GAYNOR AND GREENE RETURN
Extradition of Americans Fleeing to
Canada to Korape Trial Is
Ordered.
MONTREAL, Que., June 8 Judge Ia-

gave Judgment In the case of the Vnlted
States against John F. Osynor and Ben
jamin D. Greene, committing both for
extradition and ordering them back to
Jail to await surrender to Vnlted States
officers.
In rendering Judgment Judge Lnfontalne
spoke for two hours and a half. Summing
up he said:
My conclusion Is that the allegation of
the conspiracy to defraud the I'nlted
Htates as neing in eximence neiween tar
ter and the accused on or about July 1,
1W7, is proved to the hilt; that Carter.
a puhllc officer and agent and trustee of
the I'nited States, was convicted in the
United States of fraud, as declared by the
United btates supreme emit In the case
of Carter against Mcljau;hry; that this
offense of fraud uml participation therein
are punishable by the laws of both Canada
and the demanding country; that the ac
cused have participated In the offense of
fraud committed by Carter, for which he
was so convicted; that fraud by an agent
and trustee and participation therein are
extraditable crimes.
Second That Carter was guilty In the
United States and convicted of emhezile
ment. which offense Is known under our
law by the term of theft, the difference In
the name of the offense in the two coun
tries being Immaterial; that the accused
have participated by their conspiracy with
Carter in tl.-j embezzlement so committed
bv him: that such participation is punish
able by the laws of both countries and is
an extraditable crime.
Third That on July 6,
1K97, the accused

WASHINGTON. D. C, June 6-The fol
lowing announcement was made at the
War department lute this afternoon:
The secretary of war Is In receipt of a
cablegram from Governor Wright announ
cing that Secretary Taft's Instructions of
yeateriluy had been formally transmitted
to the Russian admiral, and at the same
time Inquiry was made whether he would
be required to put to sea within twenty
four hours after taking on coal and pro
visions sufficient to take them to the near
est port. That up to this time only enough
coal and sufficient food supplies for use In
harbor to last from day to day had been
given, as they arrived In Manila with prac
tically no coal or provisions. Governor
Wright submitted the question as to
whether they were entitled to take on coal
and provisions to carry them to the near
est port. Governor Wright was advised
that the president directed that the twenty-
rour nours limit must he strictly enforced
fraudulently received from Carter the sum i that necessary supplies and coal must be
of $676,748.SW, knowing then that the same taken on within that time, these Instruc
had been embezzled (Stolen) by him, and I tlons being consistent with those of June
that the offense of receiving stolen prop
erty Is punishable under the laws of both
countries and is by the treaty (section 3)
and extradition crime.
Consequently I determine that the ac
cused must be committed to Jail pending
surrender.

BULLETIN OF CROP CONDITIONS
Week Most Favorable of Season In
Mountain and West Central States.
WASHINGTON, June 6. Crop conditions
are summarized as follows in the weekly
bulletin Issued by the weather bureau:
The week endina June S was the. most
favorable of the season in the Rocky moun
tain region ana over tne western portions
of the central valleys. Generally favorable
conditions prevailed in the middle At
lantic and southern states, but In New
England low temperatures with llxht frosts
and lack of rainfall have prevented growth
foruons or tne unio valley, upper lake
region, Oklahoma and southern Texas nave
suffered from excessive moisture. On the
Pacific coast the conditions were generally
favorable, although portions of California
and Oregon experienced temperatures too
low.
In the states of the Missouri and central
Mississippi valleys corn Is much improved
and good progress with cultivation has
been made In the upper Ohio valley much
planting remains to be done and in the
middle Atlantic states considerable replant
ing will be necessary on account of the
cut worms. In the southern states early
corn is bein laid by In good condition.
Winter wheat has advanced favorably,
fewer reports of injury being received from
the greater part of the area prevously af
fected. In Ohio and Nebraska, however,
although In promising condition, damage
from rust and insects has Increased some
what. Winter wheat harvest Is in frog
rest In the southern states and Is beginning
in Oklahoma and southern Kansas and
wheat Is ripening in the lower Ohio and
central Mississippi valleys. Harvest has
also begun In California, where wheat Is
maturing rapidly. On the north Pacific
coast winter wheat is in promising condi
tion, having experienced decided Improve
ment In Washington.
Under decidedly better temperature con
ditions In the spring wheat region, spring
wheat has made good progress and is
stoollng well. In portions of the Dakotas,
however, the crop Is thin and weedy In
localities. In Washington spring wheat
irln splendid condition and had made rapid
growth, and while the uuiiook in Oregon
is favorable, low temperatures have been
detrimental.
Th general condition of the oat crop Is
very promising, an Improvement heing re

of southern Texas and portions of the
east gulf and south Atlantic states, where

Admiral Enqulst Talks.
MANILA, June 6. It was asserted on
board the Aurora, flagship of Rear Ad
miral Enqulst, today, that while thu
authorities at Washington have denied th
request of the Russian admiral for an op
portunity to repair his vessels here, the
refusal being based on the fact that their
Injuries were received In battle, the matter
is not entirely settled, and additional in
structions from Washington are likely to
be Issued in regard to interning the cruis
ers. The Jemchug already has 150 tons of
coal and the Aurora 200. Admiral Enqulst
Is contracting to reclothe his crews. Rear
Admiral Train will assume charge of the
Army and Navy club In order to extend the
courtesies of the club to Admiral Enqulst.
Admiral Enqulst, referring to the recent
naval battle, said:
When the battle commenced I was far in
advance .of the main fleet, engaged In
scouting with the Oleg, Aurora and Jem
chug. Japanese torpedo boats appeared In
numbers, supported by a few cruisers. A
hea.-y engagement followed. My ships were
mainly painted black and white, and stood
out large targets against the Japanese
ships, which were painted an olive green
color and which could hardly be seen.
Owing to the Incessant fire which the
Japanese concentrated on my flagship, tho
Oleg, I transferred my flag to the Aurora.
From its bridge I could not see our main
fleet, and believing it had been defeated
and had scattered, I decided, for the sake
of humanity, to retire.
The admiral praised the Japanese gun
nery and tactics. The Raleigh, Cincinnati
and Baltimore have been sent to the north
east coast of the Island of Luzon to look
out for Japanese' and Russian warships. '

Information reaching here gives a de

outlook. This is particularly true con
cerning the unity of the foreign pressure
which Is being exerted. Although It is
not yet evident that Russia will yield to
these Influences, the exchanges in which
Berlin is taking an Important part are
considered likely to exert a strong ten
dency toward the Initiation of peace ne

Germany and the United States are now
taking the foremoBt part in the efforts
toward peace, with the other powers lend
