The Secretary of State finds no proper grounds upon which to demand the extradition of McGarigle. Mr. Bayard, in his report to the President on the subject, says: In compliance with your request of the 7th inst for report on the question whether, considering the facts presented tending to show that the scheme for the escape of William J. McGarigle, a fugitive from the justice of the United States in the Dominion of Canada, whose extradition is desired by the authorities of the State of Illinois, was concocted by foreigners and carried out by them by means of a foreign vessel, there are not grounds upon which to ask for his surrender by tho British Government, I have the honor to state taut after a careful examination of the papers submitted I am unable to discover in them any ground upon which a demand by the Government of the United States upon that of Great Britain for the surrender of the accused could be based. Tho Secretary ad Is that McGarigle’s return cannot be asked on grounds of comity, because such comity could not bo reciprocated, not being within treaty stipulations. The Commissioner of Agriculture, Mr. Colman, is delighted with the success of the sugar manufacture of Kansas and New Jersey.
