An interesting case is to be argu d In the Supreme Court on Monday in which the court will be called on to decide as to the validity of an extradition treaty negotiated with I'russia in 1SC2, the prisoner's contention being that I'russia, as a nation, ceased to exist in 1S71, when the German empire was formed, while Marshal Ames holds the alliance had no effect on Prussia's international treaty obligations. The case is that of Gerhard Terlinden against John C. Ames, marshal of the Northern district of Illinois. Terlinden was arrested on u warrant issued on complaint of the German consul at Chicago, who charged Terlinden had committed a forgery in Germany. The latter sued out a writ of habeas corpus, but the lower court held that the question of extradition was political and not judicial. On the ground that the courts must determine whether an extradition was valid, the case was brought before the Supreme Court. Naval Officers to Witness Coronation. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.

BUTLER TEAM CRIPPLED

FI VI-: WILL HAVE HIS All VATAii: AGAINST V. 31. C. A. 31. T. II. S. nnd Shortrldne lMnj To. Muht IIot of Materinl for Two Tennis Anions Ilutler Girls. The Butler basketball team will enter the game with the Y. M. C. A. team to-night In a crippled condition, showing lack of practice, both in team work and basket throwing. The team has only practiced twice since the last league tame, and has not been able to regain its former form. Most of the players spent the vacation out of town,' where they did not see a basketball. Two of the players have not recovered from injuries received in the last league game with the High School. The defeat by the High School is considered by the team and its supporters due to luck and injustice in umpiring, and Butler supporters believe Butler has the stronger team. This it hopes to show in the next game, for which the team will make the greatest preparation. Murray has not fully recovered and will probably be played but one half in the game to-night. If the team can hold the Y. ,M. C. A. down to the former league scores it will be satisfied. Coach Kelly says he is going to put the team through the hardest practice of the year next week in order to get the men into-condition for the game with the Training School next Saturday night. Mr. Kelly thinks the South Side boys are the most dangerous competitors for second place. Coach Home, of Indiana University, has been present at the last few practices, lie says Butler and I. U. are pretty evenly matched and assures exciting games. He says I. U. is not adopting the rough style of play, but is playing straight basketball. Manager Long- has added one more game to his large schedule. The game is with an athletic club in Chicago, to be played there. The team will line up to-night with Hugglns and Murray, forwards, Longley, center, and Mehring and Butler, guards. "Wilson will probably be played the second half. HLTLKIl GIRLS TEAM. Plenty of Good Material Developed In Last MKht's Practice. The young ladies of the college played basketball for the first time this season last night. The practice developed some surprising material. Almost three teams were present, and all the girls have had experience. Two of the best players on last year's team say they will not play this year. They are Misses Netta Campbell, and Helen Downing. All the other members of the team are back, with two players who were on the team two years ago Miss Coyner and Miss Carpcnder. Miss Coyner was considered the best forward in school when on the team. She will probably play the same position this year. Two teams will be formed in a few days a "dorm" team and a "town" team. The rivalry which always exists between these two teams has always afforded ample playing1 for the girl, but this year the winners will represent Butler In games with the Shortriiige team and an Karlham team. An effort Is also being made to play the Anderson High School team. ' The girls who are playing for the teams are Misses Verna Richey, Essie Hunter, Mary Smith, Xina Kly, Mary Baldwin, Johnny Carpender, Tera Campbell, Donna Coyner, Mary Wickler, Florence Moore. Hazel Reeves, Laura Forsythe and Kdith Abbott. S. II. S. nnd 31. T. H. S. IMny To-MKht. The Y. M. C. A. gymnasium will not accommodate the people who desire to see the basketball game to-night, between Training School ' and ShörtVidge. X,t will be the first time the two teams have lined up on the basketball court this season, and the rooters will be out in force. Both teams have displayed wonderful strength this season, but M. T. H. S. is considered the stronger. The teams will line up about the same as they have in previous league games. FAVORITES FARE BADLY. Only One Goes First Over the Line nt evr Orleans. NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 3. Favorites fared badly in to-day's racing, Monos being the only one to score. Most of the winners were, however, fairly well supported. T. Walsh's ill-judged ride spoiled a plunge on Samivel in the second race. The gelding was backed from eights to threes, but had nothing left when the pinch came. Enoch Wishard, who is organizing John B. Drake's stable, arrived to-day and is looking over the material here. To-day's winners and odds: Eliza Dillon, 6 to 1; Ecome, 5 to 1; Meggs, 7 to 2; Death, 5 to 1; Monos, 8 to 5; Lingo, 4 to 1. " Surprise nt Oakland. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3.
