Re: Political Offenders.
New York, April 2.-A lecture on the Russian-American treaty was delivered to-night by Nicholas Alchimikoff, chairman of the executive committee of the Russian-American national league. The clause relating to political offenses, he said, is of no benefit to this country, but would only benefit the czar. If the treaty is accepted by the American government, Russian political offenders would be thrown into the same category with the criminal offenders of that country. It would be unworthy of the people of the United States to aid in the barbarous practices of the Russian autocracy, which, it is maintained, is morally incompetent to try revolutionists whom its own despotism created.
