Busxos ATBES, Feb. lit.—The lawyer who has been employed to defend Jabez tSpenccr Balfonr against the attempts of the British government to secure his extradition to Kngland says that before Balfour came to Buenos Ayres he went to Monaco, where he lost very largo M»ms of money gambling. The British authorities, he adds, allowed Balfour tree scope to sscape, and now want to secure his extradition in order to repel the tory insinuation that he helped to secure the liberal victory at the general election. Balfour was formerly a liberal member of parliament and was deeply interested in building societies. Shortly after the failnre of the liberator building society, of which he was a leading spirit, be fled from Kngland to escape trial on a charge of swindling that and other societies that were carried down by the Liberator crash. Be went to tho Argentine republic, where it was reported ha was living in luxury. Recently an extrnditlon treaty was arranged between Great Britain and the Argentine republic, and it was popularly supposed that Balfour, who had been arrested at the instance of the British government, would be «k once sent to Kngland to answer tW charges against him. Balfour, however, intends to <i«ht the British government on the ground that the treaty cannot and does not cover offenses committed or alleged to have been committed before i' was negotiated, ft la the opinion of sev oral Knglish law journals that Balfour's point is well taken and will result in his ciisohargo by tho government unless the latter decides to surrender him as a matter of international courtesy instead of a matter of law.
