THE RUSSIAN TREATY
Expected to Be Ratified at st. Petersburg
Within the Next Month.

Expected to Be Ratified at st. Petersburg
Within the Next Month.
The treaty with Russia has been ratified by
the Senate, SO it has been officially declared,
and the only formality yet remaining to be
observed prior to its proclamation Is the ex-
change of ratifcations, which it is expected
will take place IN st. Petersburg next month.
The treaty originally drafted by Secretary
Bayard six years ago YVES objected to BY .
majority of the Senators on account of sec
ton relating to political crimes.
1t remained on the executive calendar with
out action until q few weeks ago, when Sec
rotary Foster secured the consent of the
Russian Government to an amendment SINH
lar in terms to a provision in the treaty of
extradition with Belgium, which has been in
lows:
IAN attempt against the life Of the head
of either Government against that of any
member Of his family, when such attempt
comprises the act of either rider or assas-
sination or poisoning shall not be considered
a political offsnse, or an act connected with
such an offeDse."
Officials at the State Department say that
this provision is widely different from the
assertion made by the opponents of the
treaty that "the amendment of the treaty,
as it now stands. provides that an attempt to
kill the Gar or any one of the Russian roy.
al family, 10 matter what the motive may
be- shall not be considered as q political
offense, hence person charged by the Rus
sian Government with such an ate mpt shall
be e1tradited by our Government"

MORE SEATS IN THE HOUSE.

The next House OF Representatives will con-
tain % more members than the present House,
and in consequence thereof rs many more seats
will have to be put in. Ex-Spesksr Reed and
Bonrke Cochran are in favor of doing away
with the desks now in use and substituting
benches similar to those in Parliament. By
this scheme only about one half the space now
occupied will be put to use, and the remaining
part will be partitoned off into reception and
writing rooms. Another scheme is to take the
Speakers desk about 10 feet back. necessitat-
ing the removal of the front wall. Both of
these schemes will require legislation by Con-
gress and to complete them will cost quite q
sum Of money. The plan which is most likely
to be followed is the removing of the screens
in the hack of the House sufficiently In the
rear to permit the placing Of ~ desks On either
side. This it is estimated will only cost 81 600,
which can come out Of the contingent fnnd Of
the House by order Of the Speaker, and does
not require any legislation.

CHANDLER ON IMMIGRATION.

Senator Chandler, from the Committee on
Immigration, has submitted to the Senate Q
report on his bill establishing additional regu-
lations concerning immigration in the United
States by increasing by three the number Of
excluded classes of aliens. The first class are
the nliterste over twelve years of age, and in
speaking of these the report says that. in view
of the alarming change which is taking place
in the character of immigrants that are swarm
ing into the United States, the measure is not
a harsh one. Aged persons, however. are per-
mitted to come in and join their families.
The second class are those persons partially
or wholly disabled from manual labor. They
are to be made the subject Of special inquiry
and proof must be produced that they will not
become public charge.
The third class are persons belonging 70
societies which favor or justify unlawful de-
struction of property or life; under the pres
ent law, says the report, they can entsr the
United States, but the measure proposes 70
remedy this condition Of affairs.

NO BONDS TO BE ISSUED NOW.

It is believed that there will lie no issuance
OF bonds by the Treasury under this Admins
tratiou. There was discussion OF the ques-
ton Cabinet meeting last Friday, at which
time Secretary Foster. Of the Treasury Depart
ment. brought up the subject. He represented
that the Treasury statement about to be issued
weuld show that the gold in the Treasury was
$i97 22s Age, leaving s., 2e2s 4ss free gold From
this was to be sui,strarted The S. 600, 0G0 gold
taken from the Snbtfeasury IN New York
for export Saturday. 1t is understood that
the Presidents position that additional
bonds should be Issued was Endorsed by Score
tares Rusk and Eikins, while the necessity Of
taking some immediate steps to relieve the
stringency by the issue Of bonds was believed
in by Secretary Tracy IS we'll as Secretary
Foster.
However, the result OF the conference il
stated on good authority to have been . de-
cision not to issue bonds at this time. The
feeling is that the emergency should not be an
ticipated. President Harrison is convinced
that necessity will arise for the sale of
bonds TO maintain the parity OF silver Or gold.
and he has repeatedly declared that he will
maintain that parity. He is credited with the
belief that the demand for gold for export is
not only artificial, but that it is part of a
scheme, international in its scope having for
its object the issue OF bonds. When it becomes
apparent that no bonds will be issued, his
opinion is that heavy drafts upon the Treasury
gold will cease.
