RATIFIED BY CHINA
NEW TREATY WITH THIS OUN-
TRY TO GO INTO EFFECT.
Minister Yang Yu Notifies Secretary
Gresham that the Document Has
Been Accepted by His Supcriors.

WASHINGTON. Sept. Identification has
been given TO the government, in an in
formal way, of the ratification by the
Chinese government of the new treaty be-
tween the United States and China, which
was negotiated by Secretary of State
Gresham and the Chinese minister. Yang
Yu, and ratified by the Senate on the part
of the United States. Only the formal ex-
change of notifications between the De-
partment of State aud the minister is TO be
transacted to make the treaty the law gov
erning the relations of the two powers,
and this ceremony will doubtless take
place within the month. Minister Yang
Yu called upon Secretary Gresham last
week and said to him that he had received
word from his government that 1t had rat
flied the treaty that the document had
been forwarded TO kim; also that he had
received instructions to exchange ratifica-
tons with the United States as soon as 1t
was delivered TO him
The treaty, with the Chinese seal and sig
natures, was sent from Pekin about four
weeks ago. being forwarded by way OF
Shanghai. In the ordinary course of COM
munication six weeks would be required
for its transmittal to Washington, so that
it is not expected at the legation for two
weeks, the Minister said. This is the first
authentic information received in this
country regarding the action of the Chinese
authorities or the treaty. So long a time
has elepsed since the treaty was drawn
that speculations had begun to float about
in semi-official circles which, disregarding
the distance between the two capitals, and
the time required for communication, ques-
toned whether the Chinese authorities in
tended to ratify the treaty; whether they
were not dissatisfied with it, or were not
delaying the exchange of notifications to
serve some diplomatic purpose of their
own. 1t would seem from the
given to the Secretary of State by the
Chinese minister that the speculations have
been without much ground. As the diplo-
matte business of the government is, from
its nature, transacted secretly, Minister
Yang Yu's communication to the Secretary
of State was not made known until Secre-
tary Gresham's attention was called to the
speculations a1oat concerning the course
of the Chinese government. Then Secretary
Gresham gave to che reporter the true
status of the matter. and said, in effect,
that the reports that there was any cause
for dissatisfaction over the way China was
proceeding toward consummation of the
treaty were entirely ~groundlesS.

is simply to remove, as far as possible, the
embarrassments under which Democratic
candidates for Congress labor on account
of the hostile policy and official inactivity
of the Pension Bureau during the last eigh-

inclined TO quarrel with the motive so long

war who still survive, and the widows and
orphans of those who are dead, to enjoy
the benefits of even a brief respite from the
