The Treaty Ratified by China.

WAsHINGTos Cry. Sept. 30.-Notifica-
tion has been given 10 the government in
a formal way of the ratification by the
Chinese government of the new treaty
between the United States and China,
which was negotiated by Secretary
Gresham and the Chinese m mister, Yang
Yu, and ratified by the senate on the part
Of the United States Only the formal ex-
change of ratiilcations between the depart
ment of state and the minister 10 to be
transacted 10 make the treaty a law gov
erning the relations Of the two powers,
and this ceremony will doubtless take
place within month. Minister Yang Yu
called upon Secretary Gresham last week
and said 10 him that he had received word
from bis government that il had ratified
the treaty; that the document had been
forwarded TO him. also that he had received
instructions TO exchange ratihcations
with the United States as soon as il was
delivered to him. The treaty. with the
Chinese sesl aud signature, was sent from
Peking about four weeks ago. In the
ordinary course Of communication six
weeks will be required for It's transmission
20 Washington City. so that it is not
expected at the legation for two weeks.
This IS the first authentic information
received in this city regarding the treaty.
As the diplomatic business Of the govern
ment is from its nature transacted secretly,
Yang Yu's communication 10 the secre-
tary OF state was not made known until
Secretary Cresham's attention was called
t. the speculation saosf here concerning
the apparently slow course OF the Chinese
government in taking action. Then Sec
retary Gresham gave 10 the Associated
Press reporter the status Of the matter and
said in effect that the reports iha;
there was any cause for dissatisfaction
over the way China Was proceeding toward
contamination Of the treaty were entirely
groandless-

The Tea Gown.

"This tea gown craze may be a
very good thing in its place, but,
for my part, l don't think the adop-
tion of this style of dress is to be
commended. 1t is too much like a
wrapper. And if there is one thing
more than another to which sen
sible man objects, it is coming home
to find his family i'll wrappers, un-
less in case of illness. And call it
by whatever name you please, tea
gown is nothing more or less than a
wrapper with decorations and fur
bellows. OF course, it is comfort
able, but that isn't all of life, and
the formalities must be observed. "
This was the remark of man OF
sense, and was made with an
emphasis which left no doubt of his
earnest convictions ON the subject.
There is much to he said on both
sides of this question. That loose
dresses have a tendency to make
young women careless goes without
saying. "But they are so comfort
able" is the cry.
To be sure, they are, but not
more comfortable than some other
STYLES of dress, and, certainly, not
half So becoming and picturesque
a. more closely fitting garments.
DRESSES may be- comfortably loose
without being on the free-and-easy
order which ~ many tea gowns
suggest.
The eternal fitness of things, il
carefully observed, would restrict
tea gown o. the family circle or the
private sitting rOom, and provide
a more suitable costume for after
noon home wear.
