COUNTING BALLOTS.

suits Is Being Used.

The members of the board OF canvassers

Court room today, busily engaged I'm
counting the votes cast in the city elec-
tion. They were located in their Office
yesterday, but this was too convenient
for the curious idlers who had nothing
better TO do than TO watch tine operation
OF the new counting machine, and as the
result the members Of the board founu
that their time was taken ur i'm making
explanations of the workings OF the new
counting system, and SO little actual
work was accomplished that they were
glad to change their head quarters this
morning.
ihe memb bers OF the board are taking
their time in making their count. Yes
terday they commenced with the second
district of the First Ward, the votes OF
the first district not having reached the
city hall at that time. IL is their opinion
that 1t will be fully two weeks before the
entire count Of the city is completed.
The machine on which the votes are
counted this year is a novel arrangement.
based upon the principles OF the most
approved cash register Ii was made by
the National Cash Register Company

platform adopted in st. L3uis in 1896.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 5.-Although the

ing the universality of the use of that
Language in the diplomatic world.
A border of red lines carefully drawn
surrounds the writing of the treaty,

bound together at the back with a silk

red. white and blue colors of our ma

Then comes the forma.ity of signing
the treaty The secretary of state signs
his name directly beneath the two col
umns. and the foreign minister signs
his name directly beneath the signature
of the secretary of state, and this copy
of the treaty is filed in the archives of
the department of state. But the copy
which is to be sent abroad is frs.
signed by the foreign minister, and the
secretary of state afhxes his signature
beneath. The great seal of the United
States is affixed to each copy, and the
great seal of the foreign power is also
paced upon the deed Then the treaty
is complete, SO far as the executive
branch of the government is concerned,
but in this country and in limited
monarchies the consent of the legis-
lative branch of the government must
be obtained. Russia, however, COM
pletes her par. of the treaty in all cases
when her minister affixes his signature.
In this country it is the duty of the
secretary of state to formally notify

copy of the treaty is officially laid be-
fore the senate for its considerations
Treaties are regarded as secrets of
great importance, and they are only
considered by the senate in secret ses-
sion. 1t requires two-thirds of the SEN
ate to ratify a treaty. When any treaty
receives the approval of two-th;rds of
the senate, the secretary of the senate Sc
certify informs the secretary of safe,
and then the president of the United
States affixes his signature to both
copies of the treaty, and the foreign
minister secures the signature of his
royal master to each copy. Then the
treaty is complete and of full force, and
it becomes the duty of the chief ex-
ecutive of each country to make procla-
nation of the fact to the world. This is
sometimes done by private correspond
ence. but usually by public proclama-
ton.
A treaty between two great ma tions is
a solemn obligation, and therefore a

Especial Berlin Letter

lSpec1al Berlin LetteE
The modernizing of Berlin dates,
practically, from 1871, at which time
the city became, in lieu Of being the
residence of the Prussian kings for a
part of the year only, the capital of re-
united Germany and of a powerful en-
pire. Since then the process of evoIy-
ing a metropolis in the full sense of the
word has been going on uninterrupted
ly. Vast suburban territory has been
annexed and he who has not seen Ber-
lin for 25 years would not recognize
her, for what he sees to-day is virtually
n new city. The whole belt of we'll
built, airy, broad, shaded avenues
around the old town proper is of recent
construction. All those fine, fashiona-
BILE quarters, like the Hansa quarter
the Moafit, the Bellevue, the Potsdam,
the Thiergarten quarters, are new.
Even the old town is gradually being
replaced and rebuilt. Whole streets,
dingy, narrow, made up of low, shaky
houses are purchased of the owners by
the city and are reconstructed-spa-
cious, magnificent. And every one of
these municipal enterprises has SO far
turned out paying one, as the demand
Tor tine business quarters in the heart
of the town is a brisk one, and rents paid
after such undermining are high enough
to reimburse in the total for all the
outlay, even if it runs high into the
millions.
Among the many things which the
Berlin of former days was deficient in.
monuments and public fountains may
be mentioned. Every tourist who visits
Paris and London notices that these
two elements of urban attractiveness-
monuments of great men and women
n md n for f,fr -
architectural beauty-play a large part
in the charms of tl:Sse cities as whole
The Berlin people felt this after the
war with France, and they have gone
about to remedy the defect in their own
city. They have done as much as time
and means would permit within the
short space of 25 years, and they now
may truthfully boast that they have
succeeded artistically as we'll. Still Ber-
lin in this respect is good ways behind
the older capitals of France and Eng
lond, not to speak of Italy, that cradle
of modern art, where the very stones of
the old cities proclaim their past great
ness. Yet, as 1 said, Berlin has done
wonderfully much for so brief a time
As to the means needed these have
been furnished in all sorts of ways.
voluntary subscriptions - in some
cases coming from the whole nation
have accomplished the largest part
It has been figured up that by such
subscriptions during the past 25 years
the pretty sum of $4,000, 900 marks
has been raised. One of these mon
nments, for instance-now going up
will swallow alone the trifie of Ii ,OOO,-

literally contributed. and in many

monuments, busts or other sculptural
works of the larger kind. OF this num-
Der, however, but relatively few are
works of art of the first order. The
Goethe monument in the Thiergarten,
wholly of Carrara marble, is by general
consent considered the finest of all
Berlin monuments, and, indeed, one
may say that there are few, if any,
more piastically fine in the world.
OF other monuments erected to the
memory of great German poets the
Schiller monument, standing near the
Royal theater, and the Lessing monu-
Inent, in the Thiergarten, are note
worthy. Most popular. though, aad
also very beautiful, is the statue of
Queen Louise, in the very heart cf the

never fails to see and which, on the
