the fact is communicated by mail; and
this matter of treaty correspondence
may 20 on for years before final agree
ment is reached. But usually within
few months agreements are reached,
and then the formal treaty is written.
There are always two copies of the
treaty, one for this government, and
one for the foreign government. The
copy retained by the United States con-
tains the treaty in double columns, the
first column being in English, and the
parallel column in the court language
of the foreign power. A treaty between
the United States and Great Britain Is
written in only one column, because
both nations use the same language.
The court language of a majority of
the nations of the civilized world is
French, even autocratic Russia conced-
ing the unversality of the use of that
language in the diplomatic world.
A border of red lines carefully drawn
surrounds the writing of the treaty,
and the pages of the original copies are
bound together at the back with silk
ribbon representing the national colors.
The silk ribbon which binds the copy
retained by the United States bears the
red, white and blue colors of our ma
tional emblem.
Then comes the formality 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
nf Ia Sr ct, Il . /, ,;r
of the treaty is filed in the archives of
the department Of state. But the copy
which is to be sent abroad is first
signed by the foreign minister, and the
secretary of state alliXes 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
placed upon The deed. Then the treaty
is complete, so far as the executive
branch of the government is concerned,
bat in this country and in limited
monarchies the consent of the legis-
Iatiye branch of the government must
be obtained. Russia, however, COM
pletes her part Of the treaty in all cases
when her minister aifiXes his signature.
In this country it is the duty of the
secretary of state TO formally notify
the senate of the proposed treaty, and a
copy of the treaty is officially laid be-
fore the senate for its consideration.
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 sep.
ate to ratify treaty. When any treaty
receives the approval of two-thirds of
the senate,the secretary of the senate Sc
certify informs the secretary of safe,
and then the president OF the United
States afiiXes his signature to both
copies of the treaty, and the foreign
minister secures the signature Of his

royal master 90 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 proca-
nation of the fact TO the world. This is
sometimes done by private correspond
enee, but usually by public procama-
ton.
treaty between two great nations is
solemn Obligation, and therefore Il
great deal of time is taken in giving
consideration to ali of the points under
discussion. Concessions made to-day
may prove embarrassing so or 100 years
hence. Therefore diplomats must dip
into the future far as human eye can
see, and foretell if possible the effect
which the various provisions of the
treaty may have upon the succeeding
generation. Consequently it is not to
be wondered at that the processes are
elaborate and the proceedings pains
taking on the part of both governments
Some treaties are intended to be bind

IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS.
Treaties Made by Uncle Sam With
Foreign Countries.

Especial Washington Letter.l

lSpGCldl W dSnlHSlCn LSlleE.i
The newspapers have been filled with
speculatons and inquiries concerning
the treaty obligations existing between
this country and Spain which stand in
the way of the recognition of the bel.
ligerent rights of the insurgents. I'm.
doubtedly the majority of our people
have earnestly sympathized with the
patriots there, and have desired this
government to interfere in the interest
of humanity and of patriotism.
President Cleveland has strictly OBJ
served the international law in such
cases, and has also complied with the
treaty agreements between the two
countries. According to the comfy of
nations this country could not inter-
fere in Cuban affairs without ample
provocation, because the other civilized
nations of the world might have some
thing TO say on the subject. The pow
ers of the nations are well balanced,
and it is to the interest of every nation
to prevent the extension of arbitrary
power. Upon this principle the Monroe
doctrine is based. No power in Europe
shall extend its possessions upon the
American continent without the con-
sent of the United States.
Treaties are necessities of modern
civilization. When an occasion arises
which requires an agreement between
the United States and any foreign
power the minister or ambassador rep
resenting that nation at Washington
confers with our secretary of state.
under orders and directions from his
government. Immediately thereafter
letters are exchanged between the
diplomatic representatives of the two
governments, and everything is made a
matter of record. Moreover, according
to diplomatic usage no typewriting or
printing is allowed, but all of the cor
respondence is carried on with pen and
ink.
After full correspondence, and com
plete understanding, the foreign min
ister or ambassador calls upon the sec
rotary of state, and they two frame an
agreement which shall cover all of the
points IA controversy. This is called
rough draft, and copy of it is sent to
the foreign country. Nothing is done
until the rough draft is returned; and
usually it contains amendments or
suggestions from the foreign govern
ment If the secretary of state does
not agree to the proposed amendments

no business of any kind is allowed, not
even the erection of a market, picnic
was recently held, reports an exchange
of that city. In the course of the after
noon the weather grew cold. 1t was
an affair for grown-up people. The
children had been left at home. 1t was
one of these social functions the like
of which Ward McAllister instituted
at Newport. Some man mentioned u
drink, but said; 81 don't suppose any
member of this party except myself had
the courageto to bring flask" Nosooncr
had lie handed his out than every other
laymanin in the party yflashedhis, at which
there was a general laugh. The ladies
especially enjoyed it. One of the men
remarked that it was pity the women
could not carry TASKS so that the drinks
might be longer, whereupon every
blessed woman in the crowd pulled ont
Il flask. They were beautifully eram-
eled things in gold ard silver and
precious stones. The sally that greeted
this amazing eXhibition-every married
man in the party knew his wife mad a
fask-was turned to laugh at the e,l.
pense of the dgnihed rector, who was
present. lie stood it for some time,
then nearly broke up the affair by haul
ing out from his hip pocket half-pint
bottle of a rusty brownish color.

New York, Nov. 3o.-A ssistant Dis
trict Attorney Gordon Battle touched a
secret spring by chance while sitting
alone in his Office in the criminal court
building, and was soon looking ct bonds
and certificates of stock to the value of
hundreds of thousands of dollars, pos
sibly millions of dollars, and what he
considers a great fortune, he had in his
hands evidence that he had long sought,
and which may convict men who are
suspected to be connected with the
greatest syndicate of swindlers.
The spring was in the side of the iron
box found two weeks ago in the trunk
of Charles R. Mclaughlin. one of the
conspirators to rob, with which Stephen
A. Dutton, the Selig brothers and others
now under indictment for swindling are
said to be connected. The box has be T.
in Mr.. Battles Office for several days,
its known contents had been examined
several times. Damaging evidence
against members of the gang had been
found in the box. That documen
tarv evidence rested upon
false bottom, between which and the
rue bottom of the box Mr.. Battle found
much information and wealth of bonds
and certificates of stock, some of which
are known to be worthless paper issued
by the swindlers syndicate, some of
which appeared genuine, and some of
which will have to be looked into be-
fore it's worth or worthlessHess can be
