THE BERING SEA TREATY.
1t Was Ratified by the Senate in
Executive Session Yesterday.


Yesterday afternoon, in executive session,
the Senate ratified the treaty which pro-
vides for a commission to arbitrate the
claims made by citizens of England against
the United States for seizure OF vessels en-
gagged in the capture of fur seals prior to
the Paris award. 1t was verbally amended
by the committee on foreign relations, but
not to an extent to materially change :ts
purport. The Senate ratified 1t without
making any changes in addition to those
made by the committee and without any
dissenting vote.
The agreement was explained by Senator
Sherman, chairman of the committee on
foreign relations, and by Senators Gray
and Cullom. Senators Hoar and Chandler
criticised the wording of the document, but
ton. Senator Pugh suggested the absence
of his colleague. Senator Morgan, and
stated that the latter was DESTROYS of being
present when the treaty should be taken
up. Attention was called to the fact that
Mr.. Morgan had opposed the settlement
proposed by Secretary Gresham during the
last session, but 1t was stated in reply that
Mr.. Morgan would be satisfied with the
treaty as amended, and ii urged that
as much time had already elapsed, it
was important that action be no longer de-
layed.
Some questions were asked as to the
amount involved in the proposed settle
ment, and it was stated in reply that this
could not be definitely given. The nearest
approximation to the figures possible was
the sum which Secretary Gresham had
agreed to pay, which was something less
than half million dollars.

PEACE ON EARTH.
A Memorial to BE Presented to Con-



Representative Hit has received from
Mrs. Frost ormsby, president of the In
ternational Peace League of America, me-
mortal which is to be presented to Con-
gress. 1t is as follows:
I'VE, the undersigned peace committee,
known as the Women's International Peace
Union, sympathize heartily with the me-
mortal in favor of a permanent arbitration
tribunal between Great Britain and the
United States, which is now being extern
sively signed in both countries.
I'VE appeal to the governments of these
two great nations to grant the request
of their memorialists and thus to inaugu-
rate a system of international arbitration
which shall eventually supersede the ar
btrament of the sword.
Such permanent court would prove an
example to the whole world, an example
which we are confident would gradually
be followed by other nations, thus putting
an end to the present ruinous expenditure
on ornaments, and permitting the people
to enjoy the fruits of their labors in peace

various articles within. From the Fifth
Sixth street was not far behind and there
also several hundred gained admfttance
The store throughout was beautifully dec
GRATED with ferns and evergreens which were
hardly necessary, however as the beautiful
articles of furniture and household effects
were in themselves sufficient ornamentation
Tor any place Every aisle in the store was
crowded from the time the doors were thrown
open until they were closed and it was hard
indeed, for one to get about. Young men and
their sweethearts gaZed with longing ewes
upon the housefurnishings which were every-
where, ana realized once more what stood
between them and the consulnmation of their
fondest hopes. Women who had purchased
furniture for their homes before the Young
man and his sweetheart ever had a thought
along that line gaZed with more critical eyes
upon the various articles.
Near the Fifth street entrance were the

BIMETA1LIsM THE REMEDY
Proposed to the Farmers by the
French Premier.

PARIS, Dec 9.-The agricultural bud
get was discussed in the chamber of
deputies today. The premier, NJ Me-
line. admitted that the farmers were
suffering from the continual fall in
prices and that the import duties had
partly lost their efficacy, owing to the
fall in value in foreign coin and the
fall in exchanges. The remedy, he ex-
planned, was in binletallism, but, he
added the question needed interna-
tional settlement. The government, he
further stated, intended to study the
effects of speculation in wheat and
farmers insurance.
Continuing, the premier suggested
that a system of export bounties was
dangerous and might bring reprisals.
The government, however, would con-
slider the proposition. In conclusion, M.
Meline said that one of the greatest
services which could be rendered to
French husbandry, would be to re-
lieve it from land taxation.
The Able Lemire called the govern
ment's attention to the increase in the
exports of pork from the United States,
and NJ Meline, in reply, said that. the
imports of pork and salt meats had de-
creased from 100000 to 10000, ,00O
francs Therefore, the premier pointed
out, foreign imports had not caused the
fall in prices, which, he explained, was
due to increased home production.

The crowds that hugged the corner of Fifth
street and First avenue last evening sig-
nified some unusual event, and there could
be nothing more effective in drawing out
such crowd than the holiday opening and
display d Of the $. E.; Olson company depart
ment store. From the moment Of entrance
the person who found himself one of that
great number who twas at the opening .
was attracted by the glitter and glow of
color, the effect Of decoration which was ex-
pressed on every SIDE There was nothing
sombre, heavy, cumbersome; everything was
light, airy, fantastic and no part Of the
house was uninvaded by the air of festiyity
that enveloped the establishment In the
hands Of Mr.. Olson's decorators the interior
Of the store in all it's departments had been
made to blossom in thousand variegated
hues. There was feast of color for the
eye which came with the use of decorative
features pure and simple. and with the en-
ployment of the wares with which the shelves
and counters are heavily stocked.
The central point of interest in the build
ing was the light well, point of vantage
for the head decorator. He had converted
it into a grotto of fairyland in effect, fanci-
ful in design, airy in construction, bright in
color. The space was hung with pinks blues
and whites, and strewn with garlands and
wreaths OF roses. veritable shower of

Iy Decorated at the Opening.

Through a network of pine festoons and a
tracery of holly branches on plate glass win
dCws, the interior of Bo1tell Bros store
presented a picture last evening which first
attracted, then held the admiration of the
thousands of pleasure seekers who were
abroad. The annual holiday opening of the
great furniture establishment at the corner
of First avenue and Fifth street proved. an
artistic enjoyment to those who availed them
selves of the entertainment offered. The re-
arrangement of the floor space afforded a
long promenade at right angles from the
corner entrance across the store and back
to the elevator, thence up the stairway and
through the other stories. The show win
-dows were edged with holly branches, and
the red berries nesting amid the glossy
leaves extended a holiday greeting which
was not mistaken The effect of green OBJ
tained with pine. with branching palms, with
holly. was in contrast to the richer colors
OF silks in tapestry, upholstery drapery and
the etceteras which make the sum total of
housefurnishings. The air was flooded with
music, and through the evening the military
band from Fort Smelling played a programme
of popular airs. The very effective decora-
tons were continued through the several
floors, and Messrs. Boutell were the recip-
tents OF many congratuiatory words for their
artistic effort The most conspicuous result
was the excellent showing of their furn.-
ture stock. The opening was a feast for the
eye and the ear. the most practical features
OF the opening will be in evidence as the holi-
day season advances.
