bon, tho French ambassador, called at
the state department and officially mott
fed Assistant Secretary Hill Of the
signing u the psAce treaty by the queen
regent. 5
The first news Of tho signing was con-
veyed to Secretary Hay and the officials
Of the administration through the bulle-
tin Of tho Associated Press. The score
tary was naturally gratified at the
action, which he had expected would
follow tho course Of the oortes. Tho
action makes 1t possible to exchange
the ratihcations, and thus complete the
treaty within the time set by tho treaty
itself q the maximum. Tho protocol
was signed Aug. ID lat, at the White
House. by the president and Ambassa-
dor Cambon; D.. 10 the treaty was
signed at Paris by the commissioners;
Feb. Sit was ratified by the UniCed
States senate, after . memorable strng-
gle; Feb. 10 the president gave it
his signature and now. today, seven
months and four days after tho signing
of the protocol, the Spanish queen re-
gent gave her formal assent and sig.

Status of Spanish Prisoners.
The signing of the treaty cannot in
any manner affect the status of tho
Spanish prisoners in the hands Of
Aguinaldo, for the United States gov
eminent is doing all that can be done to
secure their release. Still it il appre-
hended that tho Spanish government,
being unable to address itself directly
to the United States government, SO
soon as the notifications are exchanged
will not neglect to place the matter
upon the attention Of the state depart
ment, and perhaps will solicit authority
to resume direct negotiations with the
insurgents looking to the release of tho
prisoners.
Contrary to an expectation that seems
to have obtained in some quarters. the
signature Of the treaty does not involve
tho immediate discharge Of al the vol.
untssr soldiers. It was stated posi-
lively at the state department that
legally tho treaty does not 60 into effect

changed, and it will be further neces-
sary for tho president Of the United
States to proclaim it before tho people

BINDINGS WITH MEANINGS.
HANDSOME EXAMPLES IN HARMONY
WITH THE CONTENTS OF
THE BOOKS

The wise injunction DO not judge a book b.
its cover" lacks force when used in connection
with some OF the books which are now on ex-
hibtion. These books command attention be
cause Of their bindings. Among their notable
features is the one that the binding and the
designs are in harmony with the volume and
with the period Of which the book treats.
The artistic bindings which are now on eXhi-
bition at r r Bonaventure's place, No. West
Thirty third St, are among the best that have
come 10 this market, and they represent the
work Of many OF the most celebrated binders
and book decorators Of the present time. These
treasures OF the binders art are kept in glass
cases, like 50 many pieces Of jeWelry, and they
in many respects more valuable than gold
and precious stones. because some Of the books
are first editions. and others contain autographs
which are valuable in themselves regardless OF
the decorative work by which they inclosed.
fine example is a set Of four volumes en-
titled Last Years of Louis XIV" bound by David,
Of Paris in royal blue levant with fine toolins
OF Derome style and doublure Of old rose
levant, with aeur de lis centre and border of
inlaid blue. ornamented with delicate gold work
The decoration on the outside OF two Of the vol
umes is repeated on the inside, dOublure, Of
the other two.
The Groer Club is represented in the collec-
ton by several handsome books, among which
is in rich, heavy. grosgrain levant morocco,
dark green with broad border ornamented with
gold design.
fine sample Of carved cover work is a copy
OF Faust" published by the Libraire de Bibo-
philes in 1885, and bound by David TO the
casual observer this binding looks like a carving
on dark oak, and on closer inspection resembles
embossed leather work, but the bookman rec
ognizes the work Of the leather carver in the
group of angels which stand out in low relief
A remarkable book beautifully bound, is Mas
sons Cavaliers de Napoleon" illustrated by
DetaiIe and containing autographs Of the First
Napoleon. his brothers marshas and other men
OF the time The binding is In Empire green
levant morocco, with the Napoleonic arms fooled
over a spray Of laurel. The inside Of the cover
is laid out in broad white panel and this is
divided into twenty four small panels OF mosaic

In white Ievant each containing mosaic Vlo-
let and between these subdivisions are the I'M
nerial bees The whole is surrounded by rlch
green border with fooled Greek ornamentaton'
and another border with pattern OF Empire
design.
ctikeman is represented by handsome hrst
edtion Of .'NVerther's Leiden' in light blue mo-
rocco. with exquisite border in Graelot design
There is a copy also Of Schiller's "Jungfrau Won
Orleans" bound by Tafin in full blue leVah'
morocco with the arms Of the Maid Of orleans
fooled in the centre The inner side OF inc
cover is done in white morocco with smaH
shields fooled in gold.

Thausing. bound by Lefort in wine colored mo-
rocco and deliberately fooled, also attracts much
attention.
