HAGUE TREATY RATIFIED.
United states the Second of the Pow
ers to Confirm the Two COnven-
lions Agreed Upon.

WASHINGTON, April s.-The president
has ratified The Hague conventions pro-
viding for universal arbitration of inter-
national disputes and for the regulation of
the use of warlke instruments.
The Publications will Immediately be
notified to The Hague through United
States Minister Newell.
Notwithstanding the distance of the
Washington government from the scene
of negotiations and the place where the
ratihcations are to be deposited it IL be-
lieved the United States is probably Sec
ond to only one of the whole congress
OF nations represented az The Hague
peace conference in perfecting the for
malities to give full effect to the action
of the conference So far as II is known,
the United States senate was the first
legislative body to approve of the two
conventions agreed upon at the confer
ence.
The Dutch parliament itself did not
ratify the treaties until a few days ago.
The next step In order will be the selec-
ton of the persons who are to serve the
United States as members of the perma-
nent board of arbitration, but It is prob
able that this viii not be made until the
state department has received notice OF
the final adhesion to the conventions Of
all the powers that were parties to their
making.
