Chinese Treaty Ratified.

The Senate in executive session rati-
fed the treaty for the extension of the
commercial relations between the
United States and China, and then re-
moved the Injunction of secrecy. No
opposition was manifested by any sen
ator to the treaty. although Mr.. Mel
son, Republican, of Minnesota, made
long speech in which ffe criticised the
convention as making insufficient pro
vision for the trade OF the United
States. He said 1t indicated that the
hand of Russia had been shown against
this country. making it impossible for
the United States to receive the con
cessions needed in the way of open
ports. He said that the ports of Muk
den and Antung, which are opened un-
der the treaty. are in fact inland ports
accessible only to vessels of light
draft. He blamed Russia for this con
dition of AFFAIRS. and warned the Sen
ate that we may yet have trouble with
that country over the Manchurian
question, which he said had been re-
sponsible for the inability of the Unit
ed States plenipotentiaries to obtain
the opening of other important ports
under more favorable conditions.
The attitude taken by Mr.. Nelson
was n.:leld in speeches by a number
of other senators. although it was
argued at the same time that this
treaty is an entering wedge to our
trade and that 1t was the best China
was able to do under Russian duVess.
Mr.. Lodge urged the Importance of
having the treaty ratified and said that
the State Department considered i'm
mediate action as essential. He de
clared that the ratification probably
would have a bearing on the settle
ment of the far Eastern question. Sen
ators Morgan. Cullom. Spooner and n
number of others agreed with Mr..
Lodge.
1t was stated by some of the speak
ers that if Russia had objected to the
treaty it had not been apparent, and
on the contrary it was said that she
had openly expressed her approval of
1t. There was no division on the mo-
tion to ratify.
The secretary of war has deter
mined to take no further action toward
the utterances of Major General Mac
Arthur in Honolulu recently. in which
he is alleged to have predicted war
between the United States and Ger
many. In a cablegram to the depart
ment General Macarthur explains that
his remarks were made in private con
versation. and not with the slightest
itea that they would be given public
ity. In view of the precedents in such

Denver, Dec. 27.-That Governor Pea

CHINESE PREPARING FOR WAR

comment that Mr. Gonzales came to
his death from gun shot wound at
the hands Of James II. Tillman on
January 10th, the jury being out not
less than five minutes. In general
the testimony corroborated the
accounts already published. Senator

Mr. Gonzales approached within ten
or 10 feet Tillman said "How are
you Mr.. Gonzales" the latter made
no reply but obliqued to the left.

Talk Happiness The world Is sad enough
Without your woes. No path is who'll,
rough;
Look for the places that are smooth and
clear,
And speak of those to rest the weary ca,
OF earth, so hurt by one continuous strain
OF human discomfort and grief and pain
Talk Faith. The world is better of
without
Your uttered ignorance aud morbid doubt
If you have faith in God, or man, or self.
Say SO; If not, push back upon the shell
or silence your thoughts till faith shall
come;
No one will grieve because your lips are
dumb.
Talk Health. The dreary, never chang
ing tale
OF mortal maladies is wrong aud stale;
You cannot charm or interest or please
BY harping on that minor chord, disease.
Say you are we'll, or all is we'll with YOU,
And God shalt hear your words and make
them true.

For our simple worldly pleasure,
May be reckoned something worth

All the gold we leave behind us,
When we turn TO dust again
Though our avarice may blind us,

Since we neither can direct it,
By the WINS OF fortune tossed,
Nor in other words expec, it;
What we boarded, We have lost.
