Malich, of Denver. the city council and police department tonight ordered Malich and President Mover, of the Western Federation of Miners, to leave the city on the first train.

REYES INTERESTED.

Washington. Dec. 1S.-Because of the determination of General Reyes to support the contention he makes in his brief, that this or that phase of this governments isthmian policy was against precedent, by his historical references as well as by high authori- ties of international law, the prepara tion of the papers to be presented to the state department is taking longer than was at first expected.
 Indeed. Gen. Reyes is not in any haste to send it for this may be taken by the Colombians as the termination of their envoy's mission here and the country might seize on the opportunity to make a war a contingency which Gen. Reyes has thus far used his ut most endeavor to prevent. No cable grams reached the Colombian legation tonight.
 The delegation officials are not in- cIined to pass up the right of the Atlanta to make d reconnoiter on Colombian territory, but it is evident that in their opinion such action was not strictly in accordance with the best international etiquette.
 General Reyes is following with keen interest the canal debate in the ser- ate. It was stated today that he had been profoundly impressed by the speech of Senator Hoar. Copies of the speech will be sent to Bogota for pub lication.

Sir Thomas the Persistent Desires to Try it Again
NEGOTIATIONS OPENED
The Announcement Made Last Night at a Dinner on the Occasion of the Presentation of a Silver Service Given by His American Admirers.

London. Dec. 1S.-Sir Thomas Lipton announced his readiness 10 again challenge for the Americas cup. when the silver service, subscribed for by the people of the United States, was pre- sented to him at a dinner held at the Hyde Park Hotel tonight The dinner was attended by several members of the house of commons, the members of the London presenta ton committee. including John R.. Carter, second sec retary of the United States embassy: Capt. Chas. H. Stockton, United States naval attache. and Major John R. Beacon, United States military at tache, and by nearly a hundred Ameri- can residents in London, as we'll as several who are now visiting here.
 Consul General Evans presided and in presenting the service said it was unprecedented tor such an honor to be paid to a foreigner by the people of the United States, but that Sir Thomas Lipton had won the golden opinions of these from whom he tried to wrest the Americas cup.
 Sir Thomas Lipton, replying. said he was proud man to be the recipient of such a splendid gift. adding. .'It will
 
 treasure"
 Referring in a humorous vein to the value of the gift of raising the wind" Sir Thomas Lipton said that he never really had any difficulty in doing so except at Sandy Hook. He had hoped. he said, to add an interesting feature to the fiscal controversy by increasing British silver imports with that inter esting import, the Americas cup. Hav- ing failed to do so. he found in this silver service a splendid substitute. Speaking with much feeling. Sir Thomas said that if any action Of his had tended to a better feeling he- tween Great Britain and the United States it would be a source of sincere happiness to him to the end of his days, though what he had done was merely a slight return for the gensr- osity and courtesy showered upon him by the American people.
 Continuing, Sir Thomas said: The love which always exists between a true mother and a true daughter. how ever wealthy and aristocratic that daughter should become. including duchesses and other Americans. should keep the two countries together Am erica's progress toward the southern pole was only hindered by the newly founded republic of Panama. and We must work together for the peace Of the world. Blessed are the peacemak- CTS, quoted Sir Thomas, who amid great laughter. finished the quotation. for they shall inherit the earth"
 Sir Thomas said that he had sent a letter to the New York Yacht Club dealing with another possible challepga for the cup. He added that he was quite willing to have one last try. provided I have a reasonable chance Of success. especially as the next Shamrock will be a lucky four-laafed one"

CHINA TREATY
It Was Ratified by the Sen ate in Executive Session
HE INUTILITY OF IT
hr. Nelson Points Out That it Merely Allows the United States to Trade at Inaccessible Ports and Thinks We Must Have to Nix With Russia.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The senate in executive session today ratified the treaty for the extension of the commer- cisl relations between the United States and China and then removed the injunction of secrecy.
 No opposition was manifested by any senator to the treaty. although MT. Nelson (:ep., Minn.) made a long speech ih which he criticized the con- vention as making insufficient provis- ion for the trade of the United States. He said 1t indicated that the hand of Russia had been shown against the country, making it impossible for the United States to receive the colces- sions needed in the way of open ports. He said that the ports of Mukden and Autung, which are opened under the treaty. are in fact inland ports. access sible only to vessels of light draft. He

blamed Russia for this condition of af- fairs, and warned the senate that we may yet have trouble with that coun- try over the Manchurian question, which he said had been responsible for the inability of the United States plenipotentiaries to obtain the opening of other important ports under more favorable conditions.
 The attitude taken by MT. Nelson was upheld in speeches by a number of other senators, although it was ad judged at the same time that this trea- ty is an entering wedge to our trade and that it was the best China could do under Russian duress.
 MT. Lodge urged the importance of having the treaty ratified, and said the state department considered imme- diate action as essential; he declared that the ratification probably would have a bearing on the settlement of the far eastern question. Senators Nor gan, Cullom, Spooner and others agreed with Ledge. It was stated by some of the speakers that if Russia had objected to the treaty it had not been apparent, and on the contrary. it was said that she had openly eX- pressed her approval of it.
 There was no division on the motiCn to ratify.
