TREATY WITH CHINESE
RATIFIED BY THE UNITED
 STATES SENATE.
Nelson of Minnesota Says it is Ap- parent the Hand of Russia Has Been shown Against
 America.

Washington. Dec. 1S.-The Senate in ex- ecutive session to-day ratified the treaty for the extension of the commercial re- lations", between the United States and China and then removed the, injunction of secrecy. 0.
 No opposition was manifested by any senator to the treaty though Mir. Nelson Rep., Minn.). made a long speech in which he criticized the Convention as making insufficient provision for the trade of the United States. He said it indi- cated the hand of Russia had been shown against this country. making it impossi- ble for the United States to receive the concessions needed in the way. of open ports. He said that the ports of Mukden and Antung which are opened under the treaty provisions are in fact inland ports. accessible only to vessels of light draft. He blamed Russia for this condition of affairs and warned the Senate that we may yet have trouble with that country over the Manchurian question which he said had been responsible for the inability of United States plenipotientiaries to ob- tain the opening of other important ports, under more favorable condition.
 The attitude taken by Mr. Nelson was upheld in speeches by number of other

 which marked Jeffersons purchase Of the territory.
 The musical program, arranged by Prof. George l.. QConnell, was divided into

 dances and promenades by modern com- posers. 3 ta4,
 The grande entree. which opened the ball, gave the effect of brilliant court
 reception; the marchers dressed in the
 costumes of colonial days. Fifty couples
 danced minuet and gavotte. The inte-
 rior of the opera house was superbly
 decorated with flags. emblems. flowers and plants symbolic of the epoch when Louisiana was passing from foreign doni-
 nation. and in the dazzling light the
 contrast between the highly-colored cos

CELEBRATION OF CENTENARY '}l IN NEW ORLEANS.
French Ambassador and Spanish Counsel Join With American Of,
 Acials in Making the occas- ion a Memorable One.

New Orleans, Dec. 1s.-Favored with ideal weather which made the naval re- view on the river brilliant function. the series of three days celebrations in. com memoration of the transfer of the province of Louisiana from France to the United States was inaugurated today.
 It was in New Orleans December 20 century ago, that the dramatic scene was enacted which in Napoleon's lam guage gave the American republic an em. pire, and tomorrow in the same room oi the Cabildo in which Governor Claiborne and General Wilkinson received the trans fer of the mighty territory which only twenty days before the French had ac- cepted from Spain, the events of that memorable day will have a ceremonial duplication.
 So indissolubly linked are Louisiana and New Orleans with the historic details of the transfer that two years ago the Louisiana Legislature authorized an of- ficial celebration of the event. It was desired to make the occasion of national and international significance. The Louisiana Historical Society was given

Senators Morgan, Cullom, Spooner and a number of others agreed with MT. Lodge.
