UPTON TOGHALLENGE AGAIN
LETTER ALREADY SENT TO YEW
 FORK YACHT CLUB.

Makes Announcementn Ut Dinner in His
 Honor at Which she silver service
 Given by the American People Was
 Presensed to Him-Nexs Shamrock a
 Four-Leafed One.
 London Dec. 1s.--Sir Thomas Lipton announced his readiness to again chal- lenge for the Americas cup when the silver service subscribed for by the peo- pie of the United States was presented 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 presentation committee, includ- ing John R. Carter. second secretary of the United States embassy: Captain Charles H. Stockton. United States na- val attache, and Major John R Bea- com, United States military attache, and by nearly hundred Americans resident in London, as well as several who are now visiting here.
 Consul General Evans presided, and in presenting the service said that 1t was unprecedented for such an honor to be paid foreigner by the people of the United States, but that Sir Thomas Lipton had won the golden opinions of those from whom he had 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: Tt will be cherished by me as my most valued treasure :
 Referring in a humorous vein to the value of the gift in raising the wind,n Sir Thomas said that he never really had any difficultiny in 50 doing except at Sandy Hook. He had hoped to add an inter esting item to the fiscal contro- versy by increasing British silver inl- ports with that interesting Import, the Americas cup Having failed to do so, he found in this silver service a splen- did substitute.
 Speaking with much feeling, Sir Thomas said that if any action of his had tended to the development of bet ter feeling between Great Britain and the United States it would be source of sincere happiness to him to the end of his days, though what he had done
 was merely a slight return for the gem erosity and courtesy showered upon
 him by the American people. Continu-
 ing, Sir Thomas said:
 1 The love which always exists be-
 tween a true mother and a true daugh- < ter however wealthy and aristocratio ! that daughter may become, including
 duchesses and other Americans should { keep the two countries together. Amer
 ica's progress toward the southern pole
 was only hindered by the newly -found- ed republic of Panama, and we must
 work together for the peace of the world. Blessed are the peacemakers, "
 quoted Sir Thomas, who amidst laugh l ter finished the quot ation, l. For they
 shall inherit the earth.
 Sir Thomas said that he had sent a letter to the New York Yacht club deal ling with another possible challenge for l the cup. He added that he was quite | willing to have one last try, providing l I have reasonable chance of success. ] especially as the next Shamrock will be
 a lucky four-leafed one.''
 An entertainment by American artists
 brought to a close a thoroughly success
 ful event.

CHINESE TREATY RATIFIED.
SENATE ACTS ON IMPORTANT
 CONVENTION.
Criticised by lIr. Nelson but It is Ad- mitted to be an Entering Wedge Russia Blamed That Better Ports Are Not Opened Under E-nIay Have Bearing on settlement of Far Eastern Question.

Washington, Dec. 1s.--The senate in executive session to-day ratified the treaty flor the extension of the com mercial relations between the United States and China, and then removed the injunction of secrecy. No opposi- tion was manifested by any senator to the treaty. though MT. Nelson, repub- Iican of Minnesota, made long speech in which he criticized the convention as making insufficient provision for the trade os the United States. He said it indicated that the hand of Russia had been shown against this country, mak- ing it impossible for the United States to receive the concession 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 Rus sia 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 the United States plenipot 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 argued at the same time that this treaty ins an enter ing wedge to our trade and that it was the best China was able to do under Russian duress. .s
 MT. Lodge of Massachusetts urged the importance of having the treaty ratified at once and said that the state depart n1ent considered immediate action as essential. He declared that the conven- ton probably would have a bearing on the settlement of the far eastern ques- tion.
 Senators Morgan, Cullon, spooner and number Of others agreed with MT. Lodge. It was stated by some of the sneakers that if Russia had objec- tion to the treaty it had not been made apparent and on the contrary, it was said that she had openly expressed her approval of it. There was no division on the motion to ratify.

They were immediately ad- nitted and remained for two hours
 1 Intense curiosity was aroused by this act. as 1t was believed to have some re- lation to the missing wealth, and the ffwildest rumors were circulated. It soon became known however. that the bag contained 45,0OO.Ooo francs ($9,Ooo, ,OoO) iii bank notes. S'S
 X When Cardinal Gosti entered the presence Of the pope and sank to his knees, and pointing to his burden. said:
