at the seventh floor receiving passsen-

"OPEN DOOR" IN CHINA
Ra1ifications of the CONNER.
cial Treaty Exchanged
in Washington

Washington, January 13.-Ratifica.
mercial treaty were exchanged at the
state department today by Secretary
Hay and Sir Chentung Liang-Cheng,
the Chinese minister here. The treaty
provides for the opening of the ports
of Mokden and Antung, in Manchuria,
to the worlds commerce. The Presi-
dent today signed the proclamation
putting into effect the treaty.
The following statement was issued
by the state department regarding the
treaty:
Although relating in it's principal
provisions to questions of commerce
Of navigation. removing restrictions
which have hampered them both in
China. it also treats of q number Of
question of great Importance to the
people of the two countries. For ex-
ample it defines the rights and priv
ilegeS of the diplomatic and consular
officers and Of American citizens, es-
pecially missionaries residing in China
and inSures the latter enjoyment OF
rights which they have only had in
the past practically by liberation. The
treaty also deals with trade marks,
a fair degree of protection in China
"a thing which they have had very
little of in the past.
Perhaps the provision of the treaty
which interests most the public, is
the opening of two new localities in
Manchuria to foreign trade-the city
of Mukden and the town of Antung
on the Yalu river. 1t is to be noted
in this connection that the Japanese
Chinese treaty, the ratificationS of
which were exchanged yesterday at
Pekin, secures also to international
trade the opening of the port of Ia
tung Kou, about 13 miles below An
tung and at the mouth Of the Yalu.
1t is highly probable that the pres
ence in these localities at an early
date Of American consular officers
and those of other nationalities-for
all the nations having treaties with
China acquire by our treaty and that
with Japan, the right to esta blish
consulates at these places-will great
ly tend to the establishment of order
in this much disturbed borderland of
China, and will powerfully contrib
ute toward insuring the principles of
the open door to which this country
stands irrevocably committed, as we'll

Greensboro. n c.. January ia
fire in 5-story brick building tonight
owned by w. E. Bevill opposite the
city hall. damaged the building to the
extent of five thousand dollars. which
is covered by insurance. The plumb
ing stock Of J. Ed Albright was DAM
aged to the extent Of loss of $780, the
stock Of groceries Of Charles E. Pugh
to the extent Of $500 with insurance
of $500, J. J. Stone Printing Com
pany. $4,000. fully insured. Boyles and
Mitchell. window shade factory, $500,
insured for $500. A large amount of
the insurance is carried by the Green's
fboro home companies. Two larg.
printing presses Of the Stone Company
valued at $1,000 were saved by pre-
venting the fire from reaching the
upper story of the burning end of the
building they were ON. The bindery
and other machines were totally d.
stroyed
The fire was caused by a boy in the
plumbing establishment on the first
floor. in looking for something with a
lighted candle, setting fire to oakUm
hanging on the wall which ignited like
powder and communicated to a pile OF
hay near the elevator shaft. the flames
shooting up the shaft to the fifth story
metal roof, being impossible to reach.
Another fire near the McAdoo Hotel
burned the stables belonging to John
Dick. The loss $500.

published Fairbrother's Everything,

Is not known to what extent matter
is damaged but the delay OF the issue
will not be more than five days at the
furtherest, possibly not three days.
Stone will at once equip an office IN
another building not discharging his
force Of 35 workmen, unless for lay
off OF a day or more.
Bevill will rebuilt as soon as the in
surance is adjusted. The walls of the
building apparently are not damaged.
The water pressure was deficient, fire
being in fifth story, which occas;oned
great alarm for awhile. When the
roof burst out. after two hours OF
hard fighting. amid a furious fall OF
snow. the scene was magnificent be-
yond description. The work of the
firemen in saving that part of the
second story containing expensive
presses of the Stone Company was
splendid. The occupant OF one store,
with a large stock OF groceries had

wYNNE ON THE STAND.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Gives Evidence in the Postal Fraud
Cases.

Washington, January 13.-Robert
general was the central figure IN the
postal trial today, and when court ad-
journed until Friday he was still OF
the stand. Mr.. Wynne's testimony oc-
cupied most of the day and he was
subjected to a rigid cross-examina-
ton by Charles Dougless. counsel for
the defense, during which the op-
posing attorneys had several tilts nee
essitating a word of admonition from
Justice Pritchard that they must con-
duct the case in peace.
The first assistant postmaster gen.
eraf was asked questions designed TO
test his knowledge of the duties of
his office. The witness frankly stated
that ne had often signed papers pre-
pared in Machen's division without
examining into their contents, because
they came to him in official form and
because of the fact that he regarded
Machen as one of the most expert
men in the service and relied upon
him as to the correctness of his acts.
Did you know that iMr. Machen
knew his business" Mr.. Wynne was
asked.
Il knew that Mr.. Machen knew
what he was doing" was the reply.
Did he know that you knew your
business" DIR. Douglass next in
quired.
He knows il now," was the quick
retort. and the court crier was COM
PEELED TO rap for order.
Counsel read a letter signed by Mr..
Wynne and dated as late as January
1903, addressed to the Groffs, order
ing 100 fasteners at $1.25 each, but
Mr.. Wynne said that an order for that
number probably would not arrest his
attention.
John ]. Howley, Mr.. Wynne's chief
clerk, occupied the stand for a brief
time, the principal part of his testi-
mony relating to the fact that he
suggested to his superior officer the
advisability of examining into the
legality of Machen's initials and sigma
ture placed on letters and acquisitions
by Machen's subordinates.
