QUALIFICATIONS EXCHANGED.
American-chinese Treaty Now an 40,
compIished Fact.

Avnertcan-Chtnese treaty NOW an 40.
compIiahed Fact.
Washington. Jan. A.-Ratifications
OF the American-Chinese commercial
treaty were exchanged at the state de.
partment during the day by Secretary
Hay and Sir Chentung Liang Cheng,
the Chinese minister here.
The treaty provides for the opening
of the ports of Mukden and Antung,
In Manchuria, to the worlds com.
MERGE.
The treaty is now an accomplished
fact, it remaining only to proclaim It
and appoint The necessary consuls at
Mukden and Antung. The president
has selected these consuls from men
of experience already in the consular
service and consequently able to open
up the new field to trade with the least
possible delay. Their names will be
sent to the senate rs soon as congress
makes provision for their salary, which
the state department hopes will be
done speedily. 1t is regarded as very
desirable that such rights as we have
acquired in M%anchuria, as to China,
shall be fully established and asserted
in advance Of any possible war that
might affect the vast territory to the
extent of 4 change Of sovereignty.
The president has signed the proc
lamation putting into effect the treaty.
Provisions Of the Treaty.
The state department has issued a
statement covering the period of ne
gotiating the treaty and giving some
Of the conventions provisions. The
treaty removes restrictions on COM
merce and navigation in China, de-
fines rights and privileges Of diplo-
matte and consular officers and OF
American citizens, especially mission
aries. residing in China, and insures
the latter enjoyment of rights which
they have only had in the past prac-
tically by liberation. The treaty also
deals with trademarks, copyrights and
patents, ensuring them a fair degree
Of protection in CHINA thing which
they have had very little of in the
past. .
The opening of the Manchuriar
cities of MEkden and Antung to for
ci~n trade by our treaty with China,
and of Tatung Kou by the Japanese
| Chinese treaty, will, it is thought, by
the presence of foreign consular off
Gals, greatly tend to the establish
ment Of order in this disturbed border
land, and will. says the state depart
rent. powerfully contribute toward
insurtng the principles of the 'oper
door to which this country stands II
revocably committed. as well as aid
ing in insuring the integrity of China
and it's administrative control ove1
its Manchurian provinces"

christina. Night-Tired Out.

yule logs burn to an ashen char;
The joys of the day assemble
Like beams that cling to a dying star.
While a wooden soldier dreams of war
On a Christmas bough a-tremble.
Still is the voice Of the little child.
And sleep is come to capture
The painted beasts of the jungle wild
And the eyes that danced with glee and
smiled "
When the dawn awoke to rapture.
The last little bear in the picture book
His tale in the wood has spoken.
And tired eyes close on a last fond look
At the sweets and toys in niche and nook
Scattered and bent and broken.
Christmas fades from the weary eyes.
AS day to her dark and dreaming.
Blu over the Goals. in loves disguise.
Two hearts,. like stars in the shadowy
skies.
Are burning yet and beaming.
For sleep may come to the drowsy glee
And night to the love s~upernal.
But age in paternal ecstasy
And youth In the dreams of JOY to be
ARE immortal and eternal.

HARRISON ON THE STAND.
Chicago Mayor Testifies at lroquois
Theater Fire Inquest.

,4EFA INSdtSC BITC uUQOSo0 An
Chicago, Jan. 14.-Mayor Harrison
was on the stand Wednesday in the
Iroquois theater fire inquest. His evi.
dence related chiefly to a report sub
mitted to him by Building Commits
sioner Williams which declared that
non of the theaters in Chicago fully
complied with the terms of the build
ing ordinance. The mayor described
the wanderings of this report, from
him to the council. from the council
60 a subcommittee; from this com
mittee back to the council and. then
to the printer. He said no action had
been taken upon 1t by the council up
to the time Of the %Iroquois theater
fire.
The mayor declared that Building
Commissioner Williams simply re-
ported to him that there was not a
theater in the city OF Chicago comply
ing with the law, but made no recon-
mendation that they be closed or their
licenses revoked.
He corroborated the settlement of
Building Commissioner Williams that
the office of commissioner was poorly
supplied with heD because Of small
appropriations by the city.
William J. McAllister. secretary of
the building department OF Chicago,
said there was no record kept Of the
construction of any building save the
reports of the inspectors.
About a dozen Of the stage hands
and fly men employed in the theater
testified that they had never received
instructions regarding their duties in
cas- of fire.
Building Commissioner Williams
Wednesday closed sixteen more public
halls. the halls in the Grace Episco.
pal church and the Second Presby
terrain church, and a large West Side
lodging house.
