TRZATY IN FORCE,
Announcement of Ratification of the
Agreement.
WASHINGTON. — Kntifications of
i the Amerlcau-Chinese commercial
(treaty were exchanged at the state
department Wednesday by Secretary
Hay and Sir Chen Tung Liang Cheng,
the Chinese minister here. The treaty
provide# for the opening of the porta
of Mukden and Antung. in Man
churia, tj the world’s commerce.
The treaty is now an accomplished
fact, the president having signed the
proclamation as required by law. The
president lias selected men as consuls
at Mukden aud Antung from men of
experience already in the consular
service and consequently able to open
up the now field to trade with the least
possible delay. Their names will be
sent, to the senate as soon as congress
makes provision for their salary,
which the state department hopes will
be done speedily. It is regarded as
very desirable that such rights as we
have acquired in Manchuria as to
China shall be fully established and
asserted in advance of any possible
war that might affect that territory
to the extent of a change of sover
eignty.
The ceremony of exchange took
place at the state department by ap
pointment at 11 o'clock. The Chineso
minister was accompanied by his sec
retary. Everything had been arrang
ed and Mr. Conger had notified the de
partment that the Chinese govern
ment had placed an exchange copy of
the treaty in his hands. This is held
to be equivalent to the delivery of
the document to the United States
government a3 required by the treaty
iself. so Secretary Hay aud the Chi
nese minister joined in the signature
of the protocol reciting ihe fact
that ratifications had been exchanged.
The Chinese minister will be given a
copy of the treaty by the state depart
ment. which he will forward to his
•government for deposit in the im
perial archives in Peking and when
Mr. Conner’s copy reaches Washing
ton it will he placed in the state de
partment library.

National Committee Selects World's
Fair City.
WASHINGTON. — The democratic

nished a surprise, selecting St. Louis
as the place for the national conven
tion of 1904. The date fixed for the
convention was July G, at 11 o’clock.
Previous to the meeting of the com
mittee it seemed a foregone conclusion
that Chicago would be selected as the
place of meeting, but political exi
gencies entered into the situation and
a majority of the committee voted for
St. Louis.
For soma hours previous to the
meettiug of the committee there was
talk in the coiridors and among the
democratic leaders that the conven
tion in Chicago might find a strong
newspaper inllueuce in favor of some
particular candidate. Mr. Knapp of
the St. Louis Republic hinted at this
in his speech, by saying tha the con
vention. if held at St. Louis, would bo
welcomed by an absolutely fair press.
The committee meeting covered con
siderable discussion of politics and the
claims of various candidates were ad
vocated by their partisans, tint nothing
like favoring any candidate appeared
in the committee proceedings.
WILL CLOSE UP ALL CHICAGO
What Building Commissioner Says of
the Ordinance.
CHICAGO.—Seventeen halls were

compliance with city ordinances was
the reason assigned.
Commissioner Williams said: "The
building ordinance is to be enforced
to the last letter. 1 believe that it
will practically close up all Chicago
to enforce the law, but nevertheless
we are going to do it. Factories,
churches, schools, hospitals ami busi
ness establishments will all come un
der the ban of the building law if the
ordinance provisions are insisted upon.
Mayor Harrison has known that, as
well as I and lias told the council so.
But the law is now being enforced
as fast as inspectors can discover vio
lations and such will be the rule from
this time on."
