TREATY AS PUBLIC DOCUMENT Form of the Agreement Between Spain and the United States , FIVE STEPS IN THE RATIFICATION Hovr CopIcH Arc Prepared for the In- tvrrntvd Government * Action of the Pence CoiuinlBBluu- er Not Flnnl. About the first of December will be added to the collection of Important International documents In the State department at Wash ington the treaty of. peace concluded be tween Spain and the United States at the conference to bo held In Paris about the 1st of October. This treaty will take rank in Importance and Interest with the treaties of the wars ot 1776 and 1812. nnd the Mexican war. The action of the pence commission at Paris will not be final. The treaty on which they ogrco will be subject to ratification by both countries. According to the constitu tion and laws of the United States no treaty with this country Is operative until it has gene through flve stages , of which the negotiation and signing by tbo peace commissioners Is only the first. When the peace commissioners have reached a determination the treaty as agreed to will be copied In duplicate , and each copy will be signed by all the com missioners. The copies will bo made with the pen , for the typewriter Is not recog nized in diplomacy. In the Spanish copy the Spanish commissioners will sign first , and in the American copy the Americans. The American copy will be brought back to this country by the secretary of the American commission and delivered to the secretary of state. In the State department a message for congress will be prepared. It will embody the text of the treaty. It will be written on heavy sheets of blue paper , fastened together at the top with red silk ribbon , the president will sign this message and Assistant Secretary Pruden will take It to the capltol , where the senate , gath ered In special session , will be watting to receive It. When the message has been de livered to the senate , the chairman of the committee on foreign relations will move an executive session , and behind closed doors the message will bo read. It will probably follow the usual custom and be referred to the committee on foreign rela tions. When the senate adjourns It will be delivered to a confidential messenger from the government printing office , who will carry It to the public printer , and under his personal supervision it will be put Into type by a special set of compositors. When the work Is complete and about 100 copies have been run off the forms and proofs will bo locked up In the vault. The copies will bo delivered to the secretary of the senate , who will receipt for them , number each one and deliver them to the members of tbo senate. Approval liy the Sennte. When the treaty has been approved ( or the senate has "advised and consented to Its ratification" ) , a new copy will be made and returned to the president , with the sig nature of the president of the senate ( the vice president of the United States ) , attested by the secretary of the senate. The presi dent , on receipt of notice that the senate has given Its consent , will ratify the treaty , and the State department will prepare what Is known as an exchange copy. This Is the copy which will be sent to Madrid , to bo preserved there as the permanent record of the government between the countries. Spain also will prepare an exchange copy and send It to the United States. When It was customary to use wax for the official seal ot a state document It was usual for the State department to Inclose the seal of an exchange treaty In a round silver box , having the national coat ot arms in relief. Now that wafers are used , this Is not done , and the exchange treaty we send to Spain will doubtless bo a very plain document. It will be written In English , on long sheets of bluish paper , known as treaty paper , fastened at the side with a ribbon. The president will sign It , Secretary Day's sig nature will attest that ot the president , and then the document will bo taken to the keeper of tbo seal of state. It is not enough that the keeper should recognize the signa tures of William McKlnley and William R. Day. Ho must have a signed order from the president , directed to him , before ho will make the impression of the great seal on the red wafer at one corner of the docu ment. The treaty , then complete , may be Inclosed in a box , but it will probably bo placed In a portfolio of green leather , em bossed and stamped with a gold border. The copy which the queen regent of'Spain will sign and Prime Minister Sagasta will forward to this country will differ from ours. It will bo in two languages Spanish and French and It will probably be engrossed on vellum und Inclosed In a carved or orna mented box. Almost all the exchange treaties on file In the State department are very ornate , and some arc decorated In silver and gold. gold.Tho The exchange of ratifications Is the fourth step toward tbo completion of the treaty. The fifth and final step is the proclamation ot tbo treaty by the president. The form used by tbo president Is as follows : To All to Whom These Presents Shall Come , Greeting ; Know ye , that , whereas , a convention bc- tween the United States of America nnd Spain extending for a period of years from date , the duration of the conven tion between the two high contracting tartles concerning the conclusion of the state of war between them ( or whatever form the president may choose to express this Idea ) was concluded nnd signed by their respective plenipotentiaries at Paris on the day ot , a true copy of which convention Is , word for word , as follows : Qcatlon of said convention. And whereas , the senate of the- United States , by their resolution of ( two- thirds of the senators present concurring therein ) did advise nnd consent to tbo rati fication of said convention ; Now , therefore , be It known that I , Wil liam McKlnley. president ot the United States of America , having seen and consid ered the said convention , do hereby , In pur suance of the aforesaid advice nnd consent of the senate , ratify and confirm the saino nnd every article and clause thereof. In testimony whereof I have caused the seal ot the United States of America to bo hereunto affixed. Given under my hand at Washington , the day of , in the year of our Lord States the .
