cerncd with state politics. was present-
ed by J. H. Hale of Glastonbury, and

ant- Governor: Warner for Senator:
Gates head on a charger; all this to
hurt the cities." it was also stated in
the preamble that a New Haven paper
printed a report of alleged plans of the
State Grange, as outlined by one of the
members. who it should he said says
just about what members of the far-
mere‘ alliance have been saying."
Continuing. the resolution says:
“Alid. whereas, The so-calictl promi-
nent Grange ofilclala are not now and
for many years past have not been
officials connected with the State
irange. and while we recognize the
right of t‘Vt-‘l'y patron to take part in
politics he or she may see fit, we view
with regret any attempt which would
lead the general public to believe that
the State Grunge of Connecticut. or
that any of the true patrons of has-
bandry wcrc making an organized ef-
fort to accomplish the purpose outlin~
ed in said articles.
Therefore. Be it resolved: That the

aloof from all partisan politics and
will strenuously oppose any action that
will tend to array any class of our citi-
aens against any other. The honor.
good “limp and prosperity of good old
stale of Connecticut are of more con.
sequence than any individual or class
interest and w;- hereby pledge our al-
legiance to it."
After the adoption of the resolution.
Dr. ticorgc Austin Bowen, of Wood-
stock. who was mentioned in the arti-
cles referred to. ndreased the Grange.
He said emphatically that he was not
a candidate for- any political ofllce in

place on the state ticket nominated by
the Republican party if it should he of-
fered to him.

The treaty is now an accomplished
fact; it remains .only to proclaim it
and appoint the necessary consuls at
Mukden and Among. The President
has selected these consuls from men
of experience already in the consular
service. Their names will be sent to
the Senate as soon as Congress makes
provision for their salary it In regard-
ed as very desirable that such rights as
asserted in advance of any possible war
that might affect that vast territory to
the extent of a change of sovereignty.
The ceremony of exchange took
place at the State Department. Ev-
erything had been arranged. and ..)lr
that the Chinese government had plac-
ed an exchange copy of the treaty in

Secretary Hay and the Chinese min-

the protocol reciting the fact that rati-
'Ilcatlon had been exchanged. The
Chinese minister will be given a copy
of the treaty by the State Department.
which he will forward to his governs-
ment for deposit in the imperial ar-
