EQUAL TO THE OCCASION.

The Rev F. w. Sanford. the leader Of the
Holy Ghosters sect at Shiloh, Ne. likes to tell
q story of a Presbyterian minister whom he used
to know.
This minister" Mr.. Sanford will begin, was
making a little tour of Maine. preaching each
Sunday in a different church. 1t happened that
on one particular Sunday. having idled through
the week, he had no new discourse prepared.
This however, did not bother him Would he
not be among strange people?

the pulpit, he saw a great number Of last Sun

There were deacons and elders and all manner

them nightly. What was he to do? Like

Civil Service Commission, was a student of the
University of Pennsylvania in 1868 and 1864,
and old Pennsylvania man said of him the
other day:
Proctor was a great walker in his college
days. He liked nothing better than to set out
early frosty morning and TO walk twenty
five or thirty miles through the country. He
would start alone, as a rule. but il he fell In

plodded along together a matter of six or seven
miles They stopped and read each milestone,
as walkers always do, and Proctor said:

ALASKAN TREATY MEETS OPPOSITION.
Senate Leaders Said to Have Told the Presi-
dent It Cannot be Ratified.
CRy The Associated Press.)

Washington. Feb. Sin the last two days Presi-
dent Roosevelt has had several conferences with
prominent Senators concerning the status of the
Alaskan boundary treaty, and has been informed
that its opponents will not permit it to be ratified
This information conveyed by Republican lead
of the Senate who told him that in their opinion
it would be useless to press consideration of the
treaty further at this session. as, it was known
that several Northwestern Senators were unalter-
ably opposed to it and would use their utmost
power to defeat ratification Indeed, some of those
who have conferred with the President expressed
grave doubts to the desrability of raufying
the treaty, the opposition to it was not con-
fined to the Northwest, but already had extended
into the Middle West.
At of these conferences Secretary Hay. who
acted for the United States in the negotiation OF
the treaty, sent for by the President and the
whole subject considered thoroughly 1t was
indicated to the President and Secretary Hay that
the active opponents Of the treaty maintained that
there nothing in the boundary question to arbt-
trate. and therefore they would not consider its
reference to commission, as provided IN the
treaty. In view of the situation presented by
the Senate leaders it is understood that the Presi
dent and Secretary Hay practically have aDan-
doned hope for ratification of the treaty If II
should not be ratified the modus vivendi previously
agreed upon by Great Britain and the United States
will force until displaced by some perma-
rent arrangement In presenting the treaty to the
Senate the administration. it is understood. has

EXTRA SEN4TE SESSION.
Regarded as Necessary TOR Action
on Treaties.
Try TELEGRAPH 10 THE TRIBUNE. ]

TO TRIBUNE-J
Washington Feb. 5.-An extra session or the
Senate for the purpose of ratifying the Cuban.
Colombian and Alaskan treaties is coming to
be regarded as inevitable. At the present time
Senator Quay is unwilling to yield for an
executive session of sufficient length to permit
proper consideration of any of the treaties now
before the Senate, and even with Statehood
compromise effected it is doubtful if time
enough will remain for consideration of these
important conventions.
There is disposition the part of certain
Democrats to oppose the Cuban treaty, and
while there is no doubt that majority of the
Senate will vote for it's ratification it is doubt
full if it can be accomplished without consid-
cradle debate.
Senator Morgan insists that in its present
form the Colombian treaty is incompetent and
requires considerable amendment. In the words
of a Republican Senator 'Mr. Morgans amend
ments are as numerous leaves in the
spring. At all events, the Senator from Ala
bama will debate the convention at length, and
thus render ample time for consideration all
the more imperative
Senator Turner and several other Democrats
opposed to the Alaskan treaty, and while
those Senators who have given the convention
careful study convinced that they can dis
all objections 1t also will call for con-
siderable debate.
Under these circumstances extra session
of the Senate is now regarded almost in
eVitable.
