Teller and Mason Ex-
press Disapprova1--
New Portfolio.

Washington, Feb. 12.-In an execu-
tive session which lasted only an hour
ana hFE yesterday the senate. in ad-
dftion to confirming a large number of
nominations, ratified the Alaskan boun-
dairy treaty and came near taking sim
liar action on the commercial treaty
with Greece. which was reported by
CuIlom from the committee on foreign
relations. The Greek treaty was read
through by the clerk. and then CullOm
asked that the resolution of ratifica-
tion be acted Oh, but HOar objected.
He said that ne desired an opportunity
to examine the provision in the treaty
concerning consular trials. The prin-
cipal purpose of the Greek treaty is
the regulation of commerce between
Greece and the United States.
Opposition Was Not Active.
There was nO delay in securing ac-
ton on the Alaskan treaty and very
little opposition to it was manifested.
Teller said that he considered the
Alaskan boundary so well determined
as to make 1t not matter of dispute.
Therefore. while he would not delay it
he would not vote for il. Mason made
a few similar remarks. adding that he
considered the procedure proposed by
the treaty ''nOn-American." The ayes
and noes We're not called. but there
were several voices heard i'm the mega
tive when an informal expression was
called for. The ayes were so much
more numerous. however. that the de-
cisiOn of the chair to the effect that
ratification had prevailed was not chaI-
lenged.
Extract from the Treaty.
All the provisions of the Alaskan
boundary treaty except one para graph
from the French portion of the treaty

being put through from No. to No. 1

except by way of No. 3, in which the
fire was raging.
No Fresh Air for the Prisoners.
The efforts Of the firemen was direct

woodwork which lined the shaft. the
hose being run down No. l Shaft and
carried through TO the point where the
fire originated. There was ventilation

and women rushed to the mine, and
those who had relatives below were
in an agony Of fear. The mining Off
