OPPOSE ALASKAN TREATY
Some Senator'S Take the Ground
There is Nothing to Arbitrats.
A Summary OF Its Tsrms-rhe Questions
TO Ne Decided By the Boundary
Line Tribuasl.

Washington. D. C.-There was some
discussion in the executive session OF
the Senate with reference to making
public the treaty recently negotiated
by Secretary Hay and Sir Michael Her.
bert FOR a settlement Of the Alaskan
boundary dispute.
Article I. Of the new treaty provides
that the boundary line tribunal shall
be Immediately appointed and shall
consist Of six impartial jurors. three
to be named by the President and three
by the British King. All questions
must receive q majority vote Of the
tribunal. Provision Is made for the
appointment Of other jurists to ill
vacancies and for officers Of the tri.
bunal. including scientific experts and
agents.
Article II. provides that q written
or printed case Of the two parties. and
other documents. correspondence d
evidence shall be submitted to the two
parties within two months Of the ex-
change Of the Publications of this
treaty. Two months afterward the
counter case may be submitted. but the
tribunal may extend the time IL 1t so
desired. Provisions also are made by
the presentation OF copies Of evidence
and arguments.
Article Ill. provides that the tribunal
shall consider In the settlement Of the
questions submitted to its decision.
the treaty between Great Britain and
Russia of 1925 and the treaty between
the United States and Russia of March
30. 1857.
1t Is provided that the first meeting
Of the boundary tribunal shall be In
London. The decision Is to be mad rs
soon as possible after the arguments
are concluded. and within three
months, unless the President or the
British King. by common accord. ex.
tends the time.
As soon rs q decision has been sent
to the contracting parties each shall
send one or more scientific experts to
lay down the boundary line In accord
ance with the decision. Should there
be n failure of the majority to agree
on any Of the points submitted, the re-
spective Governments are to be In
formed through the agents.
While there was no discussion Of the
terms Of the treaty on the floor OF the
Senate in the executive session. some
conferences among Senators were held
with reference to 1t. and the fact be-
came generally known that the agree
ment could not be accepted without op-
position. The Northwestern Senators
manifest especial opposition. taking the
ground that there Is nothing to arbi.
trate: that the terms Of the treaty OF
1925 are clear. and that II there should
chance TO be a decision against the
United States this country would not
accept the result.
