Washington. Feb. 12.-In an execu-
tive session which lasted only an hour
and half yesterday. the senate, in
add ton to onaiming 4 large mum Der
OF nominations. ratified the Alaskan
boundary treaty and came near taking
similar action on the commercial
treaty with Greece. which was reported
by Senator Cullom yesterday from the
committee on foreign relations.
There was no delay in securing ac-
ton OF the Alaskan treaty, and very
little opposition TO il was manifested.
Senator Teller said that he considered
the Alaskan boundary so well deter
mined IS TO make it not a matter OF
dispute. Therefore. while he would
not delay II. he would not vote for It.
Senator Mason made few similar re-
marks. adding that he considered the
procedure proposed by the treaty non
American. The ayes and noes were not
called. but there We're several voices
heard i'm the negative when an infor-
nal expression was called for. The
ayes We're so much more numerous.
however. that the decision OF the chair
to the effect that ratification had pre-
vailed was not challenged.
All the provisions of the Alaskan
boundary treaty except one paragraph
from the French were adopted.
The Greek treaty was read through
by the clerk. and then Senator CulIom
asked that the resolution of ratification
be acted on, but Senator Hoar. OF Mas
sachusetts. objected He said that he
desired an opportunity 10 examine the
provision Of the treaty concerning con-
suiar trials. He explained that he had
no objection to the general purport of
the treaty. but said that as the provis-
lon was read il seemed to him TO be
loosely drawn. and he wanted an op-
portunity to read il carefully before
giving his assent to IL. The principal
purpose OF the Greek treaty is the reg
ulation of commerce between Greece
and the United States.

conference report on the department
