ACTION ON TREATIES.
Favorable Report on 4iaskan Con-
Uention and Cubun Protocol.
[RY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBUNE.]


Washington Jan. 30.-The Alaskan boundary
treaty and the recently negotiated protocol ex-
tending the time for the ratification of the
Cuban treaty to March 81 were ordered favor
ably reported by the Foreign Relations Com
mittee at its meeting this morning.
The remaining time of the committee was oc-
cupied by Senator Morgan. who spoke in favor
of his resolution calling for DR.. Herrans creden-
tials. With the exception of Senator Morgan
the committee was unanimously in favor or re-
porting the Colombian treaty to the Senate ana
permitting the Morgan resolution TO lie on the
table The long argument of the Alabama
Senator prevented vote being reached, and IL
was determined to hold another meeting to-
morrow when the committee will remain IN
session as long as Mr.. Morgan desires TO SPEAK
on the subject. The fear is expressed that Sena-
tor Morgan will attempt to talk the Colombian
treaty to death when it comes up on the floor Oh
the Senate, but as he appears to have no sup
porters it is not believed that he will be sue
cessful.
attending the Statehood bill also the oc-
casion of apprehension to the friends of all the
treaties now before the Senate, and the oellel
that an extra session of the Senate will pe
necessary for their consideration is gaining

PRESS CURRENCY Plan.
administration TO Take Further
fiction ON Merican- Chinese Scheme.
CBy The Associated Press)

(By The Associated PressD
Washington, jan 30-The executive branch OF
the government is not disposed to cease us
efforts to bring about an adj Sstment OF the
ratio Of gold and silver currency in the orient
and in other silver using countries with the
mere presentation to Congress of the Mexican
and Chinese notes yesterday. Secretary hoot'
who is opposed to the amended Philippine Cur
rency bill, is particularly urgent in seeking "
remedy the evil financial conditions IN the
Philippines caused in large part by fuctuatlng
currency ratios. while Secretary Hay is inter-
ested in the proposition because he beheVes 1t
promises to alleviate at once the friction no"
existing a result of the Chinese Indemnify
question The Secretary also is looking toward
an enlargement of American trade in South ana
Central America, where silver is still the stan
dard of value. Therefore the proposition Will
be laid before Congress TO appoint commission
of three members, expert in financial mat
ters, to act representatives of the ohlteu
States in an international monetary conference
the lines indicated by Mexico and emma OF
in consultation directly, or, in fact in any hne
of international exchange that promises success.
Very little legislative action is required at TINS
stage, and it is probable that an appropriation
of $1,000 for the expenses of each commissioner
will meet the needs of the State Department at
this time It is made plain that the comnlls-
sion will have no power to commit the Ohlteo
States Government to any change in It's cur
rency system. and nothing be made or It's
conclusions unless Congress regards them Win
favor.
The Mexican Ambassador, Sefor de Approx
called at the State Department to-day ana eA-
pressed to Secretary Hay. and through MIN 10
the President his warmest thanks for the able
manner in which the communications OF Mexico
and China were presented to Congress yes
terday.
At the Cabinet meeting to-day some consid-
Grafton was given to the Philippine !eglslauoh
pending before Congress. Secretary ROOT was
in conference with the President for a CONSIDER
able time before the meeting in regard 70 It.
While it is recognized that the legislative situA-
ton at the capital is complicated by the State-
hood contest, the hope is expressed by oHclals
Of the administration that the important leglsid-
ton demanded at this time may be enacted
1t was said tonight that the initiative in the
movement for & new currency Standaro was
taken by Mexico, and not China. Inc lnNltalon
to enter the movement was sent by the Mexican
Government to China.
