moving tho chief obstaclo to progress.
On tho Alaska commission tho com

tnd It mado no report on the progress
as to othor questions because of in
ability to includo this question. Slnco
then, however, a modus vlvondl on
Alaska haa been ngrcod upon, and
whllo UiIb lacka permanency It Is folt
that tho question can bo best loft to
direct negotiations botwecn tho two
governments, thus permitting tho com
mission to proceed with tho many
other important questions involvorl.

this particular will depend upon tho
conferences now going on. Tho pur
poso of tho commission Is to frame a
now treaty between tho Unitod State
