Despite the advice of certiin re- can leaders in the house thot the ower branch of conzress pe consid- ered in the matter, President Taft is ; said tonight to be determircd to ig- ! nore the house entirely in his further Gealing with the Russian situation. Russia Probably Notified. Sexate leaders expect to hear to- morrow that through American Am- Tassador Guild at St. Petershurg the { yresident has already notified Russia ©f the impending abrogation of the treats. Thus notice is believed to-have been couched in the politest of diplo- matic lansauge and to have stated that the American people have come to re- !gard the treaty as obsolete in many provisicns. The _expiration of the treaty is fixed for January 1, 1913. Can Abrogats Treaty Himself. The president is sald to nave takenm the ground that if he chooses he can abrogate the ireaty by executive de- cree without waiting fcr, or taking into consideration, any _possible action either by-the house or the senate.

In many of his speeches in sup- | port of the arbitration treaties with Great Britain and France, President Taft has expressed the view (hat each country has a right to say who shall and who shall not enter her domain. Have Arbitrary Right exclaimed Mr. Taft on one occasion, “we could exclude all red- headed men from the United States if we wanted to. Of course, we don't want to, for red-headed men make miehty good ecitfzens. I merely cite /this as an example of the arbitrary international law vests in each try. The question of immigration domestic one.” Diplomatic Selution of Problem. It is generally believed tonight that the senate will solve the problem to- morrow by adopting a resolution of sbrogation, couched in strictly formai language. Before this can be brought about, however, lively sessions of the foreign relations committee and the senate Itself are expected. The com- mittee will meet at 11 a m. and the senate at two o’ciock. NO FORMAL PROTEST. Russicn Foreign Office Declares That | None Has Been Male. St. Petersburg, Dec. 15—The Russian foreign office declares that M. Bakhm- eteff, the Russian ambassador at Washington, has made no formal pro test against the abrogation of the Rus- so-American treaty of 1882. The semi- official Rossia prints a signed article by the editor, who declares against re strictive laws and dn favor of the abo- lition of the pale. "m—gov?mm Russians,” he says, “cannot_confine themselves to attacks upon and blind hatred for the Jews, nor senselessly repeat the saying, ‘The Jews will ruin Russia. “The solution of the question, which is the most important question now facing the government of Russia, can- not be deferred eternally. We cannot leave millions of peovle to roast in their own julce. The pale is a low economical state, dreadful in its sani- tacy condition. If Russia has too many Jews she must assist in their emigra- tion, but the possibility of emigrating 1s restricted by measures adopted by the Britieh and American governments and would be further diminished by the abrogation of the treaty of 1832."
