NO HOPE OF NEW RUSSIAN TREATY Visits of Bakhmsteff to State Department Cause Rumors of Agreement. The visits of Ambassador Bakhmeteff, of Russia, to Secretary Knox's office dur ing the last two days, yesterday gave rise to reports that an agreement bad been reached between the United States and Russia affording basis for a new treaty or at least a modus Vivendi following the expiration- of the- treaty of 1SS on Jauu-. am next, -v ,- - . tf i Th'rwrct1ist-aff-uKKTWrrtrt ha ..(.. ,ChAi .& rteara to a trtat mt witn sweeping denials upon the part or the very highest authorities In the United States government Not only was It de nied that any agreement had been reached, but it was admitted that the Taft admin istration bad about given up all hope of breaking the deadlock with Russia oer the Hebrew passport question. The con clusion has been reached that there can be no agreement with Russia, which wilt satisfy the demands of the Sulzer resolu tion, which was chiefly responsible for the President giving notice last year cf the abrogation of the treaty of IKE. While all effort has not been abandoned, and the Washington government clings to the hope that some unforseen event mi) give a new and favorable turn to the situation. It Is now admitted that the Russian treaty problem will Inevitably be passed on as a legacy to the Wilson administration and the Democratic party. It was learned last night howe er. that the two governments are about to agree upon a 'modus Vivendi which will main tain the status quo during the two months of the Taft administration fol lowing January 1. the date of the ex piration of the treaty. The effect of this will be simply to continue the commercial rights and prH 1- leges between the two countries as they now exist under the treaty until the new administration has an opportunity to take up the problem with Russia. It Is be lieved that notes will be exchanged be tween the two governments on this sub ject This move will amount to an ac knowledgement that the Department of State and Russia have been unable to agree on a treaty. linlted States Raise Inane. It Is almost universally recognized In Washington that the Untted States, In abrogating the treaty of ISC because of the Jewish passport Issue, has raised an issue which Russia cannot meet European diplomats in Washington, who are watching with much Interest the Russian-American treaty situation, have from the very first declared that Russia cannot yield her righ.t to treat all Her brews, wnetber Americans or of other nationalities, exactly as she treats those within her own borders. The Taft ad ministration has 'recognized that the Russian government' Is not a freo agent In the matter, being-compelled to respect the i tremendous national sentiment against removing any of the restrictions upon Hebrews In, Russia.
