O. D*c. »L— With Secretary of State Knox a* the only wltnea*, President Taft at 10:17 a. m. today signed the joint resolu tion passed by congress ratifying his action in Serving notice on Russia of the abrogation of the treaty of 1831 with that country. The treaty auto matically will continue in effect until January 1. 1913. In the meantime ef forts will be made to negotiate a new pact eliminating the cause of friction, which led to the termination of the old one.

Upon his return from New York this morning President Taft imme diately Inquired If the Russian bill was ready for his signature. It had been signed by Vice President Sher man and Speaker Clark last night. President Taft affixed his signature as soon ns he reached his desk in the executive offices and the last step of the abrogation proceedings had been taken. LITTLE INTEREST IN RUSSIA. Papers as a Role Ignore the Entire Subject of tlie Treaty. :<BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS) ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 21. —Rus- sian newspapers are giving small at- OPEN EVENINGS tentinn to the Runao-Americgn rela tion*. About the only article pub lished on thia aubject la an interview with M. Tlmlrlaieff, former minister of commerce In the Witte cabinet. Who han taken a leading part In de veloping Atiglo-R uaslan Commercial realtlona. He declarca that th* traaty of 1132 la old-fashioned and primi tive, the principle of the moot fa vored nation being obscurely formu lated therein. Commercial treaties, however, he adds, pursue solely econ omic object*, never political object*. If the Jewish question served aa the reason for the abrogation of the treaty, the United Stale* will marccly gain Ita point in a new treaty. Cannot Change Fnllcj. "We cannot change our Interna tional legislation." say* M. Tlmiri*- seff. "to please the United States." in the former minister's opinion, the matter will not come to a tariff wuP. "Under the circumstance*," con tlnucs M. Thnlrfaxeff. "the American government's step I* not clear ano scarcely piudent. Had economic rela tions may help to disturb good politi* cal relations. The traditional frlena shlp between Russia and the United State* is now at stake needlessly. Rus sia is dependent upon the United States only for raw cotton. She Im ports half her supply from that coun try and grows the other half In Tur kestan. The government's attention should be occupied without delay with thia queatlon and extensive Irrigation credits should be voted bv the duma." Ignore the Subject. The Moscow newspapers Ignore the subject completely. A tew dispatches from London and one or two BMh letters from occasional correspond ents In America represent the sum total printed on the treaty question. It would appear ns if the situation In Ihe United States arose too abruptly and developed too suddenly to permit the Russian public to get Interested In it. . Apart from the lack of Interest and the unconcern which characterise the present Russian attitude it must be said that real apprcclutiqn and ad miration have been expressed in offi cial circles for the decisive manner in which President Taft disposed of the matter, which might have led to un desirable complications. It is admit ted that In addition to maintaining the best traditions of tactful diplo macy. President Taft has done a serv ice for the cause of Russo-Americun relations. Notwithstanding the possibility of the future diplomatic and political circles appear to regard the Incident as ended, at least for the present. Orioles Meeting Friday Night.
