TRADE TREATY WITH RUSSIA.
Movement Initiated by Russian En-
bassY About Two Months Ago.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Relatiye to the
statement attributed to Count Muravieff,
the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs.
that the propliety of remodelling the
trade treaty of 1882 between the United
States and Russia was now under con-
sidelation, it is learned that about two
months ago this movement was lIm
tiated by the Russian Embassy here. The
success of the French Government an
negotiating reciprocity treaty was prob
ably the incentive to the Russian move.
The indications of rather formidable
opposition to the approval by the Senate
Of the French reciprocity treaty, has
given sone concern to the officials OF
the State Department who have had
much to do with its negotiation. This
treaty was perfected with the greatest
difficulty, and was in itself regarded as
the means of restoring the good will
and cordiality between the United States
and France which had undergone Sc
we're strain during the last two years.
Its failure now, it is said, at the State
Department, would be most unfortunate
and the officials are prepared to show to
the Senate by statistics that the United
States has secured all of the advantages
from a purely economic point Of view
that could be expected, having regard
TO fair treatment of France.

Meanwhile Democratic Leaders Say GOebeI
Won't Contest Before the Leg'sIst re if the
Election Board Refuses its Certificate.

Frankfort, Ky. Nov. 25.-The Demo-
cratic leaders now assert that Goebel
will not contest before the Legislature,
if he is not given the certificate of cleo
ton by the State Election Board which
will convene here next Saturday. Tay-
loT's managers are dubious on this point,
as the statement that he would not
contest has never been made by Goebel
himself
Yesterday WAS the last day under
which contests could be filed against the
Republican members-elect to the Legis-
lature and the fact that about ten con-
tests were filed against members of
the House and three in the Senate is re-
garded as an indication that the Demo-
Gratis are doing this as a precautionary
measure to secure safe majority in
both houses in the event contest is
determined on. Senator Goebel was
reinforced today by the arrival OF nearly
all the candidates on his ticket, Chair
man Smith of the State Central Com
mittee and others, who will be here till
the fight ends information here is that
several thousand people from out the
State will he here at the meeting of

said that the State War Department
was never 50 fully equipped with shoot
ing material. The Governor himself
absolutely refuses to disclose his posi-
ton, but the movements of Adjutant
General Collier, which are supposed to
be under his direction, indicate that he
is preparing to take some kind of Wig
orous action and the prospects for trou-
bic seem to be growing as the day Of
