 MESSAGE DISCUSSED
Legislative Proposal to Provide for Tariff War Applicable to United States Introduced in Duma
 By Guchkoff

St. Petersburg. December 22-The province of foreign affairs lies outside the competence of the duma. and treaties are not subject to it's approval. nor is the minister of foreign affairs answerable to the duma on the state of foreign relations. was decision rendered today.
 The dums, however, exercises through the benign influence of the chamber of the empire. auxiliary forces. The Russian America treaty situation was discussed with the message of the President of the United States.

Terms Delivered in November

London, December 22.-The terms to which Persia has acceded were deliv- cred November 29 by Russia. It de- manded besides the dismissal of MT. Shuster an apology from the Persian government on account of its inter- ference with the property of Persians under Russia protection and also the payment of an indemnity to Russia for the expenditure she had incurred in, sending troops on to Persian terri tory.
 Washington. December 22.-Who will pay Morgan Shuster's salary as treas urer general for the remaining three years his contract with the Persian government has to run, is an inter esting question in connection with the reported acceptance by Persia of Rus sia's ultimatum. If acquiescence re- suits in destruction of Persia's inde- pendence that country might represent that Russia was responsible for pay ment of the sum named in the contract and then would arise the question of how far the United States would be able to go to enforce a contract be- tween an American citizen and a for eign country.

Article VII


 The abrogation of the treaty and it's ramiications has a direct connection with the annual Russian agitation of the oc- toberists conducted for the readmssion of Jewish-Amelican citlzens. Article KIT of the treaty establishes the mutual rights of entry but is ambiguous in it's stipula ton of the observance of the laws. Deem- ing in spite of this stipulation that the enforcement of the general Russian laws in regard to foreigners of the Jewish re- ligion, especially in the case of American Jewish citizens, constitutes an infringe ment of tho treaty, the House of Repre- sentatiyes voted resolution for its abro- gation.
 There cannot be any doubt that this view is unfounded," says all official. and the representatives abroad are allowed only to follow the law of the passport statutes. The following excerpts declare:
 ' The admission or non-admlssion into Russia of categories of foreigners belong to the province of internal legislation upon the general principles of international law as well as on the strength of the articles citated in the treaty of 1s32'
 Thus the United States has enacted very strict regulations, seriously limiting the rights of foreigners itself, and there is little doubt the federal government would ward off any attempt to dispute the legality of the imperial regulations from an international point of view"
 The declaration then quotes textuaIy article of the federal immigration law of February % 1907. and continues
 '1f we take into consideration also that the American law imposes a head tax on the whole line of the foreigners seeking American shores it becomes clear how stern are the restriutiohs to which Russians arriving in Amer ica are subjected. We do not ques- ton the right to apply any immigra- tion laws which are dictated by req sons of organic laws, but we must note for the reason the motive for the ab- rogation of the treaty of 1892, adduced in the resolution of the House of Rep resentatives, is otherwise unfounded"
 M. Guchkoff's proposal bearing 114 signatures was laid on the table of the duma. The house at once voted to sub- init the bill to the financial commit tee. The signatories include October ists, Nationalists, members of the ex- treme right and also the ultra progress sives

St. Petersburg, December 22.-The Persian charge called personally at the foreign office this afternoon and an- nounced that Persia had yielded to Russa's demands. In an audience with the foreign secretary he formally de- clared that Persia would concede all points in the Russian ultimatum.

May Mean Tariff War

St Petersburg, December 22-A leg islative proposal to. provide for tariff war applicable to the United States at the expiration of the Russo-Amer- ican treaty of commerce and naviga- ton of 1S32, has been introduced in the duma by exPresident Guchkoff and other signers representing the October ists and Nationalist parties which con trol the majority of the duma.
 The bill proposes to raise duties 100 per cent and impose duty of 100 per cent on articles which are admitted free under the present Russian tariff Besides these impositions the bill pro- poses also to levy double the gross weight tax established by the law of June 21, 1901, on mercantile arriving by sea, and to levy a double tonnage tax.
 Should the present American tonnage tax be raised to the disfavor of Rus- sian vessels the Russian tonnage tax will then be correspondingly increased
 It is said that the schedules are to be applicable to all countries which do not grant to Russia the most favored nation treatment in commerce and navi- gation.
 The proposal will be submitted to a financial commission. Necessity for the proposed Legislation is explained in an accompanying declaration in which it Is stated that the regular American tariff schedules which will be applica? ble to Russian goods at the expiration of the treaty of commerce and naviga- tion of 1882, will be so high as to have a prohibitive nature and that they greatly exceed the Russian normal tariff and navigation taxes, which would be, however. applicable to Amer ican goods in the absence of the treaty.
