House Passes the Lodge Resolution Providing for the Abrogation of the Old Pact with the Empire of Russia in 1882.
TREATY DIES AT
 END OF THE YEAR
There Is Much Speculation
 as to Its Effect on Trade
 with Russia and the Chances for a New Agree ment with That Country.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-COngreSs today ratified the presidents notifi- cation of the termination of the Rus sian treaty of 1892. and sent the meas ure to the president for his signature. The house disposed of it according to program. Speaker Clark signed it at 56 D. m. and Vice President Sher- man at 3:51. The senate remained in session purposely to permit him. un- der the rules, to affiX his signature while it was in session.
 The Russian reply to the notice from Ambassador Curtis Guild. Jr. that America wished to terminate the treaty of 1892 has been received by the state department Officials de- cline to publish the text of the note. but admit that the contents are we'll outlined in news dispatches from St Petersburg. Hence it is inferred the Russian foreign office made no re- sponse to Secretary Knox's invitation to embark on negotiations for a new treaty.
 It may he stated on good authority that the Russian government does not intend to be hurried in this matter but on the other hand does not expect to conclude a new convention before the existing treaty expires. December 3l, 1912. Unquestionably a modifica- tion of the terms of the original resO- lutiOn of abrOgation has been d strong factor in influencing the Russian gov ernment tO consider favOrably the framing of new treaty. Notwith- standing some expressions to the con- trary by individual senators, the weight of official opinion decidedly is in favor of the contention that with the withdrawal of the favored nation" treatment guaranteed American i'm ports into Russia by the treaty about to be terminated. the full maximum tariff rates of Russia will autOmati- caIly become effective against Ameri- can goods It is suggested, however. that Russia will continue to extend tO American imports the lower rates of its tariff on the ground that the presi dents proclamation, issued under the terms of the Payne -Aldrich tariff act allows minimum tariff rates on Rus sian goods equivalent to the most favored nation" treatment

HOPES FOR
 REDEMPTION OF PARTY
So Expressed Himself in a Speech He Delivered in New York
 Last Night.

NEW YORK. Dec 20.-President Taft left at midnight for Washington. after thirty busy hours in New York, declaring in the last of his series of addresses that one of the chief faults of this age is that the people are living too fast. During his visit here the president spoke at five dinners. laid the cornerstone of new home for the blind. did Christmas shopping and received many political leaders as callers. The president, in his speech before the New York Young Republican club. said:
 Effective reform cannot be made in two days. either inside the. party founding a new one The question for every man is, Has the party with which he is affiliated material in it to carry out his ideas for reform, or is 1t necessary to join a new party tO gain them? I still hope for the redemption of the republican party"
 Before this speech the president joined 15OO members and guests of the Auto Club of America at a ban quet at the Waldorf Astoria. and for half am hour talked in a genial vein that kept his hearers almost con stantly laughing and applauding. He took occ9sion to declare himself em- phatically against opening the na- tional treasury for building great highways. MT Taft said no doubt the government has the power. but he added: "T venture to question the wisdom of opening the national treas ury for money to use that way" The state and neighbOrhood. acting as a unit. were the proper sources to look to for both building and maintaining roads. he said

POINT WAS WON IN
 THE SHIPPING CASE
Court Overrules Demurrer lnterposed to Governments Complaint by
 Association of Ship Owners.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2O.-The full bench of the United States circuit court overruled today demurrers in- terposed by the Hamburg American steamship company and other trans
 Atlantic lines forming the Atlantic conference. against the governments suit for dissolution of the conference. The governments contention is that the conference, by reason of an al- legged pooling agreement on passenger rates. is a trust in restraint of trade, and the injunction is asked to re- strain the companies from further eX- ecutiOn of the agreement. Judge Moves said that the contention that the combination was formed in for eign country is immaterial. as it af- fected the commerce of this country and was in operation here. Defen- dants are cited to answer the govern ment'S complaint in February.

STRANGER is FAR AWAY
He Sold Lots in a Town
That Is Only a Vague
Dream.

One day last'August stranger ap-
peared on a Baraboo street corner and
sold town lots away down in Okla
homa. 1t now appears that those
lots are all dream. When he un-
folded his little scheme on thei curb
stone he said that he was giving Sthe
lots away and asked only the feeis for
recording which was $3.50. Forty-five
kind people responded to the gentle
mans invitation and purchased un-
seen property In dreamland. One of
the purchasers became interested after
the fellow left and commenced to cor
resi- ond with those who actually
know. The sharper said the town was
called Oakland City and when letter
was sent to that place the postmaster
wrote back that there was no Oakland
City in Oklahoma but there was an
Oakland. There was no paper pub
lished there as the curbstone vender
had said and the place was almost too
small TO be on the map.
The BaraboO resident bhen wrote to
the register of deeds in the county and
he comes back with the statement that
a lot there has very little il any value
no town there now and very little
prospects.
IN one day the stranger sold 45 lots
at $3.50 each, the whole amounting to
$247.5O A neat sum to carry away in
one day with but little effort. Evi-
dently the As purchasers have received
nothing for their money.
Moral-Take look at the pig before
making a purchase.

Another free-for-all, bloody battle
took place about 10 o'clock last night

about five or six men as a result of the
attack on the Belgian Monday night.
1t is said the fight commenced in one
of the corner saloons on Walnut street
and was carried on with broken beer
bott ,es knives and other weapons
bringing on bloody contest. Every
participant was more or less woun led
in the encounter, one man sustained
terrible cut on his arm, another received
deep gashes on the top OF his head, and
other slashes in the face. The foreigners
were also badly wounded as result of
cuts about their bodies and heavy
blows about their heads.
After the fight was over the Be.gians
found their way to their homes
but had scarcely dressed their wounds
and retired when they were called up
on by the whole Baraboo police force
accompanied by Mayor Thuerer and
Justice of Peace Adolph andre and
taken to the county jail.
