New York, Dec 6--Abrogation OF the
United States and Russia made in 1892,
when Nicholas ! was Emperor of Russia
and James Buchanan was American min
lister to St. Petersburg, was urged In
speeches delivered by a dozen or more
men OF national prominence and in reso-
lutions adopted at a large mass meeting
held in Carnegie hall tonight The meet
ing was under the auspices of the national
citizens committee which plans a series
of similar demonstrations throughout the
country during the next month in protest
against discrimination by Russia in her
refusal for many years to honor the pass
ports of JewishAmerican citizens.
AS means to break the 30 years dead
lock in diplomacy over the passport ques-
ton. most of the speakers tonight advo-
Gated the immediate notice to Russia OF
the abrogation Of the lonC-standing
treaty. the terms of which they declared
to have been violated by Russia's atti-

Andrew -. White, former L. g. anfbas-
sador to Russia, was chairman of the
meeting and in his address dwet at

States and Russia. He was one of but
few speakers who strongly urged that
,, Russia he invited to arbitrate the ques-

was made to abrogate the treaty. He de-

demands would lead. as they always do
