are fully aware of the present helpless
ness Of the Peking government. with
this i'm mind the rebel army at Nanking
may insist upon the refusal Of Yuan Shih-
kai's proposal and the immediate resump-
tion Of military activity
The conference which was held here on
December a between the members Of the
Japanese Cabinet and number of the
Elder Statesmen decided that in the event
of the Chinese rebels insisting on the
foundation of a republic Japan would
place no obstacle in the way. This plan
is considered here as best calculated to
maintain the territorial integrity of China.

Spoken of as Successor.

Teheran Dec. 27-W Morgan Shuster is
still awaiting the nomination of a sue
cessor 10 whom he can hand over the
functions Of Treasurer General.
The populace which holds Mr.. Shuster I'm
great esteem, Is much incensed against the
Cabinet owing TO its action in dismissing
him Many written protests have been
sent to the authorities.
II is understood that the Regent and
Cabinet desire the appointment of the Amer
lean, f. Il. Cairns, the principal assistant
of Mr.. Shuster, as the new Treasurer Cen
eral of Persia IT is more likely, however,
that NJ. Mornard, the Belgian eX-Director
of Customs i'm Persia. who some months
ago made himself prominent by his hostil-
ity TO Mr.. Shuster, will secure the position
Persia reply to the Russian utimatum

The Persian government. in view of the
strong desire always to maintain cordial
relations with Great Britain and Russia,
will I'm the future be careful when engag-
ing foreign officers for the reorganization
of departments Of state that an appoint
ment be not made in way which would
be likely TO injure the lawful interests Of
the two governments in Persia. To this
end the Persian government will before
hand exchange views with the British and
Russian legations at Teheran."

DOUMA BILL HITS AT j. s.
Russian Proposal Would Bar All
American Jews.
RAISES DUTIES 100 PER CENT
Washington, Undismayed, Looks
for Two Treaties to Replace Alb
rogated Compact of 1882.

ST. Petersburg, Dec. IA supplement-
airy legislative proposal OF a frankly pro-
hibitive character was introduced by tho
Nationaists into the Douma to-day II is
aimed directly at the United States.
According to the terms Of the proposed
enactment, American citizens of the Jewish
religion are to be totally excluded from
Russia and customs duties are to be raised
by 100 per cent unless the Russian normal
schedule is lower than the American. In
that case a duty equalling the American
duty will he collected The author Of the
bill states that the last provision is neces-
ssry in order to deal with the import OF
American agricultural machinery.
The remaining points OF the proposed bill
correspond in virtually every particular
with the bill introduced on December % by
ex-President Guchkoff providing for tariff
schedules applicable to the United States
at the expiration of the Russo American
commerce and navigation treaty Of 1892.
Washington. Dec 27-Except as indica,-
ing the extent of Russian resentment at
the action of the United states in abrogat-
ing the treaty of 1892 the Introduction in
the Douma to-day Of the bill attacking the
American export trade with Russia IL not
regarded with much concern In Official
circles here. Even if the measure should
be adopted by the Douma, II would require
the approval of the Imperial Council and
of the Emperor himself to become law. In
that case it could not take effect Before
January. 1913, because OF the continuance
until that date Of the present treaty, with
its favored nation clause.
Indications are that negotiations for
new treaty will not be undertaken seriously
before September In the interim The Rus
sian general elections will have been held
and the Amtrlcan national political conven-
ticns will have passed into history. Re-
moved from all likelihood Of political in
fiuence in either country IL is felt that the
negotiations then can De conducted In
judicial manner.
There may be two treaties instead or one.
OF these conventions one would deal en-
tirely with matters of trade and commerce,
and the operation OF its favored nation
clause. II enc were embodied. would be con-
fined 10 those subjects. The other treaty
would relate purely 10 matters OF citizen
