Senate Takes Up Russian Treaty.
Washington, D. c., Dec. 18Th
Senate was in session today pawn
the way to ward ratification of Pres
dent Taft's action in abrogating th
Russion treaty OF 1882. Many Sen;
tors were prepared with speeches, an
it became evident after two hours {
the sitting that a vote might not b
reached.
Rayner criticizes Russia.
Senator Rayner began the debat
with a speech in which he sharpl
criticized Russia. He was interrup
ed many times. Senator Lodge fo
lowed in support of the resolution {
ratification which he reported yeste
day from the foreign relations COZ
mittee.
Many Senators interrupted Sanatt
Rayner during his speech. Mr.. He
burn Of Idaho delved into history an
asked some questions which Mr.. Ra
ner agreed to look up. Mr.. Swanso
of Virginia cited the case of Ro
noke citizen whose family was di
eliminated again. Mr.. Rayner sa
he knew of no instance in which a
American Jew, whether Russian BOZ
or not, had been given official permi
sion to visit Russia.
He said it was not Russian co
suls business what mans religit
was, and added amid laughter, that
knew of mo reason why any OF
should want to visit Russia anyhow
Answering Mr.. Culberson's +
marks of yesterday, Mr.. Lodge said
was question whether the Hou
had not been more discour.eous to Il
president than the president to Il
House.
The House had taken action in Il
face of the prerident's announceme
that the question was under conside
alton between the two ountries.
Mr.. Lodges argument was intend'
to justify the course OF the preside
in asking the Endorsement Of the Sc
ate only.
Senator Lodge urged avoidance
any words that would inflame; acti'
that would make the United State
position impregnable, and forev
| stop "the determinations against al
of our citizens"
Senator Smith Of Maryland, tn
spoke, urging immediate action.
Senator William Alden Smith
Michigan, said the abrogation of t
treaty would not sever commerce
relations between the United Stat
and Russia, because the favored I
ton clause of the treaty had been 1
perseded by the operation of the ma
mum and minimum clause OF t
Payne tariff law and by Preside
Taft's proclamation. granting mi
mum rates to Russia, July 1880.
