RUSSIA TO REJECT U. 5.
 OVERTURES FOR TREATY

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 25.-That the Russian foreign office has re- ceived a note from Washington in timating that the United States is anxious to open negotiations for the formation of treaty to take the place of the Russo-American treaty of 1882, which will expire January l, 1913, is reported in official cir cles
 It is safe to say, however, that Russia has resolved upon a policy of procedure so that the first of next year will find no commercial instrument existing between the two powers. Russia's anger at the Unit ed States for abrogating the treaty because of passport determinations against American Jews has not abat- ed.
 The government, carrying out it's policy of domestic reform in order to meet the United States tariffs and conduct a trade war against America, is introducing bills in the duma for appropriations to fos- ter industries.
 The most noteworthy measure so far introduced is that appropriating S250 100000 for irrigation projects in Turkestan SO that the cotton raising industry may be carried on there on scale sufficiently large to enable this country to cut off it's cotton supply from the United States.
