RUSSIAN TREATY TERMINATED.

After a life Of eighty wears, the
commercial treaty between the United
States and Russia terminated yester-
day, and the relations Of the two coun-
tries now rests solely on The princi-
pies Of International law.
While the abTogation of the treaty
leaves this country at the mercy of
Russia's excessive tariff duties-about
% per cent higher than the rate under
the abrogated agreement-it is tacitly
admitted at Washington and at ST. Pc
tersburs that there will be no tariff
war and until substitute treaty is
made both countries will adhere to the
letter of the agreement of 1892
state officials express the belief that
the maximum and minimum provision
Of the Payne Aldrich tariff law, which
gives the United States weapon
against nations that discriminate
against her was largely responsible
for Russias friendly overtures toward
the rulflment of another treaty.
The treaty Of 1882, which was or
dered discontinued by President Taft
when Russia refused To cease discrim.
lnation against American Jews in
Russia was one of the broadcast en-
tered into by the United States with
