ASTORIA imperial and Rebel Dele gates at Shanghai. WU MAKES FOUR PROPOSALS. Negotiations, WILL BAR "UNDESIRABLES For Infants and Children. In January, 1913, When New Pact Is Arranged, Cxar Will Refuse to Re lease Obligation of Military Service May Adopt Plan Japan Follows. Washington. Dec. 10. Tbnt the pres ident's notification of the Russian gov ernment of hs intention to terminate the treaty of 1832 after the expiration of the required year's notice Is to be followed Immediately by diplomatic discussion looking to the negotiation of a new treaty Is the understanding hero. It Is regarded as even more certain, however, that the now treaty, If nego tiated, will not contain a provision for the reciprocal and unrestricted admis sion by one government of nil citizens of the other. It Is understood, on the other hand, that though the new treaty will make less broad the reciprocal pledges of the two countries regarding treatment to be nccorded each other's citizens the net result will be a con siderable improvement In the situa tion now so strenuously objected to by American Jews. The solution of the problem Is ex pected by both governments to be found In a system whereby each gov ernment will admit citizens of the other country vouched for by the gov ernment of that country. It has been proposed that a plan similar to that by which Japanese laborers are kept out of the United States will be adopted. The United States government does not exclude Japanese directly, but through a solemn pledge by the mika do that he will not issue passports to any of his subjects to come to this country except under certain prescrib ed conditions. It must be borne in mind constantly that In a treaty the language Is iden tical for both countries, and what one Is pledged to the other ,is equally bound to fulfill. As the Russian gov ernment has already reminded the United States that the latter excludes from this country millions of Russian subjects who are either Mongolians or polygamous peoples like the Moham medans, this government cannot .nsk the czar to let down all the bars reg ulating administration of aliens to Rus sia in the cases of American citizens. It may be accepted as a positive fact that each government will insist on its right to declare certain aliens "unde sirables." Russlu also will insist on the reten tion of the policy she has maintained successfully for years of refusing to recognize naturalized American Jews, native to Russia, as released from all obligations to the czar's government through their American citizenship. This attitude, which the United States does not attempt to oppose, renders Jews returning or desiring to return to Russia as liable to military service and other obligations which, Russia holds, are never renounced by her citizens. Assurances of the willingness of the Russian government to enter into dis cussion looking toward a new treaty are understood to have been received by the United States before notice of the Intended termination of the treaty was given. At the stnte department there Is not the slightest doubt but that friendly relations between the two countries will continue uninterrupted between now and the termination of the treaty, and evcu after the termination. NO PASSPORT CONCESSIONS. Russia Will Not Yield to American Jews' Demands. St. Petei-sburg Dec. 10. It is appar ent that Russia has no intention of yieldlug any concession whatsoever on the Jewish passport question, no mat ter what proposals may be made hy the Uultud States. The members of the doumu are skeptical as to the pos sibility of the Democratic party tak ing any serious action in the matter. The leaders of the douma assert that no member of the cabinet would dare to touch the question. Ambassador Guild, acting under in structions from, Washington, saw M. Sasouoir, iho Russian minister of for eign affairs, and the latter expressed the willingness of his government to have issued instructions to Russian consuls to pass freely all Jews who are entitled to admittance to the em pire under the present regulations. This, ho expfaiued, was iu view of the fact that especially within the last ten years, '.vheu busiuess attracted many foreigners to Russia, there had bceu numerous complaints that a large number of persons who were in reality acceptable were denied ndmlttunce to the country by Individual consuls. M. Sasouoff said that he-could go no fur ther, as the Judicial status of Jews, whether native or foreign, could uot now bo raised. Turkeys For New York.

Czar's Minister Convinced of Persia's Good Will. Paris, Dec. 10. The Temps says that as a result of the conference here be tween M. Sazonoff, the Russian minis ter of foreign nffalrs, and the Persian minister to France, Russia has modi fled the terms of her recent ultimatum to the shah's government. The reason for this Is that the czar's ministers see a proof of Persia's good will In her decision to dismiss Shuster from ids post ns comptroller of Persian finances. The Temps adds that now that this -chief obstacle to good rela tions between Russia and Persia has been removed the czar is disposed to seek some arrangement whereby the Anglo-Russian agreement may bo rec onciled with Persia's dignity,. So far as the selection of foreigners for im portant posts is concerned, Persia (is disposed to choose them from among the citizens of secondary powers. RECEIVJEIS FOB, WABASH.

Impe rial Representative to Observe Arm istice and Wires Own Leaders to Cease Military Operations. Rebels Win First Round. Shanghai, Dec. 10. Tho conference between the representatives of the imperial government and the revolu tionary commissioners opened here when Tang Shao YI and five others named by the premier, Yuan Shlh Kal, met Dr. Wu Ting Fang nnd the five other delegates from the revolution aries. The principal business of the first meeting related to alleged breaches of the armistice which was recently de clared. Dr. Wu complained that the truce had been frequently broken by the Mnnchu soldiers, nnd he insisted that Tang telegraph the premier to have this stopped. There was a pro longed discussion of tho matter, but in the end Tang gave his consent to do as Dr. Wu demanded. The discussion was in the most friendly tone. When this point was settled Wu refused to go on with the conference until the' answer of Yuan Shlh Knl had been received. In the meantime Wu wired Li Yuan Hung and other revolutionary leaders to ab stain from hostilities. It Is generally considered here that by this conference the revolutionaries have won tho first round. This seems reasonable In view of the fnct that Tang held out for two hours before ho would yield to the demands of Wu Ting Fang. Wu, on behalf of his associates, pre sented four proposals, which, of course, were not acted upon. They were for tho abolition of the Manchu dynasty, the establishment of a republican form of government, the pensioning of the Imperial family and generous treat ment for all Manchus.

This, it Is said, wns done to clear the way for the final drama. INDIANA FIGHT ON. Taft and Anti-Taft Men In a Test of Strength. Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 10.
