Hear Of Rebuff To Russia.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 14, 1912:
Diplomats in Vienna Say Washington Rejects Overtures for Treaty.
By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless to The New York Times.
    VIENNA, Nov. 13.— News has been received in diplomatic quarters here from St. Petersburg to the effect that the American Government has rejected the proposals made by the Russian commission, which was appointed some time ago to study questions connected with the renewal of the Russo-American treaty and especially the passport question. The commission, which consisted of high officials and experts, finished its labors a few weeks ago and submitted a report which formed the basis of the proposals then made to Washington by the Russian Government, and now, according to the report which has just reached here, rejected by Washington.
    It is surmised that the American Government considers the Russian proposals concerning the passport question inadequate, the State Department adhering to its original demand of equal treatment for all bearers of American passports.
    It is stated in connection with this development that the American Ambassador at St. Petersburg, Curtis Guild, will soon resign, though in American circles here it is believed that if Mr. Guild's resignation is on the cards it is more probably connected with the change of Presidency.
