MEMORANDUM.
The imperial government repeatedly
declared through the United States rep
resentatives at Toxic and Pekin that
the appointment of plenipotentaries with
fun powers to conclude peace was an in
disponsahle prerequisite to negotiations
on the subject of peace
His Imperial majesty's plenipotentiaries
however. find that the authorization
which their eXcellencies. the plenipoten-
uaries Of his majesty the Emperor Of
China. communicated TO them on March
I, is wholly inadequate for the purpose
FOR which IL is claimed II was issued.
II lacks nearly all the essential attrib-
utes OF fun powers as usually understood
The imperial government have not re-
ccded from the position which they an
nounced to the representa- lives of the
United states that they had taken on the
subject of fun powers, and the imperial
Japanese plenipotentiaries, having been
intrusted by his majesty, the Emperor Of
Japan, with actual, proper and complete
fun powers, cannot consent to treat with
plenipo:entlaries OF his majesty, the EN-
peror OF China. who are only authorized
TO discuss matters, to report to the
Tsung-Li-Yamen and 10 obtain subse-
qucnt commands OF the throne by which
they are to be guided.
Under these circumstances, 1t only re-
mains for the penipotentiaries OF his
majesty. the Emperor OF Japan, to de-
clare the present negotiation at an end.
