tives.
Demands Full Power.
.sThe plenipotentiaries of both Rus
STA and Japan will be instructed with
full power to negotiate and conclude a
treaty Of peace, subject, of course, to
ratification by, their respective home
governments.
Some delay was occasioned in the Sc
lection of the plenipotentiaries by the
insistence of Japan that the ENJOYS Of
both governments be clothed with full
power to conclude peace and to negO-
tiate permanent treaty.
The Japanese government indicated
pointedly that the emperor would not
permit his ENJOYS to enter upon ten
tative conference, in which Japan was
to define its terms and then let Russia
decide whether the conference should
proceed with their deliberations. The
Toxic government insisted that the
plenipotentiaries should have conferred
on them treaty making powers, and thai
the negotiations should be entered upo1
