DELEGATES ARE DISPLEASED
Dissolution of Duma ne Opening
Leaves Little Chance of
Accomplish

THE HAGUE June 17.-The last chance
OF any government coming forward to
propose openly discussion of limitation OF
srmaments disappeared with the knowledge
that the government OF the United States
considered that the initiative belonged to
Europe and not TO America. NJ. Nelidon's
depressing utterances at the opening OF
the conference, coupled with the unfor-
tunate dissolution OF the duma at the very
moment the conference had assembled, has
produced many expressions Of regret that
President Roosevelt yielded the initiative
Of the second conference to Emperor Mich
olas.
The correspondent OF the Associated Press
has heard discussions Of delegates specu-
lating on the differences in effect which
would have been produced had the key
note been sounded by a country inspired
by democratic tendencies. As matters now
stand neither England nor any OF its con-
tinental friends are ready to move lest
the mere suggestion OF debating the ques-
tion Of the limitation Of armaments inject
a spirit Of discord which would endanger
the useful work achievable.
Conferences between the leaders repre-
senting the larger powers this afternoon
resulted in a decision TO recommend the
appointment OF only four committees to
consider the subjects enumerated under
the four heads in the Russian circular Of
April last.

TOXIC, June 17.-Leading members Of the
constitutional party held a meeting this
afternoon and passed a resolution on the
American question, recommending, in view
Of its Importance, calmness and prudence
and also the advisability OF trusting to
both governments for a satisfactory solu-
tion.
The text OF q resolution which has been
adopted by the constitutional party is as
follows:
THE persecution Of our compariots is
deeply to be regretted for the sake of both
America and Japan, but we must not for
get that there exists between the two ma
tions the closest friendship, which might
almost be called an alliance In the face
Of the professions OF the government at
washington and the American people in
general such incidents as are reported to
have occurred must not be taken as ex-
pressions OF their will. It Is believed.
therefore. that the question, IL properly
handled is capable OF a just and intelli-
gent solution.
we must refrain from becoming ex-
cited over unlawful conduct on the part
Of the people and thus injuring the ma
tional cause. We expect that a proper
settlement will soon be. reached through
peaceful diplomacy"
