CONSENT MUST BE ASKED President and Secretary of State Consider Step, AVhlch Involves "Whole Future of Man. churia and Open Door. OYSTER BAT, X. T., July 2L Presi dent Roosevelt and Ellhu Root, who as Burned formally last Wednesday his new auues as secretary or faiaie, -were in con ference tonight at Sagamore Hill. Among the many questions considered by them. none is fraught with deeper significance and Importance to the United States than Is that relating to an Identical note -which the Foreign Office of China within a day or two has sent to the powers neutral in lithe Far Eastern contest between Russia and Japan. Tbo text of the note, made public this evening. Is as follows: "Having viewed with profound regret the unfortunate Interruption of peaceful relations between Japan and Russia, the Imperial government now learns with sin cere grauncauon mat negotiations are about to commence for the restoration of peace and amity. But In the present con flict Chinese territory has been made the theater of military operations. Therefore It Is hereby expressly declared that no provision affecting China, without tho approval of China being previously ob tained, which tho treaty of peace may contain, will be recognized as valid. Th diplomatic representatives of China In Japan and Russia have been Instructed by telegraph to communicate this declara tion to the governments of Japan and Russia, respectively." r On its face the note appears to be a simple declaration that no determination of the peace conference affecting Chinese territory will be recognized as valid "without the approval of China previous ly obtained." It really means far more than that, as It is construed here. The United States, in common with otb. er nations. Is Interested particularly la the "open door" to Manchuria, and "be hind China's simple declaration lies tho whole question of the commerce and tho commercial relations of a great empire What action, if any, the United State Government may take as to the note Is "beyond accurate conjecture at this time. ILOMURA'S STAY IN XEW YORK Apartments Engaged, but Few Invi tations Will Be Accepted. NEW YORK, July 2L Arrangements for the accommodation of the Russian and Japanese envoys during their stay In New York City have been completed. Twenty of tho choicest rooms In the Fifth-Avenue Hotel have been engaged for Baron Komura and his suite. The Russian envoys will be cared for at an other hostelry near by on the avenue. No definlto plans for any form of enter tainment in honor of the Japanese envoy, who has Just started East from Seattle, will be made until the party arrives and Baron Komura is consulted. With the ex ception of some small entertainments planned by a few of Baron Xomura's In timate friends, among them Baron Kane ko, who was a. cla Parnate of his at Har vard, it is not thought likely that the party will accept any social invitations until after the conclusion of the peace conference at Portsmouth.

PETERSBURG, July 2L-The No voe Vremya today devoted a leading arti cle to the alleged Japanese peace condi tions as published by the Vienna Tage blatt and Frankfort Zcltung, dwelling es pecially on the specifications against double-tracking tho Siberian Railroad, which, the paper declares.

Mitchell, BftLFOUR GIVES UP Will Call Election for Parlia ment in October.- JOY AMONG THE LIBERALS Strategy of Opposition Fooled Con servatives and Secured Victory. Unionists Rejoice at Divis ions Among Rivals. LONDON. July 22. It Is understood that Premier Balfour has decided to remain in office until the end of the session and to dissolve Parliament in October. No authoritative statement, however, will be made until Monday, and in this interval this decision may be modified. The crisis has assumed a serious aspect. owing more to the circumstances attend ing the defeat of the. government Thurs- the Irish' Land Commission than to the Intrinsic Importance of the vote itself. The vote was actually due to the stack ness or to the indifference of the gov ernmcnt's own supporters, who, despite the strongest possible whip enforcing the necessity of their attendance on that particular night, allowed themselves to be lulled into a false confidence by the ruse of th.e Liberals and Nationalists in keeping their men In the background until thetriucal moment arrived. Mr. Balfour's audience of King Edward yesterday lasted only ten minutes, and It is supposed that he Intimated the fore going decision to His Majesty. The Unionist newspapers this morning, while professing to be delighted over the prospect of "leaderless Liberals," lacking a poncy or a programme, being forced to form a ministry bound hand and foot to John Redmond and his Nationalist fol. lowing, who engineered the defeat of the government, contend that the delicate sit uatlon of foreign affairs dictates that Lord Lansdowne shall remain In control of the foreign office and forbids the risk ing of any change In the government. The forthcoming oeace conference In th United States, the Anglo-Japanese alli ance, the international conference over .Moroccan reform the Anglo-French en tente and South African affairs are all represented as matters too serious to be intrusted to a Liberal or a Radical ministry.

The view that the government will re sign, however.
