Ambassador Meyer reports on diplomatic meetings in Russia. Emperor Nicholas II would like President Roosevelt to confirm that Japan has named its plenipotentiaries, so that Russia may name men of equal standing. The Minister of Foreign Affairs believes that matters should now be expedited and “an armistice considered and agreed upon.”
