Mr. Loomis to Mr. McCormick.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

Department of State,
Washington, February 6, 1904.

(Mr. Loomis informs Mr. McCormick that, according to a telegram from the American minister at Tokyo, it seems that the Japanese Government has decided that it has waited longer for an answer from the Russian Government than is reasonable. Asks whether he has any knowledge of the reply of the Russian Government to the Japanese counter proposals.)
