FOR CONTROL
OF MANCHURIA
China Sends Akssage to the
Powers.
ASKS TO BE CONSULTED
When Japan and Russia Get Together
to Settle Upon Peace Terms
Identical Notes
Sent.
Washington, July 21. China's official
notification to the "powers that she will
not recognize any arrangement regard
ing Manchuria concerning which bIio has
not own consulted beforehand has now
Teached Washington and will be forth
with forwarded to the President at Oy
ster Bay. Before addressing this note
to the neutral powers China sent to St.
Petersburg and Tokio an identical note
containing 'this notification. The Chin
ese communication is briefly worded and
is so expressed that it calls for no
reply.
The arrival of the text of the note
disposes of the unofficial report reaching
Washington recently from Europe that
China had requested that she be allowed
to participate in the conference.
China's motive in addressing to Rus
sia and Japan such a notification was
to remind them that she had never ac
quiesced in the alienation of Manchuria
from Chinese sovereignty and that she
expected as the first "result of the war
the full restoration to Chinese control
of that province. That this position
might receive the continued support of
the neutral powers, copies of the note
were forwarded to the-other capitals
for presentation by the respective Chin
ese representatives.
Chinese viceroys, governors and dip
lomatic representatives generally are
unanimous in the belief that this res
toration should be made uncondition
ally. They also believe that additional
Manchurian ports should be ojencd to
the world's commerce for a limited per
iod and that the powers be asked to
waive extra territorial rights in Man
churia in favor of China. If this were
done it was recommended that the re
mainder of Manchuria be declared open
to foreign commerce.
Advices reaching Washington indicate
that the insist ance upon the uneondi
tonal restoration of Manchuria without
'condition finds favor ia the Chinese capi
tal and this opens up an important sub
ject in connection with the Washington
conference. Having been the chief zone
of operations, Manchuria will naturally
figure prominently 'in the conference.
China' insistence that she be consulted
about any arrangements concerning
Manchuria will if respected by the bel
ligerents, it is believed, necessitate an
indirect participation in the negotiations

Was the Placing of Rutland Street Rail
way in Receiver's Hands.
Rutland, July 21. David Fox, general
manager of the Rutland Street Railway
company, stated yesterday that the ap
plication ot JMllgias uomnsou, receiver
for the Merchants' Trust Co., of New
. - . f - II.. T1..il J-
lorK, lor a receiver ior me nuuuuu
street railway made at Burlington Wed
nesday was inade chiefly to protect the
interests of the company which he re
presented. The street railway property,
Fox said, is proving profitable and it
has been understood investors have been
giving it some attention with a view
of possible purchase. To prevent such
a transfer which might not be for the
advantage of the trust company, Robin
son decided to ask for a receiver.
In further explanation Mr. lox, no
tice of whose appointment as receiver
came from Burlington during the fore
noon. said the People's Gas Light company
and the Chittenden Power company al
though allied with the street railway
company were in no wise involved in
the receivership, fox was oi rue opin
ion the receivership would continue until
the Merchants' Trust company's inter
ests had been satisfied through disposal
of such assets ns might be necessary.
It was not improbable, in loss opinion,
that a reorganization of the street rail
way company might take place. Jos
stated also that Robinson was the ouly
one claiming authority to give out a
statement of the financial condition of
the street railway company.

Great Teamsters' Strike In
Chicago Finished.
STRIKERS SURRENDER
First Break in Ranks Came Yesterday
- When Lumber Teamsters Returned
to Work Vote This
Morning.
Chicago, July 21. The teamsters'
strike, that has so greatly disturbed
business conditions in Chicago for the
last 305 day7 was, at 12:30 o'clock
this morning officially declared oil by
the teamsters' joint council.
The men have been ordered to seek
their old positions and it is estimated
that less than one-half of them will be
re-employed. The strikers have made
a complete surrender and will npply for
work, as individuals and without an
agreement of any kind with their em
ployers. :
The first break came yesterday vhen
the lumber teamsters voted to return
to work regardless of what action might
be taken by any other union. Last
night the department store drivers and
the railway express drivers voted to
call oil' the strike. It is expected that
about 60 per cent of the department
store drivers will be reinstated.
The employers say that only such
men will be taken back as are needed
after the non-union men have been pro
vided for, and that the question of wear
ing union buttons must be left to the
individual employer.
GOVERNMENT LOST
ON IRISH QUESTION
Premier Balfour Hasn't Decided Whether
to Resign Scene of Confusion ia
Parliament After the
Vote.
London, July 21. Premier Balfour
will summon the cabinet for a meeting
at which it will be decided whether the
ministry will resign or shall demand
a new vote on the question of reduction
of memberships of Irish land commis
sion on which the government was de
feated in the House of Commons last
night. Conservative newspapers advise
the government to continue in office
while the liberal papers declare that
Raltour will endanger tiie Initisa con
stitut-ion if he fails to resign.
When the House met this morning the
opposition unsuccessfully attempted to
lollow up tiie advantage gained last
night and tried to force the government
to give some idea of its 'intention.
Premier Balfour was received by a great
ovation from Ins followers when he en
tercd the chamber. He pave no indica
tion, however, of what his intentions
are in regard to resigning.
'On the anouncement of the vote last
night a scene of the greatest excitement
was produced by the liberals and the
Irish members veiling "resign. ' ine in
cident is considered hardly of suiiicient
importance to justify the government in
resigning, but when asked by Sir Henry
Camplxdl-Uannerman, the leader of the
opposition, what course he intended to
pursue, Premier Balfour declined to
make a statement.
John Redmond, leader of the Irish"
party said the premier had repeatedly
declared tnat he would resign it deteat
cd, and that if he disregarded this vote
of wnut ot confidence, he would be act
ing against all precedents. Was he going
to swallow tins humiliation as lie swal
lowed every other humiliation in the
last few years, .the premier was asked
bv Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Balfour, replying coolly, said that
Mr, Redmond had greatly agitated nun
self over a matter which could be set
tied in due time. He was, he said, not
conscious of any . humiliation. There
would be ample opportunity within a
Jew hours of proving whether the govern
ment still enjoyed the confidence of the
majority of the bouse. The premier
said he would consult his colleagues as
to whether the question would again be
submitted to a vote, and would make a
statement Mondav.
Reported to Have Resigned.

the cabinet at today's meeting decided
to resign. There is no confirmation of
