(Mr. Root advises Mr. Morgan that the representation of the United States in diplomatic matters affecting American treaty rights, persons, or property in Korea is transferred to the American legation at Tokyo, where such questions will be negotiated through the Japanese foreign office. Instructs him to transfer the legation property and archives to the custody of the consul-general; to withdraw from Korea and to return to the United States.)
