storer to st. Petersburg.

HIS MAJESTY WILL EN- TRAIN AT
PORTSMOUTH THIS AFTERNOON.
Arrangements Complete for the Re-
ception of the King on His Ar

BERLIN. Aug 5-Andrew D. White, am
bassador of the United States to Germany,
has resigned, to take effect on Nov. 4. II is
believed here his resignation is already in
the hands of President Roosevelt. the am
bassador having mailed it some time ago.
Mr. White has not been in good health for
a year or more and he is now at Homburg
taking the waters. He probably will re-
main there until the end of the month.
There is much gossip in Berlin concerning
Mr.. Whites probable successor. and one
circumstantial story is that the President

ter to Spain. Mr. Tower. who has been
dissatisfied with st. Petersburg, expressed
months ago a wish to be transferred to
some other equally desirable post. prefer
ably Berlin.
Mr.. White was appointed ambassador to
Germany April l, 1897. In March it was an
nounced that he contemplated resigning be-
cause OF i'll health.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-No information
has been received at the State Department
signed. but the announcement was not un-
expected, as a report was current some
time ago that he would retire from public
life upon reaching his SEVENTEEN birthday.
Several gentlemen in the diplomatic service
have been mentioned in connection with the
Berlin embassy should Ambassador White
retire. the most prominent being DR.. David
Jayne Hill. now first assistant secretary Of
state. and Hon. Bellamy Storer. at present
minister TO Spain.
ITHACA. n. Y, Aug. 5.-The resignation
OF Ambassador White has been expected
by his friends in this city for many months,
particularly since the death of his son,
Frederick d. White, of Syracuse. in July,
1901. DR.. White will be seventy years old
in November. and the reason assigned here
for his withdrawal from the honorable post
which he occupied at Berlin is that he is
ready now TO devote himself to writing. He
has completed work on his experiences
and "reminiscences as diplomat at Berlin
and ST. Petersburg and is constantly en-
gagged in literary work. He has retained his
home on the campus since he left Cornell

that he will return here TO live DR.. Whites

WILL BE RAISED TODAY.
Traction Company VIII Not Run Its

Maintained by Both Sides.
pecial to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
KNIGHTSTOWN, Ind, Aug 5-The fight
between the Indianapolis & Eastern Rail-
way Company and the Hancock county
health board, which resulted in rioting at
Charlottesville, practically came to an end
this afternoon, when the health board an
nounced that the quarantine against
Knightstown would be raised at noon to-
morrow. This quarantine has been the
cause of all the trouble between the COM
pany and the health board.
DR.. Selman. Hancock county health Of
ficer. Robert Wilson, president of the
Board of County Commissioners, and Ell
mer j. Binford and c. NJ. Kirkpatrick
directors of the company. were here to-
day on a special car TO investigate the con-
ditions. On their return to Greenfield they
held an extended session. at which it was
finally decided to raise the quarantine
Messrs. Binford and Kirkpa trick, who were
here tonight, declared TO the Journal that
the delay until tomorrow noon was in
tended as challenge by the board. 1t was
agreed at the conference yesterday that
the company should refrain from running
its cars until noon to-day by which
time the quarantine would be lifted
if the conditions here were found
to be as represented by the company. The
action, however, was postponed until to-
morrow and Immediately the quarantine
guards who had been temporarily LET off
were set at the line again in anticipation
that the company would resume running its
cars in accordance with its declaration
The company then decided that trouble
and perhaps violence was probable at Char
lottesville If IL should attempt to run the
cars, and they will not be run until noon
tomorrow The company's men are still
guard.
The interurban refused to agree to drop
the pending actions against the Health
Board in case the quarantine was lifted
and the officials declare that no expense
or effort will be spared TO fight the cases
through the courts and punish both officers
and citizens who offered violence to their
employees, obstructed their tracks and de-
molished their property. Altogether twenty
arrests have been made on both sides and a
long legal battle is certain to follow The
preliminary hearing of Mr. Kirkpatrick
and others arrested for breaking the quar-
antine will be held Friday and the
leaders of the mob and the officers arrested
will be arraigned next Monday.
