BLACK PESSMISM NOW
 REICNS AT PORTSMOUTH
FATE OF CONFERENCE ALREADY SEALED THE PREVAIL

 Day They Have AdjOurned-one Hope

 burg-Czar's Manifesto Granting Ma
 tiOnaI Assembly Evidently Timed for
 This Crisis.
 Portsmouth, N. H. Aug. 18.-Black pessimism reigns at Portsmouth to- night. The prevailing view is that the fate of the peace conference is already sealed, that it has ended in failure, and that all that now remains is for the plenipotentiaries to meet on Tuesday, to which day they adjourned this aft ernoon upon completing the seriatim consideration of the Japanese terms, sign the final protocol, go through the conventions and bid each other fare- well. In other words that the meeting Tuesday will be what diplomacy calls 'seance d'adieu." But there is still room for hope.of compromise. Neith- CT President Roosevelt nor the powers will see the chance of peace shipwreck- ed without final effort, and that pres sure is being exerted. especially at TolSio, to induce her to moderate terms, is beyond question. Just what is being done or is to be dones has not tram spired, but in these days, with modern means of communication, much can be accomplished. King Edward is under stood to be now lending a helping hand, and the flnanciers of the world are known to be exerting all their influ- ences. At Tokio and St. Petersburg the final issue, will be decided. The Jap anese have been implacable throughout the six days sittings. They have lis tened and explained, but they have not yielded an iota of the substance of their original demands. M. Witte accepted outright seven of the twelve Japanese conditions, one in principle and four in cluding the main Issues, indemnity, and sakhalin, he rejected. The other two, limitation of naval power, and the surrender of interned war ships, might have been arranged had there been any prospect of agreement on the two points upon which the di- vergence seemed irreconcilable. Tn the oral discussion of the terms M. Witte yielded upon two articles, but substan- tially the result of thirteen sittings of the plenipotentiaries has only been to emphasize the position taken by M. Witte in the written reply he presnt- ed last Saturday to the Japanese terms. And now. both sides turn to home before the cards are thrown face upward upon the table next Tuesday. For the irn- passe reached to-day by the plenipo- tentiaries is recognized to be only a diplomatic fiction. If in the interim fresh instructions are received by either side, compromise is yet possible. But the chances are recognized to, be slim. So far as the Russian plenipo-

He was taken to the German hospital, where It was found that nine ribs are broken, one of his lungs is punctured and his right fernur is frac- tured. Pneumonia and pleurisy may set in within twenty hours, and if he survives them he may live, the sur geons say. -- zS
 Jays car lies submerged in the pond, only the gasoline tank being above wa ter. # s 2.

 Through Draw. .-.3. ,.s

Norfolk Va, Aug. 1s.-Thirteen. bodies have been recovered to date and the death list of the wreck on the At lantic Coast Line railroad at Bruce's Station is yet far from complete. It is said that a score or so of bodies floated down with the. tide when the first sub merged car was raised, and that the other passenger coach, crowded with dead negroes, Is now buried in the mud of the western branch of the Elizabeth river The estimates of the loss of life range anywhere from fifty. to seventy five, and even as high as one hundred.
 All day long the operations of the rescuing and wrecking crews contin- ued. When derricks brought the first coach out and up from its submerged position 1t hung at an agle and the strain Ioosened the ends of the car. As "a result seats, cushions, etc., were washed out and down into the river, and with them the dead bodies. The work of the. divers was impeded by} high tide and a stiff gale. ..- -.s q

Final Contest for the Canada Cup
 Taken by the IroquOis

Charlotte. N. r., Aug. 1S.-The Anne ican boat Iroquois this afternoon VI the final contest for the Canada cup, making three out of five races from the Temeraire.

In the five races sailed here the Fife built boat Temeraire has demonstrated her superiority as a rough-weather boat, and at the same time only falling little short of being the equal of the Herreshoff creation in light airs. The official times follows:
 Start-Temeraire, 11:15:10; Iroquois, 11:15:15.
 Finish-Iroquois, 2:17:14; Temeraire, 2:19:29.

 --Mr. schiR at Bar HarbOr.
 New York, Aug 1S.-Two small infer nal machines were sent to prominent New Workers to-day. Jacob H. schiff. the banker, who early this week con- ferred with M Witte, the chief Russian peace plenipotentiary, concerning the condition of the Jews in Russia, was the target of the more dangerous of the two machines, contrivance capable of causing death The other was received by M. Guggenheim's Sons and was di- rected to the office of the American Smelling and Refining company,
 MT. SchiH was absent from the city, being at Bar Harbor. The banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Go, of which he lis member, received by mall a wooden box, about six inches long, addressed to MT Schiff and marked as if coming from King Edward VII. It was imme- diately turned over to the police al though at first regarded only as a joke. Grave reports from expert testers at the bureau of conbustibles, however. quickly suggested that the sender might have had other motives than pleasanSs try The police began an iInmediaIe Investigation.
 Removal of the box's wooden cover disclosed only an innocent package wrapped in some paper bearing stock quotations. but inside was q contriy- Eance arranged, at the least rough hand- ling, to discharge two cartridges loaded with 32-calibre bullets and packed about with lead slugs. The entire af- fair was enclosed inside cylinder of emery paper, tightly sealed with cotton. and containing thirty-one grains of { highly explosive powder and matches
 The other internal machine, identical in size and general make with this one, was received by M. GuggenheiInss Sons in a package which bore on the outside. in stamped letters, the name Jacob H. Schiff. The name stood alone, with nothing to explain it's presence there. This machine differed from the schift explosive only by containing in place of the cartridges a phial filled with some substance thought to be nitro- glycerine or sulphuric acid. The pack age was placed in water and soon it exploded sufficiently to tear open its lwrappings. This explosion was thought to come from gases generated by tha soaking.

PRESIDENT MAY ACT.
Has Hurried Conversation Over Wire
 With Assistant Secretary Pierce.

With Assistant Secretary Pierce.
 Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 18.-At mid night Assistant Secretary Peirce was hurriedly called to the Hotel Went worth where a message was awaiting him from the president. He immediate ly wrote lengthy reply. Later he was .called to the telegraph instrument and for half an hour carried on a conversa- tion by telegraph with the president, who was at the other end of the wire at Oyster Bay.
 The Associated Press has reason to believe that the purpose of the presi- dents conversation with MT. Peirce was to arrange for one of the Russians to go to Oyster Bay. The president is un- derstood to be already in communica- tion with the Japanese through Prince Kaneko.. MT. Roosevelt is undoubtedly prepared to make a last effort to in- duce the warning countries to compro- mise.
 Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 19.-At 12:5O a. m. the telegraphic conversation with the president ceased and MT. Peirce left the hotel in his automobile. He said he was going home, but beyond that de- clined to make any statement. T can tell you nothing," he said to all the anxious inquiries of the newspaper men.

Asbury Park, N. J, Aug. 1s.-In an informal election to-day the residents of Asbury Park decided against the proposition to issue licenses to hotels to sell liquor by a vote of 4O9 to 401. As the election was only taken for the pur- pose of ascertaining the popular senti- ment on the liquor question, the result is not binding on the common council, which. 1t is believed, !. will proceed to pass an ordinance creating a license commission, leaving the courts the matter of determining the legality of selling liquor in the city.
