BARON kUNEkO CALLS
 TO SEE THE PRESIDENT.

Oyster Bay, L. l.. August 18.-President Roosevelt's only visitor today was Baron kaneko, who studiously conceals his precise mission, but he is known to be a confidential representative in this coun- try of the Japanese government. This was his fourth visit to the President in a few weeks. and the second within week. Reasons developed today for the state- ment that Baron Kaneko's call had rela- ton to the proceedings of tho peace con- ference at Portsmouth, although 1t ap- pears likewise reasonably certain that he did not come as the representative of the Japanese envoys. He is known to be in direct communication with the govern ment at Tokio. Whether he is the bearer of messages from Japan to the President Is not known, but he came on his own in itiative, the President not being aware of his coming until his arrival. President Roosevelt and members of his family, who were absent from home during the greater part of the day had not returned when the Baron arrived. and did not re- turn for some time afterwards. The Pres dient and Baron Kaneko had an extended conference, but nothing vas disclosed con- corning 1t. Baron Kaneko left for New York at 8 D. m.
 The President, accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt and their children and some of the members of the other Roosevelt families, left Sagamore Hhl today in boats for a secluded spot on the shore of Long Island Sound. several miles away. There they had luncheon and passed a few hours delightfully."-. It was nearly o'clock when they reached home. Kermit, the second son of the President, left today for Deadwood, S. D., on a visit to Capt. Seth Bullock. supervisor of the Black Hills reservation.

NEW RULING MADE
 ABOUT QUARANTINE
REFUGEES GAN NOT PASS THROUGH ALABAMA MORE THAN ONE TIME IN SEVEN DAYS. CITIES QUARANTINE.

". Barnes Morgan, quarantine super visor in Birmingham. received message yesterday from Dr. Sanders, president of the state board of health, that refu- gees would not be allowed to pass through Alabama a second time until after they had been out of the state for seven days.
 The matter was called to the attention of Dr. Sanders by MT. Morgan, who had received a request from one of the rail- roads that people from Georgia who had refugeed from Louisiana be allowed to travel through Alabama en route back to Louisiana within less than seven days.
 Dr. Sanders stated thfe he was willing to allow the refugees to go through the state one time, that is when they were leaving infected places for other parts of the country. He, however. says that he Is not willing to take the risk of a second time by allowing them to pass through Alabama, en route back home unless they have been out of the infected districts seven days.
 Dr. w. s. Green, a member of the ex- ecutive committee of the Mississippi state board of health, who lives in Aberdeen, was in Birmingham yesterday in con- ference with MT. Morgan regarding quar- antine matters. He is one of the most prominent physicians in Mississippi.
 Messages were received by the local quarantine office yesterday that New AL bany, Tupelo and Holly Springs would no longer recognize health certificates from Birmingham. Anyone entering any of these cities will have to have a certif- cate signed by the mayor of the city.

EXPECTS THE NEGOTIATION TO
 REACH FINAL AGREEMENT.

Paris, August 1S.--Conflicting reports emanating from Portsmouth though cre- ating a feeling of ui f>ainess do not give rise to any diminutlun of the hope and expectation that the negotiators will reach a basis for final agreement.
 The fact that the principal questions have been broached and their postpone ment without causing a rupture, Is re- garded as evidence of the efforts of both sides to find a rsethod of compromise The postponement of decision on the principal points Is believed not to be due to the impossibility of arriving at an agreement thereon. but Is looked upon as indication that the plenipotentiaries desire final instructions from their re- spective governments relative to the ex- tent of the concessions that will be per- mitted.
 The report of the resignation of For eign Minister I.amsdorff Is received as a bad sign for peace, but the tack of con- firmation as to It's accept5 HLp Is viewed as shown that the EmnSx4r hesitates to exhibit an uncompromisin8 attitude The exercise of neutral influence is undoubted- ly responsible for this hesitation, the knowledge of which sustains the public In the belief that an eventual arrange ment Is probable. Financial circulars to- day showed some trepidation, but Russian stocks maintained their prices.
