FEELING AT ST. PETERSBURG.
All Hope for an Agreement Practically
Abandoned.

st. PETERsBuRG, August r. - Dis
patches from Portsmouth make 1t clear
that unless there Is q very substantial
abatement Of the demands OF the Japanese
plenipotentiaries. which is unlikely, the
peace conference will come to a sudden
conclusion.
The two nations are so wide apart that
all hope of agreement has been practically
abandoned here. 1t is probable that the
next session will end in final adjourn
ment and that NJ. Witte may sail for
Europe very shortly.
London Confirmation.
LONDON, August IA dispatch to the
Times from st. Petersburg says:
although the foreign Office preserves alb
solute secrecy in regard to the news from
America. l am informed from trust
worthy source that the press dispatch
containing the Japanese conditions of peace
is Identical In substance with that sent to
the foreign Office by NJ. Witte.'

political parties were among the hosts, and
quoting hall to the strains of the Mar

dent Loubet had been honored, Mr.. Balfour

MARCUS BRAUN's RESIGNATION
Published Reasons for His Action Are
Incorrect

The Department of Commerce and Labor
mas accepted the resignation of Special I'M
migrant Inspector Marcus Braun of New
York. Commissioner General Sargent inter-
viewed Mr.. Braun at New York yesterday
and today the following statement was
given out:
Mr.. Braun In an interview at Ellis Is
land yesterday stated that his resignation
was rendered on account of personal rea-
sons and not from any dissatisfaction aris-
Ing on account of the regulations of the
bureau of immigration requiring the uni
form Of the service to be worn by all en-
ployes detailed for duty at Ellis Island,
nor on account Of any difference of opinion
which he might hold as to the regulations
governing the admission of aliens into the
United States; that the reports which have
been SO generously circulated representing
him as resigniRg because of his being re-
quired to wear uniform are absolutely
without foundation, and he never laid claim
to such reason
THE bureau regrets losing the valuable
service of Mr.. Braun. but it feels gratified
that 1t is not on account of any nlisunder-
standings between himself and the officers
OF the department that he resigns"

ing been scheduled originally to reach Jer-
sey City at / am. By this means all on
board were able to secure a good rest
Crowds cheered the passage of the train

cident of special Importance.
At Port Jervis, N. Y. where a stop OF a
few minutes was made at midnight to
change locomotives, a crowd of quite a
thousand people had assembled Some Of
those in the crowd were unruly and bolster
GUS. The President had retired, but the un-
ruly element insisted that he get UP to ad-
dress them.

won't come out I'll wake him up" Sc
cret service officer ordered the man to get
down from the car step. He refused to re-
lease his hold on the railing. One Of the
detectives of the railroad raped the man
across the wrists with blackjack. The
mans hold on the railing loosened and he
fell back crying: "Oh, If / had a gun I'd
fix you" The train pulled out a moment
afterward.
Up to the time Of the arrival In Jersey
City, shortly after s o'clock this morning,
the train was greeted at every station by
cheering crowds. Long after midnight, at
stations where no stops were made, hun
dreds of people were gathered and, at sew
eral of them there were illuminations of
red and green fire and roman candles.
After breakfast, served on the train, the
President at o'clock boarded the Penn
sylvania railroad tug Lancaster in the Erie
railroad yards and was conveyed to Long
Island City. There special Long Island

on which he came to Oyster Bay.
The President had no engagements to re-
ceive callers today and after his arrival at

the dispatch of executive business, which
had accumulated in his absence.

Although there was no change In

ical month when the fever appears
early in the summer, yet the small
death rate the past week Is regarded
as justifying a recent interview by DR..

service that the present visitation
will not reach the proportions of any
previous epidemic.
The fever continues to be confined
to New Orleans and Louisiana, no
cases being reported in Alabama or

There has been a slight lessening Of
