As Berlin seen It.

Berlin, Aug. 25.-There is no disposi- tion today in responsible quarters to predict the result of the last efforts for peace, but no one appears to be san guine regarding the outcome. The feeling on the Bourse was one of uncer- tainty and a like feeling prevailed in the Government offices here, which are better informed as to the attitude of Russia than concerning that of Japan.
 The dominant feeling in the Russian court, as reported officially here, is that Russia Is in a better position to go on with the war since she has heard Japans terms than she was before, be- cause the dissemination of the terms in Russia Is having the effects'Of bring ing most educated persons to the con- viction that the war must be fought out as the conditions are insupportable and because the return to Russia of half a million soldiers. discontented with their treatment in the Far East and with the vain results of their endur- ance, would add to the internal fer ment, while the Government would not be able truthfuliy to answer the ac- cusation that 1t had made a dishonor- able peace. ....

Aavisee Arain.t Compromise.

Tokio, Aug. 25.-The Japanese news paper Jiji declares that any compro- mise relating to the purchase of the island of Sakhalin as reimbursement for the cost of war would leave Japan loser, as both items are vitally impor- tant and a compromise Is impossible The paper says:
 Peace concluded in such form can not satisfy us and cannot be solid Rupture would be preferable to such sacrifice. Prolongation Of the war means hard struggle on our part but we would rather suffer any hard ship than consent to reduction or all iteration of our demands"
 The Nichi Nichi favors a continuation of the war over imperfect peace, say ing:
 No sacrifice is too great to secure perfect peace in the Orient, for which we are fighting. There is not dis senting voice in the empire against carrying out our purpose whatever sac- ritices may be entailed."

FIGHTING CHOLERA.
PrussIan Authorities are at War
 Against the Pest.

Against the Fest.
 Danzig, Prussia. Aug. 25. The au- thorities have failed to discover any new cases of Asiatic cholera at culm. West Prussia, or elsewhere in the ter ritory adjacent to the Vistula River stations have been established along the river near the Russian frontier for the purpose of inspecting and limiting the river traf1c. This action has been taken because, as stated in these dis patches yesterday. the disease was brought to Culm by two Russian rafts- men who died of 1t. The supposition, however, Is that these two cases were survivaIs of the last cholera epidemic. Since that epidemic, a system of in- spection has prevailed In Southern Rus sia. Middle Russia and Asiatic Russia.
 Professor Chaneemisse of Paris told the Medical Academy recently that Flu rope was in danger of a cholera epi- demic from the east. and that Western Prussia was a possible inlet for the disease The medical authorities of Prussia, therefore. have taken vigorous hold of the situation and will adopt every means to prevent the spread of the disease

Washington, Aug. 25.-(Special.)-- The Washington Times, owned by Frank Munsey, the magazine publisher. a partisan Republican newspaper. in an article on the Booker Washington . Wanamaker dinner, this evening had this to say:
 How unfortunate. how sad 1t is that MT. Washington has himself upset the public confidence in him and his work at Tuskegee. He has gained nothing by dining with white people. On the contrary, he has lost a great deal. as witness the statement that every news paper in his home State has condemned him roundly Even if MT.

 migration Undesirable.
 Buffalo, N. Y. Aug. 25.-The Forest CTS of America, in biennial convention here. today unanimously passed a reso- hutton favoring exclusion of Japanese from the United States on the same lines as the present Chinese exclusion. The resolution was introduced by E. I. Wolfe, of California. MT. Wolfe is president pro tempore of the California Iapanese Exclusion Society. He ex- plained that the resolution was directed only against the Japanese and Korean coolie element, which. he said. is as detrimental as Chinese coolie immigra- ton. They have even gone Into the contracting business in California, he said. and cited an instance where a Japanese contractor built a house for S4BO0 where an American could not do 1t for less than $6,500.

Costa Ricn.
 Washington. Aug. z5.--The Costa Rica legation in Washington has re- celved an official cabIegram. dated yes- terday, which conveys the information that on the recent presidential cleo tions no one of the candidates ob- tained the necessary majority.
 MT. Calvo, the Costa Rican Minister, says that there was much division of opinion, not precisely on questions or principle, but about the candidates. all of whom he characterizes as liberal, progressive men. MT. CaIvo believes that there might be a compromise among the parties before the electoral college meets. If not. congress will have to decide the election.
 The cabIegram did not mention any disturbances and this.. in the opinion of the minister. is evidence that al- though excitement may have run high no serious disturbances have occurred.

The AnnIo-Inn Treaty.

London. Aug. 25.-Tne Associated Press has good reason for stating that new Anglo-Japanese treaty of alli- ance has been signed but the Associa~ ted Press understands that the treaty was signed some days ago. There Is no reason why 1t should not be signed prior to the conclusion of the Ports mouth conference, as the action of that conference viii not affect its terms.
 The new treaty Is broader in scope in some respects than the former treaty, notably where 1t includes the recoSnition by Great Britain of a Jap anese protectorate over Korea and on other points which 1t was not neces- sary to include in the oId treaty. In some respects the new treaty con- tains limitations as compared with the other treaty; for instance. the latter contained a clause to the effect that

Anxiety at Paris.

Paris, Aug. 25.-A sentiment Of ueep anxiety prevails In official quarters here concerning the outcome of the Ports mouth conference. owing to the receipt of discouraging advices. Private re- ports received through oficial chan nels show that Grand Duke Vladimir uncle Af the Emperor, is casting ms powerful influence in favor or peace uut that, owing to his personal unpopu- larity the war element appears to be strongly in the ascendancy.
