London, Aug. 1.-Considerable prog.
ress Is being made with the new An
glo-Japanese treaty OF alliance, which
the foreign Office hopes will be con
cluded at an early date. Some OF the
details have not been fully settled, but
1t can definitely be stated that the
terms will be decidedly more compre
hensive than those governing the
present alliance. The treaty will be
promulgated as soon as completed
there being desire on the part OF the
British government to make its pub
lication dependent on the conclusion
OF peace.
AS to the suggestions that Great
Britain should advise japan to be
lenient the Associated Press learns
that the British government pre-
sumption is that it's advice will be
asked by Japan in the course OF the
peace negotiations and that it will
then gladly offer what counsel may
seem to it best calculated to assure a
permanent peace.

Negotiations for Settlement Of Russo

tions for the settlement Of Russo.
American tariff difficulties are advanc-
ing steadily. Russia is willing to with.
draw the retaliatory duties on Amer
lean machinery, ETC., which weigh hard
on Russian industry and commerce,
and only seeks acknowledgment OF the
exceptional nature of the retaliatory
duties imposed by her on sugar, Amer
ican exports of which are not apt to
become an important commercial fac
tor.
Certificates of origin necessarily ex.
acted on machinery imported from
other countries is also burdensome
formality and M. Witte, who was min
lister OF finance when the duties were
imposed and who was consulted be-
fore Neaving for the United States,
agrees as to the advisability of settling
the dispute.
The ministry of finance hopes to be
able to arrange readjustment and to
interchange notes on the matter with
out having recourse to commission
and the wish Is frankly expressed that
a settlement might be arrived at III
time to be announced during the peace
negotiations.

RESULT OF QUARANTINE.
Much Distress Among italian Resi-
dents Of New Orleans.

New Orleans, Aug. Much dis
tress is beginning to appear among the
Italian population growing out OF the
practical expulsion of the fruit bust
ness from Louisiana on account OF
quarantines and relief work is one OF
the tasks which the Italian societies
and citizens committees will now have
to address themselves to. While the
six-day detention order of the board
of health lasts 1t Is expected that all
the lines which have been operating
fruit steamers into New Orleans will
divert their ships to Mobile and this
will have the effect of throwing sew
eral thousand laborers, many of them
Italians, out of employment.
A meeting of representative Italians
has been held and permanent organ
and of education into the hygienic re-
1uirements of the situation has been
decided on It was also resolved to
follow the advice telegraphed by Am
bassador Mayor des Planches and to
address all Italians in the city verbally
and by circular asking them to pay
ready obedience to the regulations I'M
posed by the health authorities.
While the feeling here is constantly
growing more hopeful there is ap-
parently no abatement of the excite
ment and panicky feeling In the coun-
try districts OF Louisiana and Missis-
sippi. Local business houses are be-
ginning to feel the effects of the scare.
Guarantees everywhere are being
drawn tighter. Even gasoline is barred
from Vicksburg A number of the
towns In Louisiana and Mississippi are
cutting themselves of from the world
and the shotgun quarantines are being
extended. Guards and inspectors are
multiplying and making travel increas-
ingly difficult.

HAVE NOTHING TO SAY.
Jap ENJOYS Refuse to Discuss N
Witte's Interview.


Witte's Interview.
New York, Aug. 1.-The reported
interview with M. Witte. the Russian
peace plenipotentiary, on board the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, published
here during the day, was read at the
headquarters of the Japanese peace
commission, but no comment or state
ment was made. Mr.. SatO Of the COM
mission, who has met all inquiries for
statements during the visit of the COM
mission, said that he did not care to
discuss the matter. He said, however,
that he thought M Witte was vested
with power equal to that Of Baron Ko-
mura In the matter of negotiating a
treaty of peace.
Mr.. Sato did not understand what
was meant by NJ Witte when he said
that it would have been much better
had common basis been agreed on
by Japan and Russia before appoint
Ing peace plenipOtentiaries. He said
that no request was presented by Rus
sia, but that had she asked such a
thing Japan would probably have en-
tertained the question.
