MANY g. PRECIOUS
 CASES DETAINED
Germans Hope to Control the
 Cholera Epidemic
CARE TAKEN IN NEW YORK
Special instructions Are Given for tho Examination of All German Im- migrants Arriving In
 New York.

Berlin, September 1.-Forty-three cases of cholera in all have been reported. Nine persons have died from the disease and many suspicious cases are under ob- servation. The legal and medical machin- cry for dealing with this invasion of the Asiatic bacillus Is now working with full pressure.
 Prof. Edward Sonenburg said to the Associated Press tonight that no one need fear an epidemic, such as that of 1S92-93 because the health authorities since that time had built Up an organization quite adequate to grasp the beginning of chol- era, and to pull down the disease with precision and firmness.
 The health machinery to which Profess sor Sonenburg alludes Is working in CO., operation with the police and other pub lie services. With the exception of the one death at Hamburg, the cholera is confined to the west Prussian district. The state has now detained under medi- cal observation nearly 1000 persons, in- cluding emgrants at Brunshaven.
 If the same agencies and the same spirit were at work beyond the Russian from tier the Prussian health authorities would feel satisfied with what Is being done A doubt, almost amounting to conviction, exists that the Russian administration has not yet been aroused to the danger, and that its task of dealing with the problem is much more difficult than that which confronts the authorities here.

Misunderstanding Over FOTtify-
 ing of Sakha|in Island
TREATY ABOUT FINISHED
Japan Fears for Effect of the Peace Terms When They Become Known Throughout the
 Empire. L.

Portsmouth, September 1.-The only possible hitch on the horizon of the peace conference according to reports current here, which, however, are not officially confirmed. arises out of an evident mis- understanding over the question of the naturalization of the island of Sakhalin.
 According to the Japanese the under standing reached on Tuesday contem- plated a mutual obligation on the part of the two countries not to fortify their respective possessions on the island At St. Petersburg, however, there seems to have been an assumption that the agree ment involved freedom of action on the part of Russia in this respect in the north of Sakhalin, with an obligation on the part of Japan not to fortify or use for strategic purposes the portion owned by her before 1876, which is to be retro ceded in the present treaty.
 It is expected on both sides. however. that the hitch, if 1t really exists as re- ported, will shortly be strengthened out, and it is believed that one of the subjects of tonight's conference related to this point.

UNIVERSITIES TO OPEN.
Repetition of Student Troubles In St. Petersburg Is Expected.

St. Petersburg, September 1.-In accord ance with the imperial order of April 29 the ministry of education Is preparing to open September 14 all the universities and higher institutions of learning, which have been closed since February. when the students struck and refused to con- tinue their studies until political reforms and notifications of the administration of the universities were granted.
 A repetition of the troubles is antici- pated, as although large numbers of stu- dents will desire to resume tfSir studies have made application to do so. the radi- cal element especially and socialistis league will undoubtedly try to prevent the reopening of the universities. etc., es- pecially since the government has made no change in the administrative regula- tiOns.

Japan Fears the Result.

Portsmouth. N. H.. September 1.-Cable communication between Baron Komura and his government has been interrupted for the greater part of the day, but a message Is said to have been received late tonight. Baron Komura and MT. Takahira were in conference for a long time to- night. It Is understood to be the present intention of the Tokio government not to make public the conditions of peace until the notifications of the treaty have been exchanged.
 The official explanation is that this Is the regular diplomatic method of pro- cedure," but among the Japanese corres- pondents considerable suspicion has been aroused by the fact that until now their cablegrams giving the terms of peace have not passed the censor. They do not hesi- tate to say that the government Is anx- ious about the effect on public opinion, when 1t becomes known that Japan waiv- ed her demand for indemnity to obtain peace.

VIII Roosevelt Accept Another
 Nomination for President?
THINK DECLARATION STANDS
The President Has Said Positively That Under No Circumstances Will He Again Be
 Candidate.

Washington, September 1.--(speeial)- Politicians have been agreed for several days past that a natural outcome of the storm of congratulations now being show cred upon President Roosevelt would be a demand from some quarter, hysterical in nature perhaps. for his renomination for another term. No well informed pollti- clans, however have permitted this prob- ability to worry them. for they believed that the clamor would be ephemeral and only an evidence of the emotional disposi- ton of the American people. They could not conceive that 1t could possess any deep significance.
 In the first place. they say there is President Roosevelt's own statement to the contrary. When the returns came in on the night of November last, indicat- sued this formal statement from the White House;
 Made Formal Statement.
 T am deeply sensible of the honor done me by the American people in thus ex- pressing their confidence In what I have
 
 to the full the solemn responsibility this confidence reposes on me, and I shall do all that lies in my power not to for felt 1t.
 "On the 4th of March next I shall have served three and one-half years, and this three and one-half years constitutes my first term. The wise custom which limits the President to two terms regards the substance and the form. Under nc circumstances will I be candidate for or accept another nomination"
 When that statement was issued 1t was accepted throughout the country in the plain terms of the English language IT which 1t was touched. It was commend, ed on all sides by citizens and voters ant probably brought specific joy to a number of distinguished politicians who were look ing ahead to 1908. The President has upor at least one occasion since then denied that there could be any circumstances which would cause him to stultify himself in the lglH of this formal announce ment.
 Stand for Declaration.
 Politicians will continue to stand by the Presidents original declaration. and will can be carried off his feet by an appre- citation of his efforts in the cause of hu- manity. It is regarded as certainty thai the peace negotiations will have no pos sible effect upon presidential politics ir the United States in the year 1908 so fai as President Roosevelt personally Is con cerned.

LONDON INCLINED
 ID BLAME JAPAN Yielded Indemnity and Gave Up
 Rich Territory ROOSEVELT STILL PRAISED Outlook Credits the Recent Anglo Japanese Agreement With secur. ing the Unexpected Result
 at Portsmouth.
ROOSEVELT STILL PRAISED

London September 1.-The result of the Portsmouth conference is discussed by the morning papers. and the consensus of opinion is expressed in the Outlook. which says:
 yielded; In the matter of Sakhalin she al- lowed herself to be out-generalled.'
 At the same time the general opinion is that in yielding half of Sakhalin Japan may have been credited with excellent po- litical foresight which will not be recog- nised at once by the mass Of Japanese.
 Like the daily newspapers, the reviews. even those which seldom lose an oppor- tunity to express anti-American or anti Roosevelt opinion, give the President un- stinted praise for his share in the nego- tiations. The Speaker. an organ of the liberal party, says:
 Those who like ourselves always mis- trusted President Roosevelts policy and blamed him for certain definite acts, yield to none in recognizing the great service he has rendered the world, and the grati- tude to which he is entitled. It is to his untiring energy and refusal to despair of the successful outcome of the conference that peace Is largely due"
 The Outlook says:
 Grateful to Roosevelt.
 For this achievement President Roose- welt has received the gratitude and ad- miration of the rulers and people of the world In overhowing measure. Such praise has never before been lavished on an American President. Both for him self and his country President Roosevelt has won a position of unique and com manding authority"
 In connection with a discussion of the future effects of the peace terms, which all the weekly publications agree must n can an entire re-alignment of Europe, the Anglo-Japanese treaty Is given con- siderable space and Is credited with be- ing the preponderating influence in se- curing the agreement at Portsmouth, The Outlook says:
 We shall say at once the principal factor in securing the utterly unexpected result was the renewal of the Anglo Japanese agreement"
 The Speaker criticizes the clause of the new treaty which binds either country to help the other In case of attack by a third. because flor the present the best guarantee against the aggression of European powers In the far east Is the undisputed preponderance of Japan and that guarantee is weakened by an ar rangement which puts peace In the far east at the mercy of quite irrelevant quarreis elsewhere

 President Godchaux of the Progressive Union today received an inquiry as to whether New Orleans would participate in the proposed quarantine and immigra- tion convention at Chattanooga. MT. Godchaux answered expressing doubt as to whether immigration and quarantine should be combined, and said he thought the convention ought to be held on the Gult coast. However, New Orleans will participate in any convention of the south that may be called.
 The question of national quarantine is looming larger every day as the fever spreads to the smaller towns and injur- Ing their business as 1t has that of New Orleans and bringing home to them the seriousness of irrational restrictions. President Schwing of the Louisiana Press association has urged the country papers throughout Louisiana to take up the oues- tion for discussion.
 Tt does not appear that the old cry of states rights can be used against this proposition" he writes Ut ought to be states interests that should be the con- trolling factor in the advocacy or oppo- sition to such a plan.
