Speculation as TO Results.

WASHINGTON, April II. Official con-
flrmation Of the press reports Of the sign
ing OF treaty Of peace between the pleni.
potentiaries of japan and China was re-
ceived by Secretary Gresham late yester-
day 1t came from Minister Dun at Toxic
and was very brief, merely stating that a
treaty Of peace had been finally concluded.
1t Is doubted whether the indemnity has
been brought down as low as Sl00, 200, 600
In gold. AS to the territory which japan
is to possess it Is understood that aside
from Formosa, which is absolutely ceded,
the remainder of the scaboard will be sub
ject only to temporary occupation, prob
ably until all CT the indemnity has been
paid.
This would leave japan in temporary
possession OF the entiIJ Lao5ung penin-
sula, from Port Arthur, at the southern
extremity, clear up to Moukden, the cap
ital Of Manchuria, on tho north, and from
the Lao river, on which New Chwang is
situated, on the west, to the Corean border
on the east. This territory amounts to
about $1,000 square miles. and Is popu-
lated by about 1000, 900 people.
The report OF condition that there
shall be an alliance offensive and de-
fensive, between Japan and China, is not
credited in japanese circles, where IL Is
not believed to have been even suggested.
1t Is said that the feeling between the two
peoples Is SO hostile, and the differences Of
government and habit are SO pronounced.
that, even IL such a stipulation were ins
cluded, 1t would not be expected to have
any great binding force should China
hereafter be able to find a powerful ally
among the European powers.
On the other hand, some OF the diplo-
matte body here are inclined to believe
that the alliance has really been made
with an earnest purpose to execute it.
They see in it the realization of the proph-
ecy Of eminent scholars, recently made,
that these two nations would eventually
combine against Occidental methods and
commerce, and Herewith would be "the
Orient for the Orientals."
Lii Hung Chang is said to have enter
tanned strong conviction (Which he has
concealed from prudential motives las to the
wisdom Of such combination, believing
that by close alliance with Japan
China would secure an army strong in
military prowess, while Japan would Sc
cure in return practical control of the
greatest trading people of the East
OF course such contamination at this
time would mean the destruction of Euro
pean commercial interests I'm the Orient,
and 1t may be that strong opposition will
soon develop on the part OF some Of the
powers to this feature of the agreement.
1t Is noted, by the way, that this treaty
Is not final in all respects, but simply a
preliminary agreement. indicating on
broad lines the ultimate terms of the
definite treaty of peace, which may not be
perfected for months to come.

IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
St. May's Parish Bazaar Was
Opened Last Evening.
A Good Attendance and u Splendid
Entertainment Was Given.

st. Mary's parish bazaar opened In q
blaze of glory and 1t promises to be one
Of the most successful affairs ever held In
that parish, and that is saying a good
deal. The members OF the Ladies' Aid
Society may we'll feel proud OF the be-
ginning of the bazaar and they will have
reason to be pleased with the result. The
description given yesterday Of the diff
fereDt booths was very complete, but In
order to realize the real beauty OF the hall
personal visit must be paid. The many
different colors with which the booths
are draped blend beautifully under the
strong rays Of the many lights thorough.
out the hall and the costumes Of the at
tendants fosm . pretty contrast.
The attendance was very good last even
Ing and q splendid eDtertainmcnt was
given under the direction of the commit
tee appointed for that purpose, and among
the many selections was a violin and
piano duet by the Misses Labeau.
The feaGure Of the evening was the
"Bellamy Lanciers," in which eight
young ladies took part, and during the
dance they were ''looking backward."'
Prof. 4. l.. Ney's orchestra furnished mu-
sic, and this evening another entertain
ment will Re given. The booths were all
well patr onized, and II business continues
as brisk at the gypsy camp the fortune
teller will have to have several assistants.
The door prize last evening was blrrel
OF -four and was won by James Gallagher,
lad who lives At Valley Falls. This
evening the prize will be half cord Of
wood.

Train Robbery as . Fad.

The latest criminal sensation in San
Francisco has been the extraordinary dual
life led by three men, who, when their
funds ran low made train robbing expedi-
tions into the country.
They posed as young men OF leisure,
with fad for bicycle riding. They util.
lied their wheels to escape from the scenes
of their crimes, and the police never sus.
pected that the natty young fellows riding
in Golden Gate park were murderers and
train bandits for whom the country and
city officers wero searching.
Within two months these fellows robbed
three trains and one suburban resort, at
which they killed the proprietor
The stopping of the Oregon express train
ended the career OF the leader of the gang,
who was shot by the Tchama county sher'
iff. One Of these fellows is u murderer, NJ
he shot the sheriff after tho latter had
killed his companion.

A CATS GREAT LEAP.


From n window Fifty Feet In Air and
Escaped In Safety.
An incident of recent apartment house

fourth floor.
A dull red glow was soon followed by
the breaking Of window. At this instant
largo black cat with shining yellow eyes
appeared upon the sill. He hcsitated but q
moment, and then he launched himself
into space. His flight through the air was
like that Of u squirrel. His poise was per
feet, and his legs were spread out as wide
as possible. He descended in long, grace.

all Of Its proverbial nine lives crushed out
In an instant by the impact. The perpcn-
dicular distance was all Of 80 feet and the
cat landed at point about 30 feet east OF
the line of the window from which no had
leaped.

seemed 10 group together just before the
asphalt pavement was reached. For sim

recover from the shock 10 had experienced
and then, with % long draws- mcouw that
spoke only of terror and with every hair
on end, IL dashed down the brilliantly
lighted street and disappeared. New York

Through British Spe ctacIes.

LONDON, April lin an editorial this
morning The Times says that 1t Is possible
that the indemnity China is to pay Japan
according to the terms Of the peace con-
vention, Is Gl00, 000, 900 instead of 500, 0O0 q.
O0O, as reported from Shanghai, though
the first mentioned sum, the paper says,
would be n crushing fine.
Continuing The Times says that the
third clause Of the convention, that pro-
viding the retention by Japan of the ter.
ritory she has conquered east of the Liao
river, probably refers to Hal Chow, in the
province Of Kiangsu and the island Of
Yuchow, which 1t was reported the Japan
ese had occupied before the armistice was
declared.
sive and defensive alliance between Japan
and China is, The Time declares, vngue
term which will mean nothing for Japan
beyond what suits her convenience. It Is
possible that this clause covers nothing
, more than some commercial agreement.
which will undoubtedly include favored
nation" treatment from China. The ed.
itorial concludes with tho statement that
speculation as to the remote consequences
or the Eastern uphcaval would be very un-
profitable
The Chronicle declares that all offensive
and defensive alliance betwccn China and
japan Is impossible IL would be def.
nnce TO Europe and danger to the
world.
The Standard takes IL for granted that
Japan Will have to submit the draft OF the
peace treaty to the European powers, just
as Russia did after tho war with Turkey.

TALES OF THE TINES.


How Two Detectives Got In1orndtlOn Con-
cerning burglary.
Two thieves and two detectives met the
other night ut Eighth avenue and Tortieth
street, New York. The central Office men
wanted some information about IL bur
glary. They also wanted to know what the
thieves were doing and with what partic-
ular band they were training.
They separated the thieves by stepping
between them before they had ~ chance 10
converse, and they knew one mans record.
Tho other was only known 10 them as
suspect Zach detective took one Of the
men aside ant asked him full details about
the other, his name, address, business,
last job and the like.
The thieves were in dilemma. Neither
knew what the other was saying. Each
described the other, giving name, address,
business and all.
Taking care not to allow the men to get
within speaking distance, the detectives
changed places, and each said to his As-4.n !:
''1'ell me who you are, what you do,
where you live. think we want you"
Neither thief knew how his "pal' had
described him, and both told an entirely
new story, gave new name new address,
new cmploymcnt-in fact, each gave his
"paP' the lie from the start.
Again the detectives changed places and
proceeded to condemn each man out of his
own mouth and that Of his pal" Both
descriptions given were false, OF course,
and the men had thus confessed that they
had something TO conceal.
Having thus got them right, the GEN.
tral Office men asked for direct "tip''
about the burglary they were working on,
threatening both thieves with arrest il
they didn't tell what they had heard in the
thieves colony, where pretty nearly every
one knows who did the last "job."
The men who had told two lies apiece a
minute before told the name OF band and
the name OF member of that band with
great promptness, and that night q burglar
was arrested.
But the detectives did not tell in court
how they placed their hands on him.
There is nothing like little mystery
