Tor it. He is a good judge of charac-

whether or not one whom he cues
uons Is lying to him. He also has
animal courage, and an acquaintance
among the law-breaking element
This is the extent of his equipment
Newspaper reporters in large cities
know the detective thoroughly. Oueu
they undertake The task OF running
down a criminal, and beat the derec-
tive at his own game. And while
willing TO give the capable detective
fun credit, they do not eXalt him to
any plane above his fellow mortals,
Some detectives are more astuJe than
others. but the one approaching the
Sherlock Holmes type never yet has
been born. For instance, a stranger
arrives al Holmes Office. The detec-
tive gives the visitor a casual glance,
informs him as to his place of natiyi-
~, the color OF his graudmOther's
hair, the wart on his wife's nose, etc,
etc. Then he tells the stranger all
about the diamond robbery of the
night before, the patch on the rob
ber's left knee. etc, etc, again, and
with an air of one bored by such
rides directs him where TO go to re-
cover the booty. And people have
been reading such stun Tor years.

Long Distance Fighting.

From the beginning Of hOstilities
between Russia and Japan. the theo-
reucaI fighter. from a safe distance
OF thousands OF miles, has been busy.
He is busy as ever.
Naturally the war news from the
Orient is mostly nonsense" remarks
one OF these warriors, shifting battle
a1ar. Then he proceeds to set forth
the character of the news as it should
be. and OF the conduct of the oppos-
ing sides as the various generals
ought to have conceived and di-
rected it,
Not all the news from the front has
been accurate. Correspondents have
worked under difficulties unprecedent-
ed. but they have done the best posi-
bic, and certainly in the reports they
have sent there has been the SAVIOR Of
truth. The situations have not will
fully been misrepresented, nor have
uutruths been told by the correspond
enLs- Wrong Impressions have been
created not by faIsehood but By a
censorship that would not permit
much of the truth to pass. The pub
lie was not filed with bogus iuforma-
Jlon. IL was left to guess at the
truth. and some OF the guesses We're
bad.
Now, of course. the long-distauce
fighters. Including the one briefly
quoted, are cocksure concerning
various things about which they
know nothing. They criticize adj
. yerseIy the tactics of the japanese.
and are drifting toward the houted
theory that Kuropatkin did not re-
treat because necessity for doing this
+ was forced upon him. but for that H.

Washington. Aug. 7.-Considerable interest
attaches TO the prospective answer Of the
sublime Porte 10 the demand OF Minister Lesh-
man that such access TO the person Of the Sui
tan as is now enjoyed by Ambassadors be grant
ed 10 the Minister from the United States II
this request is met with an array Of precedents
on which is based a refusal and the declination
OF Turkey to send an Ambassador TO the United
States is reiterated, it is altogether likely that
secretary Hay will request Congress at the
coming session to authorize the State Depart
ment TO send an Ambassador TO any country
where It deems such course tudicious, irrespec-
tive OF whether that country sends an Ambas-
sador to Washington
Under the existing law. the United States can
send an Ambassador only TO such nations as
maintain an embassy IN Washington and
while 1t is unlikely that another instance will
arise where the State Department would deem
Il Jucicious TO send an Ambassador in the ab-
ssnce Of similar courtesy extended to this coun-
try. the adeptness with which the Sultan has
availed himself Of court etiquette to avoid a
meeting with the representative OF this coun-
Try seems 10 make it almost imperative that the
United States be represented at Coustauttnople
by one who can demand all the courtesy and
diplomatic honors usually accorded to the rep
resentatiye Of sovereign. In this connection.
il is worthy OF remark so anxious has ~the
Turkish government been TO continue condi-
