have lost TO, but not more His for
tune was considerable one and such
a loss could not in any way affect him.
He had played nearly every day at one
club or other but he was cautious
player and usually rose winner 1t
came out In evidence that in partner
ship with Colonel Moran he had actu-
ally won as much as 1920 in sitting
some weeks before from Godfrey Mil
ner and Lord Balmoral. SO much for
his recent history as 1t came out at the
inquest.
On the evening Of the crime he re-
turned from club exactly at 10.
His mother and sister were out spend
ing the evening with relative. The
servant deposed that she heard him en-
ter the front room on the second floor,
generally used as his sitting room
She had lit a fire, and as 1t smoked she
had opened the window. No sound was
heard from the room until l12O, the
hour Of the return Of Lady Maynooth
and her daughter. Desiring to say
good night. she attempted to enter Eer
sons room. The door was locked on
the inside, and no answer could be got
to their cries and knocking. Help was
obtained and the door forced The un-
fortunate young man was found lying
near the table. His head had been hor-
ribly mutilated by an expanding re-
volver bullet. but no weapon of any
sort was to be found in the room. On
the table lay two bank notes for f1O
each and Ell los. in silver and gold, the
money arranged in little piles Of vary
ing amount There were some figures
also upon a sheet Of paper, with the
names of some club friends opposite to
them, from which it was conjectured
that before his death he was endeavor-
ing to make out his losses or winnings
at cards.
A minute examination of the clrcum-
stances served only to make the case
more complex. In the. first place, no
reason could be given why the young
man should have fastened the door
upon the inside There was the possi-
bility that the murderer had done this
and had afterward escaped by the win
dow The drop was at least twenty
feet. however. and bed Of crocuses In
full bloom lay beneath Neither the
flowers nor the earth showed any sign
of having been disturbed, nor were
there any marks upon the narrow strip
OF grass which separated the house
from the road.
Apparently therefore 1t was the
young man himself who had fastened
the door. But how did he come by his
death? No cne could have climbed
up to the window without leaving
traces. Suppose a man had fired
through the window. he would indeed
be remarkable shot who could with
a revolver inttict so deadly wound.
Again, Park lane is frequented thor
oughfare. There is a cab stand within
a hundred yards of the house. No one
had heard shot. And yet there was
the dead man and there the revolver
bullet, which had mushroomed out,
us soft nOsed bullets will, and so in
tiicted wound which must have caus.
ed instantaneous death. Such were
the circumstances of the Park lane
mystery. which were further compli-
Gated by entire absence Of motive,
since, as have said, young Adair was
not known to have any enemy, and no
attempt had been made to remove the
money or Yaluables in the room.

NJ. witte, president Of the Committee
of Ministers. is leaving st. Petersburg
for abroad in two weeks. This very
significant announcement is received
with the statement that he is going on
public business.
His visit was instantly associated
with the peace negotiations, and II is
possible that Emperor Nicholas has
decided if a reasonable basis for ne
gotiations is offered by Japan to make
us of the services of the ablest and
strongest personality in the empire.
It being Monday the papers print
only kilograms today but the Novoe-
Vremya makes room for a remarkable
editorial. which may be inspired depre-
eating optimism among the diploma
lists at the present moment unless
Japan under the slogan Of Asia fol
Asiatics should recognize that Russia
in her origin. history and destiny is an
Asiatic as well as a European power
and be ready to conclude not peace but
an alliance"
AN ALLIANCE PROPOSED.
The Novoe vremya adds that it has
always preached the doctrine tbs
Russia is the bulwark Of Europe
against the yellow peril" The edi'
torial attracted instant attention. Th'
paper dwells on the idea that Rusyia
barred from the West and followinl
inexorable laws must spread eastward
to reach her natural boundaries an'
warm water, refers to the ease OF he
conauests on her right flank over tn
tribes Of Turkestan and Central ASH
and concludes:

Russia must remain an Asiatic powe
as well as herself. a durable and per

Of an address by the Rev. r. A. Ell
wood at Shellpot Park yesterday af-
ternoon.
The speaker declared that he would

himself and his family because the BIZ
bic says that the one who does not
provide for his own is worse than an
inhdel. Another fourth would be de-
voted to erecting a building where
young men could be furnished with
proper amusement to keep them away
from the saloons. Another fourth
would be devoted to building detach-
ed homes for the poor people of the
city so they would not be compelled

ton would be used in establishing a

that not only were the Russian ships
