DETAILS NOT YET KNOWN
JAPANESE PEOPLE UNIFORMED
OF THE TERMS OF THE
PEACE TREATY.

Toxic, Sept. 1.-The public contfn-
ues to be without information regard
ing the agreement of the peace en-
vGys at Portsmouth The division of
the island of Sakhalin and the waiv-
ing of indemnity are not yet publicly
known.
Despite the lack of information
many people are convinced that the
Japanese government has made sub
stantial concessions and already are
criticising and objecting. Unless the
terms prove to be better than they
were anticipated it is certain that the
compact will prove unpopular and be
bitterly assailed by the press and by
the diet, which is expected to meet
in special session shortly. The rad
ical elements are asserting that cab
met changes are inevitable. The mass
of the public is not moved There
unquestionably is a feeling of great
relief that hostilities have ended and
that the men of the great army will
return home, be disbanded and enter
the walks of peace. This feeling,
however, is without public manifesto
tions. There has been no professions,
no display of flags or other marks OF
popular jollification.
The Capital City continues normally
quiet and reports from throughout
the empire indicate a similar condi
ton.

a walk yesterday morning and that he
had only returned half an hour before
the tragedy occurred / could not my
self see the bearing Of this incident,
but | clearly perceived that Holmes
! was weaving it into the general scheme
! which he had formed in his brain.
Suddenly he sprang from his chair
and glanced at his watch. "Two
o'clock, gentlemen" said he. eve
must go up and have it out with our
friend the professor"
The old man had just finished his
lunch, and certainly his empty dish
! bore evidence to the good appetite with
which his housekeeper had credited
him. He was indeed a weird figure
as he turned his white name and his
glowing eyes toward us. The eternal
cigarette smoldered in his mouth. He
had been dressed and was seated in
an armchair by the fire.
"Well, Mr. Holmes, have you solved
this mystery YETI" He showed the large
tin of cigarettes which stood on table
beside him toward my companion.
Holmes stretched out his hand at the
same moment, and between them they
tipped the box over the edge. For
minute or two we were all on our
knees retrieving stray cigarettes from
impossible places. When we rose again
I observed Holmes eyes were shining
and his cheeks tinged with color. Only
at crisis have seen those battle sig
mails flying.
EYES," said he, 81 have solved it."

amazement. Something like a sheer
quivered over the gaunt features Of the
old professor.

that the wearer must have been very
blind and helpless when deprived of
them. When you asked me to believe
that she walked along narrow strip
of grass without once making false
step I remarked, as you may remem-
Der, that it was noteworthy perform
ance In my md 1 set it down as an
impossible performance save in the I'M
likely case that she had second pair
of glasses. I was forced, therefore, to
seriously consider the hypothesis that
she had remained within the house. On
perceiving the similarity Of the two
corridors it became clear that she might
very easily have made such mistake,
and in that case it was evident that
she must have entered the professors
room. I was keenly on the alert, there
fore, for whatever would bear out this
supposition, and l examined the room
narrowly for anything in the shape of
a hiding place. The carpet seemed con-
tinuous and firmly nailed, so dismiss
ed the idea of a trapdoor There might
well be recess behind the books. AS
you are aware, such devices are COM
mon in old libraries. / observed that
books were piled on the floor at all
other points, but that one bookcase
was left clear. This, then, might be
the door. 1 could see no marks to
guide me, but the carpet was of a
dun color, which lends itself very well
to examination. | therefore smoked q
great number Of those excellent ciga-
rettes, and l dropped the ash all over
the space in front of the suspected
bookcase. It was a simple trick, but
exceedingly effective. 1 then went
downstairs, and I ascertained In your
presence, Watson, without your per-
ceiving the drift Of my remarks, that
Professor Corams consumption Of food
had increased-as one would expect
when he is supplying second person.
when, by upsetting the cigarette box,
obtained a very excellent view Of the
floor and was able to see quite clearly
from the traces upon the cigarette ash

kins, here we are at Charing Cross, and
/ congratulate you on having brought
your case to a successful conclusion.
You are going to headquarters, no
doubt. I think, Watson, you and
will drive together to the Russian en-
bassy."

'sYes, sir, it is a crushing blow" said
the old man. 'That is my magnum
opus-the pile of papers on the side ia
BILE yonder. 1t is my analysis OF the
documents found in the Coptic monas-
ferries of Syria and Egypt, a work
which will cut deep at the very founda-

not trouble you with any lengthy cross
examination, Professor Coram, since
gather that you were in bed at the
time of the criale and could know moth

What do you imagine that this poor
fellow meant by his last words, The
professor-it was she?"
The professor shook his head

Of that class. l fancy that the poor

SWELL, well, you may see for your

OF course we always have the optician
clew to fall back upon, but | take a
short cut when I can get it. All, here
is the good Mrs Marker! Let us en-
joy five minutes Of instructive con-
versation with her"
may have remarked before that
Holmes had, when he liked, a peculiar
ly ingratiating way with women and
that he very readily established terms
Of confidence with them. In half the
time which he had named he had cap
tured the housekeeper's good will and
was chatting with her as if he had
known her for years.
Eyes, Mr. Holmes, it is as you say.
sir He does smoke something terrible.
All day and sometimes all night, sir.
I've seen that room of a morning-well,
sir, you'd have thought it was London
fog. Poor young Mr.. Smith, he was
smoker also, but not as bad as the pro-
fessor. His health-well / don't know
that it's better nor worse for the smok
ing"
All" said Holmes, "but it kills the
appetite"
well, don't know about that, sir"
81 suppose the professor eats hardly
anything?"
"Well, he is variable. TIL say that for
him"
'.I'll wager he took no breakfast this
morning and won't face his lunch after
all the cigarettes saw him consume"
"Well, you're out there, sir, as it hap
pens, for he ate remarkably big
breakfast this morning. 1 don't know
when I've known him make better
one, and he's ordered good dish Of
outlets for his lunch. I'm surprised
myself, for since came into that room
yesterday and saw young Mr.. Smith
lying there on the floor 1 couldn't bear
to look at food. Well, it takes all sorts
to make world, and the professor
hasn't let it take his appetite away"
We loitered the morning away in the
garden. Stanley Hopkins had gone
down to the village to look into some
rumors of strange woman who had
been seen by some children on the
Chatham road the previous morning.
AS to my friend, all his usual energy
seemed to have deserted him. had
never known him handle case in
such a half hearted fashion. Even the
news brought back by Hopkins that he
had found the children and that they
had undoubtedly seen a woman exact
ly corresponding with Holmes descrip-
ton and wearing either spectacles or
eyeglasses failed to rouse any sign Of
keen interest. He was more attentive
when Susan, who waited upon us at
lunch, volunteered the information that
she believed Mr. Smith had been out for

his life? This gentleman speaks OF
as easy to be mistaken on such a
point AS to the knife, it might well
be thrown far from the unfortunate
man as he fell. 1t is possible that
speak as a child, but to me it seems
that Willoughby Smith has met his
fate by his own hand"
Holmes seemed struck by the theory
thus put forward, and he continued to
walk up and down for some time, lost
1R thought and consuming cigarette
after cigarette.
TELL me, Professor Coram," he said
Mt last, "what is in that cupboard in
the bureauw
Nothing that would help thief
family papers, letters from my poor
Mife, diplomas of universities which
have done me honor. Here is the key.
You can look for yourself"
Holmes picked up the key and look

''No; hardly think that it would

to go quietly down to your garden and
turn the whole MATTER over in my

have put forward We must apologize
Tor having intruded upon you, Pro
6ess0r Coram, and promise that we
wont disturb you until after lunch
AT o'clock we will come again and

Holmes was curiously distract, and

path for some time in silence.

CAR VERY Thankful

TlRELY TO PRESIDENTS
PERSONAL EFFORTS.

Oyster Bay, L. l., Sept. 1.-En2
peror Nicholas of Russia has recog
nized gratefully the great part which
President Roosevelt played in the sue
cessful negotiations for peace. In a
cablegram received by President
Roosevelt during the day Emperor
Nicholas congratulated and thanked
the president for his efforts. The ca
blegram follows:
Accept my congratulations and
earnest thanks for having brought the
peace negotiations to successful con
clusion, owing to your personal ener-
getic efforts. My country will CRATE
fully recognize the great part you
have played in the Portsmouth peace
conference
That the Russian emperor should
thank President Roosevelt for his eff
forts to insure peace between Russia
and Japan was to have been expected,
but it is particularly significant that
in his cablegram Emperor Nicholas
extended to President Roosevelt his
earnest thanks for having brought
the peace negotiations to successful
conclusion" The dispatch is regarded
as one of the most remarkable of its
kind ever sent by the head of one ma
ton to that of another.
Congratulatory messages by the
score are yet pouring in upon the
