Here is a strange yet absolutely true
story. IN which clock plays a mystic
rious part. 1t was a small American
timepiece which stood on a mantel-
piece in a sitting room IN Liverpool
builders house. At 11:30 one morning
the timepiece fell from the mantelpiece
to the floor when picked up Il was
found TO be quite uninjured aud still
going, as II nothing unusual had hap
pened. There seemed 10 be absolutely
no reason why It should have fallen,
but an hour later when the builder
came home TO his midday meal he re-
marked that at 11;3O he fell from the
top OF a building, but happily without
sustaining any injury. His wife then
described how the clock had fallen at
the same time, and the couple ponder
in vain over the curious and utterly
inexplicable coincidence. - Liverpool

sibility in this loan SO far as the board
Of directors Is concerned, and indicate

CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY,
Edwin s. Holmes, Late Of Agriculture
Department Arrested.

Washington, Aug. 2S. Edwin s.
Holmes, Jr, of Washington, until re-
Gently assistant statistician' Of the de-
partment of agriculture, but who was
dismissed as an outcome of the in
vestigations into the leakage in the
cotton crop reports, has been indict-
ed by the grand jury on charge OF
conspiracy to defraud the government.
This announcement was made by
United States District Attorney Nor
gan H. Beach, just after he had re-
turned from New York City, where
he had been instrumental in causing
the arrest of Frederick A. Peckham,
the New York broker, at Saratoga,
and Moses Haas, of New York. There
are two indictments covering the
charges against the three men.
Washington. - Mr.. Beach said that
Holmes, who has been away from
Washington for some time, and whose
whereabouts have not been generally
known, will be here to answer to the
indictment.
Section $40 of the revised statutes
under which Holmes is indicted, and
which 1t is understood forms the
grounds Of the charge against the
three men, provides that IL two or
more persons conspire either to COM
NIT any offense against the United
States or to defraud the United
States in any manner, and one or
more of such parties do not act to eff
feet the object of the conspiracy, all
the parties to such conspiracy shall
be liable to penalty of not less than
$1,000 and not more than $4,000 and
to Imprisonment of not more than.
two years.
The report Of the secret service
agents into the charges alleging that
advance information regarding the
cotton crop reports had been given
to cotton brokers In New York as
serted that Holmes had communicate
ed advance information to L. C. Van
Ripper, New York broker, and Moses
Haas, of New York, who Mr.. Van
Ripper said acted as go-between in
conveying information from Holmes
to other New York brokers.

Every Effort Is Being Made 10 Bring
About Peace.
EFFORTS HAVE FAILED TWICE.
Now Wants Emperor to Accept Jap
.anese Terms - Prospects Of Peace
Seems Desperate, Yet They Are Not
Given Up As Hopeless.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 26.-Up to
II o'clock last night six cablegrams
had been received by. M. White from
st. Petersburg. All came from Count
Lamsdorff and all we're opposed to the
Japanese compromise proposition as
presented at yesterdays meeting.
However 1t is positively stated that
the cablegrams announce that direct
pour parleurs are now in progress be,
tween Emperor Nicholas and Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Portsmouth. The prospects OF
peace seem desperate, but they are
not hopeless, despite the prevailing
pcssimism. There Is still chance
and the forces working for peace are
continuing their labors. The presi-
dent failed twice, but he Is fighting
on. The result of Ambassador Mey-
er's audience at Peterhof yesterday
was not satisfactory, but at least 1t
was not rebuff. It left the door open
and within a few hours after the re-
ceipt at Oyster Bay of Mr.. Meyers
account of his audience the president
had sent new appeal through Mr.
White, who received 1t from Mr..
Pierce about 3 o'clock this morning
The emperor had already In effect de-
cllned the proposed compromise Of
fered by Japan. He had refused 1t be-
cause under Disguise japan offered
to amend with an article asking for
remuneration for the cost of the war.
Had Japan not inserted the similar,
the proposition would undoubtedly
have proved more palatable. And the
Associated Press is in position to
state that the divergence in the COM
promise assumed by the president and
as offered by Japan at the conference
which was mentioned in these dis
patches last night touched this very
point. The president did not suggest
any price or the fixing of price, and
1t is believed although this conclusion
can not be confirmed, that his latest
effort was to secure the consent OF
the emperor to agree to accept the
Japanese proposition with the amount
subject to future adjustment by an
arbitration board or otherwise. Ac-
cording to the Japanese Mr.. White has
already offered to divide Sakhalin. II
the repurchase Of Sakhalin was based
upon purchasable basis the follow
ing lines from the authorized state
ment Of the Russian position given to
the Associated Press last night should
be borne In mind:
"All that Japan does Is to join the
question OF Sakhalin with that OF a
cash payment and to insist upon war
costs under the name of purchase
money. The transaction is fictitious
and the Technology misleading. If what
10 proposed be In truth a purchase

fact that every question Of principle

two countries has been settled In IA

only words and money still separ-

the verge Of fatal rupture. The air

In the most positive fashions 1t isl
declared that no Instructions had

which would permit him to entertain
