RUSSO-JAPANESE TREATY
Open Door Policy Unaffected
Assures Peace in Far East.

Toxic. July 13.-Marquis Katsura. the
Premier and Minister of Finance. denied to
day that the convention recently signed
between japan and Russia was Influenced
by Secretary Knox's proposition for the
naturalization Of the Manchurian railways
He said:
There is not the slightest foundation for
the assertions published in Europe that the
RussC-Japanese convention was the out
come of the naturalization proposition II
had absolutely no connection herewith,
nor was II directly or indirectly intended
as an answer to the United States
The convention was framed practically
long prior to any proposal affecting Japan s
interest in the railroads of Manchuria- II
was made solely with the purpose of afford
ing q reinsurance of the friendly relations
between Japan and Russia and of insuring
peace in the Far East, though at the same
time with the practical object of improv-
ing traffic connections and working ar
rangements between the railroads. II is

rival of Mr.. Jardinc on Saturday att

On SUNDAY morning the baronet en-
tered an empty frst.class carriage IN
the train arriving at Waterloo at 12.13
| AS soon as the train had left South
ampton well behind, he opened the kit,
bag with which he was travelling. and
taking therefrom small mirror and a
diminutivc makeup box, he stained his
face the curious brown waXen color
| he had noticed as the complexion OF
Mr. Jardine, aud painted the scar across
his cheek. With dark glasses, a big
! fur coat. and his arm in IL sling, he
knew that it would require far more
intimate acquaintance with Mr.. Jardinc
than the majority of people possessed
10 detect the imposturc.
Reaching Waterloo, be drove to Lupus
House, and asked TO see the Duke of
Chelsea. On hearing that tho call was
on Il business matter and guessing at
once that Mr. Jardino could only have
come on some matter relating to racing,
the duke suggested that his visitor
should Join them at luncheon, and,
pressing the invitation. added that they
could talk over any matters more COM
fortably at their leisure afterwards.
The duke knew Mr.. Jnrdinc by sight,
for he had seen him once or twice on
y:-ious race courses. and the scar, the
fur coat, the limp and the arm IN the
sling were quite sufficient to make him
believe he was really speaking TO the
owner of Ilarvestgate. And rs he had
never set eyes on the mau except on Il
raco course, he had no idea what he
looked like without his fur coat; al
though. in thinking the matter over
afterwards. the duke remembered that
he had been struck at the time with
the appearance OF his visitor. aud had
been surprised that partially para
lived invalid should still possess such
4 wcIl-sct.up pair Of shoulders. His Wis
itor limped across the hall to the din
ing room, the duke iustinctivcIy slack
ening his steps TO keep pace with the
cripple he was escorting. Luncheon
passed Of without mishap or contre-
temps, but the conversation was largely
on racing matters. OF which Sir John
had little more than superficial knowl-
edge Finally, he confessed that he did
not pretend to take any great interest
IN horse racing. and knew very little
more than his trainer told him.
"As Il matter Of fact, duke he
added, ''l bought my horses because L
heard on every side of the great ex-
citement of racing; but il IS not what

many checks to me. IL j had bred them,

Lunch over, the ladies left the table,
and the duke and his visitor returned
to the library
The duke motioned the footman out
of the room.

II was certainly the sensation of tho
wear in the racing world; and for many
1 season afterwards the audacity of
the coup was commented upon by rae,
ing journalists. And it all happened
quite BY accident. The gods Of chance
nearly always PLAYED into the hands
Of the uurighteous.
1t was the Monday week before the
Derby. and Sir John Kynnersley was
strolling in HYDE park with friend.
They met and passed 4 solitary indi-
sidmal. muftled up To his ears In II
heavy fur coat, in spite of the warmth
of the day. He was clean -shaven. but
his face wore the yellow unhealthy ap-
pearance of one who had resided i'll
India for half n lifetime, and he had
the unhappy look of the chronic In
valid. A livid scar crossed his cheek +;
but what chiefly struck Sir John s at
tcutiop was that he walked with 4
limp. worc colorcd spcctaclcs, and car
ried Uno arm in a sling.
- Poor beggar, docsn I be look miscr-

the ma man he was walking with.

him, and then standing to light cigar
as The ether waited at the corner FOR

John managed to photograph upon his
mind every detail of the other S ap-
pearapcc.
1t WIS the common knowledge that
John Jardinc, the owner of Harvest
gate, the favorite for the classic race,
had made a huge fortune tea planting
in Assam, aud wear or two ago had
been bought out by one Of the new
mammoth joint stock supply companies.
Since then the old planter had lived in

the huge yacht slowly left her moorings
and passed down the Soleut.
Sir John watched her lights out OF
sight, aud then returned TO town by
the very first train. Some of the notes
he turned into gold at the bank, others
he disposed Of TO professional money
changers, and before the end of the
afternoon he had got rid of them all.
The gold he took TO his rooms, pay

wife that he wondered what ON earth

doing together. About lunch time the
first edition OF the London evening pa
pers were delivered, and the trainer
was tlmndcrsiruck TO sec a notice 10

at the writing table and wrote out the

morrow. Please attend to any wishes

Sir John that the appearance of each
man being known TO habitual racegoers,

fact chronicled in the following morn

Sir John entered the train, and di-

his bag into the cloak room at South
