Gladstone ON a Turk.

Mr.. Gladstone, in replying recently to
q Turk who had written him concern
ing the ex-premier's views on the Ar
menian question, wrote as follows:
Il have felt it my duty to make known
that Mohammedans, including Turks,
suffer from The bad government of the
sultan, and have heartily wished sue
cess to every effort made for putting an
end to this grave evil. The last occa-
sion when l did this was at Chester,
in the month of August, when was
speaking about Armenia. Still, the
Turks and other Mohammedans are
not, so far as know, plundered, raped
murdered, starved and burned. But
this is the treatment which the sultan
knowingly deals out to his Armenian
subjects day by day. There are de-
grees in suffering and degrees in base
ness and viIlainy among men, and both
seem to have reached their climax in
the case of Armenia. / have known
and done business with Turks whom
honcred and respected, and who, be-
Iieye, did not find me an enemy. God

Russia Always Masticates the Territory

lowing the delicacy. An analogous
process is that pursued by Russia to-
ward her southern neighbors in the
far east. When the process has gone
on long enough, when everything that
is firm and strong has been carefully
obliterated by judicious treatment and
when the right opportunity occurs, the
guip is made.
For years Corea has been subjected
to this emasculating policy and be-
fore the war she had reached that
stage when she had become fit and
proper subject for passing into the
NAV of her northern neighbour. The
design of Russia had long been patent
to all onlookers. The Chinese were
well aware of it and were doing all they
could in their childish way to prevent
its consummation. But China wa. not
the only country which watched with
apprehension the action of Russia in
the Hermit kingdom. Japan had seen
oil along, far more clearly than China,
the danger that doomed in the distance
il Russia's policy should be crowned
with success. She determined, there
fore, to take the matter into her own
hands SO soon as China had declared
her unwillingness to support the re-
forms necessary to give strength and
vitality to Corea.
1t was against Russia, therefore, that
the war was more Immediately direct

action was called upon to bear the
brunt of the attack, and it may well
DE imagined with what anxiety the
somewhat unexpected course of the
contest was watched by the real enc
mics of japan at Picking. AS the Chi
nese armies were vanquished in the
field and their ships were sunk at sea
the fear of the formation of a Japan
powerful enough to check Russia's on
ward course began to weigh heavily
on the spirits OF her diplomatists. But,
fortunately for the interests of Russia,
the cars representative at the court OF
Picking, Count Cassini, is an eminently
astute and far-seeing official, and when
the supreme crisis of the war was
reached, when the enemy was within
measurable distance of Picking and
when the aged statesman, Lii Hung
Chang, was about to leave for Japan
as imperial envoy to conclude peace,
the Russian minister doubtless felt that
a GROWING effort should be made to
prevent the elixir of political life from
penetrating into either Corea or China

LONDON Oct. 3l.-The Free Masons Of Ameri-
CO will be interested to learn that the museum
OF Masonic curiosities, collected for all expose
ut the Catholic Congress at Trente. is to be kept
together and travel over the world for the en-
liRhtenment or those inside and outside OF
Free Masonry. Apart from n copious library OF
books dealing with Masonry there are docu-
ments which are produced 20 prove tho con-
tention OF the Congress orators that FREQ
Masonry 10 an anti-religious sect.
IL will surprise most Free Masons to learn
that the simple symbols used In their initial
rites not only originated In Phallic worship,
but commit them to q recognition OF DIaboiism.
Tho Neophytes. the anti-Masons say, may DO
ignorant of the symbolic significance of the
signs. but the masters know what Is meant.
For instance, thcso adopts are sHid TO be we'll
aware that the triangle represents not tho
Holy Christian Trinity, but the Indian Trinity,
wherein Satan. as destroyer, holds equal rank
with God as Creator.
The museum contains some data to support
the statements current In French and italian
newspapers that there exists somo groups OF
persons with diseased minds who are devil
worshippers. Huysman's La Bds and En- Route,
Leo Taxi, and a email school OF French nuthors,
are 10 blame for melting and exciting these
%lunAtics. Certain English papers which trace
the origin OF the new Satanic cult TO Charles
