SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, December 81
The law passed at the last session ct
the legislature prohibiting parading
with arms and ammunition by all the in
dependent military societies and Or
ganizations in this state will, in ac-
ccrdance with an order issued by Ad-
jutant General Reese, bs vigorously
enforced after today. The law affects
the Ancient Order of Hibernians and
other Irish societies, the Polish
Friendly society and several other Or
ganizations. Under strict construc-
tion of the law even members Of semi
military secret societies, such as
Knight Templsrs and the uniform
rank of the Knights of Pythias, cannot
parade at funeral with side arms. In
addition organizations are also pro-
hibiting from wearing uniforms that
in any way resemble those OF state or
federal troops. Under the law the
governor is absolutely shOrn of power
to grant even temporary permission of

Sherman will Retire.

WASHINGTON, December 31.-The
cat is out of the bag today regarding
the actual relations of John Sherman
with administr alton. Mr.. Sherman,
it is positively stated will leave the
cabinet as soon as the Ohio legislature
definitely decides the senatorship for
the coming six years. He will retire
whether Senator Hanna wins or not,
giving as his reason his enfeebled con-
dition, making it impossible after so
long a public career to give further
service to his country, and recognizing
the necessity of giving way to q more
active man to cope with the numerous
important problems that now confront
the United States. Secretary Sherman
has only remained in the cabinet on
the general remonstrances of the
president who feared his retirement
night have come effect in antsgoniz-
ing the power the Sherman following
has in Ohio to the administration.

Giles that the E.stern squadron Of the
Greek feet, which will shortly be rein
forced by the ironclad Spetezia, was
planning an important movement.
This is probably directed against Sa-
lonica. If this is made with dispatch,
it is quite possible that tho Greek ships
could reach the gulf and shell the town
Il Salonica before the Aegean squad
ron Of the Turkish fleet could inter
vtne. The object of such a lombard
m"nt would be to cut Off the Mace
DOMAIN line of supplies to Edhem
Pasha's camp ut Elassona. Should the
Greek troC1,> olvance from Damasl to
Elassona the line of Turkish supplies
could be cut at that point and render
the naval movement unnecessary.
Taking a general survey of the field

evenly divided, but the chances for the
