RICHARDSON WILL
 CERTAINLY RETIRE
HE TELLS MASoNs HE WILL DE- VOTE HIS WHOLE TIME TO MA SONIC OBLIGATIONS IN THE FLU TURF.

Washington. October 19-The supreme council of the thirty-third degree of An- cient and Accepted Scottish Rite Masons of the southern jurisdiction, met here today in biennial session. James D. Richardson of Tennessee, grand com mander presided. His biennial allocution in which he declared his intention of retiring from politics after his present terms in congress, and devoting himself to his Masonic obligations, was the prin- cipal feature of the day. In his address, MT. Richardson said the Masonic order was the strenuous enemy of Nihllism, socialism, communism and anarchlsm, and those who seek to breed revolts and outbreaks against the law and orders.
 He strongly urged the discontinuance of intoxicants at the public bauquets and functions of the council, and those of sub ordinate bodies.
 The grand commander reported a COIL ference recently held between the grand commanders of the northern and Cana dian jurisdiction. It was agreed that 1t was proper and desirable for the theee English-speaking councils of this contl- nent and those of England, Ireland and Scotland, making seven in all, to assem- ble by duly accredited representatives and perfect some organization by which these bodies would be drawn nearer to- gether.
 The report of Grand Secretary Weber shows that in two years 1475 received the thirty-second degree. and there are now lI,329 members owing allegiance to the southern supreme council

oLNEY ENTERS CAMPAIGN.
Writes Letter to President of Massa.
 chusetts Democratic Club.

Boston. October t9.-Although he did not personally attend the banquet of the Mas sachusetts Democratic club at the Revere House tonight, Hon. Richard olney for merly secretary of state. made his entry into the state campaign in the form of letter addressed to the president of the club. In this letter MT. Olney said he was wholly in sympathy with the plan of the Massachusetts democrats in waging the present campaign upon state issues entire- ly. He rldiculed the attempt of the repub- liean speakers to put them aside as "trivialties," and said in doing so they have adopted the same attitude upon state as upon national issues. This attitude is concisely expressed in the phrase stand pat" Such arguments, he said, would not appeal to the people. particu- larly if they had read alright the object lesson afforded by the recent scandals at Washington. The fact was that long and unbroken tenure of power by one political party was inevitably demoralizing and fatal in its usefulness.

JOHN MORLEY BACK
 IN ACTIVE POLITICS
HE TAKES HIS PLACE IN THE FIGHTING LINE AGAINST THE PRoTEcTIoNIsT PoLIcY-sPIR. TIED ATTACK.

London, October 19.-John Morley. M. F., the former liberal chief secretary for Ireland, who has been in semi-retirement while writing his Life of William Ewart Gladstone" returned to active political life tonight and took his place in the fighting line against the protectionist policy of the present government. In the historic free trade hall in Manches- ter, MT. Morley, addressing an audience which crowded the large edifice, aroused immense enthusiasm by an eloquent and spirited attack on the new policy, after which he declared he was arrayed with the whole weight of authority both practical and theoretical So crude, raw and unthought-out were the proposals launched in this country, that men of all parties, liberals and conservatives were united in opposition to them.
 The country. continued MT. Morley, had been invited to put it's ancestors, like Cobden, Bright and Peel up to cheap auction; but when he thought how right Golden and Bright had been as to free trade, the French treaty of 1860, the Cri- mean war. and the American war, he was not going to apologize for them.

PEKIN PERPLEXED
 REGARDING THE WAR
RUSSIAN VIcEROY DEMANDS 5000 ADDITIONAL TROOPS IN AN SWER TO A TELEGRAM FROM
 THE cZAR-FoRcE IF NEEDS BE.

Pekin, October 19.-Like other cities in the far east, Pekin is perplexed by the reports from various points from events pretending a Russo-Japanese war. Most of these reports on investigation prove to be unfounded. The opinion prevails here that Russia proposes to hold all she has gained in Manchuria and refrain from the present for future advances into Corea. It is also believed that Russia is convinced that no nation except Japan ing assembled fleet and army which she considers strong enough to repel any Japanese attack, she is awaiting develop ments in Japan's policy.
 A majority of the Russian ships have left Port Arthur since the maneuvers for an unknown destination, but 1t is sup posed that some of them are cruising on the shores of Corea watching Ma San Pho and other ports
 The Japanese ships. whose presence at Ma San Pho caused the report that Japan had occupied that port have sailed, prob- ably in the direction of Sag Ho, Japan.
 Use Force, If Necessary.
 St. Petersburg, Sunday. October 1S.-A story is current in military and diplomatic circles here that in answer to a telegram in which the Czar instructed Admiral Alexieff Russian viceroy in the far east, that Russian interests must be maintained by force of arms is necessary, the viceroy at once demanded 5000 additional troops.

The tales printed about his people being hungry were all lies, he said. He had 'licked" the press of Chi cago he shouted, and he would lick the press of New York. He would 'lick'' these vultures.
 Finally he came tothe promised story of revelation. He quoted scripture to show that Elijah was to come third time. A minister had told him that he was Elijah but he was loath to believe it. but, finally, after going over the sit uation carefully, he made up his mind that he was truly Elijah Then, at the opening of building in Zion two years ago, he had proclaimed himself Elijah. well knowing the fearful responsibilities Of the restoration that he must as Elijah lead
