Ruling Of the Supreme Court in
Great Litigation.
Newly Elected Officers Of Grand Lodge
Legally in Control-FactionaI Dis
pute Chiefly Based On Question Of
Extra Assessment.

Boston, July GA decision declaring
the newly elected officers of the Massa-
chusetts Grand Lodge of United Work.
men to be legally i'm control of the lodge
was handed down, today, by Judge La
throp In the Massachusetts supreme
court. This is victory for that faction
Of the lodge which favOrs secession
from the supreme body and a defeat for
those who favor adherence.
The case reached the supreme court
by the filing of a petition for writ of
mandarnus by the new officers, asking
that they be recognized as the legal OFF,
GERS and that the property of the Grand
Lodge be turned over to them. BY the
decision Of the court, John Symonds
is grand master workman, instead OF
Carlan A. Brown and Charles c. Fear
ing grand recorder, instead of ]. Ed
ward Burt. The court says that the
newly elected officers are ready to be
installed, but the officer who duty it
was to install them wrOngfully refused
to perform his duty.
The factional dispute In the Grand
Lodge was chiefly based upon the ques-
ton of an extra assessment which had
been levied by the Supreme Lodge, one
party favoring it's payment and the
other objecting to it. A serious divi-
sion followed.

DISASTROUS FAILURE
Said to Have Met Togo's Latest At
tack at Port Arthur.

st. Petersburg, July 6.-1.30 P. MA
few nights ago Admiral Togo attempt
ed to repeat the Japanese exploit with
torpedo boats at Wei Hal Wei during
the Chinese-Japanese war by sending
torpedo boat destroyers into the harbor
of Port Arthur for the purpose of sink
ing ships at their anchorages, nut the
attempt ended in disastrous failure.
Four torpedo boat destroyers sue
ceeded in creeping into the harpor
which was not protected by booms, but
only one escaped. Two were sunk by
shore batteries and one was crippled.
The reckless bravery of the japanese
in going to almost certain destruction
excites nothing but admiration here.
The channel ut Port Arthur is so tortu-
ous and strewn with wrecks without
that evidently it was regarded as I'M
practical to use boom.
In view Of the difficulty of getting In
to the harbOr, the feat is regarded as
fully as daring as that of the Japanese
at Wei Hal Wei where Japanese tor
pedO boats in a storm and covered with
ice were jumred over the boOms pro-
tcctfng that harbor and destroyed
Chinese warships. SO far as known the
Japanese torpedo boat destroyers dld
not even succeed in launching torpe-
does.
The admiralty has no confirmation
OF the report from Lao Yang OF an
engagement between the NladlVostoN
squadron and the japanese warships
off Gcnsan There is good reason to be-
lieve that the Russian squadron is safe
back in port.
The exact date of the attack Is not
ascertained but it is said to nave oc-
Cured Saturday. No further details
are obtairable. Though it is believed
other destroyers participated in the at
tack only four, however. succeeded III
getting in. The method whereby thls
information reached the authorities IS
not disclosed.
In a dispatch received here from
VIadivostok, the report does not mem
tion the Russian squadron.
