CZAR AND JAPAN.

Those who predict trouble in the near
future between Japan and Russia and who
decline 10 believe IN the maintenance Of
peace between these two powers will
have their impressions in this connection
strengthened by the action Of the Cabinet
~ St. Petersburg in authorizing the city
of Odessa 70 give some other name to a
street OF that city which until now had
borne the name of Count Witte. The
authorization was conceded in response to
an urgent demand by the municipality of
this the commercially most important city
of the empire. which based its request on
the fact that Count Witte by means of the
treaty Of peace which he had negotiated
with Japan AT Portsmouth. NJ H. had
inflicted incalcula bic injury on HIS native
land The mark of displeasure thus in
ficted by Premier Stolypin and by the Car
himself upon Count Witte in this matter
affects not only that statesman but also
japan, which will see therein an indication
Of the real sentiments and projects Of
Russia and will more than ever prepare
for a renewal Of the sanguinary war of FIVE
years ago.

1870 o'clock. and the burial will be at Bridge
port. Conn. DIR. Richards was to have con-
Quoted services yesterday at the funeral
of William Fl. H. Moore. who for fifty
years had been an elder OF the Brick
Church.
DR.. Richards who was born in Boston on
December %, 1S53 was the son of the Rev.
George and Anna Richards. He was grad
uated from Yale in the class of 1875, and
later studied at Columbia Law School.
After that he entered Andover Seminary.
from which he was graduated in 1879. He
then accepted a call from the Central Con-
gregational Church, of Bath, Me, where his
pastorate lasted five years. 1t was in 1854
that call came to him from the Crescent
Avenue Presbyterian Church, of Plainfield.
N. j. He accepted it and began his pas
torate there at once, remaining in Plain
field for eighteen years.
In 1902 DR.. Richards was called to the
Brick Church after the death of the pastor,
the Rev. Maltbie d. Babcock, his name
having been proposed by the Rev. Dr.
Henry van Dyke. who had formerly
been pastor of the Brick Church. DR.. van
Dyke characterized DR.. Richards "a
courteous gentleman, splendid preacher
and possessed of strong personality" On
October Is, 1902 he formally installed
as pastor, and held the charge up to the
time of his death.
DIR. Richards a member-of the Scroll
and Key Society at Yale, and was active
in the social life of the college. One of his
sons, George II. Richards. is Yale gradu-
ate. Besides being a member of Yale Uni
versity Corporation. DR.. Richards was a
member of the council of New York Uni
versity, a director of Union Theological
terian Board of Foreign Missions. In 1896
he was vice-moderator of the General AS
semby, and was also moderator of New
York Presbytery for some time. He was
also a member of the New England Society,
the Sons of the Revolution and the Cen
tury, Yale and Quill clubs.
The universal testimony of those who
spoke of the death of DR.. Richards yester-
day was that the Presbyterian Church had
lost one of it's strongest, best beloved and
most useful clergymen.
