' Visit of High Priest.
Clackamas Chapter, Royal Arch
Masons, held a most enjoyable meet
ing Monday night, the occasion being
the visit to the chapter of Grand
High Priest Thomas F. Ryan. A
special car came up from Portland,
bringing about 25 members of Wash
ington and Portland Chapters. Im
promptu speeches were made, good
stories were told by a number of those
present, and Judge Ryan mado a short,
tho'ngh pleasing address. Following
the ceremonies, a spread was given the
companions, after which the visitors
left for home on their car. The affair
was ono of the most pleasing enter
tainments that has ever been given by
the Masons of this city.
At the close of the seventh consecu
tive days of fighting between Mukden
and Liao Yang the battle was still
raging, the Russians offering a stub
born resistance to the fierce on
slaught of the Japanese. The sacri
flee of life has been appalling, esti
mates of the Russian losses alone in
killed and wounded at the end of
the six day's fighting being 80,000,
while it seems not improbable that it
aggregated at that time 40,000.
Japanese reports estimate that
10,000 Russian doad were left on the
fiold of battle up to the night of Oc
tober 14, and allege that the Japanese
losses are small in comparison with
those of the Russians,
All hope of succoring Port Arthur
this season has been abandoned.
There has been an end for the
time being, of the fighting on a large
scale which began on Ocobter 9, when
General Kuropatkin announced to his
army the time had arrived for an
advance against the Japanese. Heavy
rains and consequent bad roads have
made military operations on either
side extremely difficult, if not im
possible. The interruption, according
to advioes received at St. Petersburg,
is being utilized by both the Russian
and Japanese commanders in mak
ing new dispositions of forces, and
new objective points are likely to
develop when active operations are
resumed.

below the entrance to the park and
f 1. 75, all the money on his person,

discharged.

urday and one was arrested late Sat
urday night by the officers but was
released Sunday as it was found that
he was not the man wanted.
Fled to Victoria.
L J. Merry, who is wanted by the
officers, has fled to Victoria and the
chances are against his being cap
tured. Eighteen months ago he pur
chased a lot of furniture from W. L.

afternoon he sold the goods to W. W.
Bradley, a second hand furniture

tween Fourth ' and Fifth streets.
Grave fears are entertained for his
recovery, it is thought that the nic
coughing is caused by the bursting of
an organ below the heart and so far it
has been impossible to do little or
nothing to relieve the unfortunate
man.
