At the opening of the services and at their close the sol- | diery present will fire the volleys usual on such occasions, and throughout the time of the entire services minute guns will boom from the river. After a prayer by the grand chaplain the grand master of Virginia will state the purpose of the assemblage and ask for greetings ar sponses from the original thirteen When the a re- ates have been given, he will turn to the representatives of the States from each section of the country—north, east, 80 1 west—and ask for tributes to the memory of him whose name they celebrate. The responses will be brief ana appropriate. At the close of the ritual, the grand masters will deposit upon the tomb evergreen wreaths and the proces- sion will march slowly by the tomb and perform a like tribute. After the bene. diction the way will again be to the man- sion. | The President will deliver the address which he had promised to make at the Mansion House. There are several feat- ures connected with Mr. McKinley ad- dress which will characterize it as unique. It is expected that the words of the Presi- dent on this occaslon will prove perhaps the master effort of a man who takes no the Presidents of | America as an orator.

Chief Justice Beatty, Ernst A. Depicke, P. Buell, F. 8. Rice, W. E. Smythe and William Thomas have prepared for circu- lation a letter in which they declare that they will not cease their efforts to se- cure members for the California Water and Forest Assoclation until they have reached the number of 25,000. These gen- tlemen are the membership committee of the association. In addition to the an- nouncement of their intentions concern ing the size of the membership they de- sire and think possible they also set forth a plan of organization work. They pro- pose to establish in every city, town and village in the State a branch of the as- sociation, with such organization such branches may determine upon. It is nee- essary, they find, that there should be 25,000 members, for the money is needed and also influence as well as membership fees. Every member of the convention of November 14 will be asked to work for the formation of a branch. When ffty signatures are secured that will be con. sidered sufficient for the formation of a locality organization. Each member of the association will | pay 83 as a membership fee. In that all shall know definitely wlla(flr\glplri { be done with the first money to be re- celved, a letter will also be sent out | week by the committee on finance ‘u’e‘&‘ | ting forth the conclusions that have been ir--n(')\\-\l in that direction.
