The session was epened with the celebra- tion of Holy Communion by Right Rev. Leighton Coleman, D., Bishop of Delaware.

Officers will be elected during the week. Several amendments to the constitution were proposed, and they all evoked con- siderable discussion. ~ The following amendment in relation to charters was the first to be adopted: Article II, section 2. (a) Chapters thus formed shall send to the secretary of the council their names, locations, dates of organization, list of | officers and chapter members, and certification that the constitution has been adooted, to- gether with a registration fee of 50 cents per capita of the charter members. In return the chapter shall be granted a charter and num- ber, be enrolled among the chapters of the order and each member shail receive a copy of the constitution and form of admission. (1) The same amount shall also be sent to the secretary of the council on or before the date of admission for each<new member enrolled after the charter has been granted. In return the new member shall receive a copy of the constitution and form of admission. The increase in the membership of the order has been so great that the free dis- tribution of the Royal Cross, the official organ of the order, caused a big loss. It was found necessary to amend section 3 of article 2 so that a subscription, fee of twenty-five cents a year can be charged. It was determined hereafter to hold tri- ennial conventions. Article 5 was added to the constitution. It reads as follows: Section 1. The order shall have a convention, to_be held triennially. q Sec. 2. Sald convention shall be composed of one delegate from each chapter and one dele- gate from each diocese, which delegate shall be empowered to volce all chapters in her diocese which are not otherwise represented. There was no' definite settlement as to the place of holding the next convention.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 7.—The court-mar- tial of Captain Sloat, Seventh Infantry, N. G. C., has been concluded, and while the findings of the court will not be made public until General Last approves them ard sends them to headquarters, it is known that the captain has been found guilty of at least some of the charges. Captain Sloat would have retired in December had he, as Major Prescott carefully put it, “avoided the difficulty of a court-martial,” but, being found ity he will be punished accordingly. e can be fined as high as $100 for each offense proved, and should he be so fined he probably will prefer to offer his resigna- tion instead of putting up the necessary hundreds. —— Beating by Footpads Proves Fatal.
