Arter, ex-president of Golden Gate Council and ex-president of the San Francisco Cabinet, is already circulating bis cards announcing his candidacy for the position of senator from California to the Senate of the National Union.

L. Wolfe, who had been selected as the speaker of the evening, on behalf of the visitors, was unavoidably absent, and his place was filled by Senator J. ‘W. Cuthbert, who delivered a very in- teresting adress. He was followed by Deputy Bunting, who gave a few interest- ing statistics, showing that during 1%02 and 1901 Pacific Council never had a meeting without initiation, and where for some reason or other the councll;, could not initiate on council night meeting the candidates were initiated in some other council whose night of meeting could ac- commodate the candidafes. Out of forty- three consecutive meetings there were but three when candidates did not ap- pear. On the night of the lith inst. Golden Gate Council had a ladies’ night. The members and guests crowded the council chamber and the programme that was pre- sented was an excellent one, that was en- jeyed by every one present.
