PREPARING FOR CoNGREss.-The heads of
departments at Washington are briskly en-
gagged in preparations for the opening of the
next session of Congress. Secretary Cobb
has been for some weeks preparing his Treas
ury Report, which will be looked for with
considerable interest, in view of the present
agitation of the question of the revision of
the Tariff. 1t is believed, however, that Mr..
Cobb will recommend but a slight if any
modification Of the existing law. 1t is un-
d%erstood that the Report from the Indian
Bureau will recommend that the present
:" reservation system be abolished, so far
as it applies to California.
READY FOR THE PREss.-The Quarter-mas-

Lodges and 1928 members Tennessee 174
Lodges 100 members Georgia 221 Lodges
and l2,O27 members and South Carolina
90 Lodges, and !, 100 members. The mum
Der of Free Masons in the United States is
probably much greater than this table shows,
as there are many to be found every where
who are not affiliated with any Lodge. The
law of the fraternity is said to be, "once a
Mason always a Mason"
A few years ago a negro living near Gym
