Lodge /. o. 0. T. OF the United States con-
vened here to-day, $50 delegates being pre-
sent, including two Past Grand Sires.
The report OF the Grand Sire says:
"Whilst the annual returns exhibit an
increase in lodges and encampments, and in
the amount paid for relief. over last year.
they indicate, for the first time since 1868. Il
falling Off in membership and revenue. The
annual loss to the order, in prosperous rs
well as in adverse times, OF members for
pon-paymcnt Of dues is Il subject
cminenlly worthy Of the best consid-
Grafton that we can give it; and
whilst large accessionS Of new and
untred material are being constantly
added to our numbers, we find them occa-
sionalIy counterbaanced, especially so at
the present time, by the loss OF members
who, through neglect or inability, are
dropped or suspended for the above cause.
The general returns give the following con-
dition OF the order ut present, as compared
with the last annual report: Grand lodges,
4S; subordinate lodges, G,S71-increase,
1880; grand encampments, 80; subordinate
encampments, 1,S35-increase. 90; lodge
limitations, acknowledgements, 1850; lodge
members, 447,1S6-dccrease, $3.50; en-
campment members, S4.787-decrease, 3.
99S: total relief, SI,7O5. 2GG. 71-increase,
ID, TS1.G9; total revenue, S4,423, 051.S5-
decrease, SGG,S20.G1." ....
After the reading Of the usual reports the
various committees were announced, ant
the Grand Lodge adjourned until to-mor'
row. No representatives are present from

BERLIN, September 1G.-Thc debate
opened in the Rcich>tag to-day on the anti
Socialist bill. RcichensperScr, the Ultra
monlane leader, opposed the bill, but said
his friends would not meet in purely mega
tive spirit. Bebel (SocialisD denied that
there was any connection between the at
temDts against the Emperor's life and So
calism. He declared the Socialists did not
desire the abolition Of property. but
only its modification. Count Won Eulen
bergh showed that Modelling had declared
himself Socialist. The Socialist press had
defended him and 1Ioedel, and had ap-
proved the recent murders in Russia. Bam-
bengcr LibcraD supported the bill. lie
thought Bebel's speech was IN incontroyert-
ible proof or the necessity for taking niea'
sures against Socialism. He desired that
the bill, however, should be limited in lis
operations 10 certain time, and should be
otherwise amended, and lie moved its refer
ence to committee. The debate was ad
journed.

O'Clock last night by six armed men. Two

packets Of the two passengers and the mall
sacks, the two messengers. who were riding
about two hundred yards in rear Of Il 9
coach, came up. dismounted, and crept up
within fifteen yards Of the robbers, when
