clatlOn OF the united States and Canada met in
| egular annual session at the Metropolitan Hotel
| to-day. Some communications were read from
few members in the west withdrawing their
names from the roll of the organization because
of controversy that arose at the meeting last
year in Buffalo. The dissenting members an
nOunced their intention to organize a separate
association: but their withdrawal did not have
| any damaging effect upon the old organization
On the contrary, the efforts of the dissenters to
weaken the parent association seemed to inspire
the members of the latter to renewed efforts In
its behalf. A number of new members were
admitted to-day and the meeting was one OF
the largest that the association has ever held.
