FURTHER ACTION TO BE SOUGHT.

FURTHER ACTION TO BE SOUGHT.
TIE FRIENDS OF THE EXPELLED MEMBER NOT SAT-
IsFIED WITH THE RESULT OF THE SPECIAL
MEETING OF THE CLUB.
Another days reflection over the matter seems to
have convinced the disconnected members OF the
Union Club that il Is not altogether as Wise as was
thought at first to leave the subject
of Mr. Loubqts reinstatement and the general
question of club reform where it was left at the adj
iOurnment of the special meeting on Tuesday night
- This affair is not ended by any means" said one
member Yesterday. " ain not at liberty to state
exactly what will he done. But something will be
done without any unnecessary delay. We GER
tanly shall not want untll next May pc
fore we make our next movement" The feeling
among tho members in opposition to the Governing
Committee had evidently reached such pitch that
they were anxious to 60 into battle again If the con-
dltlOns could he more taNOraDle thah lhey were on
Tuesday evening
James y. Plat, who has been Mr.. Loubat's legal
adviser thus far has been sick for several days and
was not present at the Special meeting 1t was
stated at his Office yesterday that he had not seen
Mr.. LOubat lately, and that 1t was not PROBABLE
that any action in the courts would he
he did not think that the adoption of the amend
ment proposed by Mr.. McAllister would have
afforded Mr. Ioubat any relief. Whether mad
vertentiy or otherwise, it was framed to apply to
cases in the future, il reads that when any
luton of expulsion shall be pronounced against
any member by the Governing Committee,
any such member may appeal special
general meeting of the cllb: strict apphca-
ton Of this provision would have prevented
Ii was stated in the club yesterday that some dis
satisfaction was felt over Judge IOwnsends ruling
against the point of order made by Mr.. Da Costa
early i'm the evening The point of order was TO the
effect that according to the Constitution of the club
the Governing Committee shall coll, upon the writ
ten request ol fifty members special meeting to
consider a specific subject. The call for the meet
ing stated that the specific subject to be con-
sidered was amendments to the Constitution. There
fore Le urged that Mr.. Eldridges resolution could
not be discussed except under another provision III
the that at any meeting after the uusI-
before it shall have been disposed OF, DIS
cussion upon the interests of the club shall be i'll
order. IL was claimed by the indictments that
Judge Townsend was really with the Governors,
although this decision was the only one which was
i'll any way partial or unfair.
The feeling against Mr.. Belmont is very bitter.
MIR. BemOnts speech was bad enough" said
a member "but il is not quite SO bad the taste
he displayed in showing himself at the meeting
at ALL TO say nothing of the prominent part lie took
in the proceedings OH what was virtually Mr.. Turn
bulrs side of the question. There is doubt in tho
mind of anybody who has given the
matter any attention that Mr.. Belmont was as has
been several times reported, one OF Mr.. IurnDulIS
advisers III the preparation ana distribution OF the
circular Ii Is believed that he he chief adj
wiser Under such circumstances he had no bust
ness to open his mouth. He was really defending
himself. When the matter gets into the
courts or a fuller investigation IL made by tho club
we will find out whether or not Mir. Belmont was
not as guilty i'll regard TO the circular as Mr. Turn
bull believe he was"
IL was learned that Mr.. Loubat has been flooded
with offers of legal advice. Young lawyers and old
LAWYERS those who are wel-knOwn and those who
are obscure have written TO him and called on him.
He has TesOlutely refused TO negotiate with anyone
however but declares that when he does take legal
advice he will have the best in the city.
