OF NEW YORK.

The Triennial COnclaye Controyersy.
SHARP REPLY OF THE SAN FRANCISCO COMMITTEE TO
STATEMENTS OF COLUMBIAN coMMANDERY, NO. /,
OF NEW YORK.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, July ia document has
been Issued by the tr1ennial cOnclave committee
M here, - addressed to Knights Templars Throughout
the United States, In which they say: "Whereas,
the officers OF Columbian Commandery, No. /, OF
New York city, issued, on June 25th, circular to
the enect that the COmmandery had abandoned
Its contemplated trip to San Francisco for the
alleged reasons that Its committee, after months
OF labor 10 perfeculng this pilgrimage, have been
unable to obtain hotel accommodations In San
Francisco. Inducements Were held out by the
committee OF arrangements OF San Francisco that
all who came to the triennial conclave would be
provided With hotel accommodations. But this
means 1nd1Scriminate herding OF large number In
Railways, rooms sc. Various attempts have been
quarters, quartering our friends, proper care ami
attention. Our attempts have failed, and rather
than subject those WHO might join the pilgrimage
to exorbltant demands, to tnconventenceS and the
discomfort Of formed asSemblages, we have
sounded the halt, and Shall proceed no further in
our effort to attend the trfennial conclave.r
Now, in reply to the foregoing, we desire to say,
in emphatic language, ''that 1t is entirely untrue
as early In April arrangements were made between
the triennfal committee and members OF CoIumbi a
commandsry, clothed with full powers as commit
tee OF one, by which first-class house Was secured
for their accommodation, and has ever since, and
Is now held In reserve for that purpose. In this
connection we desire, in refutation OF the false
and malicious statement that extOrtion would be
their families in this city that there Will be am
pie and comfortable accommodations for all vino
come, as the committee has under control, outside
OF all the principal hotels the very best and fullest
accommodations at regular, reasonable rates, and
that there is not now will there be- the slight
est disposition towards practising extortions on
the part OF the citizens OF San Francisco, has
there been such disposition or intent manifested
at any time. There will be room-plenty of room
for thousands OF sir knights and their families.
They Will be treated with every courtesy. ib-
eralty and Kindness. The city Will be gay in hol-
iday attire; the procession will be magnificent
one, and the decorations perfectly elegant All
classes, creeds and conditions OF society will unite
ttOD. The people will revolt against and punish
any attempt at. much less the absolute fact Of
torton. 1t will be an era bright In the life OF each
and every one partfcipatinR."
