SIR KNIGaETsIN CONcLAyE.


At ten o'clock yesterday morning the sn
Knights of st. John aud Malta went into
session again under Eminent Grand Cum
mander u. Henderson Of syracuse. The
number Of delegates present vas about
fifty.
The reports made the IN, vous day by the
Grand Chancellor, Grand Almoner, Grand
Trustees, General Standing Committees and
special committees were brought up and
considered Also the amendments made to
the constitution. The amendments related
to eoualizing the per capita tax of new
cucampments formed during the year;
relating to the Boarl Of Directors, giving
them increased power; relating to the elcc.
ton Of standing committees, whereby their
nomination is vested solely with the Chap er
General, thus lessening tile power Of Grhrd
Commanders; providing for comforting the
honorary past rank by u three fourths vote
of the Chapter General.
Certain minor changes in the unlpim
have been made, SO as to distinguish more
readily the officers ofau encampment from
officers Of the Chapter General. An amend
mrnt has also been made creating ladies'
degree in the order, to be known as the
"White Cross Degree, also certain changes
as TO representation and the ritual.
1t was intended to hold three days con-
clave, but ut the end Of the afternoon SEES
sion such progress had been made that it
was decided to hold IN evening session and
end the work. An Adjournment was taken
accordingly.
