ST. LOUIS, Sept. 22.-At the Knights
Templar Conclave the thousands of visit
ors and a great number Of citizens devoted
their time to-day to charity exercises at the
| Fair Grounds for the benefit OF the
| Widows and Orphans Masonic Home.
Early this morning the streets were
| thronged with thousands. Street-cars and
vehicles OF every description were utilized
to convey spectators to the scene OF the
knight Templar competitive drill and the
| Gilmore concert.
The place of holding the next conclave
is the subject that is attracting much at
tention. The committee held q meeting,
but it did not come to any determination.
They decided not to make a report until
tomorrow morning. The members OF the
| committee refused to talk on the matter,
but il is pretty we'll understood that an
Eastern city will be selected-prObably
New York, Boston or Washington. All
three of these cities are represented by the
committee, but the preferences Of West Vir'
GINA and Georgia gentlemen are not
known. There has been considerable talk
about further triennisls. One rumor that
has gained currency was that the present
system of ~triennisls would be done away
with hereafter on account of the increasing
number who attend and the difficulty ex-
perienced in finding places to accommo-
date them, but this statement has found
little support, and one Of the members OF
the committee said that he had not even
heard Of it. The idea, however. which has
been pretty widely advanced is to settle
upon one place at which 10 hold all tri-
ennials hereafter, but il may be stated pos.
itively that this place will be voted down.
at least, by the committee for holding the
next triennial.
