read for the last time amid great
applause, and the speaker said
that on this the success Of the
League rested, and it had carried
on it's great work with nothing
more. He spoke of the prospe rity
which had already come upon

Chinese lovers, that there had
been incendiary talk in the meet

The speaker closed amid loud
applause and was followed by H.

the Index, and S. P. Davis of
the APPEAL were appointed Oh
the Committee. H. s. Mason
was called on amid a general
uproar, and made a ringing
