SECOND DAYS WORK.
The Fopesters Do Nothing
Sensational or of Public
Interest.
The Lambert Divorce Case
Commenced and With
drawn.
That Peculiar Complaint Filed
Against Postmaster
Ankeny.
Aid. Sterling Charged With
Rather Strange Con-
duet.

Very little business of interest to the
public was transacted by the Foresters
IN yesterdays session. The principal
work of the convention will necessarily
be done after the report of the commit
tee on laws has been heard, and that
committee was at work all day culling
the most desirable points from the diff
ferent sets of laws submitted by the
various delegations. Some important
changes in the present code are cOntem-
plated. and the new constitution will
also contain the amendatory clause
declaring the American order entirely
independent of the high court in Eng
land if it is decided to make a declara-
ton of independence at all. 1t seems
entirely probable that the existing feel
ing against the English body will result
in such a declaration. and that hence
forth the order on this side the Atlantic
will cease to owe allegiance to the
mother court across the water. When
the convention adjourned last evening.
it was with the understanding that the
committee above referred to would re-
port at tO-day'S morning session. and
thus give the convention plenty OF time
to consider and act upon the matter.
After the question OF separation and
other matters now under consideration
by the law committee have been settled.
the election of officers will take place.
This election has always been mere
matter of form heretofore. the local
courts selecting list of officers and the
list being accepted without discussion
or disagreement. The present election
To ln rtafY of
an innovation, as W. K. Miller is can
ranger, for which exalted position j.
Wilson Murray was duly selected or
nominated by the st. Paul and Mime
apolis courts.
Miller or some one else has filed
charges against Murray, and they are
now being investigated. 1t is under
stood, however, that although Miller
has quite following, Murray will have
a good majority when it comes to
vote.
If Murray was to be defeated, it would
take the headquarters of the order from
Minneapolis, and it has always been
customary to make the city in which
the convention was held. the national
headquarters until the next session.
The election will undoubtedly be
reached to-day.

Nicollet house.
