Sr. LOUIS, Sept. 2f.-Most of the visiting
Odd-Fellows have left for their homes, the
delegates to the Sovereign Grand Lodge
being the only representatives in the
city The business of the Grand Lodge
is progressing very slowly, owing TO the in
terruptions that have occurred In the midst
Of yesterdays proceedings Grand Lecturer
Rixie, Of Missouri. was taken suddenly III,
which necessitated an adjournment. and
various other matters have occurred taking
the time Of tho lodge to the detriment Of
business.
The most important business up for action
is changing age Of eligibility from twenty-one
10 eighteen years the question OF excluding
Guuor dealers and the memorial charging
Grand Secretary Ross with unseomly conduct.
The first OF these questions will be voted
on to-day. but the other two it Is said, VIII
cause a lengthy and spirited debate. Tie
matter of excluding salOon-koepers came up
AT the last meeting of the Grand Lodge. but
was voted down. But this time the Grand
Lodges of the several States will decide
whether or not saloon-keepers will be adj
mitted. This proposition is strongly OPP
posed by those who desire more stringent
measures.

(By Gable 70 The Times.l
LONDON, Sept. 24.-The Jewish Colonial
ton Association. although formed but few
days, has already taken hold vigorously and
the object of settling the poor Russian Jews
in the United States is 20 bo pursued as
rapidlyas possible. The Association has co',,e
to the conclusion to send nearly all the jewish
exiles TO the United States and TO
secure their landing by all lawful means.
The Jews will be settled as far as possible IN
agricultural colonies but It IS not expected
that they will confne themselves to the
country. Their right to 20 into any lawful
business will be yindicated If necessary;
through legal proceedings. lt Is claimed
that the United States has room enough Tor
ali the Jews that will emisrate from
Russia, and the opportunities for pro-
ftable business are not equaled IN any other
country. The Association will therefore for
the present wholly conhne its attention TO
sending Russian Jews TO America and sup
porting them there A st. Petersburg dis
patch SAYS that the Car seriously thinks OF
sending the Jews in large patches t. siberia.
They will not be deported as conyicts. but are
to be presented with land and forbidden to
return 10 Russia.
