mittee Of fifty appointed by the New York

DanielE Siclles for permanent chairman.
The report was adopted and General Sicllles
was introduced amid loud and continued

clusion was the signal for round after round
Of applause.

lutions, presented the report Of that com.
mittee, which was read by the secretary as
