ever, was to the effect that while the
House had legal right to take such
step they would accomplish nothing by
walking up stairs. The Secretary of State
would simply refuse to produce the bal
lots and the House would then have the
pleasure of walking down stairs again.
The suggestion that the House proceed
TO serve writ of habeas corpus on theibal-
lots was not entertained seriously.
1t was finally decided TO let the matter
rest for the present and the caucus then
proceeded to discuss the Pawtucket elec-
tion case. The right OF Hugh j. Carroll to
the Office of coroner was considered and
after many words of sympathy had been
expressed for the unfortunate ex-Mayor
il was decided to give Mr.. Jencks hear
ing before the committee on elections
after which he will be asked TO turn over
the effects of his Office to Mr.. Carroll.
Mr.. Mumford then gave notice that he
would present a resolution TO the House
providing for the appointment of COM
mittee of five TO call upon the Secretary of
State and demand the ballots that were
cast in the April election, and that il he
still refuses TO produce them the commit
tee should proceed to obtain the arrest of
Mr.. Utter for contempt OF the House.
More discussion OF an informal nature
followed. Many projects were suggested,
but the caucus was at last adj djourned with
out any further action being taken.

THE WORK OF A YEAR.
Annual Report of the Chairman of the
Swan Point Corporation.

The annual report of Chairman l.. b.
Darling has Just been submitted TO the
board of directors Of the Swan Point
| Cemetery Corporation. During the year
ending Dec. 81, 1893, there were 319 inter-
ments at the cemetery, making the total
number of interments 1881. About 10, 725
| square feet of land has been sold up to
date, and 1,25s lots have been placed under
| perpetual care.
During the year the corporation has
suffered from the continued business de-
preston, and this has been particularly
noticeable in the receipts from the sale
of burial lots, many of those who have
intended to purchase having postponed
such action for the present.
Owing to the suffering among the labor
ing classes the directors decided to furnish
work for as many men as possible, and
although the income did not warrant the
! expenditure many improvements are being
made, providing for the employment OF
about 20 laborers.
The boulder wall on the northern boun-
dary has been continued, fully 600 more
! feet of this rock work having been built
| and the remaining 800 feet will be COM
pleted next spring when the whole wall
| will be embeilished. The removal OF the
| rocks from the ground in the immediate
I vicinity has made it available for burial
purposes.
| More than 1900 feet of sewer has also
4, been laid, connecting the tenement houses
| and barns with the river. The necessary
man holes have been built although seve-
| raj catch basins were not completed,
| owing to the cold weather.
Work on the Blackstone boulevard has
now been completed from Blackstone
| Park TO North street, with the exception
OF the one hundred feet in the middle,
which is dedicated to the use of the cleo
tric cars and for park purposes. The
chairman suggests that another season
should not be allowed to pass without the
road having been completed as far as the
I city line on Fast avenue, rs this must be
done before the electric cars can run over
| il.
A petition has been circulated and sent
! TO the Union Railroad Company, asking
them to extend the Camp street car
route through the Swan Point road to
Pawtucket, it being urged that the
patrons OF the two roads demand such
accommodation. The directors trust
that the petition will not be
granted as the ample proportions OF the
boulevard are much more appropriate for
a car route and the plan proposed would
interfere with the well known design OF
| the cemetery corporation to ask for the
/ closing OF the present Swan Point road,
as il will be no longer necessary for public
use after the boulevard is completed.

respectively, Zitzuzen Ashitsu, shaku
Soyen, and yIorin Toki. On a later day,
the interpreter, who is q layman, made
most interesting address, Ia which he
avowed the desire OF the party TO make
converts To Buddhism. He declared that
the things OF beauty and value which
Americans desire from Japan are but per-
ishable, and that the greatest gift they
can make 10 our people Is the religion,
eternal and full OF blessings. He also an
nounced tho distribution OF the liter
ature OF Buddhism, which had been
translated and printed In quantity, for
that purpose. There are more addresses
