tary and treasurer reported the pres
ent membership in the state is over
81, 900, an increase of nearly 1000 over

important matters was the disposition
of the Masonic home. The proposition
of the trustees of the Masonic home at
Grand Rapids to assume control of
that institution, after n prolonged de-
bate was rejected. While close, the

tenance of the home. Officers elected:

i. Carton, of Flint; right worshipful
deputy grand master, Lou H. WinSor,

VIII Delay the Resolution.

The concurrent resolution request
ing the President to communicate to
the governments of Europe, parties to
the treaty of Berlin, the wish of con-
gress that these powers should inter-
vene to protect the Christians in Tur-
key, reached the state department and
was sent over to the executive man sion
for the consideration of the President.
While this resolution does not require
the approval of the President it may
be that he will deliberate some time
before he will accede to the request,
in view of the Importance of the SUBJ
ject and the possible far-reaching re-
suits of acceding to the request of
congress.

needed to capture Zeitoun. 1t is be-
lieved that the Zeitounlis number from

visioned for year. There is report
that 1000 Russian Armenians crossed
the Persian frontier and defeated the
