NEW YORK INSTEAD OF CHICAGO
Convention of the Theosophical Society
for the Eastern City.


New York, April III. D. Buck, acting
president of the Theosophical society,
has issued the following special notice
to all members and branches:
1.-The departure of our late president,
William q. Judge, has necessitated
many changes in the conduct OF the al
fairs of the society. The unanimous
opinion of the executive committee is,
therefore, that the coming convention
should be held in New York City in
stead of Chicago, as formerly arranged.
The reasons for this are that New York
is the place where our departed broth
er's work was principally done; that in
this city are his effects, papers and in
structions for carrying on the society;
and that il is the site of the headquar-
tiers of the Theosophical society of Am
erica. To these it must be added that
New York was the place Of originating
the theosophical movement OF this coun-
try, and its close proximity TO Europe
renders il of great moment as the place
for holding convention at the present
time.
"The great Importance Of the conven-
ton cannot be overestimated. Affairs
are shaping themselves at present for
greater work than We have ever done
before, and / should like to take this
opportunity TO call upon all who can
TO make special effort to attend II.
The convention for 1S6 will be held
April 26 and q in New York city. 1t
will assemble on the morning of the
18th instant in the Madison Square
concert hall assembly room.

METRIC SYSTEM IN THE HOUSE
House Adiourns Pending Roll Call on the
Bill to Adopt.

Washington, April THE house spent
the day debating a bill to fix the stand
ard of weights and measures by the
adoption Of the metric system on and
after July /, 1898, and proposition that
the government share with the District
Of Columbia the expense of crea ting and
maintaining a public library in the city
of Washington. The latter was defeat
ed 113-127, and the fate of the metric
system bill still hangs in the balance.
On a rising vote it was DEBATED, $50,
but Mr.. c. W. Stone of Pennsylvania,
chairman Of the committe on coinage,
weights and measures, who has given
the subject much attention and who
warmly supported it, secured the ayes
and noes and, pending the roll call, the
house adjourned.
In advocating the metric system Mr..
Stone spoke of the great embarrass-
entailed in connection with our foreign
trade and the inextricable confusion it
involved. The metric system had prov
ed a complete success. 1t was interna-
tional in character, almost universal
in use among civilized nations.
Mr.. Bartlett Oem. n. W opposed
The adoption of what he denominated
this French continent system" Cen
tlemen had come TO him since the de-
bate began and had appealed TO him,
saying: Let US adopt this internation-
al system and it will pave the way for
international bimetallism, on which all
our hopes are concentrated. Oaughter)
He thought il absurd to attempt to
force this system on 10000, 900 of people
after a few hours of unScientific de-
bate.
Mr.. Otey Oem- Va.) opposed the bill
in a picturesquely humorous speech in
which he said it would be as easy for
him to learn German or Sanskrit as the
metric system. He took a table of the
metric system, said he, and looked in
vain for the wet measure.
where's your measure of whisky"
he inquired. Il venture to say Ken
lucky will have something to say about
the adoption of this new-fangled sys-
TEN. Her delegation will be solidly op-
posed to it. Oaughter)
An adjournment followed before the
yea and and nay vote was taken.
