| The supreme council of the Royal Ar
/ canum wound up the business Of its nine
/ teenth annual session yesterday. and ad-
| journed 10 meet in Boston the third We'd
/ nesday ia next May.
Nearly all OF the members of the coun-
| ell have left the city 10 return TO their
/ homes. Many went by the noon train
| yesterday, and others last night. Su-
| preme Secretary w. o. Robson and about
twenty-five or thirty members remained
/ over 10 take the Kansas City for New
/ York tonight.
The business session Of the supreme
| council yesterday was a brief one. The
most important matter acted on, from a
Savannah standpoint, at least. was the
removal Of all the restrictions from Pu-
/ laskl council Of this city, which was done
| by a unanimous vote. Heretofore the
membership of this council has been lin
] tied to 800 but this restriction has been
| removed and Pulaski Council is now en-
/ titled to as many members as it can Sc
cure. Il has at present about 30 mem
bers. The restrictions were placed on
the council years ago when it was first
founded, on account of supposed doubtful
health conditions. but Il is very evident
! there IS no need now of such a precaution,
and it did not take long for the members
of the supreme council to discover this
for themselves.
The supreme council refused TO remove
the restrictions in the state of Arkan-
l
lowed 10 extend their jurisdiction or TO
take In members west Of the Iron Noun
tain railroad, and the councils in Helena
| and other points in the state are not
allowed TO 90 beyond one hundred mem
bers. Gen. John c. Tappen Of Helena was
| here for the purpose OF seeking the re-
/ moval of these restrictions, but, from
| the action Of the council, II appears MS
| mission was unsuccessful. ,
The committee 10 whom was delegdted
| the matter of drafting resolutions OF
| thanks for the reception and entertain
ment Of the members of the supreme
/ council, made the following report:
