KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.

Important Questions Discussed at Yes
terday's Session of the National
Council-Defnite Action Postponed
Until Next October.
AT the morning session of the nation
al council, Knights of Columbus, yes
terday, the reports of standing commit
tees were made and accepted. In the
afternoon three proposed constitutional
amendments were discussed. These
amendments embrace three questions
of great Importance to the order. The
flrst of these questions is whether the
order shall be extended south of Mason
and Dixon's line; the second, whether
uniform rank or commandery shall
be adopted now, and the third is
whether liquor dealers shall be admit
ted as members. The close relation
which the order holds to the Catholic
church makes it imperative for the SUI
preme delegates to take a stand at
once on this question.
After a lengthy discussion of these
matters no definite decision was made
and it was voted to postpone definite
action until next October, when anoth-
er meeting will be held.

The report was tabled and made the
order of the day for Thursday, March
II, on the motion of Mr.. Ford Of Suftield
Mr.. Barnes of New Haven called
from the table the bill concerning the
taking of fish which limits the open
season from April Is to July l. and the
amendment of Mr.. Call1ins of East
Lyme, changing the date to April l.
The bill and the amendment were dis
cussed at length, at the close of which
the amendment prevailed. There was
another season of talk, and the whole
matter was disposed of by Mr.. Gill
more's motion to indefinitely postpone
10Y to 49,
When the fish bill had been disposed
Of Mr.. Main of North Stonington call
ed from the table his bill concerning
the killing of eagles. There was con-
siderable oratory and not little story
telling, in which the reverend member,
Mr.. Epson of Washington, participated.
He told this story on one of his Hiber-
Man friends who took an active part in
the recent campaign. The Irishman
was making a speech and in an elo-
quent apostrophe on the American
eagle said, st scared beyond the
clouds, it scared, it scared, it scared"
The orator then stopped, and, looking
at his tittering audience, said "The
fact is, gentlemen, I've got the eagle
SO id high that I've lost sight of
him.
Rev. Mr.. Upson's contribution to the
debate was greatly appreciated.
Mr.. Barnes of Norwich offered an
amendment that the bill shall not ap-
ply where the birds are shot, shared or
killed while destroying property.
Mr.. Cowell of Waterbury moved the
previous question.
Mr.. Main rose to object, but Speaker
Barbour reminded him that there
could be no debate on the previous
question.
Mr. Calkins of East Lyme came to
the rescue of Mr.. Main by rising to a
question of privilege. When asked by
the speaker to state his question, Mr..
Calkins said he wanted to know if the
amendment was acceptable to him.
This can hardly come within the
range of privileged question: re-
marked Speaker Barbour.
But Mr.. Main didn't care about the
range of privileged questions when
| they stood in his way, and he rose and
replied: mo, it is not acceptable to
me-"
When the vote was being taken on
| the previous question Mr.. Main mad
vertently voted for It, There was a
general laugh when his mistake was
discovered.
Judge Cowell's motion was carried by
a practically unanimous vote. The
amendment of Mr.. Barnes of Norwich
was adopted and the bill passed as
| amended, Mr.. Mains being the only
dissenting voice, which was heard all
over the house in a ringing NO
