ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June 22.-Cleye-
land was today put in the position of al
tentative choice Of the American Institute
of Homeopathy for the place of holding the
institutes ffty-sixth annual convention in
1900. The committee having the matter in
charge that the meeting be
held in Washington at the time of the I'M
yelling OF the monument to Hahnemann, the
founder of homeopathy, and in case of cir
cumstances arising which might prevent the
unwilling, that the meeting be held in Put
Inlay, o. 1t was shown, however. that
$33, 900 must be raised and an act of con-
gress passed giving a site before the monu-
ment can be erected at the capital. This
makes 1t very doubtful If the monument
can be unveiled a year hence, and the COM
mittee's report would, If adopted, have sent
the convention of 1900 to Put-In-Bay.
The report was amended by the substitu-
ton of Cleveland for Put-In-Bay, and the
probability is that the convention will meet
in Cleveland next year.
The report of the committee OF organiZa-
ton showed that there are in the United
States eight homeopathic societies, two Sec
tional societies, thirty-three state societies,
eight-fve local societies, thirty nine medi-
cal clubs, three miscellaneous organizations,
slightly seven homeopathic hospitals, sixty
eight bpttldl nOsDlldlS VI hlSItlSdlltS anu
twenty homeopathic colleges. The commit
tee also showed that the death rate in cases
treated by homeopathy was 4,S2 per cent.

ceptance of the names presented by the

sion, headed by DIR. Charles f.. Walton OF
Cincinnati as president,
Rival to I%nstitutc.

ton to "A movement to start a new home
opathic organization to be known as the in
~terstate League of Homeopathy, which he
said would mean a split in the institute and
which he said was due to the fact that not
enough time was allotted at the annual
meetings to the sections for scientific dis
crssion of medicine. In order to prevent
disintegration an order to create a special
bureau of materia medica was referred to
the committee on resolutions and DR.. Allen,

of such a bureau.
