COUNCILS
ARE SUSPENDED
Grand Lodge Junior Order American
Mechanics Puts Them on the
Rack-LocaI Leader Talks.

The National Council Of the Junior Order
OF United American Mechanics, says
te.egram from Philadelphia, after a pro-
longed discussion. has sustained the action
OF the Grand Lodge in raising the per cap!-
Ia tax 10 fifteen cents. and ordered that
tha lodges in Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Virginia and the District G: Columbia,
which have refused to comply with the
Iacision be suspended.
The trouble says the telegram took shape
last fail when these State Lodges decidsd
that ten cents was sltficlent amount,
although the order had decided to collect
a special .15 cents per capita tax for one
year for the support of the National
Orphan Home, at Tiffin. O.. which is en-
numbered with a debt OF $4,000.
The minimum age limit TO membership
was reduced from Is to is years, and the
number of delegates TO the National
Council from 1l9 to u.s.
A prominent member of the order in
this city was seen yesterday in regard
TO the above, and said that the lodges
mentioned as having been suspended were
already under suspension. and had been
for some time, but not for the reasons
stated above. He said the lodges from
these States had been taxed without
proper representa- ton in the Grand Lodge.
and for this reason. and on account of a
line of other grievances which had been
laid. through a committee before the
National Council they had withheld their
per capita tax.
He said he had received letter from
a delegate yesterday which stated that
tbe first act of the National Council was
II, iegaize. by resolution. the Mtnnea polls
legislation. which the lodges of the above
mentioned States hold TO be Illegal, and
which has been the cause of much fric-
ton.
II will be remembered that the last Leg
islature grarited a charter 20 State Coun-
cia of Virginia, which was fo- the, pur-
pose of being prepared for me worst.
This great order was never in a moro
flourishing condition and will not be dam
aged, no matter what occurs.

MORE TROOPS. FOR CHINA.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The admins

match of troops and naval reinforcements
10 China to meet the emergency a t Tien
rsin. Reports tnat have been received
overnight at the Navy Department, but
which are temporarily withheld from pub
lication, are, it Is believed, confiunatory
of the reports from Europe of the need Of
reinforcements for the Internal tional forces
at Tien Tsin.
The emergency described in Admiral
Kempff's dispatch has led the War Depart-
nlent to an extra effort to hurry forward the
Ninth Regiment from LuzUn to Taku-
A telegram was sent 10 General AacAr-
thur at Manila this evening asking aim
how Frge a force he can spare should it
become necessary to send them to China
No answer to this inquiry is expected be-
fore tomorrow, when instructions may be
sent to have the transports and troops in
readiness in anticipation of orders to sail.
There also Is good ground for believing
that the authorities will dispatch at least
one other regiment from Manila TO China
with the least possible delay.
A recent census Of Tien Ism shows the
foreign population to be about 1000 ger
sons, including ITO Americans. Thus thu
