GRAND oFFIcERs' REPORTS.
The Deputy System Declared Graft
flying Success.

Grand Master Workman Crider has
his annual report ready for distribu-
tion. He calls attention to the deputy
system provided by the last grand lodge
which has, in his Judgment, proven it
self a gratifying success. He believes,
basing his judgment upon experience
gained from the deputy system in other
Jurisdictions, the Kansas system has ac-
cOmplished far better results, both di-
rectly and Indirectly, and for less money
than any such other jurisdictions or or
ders. He is convinced that by reason
of this system the order will have one
less assessment in 1900 than it otherwise
would have had, Sthus saving to the
Kansas membership an aggregate of
100000. Concluding his report, he says:
Notwithstanding the great losses in
cldent to the discussion and adoption
of the classified assessment plan and
to the necessity of seventeen level as
sessments in 1897, I find the number of
applications received in the three years
prior to January 1 of that year was 49,
204; and in the three years succeeding
said date, and ending January l. 1900,
the number has been 15,147-an excess
in the latter period over the first of
1,943. In the first period 10.475 certif1-
Gates to new members were issued, while
in the latter 12 100 certificates were is
sued, or an excess in the latter period
over the former of 1856. Prior to 1897
the jurisdiction never had more than
fourteen level assessments, and the
classified assessment plan had not been
generally discussed, and no idea that it
would ever be adopted generally was
entertained. AS 1 said in my introduce
ton, the success of the order, m spite
of all that it has had to contend with,
has been exceedingly gratifying-it has
indeed been marvellous. From being
the institution at which all the others.
in the strife for members, directed the
shafts of criticism, and often malice, it
| has become the leading beneficent insti-
tuition of our state, and the plan upon
which it does business will in the near
future be adopted by its greatest rivals
as necessary to their own perpetuity.''
Grand Recorder E. M. Forde calls at
tention to the failure of the grand lodge
last year to provide for the expenses
to be incurred by the adoption of the
deputy system, together with the pre-
MUM system. and have the per capita

FUN FOR RICHARDSON.

Lack of Harmony on Porto Rican
Bill Continues.

Washington, Feb 26.-The house met
at IL o'clock today to resume the de-
bate on the Porto Rican tariff bill
There were few members upon the floor,
but the leaders on both sides were ac-
tive. Mr.. Payne IN. ". the floor lead
er,- announced that no compromise had
been made with the dissatisfied Repub-
licans and that there would be a cons
ference tonight. The leaders have de-
cided to extend the general debate an
other day.
When Mr.. Payne preferred the re-
quest for the extension of time, Mr..
Richardson, the Democratic leader
said:
This is a remarkable request to come
from the majority. We construe it to
be a frank and candid confession that
they have brought here a bad bill, and
an admission in open house to the coun-
try that they have not votes enough
to pass it."
The Democrats. he continued, were
always magnanimous. They would
not strike their foes when they were
down, and they were not disposed to
take advantage of the pitiable situa-
tion on the other side of the aisle. Still
they felt that some terms should be
imposed. and he demanded as condi-
tions to an extension a night session
substitute in the house on Wednes-
day, when the final vote was to be ta-
ken. With these conditions" he re-
marked blandly, the minority would
grant the ''entreaty'' of the majority.
Mr.. Payne smilingly replied that he
appreciated the generosity of the other
side, and not to be outdone in magma
nimity he would agree to the condf-
tiens.
Mr.. Bartlett (Ga.) then took the floor
with half hours speech against the
bill. He laid down as an elementary
principle of international law that
whenever q country, whether empires
monarchy, or republic, acquired terri
tory by conquest, purchase or treaty.
that territory became a part of such
country and subject to her laws.
There was one consolation, he said,
for those who believed this bill was
unconstitutional. Whatever this con-
gre5s might do; however they might
trim down. shade or override the sec
tions of the constitution, there was a
court which was the greatest that ever
sat upon a bench, and would if guided
by prior decisions of that grand tri-
bunal, hold to the indestructible prin-
ciples of the constitution, which were
our only safety and hope for the perpet-
uation of the republic.
Mr. Lanham CTex) in opposing the
bill declared that the Porto Ricans
We're either Americans or aliens. There
could be no such a thing as separating
and dividing the immunities and priv
ileges of American citizenship. The in
habitants of the island. he insisted,
were entitled to unrestricted free trade
with the United States. If an imperial
policy was set up, it could but end in

From the Klondike the grounds of

a slight terrace is SurmOunted with
