spite the large attendance at each ses-
zion. The stage was arranged with an
eye to beauty, on either side of which
were life siz, portraits of the late Rev.
William W. Browne and President
Rev. W. l.. Taylor. Portraits of differ
ent members OF the Board Of Directors
were suspended from the galleries,
while in the southwest corner a man.

offices of the Grand Fountain and its

Before the opening of the session the
hall presented an animated appearance;
the hundreds of delegates present re-
newing old acquaintances and forming
new ones, showed the fraternal feeling
existing everywhere. 1t goes without
saving that in numbers, the present
was about the largest in the history OF
the Brotherhood. There were fully six
hundred delegates in attendance, these
came from twenty three states and the
District OF Columbia.
The best homes in Richmond were
thrown open 10 the delegates and on
all sides general satisfaction expressed
as to the accommodations and general
hospitality received. AS In numbers
so IN intellect, general appearance, and
in all those essentials that go to MAKE
up representative body, the delega-
ton as a whole was most excellent
one.
The deliberations were OF most har'
monious nature, everything being con-
Quoted with that decOrum and order
that characterize True Reformer gath
erings everywhere. The personnel OF
the Grand Fountain is every thing that
could be desired, embracing as it does
men and women in every walk and STA
ton in life. Side by side on the stage,
on the different committees, in debate
and in council are to be found the nor

tlclans, merchants and business men
In every avenue of lire.
The annual gathering of the Grand
fountain has most enervating influ
ence upon the people of Richmond and
vicinity, and not upon them alone, bu,
upon the large delegations that come
from the different sections of the coun-
try. The unity of action of the dele
gates, their general tendency to do on
ly that which will rebound to the good
OF the Brotherhood and the general
wealth of the race stamps Its impress
everywhere.
The success of our Banking and In.
surance departments. our Old Folks
Home, Mercantile and Industrial de-
partments and our success in journal
ism demonstrate to the world what by
concentration and co operation Negro
pluck and energy can accomplish. The
race is greatly benefited in the eyes OF
the commercial and financial world az
result Of the great work being done
by the Brotherhood.
Promptly at ten o'clock a. m. Tues
day morning, Rev. W. L. Taylor, G. w.
Master, amidst great Applause, ascend
ed the stage, and raped the vast as
semblsge to order. The roll of Grand
Officers was called, then the roll of
General Officers.
Occupying seats on the stage were
the Grand and General Officers minis
tiers and official stenographers.
Devotional exercises were conducted
by the Grand Worthy Chaplain, Rev.
Richard Wells. 1t is source Of pleas
ure to the Grand Fountain to have
Chaplain Wells with them this session.
as last session he was in feeble health
and unable to be present. The Rever-
end gentleman appears to be much i'm
proved In health.
Grand Worthy Master Tay lor then in
a most felicitous and eloquent manner
delivered an opening address. The ad.
dress was an exhaustive one and deal,
with the work accomplished by the
Brotherhood since tie last apnuaI ses-
sion, which shows an increase o. 226
new Fountains, 1875 Rose buds, 462 E
Class members, 67O B Glass members,
and total increase in the fountain
membership of more than Is 900.
AS the Grand Worthy Master told step
by step of the progress Of the Order,
his eloquent words were received With
vociferous applause. In his remarks
he d1sclaimed any inteu tioh of aspiring
to life tenure of office, but said as long
as he served the Brotherhood IS faith
fully as he had served them and they
were satisfied with his work and de
sired to retain bis services, he felt it his
duty to answer to their call. He fur.
ther stated that he started to Boston to
be present at the first meeting of the
Afro American Business Association,
but was taken ill and acting upon ths
advice Of his physician returned home
so as to be able, with Gods help to be
present at this session.
At the conclusion Of bis address there
wa, tremendous applause.
The committee on credentials, which
was divided into eight sections was
then appointed and the morning ses-
sion then adj burned. The afternoon
session was devoted to the receiving OF

The correspondence shows that at
all times the Administration was most
considerable OF the rights of the natives
OF the Philippines; that the instruc-
lions forwarded to different American
commanders at various times urged
such policy that the natives would
recognize the Americans as friends in
stead OF invaders. Most of the cor
respondence was published In detail
at or just after the date of its issue.

Mr. Damon concluded In thesc
terms: This is probably the last time n
Minister Of Finance will have the OPP
portunity OF addressing any legislative
body In this country, as in the new sys-
TEN none of the secretaries will be
officially pl esent in the Legislature.
Under the American system the Legis-
lature makes its appropriations with.
out any interference by the Executive.
In closing l wish to tender my thanks
to the members of the Council of
State and to my colleagues In the
Executive Council for their kind as
sistance In transacting the financial
business Of the country. You have al
ways been very considerate and gene
rous In rendering be any assistance in
your power.
Matter OF Proc edure.
Minister Cooper suggested that the
President appoint the requisite COM
mittees for handling the proposed ap-
preparations.
President Dole-Are there any ad-
ditions to be proposed?
Minister Cooper have an addition
al proposal, which will present to the
appropriation committee.
Mr.. Kennedy considered new rules
for the Council might be necessary in
coming with its enlarged responsible
ties.
1 do not suppose the strict rules of
the Legislature will be necessary. but
1t may be advisable to have rules pro-
viding for different readings of the
bills.
Mr.. Jones suggested that members
be furnished with copies of the rules,
as probably most of them had mislaid
their copies. He accepted SUCCESS
ton of Mr.. Kennedy for the rules of
the defunct Advisory Council also, and
then moved adjournment till 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning. There was only
bare quorum present. and written
notice should be sent to every member.
| have thought, Mr.. Jones continued,
that the Council of State has not been
treated with its proper due. II Is a
dignified body, yet we receive our no
tice on the street by word of mouth,
and sometimes come here at short no.
tice to find that the meeting has been
postponed for one hour. (Laughing.)
1t cost me 25 cents the last time for
hack hire. I received my notice this
morning at II o'clock to attend
meeting at 2. There are other meetings
that members of Council have to at
tend. That Is probably the reason why
so many are absent. move that writ
ten notice be sent to absentees for an
adjourned meeting at 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning. do not know who
is responsible for this treatment of the
Council, but as member I do not feel
that have been properly treated.
Mr.. Kennedy said he was in sympa-
thy with the remarks of the previous
speaker. He thought 1t would be diff
cult for members to attend in the
morning. therefore proposed an amend
ment which was accepted by Mr.. Jones
that the meeting adjourn till p. m.
Saturday. Carried.
