W. Noyes. W. S Hutchins, Gen. John NJ
Wilson. and Thomas FSWalsh.
Reports submitted sat the meeting
showed that the work df organization has
been pressed with such vigor and has
met with such encouraging response from
every section of the country that the
Committee felt justified, at the conclu-
sion of yesterdays session. in adjourning
without fixing time for the next meet
ing This is the first time that such ac-
tion has been taken and indicates the
confidence felt by the members Of the
Committee that the work is progressing
favorably. and that the routine business
of the undertaking can be readily at
tended to by the officers of the Associa-
tion. to whom have been delegated gen
eral powers of this nature. The next
meeting of the Executive Committee,
therefore, will be at the call of the chair,
ability.
Secretary Walsh reported the accept
ances. as State and City Vice Presidents,
of Senator Mitchell for Oregon, Senator
Kittrdge. for South Dakota, Representa-
tive Newlands, for Nevada, Governor
Otero. for New Mexico. Mr.. Andrew ST.
monds, for Charleston, S. c., and Mr.
Dean Sage, for Albany, n. Y.
AT the beginning of the work the mem
bers of the Executive Committee hardly
realized the magnitude Of the task of
constructing a national organization for
popular subscription, to cover the United
States, even with the simple machinery
which it devised for extending to all
classes its invitation TO contribute Even
though the amount which it was proposed
to raise was relatively small when com
pared with the population and prosperity
of the country and the unexampled affec-
tion of the people for the late President
Mckinley, the members of the Executive
Committee found that n comprehensive
and thorough organization would be nee
essary to acquaint all the people with the
details of the plan proposed.
The work has been gotten into such ex-
cellent condition now, however, that the
members Of the committee will not have
to devote as much time to the work every
day as they have been doing for the past
month.
At the meeting yesterday afternoon, Mr..
Macfarland and Mr. Walsh, respectively
the President and Secretary Of the As
sociation. reported informally the sub
stance of their conference, at the White
House last Friday afternoon, with Sena-
tor Hanna and Secretary COrtelyou, Of
the Board of Trustees of the association
for erecting a monument at Canton. There
was a general exchange Of views as to
the best methods for preserving that har-
mony which all desire between the Arch
Association and the association for the
Canton monument. AT the next meeting
of the committee further consideration
will be given to this subject, a thor
ough understanding by each association
of the work of the other is considered
one OF the prime requisites for the sue
cess Of both projects
Announcement of the subcommittee
of the District of Columbia Committee
was made yesterday afternoon. The
active work Of raising subscriptions in
local territory may now be understood TO
be definitely, energetically, and systemat-
ically begun moore
