The session was presided over by
Grand Chancellor Schulze and was a
most harmonious one. Every lodge in
the grand domain was represented with
one exception, that one being No. 80.
Seventy three past chancellors received
the Grand lodge rank and much other
important business was transacted.

In the report of Grand Chancellor
Schulze he makes the following recon-
mendations:
First-That the grand chancellor be
authorized to call three special conven-
tions of the Grand lodge during his
term of office these to be held at such
places other than where the Grand
lodge last convened, or where 1t IS next
TO convene. and at such time as the
grand chancellor may direct. All Grand
lodge officers and committee of creden-
tials and reports are to receive mileage
for attending these special conventions
at the same rate as Is now paid for at
tending Grand lodge conventions Inc
grand chancellor. through the q. Is. H.
S. shall notify all subordinate lodges IN
this domain at least two weeks previous
of the time and place when and where
sucb special convention shall be held,
and that all past chancellors so entitled
he invited to attend said special con-
and receive the rank or past
After the comforting OF the
rank the grand chancellor snail eX-
emplify the unwritten work of our Or
der.
Rv accepting the foregoing recon-
mendation we will secure uniformity IN
our work, we will largely reduce the
number of past chancellors for the past
rank at the regular Grand
lodge conventions thus goining more
time for other business, and last, but
not least. it will bring us oftener ana
closer together, whereby | believe our
order will be greatly benefited
Second-There are now stored at the
office Of the G.. X. r. S. over four hun
bred copies Of Grand lodge statutes.
During last year two copies have been
sold. I would recommend that five cop
los he issued to each of the subordi-
nate lodges in this domain free of |
charge.
Third-During the past year, as must
have been during previous years, as
veil as no doubt it will be in the future,
many calls were received from subor-
Innate lodges for the G. X. r. S., Hor-
ice o, Case, to visit with your grand
chancellor: and while he has nearly al
vays complied with the wishes and ac-
,ompanied the grand chancellor on
many of his visits, would recommend
hat hereafter the G.. X. r. s. be al
owed mileage not W ehcecu oiic Huii
lred dollars during any one year.
Brother Case is, without any exception,
he hardest worker for the advance
nent of our order in this domain, and I
consider it of great benefit to our order
o allow the expenses herein recon-
nended.
At the banquet Monday night some
# the late speakers were DR.. W. P.
Burke, of this city, Captain w. e.
)ownes, Ernest Hotchkiss, of Sheffield,
