make the occasion one of considerable
importance. Hewill receive delegation

elsewhere, who were 10 have come next
week, and deliver an address to the
united contingents.

This decision was arrived at suddenly
this morning, when the independent
delegation sent word that it would APP

from today. This delegation will con-
sist of about a hundred men, while that
