who for twelve years past has been at tho
head OF the Corean customs, is to be dis
missed. This is probably due to the fact
that the customs administration has been
undertaken by NJ. Megata, the Japanese
adviser OF the Corean government, and is
part Of his general plan to reorganize

exist as a separate organization, but will
be arranged on a plan similar TO that OF

In 1901 Russia attempted to oust Brown,

presenting, he claimed. on behalf Of eleven
states, Of which he represented majority
Of the members, the objections Of the pro-
testing delegates against the new rates He
contended that they changed the contrac-
tural relations entered into at initiation.
Action at Atlantic City was I'm no sense tho
voice Of the members, he said and was not
necessary, and he advocated that the rates
Of assessment Of members which hereto
fore had been used should be adhered to.
He said there was in his mind a grave
question as to the legal right OF the su-
preme council to change the basis Of as
sessment and the contractural relations OF
their members, but he and those he repre-
sented did not wish to raise this point and
hoped that by the supreme council and the
representatives of the members getting to-
gether II might be obviated. If the mem
bers are appealed to and shown that it is
merely a question Of retaining the relations
existing originally, It will meet with their
general approval. Others who spoke against
the measure were John Walsh of Now
York and Frank II. Culver of Chicago
Howard c. Virgins, supreme regent in
his address set forth that the changes in
rates had been made to maintain the in
tegrity of the order and said that the new
rates were based on deep research. He
urged, however, that the opinions of others
should be respected.
About 200 delegates are present at the
