The "i wo Wings Coalesce— The
Order r!jw 7,000 Strong.

Fort Haron, Mich., Jan. 13th, 1881.
The C t. Camp adjourned on Tuesday at 5
p.m., awaiting the action of the Joint Com-
mit »e.

In the eveaingf a large number of the dele-
gates attended b sesuon of Diamond Teut,
' JSuroB.

The Ot. Camp waa opened on Wedneaday,
I2tb Oianuary, at 9 a.m., and routine and
general bnsineu waa taken up, pending a
report of the Reunion Committee. At 10
a.m. the Committee returned to the Orand
Review, and reported that a hitch had oc-
curred, and asked instractions in the mat-
ter.

The Gt. Camp voted unanimously to sus-
tain the pssition taken by the Committee.
The Committee then retired again and re-
turned at li.30, and reported that they were
unable to agree, and tasked to be discharged
and a new Committee appointed.

A unanimous rote of thanks was tendered
the Committee on their being relieved from
further duty.

A now Committee was immediately struck
consisting of Sir '.Knights Dr. McLeod of
Detroit, Wolverton of Grimsby, McCormiok
of St. Louis, Robb of Iowa, and J. Harris,
Jr., after which the Gt. Camp adjourned
till 2 o'clock p. m.

The Qt. Camp reassembled at 2 p. m.
The business transacted during the after-
noon was of a private nature. At 4 p. m.,
word waa brought <.'aat it was expected that
the new Committee on Reunion would
reach a conclusion and would hare a report
ready at 5 p. m. The Committee, however,
not reportmg at 5:30 p. m., the Gt.
Camp adjourned till Wednesday at 9 a. ni.,
the rumor oecame general that the Commit-
tee on Reunion could not agree, causing
muuh depression of spirits among the Sir
Kts.

Wednesday, Jan, 12.

The Great Camp was opened at 9 a. m.,
by Dr. Wilder, Gt. Sir Kt. G. C.

Owing to professional engagements the
Gt. Ercellent Prof. Clark Stanton was
obliged to leave last evening, and he was
excused from further attendance.

The Committee on Reunion reported at
11 a. m,, that the Committee from
the Supreme Tent had submitted
the following as their ultimatum :—
"That we meet in Joint Conven*ion in
your Hall immediately and elect officers
from the floor of the House under the
constitution of the Supreme Tent and act
under the same until a new constituticn is
completedby Sir Kts. Stanton and Boynton."

The Great Camp unanimously resolved
not to accept this proposition, and the Com-
mittee was instructed to so inform the other
side. At this stage the opinion became very
general that Reunion could not be cont^um-
mated, and the representatives of the Great
Camp determinedly set themselves to the
task of perfecting their organization for
aggressive work.

It was moved by Sir Kt. Oronhyatekha
and adopted. That we assess ourselves a
sufficient sum to pay our endowments iu
full from this date.

At 12 .30 the Great Camp adjourned to
meet again at 4..30 p.m.

The Gt. Camp reassembled at 1:30 p.m.,
and shortly after the Reunion Committee
entered the hall, and reported thai the
Supreme Tent had agreed to adopt the
name of "The Great Camp" for the supreme
governing body, and to adopt the titles of
the Gt. Camp officers. At this stage a
deputation from the Supreme Tent was ad-
mitted, who presented certain amendments
of the Supreme Tent constitution made to
facilitate reunion.

It was then moved, that the Committee
return and have these various propositions
put in writing and duly signed before any
further action is taken.

At a later heur the Committee presented
the following igreement, duly signed: —

We, as a ]c int committee, agree to stand
by the agreement made yesterday, reduced
to writing and signed by the officers of our
executive bodies.

And we further agree that we will at once
go into union meeting and elect officers by
ballot from the floor, representatives of each
body being allowed to vote according to the
constitution of their separate bodies. We
agre** to divide the officers as folio wf: —

after election that the presiding officer of

agree to support the officers so nominated
by each party-

We still further agree that the committee
agreed upon, viz.. Sir Kts. Stanton and
iSiynton, will at once prepare and de-
liver our executive officers a new or revised
constitution, which is to bo the law of the
Order. It is distinctly understood that ,
there is to be no delay in the ;vork of this

The following are the addresses of thechief
officers of the Order: —

Gt. Ex. Sir Kt. Gen. Commander, F. M.
Wilder, Ejq., M. D., 2, 429 Wabash Avenue,
Chicago, III.

C\ Sir Kt. R. Keeper, E. E. Farman,
'.Hi , \7arsaw, N. Y.

Gt. Sir Kt. F. Keeper, L. 6. Jarvis, Esq.,
London, On'uirio.

Ot. Sir Ki:. Medical Exaniner-in-Chief,
Pr. D. McLeod, 336 St. Aubin avenue, De-
troit, Mich.

Tents Er.jst bear in mind that the medical
examination of all Sir Knights ad-
mitted intii the Order, and of all
Sir Knights who have taken increased
endowments prior to the 14th of January,
1881, must be sent to E/. Oronhyatekha,
London, the Medical Examiner-iu-Chief up
to that date ; and that the medical examina-
tion of all Sir Knights admitted or who
take increased endowments, after the 13th
of January, 18V, are to be sent to our new
medical officer. In each and every case the
examination must be on the new form for
all Sir Knights initiated after 1st November,
1880, and for all increased endowments.
The new forms can be obtained of the Gt.
R. Keeper. In each and every case 10 cts.
must be sent to the Gt. Medical Examiner-
in-Chief, with each examination form,
and until the fee is so sent the Gt. Medical
Officer will not report the Sir Kt. to the
Gt. R. Keeper as having passed the medi-
cal examination. And no certificate of en-
dowment can issue until such report is re-
ceived by the Gt. R. Keeper from the Ot.
Medical Officer.

Never in the history of the Order was the
outlook so bright. We look to see 5,000
additional members initiated within the
next three months.

We have good officers ; we have a good
Constitution and Endowment Law, and ex-
pect to have the best Constitution and En-
dowment Law of any order, when the new
Constitution is issued, which we hope to see
out in 18 days or two weeks.

Now let every Officer and Sir Kt go to
work with a will. You all have something
to work for now.

We shall continue to give all views of

paper.

We expect every Tent, every Officer and
all true Sir Kts. who want to be posted to
send US their subscriptions. Only 50 cent*
for one year, or 25 cents for 6 months
This is, however, the last number that will
be sent to any Sir Kt, except to regular
subscribers. If yon want a good live
Society fpaper, aend along your anbscrip-
tiont.
