Tiie meeting occurred in the old Green Dragon tavern.

It was composed of delegates from three chapters, St. Andrews chapter of Bos ton, King Cyrus chapter of Newbury -port, and Temple chapter of1 Albany, New York. These delegates met for the purpose of organizing a grand chapter, but what they really accomplished was tiie organization of the general grand chapter of the United Statvs. This hody subsequently m.w$. to the various grand chapters, that of Massachusetts, as above stated, being issued in the following March.

The centennial of the general grand chapter was appropriately observed two years ago in Baltimore, and was one of the most memorable Masonic events that lias ever taken place in this country.

The guest of honor will be Judge Lemmon of Ohio, who is the general grand high priest of the United States. A medal will be struck for the occasion.

London, 24. Canada's proposition for a permanent settlement of the Alaskan dispute is very different from her former demand that was delivered to Clioatc by the Canadian minister of marine and fishing and despatched to Washington. It agrees that the boundary line be arbitrated by a similar tribunal to the Veneztilean, and as a condition precedent to arbitration, that the Skaguay and Dyra be conceded to the United States without further claim if Canada received Pyramid harbor. In other words, Canada gives up much of the gold country in return for a seaport, but stipulates that she must receive the latter before she agrees to arbitrate on the boundary line. London, Oct.

The creed was ratified at the convention yesterday by practically a unanimous vote. It is as follows: Article 1. We believe that the Holy Scriptures of the Old and the New Testaments contain a revelation of the character of God and of the duty, interest and final destination of mankind. Art. 2.

We believe that there is one God, whose nature is Love, revealed in one Lord, Jesus Christ, by one holy spirit of grace, who will finally restore the whole family of mankind to holiness and happiness. Art. 3. We believe that holiness and happiness are inseparably connected, and that believers ought to be careful to maintain good order and practice good works, for these things are good and profitable unto men. The essential principles of the Universalist faith: The universal fatherhood of God.

The spiritual authority and leadership of his son Jesus Christ. The trustworthiness of the Bible as containing a revelation from God. The certainty of retribution for sin. The finai harmony of all souls with God. See third page for City News every day..
