SOME FACTS THE COUNCIL SUPPRESSED Jnililti I'lcnrp * frum llic Kopurtof the Kant- em IJ.tpurls and > Muit In to He flatli- cr cl Tlicrvfrriiii I'rixncct iif u NeuI'liint. . At the stnr chamber session ot the city council tomorrow morning the ( mcsllon will be discussed of how much the city ought to pay for Its electric lights ? The estimate recently mnde by Stone and Webster , elec trical experts , of Boston and Chicago , will guide the council In Its deliberations. The contents of this communication have been carefully kept secret by the counclltncn , but The Bee ts able to give the public Ihc Information which the council seems fll to suppress. Two estimates were made , one on a plant suitable * for present needs , the other for those of the future. In the first estlmato the calculations are made on a basis of 200 arc lights of a full 2,000 candle-power each , and 2.000 Incandescent burners. The cost of the entire plant , with the exception of the land upon which the buildings stand , Is estimated at ! i.r,00 , and the cost of opera tion , together with repairs , depreciation ot the plant In value , Insurance , and G per cent nterest on the money invested , at J12.000. ill * , It Is figured , makes each arc light forth JSl.SO per annum. The city Is now mylng $92 per annum , and private consumers re paying J1CO per annum. In the second estimate calculations arc on he b.i ls of 2.V1 arc lights of the Mine capac- ty. 2,000 candle power , and 1,000 Incaniles- -nt burner * . The cost of the plant is alciilHtcd to be $78,500 , and the cost of iprratlMK each light about ? SO. Buth of htsc estimates arc based on what in known s the Philadelphia schedule , in which nl- owanccg are. made for moonlight nights , would cost but a trifle more , however , to have the lights run all night , for the same amount of help would have to be employed "n eltluT r-us-e , and but little more fuel would bp required. Thfsr figures are somewhat disappointing o the gentlemen composing the Economic eague , ut whose request the firm of Stone ml Webster was engaged to make the sur- ey. Both the cost of the plant : iml the expense ol its operation are figured higher : han these gentlemen had expected , and that Hake ? the cost of each Individual light con- 'hUrably ' higher. The Economic leaguers mil hoped to get the price ot arc lights ilown to ICES than ( DO. In spite of their disappointment. It Is evi dent that If Stone and Webster are not oft n their calculations , the people of Council "Huffs are paying a good , round sum for holr lights. The cllyp which buys light at wholesale , and might be expected to get It at wholesale rales , pays $11 per light more every year than the retail price given by Stone nnd Webster. And the private In- illvldttals pay nearly twice as much as the retail price. Several llrms are figuring upon putting up n plant hert > , and It IK prob able that the competition between them will result In Iho city's getting teims that will be something like fair. 11OS1O.N DlHsuIutlim Sato.

WASHINGTON , Aug.2S. The feature of the Pythian encampment was thu grand parmU of the uniform rank this afternoon. Fifteen thousand knights were In line , marching by state brigades and the procession was more than two hours polling the presidential re viewing stand. I'ennsylvanla avenue was crowded with mote than 100,000 people , a largo proportion of them visitors from out of the city. The president reviewed the pro cession from n small stand erected on the curbing Just In front of the White house. A few minutes after 4 o'clock hoem.rged from the executive mansion In company with Colonel Klao , chief of staff representing the Knlghth of Pythias and Colonel Wllscon , United States engineers. The president's appearance was greeted with cheers by a crodw of several thousand people assembled about the whoto house. He walked slowly to the western gate and thence along the sidewalk , which had been enclosed by ropes to the stand. As he stood up the great crodw broke Into cheers and handcUppIng , which contin ued for several minutes , while the object of thlii attention removed his bat and bowed ils acknowledgements. Then ensued a rather llsagreeable wait for the procession , which fas late. The president seated himself and raited patiently for tlfttcn minutes before he head of the line appeared. Then he arose ml as the knights swept past ha acknovvl- dged the salutations of the commanding olll- ers by bowing. Hanks wer formed In the camp around Vashtngton monument , whence at I o'clock he body started. Their line cf march was hrough the white lot , past the executive nanslon , and down Pennslyvanla avenue to he Peace monument , In fiont of the cip- tel , whence the body countermarched up ho avenue U the Treasury department. The cene was n. brilliant one , looking down the nlle stretch of the avenue , w.th datible lines f marching men , buildings covered with Hinting and spectators at all the windows nd packing the open spices and Improvised tands. At the head of the line rode the members of the citizen's committee. In black lollies and silk hats , and escorted by the hrco crack military organizations of the ity. After them came Major General Carna- lan and his staff on horseback. All the cnlghts were uniformed In black broadcloth , rock coats , with silver buttons , red belts and white or silver helmets with heavy carlet plumes. Their officers were mounted and richly uniformed. Every division was leaded by a ban dand displayed hsndscmc banners. Major General Carnahan reviewed he line near the Treasury department on ts return march and th review ivus not ; nded until after 7 o'clock. Tonight the Jnltcd States Marine band gave a concert n Convention hall. SUPREME LODGE : SESSION OPENS. The conclave of the supreme lodge was : alled to order by Supreme Chancellor W. W. 3lackwell In Builders Exchange hall at 10 o'clock. Great secrecy was observed and the entrances were carefully guarded. The su- ireme ofllcers wore crepe badges on their irms as a token of respect to the late Past Supreme Chancellor Shaw of Wisconsin. The roll call was answered by delegate ? rom nearly every state and territory. Su- ireme Chancellor Blackwell and Supreme keeper of the Records and Seals II. W. IVhlte read their biennial reports. The report of the supreme chancellor. W. IV. Blackwell , Knights of' ' Pythias , will Rt , ract wide attention , both Inside nnd ouuldj hs order , especially for the vliorim mariner n which he deals with tiuestlims arising 'rom what he terms an organized rebellion of certain persons who have persisted In publishing and using a German < rjniatlon of the ritual despite the refusal of the su preme lodge Lo permit SUCH , translations. He gives Uie following as the statistics of membership according to official leports to July 1 , 1894 ; Grand lodges. 51 ; nibordl- nate lodges , 6,262 ; total number of members , 40f',741 , a net Increase of 72,025 membeia during the past two years. "Tho financial condition , " he says , "Is most satisfactory. The order universal Is In a mosi prosperous condition , and the times -i-opUloui for a much greater Increase during the nc.xt two years than ever before In our hist-iry. 'No small amount of friction lias been engendered during the past two years , grow ing out of the action of the Kansas City ses sion , dissolving all connection hcmofore nominally recognized as existing- be tween the Pythian Bisters and the supreme lodge , and thereby bring ing this Institution under the ban of proscription through the vlopthn of a new ritual. I am of the opinion we are in honor sound to lift the ban. This can be done Ly special edict , making an ex.jjjM-jn so far , the operation of the law may aff--ct them and letting it stand as to all other organiza tions. " AMERICAN LANGUAGE GOOD ENOUGH. Under the head of "The German Question , " ; ho supreme chancellor says : "You are conFronted - Fronted with an open , defiant element of malcontents , who , having violated every principle of honor by having taken the law in their own hands and translated the ritual , now have the hardihood to come before you , recking with treason from head to foot , and under the guise of loyalty to ask you to grant them something they already have. Will the spirit of American doctrine , 'never to treat with treason' prevail , or will you go contrary to that other equally Important principle , 'that a majority must rule , ' and thereby forfeit your sovereignty by permit ting a handful of 'rule or ruin' members less than 13,000 all told to dictate the policy that must control the largo majority of 450,000 active American citizens In their fu ture management of this great order. "The time has come when Amsrlca must be Americanized. However hard It may ap pear temporarily the successful accomplish ment thereof will bs worth ail It may cost. I have urged upon our German brothers the necessity of losing their Identity as foreign ers by adopting the English language. In coming In fact American citizens , as they all profess to be , and of eliminating from their names and societies the prefix ot German- American , and thus relieving themselves of the unenviable dlstlncjlpn of being foreigners at all. Being American .citizens by adop tion , they enjoy every "privilege of one na tive born , and consequently are American citizens , pure and slinp'o. ' . Why should they then desire to be stljl classed as Americans with foreign prcdlleqtloas unless they have lurking beneath the .cloak ot adoption a secret love for the Jfatherland" which they are cultivating to the detriment of the best intents of this great .country ? Why should any fully recognized citizen of this country desire to be classed as a foreigner of any kind , when designation brings to him a certain kind of douhtfiil1 respectability com pared with that of simid * American citizen ship ? Who are the , tqreJgners of this coun try as generally accemfd by everybody ? A certain disreputable icjjrtl from Europa that have ben dumped In , upon us during the past twenty years , Mreaaed by anarchism , mallalsm , socialism' , 'Jjbodlumlam , und a thousand other 'isms' that are being se cretly cultivated to Hie , Disadvantage of our country's interests. J havi been accused ol classing every German brother with ( he above , but Instead have said to them : ' ] want to help you lift yourselves entirely out of such an unnivlalle classification by hav ing you mdorte the English language , prac tice what you endorse , eliminate any evi dence of forelgtilsm from your lodges am declare for a standard of measurement thai will require a reasonable understanding o the chosen and recognized language of the country In which you live before conferring the right ot full citizenship upon any man. "Having pledged our loyalty to the gov ernment under which we live I deem It our duty , and hop.i It may prove our pleasure to define that pledge to carry with It the promise to practice and use its chosen ant Belectol tongue ; believing as I do , that no foreigner , however Intclllg- , can become an American citizen in Us full acceptei Intent until he understands Ihu Kngllsl language. In defiance to our pledge o loyalty let us engraft upon our America : fraternity the strops statement that wo wll upht-ld , tittiln nd nilvnncc our country's ' la ) Kungo by hereafter Issuing our rituali only In the English language for use In tha United Stat 8 and the Dominion of Canndn , coupled with-the provision that France , Germany nnd other lands lining n different language shall be protected In the right of their national tongue whenever It becomes our pleasure to Introduce our order therein. If our German brothers arc unwilling la subscribe to this sublime theory then they nrj not the great citizens they profess and She sooner we know It the better. BAH TUB BARTENDERS , "Soms j-cars ngo this body granted per- nilfflon to the grand lodges to locally legis late as they might desire upon ( ho saloon clorent question and the eligibility ot owners and tenders thereof to miMnbirshlp. Under this perm sslon several grand lodges since have declared saloon keepers and bar- toilers Ineligible upon the ground of their business engagement having n strong ten dency to the cultivation ot Immorality , Imv- liuness nnd other disreputable habits con trary to the teachings of our order. Sur- ptlslng as It may seem to some , It la nevor- the less dcmonstratoblo that the grand ledges which have taken hold of the ques tion and legislated to exclude this doubtful material have not only succeeded In secur Ing the best material , but they also stand as the most active and progressive nmom ; the grand Jurisdictions , If It was the wish of the supreme lodge to experiment whi'n ptimission was granted grand lodges to locally test this question 1 am glad to re- pert the experiment most satisfactory. In f.ict , so strongly nm I convinced that the step Is one In the Interest of law , order , nicrallty , respectability , better citizenship and a higher knighthood , that I am con strained to conclude that the time has come wl.i-n we , as a great fraternity , should put aside policy , expediency or any other ques tion of doubt that may stand in the way and declare ourselves the leaders of reform by manfully facing this Important question and declaring that no saloon keeper , bjr- loiuler or professional gambler shall hereafter be considered as eligible to apply for in in- berflilp In any lodge ot this order. " Many topics are discussed and rccom- nendation made concerning the work of the rdcr. It Is recommended that th1 term of dicers of subordinate lodges b ; one year nstoad of six months , and that the use of astle lulls for burlesque "side ranks" be inhibited. It Is suggested that n rule be idcpted permitting such divisions as tiny leslre to exchange the sword for the gun ml thus bring the body more In harmony vltli current military Ideas. "I am strongly of the opinion , " says the iupreme chancellor , "that a general change rom sword to gun would bring a great re- rival and Influx of new members Into the nllltary branch of our order. I suggest that teps be taken to obtain the views of all the divisions upon the subject with the deter- nlnatton. If the majority so wish , to make he change. I am told that a good Spring field rifle , such as we could use , can be ptir- hascd In lots about as cheap as we niivr have 0 pay for swords. I suggest a commissioner or the purpose of Investigating. Should the dc.i prevail , I suppose It will be necessary to 'Main ' consent In each state to bear arms as 1 body. " STATISTICS OF THE ORDER. The report of the supreme keeper of record * and seal. R. C. L. White , says : The number of subordinate lodges December 31. 1S93 , was G.OOS , and the number ot members , 4I3C1IJ a net gain during the calendar year of 43G edges and 29.2G1 members , and u net gain luring the ye.ira 1S92 and 18K5 ! of 1.070 odgcs and 65,071 members. While this gain s not so large , either In subordinate lodges or members as that of the years 1S90 nnd S91 , It Is , considering the widespread finan cial depression , during the past eighteen nonths , both remarkable and gratifying , and t is believed to exceed that ot any other secret fraternal organization. December 31 , 893 , the total amount In the treasuries of he grand lodges was $190,889.10 and the amount in those ot the subordinate lodges was $1,883,442.65. The loiul amount of the assets of the subordinate odgcs at the same date was ? 7OC8,0.r.4.47. The amount disbursed for relief by subordl- iate lodges during the year 1893 was $1,205- 135.98 , while for the two years In 1892 and 1SD3 It was $2,379.374.13. The report of Thomas G. Sampton , supreme master of exchequer for the year ending March 31 last , Is recapitulated as follows : Totnl receipts during the year , J91.10S.S5. Total expenditures during the year. $32- 019.31. Balance , April 1 , 1694 , $29,039.53. The report of Major General James R. Carnahan , commanding the Uniform rank , says : Tne work of organizing new divisions lias been difficult , because of the financial de pression , and for the reason that our knights , For the most part being men of moderate means , have felt constrained to husband their resources. Notwithstanding this condition of affairs , wc have had a reasonably healthy ; rowth. During the two years ending Match 31 , 1892 , there have been received and ap proved applications for ISO new divisions. We had on March 31 , 1894 , the close of the last fiscal year , 1,107 divisions , representing a membership of 43,036 , being n net gain during the two years last passed of fi.lBO. From the best Information to be gained from the reports as made , the value of the property owned by the Uniform rank today aggregates very nearly $1,300,000. The Pythian Sisterhood association held a meeting at Grand Army of the Republic hall today. There were also excursions and a serenade by the Marine band. At the meeting of the supreme lodge , the tdaho delegate , J. W. Daniels , presented Supreme Chancellor Blackwell a gavel of silver and mahogany , and Delegate Walker of Montana presented him with a gold and silver Jewel. Delegate Lee of. Rhode Island elected official reporter and the supreme lodge rank was centered on several past chancelors. An early adjournment was taken In memory of the late Past Supreme Chan cellor Shaw. Indianapolis will probably bo the city chosen for the next encampment. The In diana delegates are urging the claims of their city , while Louisville has practically with drawn from the field as she will entertain the Grand Army next year If possible. Just before the meeting of the senate today the room of Vice President Stevenson was crowded with Knights of Pythias , wlsitors who thronged the capltol. Mr. Stevenson pointed out all the Interesting objects in the room and told some pleasing anecdotes. He was kept busy up to the time the senate met writing- his autograph for the visitors.
