MEMPHIS , Tcnn. , March 23. The con

nearly two weeks , will adjourn slno dlo nt
the morning session tomorrow. All thnt Is
left for ( tie delegates to the sovereign
cntup to do Is to Install officers and have
tlio in I miles read and approved. It wits
after 3 o'clock today when llio camp con
cluded the final work on the constitution
.ind by-laws of the order , but after they
Lad concluded with the consideration of the
sections separately a motion unanimously
prevailed adopting tiho revised constitution
and laws as a whole. This was the real end
to the business of the meeting.
The members of the camp feel that tills
la the most Important meeting that has
CVCT been held by the sovereign camp.
There -were probably over a hundred
changes recommended by the committee on
laws for the constitution , but the very
largo majority of them were rejected.
1'rdbably .tho . most Important change that
wna made at the session today was as testate
state camps. It was decided that here
after In any state In which there are 10,000
members the order can have a conventional
camp with Its own officers.
On December 31 of this year the contract
with Head Consul Frost of Atlanta , tinder
which ho has charge of all the organiza
tion work under the jurisdiction of the
southern provisional council , will cxplro and
It 'Will ' not tea renewed. This was decided
today. It Is claimed that this will relieve
the southern camps of what Is considered a
burden In the way of conducting their busi
ness affairs.
ARBITRATION THE MAIN CARD
Preparing Instructions for the United

Conference.
NEW YORK , March 23. A special from
Washington says ; There Is reason to be-
llevo thnt an Important proposition looking
to the settlement of International disputes
'by arbitration will be advanced at the com
ing disarmament conference by the Ameri
can delegates.
It Is. learned on high authority that the
credentials for nnd Instructions to the
American delegates are now being prepared
by Secretary Hay and will bo ready for sub
mission to the picsldont for his approval
when ho returns to Washington from his
southern trip. T - instructions will bo a
complete exposltlu : . of the attitude of this
government on the question of disarmament
und arbitration.
Following the policy which It seems likely
that all the nations will adopt , President
McKlnley will accredit the minister to The
Netherlands as one of the American dele
gates. Ambassadors White nnd Tower will
pro'bably ' too the other members of the
American delegation.
The administration Is strongly In favor of
arbitration as the means for the settlement
of disputes bet-ween nations , and while It
appreciates that there arc a number of con
troversies that can only bo settled by war , It
Is still believed that many que tlons which
arise and are causes of much friction can bo
arbitrated.

LONDON , March 23. At the banquet of
the Orltlsh Economic association I'rof ,
Ashley delivered nn interesting address on
thu position of truste In the United Suites.
I'rof. Ashley said the trusts were mainly
the outcome of on effort to get rid of tlio
jffccts of cutthroat competition. The public ,
In his opinion , had greatly exaggerateu
their power to rule prices. He contended
ttiat the general tendency of trusts In the
United States was In fact to lower prices ,
as had been seen In the case of the Standard
Oil trust. Undoubtedly the trusts gave nil
advantageto the capitalists , but they also
tended to'secure steadiness In the rate ot
remuneration for labor and to promote con
tinuity of employment and nn Increased
btnblllty In Industry.
