Mr. Fullerton : We should take the money from the 

 treasury. 



Mr. Meehan : Then the funds sohcited should go into the 

 treasury. 



Mr. Fullerton : Before the original motion is put I 

 think another clause should be added. The committee 

 should work in harmony with our secretary in regard to 

 this, because a lot of matter will come to him that would not 

 go to the committee. 



Mr. Titcomb : I think the committee should haye the 

 editing and publication of the transactions. 



President : Was not that included in }our motion ? 



Mr. Titcomb : That is intended. 



Mr. Fullerton : The secretary should be consulted. 



Mr. Titcomb : Of course. 



The motion as amended was unanimously passed. 



Mr. Stevenson : Before proceeding to the reading of 

 papers, I wish to sa}- that our esteemed secretary is lying 

 critically ill in Chicago, and I moye you, sir, that our acting 

 recording secretary be directed to send a telegram of sym- 

 pathy to Mr. Peabody at the hospital in Chicago. 



The motion was seconded and unanimously carried by a 

 rising vote. 



Mr. Titcomb: I suggest that the committee on resolu- 

 tions prepare that resolution. 



Mr. Clark : I suggest that it be sent tonight, and under 

 the acting secretary's name. 



So agreed. 



President : W^e will now hear the report of the committee 

 on nominations.

 nominations has requested me to make the following an- 

 nouncement :
