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. J 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.

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.
