and Stewart.
Mr. Berne
at onece
tried
to get in touch
with
his

but
it
was
impos-
sible
to
get
a full
gathering
on
such
a
short notice,
th2 hour
set
by
His Excel-
lency being 3.30 of said
afternoon.
How-
.
ever
at
the
appointed
time,
Messrs,
Berne,
Burnet, Corneiro, andiLevi called,
were
received
very
courteously
by
the
Governor,
who rewd

It acknowledged

The

of;
but

neither

neverthe-
less
he had given the
matter
his
serious
consideration,
had gone
over
it carefully
with administrative
cfficials,

inten-
g
ded
to
lay
it
