Foreign diplomats are awaiting with much cur iosity to see if the speaker, pre.iidine, officer of the Mexican congress, will again declare that there is no quorum present when the chamber of deputies meets this afternoon. Under a statute of the Mexican constitution congress automatically dissolves in the event of there being no quorum present for three consecutive days. It is believed by many diplomats that this is the method Htierta is taking to end the present session, fearing that they would declare his election illegal. The speaker, who is under the control of Hucrta, declared yesterday that no quorum was present, although the'r opponents maintained that there were enough present to constitute the quo rum necessary to do business.

Dur ing that time the Association has fur nished a place of amusement and rec reation for many of the boys and men of Albany. During the afternoon and evening the association is one of the business places in the city, and men and boys are constantly coming and going. Besides this the associatioin has made a good beginning in Bible class work, and in conducting religious meetings. During the last month a competent physical director has been secured who is now giving regular in structions to both the boys and th men. This is greatly appreciated by 'the people of Albany. The association is a wholesome place for boys to con gregate and to spend their leisure time. It is much better that they should be there than loitering in the business streets of Albany. If the association had a more mod ern building, equipped with a swim ming pool and other more modern conveniences it could, of course, do more effective work. Considering the equipment, the association has done magnificently during the time that it has been in operation, and the interest in association work has been growing constantly. ' There are now enrolled over 250 members, and it is hoped that by the time the association 'has been existence a year that fully three hundred members will be enrolled. Every citizen of Albany should be interested in the association work, ind should help to support it both by his influence and by his financial con tribution. The Y. M. C. A. is rec ognized the world over as the right hand arm of the churches. The i. M. C. A. is not another denomination, but is sumply an institution operated by the Christian men of the commun ity regardless of their denomination. It is the church at work seven days in the week. The local association was organised las February, and at that time took over the Alco club propertv, and as sumed the Alco prope'-ty indebted ness, which in round numbers amount ed lo $6000. The building Ins been remodeled since then, and consider able equipment has been purchased. In all somctlting like $.1500 wn.i ex pended this last year in maimainiu; the association work. A ".ireful esti mate was made of the rtinnni.r ex penses for this coming year, and it was found necessary that at Ic.ist S4.100 should be provided to meet the necessary expenses and the shortage of $.W for last year. It is estimated tli n t about ?2KX) can be secured front membership fees and other available sources, and that the balajn-c of !?2.WO should be made up by sinsc :pt;on The six committees tint were om this last week secured and have 'r d'ht $17l. which still leaves a deficit if about $(;0 that must be provided or. The directors of the associatio: feel that they should not incur obIt;,'a lions unless they sec the means i. sight for meeting them. Th budget a it now stands lias been cut down as much as it can be without seriously crippling the work of the association. and it is hoped that the men and wo men of Albany will come forward and make up this balance needed lo place the work of the association for tiiis coining year on a sound basis. The Y. M. C. A. work in Albany is still in its infancy, and as tin jcars go by the work of the association will be extended and broadened. The in fluence of an organization like the Young Men's Christian Association cannot be measured in dollars and cents, it is a character building insti tution, the influence of which extends on through eternity.
