preparations for an unconditional surrender to
Times puts 1t.
William Henry Hurlburt, of the New York
World, was Ia the city yesterday. Anything to
peat T1lden and anything to nominate Bayard
is Mr. Hurlburt's motto.
1t Is not likely that the rumor that Senator
Cameron will vacate his place at the head OF
the republican national committee i'm the Chi
cagO convention to Mr. George C. Gorhau is
true. Such move would prove as damaging
10 Mr. Cameron as to his party.
The republicans of the 18th Illinois dis
trtct have nominated Hon. D. c. Smith for Con-
gress.
The Chicago Journal yesterday published an
interview with Col Fred Grant. in which he
declares his father will not withdraw as pre-
sidential candidate and expresses the belief
that he Will be nominated and elected.
Ohio friends OF the Hon. Henry B. Payne are
now talking OF again running him for Congress

not take him up.

The New York correspondent OF the Phtladel-

Is that the Chicago convention will be one
OF the most harmonious assemblageS of
the kind ever Witnessed that there will be no
difficulty In making such a nomination as will
command unanimous support; and that those
who are dlSsenters now are expected to be
among the most enthusiastic supporters of the
ticket when the ticket is made UP. He adds
There are ciiques and factions who just now,
Will have this or that other man, or none at all:

good harvest both here and in France where
the appearance of the wheat is all that could be
desired. Some rain would do good but a con-
dnuance OF the dry weather Will do no harm.
II the promised yield Is realized both here and
in France, it is expected that the competition
VIII be larger with the production OF the United
states than ever before known, and will reduce
the price OF wheat one pound per quarter, which
will mean saving to France and England

BISHOP PINKNEY's REPORT
Bishop Pinkney submitted his report,
showing 1910 combinations during the
year. He called attention to the amounts
offered as salaries TO the clergy in
rural parishes, and advised that those who
receive large salaries should assist their needy
brothers. He said, too, that the contributions
to the mission work are altogether Inadequate.
Only 5000 was given for this cause, yet they

had the men and money. He could get the men
II he had the money. He suggested that every
COMMUNICATE should this year give 81 for this
cause. The educational work of the diocese
also needs patronage and endowment. The
church that takes hold OF childhood is true to
her mission: The bishop spoke encouragingly
OF the work among the colored people In the
diocese. and as to The proposed monument to
the late Bishop Whitungham, said that some
men were too great for monument. BiShop
WnlttlngndpQ was one OF UnaC class. He thought
that the proper care Of the library left to The
diocese by the late bishop, and the appoint
menJ OF his daughter as librarian at an ade-
Quate salary would be the best expression they
could give to the love they bore the deceased.
He was willing that the widow of Bishop Whit
tingham should continue to occupy the episco-
pal residence. Bishop Pinkney advised unity
Of the church In protesting against the errors
of Rome. All efforts to move the church from
her ancient mo0rage should be resisted. In this
connection the bishop condemned the elevation
OF the elements In the communion service SO
as to be gazed upon by the congree atom and
bowing, &C., during the service.
