THAI much depends upon the decision of the
committee as to whether the convention
VIII meet in the summer or fall. If the

the fail either Washington or Baltimore
will be selected

interested that the convention will assem-
BILE in the fall, and about a week previous

which begins in Washington October D.
1898 Should the brotherhood convention
meet at the time Indicated it would be
most convenient for a large number of
bishops and others whom the members of
the brotherhood always desire to attend

always much larger than one held in the
west or nea- that section, the former sec
ticn having the larger brotherhood men,
ership. and the larger the gathering the
greater the enthusiasm. At the Buffalo
convention couple of months ago. and
V hich international there were about
1000 delegates present The '9S conven-
ton will be composed of delegates from the
United States only. but ii is thought that
if held in Washington fully 1000 delegates
will attend.

more working hard to secure the con-
vention for their civ. but. 1t is stated, do
not want it unless it is held in the fall.
