MORE SPACE IS GRANTED.
French Exposition Officials Liberal to
the United States.

Chicago, July 7.-Commissioner Cen
erai Peck is elated at the feeling of the
French government and of the sxposi-
ton officials at Paris toward the
United States. He has just received
an official cable from the minister of
public works, through Ambassador
CambOn, stating that the right to con-
struct n pier landing at the United
States building has been granted. This
has been a matter of negotiation for
eight months and there were serious
difficulties to overcome and he feels
largely indebted to Ambassador Cam
bon for the result.
He is also in receipt today of cable
from the assistant commissioner gen.
eral announcing that d special area of
10000 square feet has been set apart
for an American limited railroad train
which he thinks will reflect great cred
it upon the American display.
The Southern Pacific Railway conf
pany has agreed To aid in the constrUc-
ton of the forestry building and Will
send logs to Paris of a diameter that
will make a startling exhibition. The
area for the life-saving service station
has been doubled by the liberality OF
the French officers and every other
concession that has been asked since
the return of the commissioner general
last May, has been granted by the
French people.
The space diagrams in many of the
departments are completed and being.
sent out To the exhibitors for their def
mite approval.

Another Resolution at Christian En-

DON'T WANT HIM SEATED
SQUABBLE OVER QUESTION OF
ATTENDANCE AT MEETING.
Detroit Papers Complain That Num-
Der of People Brought to That City
By Reason of Endeavor Conven-
ton Has Not Been What Was Ex-
pected or Promised.

Detroit, Mich, July THE mooted
question of the number of people
brought into Detroit by the Christian
Endeavor convention cropped out at
the end of tonight's session in Tent En-
deavor, when Secretary Baer took Occa-
sion to publicly criticize the Detroit
newspapers for saying that the influx
of delegates from other states was not
nearly as great as had been antici-
pated in the local committees eSti-
mate. Mr.. Baer said he had no state
ment yet to make as to the attendance
as compared with other years He
promised to make one later, but he
called on all Endeavorers present 10
rise. a large majority of those present
stood up, which Mr.. Baer assumed to
be proof of his view of the attendance
question.
The newspapers estimate of the to-
tai visitors is 10000 in round numbers.
Mr.. Baer denied that anybody connect
ed with Christian Endeavor committees
had ever told Detroit people that they
had reason to expect that $4,000 En-
deavOrers would attend. At all events,
the secretary insisted that the Christian
Endeavor tents had never been before
so crowded, and OVERLOOKED at every
one of the main meetings.
Bishop 3. w. Arnett (cOlored) pre-
sided over the Tent EndeavOr meet
ing. The Rev. DR.. Quayle of Indianap-
oils. one of the speakers on the even

been called to Kansas to the bedside Of

ments of mediation Of prayer by the
Rev. George f. Soper of st. Paul.
Song Service In Rainstorm.
The address of the evening was bv
President John Henry Barrows of
Oberlin college. During its delivery the
rain descended, increasing until the
noise on the roof almost drowned the
sound of DR.. Barrows' voice. and he
was compelled to desist. Umbrellas
We're raised all over the tent, but COM
paraGvely few left, and the crowd
stayed and sung song after song, over
coming all sounds of the storm and all
ideas of increasing discomfort. At
length the rain ceased long enough to
allow DR.. Barrows to proceed.
Largely attended evangelistic SER
vices were held during the noon hour
at factories, public squares and
wharves throughout the city. The after
noon was given up to conferences in the
larger churches.
Another resolution was announced
protesting against the seating of Con-
gressman-elect Brigham II. Roberts of
Utah. Both resolutions will be SUBJ
mitted to the general convention for
adoption.

GLOVE TRUST TIE NEXT.
Effort to Secure Options On All the
Factories In the Country.

= New York, July THE proposed for
nation of a s2O,OOO.OOO glove trust to
control the glove trade of the United
States has met apparently slight en-
enlargement among the glove manu-
facturers of this city. The plan for a
trust originated in Chicago, and Owing
ton Ross of the Hall & Husking Glove
company of that city has been in New
York. JOhnstown and Gloversville to
sound the various glove manufacturers
on the advisability of forming a combi-
nation.
The promoters. it is understood say
they have an option on all raw stock
and picked skins. so that manufactur-
ers who do not become members of the
trust will be prevented from Obtaining
raw stock and will subsequently be
squeezed out of the business. The new
combination will be known as the Ma
tional Glove company, which hopes to
include the large glove manufacturers
all over the United States.
