THE EPISCOPAL COUNCIL.
Bishop SatterIee Reviews Church
Work in His Annual Address.

Bishop SatterIee Reviews Church
Work in His Annual Address.
The sixth annual council of the diocese
of washington began this morning at St
Thomas Church. A large number OF
clergy and lay delegates from the Episco-
pal parishes Of the diocese were present.
Divine services opened with morning
prayer. The sermon was preached by the
Rev. a R. Stuart. Of Christ Church. Holy
Communion was administered by the
Right Rev. Henry Yates Satter!ee, Bishop
of Washington. Assisting the bishop were
the Rev. r. 2. Williams, of Trinity
Church; the Rev. John \. AspinwaL, of
St Thomas Church; the Rev. Thomas J
Packard. of Christ Church, Rockville.
Md, and the Rev John H. Elliot, s. 7. D.,
of the Church of the Ascension.
The convention was called to order b
the Bishop, who delivered his annual ad-
dress He said this occasion marked the
passing into history of the first five years
of the life of the diocese Of Washington
He said that the diocese had a number Of
great advantages. among which were q
strong bond of union between clergy
and laity, city and country parishes, and
between the clergy themselves
one apparent disadvantage, however,
he said, was that many of the communi-
Cants were IukewaTm in their interest in
church affairs. This he thought, was
due more TO the neglect of the church
rather than to the inclination of the COM
municants. The bishop said more atten-
ton should be paid to the communicates,
and that with this end in view COM
municauts union had been formed. He
then briefly referred to the Cathedral, and
later touched upon the progress made
during the past year by the various chari-
table Institutions supported by the do
ceSe-
In conclusion he said that since the
Spanish-American war the nation had as
Euned a new responsibility as a world
power. and with II the burden upon the
church became heavier. He pointed out
that with the acquisition Of the new pos
sessions the number of Catholics within
the confines had almost doubled. and that
inasmuch as they were under the super
vision of an Italian abIegate stationed in
Washington the increase of eccleSiasti-
cism and political power was sure to be
stupendUuS-
The meeting then adjourned for lunch
con. and reconvened at 2-30 clock when
routine business was taken up. Tonight
there viii be a meeting of the missionary
workers of the diocese at St. Thomas.
and another session of the council viii
be held tomorrow morning.

CHICAGO, May S.-A title and abstract
trust is to be formed here during the COM
ing week, with a capitalization that viii
reach figures between s., 600, 900 and $780,
GO The formation of the corporation is
the outcome of negotiations between the
three title and trust companies operating
in Chicago. These concerns, whose pos
sessions in the way OF abstracts are far
more complete and valuable than those
in the vaults at the county. recorders Of
fee, arc as follows;
The Chicago Title and Trust Company,

Title and Trust Company, with capital
fzation OF $1.690.G00. and Title Guarantee
and Trust Company, with 9 capitalization
ard surplus amounting to SI.700000-
The combination results from a persist
ent course OF rate-cutting which has for
years wiped out good share of the an
nuaI profits of the three companies. As
they control the abstract industry a CO.
aHtion Of their interests places them in a
position TO dictate their fees

to sG5,OOO.00O by July IA Query
as to How the Bill Is to BE Paid.
PEKIN. May Sc a mD--The for
eign ministers held an important meet
ing yesterday to consider the question
Of the payment Of indemniues. i was
decided to propose no measure by
which any of the allied Powers would
guarantee the payment Of the indenni-
ties. but to inform Earl Ii Hung Chang
and Prince Ching, the Chinese peace
ENJOYS, that the bill by July l would
amount to SIS. GOO 00G-
It was further decided to ask the Chi
nese Observation-Disclosures how China pro
poses TO meet this bill. The minister's
after three months of negotiation and
consultation with experts were. there
fore. unable 10 agree upon a suitable
measure, and now request the Chinese
to frame a scheme for the payment Of
the indemni5ies and allow until July 1
for this TO be settled
The Chinese peace commissioners
VIII certainly consult with Sir Robert
Hart. the Imperial Commissioner Of
Maritime Customs. whose views as TO
how the money should be raised have

Advices have been received at the State
Department from W W RockhiI Special
Commissioner of the United States at

the prospects Of d harmonious agreement
on the indemnity question He says that
the claims of the Powers aggregate S3S1--
eo2O3l, and that there IS apparently no
prospect Of securing q reduction below
that amount
Mr. RockhiH is making an earnest en-
deavor to have the foreign representatives
reduce the aggregate to 500, 0g1, ,CJ1. but his
despatch shows that he has no hope that
he viii be successful The figures given
in his message are Size co higher than
the aggregate mentioned in press de
spatches as having been agreed on by the
foreign nesotiators-
The proposition in regard to opening
China 10 foreign trade, now under con-
sideration is understood not to apply
only TO Manchuria, but to all the provinces
OF the Empire China, has apparently
brought this suggestion to the attention of
the Powers in the hope that they viii
agree TO a reduction Of the pecuniary in
demHity in return for trade advantages
Great Britain has announced that she
will demand only S22-C.aG58 indemnity if
better trade advantages are afforded.
