Police Donahue at his office Monday morn
ing. Lest we be unmindtul OF the city

DANGER FOR CONRIED.
Orchestra Mag Strike in Synap0thy

The demands Of the Chorus Singers Union
of the Metropolitan Opera House, it has been
decided, will be formally submitted to Mr.. Con-

for signed agreement for an increase in wages
from SIS to $25 week.
The ultimatum to be submitted will depend on
the action taken by the Central Federated Union

secret meeting of the executive committee Of the
Central Federated Union the demands were in

but that even an all-star cast of singers could
not give an opera If the orchestra struck. The
delegates of the Musical Mutual Protective

not attend the meeting of the Central Federated

THE HUDSON TERCENTENARY.
Some Reasons for the Great Proposed Per
manent Exposition.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Much has been said in the last six months
in regard to the proposed permanent exposition to
be opened in 1909 on the Hudson River at Yer
planck Point to celebrate the discovery Of the river
by Hendrick Hudson in 1909. That this would be a
rnagnifcent means of celebrating this great his
tortc event there is question, but exposition
of this character means much more to New-York
City to the State and to the whole United States
than the celebrating Of the discovery of the Hudson
River in 1909.
1t gives to New-York City what it needs and
should have place where the strength, the great
ness and the advantages of New-York City can be
shown to the whole world and at place that offers
every advantage that be asked for in designing
this great exposition.
Easy of access by both land and water, a line Of
turbine steamers will reach the ground from the
city in little more than hour; by the New
York Central and Hudson River Railroad In 1orty
minutes from 42d-st. at that time the electric
service will be complete. or from what Will be the
minutes, as the city will be well above Yonkers IN
its up-riyer march.
Why should such an exposition be held in New
York State and on the Hudson RIVER because
il is to be held all this of all others IS the one
place that offers advantages that offered in no
other place in this country for from an parts OF
York; in fact every road and every waterway leads
to New-York, and because there is Worid-WIde de-
mand for such an exposition. II this country does
not provide it, France Germany or EtnSland Will
and we will have lost an opportunity for adding to
our strength commercial country tnSet loIls
years will not return TO US. The opportunities OF
this great exposition are too vast TO De even iel-
toned here but should be put before the public at
this time in detail the interests OF all are ana
will be centred in this exposition .crv
