BISHOP SATTERLEE
OISLKES "CHAIN"
Improper Way to Raise
Money for Cathedral.

An endless chain has been started
by some well wisher OF the national
Protestant Episcopal Cathedral OF SS-
Peter and Paul 10 raise the funds for
building this magnificent structure. The
first intimation Bishop Satterlee had Of
this was when he received TWO sub
scriptions for the cathedral with the
WORDS. 80 as not 10 break the chain. %
Who started the chain has not been as
certained as yet, but there is evidently
one IN circulation. The bishop has is
sued a signed statement on the matter
and asks that no one embrace this op-
portunity OF contributing for he feels
the manner Of soliciting in an endless
chain, while doubtless kindly meant, is
unauthorized and unadvised. and not
the proper manner for funds TO be
raised for a cathedral
The bishop says in his statement:
Some kind friend Of the Washington
cathedral, unknown 10 me, has started
a chain subscription 10 raise money
for the building OF the cathedral. While
l am most grateful for iIis or her SYM
pathy and interest. and feel still stronger
gratitude toward those who have gen
erously responded, ] cannot but deplore
this method of collecting funds for 50

prayer IN Gods own way, and there

OBJECTION TO HAGUE
Permanency of the tribunal
Now Seems AS
Sured.

THE HAGUE. Aug. 17.-That the pro
posaI TO have periodical meetings Of
the Peace Conference without the neces-
sity for any power calling II will be
adopted seems now practically assured
That this result will be due to the
leadership in the councils of the con-
gress by me United States cannot be
gainsaid.
The only real opposition to the pro-
posal came from Germany and Russia.
The former power has indicated her
willingness to withhold her objections
purely as an act of friendship to the
United States. and Russia has decided
she will not stand alone in opposition.
II nothing else than this should be
accomplished by the congress, the
friends of peace would regard 1t as
justifying the congress. for it would
mean the beginning of real parlia-

PUMPING STATION MEN
MAY GET HALF-HOLDAY

The committee appointed by the Cen
rraI Labor Union to call upon the Com
rnissioners and protest against the Sat
1lrdav afternoon employment Of the ma
.chinists at work on the Bryant street
pumping station, held a conference with
Commissioners West and Morrow this
morning. The members OF the commit
tee are James F. McHugh. p. J. Ryan
and Emmet l. Adams.
The committee complained that the
four maehinists on the station work
were Disseminated against in the order
OF the Commissioners granting half hOl-
idays on Saturday 70 clerks alone, and
desired that they enjoy the same privi-
lege. Commissioner West said that he
would take the position that if the men
could expedienly be spared from the
work ne would recommend that the
order be extended to them. Commission
er Morrow was Of the opinion that there
is not the same necessity for a half hol-
iday for the machintsts as there is for
clerks. Both took the matter under con-
sideration, stating tosthe committee that
they would render their decision on
Monday.
About month ago THE Central Labor
Union addressed a letter TO the Commits
sioners making the same request, which
was replied 20 last Tuesday denying the
request on the grounds that the work
would nos permit of the men not work
ing the half day, and further tnat the
order applied only TO clerks. Whether or
not the two Commissioners will see fit
10 extend the order to the machinists
will be decided on Monday
Ihe committee stated that they did
not wish In any way to embarrass the
progress of the work, and that they
would have no objection to the men
working on Saturday provided IL was
necessary, but they did desire the same
the clerks.

.6RAZILAN EXPO.
PLANNED FOR 1908
No4Foreign Governments to.
Be Invited to Make
Exhibits.
King of Portugal Will Be
Among Visitors Who
Will Attend.

Director John Barrett. OF the Interna-
tional Bureau of American Republics
received information from the Brazilian
government this morning that an expo
sition Of great magnitude will be held
at Rio de Janeiro in 1908. This exposi-
'rion, like the Buenos Ayres exposition
which will be held in 1910. will be an
innovation in events OF this kind.
Instead of inviting the various gov
ernments to take part, the managers
will issue 20 invitation to any foreign
countries. The fair is to be distinctively
Brazilian, although the managers have
notified the United States Government
that any display that the manufacturing
interests or any other branch of busi-
mess cares 10 make will be welcome,
and a place will be allotted for it's ex-
elusive use.
Many Letters of Inquiry.
This is the policy the Argentine Re
public is following. and Director Barrett
says that already he has received more
than 500 letters from various industrial
interests asking for additional informa-
tiOn on the subject since II became
known that this would be the method,
and he says that he expects the demand
viii be equally as great for the Rio
exposition
Several million dollars have been
donated for this exposition, and IL Is
the purpose OF the Brazilian govern
tment to make it one Of the most COM
iplete that has ever been given. The
great structure used by that govern
ment at the St. Louis Exposition and
named the Monroe building In honor Of
rthe Monroe doctrine. will be in the
center OF the grounds around which all

In speaking Of the exposition this
morning Director Barrett said:
While no foreign governments will
be allowed TO participate, still IL viii
be one OF the largest eNpositiOns of
modern times. 1t is just like a large
reception where everybody Is invited
and all may come and be welcome, and
