between him and the bishop and between
him and the congregation are most cordial.
He expects to go to Europe for a rest, to be
absent indefinitely, but beyond that his
future is undetermined.
DIR. Browns attention was called to
published statementsto tie effect that fric-
ton had arisen between him and the

the charge to be untrue. He said the bishop
called upon him before he left for New

Ii is understood that whatever differences,
if any there may have been, between the
bishop and the rector, there was no rupture.
Differences, it is declared might develop be-

pursued in advancing the interests of the
congregation, the bishop and the rector be-
ing unable to agree upon the details.

the vacant position. The veStry will then
act upon the nomination.
Members of the veStry agreed in saying
that mystery attended the action, and
that there is the best of feeling between all
parties concerned. They declared that they
had only the highest esteem for the rector,
and that there had been i'll feeling, or
the suspicion of any, between him and the
church.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Tentative Plans for Erection of
S4OO. 600 Building.

The Chamber of Commerce is to have
100000 building. Tentative plans were ap-
proved at a meeting of the building COM
mittee at GUIDES Hall yesterday afternoon.
The report of a subcommittee was submit
ted and the chairman, c. ]. Bell, was au-
thorized to appoint committee of seven to
arrange the details for submission at the
annual meeting of the chamber.
The report of the subcommittee, which
was approved yesterday. provides for the
erection of a building to cost not more than
100000. OF that amount 100000 is to be
obtained by loan on the building and the
other 100000 by the issue of stock to the
members of the cchamber. There was diff
ference of opinion as to how the stock
should rate. Some of the members favored
Inc issue of per cent preferred stock with
common stock issued share for share. bear
ing interest at the rate of from 2k to per
cent. A compromise suggested that
the preferred stock should be made CT for
per cent and no common stock issued. The
matter was left for final settlement to the
subcommittee.
Subcommittee Of Seven.
The meeting agreed that subcommittee
OF seven, with Mr. Bell as chairman, should
be appointed to select site and work out
the details for financing the project.
1t was decided, in the interest of quick
action, that President Harper should ap-
point the subcommittee at once and call
meeting for next Monday evening with the
regular June meeting of the chamber to fol-
low Wednesday. 1t is believed that the sub
committee will be ready to report to the
full meeting of the chamber when it is held,
after which there will be nothing to prevent
going ahead with the WORK.
Enthusiasm is manifested in reference to
the plan for the S4O0,ON building and it is
thought there will be little difficulty in rails
ing the necessary funds. The completion Of
the building with the speed the modern
structures are erected will be only a small
matter and the members believe that once
