Business and Passing on Names
Entitled to Vote.

To elect a successor to the late Bishop
Satterlee. the Episcopal diocesan conven-
ton is in session in Trinity Church. Sd
and c streets. today.
The morning was devoted to routine busi-
ness and action on the list of delegates
who have a right to vote.
Nominations were in order when the
convention reassembled after luncheon.
and it is expected the balloting for bishop
will begin about o'clock. Although there
were many conferences between knots of
delegates during the morning and the
lunch hour. sentiment apparently did not
crystalline in favor of any one candidate.
and many of the delegates expressed
themselves as bSng entirely at sea as to
who will be chosen head of the dio-
cese.
An attempt to raise the salary of the
Bishop Of Washington from $4,000 to
$4,000 failed, large majority declaring
against the proposed increase
The question of salary was discussed
at length. c. H. Stanley moved that
the stipend be $1,000 instead of 5000.
1t was brought out by one of the speak
ers that the salary. as fixed by for
mer convention. was $4,000. but that
Boston the Cathedral chapter of the
diocese voted to add $4,000. BY that
action DR.. Mann was offered a salary
Of $4,000. Speakers who opposed the in
crease objected to a further tax on the
country parishes.
Rev G. C. Carter moved that a COM
mittee Of five laymen be appointed to
consider ways and means to increase the
Episcopal endowment fund, which pro-
vides money for the bishops salary and
expenses. The resolution was adopted.

O'Clock, with DR.. McKim presiding He
outlined the bishopric situation. After
mentioning the offer to DR.. Mann of BoS-
ton diocese he called attention to the
declination of that rector
