The Daily Telegraph today devote'
an article TO the exposition in which ii
declares that the commercial communal

torest in the matter and urges firm ad
herencc to the policy the government
mas adopted.
The Daily Telegraph says it sought
to obtain the view of the lord mayo,
of London on the exposition question,
but that he declined to commit himself
beyond saying that the government s
decision was absolutely free from any
unfriendly feeling.
LONDON. Aug. S.-Tbe Daily Chron-
icle, in aD editorial warmly supports
the stand taken by tho Times Thurs
dsy morning, that the government made
mistake in refusing TO participate at
San Francisco and that the mistake
should be rectified.
Sir Henry Truemau Wood, who was
secretary OF the royal commission TO
the Chicago exhibition in 1898. and has
acted FOR the British government at
various other exhibitions, including that
held in Paris in 1889. in letter TO the

the Ogden terminal Will be the only
parcel post distributing point between
