LLOYD ACCEPTS Petition and Counter Petition Re girding His Election. HOUSE OF BISHOPS CONFIRM Majority of Clerical tad Lay Delegatee Of the Diocese of Oregon Keenest his Confirmation. Local Delegate Sign Last Petition, Not First One. f The Rev. F. E. Lloyd; D. D., of Uniontown, Pa; who armed ia fort land Friday evening, and who ia visit ing the diocese of Oregon for the purpose ot investigating the field, has decided to accept thtf office of bishop-coajutu tor to which he waa elected at the dio cesan convention, recently held in Port land. The Rev. J. E. Simpson, rector of Si Mark's Episcopal church, Portland speaks very highly of the Rev. Dr. Lloyd, whom he pronounces a atrong churchman. It is atated by many par ties concerned that church in this dio cese will receive quite an impetua for en larged work under the regime of the biehop-elect, as he is an able mission ary. The Rev. Geo. C. Tbomas, D. D., of Philadelphia. Pa., has notified the dio cese of Oregon that the Church Mission ary society will supply $500 a year toward the maintenance of the Epis copal residence of the bishop-coadjutor. Much is to be done in the field anff nearly everybody thinks that Dr. Lloyd is the man to do it. It is nut unlikely that the bii-hop-elect will visit Grace church here short ly. A special dispatch in the Oregonian yesterday sttt.td. that- tlhe rector of Grace church, tiiis city, Kev.

ASTORIA TOE LADDIES VICTORIOUS AT OREGON CITY Come Out Ahead in Dry Test But Lose Wet Test Ran On Flake. , . r i Astoria's hose tea mat the races at Oregon City Monday, were the victors in the dry test making the run ia 34 seconds and winning by 5 4 5 second over Vancouver, who took second place with a run in 39 4-5 seconds. Oregon City, in this race, made the run in 34 1-2 seconds, but was disqualified for not having the nozzle on three full turns. . ' The showing made by the Astoria, boys waa excellent, the run being made up a slight incline and thecart and hose weighing 300 pounds more than that of the Oregon City aggregation In the wet test, which was run Mon day morning, the Astoria boys lost on a fluke. The run waa loO yards to hydrant, 300 feet of hose being a reefed, a connection made, aonU pUae ed on and water obtained.. The. tine., was taken from the time of the atart to the time the water first came from the nozzle. Vancouver made the run ia 39 4-5 seconds, and Oregon City in 33 1-2. The Oregon City team was unfortunate la this race, the nozzleman slipping and falling.- That Astoria lost was due to Johnson, who was to break the coup ling where the nozzle was to be attach ed, becoming confused and running too far. Knutscn remedied the error, but too late for any good. Hot in Europe. Vienna, July 4. A terrible heat wave has been passing over Austria, and there have been numerous sunstrokes.
