False Reports - The COnfisca tiOm Of
Church Property
New YORK, August 11.-A letter
from Rome says there are reports
about the dying condition of two lead
ing personages in the Vatican. Some
of the opposite party are so impatient
to have the Pope and Cardinal An
tonelli out of the way that they fire.
quently put afioat exaggerated re-
ports, which we disregard
The official journal of Rome pub
fishes occasionally report of the pro-
gress made in the sale of confiscated
ecclesiastical property. While the
amount disposed of from 1867, when
the law was passed, up to the end of
June of the present year is represented
by the sum of four hundred and six
million francs. the Government has
come into possession of somewhat
more than ninety million dollars from
this source.
Tilton- -Beecher-MOuitOn's Statement.
New YORK, August 1.-THE press
is reticent to-day relative to Tilton-
Beecher, but the general tendency of
impression and sentiment is that
MoultOn's statement fails to furnish
any proof in validating the defense,
buC IdlllCI ltIltS W COllllI Ill ttiC lQttcl.
Beecher's friends in the committee and
his counsel, while silent, cannot con-
ceal the evidence of good spirits and
mental relief. The most significant
utterance attributed to Moulton is his
renewed assertion that Beecher's Of
Tense was one which man could for
give-a wrong which could be con-
doned; and they were forgiven and
condoned. This, without explaining
the offense, tends to show that there
could be nothing inconsistent with
Beecher's high character. Beecher's
friends and counsel all scout the idea
of listening to any compromise, and
are growing into conviction that the
developments tend to show attempts
by some of the mutual friends to black
mail Beecher. 1t looks like an effort
to get money to send Tilton to Eu-
rope.
White, of the Investigating Com
mittee, says that the delay in the pub
lication of Moultons statement and
accompanying letters was for the pur-
pose of comparing the documents.
Another member of the committee
says it is plain, from looking at the
letters in full as presented by Moul-
ton, that there has been q good deal Of
garbling in the extracts heretofore
hard garbling, indeed wicked garbling,
as the public would see when they are
published. He adds that the parts
omitted from previous publications are
essential to show their real meaning.
Moulton's own private admissions in
dicate that his testimony lacks the
evidence sustaining Tilton's charges.
Words, Mere Words.
NEW YORK, August 12.-There is
nothing new in the Beecher case, eX-
cept rumors of attempts at reconcilia-
tion and compromise. Moulton's
statement is still withheld. Beecher
may not submit any, but prefer to ad-
dress the Committee in person. His
friends are jubilant over Shearman's
assertion, that he will come out of the
case as clear as crystal.

EFT, Il. A. Scott, w. HI. Vanderbilt,

Theodore Will not Compromise.
NEW YORK, August 12.-Tilton has
declared most emphatically that he
will not compromise the case with
Beecher, and that he has told Gods
solemn truth to the Committee.
Butler is reported to have said that
Moulton's statement would kill
Beecher.
