The failure of negotiations for the Mole
st. Nicholas will probably result in an
attempt to obtain the desired privileges
on the eastern side of the island from the
San Domingo Government. 1t is, per-
haps. not generally known that Admiral
Gherardi left POrt-au- Prince four weeks
ago, under cable orders to go direct to
SANTANA Bay and examine into its fitness
for a coaling station, and that, while
there, General HeureauX, President of
San Domingo, came from San Domingo
city in his yacht and was closeted with
the Admiral for several hours. There, no
doubt, the subject of conversation was
the establishment of naval station on
SANTANA Bay, and that the price is the
friendship and moral support of the
United States in the present difficulty
between San Domingo and Hayti. It is
too early to say that the United States
Government will receive the proposition
favorably, but Secretary Tracy is very
much in earnest, and the late action of
the Haytian Government has created a
feeling which is far from friendly to
Hayti. 1t is thought, as between the two
republics, the preference will be given to

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The fact that
no word was received at the Navy De-
partment to-day from the Charleston is
taken as an indication that she has gone
on down the Peruvian coast towards
Callao.
Respecting the reiterated statements
from Paris TO the effect that the insur-
gents have arranged to surrender the
Itata to the United States naval authori-
ties when she reaches Chile, the officials
of the Navy Department stand mute. 1t
may be stated, however, that there have
been no negotiations between this Gov
eminent and the Chilean insurgents upon
the subject. Still, it is plainly evident
that some kind of an understanding has
been, or is expected to be, reached which
viii result in an easy transfer of the 1tata
to either Admiral Mccain or Admiral
Brown, should she reach Chile. This, of
course, would not be in the shape of a
formal agreement, but an intimation may
have already been conveyed TO our naval
officers at Iquique that such course will
be pursued, and doubtless this has formed
the basis of many of the cablegrams that
passed between Washington and Iquique
during the last two weeks.

The Purse Awarded to the Latter on a
Foul.
NEW YORK, May PA special cable
to the Police Gazette, says: The oft-post-
poned prize fight between Dick Burge, of
Newcastle, and Jem Carney, of Birming-
ham, for $1,000 and the lightweight
championship of England was decided
to-day. The battle was fought in the
Hop Malt Exchange boxing-room. The
betting was e1OO to ESQ on Carney, and
several heavy bets were registered.
Carney had the best of the fighting
from the start, and punished Burge ter
ribly. After they had fought eight rounds
it was any odds that the champion would
win, and 9l00 to ESQ was laid by Chip
Norton. In the ninth round Carney
fought the Newcastle man to standstill.
In the tenth round Burge showed great
pluck, and made game effort to turn
the tables, but Carney landed his left
heavily on Burgess neck and fought him
to the ropes.
In the eleventh round Burge clinched
Carney. Desperate mitigating followed,
until they broke, when Carney knocked
Burge down by a tremendous blow on
the left ear. Burgess seconds, on seeing
their man defeated, shouted foul" and
to the surprise of all present, the referee
awarded the fight to Burge.
Intense indignation was expressed with
the decision. Carney cried like a child at
the injustice done him. The men fought
with two ounce gloves. Both pugilists
were terribly punished, especially Burge.
The fight lasted forty-two minutes.

NEW YORK, May %. = The Chilean
Minister has received a copy of the mes
sage of President Balmaceda, to the
Chilean Congress, which arrived April
10th last. In this he discusses the re-
belllon of the navy, which he speaks of
as without precedent in the naval history
of Chile. He says during period of
three months since the beginning Of the
revolution there is not an instance of a
single popular outbreak in favor of the
movement whose power is actually con-
fined to the ocean.
The fleet has been unable to keep
steadily or occupy any portion of the
territory containing any dense popula-
ton, and in order to do anything they
had to lombard the forts of the north,
and set on fire towns unfortified, operat-
ing against the cosmopolitan population
Of Tarapaca, and using hostiIities of
character worse than any of those en-
plOyed during the conquest of Chile.
The provinces OF the north are separ-
ated rom the country by an ocean upon
which the rebel Tieet dominates, and by
vast deserts. The reVolutioniStS sue
,ceeded in selling them after severe,
bloody combat. Their fleet has not had
sufficient strength to upset the lawful
Government, but it has shown enough to
disturb public order, and that its leaders
possess the courage necessary to sacrifice
the lives of children and spread mis-
fortunes and evils throughout the coun-
try. In speaking of his policy as Presi-
dent, Balmaceda says: Il tried to give
the National party participation in the
affairs iii proportion that could not in
cite jealousy and resistance. The Ma
tjOn2lS refused ~ render mo thar
ance, although their cooperation was i'm
posed by the cleareSt political sense A
struggle then ragged between the majority
in Congress and the executive power.
and l thought it my duty to close Con-
gresS i'll the hope that a short time of
reflection and calm would bring groups
OF the coalition to fair and reasonable
terms. Unfortunately the evil has been
done, and we have now to stand the de-
plorable consequences.
I was bound to assume all necessary
powers to suppress the revolt, headed by
an armed majority of Congress bent upon
subverting public order and the institu-
tons of the country. The license of the
Chilean press has been carried in our day

Ex-cITY TREASURER BARDsLEY.
The Court Raises His Bail Bond to
$4,000,

PHILADELPHIA, May %. Ex-City
Treasurer Bardsley is still too i'll this
morning to appear before the Magistrate
to answer the charge Of disappointing
city money. The hearing was continued
until Friday next, and bail was fixed at
SIS, 900. The Attorney General arrived
from Harrisburg this morning with a
warrant charging Bardsley with en-
bezzling S446,O of the States money,
and he probably will be arrested on that
charge to-day.
This afternoon the Attorney General
had an affidavit prepared and presented
to Magistrate Pole, charging Bardsley
with having collected S567, 1904 belonging
to the State of Pennsylvania and failing
to account for the same.
Magistrate Pole thereupon increased
Bardsley's bail from $4,000 to $4,000.
Two detectives have remained in a room
adjoining Bardsley's bedroom since Sat
urday night, when the first warrant was
served. In view of Bardsley's condition,
it is hardly likely that any effort will be
made to secure bail.
Up to late this afternoon Gideon W.
Marsh, the fugitive President of the Key
stone National Bank. had not been To-
Gated. The detective agency acting for
Marsh's bondsmen is working diligently,
and sparing no expense in its efforts to
apprehend the fugitive. a description of
the missing man has been sent to various
United States and foreign ports, and the
agency offers ZOO reward for Marsh's
arrest and detention.

MORMON CHURCH PROPERTY.
MATTER FOR THE ST.
PREME COURT TO DETERMINE.
The Property to Remain In the Hands
of the Receiver Until Other
wise Ordered.
Special to the REcoRD-UNroS.

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
WASHINGTON, May 25.-When the SUI
preme Court at the last term upheld the
constitutionality of the Edmunds law, by
which the property OF the late corpora
ton of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day Saints, otherwise known as
the Mormon Church, was escheated to
the United States, it found itself in
somewhat embarrassing position. The
doctrine of escheat was quite unknown
in this country, and no purpose con-
sidered laudable and proper of similar
nature to that for which the property
was formerly used was known for what
the property could be devoted.
The court, therefore, instead of send
ing the decree down, withheld it, strong
intimation being conveyed ofthe desire
of the court that Congress should, by
law, direct disposition to be made of
the property. Congress having failed to
adopt the suggestion, the court, through
Justice Bradley, to-day made a final
order in the case and modified in some
respects the decree it entered at the last
term.
The modification made recites that the
Mormon corporation having been dis
solved, there does not exist now any
trusts or purposes within the objects and
purposes for which personal property
was originally acquired, for which any
part of the personal property could be
used or dedicated that are not in whole or
part opposed to public policy and good
morals; and, furthermore, that there does
not exist any person or corporation
legally entitled to any of the personality
as successors of the late church.
The decree then says that the personal
property having reverted to the United
States, it should be devoted to such chari-
table uses, lawful in character, as may
most nearly correspond to its former
destiny, unless in the meantime Congress
shall otherwise direct, or the master shall
report some scheme which shall meet the
approval of the court for the disposition
of the property.
The decree finally directs that the prop
erty and all Accommodations remain in the
custody of the receiver until otherwise
ordered, and that out of it the costs of
suit and receivership be paid.
The Utah Supreme Court is directed to
take the necessary proceedings.

BEHRING SEA DISPUTE.
The President Thinks Salisbury is Act
ing Unfairly in the Matter.


CHICAGO, May pa Washington
special says: Lord Salisbury is waiting
to find out whether the closed season will
be agreeable TO the Canadian Govern
ment. AS between SO and 100 Canadian
poachers are af1oat in Alaskan waters,
the British Foreign Office has probably
learned by this time that the closed sea-
son won't be agreeable to the Dominion
Government, but the absence of official
communication is made an excuse for de-
lay in answering Secretary Blaine'S latest
note.
Three months ago Secretary Blaine
suggested a closed season for the re-
mainder Of the year, hoping that in the
interval some permanent arrangement
looking to the preservation Of the seal
would be reached. After an eXasperat-
ing delay the English Premier replied
agreeing to closed season, but stipulat-
ing that not single seal should be killed
even for food purposes.
Secretary Blaine, replying to this let
! ter April 18th last, suggested that the
company be permitted to kill 1000 seals,
! the proceeds of which would be sufficient
to remunerate them for expenses in
Cured by them this season. To this COM
munication Lord Salisbury made no an
swer. Meanwhile the Canadian poachers
are fitting out and preparing to enter
| Behring Sea in greater numbers than
ever. The President feels that Salisbury
| is acting unfairly with the Government
| in so long delaying his reply in view of
the near approach of the regular fishing

John Smith Fatally Wounded by Will
lam DeIIschaft.
VALLEJO. May 25.-Last night John
Smith, "A years old, a stevedore at South
Vallejo, was seriously, if not fatally, shot
by William Dellschaft at that place.
III feeling between the parties for the
past few months was the cause of the
shooting. 1t seems Smith was under the
influence of liquor and entered Charles
Olsen's saloon and sat down a few min
utes. Later Dellschaft came in and Smith
arose, and, going toward him, cursed
him roundly. Dellschaft, who is the
owner of barber shop and has resided at
South Vallejo for the past two years, fear
ing trouble, left the saloon for his shop,
followed by Smith, whom he warned
three times to keep away from him.
Smith paid no attention, but continued to
advance, and, when ten feet from him,
DellSchatt drew pistol from his pocket
and fired. The ball entered Smiths
body on the left side, little below the
heart. 1t was extracted by DIR. Vallejo,
but it is thought Smith is bleeding in
-ernally and may die.
Dellschaft surrendered himself and
claims the shooting was done in self
defense. Smith does not give a connected
story of the trouble and the saloon-k eeper
states that no words were passed or blows
struck while the parties were in the sa-
loon. But his statement is hardly prob
able. as there We're eye-witnesSes to the
commencement of the trouble. Smith
has been III trouble "a number Of times
and is considered a troublesome charac-
Ter. Dellschaft bears good reputation.
