UNCLE SAINTS MORMON CHURCH.
The Supreme Court Trying to Find Way to
Get Rid of the Property.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-When the Supreme
Court at its last term upheld the constitu
tionality of the Edmunds law, by which the
property of the late corporation of the
Mormon Church was escheated to the United
States, it found itself in a somewhat en-
barrassing position. The doctrine of escheat
was quite unknown in this country. The
Court, therefore, instead of sending its
decree down, withheldit, a strong intimation
being conveyed of the desire of the Court
that Congress should by law direct the dispo-
sition to be made of the property. Congress
having failed to adopt the suggestion made,
the Court, through Justice Bradley, to-day
made its final order in the case and modified
in some respects the decree 1t entered at the
last term.
The modification made recites that the
Mormon corporation having been dissolved,
there doesn't now exist any trusts or pur-
poses for which any part of the personal
property could be used or dedicated that are
not in whole or in part opposed to public
policy and good morals, and that further
more 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 prop
erty having devolved to the United States 1t
should be devoted to such charitable uses,
lawful in character, as may most nearly cor
respond to its former destiny, unless in the
or a 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 property and all ac-
cumulations remain in the custody Of the re-
ceiver until otherwise ordered.

SPRINGER Is TOO FLIGHTY.
One Democrat Who Thinks He Would
Never Do for the Speakers Chair.


WASHINGTON, May 25.-"I do not think the
Endorsement of William NJ. Springer for the
Speakership of the House by the Legislature
of Illinois will add much to that statesnran's
strength" said a Democratic member of the
next House to THE DISPATCH correspondent
to-day. springer is an excellent man per-
sonally," he continued, 'but of all the promi-
nent candidates. unless it be Mcmillan, he
would be the least able to control the mob
called the House. Springer is hesitating in
is almost wanting in that indefinite thing
called magnetism. When he is most in
earnest the House laughs at him; and when
he is excited i'll earnest they fairly
roar. No man is more sincere
than he and yet his arguments and
opinions fall on Indifferent ears. McMil-
Ian is in q very similar predicament. The
fact is both Mcmillan and Springer haye
talked themselves to death in the House.
The very sound of their voices makes the
members tired. With all his bad temper and
ungovernable passion Mills would be more
acceptable than either Springer or McMil-
Ian.
81 don't know how much the candidates
can accomplish by hard work and personal
appeals, but do know that to two-thirds of
the Democrats at this time Judge Crisp,
of Georgia, or Farmer Hatch, of Missouri,
would be most acceptable. The latter
has probably sat in the chair more than any,
other man who has never been Speaker. AS
q parliamentarian, if not as q lawyer, Farmer
Hatch is much the superior of Judge Crisp"

INSURGENTS HAVE NO STANDING,
Therefore No Negotiations Are Possible
With Them About the Itata.

Therefore No Negotiations Are Possible
With Them About the Itata.
WASHINGTON, May 25.-The fact that no
word was received at the Navy Department
to-day from the Charleston is taken as an in
dication that she has gone on down the Pc
ruvian coast toward Callao. Respecting the
reiterated statements coming from Paris to
the effect that the insurgents have arranged
to surrender the Itata to the United States
naval authorities when she reaches Chile,
the officials of the Navy Department stood
mute. 1t may be stated. however, that there
have been no negotiations between this Gov
ernment and the Chilean insurgents upon
the subject. Inasmuch as the insurgents
have not been recognized by the Govern
ment of the United States as belligerents,
they have absolutely no status that would
admit of negotiations with them by the
United States Government.
Still it is plainly evident that some kind of
an understanding has been, or is expected
to be reached, which will result in the easy
transfer of the Itata to either Admiral Nc
Cam or admiral Brown, should she reach
Chile. This of course would not take the
shape of formal agreement, but the inti-
nation may already have been conveyed to
our naval officers at Iquique by the insur-
gents that such u course will be pursued,
and doubtless this has formed the basis of
many of the cablegrams that have passed
between Washington and 1quique during
the last two weeks.

The Florida Democratic Caucus Liable to

TALLAHASSEE May ~25.-The joint caucus
took two ballots tonight, both with the
same result-Call, 52 Mays, ~; Bloxham, Q.
Then bombshell burst in the caucus. Sem
ator Yancey, of Lake county, leader of
Calls forces, moved that the caucus adjourn
sine die. This is step long con-
templated by Calls followers in order
to throw the election of q Senator directly
into the body of the Legislature in joint ses-
sion of both Houses, where majority elects.
The anti-Call men began to debate the mo-
ton, but Chairman Gaskins decided that q
motion to adjourn sine die was like any
other motion to adj ourn-not debateable.
Mr.. Dougherty moved to amend by making
a simple motion to adjourn, and Mr.. Shine,
of Orange county, offered motion to amend
still further by making the adjournment to
$3.50 p M. Tuesday, A big discussion has
been precipitated on the point of prece-
dence between these two amendments, and
at 10:45 o'clock the caucus is engaged in hot
wrangle over it.

BARKER IS INNOCENT,
GENERAL BUSsEY SAYS, OF THE
CHARGES MADE AGAINST HIM.

A Pension ONCE Sensation That Didn't Pan
Quilt Went to Pieces Under an Investi.
gation-A Money-Lenders Agent Causes
the Trouble.
WASHINGTON, May 25.-For some days past
rumor has been current here to the effect
that certain employees in the Pension ONCE
occupying responsible positions had been
in the habit of borrowing money from their
fellow clerks, and, upon payment being de-
manded, they not only declined to return
the money, but threatened the importunate
creditors with dismissal or q reduction in
salary 1t was known that q man named
Donohue had procured o warrant for the ar
rest of Mr.. william H. Barker, Chief of the
Record Division, upon charge growing
out of O money transaction. The warrant,
however, was never served. 1t was also
stated that money which had been collected
in the division in aid of a widow of a clerk
named Moore, who recently died, leaving
his family in q destitute condition, had not
been paid to the widow.
These and several other damaging stories
have been af1oat through the Interior Do
partment until this morning, when General
Bussey, at the request of First Assistant
Secretary Chandler, undertook an investi-
CATION of the whole matter. This investiga-
tion was concluded at noon. Shortly after
ward General Bussey was asked for state
ment as to what his investigation had devel-
oped. He said: 81 went to the Pension
Office this morning, and, with Commissioner
Raum, sent for every man in the bureau who
was said to have information on the subject.
Twenty or more witnesses were examined
without finding particle of evidence to
sustain any of the charges. 1t was conclu-
sively shown that Major Barker had pro-
vided for his obligations; that he had never
handled a dollar of the money ($1sO) col
lected for Mrs. Moore, but that the money
had been in the hands of Major Ripley and
Mr.. Landon, Assistant Chief Of the Division,
and had all been paid to Mrs. Moore, whose
receipt was produced.
"The charge that Barker had visited gam
bling houses with Green B. Raum, Jr.,
utterly failed. Not one witness ever saw
either of the men in such place. The evil
dence was conclusive that Major Barker's
division, one of the most important in the
bureau, which was greatly behind in its work
when he took charge of 1t, had been man
aged to the entire satisfaction of the Com
missioner. 1t developed that certain
party, not in the Governments service, was
In the habit of loaning money.to clerks in
the bureau, charging 10 per cent per month,
and that Donohue, the clerk who originated
the charges against Major Barker, was in
the habit of indorsing the notes and then
using the office to compel payment-in two
stances swearing out warrants for criminal
proceedings on short notice. Donohue will
be dismissed"
