RETURN OF GIBBONS
THE CARDINAL BACK FROM HIS VS.
1T TO THE HOLY FATHER.
He Says the Pope II In Good Health,
and that He Sent No Special Mes
sage to Americans.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2s.-After an absence
of fifteen weeks. Cardinal Gibbons re-
turned from Europe to-day on the Cam
pania- When the boarding officers reached
the Campania, Cardinal Gibbons was seen
on the upepr deck talking to Bishop Foley,
OF Detroit; Archbishop Riordan, of San
Francisco. and several other clerical men
who were in the party. When seen by
reporter, Cardinal Gibbons said:
my visit to Rome had no special signif-
icance. as ii is customary for US to visit
the Holy Father every eight or ten years,
or perhaps oftener. 1 had several aud
fences with Pope Leo, the last one being on
June %. The Holy Father. although a little
more stopped, looked much better and
stronger than when I saw him last. eight
years ago. He is most remarkable man
for his age, which is eighty-six years. His
faculties are unimpaired and he is Won
derfully bright. He. generally converses in
Latin, French or Italian, but he speaks
very little English.
HE takes a deep interest in America and
Americans, and frequently expressed his
admiration for our political institutions
He sent no special message to America
through me. nor is there any reason for
so doing at the present time. He wrote me
a beautiful letter, recommending summer
schools and commencing the Catholic uni
versties of America, and referred to the
opening OF several chairs i'm the university
next October. In this letter he spoke very
hopefully of the future of the university,
and mentioned the coming Catholic con-
gress TO open next October in Washington"
The Cardinal said that he had enjoyed his
trip and he had felt his health greatly bene-
fitted by It. He left Rome, July /. and trav-
eled by slow stages through the Tyrol, Ba-
varia, Wurtumburg, Baden, Holland, Belgl-
UNI, France. England and Ireland.
When asked as TO the standing OF the
! said: while l was there. there was some
friction between the Catholics and clergy,
and the civil officials, owing to the levying
of an extra tax on ecclesiastical lnStitu-
tions / do not know whether the matter
has been settled or not, but ii will not be
necessary for the Vatican to interfere"
The reporter then asked the Cardinal II
he had heard of the Sunday-closing cru
sade in New York. IL have heard about it,
he replied. but have not paid great deal
of attention to ii. / have the pleasure of
knowing Mr.. Roosevelt and think a great

THE MORA CLAIM.
Final Disposition of the s1,5OO,O0t
Likely to Cause Trouble.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-An affidavit of
Jose Ignaco Rodriguez was filed to-day in
the Surrogates office in connection with
the proceedings recently taken for the
granting of letters of administration upon
the estate of Jose Maria Mora, who died
in Rio Janeiro in November. 1892. 1t now
seems probable thatsthe proceedings will
have to be discontinued and a different
method pursued in the prosecution of the
claim for portion of the recent award of
Sl,500,O00 by the Spanish government for
Mora family during the rebellion of 1865
The heirs Of Jose Maria Mora claim half
of the award, on the grounds that the de-
ceased was a partner with Antonio Mixima
Mora, TO whom the award is made. in the
property seized by the Spanish officials
Under the application for the issuance of
letters Of administration, under which cita-
tions have been issued the petition Jose
Manuel Mora, son of the deceased, stated
that his father had left no will. Ii now
appears from the affidavit filed to-day that
he executed a will on July 10, 1865. This affi-
davit OF Rodriguez, who lives in Washing
ton, Is based upon letter which he re-

FIGHT WITH BANDITS
DEPUTY FEDERAL MARsHALS At
TEMPT TO CAPTURE A BAD GANG.
Bob Christian and One of the Omcers

rested-Hounds on the Trail.

ARDMORE, 1. T., Aug 23.-An en-
counter between the noted Christian gang,
which broke Jail at Oklahoma City several
months ago, and has since added to it's
numbers, and a posse of United States
marshals in charge of Ben Goode. took
place shortly after daylight this morning,
six miles west of Purcell in which Deputy
United States Marshal Hooker was shot
and mortally wounded and Bob Christian
shot, but how serious his injuries are can
not be determined. When his horse was
cut down under him and he was shot by
Deputy Hooker, his brother. Bill Christian.
rode out Of a thicket and placing his
wounded brother on his horse ahead of
him. the two made good time and escaped.
Hooker was shot by Bill Christian. After
Hooker received his wounds, the other
deputies turned their attention to the
wounded officer. The outlaws a
chance to escape and they at once broke
cover and fed. At 10 o'clock United States
Marshal Stowe received the following tele-
gram from the United States commissioner
at Purcell: A
''Send all deputies possible on the first
train. Have the Christian gang surrounded
six miles west Of here. Fight this morn
ing: Deputy Hooker and Bob Christian
both shot. Quick work necessary"
This information created great excite
ment. Two strong posses Of marshals, one
in charge of Commissioner Gibbons. of the
Paris Court, were organized and left at
10 o'clock to join in the chase. The latest
advices from the scene is to the effect that
the marshals are in close pursuit and the
bandits capture is surely expected.
Later-Before the reinforcements arrived
Bob Christian was put on a horse behind
his brother Bill, and both escaped. followed
closely by the remainder Of the gang. The
last heard from the scene was that the out
laws were being pressed hard by the
deputies and fight seemed imminent.

WILL STOP THE FIGHT
SHERIFF. OF DALLAS COUNTY SAYS
HE WILL ENFORCE THE LAW.
His Reply to an Inquiry from the Gov
joinder-One Question Referred.

AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. Ex-Governor Culber-
son to-day made public the correspondence
between himself and Sheriff Cabell. of Dali
las county, anent the Corbett-Fitzsimmon
fight. The correspondence was opened by
Governor Culberson, interrogating the
sheriff as to whether he intended to abide
holding the prize-fighting law valid, and as
to whether 1t was his intention to exercise
all the powers vested in him to prevent the
fight. Sheriff Cabell's reply is that, while
he did not ask for the opinion. that he is
willing and will abide by it; that should a
writ be placed in his hands by the county
attorney he will certainly serve it, or. in
case no writ is issued and he is left to face
the matter alone. he will unhesitatinsly dis
charge his duties. He cites, however, that
the criminal statute defining prize-fghting
makes it misdemeanor, and not a felony,
and asks the Governor. under such circum-
stances. If he would be justified in using
such force as may be necessary even If it
required the shooting down OF citizens and
would the Governor advise such proceed
ings.
says: while IL is true that the prize
fight at Dallas is not advertised to take
place until October the propriety of the
public officers of the State taking action is
obvious 1t is proper that they should give
notice at once of the firm purpose to enforce
the law. that none may be deceived. The
Constitution, which is the supreme law of
the State. makes it the duty of the Cover
nor to cause the laws to be faithfully exc
cuted. At the proper time what force may
be necessary and deemed expedient TO guard
against failure will be used to prevent this
proposed infraction of the laws of the
State"
Cabell's interrogatory as to whether the
Governor would sanction the shooting down
OF citizens was rather a hard shot for the
he would not attempt TO answer that ques-
tion. but would refer IL to the Attorney
general for his legal opinion, which will be
