AFTER sUNKEN TREASURE.
PblIadeIphia Man Secures Concession to
 Golden Gate Bullion.

Phlladelphia Man Secures OoncessA0n tO
 Golden Gate Bullion.
 Mexico City, Nov. 25.--A special to The Herald from Guadalajara says: B. F. Richardson. a capitalist of Philadelphia, and c. W. Johnston, Delaware man, have secured from the Mexican Government a concession for the recovery of the gold that still re- mains in the hull of the Golden Gate, " an American ship that was beached on the coast of Colima, a short distance from ManzanillO, in the winter of 1S61- s2.
 Mir. Richardson is now in this city. Mir. Johnston recently left San Fran cisco for the scene of the wreck ac- companied by divers and other assist ants, and when he arrives there he will notify the PhIladelphlan who will join him. A naptha launch and hydraulic pumps to be used fin the projected op- erations have been shipped from San Francisco.
 The Golden Gate was on the way from San Francisco to New York and car ried nearly S1.500,000 in gold coin des- tined for New York banks. While heading toward Manzanillo fire broke out aboard the vessel and in an att tempt to save the passengers the ship was run ashore. However. nearly 200 persons were either burned to death or drowned
 The entire cargo of money went down with the Golden Gate. Of the amount aboard the ship between ssOO,- 900 and S90O.0Q0 was recovered some time later. It Is believed that there still exists in the hulk of the vessel at least $500.00O in gold.
 c. W. Johnston has made two un- successful attempts to secure the re- mainder of the treasure. The last att tempt was made only a few years ago.
 According to the provisions of the concessions held by the two men. a certain per centage of any money found will go into the Federal treasury The remainder will belong absolutely to Messrs. Richardson and Johnston

.DR. CRAPSEY HAS RESIGNED End of the Famous
 Case. BOWS TO CHURCH,S WILL Refuses to Make Retraction of His
 Utteranees. Declares He wfn Carry Natter to aFres Intelligence and EnIishtened
 Consctsnes ef wornds- Appeals to Clergy.

Rochester, N. F., Nov. 25.--Bowing 70 the will of the church. but refneinM ''to make a cowardly retractfon" or sna heiIef which induced the church to tar minate his ministry, the Rev. Algernon s. Crapsey, rector of 5t. AnpFeW@ Church of Rochester, N. f., toaay te nounced his ministry in the ProteetAAt Episcopal Church in a letter to Blghop David william Walker of the wesSefn district of New York.
 In this letter Rev. Mir. Crapsey E@- affirmed his belief that the fiction og the origin of Jesus that son of man was born without q human father l4 without foundation in history. He also asserted that "When ! say of Jesus that He ascended into Heav- en, do not mean and cannot mean that with His physical body of flesh. blood ana bones, He noated into space and has for 1000 years been existing some where in the sky, in that very phys ical body of flesh. blood and bones. Such an existence would seem to ra@ not glorious. but horrtble.~
 Declaring that he Is about to earTy the case to the free intelligence and enlightened conscience of the world, lie counsels the hundreds of cIergymen and thousands of laymen in the Prot estant Episcopal Church. who have reached the same conclusion as he haas not to be dismayed. and to stay where they are.
 T appeal" he says. from those in places of authority in the church itself to the great body Of the people,"
 He said he does not blame the 5udgea. although he bows to their will. an6 feels that is is final for him. he saya= 1T am equally certain that it is fsnaa for the church when the great tFibunal of free thought has decided this con- tention, the men who administer &ta church on earth will conform to this decision"
 Having let so Of the temporarily and unstable interpretation" be de- clares that The holds more firmly se the Gospel"

AFFECT MAGAZINES
POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH
 CANADA MAY CHANGE.
Present Legislation Expires in May and Periodicals of America May Suffer as Conseauenee of
 am Increase.

Washington, Nov. 25.--The Postofice Department was guided by Congress sionaI legislation in dealing with the issue raised by the Canadian Govern ment in abrogating the provisions of the postal convention between the two countries relating to second-class mat ter. which legislation, according to Canada's notice. will expire May f' 1907.
 This provision permits the transmits sion through the mails of periodical publications which include newspapers at the rate of cent per pound. A Joint commission of the Senate. of which Senator Penrose is chairman, has been engaged, since October 1, in talk ing testimony covering the whole sub jeot of second-elass mail matter, and as an outcome of the inquiry the gen- erai expectation Is that some iegislaS ton will be enacted.
 If no iegislaticn be enacted, the two Governments will fall back on the fn- ternational union postal rates when the provision in the existing treaty expires ufiiese. In the meantime. Canada comes forward with a new proposition for the consideration of this Government.
 The international postal union rates on secondzclass matter is one cent for two ounces. which for some time past the Canadian Government has found fault with the construction placed on some classes of second-class mail mat ter by this Government when it came to the matter of it's application for transmission through Canadian terri tory.
 Probably one hundred definite peri odicals which are transmitted through the United States malls at second class rates, have been denied similar privi- leges In the Canadian mall service, al- though some of them were subsequent ly restored to the privilege.
 American periodicals have enjoyed a large circulation through Canada which with their attractive advertisements. 1t is suggested at the Postofffce Depart ment, have worked prejudiclaIly to the trade interests of the Canadians and to the periodicals published there.
