iLOKDOX, May 29. The Rt Hon. Richard
Somerset Le-Pocr-Trench, fourth Earl of
Clancarty and Marquis of Heysden, whose
title, although an Irish one', gives him a
place among the peers of the United King
dom, died to-day at the age of 67. By this
event his only son, previously known as
X.ord Dunlo, and famous as the husband of
Belle Bilton, became Earl of Clancarty, a
peer of the realm and into the possession of
an estate worth fully a million.
The divorce proceedings against the
wife of the young nobleman having
failed, and a 'reconciliation between
ihe pair having been effected,
BiHe BCUon, 2Tau Countess Cltavearty.
Belle Bilton is to-night Countess of Clan
carty and the rightful mistress of one of the
proudest houses in Queen "Victoria's domain.
To Ray that the Queen will be displeased at
this state of afiairs is speaking very mildlyr
indeed.
Extent of the Clancarty Estate.
The father of the new Earl of Clancarty
"iras possessed of property valued at about
51,00,000, and his widow'is the daughter of
one of the wealthiest of English marquises
the Marquis of Bristol who does not
possess a very large family. The principal
Clancarty estate, which gives an income
of 560,000 a year, is at Garbally, County
Gulway, Ireland, and consists of some 24,000
acres of land. There is another and smaller
estate at Itoscommon, which is worth about
610,000 a year, in addition to various other
odds and ends scattered over the TJnited
Kingdom.
The new Countess of Clancarty, however,
will probably have to content herself with
hslping to dispose of the entailed inherit
ance, as it is hardly likely that she will
c er secure any of her mother-in-law's estate
if that lady can prevent it During the
divorce suit last July the actress once said:
"As a matter ot fact, it is Lady Clancarty
who had the most to do with bringing the
suit You see, she knows that her husband
cannot live much longer at the rate he is
now going, and, of course, at his death I
would become Countess Clancarty, while
phe would be on the shelf as the Dowager
Countess. 6he is a tolerably young woman
yet, and that is why she is trying to dispos
sess me of the title."
now tho aiarriajjo Occurred.
Belfc Bilton is one of two sisters, daugh
ters of a highly respectable sergeant of ar
tillery, formerly stationed at 'Woolwich.
The sisters inherited tainted blood from
their mother, and while still in their early
teens caused a scandal in the garrison. They
graduated to the London music halls, where
they soon became great favorites with the
aristocratic ycuth of Great Britain, at sup
per parties and the gayeties of midnight as
well as behind the footlights.
Belle met young Dunlo at the Corinthian
Club. At that time, just about two years
ago, the individual who to-day became
Earl -of Clancarty was a beardless boy of 20,
just out of college, and possessed of even
less than the average of brains allotted to
the present generation of England's nobil
ity. Some time previous to her acquaint
ance with Dunlo, the actress became a
mother, which fact has neer been con
cealed. It has been her boast, however,
that her life has been all that could be de
sired. Indeed, the most strenuous efforts of
the Clancarty family could not prove the
contrary to the satisfaction of tho jury ia
the recent divorce trial.
Flaying In the Hole of Venus.
The new Countess has been playing in a
burlesque company at Manchester, assum
ing the role of Vauts in a costume which ex
hibited her charms to the best advantage.
She has not appeared for a week or more,
however, and it is understood that there is
every prospect of another heir to the Clan
carty estate being announced in the near
future. The intentions of'the young couple
cannot be learned to-night, but there is no
doubt that Belle Bilton will insist upon
her rights to the fullest extent, and her hus
band will hardly have the courage to oppose
her, as hs still seems madly infatuated.
The new Counters is a beauty in the
strongest sense of the word. .Nor is there

Her. clear complexion has no need of paint,

least she will be quite an addition to the
British nobility.
The End Was Unexpected.
An Associated Press cablegram says:
The Earl of Clancarty died, leaving the
feud with Viscount Dunlo only partially
healed. He had been confined all winter in
his house, without seeing his son. A week
ago he had a bad seizure of gout and par
alysis, but he rallied and seemed to be re
covering, when he was again attached.
Death finally was so unexpected that it
came before Viscount Dunlo could reach
his father's bedside. Viscount Dunlo was
in Plymouth at the time.
The Countess of Clancarty, .her daughter
Catharine and the Dowager Countess were
present when the Earl died. His critical
condition had been known since Sunday,
though it appears not to have been known
by Viscount Dunlo. The attitude of the.
family toward the actress continues hos
tile. Viscount Dunlo says that the late
Earl desired to be buried in England and
that he will not be buried in the family
vault at Garbally, Ballinislo (Ireland), un
less the will gives special instructions to
that effect The retirement of Xady Dunlo
from the stage is a matter of course.
AN AMERICAN HEIRESS
TOR ONE OF THE BEST TTTXES AND

"The Billed Slarltal Itelationi of a Tentonlo
Baron Who Emigrated to This Country
The Family Very Willing to Recognize
the Girt.
Beblet, May 29. Miss Ida Green, of
San Francisco, is a claimant to the title and
estates of Baroness Von Barnekow. Mr.
Edwards, the TJnited States Consul General,
and a number of &tryers who are inter
ested in the case bcliSvc her claim is legal,
and that the girl's membership of one of the
proudest families of Germany is estab
lished. Tears ago, Baron Kj" ell Von Barnekow,
an officer of the German army, after a career
of dissipation, fled to America, where, after
numerous vicissitudes, he became a hotel
runner in San Francisco,traveling under the
alias of "Fred Green." "While in this ca
pacity, he became acquainted with a girl
named Galligan. The pair lived together,
thouehnotleeallvmarried.but after the birth
of a daughter theBaron consented to marriage,
and at the same time, under the laws of
California, made his daughter, though born
out of wedlock, his legal issue. The Baron
coon returned to his dissipated way, ne
glected his family and finally deserted them.
Marital Belations a little Mixed.
After waiting a number of years the wife
applied for a divorce, which was granted in
1888. In the meantime Baron Von Barne
kow had returned to Germany and had
married again without undergoing the for
mality of a divorce. He died in 1887, a
year before his California wife got her di
vorce. His seoond marriage -was naturally
illegal.
Mrs. Green obtained a divorce, never
knowing that her quondam husband was
dead, and later on married a sailor named
Robinson. Her daughter, Ida Green, lived
vlth her mother and stepfather in a poor
quarter of San Francisco. After Baron von
Bamekow's death, his sister, Countess von
Moltke. wife of a maior in the army, a near
relative of the late Field Marshal, having-
8n-mKiiariz ne irntnsptrcneaior tne
missing heiress.
There were some large estates, heavily
encumbered, however, and with rare nobil
ity of feeling the Countess tried to do jus
tice to her brother's widow and child. She
applied to Consul General Edwards, who
wrote to Chief of Police Crowley, ti San
Francisco.
Proofs of Her Identity.
Chief Crowley found Ida and reported
accordingly, and the necessary affidavits
proving the marriage and the identity of
Ataron von uarneKow. Atwasiounaiaawas
his legitimate child, and other documents
were sent to Berlin. Consul GeneralEdwards
admitted the story as substantially cor
rect and placed the matter in the hands of
one of the most eminent lawyers of Berlin.
The one important question involved is,
should the German or the Californian law
regarding the legitimacy of the child pre
vail. The father died in Germany and it will
take trouble to make Ida the. legitimate
child and legal heir. That this will be ac
complsshed, however, there js little doubt
Consul Edwards is entitled to high praise
for the active and disinterested part he has
taken in espousing the interests of a friend
less American girl, who, if she succeeds,
will have to thank him in the first instance.
The Von Moltke family are also entitled to
recognition for the honorable part they have
taken throughout the whole affair.
THE PARISIAN LRISH FUND.
Parnell Will Find It Difficult to Capture It-
If McCarthy Dies.
DUBLrsr, May 29. The Mdkmal Frets to
day says: "Owing to the boast of Mr. Par
nell that in the event of the death of Mr.
McCarthy (whom he declares to be dying)
he, Mr. Parnell, will have complete control
of the Paris fund to divide among his fol
lowers, the McCarthyites have taken the
best French legal advice on the subject, and
find that unless the consent of the late
Joseph Biggar's son is obtained, Mr. Par
nell can only control a third portion of the
fund, after a long litigation which the Mc
Carthyites will take into every court in
France."
The League Treasurer, Dr. Joseph E.
Kenny, M. P., endeavored to gain Mr. Big-
gar's son's consent, but was repulsed. The
ite Joseph G. Biggsr, it will be remem
bered, was one of the trustees of the Paris
fund. Mr. McCarthy, the National Tress
also says, is only suffering from a slight at

BT DUNLAP'S CABLI COXTAXT.
Xojtdon, May 29. Thar feature of to
day's stock market in London was heavy
selling of Louisville and Nashville by the
representatives of some of the leading
houses here, and the sales were accom
panied by rumors that the next dividend
would be paid partly or entirely in scrip.
Another meeting was called to-day at the
Bank of England of the managers of the
large joint stock banks, to consider the
situation. No details have as yet been
ajjreed upon, but it is understood that fur
ther action has been agreed upon in order
to improve upon the value of money and

Immediately after the meeting it was re
ported that the Bank of England had bor
rowed a larsre amount of Government securi
ties, and discounts rose from 3j per cent,
at which they were quoted in the morning,
to nearly 4 per cent this afternoon. A very
uneasy feeling prevails, and it is feared that
the bank's officers may know of some other
unfavorable feature besides the threatened
exDorts of cold to Russia. Lord Boths-

fortnight, returned to London to-day.
EXCESSIVE CORN DUTIES
Causing So Much Distress in Germany That
They Will Be Bednced.
CUT DICTLAP'S CABLX COMPAXT.
Berlin, May 29. It is now decided that
the Reichstag will reassemble in a very
short time for an extraordinary session.
The purpose of this is to reconsider the corn
duties. Great distress exists in North Ger
many, owing to the excessive duty on corn,
which has forced the price of bread to such
a high, standard as to put it quite out of the
reach' of the bulk of the population. In,
some'of the poor .fishing villages of Prussia
the inhabitants offer a large sackful of fish
for a single small loaf of bread.
The free trade party in the Reichstag has
been fighting for the abolition of the corn
duty ever since the resignation of Prince
Bismarck, and the movement is likely to
receive fresh impetus now that the Govern
ment has abandoned its former policy of
rigid protection, by concluding a commer
cial treatv with Austria. In face of the
widespread distress, the Government will
probably agree to a reduction of tho duty to
15 marks per ton. The South Gemans,
however, who Jive on rich lands, are vio
lently opposed to any reduction at all.
AN ACT OF REPRISAL,
That -Is What the French Seizure of St
George's Bay Amounts To.
BT EUJTULP'S CABLX COMPACT. 1
Paris, May 29. Replying to the criti--cisms
of certain English newspapers with
regard to the act of the commander of the
French naval forces in seizing St George's
Bay, Newfoundland, and forbidding the res
idents to sell bait to American fishermen, as
being contrary to the treaty of 1818, the
Sude says:
Although fuller details aro needed to give
a complete understanding of the affairs, ws
believe that the French commander acted in
strict accordance with French rights. It
was too absurd to enact a law forbidding
English fishermen at Fortune Bay to sell
bait to French fishermen. Wo have replied
by closing the French shoro to American
flshermtn. This is nothing more than tak-
J-lc? reprisal. f

Philadelphia, May 29. City Treas
urer John Bardsley, who has almost unin
terruptedly for the las20 years controlled
the finances of Philadelphia, and President
Francis "W. Kennedy, of the Spring Garden
National Bank, are in jail, and it is very
unlikely that either of them will be a free
man again for many years to come. The
City Treasurer had a hearing before Magis
trate Pole at the Central Station at noon on
three charges embezzlement of 530,000 of
the city's funds, misappropriating State
funds and perjury.
The first two cases were disposed of, and
on those charges John Bardsley was held
for the next term of Criminal Court in
$50,000 bail. District Attorney Graham
was not ready to go on with the perjury
case, -and the hearing was adjourned until
June 12 next No effort at securing bail
was made by the defense, and a half hour
after the conclusion of the hearing City
Treasurer John Bardsley was hurried into a
closed carriage and, in oompany with De
tectives Hamm and Eckstein, and accom
panied by his brother-in-law, Clarence
Pierce, he was driven rapidly to Moya
mensing prison.
Intense Interest in (he Case.
Never in the criminal history of Phila
delphia has there been such interest dis
played in any hearing as was at that of to-day.
Long before 12 o'clock, the hour set for the
hearing, the space reserved in the magis
trate's court for spectators was crowded al
most to suffocation. Outside a crowd of
several hundred people "filled the corridor
and within the enclosure the entire space
was taken up by newspapermen, lawyers,
witnesses and police officers.
Shortly beiore the noon hour tne city ana
State officials began to pour in. Among
these were Mayor Stuart, City Solicitor
Warwick, Citv Controller Thompson, Secre
tary Lewis Beitler, Magistrate- Clements
and District Attorney Graham, all of whom
occupied places on the platform behind
Magistrate Pole. On the-. floor were
Auditor General McCamant, Attorney
General Hensel, State Treasurer
Boyer, Assistant "District Attorney
Kinsey, Prothonotary "William B. Mann,
National Bank Examiner "William B. Drew,
Recorder of Deeds Thomas Green, Chief
Clerk David C King, of the City Treasur

John Gallagher, of the City Treasurers of
fice; General Latta, James F. Elliott and
Messrs. Alva Beitler, Thomas Barlow,
Councilmen Horr, Kincaid, Bullock,
Dugan, Culbert, Hunter, Norris and others.
Lieutenant Ed Malincalled for order, and
the magistrate in sharp, clear tones called:
"John Bardsley." In a moment all eyes
were turned toward Magistrate Pole's
Srivate office, and a second later Chief of
letectives "Wood appeared, closely followed
by City Treasurer John Bardsley. At the
moment the accused official entered the
court the silence was almost oppressive.
Dreaded the JubliftGazOj, .,,
All eves were turned uboh Mr. Bardslev.'
He walked slowly and with faltering steps;
his head was bowed low, ad thoughhe
dreaded to meet the gaze of the crowd. He
held his hands before him audit was plain
to be seen that it was an effort for him to
keep his composure. He walked directly to
the witness stand and placing a hand on
either post, his eyes resting on the floor, he
awaited Magistrate Pole's question. The
usual formula as to age, residence, occupa
tion of the prisoner were gone through, and
then District Attorney Graham called the
experts who had examined the City Treas
urer's books, and a number of treasury
clerks were examined to show that Bardsley
unlawfully drew $30X00 of city money from
the Third National Bank and had failed to
account for $367,000 belonging to the State.
The evidence was clear in these points
and Bardsley admitted that he could not ac
count for the State money, but claimed
that he had deposited it in the Keystone
Bank. He, in fact, does hold Clearing
House due bills issued by the Keystone
Bank for this and about $600,000 more of
State money, but the due bills are worthless
and undoubtedly fraudulent, for he is not
credited on the books of the broken bank
with a dollar of State funds. Tho most in
teresting part of the hearing was Bardsley's
own testimony, during which he frequently
broke down and sobbed aloud. Under the
questions of the District Attorney Mr.
Bardsley admitted that he had received
interest on the deposits of State
funds from Drexel & Co., the Keystone,
Spring Garden, Seventh, Manufacturers' and
Chestnut Street National Banks.
Interest Front Pattison's Bank.
. The admission that he had received in
terest from the Chestnut Street National,
of which Robert E. Pattison was President
up to about the time he became Governor,
created a decided sensation and tickled the
Republicans, who said that it would neutral
ize any political capital the Democrats
could make out of the present exposure.
At the finish of Mr. Bardsley's testi
mony, Taylor Faunce, one of the three ex
erts, was recalled and was asked by the
istrict Attorney how the accounts were
kept in the different banks, as follows: "In
the Spring Garden as John Bardsley, in
the Chestnut Street National Bank as John
Bardsley, in the Seventh National Bank in
one book as John Bardsley, special account,
and in another book as John Bardsley; in
the Manufacturers as John Bardsley.
"When this witness was excused Mr. Gra
ham said he would rest on behalf of the
Commonwealth. He asked that the defend
ant be held under the acts of 1885 and.1860
for failing to account, and also for appropri
ating to ma own use money belonging to the
city. He was not prepared to-day to prove
the third charge of perjury, and on that
asked a continuance, but in view of Mr.
Bardsley's condition thought it should be
for two weeks. The Magistrate set Friday,
the 12th of June, for a further hearing on
the charge of perjury. He said he would
hold the defendant for court on the first
charge in the sum of $10,000, on the second
in $35,000, and on the third, for a further
hearing, in $5,000, making $50,000 alto-
ether. At 4 o'clock Bardsley was driven
I oyamensing prison. Owing to his broken
condition he was placed in the hospital
ward of the prison.

$20,000 bail demanded by United States
Commissioner Bell, he was not taken to jail
last night, but remained in the custodv of

A telegram from Philadelphia says that
it is rumored there that Ephriam Young, a
marble dealer and director in the DroKen
Spring Garden Bank, was back of his
brother, Rev. Samuel Young, of Pittsburg,
in his contract for marble work in the new
Government' building. It further said
that the necessary funds to secure and
fulfill the contract were borrowed from the
bank on worthless security. SamueLYoune
is a marble contractor at Irwin avenue.and
Jackson street, Allegneny, and has the con
tract with the Government for interior
mantel work, wainscotting, tiling fireplace
in the new Federal building, his bid having
been $65,000. The work has little more than
been commenced. Mr. Young has received
one voucher on account for $2,000 or $3,000.
A reporter visited Mr. Young at his home
in Allegheny and inquired as to the truth
fulness of the insinuations in the Philadel
phia telegram, to which He replied :
"It is all wrong. Neither my brother nor
anyone else outside of Allegneny county
assisted me in getting that contract nor has
he given me a cent to carry on the work.
My bondsmen all live in this county, and
my brother had nothing to do with that He
never loaned me a cent, and the only assist
ance I ever had from him was six years ego
when I started in business. Then I had the
use of his name on some paper, but that has
all been cleared up. I did not even know
my brother was so badly injured in the fail
ure until ten days after I saw the first news
in the paper. I knew he was a director in
the bank, but did not think of everything
having been swept from him until I re
ceived a letter saying he hadn't a dollar in
the world. I don't see how my name got
mixed up in that affair, as there is no reason
for it whatever, and I hope you will deny it
for me in the strongest respectable lan
guage." PATTISON PAID NO INTEEEST

statement of ex-City Treasurer Bardsley
that the Chestnut Street Bank, of which the
Governor was President, had paid 3 per cent
interest for the Statemoneya deposited with
it The Governor promptly stated that no
interest on State money was paid while he
was President Bardsley had an individual
account with the bank,butit was withdrawn
in the latter part of 1890.
"The paper of the Bradford mills," said
the Governor, "had been discounted to the
extent of $5,000. This business, I think,
however, had been stopped for some time.
The bank was a city depository, and, as
such, received-city moneys with other de
positories. No interest was paid to Mr.
Bardsley on this deposit No interest was
ever paid on the deposit of the State Treas
urer while I was President The deposit of
the State Treasury, when first offered to the
Chestnut StreetNationalBank, was declined,
because they desired a bond of the bank.
This was refused, as the bank was not in the
habit of giving bonds for security for depos-
kitsVl - aeveTliad, as,officaIf the bank, or
inc&entally, anV"trarfsaettoh. of ankindTbodyT --
whatever with Tir. Bardsley. I neverasked
or solicited a deposit I do not think I
have seen him three times ia three years."

CHINAMEN COME TO GRIEF.
A. Clerer System of Fraud Against the Anti
Chinese law Unearthed.
CSPICIAL TELEGBAK TO THE TOSPATCH.1
. New Orleans, May 29. A system of
fraud, by which the law against the immi
gration of Chinamen has been evaded here
for some time, has been discovered by a
special United States Inspector. Many
Chinamen passed through this city each
year in transit from China to Cuba. They
are practically in bond. They are kept on the
cars of the Southern Pacific Railroad while
here to prevent them from running away. The
Treasury Department suspected that some
of them did not go clear to Cuba. The In
spector arrived several daysago, and became
acquainted with all the Chinamen in town.
Meanwhile a consignment of laborers for Cuba
reached here from China, via San Francisco.
"When the newly arrived Chinamen boarded
the steamer bound for Havana, the United
States Inspector examined them, and found
that several of the men were New Orleans
Celestials.
Several Chinamen in bondhad determined
to stop over here and settle in this country,
and changed places with the domesticated
Mongolians, the latter receiving from $150
to $200 to act as their substitutes. The in
vestigation further proved that this prac
tice had been going on for years. A regu
lar brokerage business in substitutes had
been going on here. These substitutes were
compelled to surrender the money paid
them and were arrested for violating the
laws, as was also Joseph TJamb, the Chinese
agent of the Southern, Pacific Railroad;

HE SPOILED THE INQUEST.
A Man on Whose Supposed Dead Body the
Coroner Was Sitting Appears Alive.
(SPECIAL TXLSGBAH TO THE DISPATCH. J
New York, May 29. It is not often that
a man disappoints both Coroner and jury by
stopping the inquest into his supposed
death, as John H. Clark did. When a man
was killed on May 4 at the One Hun
dred and Fifty-fifth street station of the
elevated road, his wife went i to the
morgue and identified the body by the
clothes as that of her husband. On May 17,
when Clark heard that his body lad been
identified he thought it time to return
home.
Mrs. Clark sent for Coroner Hanly and
said: '1 am Mrs. Clark and this is my hus
band, J. H. Clark the one you were going
to hold an inquest on." The inquest on the
now unknown dead man will be held by
Coroner Hanly next week.

When -Near Success the Fiends Are Discov

SPECIAL TXLXOBAU TO THE DISPATCH.
Bridgeport, C03nr.,May29. The men
who have been guarding the grave of the
late Phineas T. Barnum had a startling ex
perience with grave robbers last night Al
though these guards were armed to the-
teeth and were,stationed not more than 100
feet from the vault which contains the
remains of the famous showman, it
did not deter the ghouls from their work.
Three of them tackled the grave at about 2
o'clock this morning, and had dug down a
little more than a foot before the guards
were aroused.
Then they dodged the bullets which the
guards fired at them and escaped with the
aid of a fast .horse, which was waiting by
the roadside attached to a covered wason. in
which they had intended to carry off the-
"When the body was nlnced in the under
ground vault a big stone slab, weighing two
tonSj was placed over the mouth of the tomb,
making it apparently secure from thrattacks
of grave robbers. This fact was evidently
known to the scoundrels who undertook to
rob the grave this morning. They did not
attempt to die down into the crave, as is
done in ordinary cases, but started their ex
cavations ac we siue.
Very Nearly Got the Body.
They were fully equipped for the work,
and in an hour, but for the presence of the
guards, the body of the great showman
would nave been spirited away. The guards
who kept watch over the grave ever since
Mr. Barnum diedi are John Callahan and
George Blakeman. They were stationed in
a little grove of trees from which a com
manding view of the grave was to be had.
A little hut had been built for their pro
tection from the wind and rain, and these
men have for weeks whiled away the hours
of night, each watching in turn.
Last night was a cloudy, dismal night,
and just the kind of night to call for extra
vigilance. It so happened that the two
fnardshadnot slept much yesterday, and
oth were sleepy when they went on duty
last night As they had never seen any
thing to excite suspicion of any trouble
they, with a feeling of perfect security,
dozed off for a short nap just after midnight
They were awakened a little before 2
o'clock by a naise which sounded as though
it was made by a spade or a pick striking a
stone. Their first thought was of their
charge. Looking toward the Barnum mon
ument they saw a sight that seemed to make
their hearts cease beating. In the shadow
of the monument the forms of three men
could be seen. Two of them were bent over
busily at work, and the-other seemed to be
standing on guard.
A Challenge at Midnight
"Who's there?" called out Callahan. At
that there was a startled exclamation from
one of the men. The rays of a dark lantern
were flashed in the direction of the guards,
and then the light was suddenly extin
guished. "There was bnt one thing to do," said
Callahan, in relating the incident to-day.
"These men could only be there for one
purpose at that hour of the night, and
the chances were that they would
do us harm. It might be our lives
or theirs. I called again, and receiving no
answer fired. The men started on a
full run over the graves, not stopping for
shrubbery or anything else, and we went
after them, firing as we ran. They had a
good start on us, but we could hear them
thfW their tools into the bottom of a
wagon near the cemetery pump. Not
knowing how many more men we might
have to cope with we thought it
iust as weU not to go any farther,
nut as they started their norse on a run we
could discern the shape of a covered wagon
in the shade of the trees. "We then went
back to the grave and found that they had
started a hole about four feet long, which
they had dug a foot deep out of the west
side of the grave. The dark lantern, the
rays of which we had seen, was lying on the
upturned sods, having been either forgotten
or dropped by the frightened sooundrelsin
their flight"
Placed in the Hands of the Police.
Nothincr else haDOened throushout the
night, and at daylight Callahan and Blake
man covered up the excavation and re
placed the sods. They thought it best to
keep the matter as quiet as possible until
they had notified their superiors. The
bullseye lantern left by the would-be body
snatchers is of the cheap kind made of
brown japanned tin. It may be the means
of bringing them to justice Callahan and
Blakeman are earnest, intelligent men, and,
although they were plainly still in an ex
cited state, they told straightforward
stories, which were supported by the con
dition of the grave itseuT
They congratulated themselves that they
were not harmed while they were -asleep.
Their theory'is that the scoundrels who
made the attempt were either burglars or
else had been under the impression that the
Cd had been abolished, and when Calla
hailed them-theyif ere-completely taken

SON RUSSELL TALKS.
HE SATS HIS FATHER IS NOT A CANDI
DATE FOR 1803.
After Some Questioning, However, He Ad
mits That the President Slight Accept
the Nomination if the Party Insists The.
Family! Against Another Campaign.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TOE DISPATCH.
Chicago, May 29. Benjamin Harrison
will not be a candidate for the Presidency
of the United States so says his son Rus
sell. " He came to Chicago yesterday and
was at the Auditorium HoteL During the
morning and evening the President's son re
ceived a good deal of attention' from poli
ticians. Russell likes to talk of
politics, and when he declared
that his father ' would not be
a candidateto succeed himself as President-
of the United States the men to whom he
was talking paid close attention to him.
He was conversing with a group of State
politicians at the Auditorium when he
made the declaration. The prospects of the
Republican party in the campaign of the
next Presidental year was being discussed
when Russell declared "President 'Harrison
won't be a candidate in '92."
Instantly everyone in the party turned to
the speaker.
"What's that?" spoke up one, "I said
that my father would not be a candidate for
re-election unless the party demand it
Should the Republican Traders insist upon
it," continued Russell, "then he will allow
his name to go before tho convention, but
under no other oircumstances. H.e cerv
Mainly , would, not be a candidate
if he consulted only his family. Per
sonally he had rather retire to private
life, but as an ardent party man he is will
ing to observcthe wishes of the majority.
The life of a President is not the happiest
one. "ThPPresident can't sail about with
golden wings He is so busy with the afiairs
of the nation that he sees very little of his
family. Then he cannot take a walk with
out being waylaid by officeseekers. In
many Tespect3 it is a disagreeable existence,
and I know my father would much prefer
private life."

NO BOMBARDMENT LIKELY.
America, France and Brazil Will Prevent
Any Shelling of Valparaiso.
'WASHINGT03', May 29. The State De
partment has not'been officially informed of
any intention on the part of the Chilean in- J
surgents to bombard Valparaiso, as reported
from Paris. There is no disposition on the
part of this Government, so far as can be
learned, to "intervene" in the Chilean
contest, for the meaning of this term
in diplomatio language is a siding with one
faction or the other. Now certainly the
Government of the United States is not
prepared at present to go to this length.
As repeatedly stated, our Minister to Chile
and the Ministers of France and Brazil
stand ready to mediate between the factions,,
in the interest of peace; but this is a very
different function from intervention.
If the insurgents should attempt to bom
bard Valparaiso, it is more than probable
that the foreign Ministers there would enter
an energetic protest based on the fact that
the foreign interests in that city are larger
than the native Chilean interest In view
of this large interest it may be that the
protest, ifdisregarded, may be enforced to
the foreign fleets in Chilean waters, but
their action would go no further than was
necessary to protect the property and lives
of foreign subjects and the Chileans would
be left to fight their own battles.

A Proposition to Reform Methods.
Rev. R. R. Johnston, of Philadelphia,
editor of Our BamteroSeiei. a written prop
osition to reform the methods of holding-.
Synod "Without tilling what his 'object' '
was, Bev. Mr. Johnston asked that it be re
. ferred to a committee, and then began mak
ing some remarks explanatory, but was
stopped by Prof. D. B. "Wilson, who was
evidently determined not to be taken by
surprise. A discussion was followed by an
explanation of the proposition, which was
for a delegated annual Synod, delegates
from Presbyteries and a general Synoojpo
be held every fourth year, the annual
Synods to have no power to finally adopt
overturesbut only the general Synod; no
appeals to-be taken from one annual Synod
to another, but to the general "Synod. Tha
matter was referred to a committee oT U,
6 ministers and 5 elders.
A letter of greeting from the'Reformed
Church assembled at Asbury Park was read.
A letter of protest, appeal and complaint
from Rev. "W. S. Sampson, as also the ap
peals of the rest of the suspended ministers,
was referred, without-reading, to the Com
mittee on Discipline. Rev. E. M. Milligan
asked whether it would be necessary to pre
pare another appeal or whether the one
transferred by the Pittsburg Presbytery
would be sufficient The Moderator de
cided that it would. He also decided that
the Presbytery should furnish a transcript
of testimony and the appellant present it in
the higher court
Colored Teachers Want-More Money.
Some colored teachers in the mission
schools in the South asked for higher, sal
ary, and the request was referred to tha
Finance Committee.
Rev. R. A. Somervflle readrthe report of
the Board of Foreign Missions. It reported
missions flourishing in Asia Minor and
Syria, but in need of money. Receipts for
the year were $19,618 89, an increase of
$1,151 over those of the year previous, but
still the Treasurer reported an overdraft
of $114 14, and $8,500 more will be needed
by September 1 to pay missionaries sal
aries. Elder "Walter Miller said he had been
informed by letter that the health of tha
Syrian missionaries was good.
At this juncture Dr. McAllister, whom
the liberals suppose to have spent tha
morning
Gathering his brows like a wintry storm,
Nursing his wrath to keep it warm,
arose and threw a bomb, reading papers
Iiroposing a libel against Rev. J. S. T. Mil
igan aud Rev. "W. It Johnston, in addition
to those against Revs. J. C. K. Milligan and
J. F. Carson.
They are charged with contempt of th x
authority of the church courts; with
heinous sin in publishing certain articles in
the church papers denying the pro
priety and legality of excluding from tha
Church those who do not Delieve in
the doctrine of political dissent; that as tha
doctrine has not been made a term of com
munion the Presbytery could not discipline
the seven young men lor this cause. It was
proposed to Jabel N. M. Johnston forfollow
ing divisive courses in teaching similar
doctrine.
Protest From-One of the Elder.
Dr. McAlister began a speech in support v
of his action, when1 Elder McAfee, in si
ringing voice, moved that the papers be not
received on the ground that they were un
presbyterial and unprecedented.
The Moderator ruled Elder McAfee out
of order and Dr. McAlister stated that bis '
action was founded in love and for the good
of the erring heathen. He had cogitated over
it on his knees before daybreak and before
bringing it before the Synod. He also be
gan reading a letter from one of tha sus
pended ministers, which was very humorous
nut spoke disrespectfully of the Pittsburg
Tresbytery as "thatt gang."
Rev. J. F. Carson rose to a point of order
that the letter had no reference to the case
under consideration, as it had not been
written by any of the four accused mem
bers.
