BISHOP JIC DON NELL SENDS WORD That Ho Has nothing to Say Concerning Mqnor BeiKerp, and Mis Church. Tho lettor sent by Archbishop Corrlgnn of New York yesterday to the editor of the Wins and Spirit Gazette, tho offlalal organ of tho liquor dealers, in answer to tho latter's deil concerning tbe enforcement of the. rules laid down by Mgr. Satolli, occasioned a good deal ot talk to duy among the liquor dealers of tbo Roman' Cutholio faith in this city. Many of them think that tha challenge of the Gazette was uncalled for and in bad taste.

Despite tho archbishop's letter the local liquor dealors feel confident that neither Archbishop Corrigan nor Bishop McDonnell will take any radical steps In the direction of excluding men.engagod in the business from societies counected'with tho church. An Eagle reporter culled at the residence of Bishop McDonnell to get his views, but he sent word by his private secretary, Father Barrett, that he had nothing to say. Several Catholic clergymen who were seen declined to bo interviewed. Two ot them said tb. interview with.Vioar General McNamara in the Eagle two weeks ago correctly defined tho attitude of tho local ohureh.authorlties.

Postmaster Sullivan was notified by the first assistant postmaster general to duy that ills application fornn appropriation of 15,000 for tho purpose of increasing tho salaries of post office olorks and for additional clerical help had beon grunted. Some time ago whon Postmaster Sullivan's olforts to Increase tlio number of letter curriers in timidly by fifty wore successful, hu thou gnv his attention to tho subject of strengthening his clerical force. He made a detailed report to tbe department of the number of clerks employed, tlio amount work they do and urged tbo necessity for an addition to tho of nt least fifteen clerks. lh also strongly recommended an increase of tlio salaries of the faithful clerks and he is to day very much gratilled at tho nows that bcb his recommendations have beon been approved.

About sixty live clerks in the general post office and tho city stations will benefit bj tho appropriation for nn incroase of salary, nnd us soon as tbe schedules aro prepared the names of the lucky ones will bo announced. Tbe incronso of salaries is to date from July Acting upder authority of tbe depurtmont.

THE OFFICERS BLUSHED "When Mrs. Mary Collins Looked at Them, in Court. They Aro Stalwart Spcclmen i of Blue Coated Humanity and Wouldn't flrilllniit Successes ns Ladles' Maids Didn't Curl Her Hair. Mary Collins, a rather hantlnomo woman, 35 years old, was arraigned before Justice Goet ting ic tbe Lee avonuo police court this morning.

She looked at Coiirt Officers Kane and Walsh and blushed. Tho two men, who nro stalwart specimens of humanity, looked ut tho woman sboepishly and thoy also blushed. The truth of tho matter was that tho officers had been oompollod to act as ladies' maids, al though 6trictly in tho performance of their duty. It seems that Mrs. Collins had some trouble with Mrs.

Julia Heidt who lives at iOii Koobling street, and as Mrs. Heidt got the worst of it sho swore out a warrant for her assailant's arrest. Officer Kane went to servo the warrant, and being aware of tho fact that Mrs. Collins was a troublesomo customer, ho took company along in tho person of Officer Walsh, when thoy arrived at the house the policemen found that Mrs. Collins wns in bed and she declined to get up.

although tho officers tola her that Justice Goottimr was anxiously expecting her at tho Lee avenue police court. Mrs. Collins remained in bed and laughed at tho policemen, but finally Officer Kane was struck with a bright idea and proceeded to carry it out. Shortly afterward tne woman was assisted to a patrol wagon and hurried over to court. It was generally admitted, oven by tho two officers, that thoy havo considerable to loam boforo they will bo competent to aut as ladies' maids.

Mrs. Collins did not look as trim as sho usually does, nnd in fact one would imngine that her clothes had boen thrown at hor. Officer Kano says that Officer Walsh lent Mrs. Collins the most assistance, while Oflloer Walsh ondoavors to turn the honors over to Offiatr Kane. Mrs.

Collins did not mako anv Darticn lar objection, boyond remarking facetiously to auothor unfortunate in tho pon that it was real mean of tho officers not to curl hor hair, whon she had irons In plain view on tho bureau. When tlio caso c.imo up. Justice Goctting committed tbe woman to jail pending examination on Friday. Mrs. Collins begged to bo allowed to go on pnrole, but whon tho magistrate saw the sorrowful countenances of Officers Knne and Walsh ho declined to give her any privileges.

GAYNOR ASSAILS THE MAYOR, He Is Disappointed With the Administration. THAT ALDERMANIC DINNER AT HEMPSTEAD. It ITos a Four Dollar Repast at a Fifty Cent Hotel anil Furnishes Blaterial for Inillctmenl. The City Fnthers Hnv No Right to Whisky anil Clfjnrs nt tho People's Expense Coxey and I he Senators Who Logldato on and Specnlato in Sugar Onr Common fchools Ki't Godless They Are to Ee Feared Only by, Denominations Inherenlly Weak and Without tho Vital Principle of True. Religion.

Echieren's Reply to Ills Critic "That Is Eiuiplj Justice Gaynor's Opinion," Snys the Vtiyor. (Special to tbo Eagle.) Bollport, L. July 31 Supremo Court Justice Wllllnm J. Gaynor is disgustod with the administration ot Mayor Charles A. Sohieren.

H. does not hesitate to say so to his intimate friends but for publication he sugarcoats bis criticism. To an Eagle correspondent his honor, who is at his summer cottage, said: We are having a good honest, respectable administration in the City of Brooklyn and must bo satisfied with it, for that in itself is indeed a great deal. I looked forward from the bsginning to no administration of affairs in Brooklyn that would have been in every department such an illustration of intelligent and Boiontillo government that it would be impossible for bad government to be perpetuated in. tho eity of New York alongside of it But our aspirations are one thing: After all we must lie content with what we have got.

I see th'3 aldermen went down to Hempstead to a fifty cent hotel and had a four dollar dinner, and I see the mayor approved the bill trine, whisky, cigars, sundries and all. I assure yon that I nover expeoted to see that. But never mind; I suppose they only forgot themselves. It would bo veay agreeable to me, being obliged to travel through nine counties as I do, to have my ear fares and dinners leaving the wine and cigars out paid for by the people. I havo the same bright to have mine paid for that the aldermen and the mayor have to have theirs paid for.

That is to say that I have no right at all and they have no right at all and are' subject to indictment for doing it." Justice Gaynor criticised the heads of the police department, the health board, the board of assessment and the department of eity works and then gave evidence of tho faot that he had been paying strict attention to affairs nt Washington by alluding to tho senators speculating in Bugar while they were considering and vot ing upon the qnestion of a tariff on sugar. He remarked: "It is awful, awful, the spectncle of these men nitting there considering the question of a tariff on sugar and at the sr.me time speculating in sugar properties. From tbe beginning of organized society, which wo call government, it is such things as this iSEfeioh navo invariably worked tho decline and. fall of governments and peoples. Nothing moro shocking has ever ocourred in thi9 country and we all know that the little which has been revealed concerning senators speculating in sugar stocks is only an inkling of the whole truth.

Not one twentieth of the real truth has been revealed. "It will have a bad effect upon tho country. "When Coxey and his so called army were approaching Washington, these senators gravely debated whether he should bo allowed to enter Washington or not. I did not then see any harm that he could do. It seemed to me that the best thing to do was to invite him to go before the committee and state what he deemed to be the grievance which induced him and hi9 followers to go to Washington.

I would havo listened him and when he got through I would have said: "Is that all, Sir. Coxey; 13 there not something else you want to say?" And when ho got through I would havo said: "Good day, Mr. Coxey. It is possible that ia this discussion you may have lot in a great flood of light upon us, or that wo may have let a little light in upon you. "The country could not fall to take note of the fact that while these august individuals were putting their virtue at such a superior pointjthat tbey were above listening to Coxey, they were at the same time speculating in a great product upon which they were at the same time legislating to raise revenue for the government.

The congress of tho United States is not above taking note of the economic disturbances in the United States, which move people even like Coxey. Aftor all, the main proposition that he went to present to them was that they spend say $50,000,000 a year in building interstate highways. If it bo unconstitutional it is easy to say so, but it must be remembered that on the theory of inter state commerce the congress of the United States appropriates about 60, 000,000 in every congress dredging all kinds ofc rivers and waters irom Cheese Quaker crook in Now Jersey to littlo fresh water streams in Texas. I am not for one moment suggesting that the Coxey movement had anything wise in it; but It was a very disagroeable revelation, that Whilff'tney were debating whether they would listen to Cexey or whether they would al low him to go into Washington, they were speculating in sugar' stocks and at the same time gravely legislating concerning the tariff on sugar. I do not go too far In saying, and I believe I know what tbe people in general think and talk about, that Coxey and the contingent of his army sitting in theft place could not be doing much worse." "Do you think there will be any considerable outcome from the constitutional convention now in session at Albany?" "It does not seem to me that tho convention will do much," replied Justice promptly.

"I seo, with satisfaction, that tho committee on education in that body reported by a large majority the proposition that no publio money shall over be used In this state for any schools, except our common schools. If the convention will adopt this, it will be carried by a lnrge majority. Oar common schools are the groatost of our future. I bogan in the littlo country district school nnd went through tho common schools, and that they are godless or that their tendency is to make tbe people godless I deny ompant icnlly. Our literature and oducational spirit and tendency are not godless but Go a loving and God fearing.

No religious denomination has anything to fear from our common school, except by putting itself In opposition to thorn and calling them godless and the like. Lot ejery denomination take care of its own growth and the Inculcation of. its religious tenets, and i in tho and those of them that fail ought to fail, because their failure will bo from tholr own inherent weakness and lack of the vital princinle of true religion. Lot them leave politics alone Bent Lehlch Coal at Cost. Range, 4.40 yurnocs.

94.H0. Kelbih Louqhlut. 127 Atlantic The Japanese Send the Chen Yuen to the Bottom AND CAPTURE OR DESTRGT TWO CRDISERS. One oftlie Most Powerful Vessel in the Celestial Navy Goes Doyen in a Fight Between Two Fleets Another Signal Victory tor tho lBlkndnTs Seamen Tho Results or an Engnga ment Yesterday Stirring Naval News From Tien Tsln. Tien Sin, July 31 A battle was fought yesterday between tha Chinese and Japanose fleets.

The Japanese sank the Chinese battleship Chen Yuen, and two largo cruisers, supposed to be the vessels built for China by the Armstrongs, were captured or destroyed by tho Japanese. The Chen Yuen wa3 a battleship of 7,400 tons displacement, carrying 14 inches compound armor at the water line. Her battery included four 12 inch gune, protected by an armored breastwork and two smaller Krupps. She waa also furnished with eloven Hotchkiss cannon and tubes for Whitehead torpedoes. In addition the Chen Yuen had two 8 inch and 6 inch Krupps in her main battery and a secondary battery of Hotchkiss revolving cannon.

The Chen Yuen was built for China, at the Stettin works; she was a slstor ship of tho Ting" Yuen and was the most powerful war ship in the Chinese navy, with tho exception of the Tig Yuen. Shanghai, July 31, 10 P. M. Nows just been received here of a desperate battle between the fleets of China and Japan, in which the Chinese were dofentod and tho Chen Yuen, the largest battleship but one In the Chinese service, wr.s sunk and two other large Chinese vessels, said to be first olass cruisers, we re captured or destroyed. The battle was hotly contested, but the Japanese appear to have handled thoir guns, ships and torpedoes with more skill than tho Chinese.

The Chinese fleet engaged carried nearly a thousand men and a large number of them are reported to havo been killed or drowned. Later dispatches sny that few," if any, of the Chinese engaged in the battle escaped. Two German officers In command ot tho Chen Yuen are reported to have met death with the crew ot that vessel. Shanghai, July 31 The news of the battle was received here by private telegrams from Tien Tsln and it is admitted that if tho report is true, it means that an end has been put to the power of China so far as fighting Japan upon the seas is concerned. Not one of the remaining ships of China will dare to show itself out of port if it is true that the first class battleship Chen Yuon has been sunk by the Japanese.

The Chen Yuen must have started out from attep: leaving tho Chinese transports there. 1 The two Chinese cruisers supposed to have been captured or destroyed during the engagement which ended so fatally for the Chen Yuen are the Chin Yuen and the Fob Ching. The Chin Yuen was a protected cruiser, built at Elswlck, England. She had a displacement of 2,300 tons, and attained an average speed, in her trial trip with all weights, batteries and crew aboard, of 18 knots. Her armament consisted of three 8 inch Krupp3 and two 6 inch Armstrongs, protected by splinter proof shields.

She also carried eight 6 pound rapid fire Hotchkiss guns, six Gat llngs and four torpedo tubes. The Foo Ching was also an English built protected cruiser, very much similar to the Chin Yuen. She had a displacement of 2,500 tons, was built of steel in 1800, and carried ten guns of about the same caliber as those carried by the Chin Yuen. Yokohama, July 31 The following official statement of the difficulties between China and Japan, which led to the outbreak of hostilities between tliase two countries, has been issued by the Japanese fiovernment: Japan and China' wore approaching a settlement of their difficulties when China, suddenly, requested Japan to withdraw her fleet from Corea and to glvo a formal compliance with the Chinese demands by the 20th, otherwise tho whole Chinese forces were to land and a sea advance upen the part of China was to be made. The Japanese regarded this as an ultimatum, but, acting undor tho advice of tho friendly powers, they agreed to the proposals, in principle, in amended form, at tho same time' declaring that if the threatened Chinese advance was made on the 20th, it would bo regarded as a menace to, Japan.

It is conjectured that the Japanese naval commanders were instructed to be on the dui vive tor the Chinese warships, and, seeing the latter advancing on July 27, thoy opened fire. The Japanese do not believe that the Kow Shlng, the Chinese transport sunk by a Japanese cruiser, was flying the British flag; but in any case thoy regard it, if true, as being a ruse de guerre. The Japanese indignantly deny the charges of brutality brought against the officers and crew of the cruiser which sank the Chinese transport Kow Shlng. No official report has been received at Yokahatna of this engagement. Madrid, July 81 Misgivings are officially ox pressed here regarding tho possible result to the Philllplno islands in the event of Japan be I coming tne dominant power in tbe rnr East, it is suld to be that Japan might ntillzo tbe troubles at Mindanao island, Malay Archi polago, as a pretext to execute her ambitious designs.

The Anglo American Telegraph company this morning issued the following notice: "Government messages to Tlcn Tsln and Pekln, when not written in plain language, are accepted, but are subject to the scrutiny ot the Chinese government. "Government telegrams in secret language tor Foo Chow are admitted. "Shanghai notifies that lines to Tien Tsln and the North are interrupted." The central cable office of tho Western Union Telegraph company has received advices from Hong Kong and Shanghai to the effect that tho Chinese telegraph companies will not accept any telegraphic messages respecting the war between China and Jqpan. The Chinese lanl lines, north of Shanghai, are interrupted, cuttins otf Tien Tsln and Fo kin. The Commercial Cable company this morning sent out the following notice: "Tho Eastern Telegraph company notifies us that the'lines to Chefoo, Tien Tsin and the North aro lnterupted.

The Eastern Telegraph company alao reports as follows: "The Chinese further notify us that they do not accept any telegrams respecting the war between China and Japan. "The Great Northern company reports that far oast traffic is arriving with hoavy delay. Mossages for Japan by that route arc accepted only at. the risk of the sender. "Tho Eastern Telegraph company accept messages for Japan, subject to delay." It Was One of Forty Sent From New York to Paris.

SOIPPED BF LA TOORAINE TO HAVRE. From That Tort the Consignment Was Taken to the Frenoh Capital by Train nnd tho Keg Disappeared on tha Way There Is Not tlio Slightest Clew to the Thieves Tho Pnckase Weighed Two Hundred Pounds and Was Worth $50,000.. Paris, July 31 The police of France are investigating what i3 probably one of the most remarkable robberies on record, and it 1b believed that the police authorities of the United States will be asked, if they havo not already been so requested, to take a hand In tho investigation. In some unaccountable manner a keg of gold from New York, valued at ou.uou, nas.boen stolen while en route from Havre to Paris. The French line steamship La Touraine, Captain Santelli, left New York on July 21, for Havre, with forty kogs of American gold on board, valued at $2,000,000, and consigned to various concerns.

She arrived at Havre July 29. The forty kegs of gold are believed to have been safely landed at Havre, and thev are also said to have been placed, complete, on Doara tne tram running between Havre and this city. But when tho precious kegs were counted upon arrival here there were uniy thirty nine of keg containing $50,000 in America gold, had by some means still a mystery to the police disappeared. The disappearance of tho keg has given rise to a number of police theories the strongest being that the gold waB followed from New York, by oxport thieves, who patfently awaited tholr chance to abstract one of the kegs, and who found this chance while on their way to" this city. The police, pending the termination of their investigation, will not give any particulars concerning the robbery; but it is belloved that several persons were concerned In the theft, for the keg must have weighed nearly two hundred pounds and even a very strong man could not havo carried such a load, alone, for any great distance.

Among the theories being investigated is one which may turn out to be correct. It is that the thief or thieves hid himself or themselves in the car in which the gold was subsequently placed, and that, while on their way to Paris, one keg was thrown out of tho train and tho robber or robbers Jumped after it. The fact that only one keg was stolen would seem to Indicate, according to aother theory, that only one person was concerned In this abstraction of the gold from the train. But the theories aro many and the facts made public are veryfew, not evdn the namo of the consignees of tho gold being made kown up to the present. Although It is positively asserted that the keg of precious metal was stolen while on its way to this city yesterday, there aro who ask if a mlstako may not have been made in the counting of the kogs at Havre and whether the gold was not abstracted on board La Touraine To this the steamship company's officers reply that it is impossible for thieves to got at the gold on board ship, so closely is It guarded, in addition to the fact that the small hold In which it is seajed up Is situated In the most secure part of the In any case, a most remarkable robbery has been commlted and the police of France are busily engaged In an attempt to solve the mystery of the disappearance of the $50,000 cask of gold.

The report of tho robbery of tho cask ot gold, shippad from this city by the Frenoh steamer La Touraine, has caused eonstderablo oxcito At tho office of the French lino it was said that no news of the robbery had boen received at tho Now York office. It was loarnd that there had boon three consignments ol gold by La Touraiuo. Two consignments of twenty ensks each, tho value of which was 32,000,000, were shipped by Lazard Freres of this city nnd were consigned to Lazard Frores Cle. of Paris. Ono additional shipment of ten casus was made by Messrs.

Hoidol bacb, Iekolhelmer Co. to tho Credit Lyonais nnd was valued at 00,000. These three consignments were delivered safely on board La Touraine, and receipts were given by the.recolving olerk on the dock nnd also by the second captain of tho steamer. Duplicates of these reoolpts were then forwarded to tbo office ot tho Frenoh line whero they ro maln on file. No theory as to how tho robbory was committed could bo advanced by the acents of tlio steamer.

The spocie, they say, is invariably placed in the ettong room, which is really an enormous safe, situated on the main deck, amidships, and is considered absolutely burglar proof. As to tha theory that It may have beon thrown from the train whiio en route from Havre to Paris, nothing could bo said in tho absence of information from the home ollice. At tho office of Lazard Freres this morning it was said that no news had renchod thorn of the robbery. They thought that if the stolen cask of gold was one of tbe forty shipped by them, thoy would certainly have recotvwl word from the consignees, and therefore felt pretty oertaln that it was not part of their shipment. They could express no opinion as to how such a robbery could have boen committed.

Messrs. Heldelbnch, Iekelheimor stated that they had shipped ton casks containing 500, 000 In gold, but thnt they hud heard nothing of the robbery and expressed tho opinion that it was not port of tlioir shipmonr. They added that they could oftor no explanation as to how surh a robbory could have beon committed. When asked who would bo hold responsible for the loss of tho gold, It was said at tbe office of Hoildelboeh, Iokolheimer A that in caso the ca.sk had boen taken from tho steamer the shippers would look to the steamship company for reimbursement; but if taken from tho railroad eompany, they presumed tho latter would be held responsible.

In talking about his successor next fall ne said: "Tammany is not bound to select a man for mayor from within the ranks of the organization this fall. We may nominate a man who is not a member of Tammany hall, if It Is thought tho interests of the Democratic party require it. The fight this year is but tho preliminary skirmish to tho real battle in 1896. If the Rt publloans win this city nnd state next fall, there Is not thesllghtest doubt that thoy will carry the country in 1896. They will also elect the next congress and leave the President without the support of either branoh of tho legislature during the last two years of his term.

In vieir of these conditions it behoovos every Democrat to make sacrifices in the interest of his part'. 'Do you think. Mr. Mayor, thBt Tammany will go outnido the organization for a candidate for mayor?" "I will only say." answered tho mavor. "thAt such a thing may bo done.
