ARCHBISHOP CORRIGAN'S LETTER Will He Give Orders Concerning Sunday Liquor Sellers. the the Now York, July 30.—The World will to- moiTOW say: Archbishop Corrigan has written a very Important letter to the editor of the Wine and Spirit Gatetto in which he makes on authoritative state- nu-nt with regard to the docl.lon of ».« tolll affecting Catholic liquor dealer*. The archbishop's letter was called forth ny an.editorial latently published in the Gazette, which says of Mgr. BaZolll ■ de cisions: Will it be enforced to the clbeL of tho country? Fully two-thirds of the retail llqour dealers of the country are Itman Catholics. Some of these ore lib eral 'cuntributoru to the church fund. We appreciate fully the delicate post tlon In which Archbishop Corrigan and tho other bishops of the Catholic church In this country are placed by the decree ot the rapal delegate. We voice the aentl- -nenta of a large majority of the liquor dealers of this city and Brooklyn In say- irg- "We dare Archbishop Corrigvn to enforce In lettrr and spirit the decree on the liquor traffic Just tasted by Mgr. 8a- tolll, the papal delegate. Let ihe arch bishop do It and watch the consequence. Tho archbishop's letter Is in hls own luih&writlng. In It he says: "In reply to your expressed wish, I have the honor to say that I loyally ac cept tho principles laid 'town by Mgr. Batolli. both In their spirit and to tho let ter. .Mure than till* no Catholic can re fuse to accept them. As to the fear of (■onscquenceH, I have yet, thank God, to learn what fear la In she discharge of my duty. Please remember, however, that icceptance of' principles Is not to be con founded with the blind application of the same on all ocau>lonfl and under all cir cumstances. (Signed "M. A. Corrigan. The editor of the Gazette, P. J. Smith, has this to &iy about the archbishop's letter: "The archbishop does not entire ly and squarely meet the issue. It Is not a qestlon of accepting a pdncljrfe laid down by the head of the church, but of the courage to cany out in letter and in Bpirit the principles Just proclalmel by the papal delegate In the face of seem ingly adverse public s»*rtUment Ihe Is sue la: Will the arohbWhop give orders to refuse admission to Catholic societies to any one engaged either aa principle or agent in the manufacture or sale of intox icating liquors, and will he instruct the clergy to deny the right* end privileges of the church to liquor dealers who sell cn Sunday? The declaration of the arch bishop seems to Justify the cmcluMon that, in the ilUcharxe >f his duty, he will enforce these principles, although no does not say so in his letter In difttlnce terms, developments will shear how far ichislon Is Justified.’* this COPPER MINE ABANDONED.

The Democratic conferees on the tariff bill .were In session more tlian an hour this forenoon, but failed to reach -rny agreement on the three items of coil, Iron ore and sugar. The house confer ees maintained their previous position dikmding 'by the house bill and the senate members were equally firm in their attitude of loyalty to the senata bill. At 1 o’clock the Democratic and Republican conferees met, and Mr. Har ris announced the situation the Hull committee. Tho conferees then ad journed, subject to tile call of the chair man. Messrs. Voorheos and Vest were not present. Mr. Voorhees is confined __ hls toed and the impression prevails thois hls condition Is worse than he bad been publicly acknowledged. Mr. Vest was at the capltol. but remained in hia committee robrn. He has erysipelas and hls ifaoe Is painted with iodine, so.he remained away from the conference, subject Vo call if hls presence there was required. When Mr. Harris made the statement thaft the Democrats had* been unable to agree and that they would consider the question further before they called _ conference together Mr. Allison, speaking Cor the Republicans, said that he hoped the Democrats would get to- gefctier and agree upon something as soon as possible, ns the country w.io anxiously awaiting final action, and that such action should be had. In anticipation of Buch result ns bias happened Mr. Springer had circulated a call l\>r a caucus of the house Demo crats to meet Tuesday, but this after noon Wie daite for the action wus changed to Thursday. None of tne house conferees signed the call for 'tnw caucus and they are disposed to regard it as o rellectlon upon them. This >ro- pooed caucus was not, however, touch sa upon in the tariff conference this morn ing. It Is apparent, even do a cawy.il observer, that the house Dcmocra U* have determined net ito accept the senate bill without some concession. Throe of the four house conferees (Wilson, Montgom ery and Turner) arc willing 'io remain In session until the 4fh of next March rather than surrender to the senate. Mr. MoMlllln. the remaining member of the house committee, is more liberal and Is wilHn T to meat the senuie conferees In a more conciliatory spirit. The house conferees know, however, thait their po sition bad the Indorsement of tho presi dent and Speaker Crisp, as well aa that of a majority of ihe leading member* of the party upon ttie lloor, uiul this hi an encouragement to 'them. Laet week there was comitUeiuible talk talk of a recession on the part of the house and the aoeep:ance ot the eemtto hill ns betas bettor than no bill. These Bentl- ments weto expressed again In tile houso -today, but not to the same -x- tent ns formerly, while It was signifi cant Wtt* those who Insist upon the house bill were more determined In their position than ever. j Notwithstanding the apparent Hope lessness of the deadlock, there are mem ber In -both houses -Who predict that a -.•a-riff bill will be agreed upon and passed. They are not. however, willing to be quoted oa *to how lit la to be done, or what the bill will be like. Peking, July 30.—The following la the Chinese official version of the engage ment which rccmtly took place between tho Chinese and Japanese fleet*: The engagement between Japanese and Chi nese chips occurred In Prince Jerome gulf, in the inlet on which Aehan* Is situated. The Japan<*»e attacked the Chinese vessels which were escorting tho second and smaller division of troops dlspatcheil from Taku to rein« force ^he Chinese army afe Ashan. The Japanese opened fire, tho Chinese har ing strict orders not to fire unless thoy were attacked or If the landing of the Chinese troops vfan opposed. The re sult of the action was than bne Japan ese Ironclad was disabled by the Chi nese battle ship Chen Yuen. The Kow Shung, which was sunk by the Japan ese, was a hired transport flying Ihe British ling. No news has been received hero of the loss of the Chinese wnwhlp Tsa. Kiang, said to have been captured by the Japanese. The Japanese and Chinese ministers remain at their posts. NO QUARTER SHOWN THEM. Shanghai, July 30.—The following ad ditional details of the sinking of tho Chinese troop ship Kow Shung have been received here.

Washington, July 80.—The govern ment lias determined to establish a na val coaling station for the North At lantic and Cacrlblan Sea fleet at Key Went. It has been the custom of ’.he navy department for many years to or der veeoals cruelng there io coal either at Kingston, Jamaica or Colon. U has been demonstrated that the m»w move will result In grva.t economy In oost of fuel. But that is not the only consider ation that haa Influenced the notion of the government. American coal will be used Instead of foreign ooal, which Is now generally found ait Kingston, Cnr- itegen i and Colon. A market will be uttered for many ton* of . Alabama, Ten neosee 0/ Virginia coal. Recent appro priations will enable the navy depart ment to increase the facilities for the storage of coal at Key Went, and this will probably be done. lit 13 the secretary’* purpose io send the Montgomery to Mobile about Octo ber 1 next, whore **he will receive the testimonial now awaiting her at tho hand* tof the ladles of Montgomery. Then *he will, unless some public exi gency prevents, cruise for a time in the waters of the gulf, and miners will be invited to send to her for tri.il while their specimens of their coal. All Ala- baml&.na hope thait the rasult* of tbe trials will be to secure for Alabama* coal the market thus opened. Everthlng will depend, of course, upon the price at v/btah coal can be laid doin ot Key West, and lt* nt earning qualities. The Morfterey ha* been ordered to make sim ilar trial* bf coal on Pugvt sound.

The Japanese absolutely refused to give quarter. TQue transport sank nehr Shopoint Island, for which place Capt. Galsworthy was steering, Intend ing t'o beach her under fire of the cruiser, when the fatal torpedo dis charged. OFFERED TO SAVE THEM. Shanghai, July 30.—It ifl understood that China will not forrnnHy declare war until the .vessel* and ammunition which she ha* oidered shall have been got safely Into Chinese port*/ The trans ports Mee Fi>o and Toonnn, which tho Chinese feared h«ul been captured, have arrived at Chee Foo. Sixty torpedoes were sent up the Klan-Gyln channel of the Yang-Tbe-Kiang. The fortyone sur vivors* of the Kowshung dlaaster who were picked up and landed nt Chee Foo by the French gunboat Lion tell a story differing In a few details from previous accountri of the Kow Shung** end. When the Japanese began the attack, they say, the Kowshung bore away ft>r safe ty. The Japanese warship dirove her Into a bay -to shallow that the Chinese captain hove to rathoi* than run the risk of running aground. Several Jap- a»i ewe ofllcers then came aboanl to say that they had orders to sink the ship and io offer to talco off the Chinese of ficers and crew. The Chinese ofllcer declined the offer and the Japanese re peated it, but tho captain persisted In his refusal or even to consider it. The Japanese then left the ship, which went down'a few minutes after belng’wtnnk with n torpedo. The survivors, who aro almost exclusively cool lea, confirm tho report that not an officer was saved. A French warship, the Lion, attract ed to the spot by 'the sound’ of the firing steamed up as tflie transport sunk and succeeded In rescuing some of the Chinese soldiers, bur all the for eigners are reported to be killed on board the Kow Shung, or drowned when she sank. Tho Japanese, accord ing to this report, tire said to have be haved with an utter disregard for the laws of civilized warfare. Report* 'that the Chinese army has pawned the 'northwestern frontier of Corea an<J -Is marching down the penin sular are confirmed. A second army is hnstily equipping to follow the first. No detail* have been received from the bit tie said to have Uaken place at Aahan between the Chinese and Jap anese. I‘t Is reported that several Chi nese steamers have been captured and a number of others destroyed at Tiku by Japanese criftsem. Btejimers often wait a week at. Taku before they are able to cross the bar, and it Is said there -was a fleet of Chinese ffteamShips off Taku when they wer^ surprised by the Japanese warships and were either captured or sunk. ft.

The •Uftemoitt* nvtde on behalf of the Chinese government that the Kow Bhung'wes sailing under the British flag, and was chartered to carry troops to Corea, presents the possibility of tem'Jttiona! complications. War had not formally been decinred and con sequently her cargo of soldiers mas not contraband. The Chinese government han ordered the construction of four torpedo boata by German Shipbuilders. London nu.rohrat* having dealings with CMciere during the last fortnight have offered to sell to China several torpedo boats and a number of En glish steamers, which the owners c’.ilm can readily tot converted Into cruisers. They have also offered China nearly 1,000 guns of all sizes and styles and »a lot of 4,000 Manlicher rifles with <a large mount of cartridges. When thes< ./ere made, the Chinese government took no notice, but today several of thtiee firms have received communica tions from China Baying ’that rapid de livery will be the condition*of sale. The quotations of Chinese and Japan ese eecurtlcs and exchange do not sho w even a fractional difference from their normal figures. The second officer of the Kow Shung, sunk by a Japanese cruiser near Sho- polnt Island, Corea, was the eldest son of an Essex clergyman, who lost his youngest son in 'the fire sit the Exeter theatre. CHICAGO MUST PAY DAMAGES. Railroads and Shippers File Suits to Recover Losses During the Strike. Chicago, July 30.—Notices were to day formally served by Samuel B. Fos ter, attorney In fact for several rail roads. of damages claimed against the city of Chicago and tho county of Cook for loss of property durng the Ameri can Railway Union, strike. The no- tf.Vses wero served on the mayor, city clerk, the'corporatlon counsel, the city attorney and oho president of the conu- ty ’board, the bounty clerk and the county attorney. The aggregate dam ages claimed are $38,670. This repre sents only nbhit one-ten'th of the ac tual damage clartmed, many of the roads having several days left in which to file ithdr cBalmi. Besides these claims, shipper* have filed through Mr. Foster claims ito the amount of at least $200,000. This was done toy the rfhilppera on the express declarations of the railroads that they will pay no claims whatever made against them by shippers for damages to. freight handled during the strike. The general managers’ «usocla tlon takes the ground that the City and county, In not furnishing adequate protection to the railroads, are directly responsible for nil damages to freight. Tho damages claJmed by the jTllroads are mostly for cars burned after July 1. It is believed that many more suits for damages will be filed by shippers who lost heavily on perishable freight during tho strike. »Sk — EARTHQUAKE BtHQCKS.
