RK Fracisco, June 21. L. K. Fulda, Pres-ident of tlic California Athletic Club, hasmade publicly a long explanntion and de-
fence of the action of directors and refereeIn the Corbett-T.icks- on affair. In the beRln-nlii- g
of his defense Mr. Fuldu makes this un-
consciously amusing statement:"We number in our membership scions of
the nobility of Europe, properly and regu-larly proposed, and elected. Many attemptshave been made from time to time to electunder fictitious names influential membersof the royal families, but such attemptshave seldom succeeded. We recognize noother standing than that of known re-
spectability."It would be interesting to know what
clergymen and members of royal familieshave been blackballed by the club becausethey didn't come up to standard respecta-bility. Coming down to the question atissue. Sir. Fulda deals first with the state- -
jnent that the directors had money on Jack-son. "The directors, as a rule, he says, "re-frain from betting, but a few hare done sofrom time to time. In my mind it should boutterly prohibited. On the occasion of thelate Jnckson-Coibe- tt match but 3 of the 11
directors had any w agcrs."After declaring that the club has been out-
rageously imposed upon at times, Mr. Fuldasays; "That cither Corbett or Jackson wasInipropeily treated win always remain anopen question in the minds of the unattend-au- t
public, but not in our minds or of thomajority of the membership of the club. Thegentlemen themselves are the only ones whoknew tho inner working of their ownminds, but are too astute to give them utter-ance, except as they leflect to their exonera-tion, preferring, very wisely, to leave theircase in the hands of their prejudiced andpartisan following. As a general thing, athoroughly defeated man will explain howthe other man was no good and only defeatedhim by his own failures. Suffice It to say,for our own part, that we only knew at thotime, from their own utterances and ourown observation, their trne condition, andJudged them accordingly."
mere may ueniore m mat puragrapn manappears on the suiface. Upon the authorityof some members, it is whispered about thatthe real reason for declaring the affair "nocontest" was that Jackson and Corbett wereoxcrhenrd talking while in the ring andagreeing to make the match a draw. Presi-dent Fulda, however, does directly andplainly charge that Corbett deliberatelyviolated the rules Torn the very beginningof the contest by clinching Jackson in everyround and paying no attention to thereferee's order to bit k away.
Mr. Fulda.'s statement of the circumstancesleading up to the of "no contest" isas follows- - "Finally, when it becameappa-rcn- t
to the rcfeiee that there wag no pros-pect of a termination, he called mo up andsaid that he did not propose to allow thomatch to go on in that manner, or the clubto be imposed upon; that the match was forthe championship and that the principalsshould cither fight or be ordered out of thering."

O'Xeil's Pittsburg team of stars would winthe booby piize on the trip Just closed, hewould have been laughed at. Such, how-e-x
cr, has turned out to bo the cace. Therittsburgs won Just 3 games in 1G attempts,1 each from Brooklyn, New York and Phila-delphia. I cannot imagine what tho troublelias been. The pitchers certainly shouldhave done better, and better efforts shouldha c been put forth by the team In general.An inclination to play a sleepy game wasnoticeable n several" instances, and thismay lia e caused the falling off. The ritts-burgs nrrived in Brooklyn Decoration Iiavmorning in second. place.

BABDSLEY'S SEHTEUCE.
It Is Believed That He Will Be Given aHeavy One When He Comes Up.
SPECIAL TF.LEGKAM TO THE PISPATCII.
Philadelphia, June 21. Bardsley'ssentence and his statement to the CourtTuesday promise to be the features of theCity Treasury scaudal this week. There ismuch spcculation,bothastothe sentence andthe statement. The intendsto excuse and defend himself, rather thantrace the missing money, and that being thecase, it is believed that'he will get a veryheavy sentence from the Court. The max-imum on the indictments to whicli he haspleaded is 3 years.
City and county officials are ofthe opinionthat if Bardsley would make a full andfrank confession to the Court it might re-
sult in taking a number of years off hissentence. On the other hand if heattempted to conceal anything or pro-tect anybody, they were as firmlyconvinced that the Court would givehim practically a life sentence. It is saidthat Bardsley appreciates this fact and itis also said that he believes he will be ableto impress the Court with the feeling thathe is telling the truth. Those who knowhim well know him to be sly and foxy andthey believe that he is going to be sly andfoxy to the end.
riFTX CHILEANS KILLED.
The Esmeralda Falls In Attempting to Se-cure Provisions.
"Washington, June 21 The ChileanLegation in this city y received a tele-gram from Peru, which says in substancethat when the warship Esmeralda, after itsvoyage to San Diego, armed at the LabosGuano Islands the captain, being short ofprovisions, landed 50 men to takepossession of provisions on the islands.The employes and workingmen in care ofthe islands attacked the men from the ves-sel, killing them and taking possession oftheir arms. The Esmeralda fired 80 shots,exhausting her ammunition. The dispatchconcludes as follows:
"It is false that the Chilean Governmentderived any benefit from the Labos Islands,whose works have been stopped since Jan-nar- y.
Perfect order reigns in Chile and thearmy, well disciplined, is anxious to go toTarapca and maj;e an end of the nitratespeculators."

Paris, June 21. The Comte de Monte-bell- o,
wh n replaces M. de Laboulaye asiFrench .Ambassador at St. Petersburg, willbe specially charged to obtain definite in-
formation, from the Czar as fo the action ofRussia in the event of war between Franceand Germrny. M. llibot, Minister of For-eign Affairs, has learned that M. de Labou-laye- 's
failure to get the proposal for an al-
liance disenssed arpse from the Czar's angerat the faci that the overture was first
daGiers, Bussian Minister ofForeign.Aflairs, instead of to him. TheCzar ordered M.de Giers to ignore the pro-posals for negotiations, and took the firstoccasion to snub M. de Laboulaye, who feltcompelled to ask M. Bibot to relieve himirom his duties.
The withdrawal of Baron Mohrenheim,Bussian Ambassador at Paris, is imminent,as M. de Xaboulnye acted on his advice.During the visit of the" French squadron toCronstadt, the Czar will be personally approached on the subject of united actionagainst the Dreibund, which is rendered allthe more necessary through the menacingof the commercial coalition between thetwo countries.

NOT A MERE FIGUREHEAD.
QUEEN VICTORIA SOMETIMES INTER-FERES IN POLITICS.
She Knows Better Than the House of Lordson "Which Side Koyaltj'g Bread Is But-teredWhy She Reluctantly Favored thoDisestablishment Bill.
London, June 21. The position of theQueen in English politics is usually sup-posed to be generally passive. Her Majestydid not approve of the disestablishmentpolicy, but she accepted the decision of thecountry, and the Commons used her influ-ence to induce the Lords on the one hand toaccept the bill and Mr. Gladstone to takeconciliatory methods with the Lords. TheArchbishop of Canterbury was her media-tor and and throughout theprogress of disestablishment the bill wentthrough an active period of wire-pullin-
interviewing, and lobbying which wouldhave strained the nerves of a professionalpolitician.
"When the bill went into the Lords thegeneral expectation was that they wouldreject it and that another of those Constitu-tional crises would arise which threaten theexistence of the Upper House as now con-stituted. The fate of monarchy is so'Tea-sonab- ly
associated in the mind of HerMajesty with'that of an heriditary UpperHouse as tq:rcate alarm when the positionof the Iaftcr "appears menaced! Un-doubtedly, if the peers had rejected the dis-establishment bill "Mr. Gladstone nouldhave been backed Up by an enraged coun-try, and the always impending agitation todisestablish the peers Its a legislative bodywould have received a dangerous momentum.The Queen wrote to the Archbishop:
Considering tho circumstances underwhich the measure ha come to the House ofLords, tho Queen Cannot regard, without thogreatest alarm, the probable effect of its ab-solute rejection in that House. Carried as ithas been by an overwhelming and steadymajority through a House of Commonschoi-e- expressly to speak the feeling of thecountry on the question, there seems no rea-son to believe that any fresh appeal to thopeople i ould lend ton different result. Therejection of the bill, therefore, would-onl-
serve to bring the fwo Houses into a colli-sion, and so prolongn dangerous agitation ofthe subject.
These words, pregnant of application inthe early, future, are being quoted through-out the Liberal press as a proof in anticipa-tion tha the Queen, accepting the verdictof the country on 'Home Itule, will-us- e allher power and personal influence to preventme Lorasirom opposing it.

Ind., at IS years of age, supportinghimself by working at his trade at odd hoursand between terms'. He was at Asbury University in 1840-- and after leaving collegestudied law.

A GBEAT ELECTRICAL GENIUS.
Something Abont Nikola Tesla, Who IsKnown by Many Plttsburgers.
Nikola Tesla is fast becoming famous andmany Pittsburgers who learned to knowhim during his stay at the "Westinghouseworks in this city rejoice at his progress.A few weeks ago Tesla was thought to benear his end from a bad attack of the grip.But he pulled through, stood up beforethe electrical engineers and took 250,000volts of electricity. As he laid down thehandles after this terrific shaking up heremarked quietly: "And the' say 1,000volts will kill a man?"
Tesla is a Montenegrin. His family arepastoral people. An uncle is a Bishop inthe Greek Church. He is slender in body,nervous m his movements and intense in Jiisapplication to the mysteries of electricity.His Greek face lights up and his black eyesgleam when he discourses on his favoreUtheme. The electrical engineers grow en-thusiastic when they talk of Tesla and hisdiscoveries. They Relive that theGreek is the greatest pioneer to-d-
in the field of electrical exploration.So declaring, they bar not evenEdson. Tesla performed before the engi-neers some experiments whicli one of themdeclared had not been exceeded in startlinginijjuiiauvc S1111.& a iiuic. X1U buggested and illustrated new tirinciples andpossibilities. He advanced the theory thatelectrical and other phenomena are iden-tical. "We cannot call electricity ether,but we may call it ether associated with-matter,-
he said."With the development of his theory of
ether power Tesla opens up a future whichis dazzling. "The time will come," he says,"when all our machinery will be driven, notby steam or electricity, as now? but by adifferent power. All we want is a way toenergize the dormant force. ."When we findthat the settler in the wilderness as well asthe manufacturer in the town will enjoy thebenefit of it.
"WHITELAW BEID'S BIO HOUSE.
Hls Country "Beslnence Will Eclipse Any--tiling Ever Tet Gotten Vp.
Mr. "Whitclaw Keid's new country houseat "White Plains, when completed, will bothe largest, handsomest and most thorough-ly appointed of all the luxurious country re-
treats of wealthy men in the vicinity ofNew York, says Contractor A. L. Bridges.The old house burned to the ground simplybecause there was not sufficient water athand to put it out. "We are putting in awater-work- s plant that will supply enoughwater for a small village. This has suggest-ed the introduction of.a dozen other modernluxuries, which heretofore have been sup-posed to be attainable only in town or city.Such is the electric. light plant, which willfurnish light for the big building from gar-ret to cellar.
The guest chambers number over onedozen. The dinipg room is long and high,almost completely sheathed in glass on thetwo,sides, and finished in polished oak. Thelibrary will perhaps be the most remarka-ble room in the house, with shelves for 25,-00- 0
volumes and finished in fine old season tdwoods, that will look as if they had stoodthe worms and frosts of centuries. The hallof entrance is as spacious as was the re-tainers' assembling place in some medievalcastle. Three open fireplaces will heat it.These are qlso found in every room, and asteam-heatin- g plant supplies their deficien-cies from the standpoint of actual warmth.Nothing on an equally extensive scale hasbeen attempted in a country house before.It is now nearly ready for occupancy, and Iknow that Mr. Beid will give a house-warmi-
in the old baronial style when he takespossession. Next faifT I think, it can bethrown open. The cost will go very near$1,000,000.

"The Mexican newspapers claim that Eu-rope gets most of the foreign trade,'" saidMr. Butcher, in the course of a conversa-tion upon the baby Itepublic, "but statis-tics recently issued disprove that statement.To-da- y three-fifth- s of all Mexican exportsand imports are transacted with the UnitedStates. It was only a few years ago whenEngland, France and Spain held com- -
Elete sway over the foreign trade, but theylost a great deal of it," and they are
losing more every month; and the reasonwhy the United States has been able tostep in is because of the recently built railroads, and because ot the Mcluuley bill.
The city ol Monterrey js the best in-stance of what Americans, can do in Mexico.Eight years ago this city had 20,000 inhab-itants; railroads and Americans came in,and now its population; by the last census,is given at 46,000. .
The Boom at Monterrey."Monterrey, you know, is -- the capital of
the State of Nuevo Leon, and is about 175miles from the Texas border. It used to bea sleepy old Spanish town; but now every-thing is on the jump. In 1882 Americanscommenced to come in,.with the railroads,and now there are 3,000 or 4,000 of themthere Smelting slants, emnlovine millionsand millions of capital, are in operation, onaccount of "Windom'S decision regarding theduty of lead contained in ores, and more arebeing built. Two lines of steamers are being organized to ply "between New York andthe new port of Tampico, about 300 milesfrom Monterrey; Americans are startingmanufactories in Monterrey and elsewhere,-- "
and Mexico generally has awakened to thefact that her salvation lies in a high pro-tective tariff", whereas the United States hasall to gain by reciprocity;
"It seems hardly possible that Mexicowill agree to any reasonable plan of recip-rocity, however, because she has vastlymore raw material than she knows what todo with; and she is succeeding splendidlyin getting mills and factories started withAmerican money and American machinery,both of which, you may be sure, come inwithout any duty at all.
Pennsylvania Well Represented."So far, Pennsylvania and New York are
better represented in Montterey than anyother States. AVilliam P. Grimm, formerlyof Philadelphia, has a large knit goods fac-tory there, and it is the only one in theRepublic of Mexico. He is doing splen-didly, and buys all of his wool within 30miles of his office. You can readilysee what a tremendous advantage hehas over those who have to pay forraw material grown 600 or 700 miles awayfrom their factories.
"During the last year Monterrey has beenenriched by three smelting plants for silverand lead, all managed by Americans, andowned by them and the English, Spanishand Mexicans. The Guggenheims, of Philadelphia, wnose worKs were lormerly atPueblo, are putting in at Monterrey ninefurnaces; and when, completed, these willlorm one of the finest smelting plants onthe American continent. They will have acapacity of 450 tons a day, and with theother two plants will need fully $10,000,000capital. Still another large smelting plant,owned by the Kansas City "Works, is beingput up at San Louis Potosl. The removalof these industries to Mexico, and the con-sequent loss of capital, etc,,to the UnitedStates, is due entirely, as I said before, tothe reading by Secretary "Windom of thesilver clause in the McKinley bill; andnobody is more delighted with that inter-pretation than the Mexicans. At first theywere anxious, for taey did not see whatwould result; but nowthey have great smelt-ing plants put in, enriching their most prosperous commercial center, and they aremighty glad of it.
A Great Benefit to Labor."All the labor at the furnaces will be na-
tive, except officers of the companies, ofcourse, and the machinists. Three yearsago, wncn i nrst Knew somctning aboutMexico, common labor cost from 25 to 37cents per day; at present you1 cannot get anable-bodi- man to work for less than 75cents. Houses that rented two years agofor 510 or $15 a month, now bring from f40to $30. Two years ago there was not a show-windo- w
in a store of Monterrey. To-da- y
the merchants have a high fever to seewhich can make the biggest splurge in suchdecoration.
"So far Pennsylvania seems to be morefavored in Mexico, for the manufacturersdown there want Connellsville coke, andthey get it whenever possible. Of the 3,000tons per month used by the Monterrey fur-naces nine-tent- is Connellsville coke, andwhen the Guggenheims get started theywill need 2,000 tons more per month.Monterrey gets considerable soft coal fromIndian Territory, and this, mixed withPecas coal, from'Texas, is used by the rail-roads. And, by the way, one sees moreBaldwin and Porter locomotives than anyother. Mexico has some coking coal in theSabina district, near San Fillippe, in theState of Coahuia, and the milling of this isgrowing to be a very large business. It isowned, I believe, by Huntingdon prin-cipally.
Cost of Living In Mexico."As an example of what it costs to live
in Mexico, just consider some prices ofmanufactured goods brought in from theStates. Fine accommodation at the prin-cipal hotel costs about ?10 per week. Fur-niture used to be brought in over the BioGrande, and a common cottage suit, costing$25 to $30 in Philadelphia, would sell for$115 to $120 at Monterrey. But nil thiswill soon be changed. A big factory ownedby Gerome & Dougherty is turning outfurniture there, and they will be able tosupply the market before long.
"It is a curious fact that nine out of everyten hats you see in Mexico bear a Philadel-phia trade mark, even including the som-breros. A hat sold at $3 here costs $8 or $9in Monterrey. I have seen no Americanneckwear in Mexico, that in vogue being ofFrench manufacture and very costly indeed.
Steel Rail Trade Lost to England."Heretofore all steel rails for the railroads
came from England to Galveston, and werethen brought through the country in bond.But when the new port of Tampico is fullyestablished this will be changed. A Phila-delphia steamship company has alreadyplaced a line of vessels there, and is building more, jiireauy a xoreign company nas'a line plying between New York andTampico.
"The population of Mexico numbersabout 10,000,000, but of these only about
are available as commercial factors.Splendid law and , order exists in the largercities, and the judges don't allow technicali-ties to interfere with the process of justice.,Education has been made compulsory, andin the City of Mexico isone of the finestmilitary schools in the world."
Mr. Butcher said again in closing that theUnited States has everything to gain fromreciprocity with Mexico; but that the latterhas about made up her mind to follow theexample of the States, and foster manufac-tures.

A SPECTRAL WITNESS.
CORPSE OF A MAN DRAGGED rROMTHE GRAVE FOR TESTIMONT.
Three Photographs of the Cadaver At-tached to a Deposition in Court A GirlClaimant's Effort to Establish the Iden-tity of Her Father.
Cincinnati, June 2L Three spectralexhibits photographs of a cadaver, whichhad lain in the grave for eight months areattached to depositions handed up to JudgeShroder in the .Ernst case. The body is thatof Andrew Ernst,"who died near Gunnison,Col., in August, 1889. It was placed in abox, the head resting on a bag filled' withhay. A thin shirt, trousers and a piece ofcanvas wrapped around the feet constitutedthe dress when the body was ready forbunal. It was taken to Gunnison and in-
terred by an undertaker there.The April following, litigation having
arisen over a legacy of $5,000 to one AndrewDeKnlb Ernst, who had been missing for 25years, the undertaker caused the grave to beopened, and with the aid of a photographer,raised the body, when three photogranhs ofit were taken, and subsequently attacked tothe depositions of the undertaker and hishelpers
Andrew DeKalb Ernst was a. son of An-drew Emst, whose portrait graces the wallof the Mercantile Library. He left theproperty on the northwest corner of Fifthand Race streets, to Seth C. Foster, intrust for his widow, who was to receive theincome and devise the property at herdeath. She gave it to her children, certainlegacies excepted, one of which was $5,000to Andrew DeKalb Ernst, her stenson. Hehad disappeared early in the sixties. Heleft two children in Louisville. One ofthem, a boy, died in a blind asylum. Theother, a daughter, upon attaining woman-hood married a stenographer, and is nowliving in St. Paul. This daughter is theclaimant of the $5,000 legacy in question.
The legacy to Andrew DeKalb Ernst wasconditioned on his being alive at the timeof the testatrix's death. There is no doubtat all that the St. Paul woman is the daugh-ter of Andrew DeKalb Ernest, deserted byhim in infancy. But before she can takethe legacy she must show that he was livingin 1883 and is now dead now. She contendsthat the Andrew Ernst who died in 1889, inColorado, was Andrew DeKalb Ernstherfather. Her claim is opposed by the rep-resentatives of her grandmother's estate.
ABE LINCOLN CUBED HIM.
How the Martyr President Took a DramFrom a Whisky Barrel on a Bet.
New York Son."William Graham Green, now 80 years old,
taught President Lincoln all he ever knewabout grammar. He tells this story: Thereused to be a fellow named Enoch Easten,who spent a lot of time.loafing around. Hewas a betting, trifling kind of a man and hehad a lot of tricks that he was always bet-ting on. He had a trick of doubling np hishand in some way so as to hide his middlefinger. Then he would bet you that youcouldn't mark his middle finger with a pen.I lost some nickels betting with him, andone day Abe Lincoln said tome:
"Billy, you ought to know better than tobet on anything, but especially than to betwith a man on his own tricks. You oughtto quit it."
"But, Abe, he's got 90 cents the "best ofme," I said.
"Will you promise me that you'll neverbet any more if I manage it so that you canget 'way ahead of him with one bet?"asked Lincoln.
"les," 1 said, "but I'd hate to quitloser."
"Billy," said Lincoln, "youaregeiting toan age when you're beginning to think agood deal about the girls. Wouldn't youlike to have a plug hat to wear when you goM.ii:nH n i...m ' '
"Yes, I would," I said, "but they cost$7." '
""Well, said Lincoln, "when Enoch comesin here again and wants to bet with you onhis tricks, you just say that you don t careto bet on such trifling things withhim, butthat you will bet that Abe can take a
barrel of whisky off" the floor andtake a dram from the bunghole. You' saythat you'll bet him a plug hat on it."
"But can you do it?" I asked."That night he took a barrel of whisky
and chimed it up a little on his left knee,and then tilted it on his right knee, andkind of bent back, and I pulled the bungout of the hole and he took a dram sureenough, and spurted it right out again onthe floor. The next day I won the plug hatfrom Enoch, as Abe had said I would. Ihave kept my word ever since, and I'venever bet on anything. And what's more, Iwouldn't for $1,000."

m DANGER OE DEATH
In the Case of the Snake eharmerBitten by a Gila Monster.
SPECULATIONS OP THE DOCTORS.
Sonell's Case lias an Important Bearing
on Hydrophobia. .
AN OID C0XTE0YEBSY AGAIN REYITID
..SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
New York, June 21. The gila monsterthat bit John Sonell's finger in Dr. C. S.Allen's snake poison laboratory Saturdayappears to have been a harmless specimen.Controversy rages over the poisonous or
nature of this lizard's bite, butSonell w"as certainly more frightened thanhurt. Dr. Bcnsel, who had charge of thecase at Belle vue, could find no symptoms ofpoisoning, and felt sure that the man couldget well if he djd not die of fright. Thismorning the swelling of his hand,which might have been caused bythe cutting out of the fleshwhich the lizard's teeth penetrated, sub-
sided somewhat. Sonell became convincedthat his fears of death were groundless Hewas able to cat, and permitted a cneerlulserenity to overspread his face. But themental shock had been so great that he wasstill weak.
"When Dr. Bensel was asked y whathe thought of the case, he said. "There isno doubt that the man will get well. Heeither was not poisoned or else the woundwas cauterized in time. It may be that thegila monster had been biting its basket andhad exhausted all its venom. Or, again, itmay be that the gila monster is not alwayspoisonous."
Dr. Bates, who cauterized the wound,said: "I have seen the gila monster bite agood many times, and I do not believe thatit is any more venomous than our littlelizard. It's ugly appearance caused allsortsof superstition to arise about it. If itis poisonous then I think Dr. Bensel's ideamay be right. I have seen a rattlesnakebite a half a dozen dogs. Jhehrst dog willget a full charge of poison and will die in afew minutes. The second dog will not diefor some time. The third dog will eithernot die at all or will take a much longertime. The fifth and sixth dogs may showno signs of poisoning. I do not think thatthe absence of the "crazy plant" in thehabitation of the gila has anything to dowith its poison. It it is venomous in oneplace, it will no doubt be venomous every-where."
The case of this man Sonell is interestingjust now in another way. There have beenseveral cases of supposed death from hydrophobia lately, and some controversy- - hasarisen as to whether "the victims died of thebite of a rabid animal or the fear of death.The balance of testimony inmost of thesecases has been in favor of the theory oftnght. let here is a man who receives abite from a supposedly venomous reptile,and who is convinced by long experience asa snake charmer with venomous reptilesthat the bite will kill him. His wholebearing showed that he had no hope of es-
cape. He is not an educated man, and isof an excitable, nervous temper. But hedoes not die from fright. The mentalshock prostrates" him, but his reasoningpowers seem to have been sufficient to con-vince him that his mdrtal fear was ground-less.
