Tue Logansport Pharos is moved to remark that Gov. Hovey is "a very obstreperous man." The school book trnst is still in the ring, but is a good deal disfigured. Another round or two, and it will be completely knocked oat. Titz latest presidential connection to be appointed to office is Col. D.W. McClckg. The colonel is only a cousin-in-law, but be gets the collectorship of internal revenue in the First Ohio district Next. The new postmaster at Ken Corydon, Ind., is a civilian. Three Union veterans were aspirants for the place. President Harrison's fondness for the old goldier is not so strong now as it was last autumn. Js'ot one of his prominent appointees from Indiana Miller, New, Huston, Porter, HiLFOBD fought for the Union. . It is said that President Harrison and his cabinet are having a parrot and monkey time. They all want to be boss (except Partner Miller), and little Bennie has sworn, by the great horn epoon, that be and he alone shall be the boss. Bennie pells boss with a big, big B, too. There is nothing in thi3 little misunderstanding to bring a tear to the eye of the most tender-hearted democrat. Iris reported that Ri-ssell Harrison Tvill leave Montana, because the climate does not a.-ree with his family, and take Txp his residence in New York City. The report ia, however, contradicted. The country should be given the truth of this matter at once. If there is any one thing that it is more interested in than another, it ia the movements and plans of Mr. Rcsell Harriso-n. ' The Mobile Fgr fays that "in 1S02 Mr. Harrison will be ready to adopt Mr. Cleveland's policy" on the tariff. That depends. In 182 Mr. Harrison will be ready to adopt arytbing the republican ho.-es put in their platform. He never originated any plan of party action, or even assisted to mark ort any line of party policy in his Yrfc. He is not a leader, but a follower. He pets his convictions out of the platforms. We we informed by the high tariff New York Pre3 that Mexican minerä are paid from 25 to 75 cents per day, while American miners are paid from 3 to S3.50 per dav. How docs the Pr(?s account for this marked disparity in view oi the fact that both the Mexican and American miners ere" "protected." If protection is what gives the American miners fair wages, why does it not do the tame thing for the Mexican miners? ' We pause for a reply. !Pke"ITent Harrison is credited with faying: "There is only one way to pet satisfaction out of public office, and that is to please yourself while you are in it. The only thin? that I will try to do as president will be to act so that when my trra of office has expired I can say with truth and a clear conscience, 'Thank Gor, I lave satisfied myself.'" If the president's record thus far satisfies himself, he Js not hard to please. His standard is low very low, indeed. 'Prof. Drummond, the English explorer, declares in a recent magazine article, that the United .States ought to join Germany in the oppression of the slave trade in Africa, But there is reason to believe that Germany is more interested in acquirine territory in Africa than in suppressing the traffic in human Vings, which e till cures the dark continent. Until Germany can give assurances that her African enterprises are purely philanthropic, the United States will hardly feel impelled to join in tbera. Distress prevails everywhere in the industrial centers. Strikes, lock-outs, halftime, reductions in wages these are the tidings that come from the manufacturing districts, east and west. What does it all mean? Was not Ben Harrison elected? Wasn't his election to mako good times for everybody ? Isn't the blessed 47 per cent, tariff safe? And doesn't it insure steady nrployment and good wazeä to all who are willing and able to work? That's what the monopoly organs and orators told us during the last campaign. They oushttocome to the front now and explain what the trouble really is. TriE Kew York edited by Robert P. Porter, Präsident Harrison's Appointee as superintendent of the census, 'warns' the administration that unless the secretary of the treasury decides that the protective duty of 1 cents per pound on lead ores applies to all ores containing lead, the republican party will be beaten rext fall in Montana, Washington and Idaho. The spirit in which Editor Pouter will enter upon Iiis duties as (superintendent of the census is foreshadowed by the tenor of this editorial Apparently Mr. Porter supposes it to be quite the proper thing for the secretary of the treasury and other government officials to construe the tariff laws in any way that will help the republican party to carry elections. And there is, unfortunately, no reason to doubt that Mr. Portes will handle census (statistics on the same principle. The census reports will .be made-to-order republican documents, and utterly valueless for purposes cf information. Gov. Hill is out of sympathy with the Txist thought of the day on the subject of election reform, but his head is level on the tariff question. In bis speech at the Cleveland banquet in New York City the other night he said: "It is no part of the proper functions of a government to assint in the creation of monopolies, the enrichment cf the few at the expense of tL Many, the establishing or fostering of rpecidl private enterprises to the injury cf the interests of the Vtholo xecple." Tho

doctrine of the democratic party, he said "is, and ever will be, that the right of taxation exists for public purposes only." Gov. Hill predicts that the farmers of the country will be with the democratic party the next time, because "they are now realizing the benefits and beauties of a high protective tariff, and will not be imposed upon again." One of the things which it is the mission of the democratic party to accomplish "is the relief of the people from unjust and unnecessary taxation." We commend these bold assertions of eound democratic doctrine to the prayerful- attention of our misguided brethren of the New Albany Ledger and the South Bend Time.

The Pennsylvania Disaster. All things considered, the Pennsylvania disaster is, perhaps, the most extensive and appalling that ever occurred in this country. The latest dispatches from the submerged district confirm the earlier reports, and indicate, indeed, that the calamity is even gTeater than was supposed Saturday morning. It will probably be some days before the loes of life and property can be even approximately estimated. There appears to be no doubt, however, that the number of persona drowned will run into the thousands, and that many millions of property has been swept away. Of course the vast majority of the snrvivors of thi terrible deluge are reduced to destitution.' Everything that they had houses, stock, wearing apparel, supplies has been swallowed up. The accumulations of years of patient industry and self-denial have vanished in an instant, as it wee. Worse than all, as the great Cambria iron works and other industrial establishments which afforded employment to so many thousand dwellers in the stricken valley have been destroyed, the sufferers will have little opportunity, for a long time to come, to again become self-supporting. It is useless to speculate now upon the causes of this frightful disaster. Until a thorough investigation can be had and the results given to the world, it will be impossible to form an intelligent opinion as to where, if anywhere, the responsibility rests for the shocking sacrifice of life and property which has plunged a rich and populous district into sorrow and distress. The meager information now at hand does not justify us in assuming that the disaster was one that could reasonably have been anticipated, or that it was the result of a failure to take such precautions as prudence and humanity would have dictated. It may have been, and probably was, one of thoe terrible manifestations of natural forces which human wisdom can neither foresee nor guard against. Be this as it may. We have, for the moment, to deal with consequences and not with causes. Thousands of our fellowcountrymen are sorrow-stricken and suffering. Through no fault of their own they have been plunged into the depths of misery. The blackness of death and despair hangs over one of our fair valleys. Wo ran not restore the lives that have been lost ; we can not heal the hearts that have b-en broken by the rude sundering of nature's htronzest tief; we can not j give back babes to their mothers nor i parents to their children nor wives j to their h Urban Js; we can not ! reunite the family circles which have ' been shattered. Only a I lieber Power ; tan bring succor and consolation to the i stricken ones who survive all that made ! existence dear to them, an 1 contemplat- ; ing the wreck of their cherished hopes, can only marvel: "How strantre it is. With so much ane of life ani lore, To still live on :" But we can do something to relieve the physical necessities of the victims. We can give food to the starving, shelter to the homeless, apparel to the naked, medicine to the sick. This is a pressing duty. The occasion makes a loud call upon our common humanity. It should be promptly responded to. Indianapolis, we are glad to say, has already come to the front with a substantial offering. Within an hour after the first appeal for assistance had been received, the relief committee of the board of trade forwarded 51,000 to the submerged district. This is a good beginning. Let it be followed up with further and prompt remittances. Indianapolis can afford to give freely of her abundance to those whom a cruel fate has suddenly reduced to destitution and despair. The Fuel Problem. The discovery and utilization of natural gas promises to lead to the gradual displacement of coal, in its crude form, as fuel, even in localities far distant from the great reservoirs of natural gas. There is every reason to believe that we are on the eve of a tremendous revolution in our fuel system. Within the past year or two crude oil hrs len extensively su)stituted for coal in manufacturing institutions at Chicago and elscw here. All over the country artificial gas ia being employed, to a considerable extent, as fuel for culinary and domestic purposes. J There is a decided probability that, in the near future, pas will be substantially the only fuel in use, at least in the centers of population. In Indianapolis and all cities in or near the great natural gas fields, the natural article will be used; elsewhere coal gas or a gas generated from oil, will be utilized. Mr. George Westi'gitocsk, the inventor and manufacturer of Pittsburg, and one of the leading natural gas men of the country, has caused experiments to be made with a view to the production of a cheap non-üiuminating coal gas, which are said to have proved very successful. These experiments have demonstrated, it is claimed, that euch a gas can be mann factured at the coal mines in the irnmedi ate neighborhood of Pittsburg, end served in that city and its suburb at not exceeding 15 cents per thousand feet. This gaa could probably be piped a long distance and then served at a price considerably below the present cost of coal. In cities like Chicago, Cincin nati, Louisville, St. Louis and Kansas City the smoke and dirt which attend the extensive use of soft coal are felt to be in tolerable, since Pittsburg, Indianapolis and other natural gas cities have enjoyed the luxuries of a clear atmosphere and plenty of sunshine. They and all other cities and towns similarly circumstanced will seize with alacrity upon any device which will relieve them from the heavy masses of smoke that now hang over tbeu

like a pall and envelope them in an almost perpetual fog which, though "English yon know," is intensely disagreeable and oppressive. Gas is the coming fuel. There is no doubt about it. Natural gas where it can be had; artificial gas elsewhere. Ten years hence little if any coal will be hauled into the cities. It will be converted into gas at the mines and piped to the centers of iopulation. Voorheea, the Coal Miners and "Protection.' The Journal, which is doing all it can to embarrass the Clay county miners in their brave fight for existence, denounces Senator Voorhees because, in sending them a timely and unsolicited contribution, he ventured to remind them that they were starving under the highest protective tariff the country had ever known. In view of certain recent occurrences at Washington, we should have supposed that the Journal would have felt a little delicacy about attacking Senator Voorhees. But let that pass. Its onslaught upon Mr. Voorhees will not injure him, but it will serve to invite public attention to the fact that President Harrison has not yet contributed a penny out of his fifty-thousand-dollar ealary to the relief of these unfortunate miners for whose welfare he professed such deep solicitude before the the election. But let that pass also. What we wish to emphasize is the despicable meanness of the Journal insinuation that Senator Voorhees "took measures to have the amount of his contributions (to the miners' fund) published." This low insinuation is entirely characteristic oi the Journal, and wholly gratuitous. We happen to know that Senator Voorhees took no measures to have his contribution or the letter accompanying it published ; and that the letter was given to the press without his suggestion or knowledge, in the hope that it would stimulate contributions from other sources.

This is not the only meanness in the JonrnaVt article. As is its habit, it puts words into Senator Vooehees' mouth which he did not utter and then makes them the text for denunciation of him. It speaks of "his assertion that the pres ent duty on bituminous coal is the highest ever known in American history." But he made no such "assertion," or anything like it. The Journal ouotation from his letter shows that what he did say was that the present tariff was "the highest protective tariff ever known in American history." And so it if. And as the pro tectionists contend that a protective tariff benefits all classes of laborers alike, whether they are engaged in protected in dustries or not, the amount of duty on coal cuts little figure in this matter. The Jot'rmtl concludes its screed with this: " If the duty on foreign coal causes miners' strikes in this country, as Mr. Ychu;itei would imply, what causes them in free-trade England?" What Mr. Vooritei: implies is not that the duty on foreign coal causes miners' strikes in this country, but that it does not prevent them. This, even the Journal will have to admit. These striking miners are taxed an average of 17 per cent, on almost everything they and their families consume, and are told that by paying this tax they Secure for themselves steady employment at good wages. Do they? If, after paying this tax, they are forced to choose between work with hunger and idleness with starvation, is it not plain that th?. tax is a wicked imposition, a fraud, a robbery? And is it not due to the men who have been so cruelly swindled that the w rong of which they are the victims should be pointed out to them ? As to the miners in "free trade England," if they occasionally strike, they at least have the satisfaction of knowing that they are not heavily taxed under the pretense that they will be thereby saved the necessity of striking. In other words, they are not systematically lied to and robbed as the American miners are. And as a matter of fact, to-day, while tens of thousinds of the "protected1' coal miners of A merica and Germany are in enforced idleness the unprotected coal miners of "free trade England" find steady employment at living wages. Which the Journal ought to explain, if it can. Gov. Ilovey's Folly. The disgust with Gov. Hovey throughout the state is profound, and is shared about equally by men of all parties. His mulish obstinacy has had serious consequences in many communities, and as he shows a disposition to persist in his course of blind obstruction, the patience of the people is rapidly becoming exhausted. In this city the erection of the addition to the blind asylum, for which the legislature made a liberal appropriation, cannot begin because the new trustees (whose election has been declared valid by the supreme court) cannot get their commissions from the governor. The new insane asylums at Evansvillo and - Richmond cannot be equipped and thrown open because the trustees are not allowed to assume their duties. The county poor houses throughout the stato are full of insane people, whose condition is such as to move the hardest heart to pity; and it is Hovey'ü bull-headed ih-.-s that keeps them there. The etate of Indiana has provided hospitals for these unfortunates at a vast expenditure, but the hospitals are unopened, and the insane are living in filth and misery all that Hovey may pose in a Napoleonic attitude before the people. The discipline in all the institutions ha been greatly relaxed, owing to the confusion and uncertainty resulting from the governor's asinine course. It is too bad that no remedy is at hand for the mischief wrought by this absurd person. We 6ee nothing for it but that the people shall grin and bear it. As for the insane, and the blind, and the deaf and dumb, they will have to go without shelter, and decent food, and proper treatment until such time as Hovey's folly has run its course. Great pity, indeed, that the mad caprice of one man should have such scope! Mr. Sim Coy, by the grace of President Harrison, was able to return home Monday, once more a free man. Ho received a warm welcome from the old friends and neighbors who have never lost faith in him, believing him to have lecn the victim of a wicked partisan conspiracy. The infamous course of Judgfl Woods in the recent election cases has strengthened this belief. It is well to remember that Coy was conj vict-jd upon the unsupported testimony

of a self-confessed ' perjurer, and that the tribunal before which he was tried was "organized to convict" It is well, also, to bear in mind that, if he did commit any offense, he has fully expiated it He has paid the penalty of the crime of which he was accused, whether he was guilty of it or not. He has suffered imprisonment while men notoriously guilty of offenses ten times as serious as that imputed to him were receiving the protection and countenance of 'the very persons who were most, relentless in urging his prosecution. That ho is a man of fine natural abilities and many admirable qualities, everybody who knows him will concede. His past is behind him; his future isin his own bauds. The Sentinel hopes and believes that that future will be such as to vindicate the judgment of those who have always insisted that St. i Coy was not guilty and whose fidelity to him has been due to their firm belief in his innocence, and not to any sympathy with fraud.

Silver. The silver question promises to give this administration a good deal of trouble before it is a year old. The republicans have a very narrow majority in both booses of congress, and the western silver men propose to take advantage of this fact to force legislation which will put silver on the same basis as gold in our coinage. They will demand the passage of an act requiring the treasury to buy and coin not less than four millions of silver per month. The Chicago platform last year contained the following: "The republican party is in favor of the use of both gold and silver as money, and condemns the policy of the democratic administration in its efforts to demonetize silver." This was somewhat ambiguous, but the silver men construed it as pledging the republican party to a silver policy and they will insist that the pledge is redeemed or know the reason why. Such a bill as they piopose will probably receive the support of nearly ail the western and southern men in congress, regardless of party, and may possibly command enough votes to overcome the presidential veto, which it will, doubtless, encounter. President Harrison and Secy. Wisdom are "gold bugs," but they would, doubtless, like very much to dodge the silver issue. But it will certainly be forced upon them, and they will have to meet it in a way that will alienate a great number of republican voters in the West. The truth is, that all restrictions upon the coinage of silver ought to be removed. It should be placed upon perfect equality with gold. The policy of discriminating against silver is thoroughly unsound, and ought to be abandoned. Eastern influences maintain this policy, but the West and South, acting together, are. strong enough to overcome these influences. We hope and expect that this silver question will be pressed at the next session of congress. The interests of the people demand perfect equality between gold and silver in oar coinage. And whatever the issue of the attempt to secure such equality, the democratic party will be the gainer thereby. It is not only wise statesmanship,' but good p-mtics, for the democrats In congress. to forcer this question to the front, and keep it there. Executions By Electricity. Great interest is manifested in the approaching execution of a murderer at Auburn prison, New York. The execution will be by electricity, being the first one to take place under the new law. Indeed this will, if we mistake not, be the first application of electricity to this purpose in this or any other county. Electrical experts havo differed as to the probable success of the process. Some have insisted that it is by no means certain that instant death will follow the passage of the current through the felon's brain. The weight of authority, however, is on the other side, aud trouble on this score is hardly to be expected. As the World says: "In every case where an innocent lineman or . wayfarer has fairly grasped a live wire death was an instantaneous sequence, and there is no cause to question its efficacy in the case of criminals." The new law prohibits the newspapers from publishing detailed reports of an execution. The newspapers of New York will, it is expected, ignore this provision, and publish the very fullest reports they are able to obtain. ; They hold that this provision of the law is invalid, because it conflicts with the constitutional guarantee of the freedom of the press, and that it will be so held by , the courts. There is little doubt of the correctness of this view. The newspapers can, we think, report the electrical executions without fear of any more serious consequences than the payment of lawyers' fees. If the new system of executions proves a6uccess in New York, its general adoption throughout the country will certainly follow at an early day. If it is more humane, morescientific, more speedy, and more certain than the barbarous methods of exterminating criminals now in vogue, it will and ought to be quickly introduced into Indiana and every other state which proposes to continue capital punishment I net k ii.i Postmaster.

THE MYSTERY IS SOLVED.

WOODRUFF TELUS THE WHOLE STORY He Not Only Dtot th Wagon Bat Knew Exactly What Be Was Delng and Aaalited In Placing Crontn't Body In the Man-Hole. Chicago, May 2S. Frank Woodruff, alias Frank Black, has been taken into camp by Capt Schaack, and he has told the whole story of his connection with Dr. Cronin's murder. According to the statements he has made to the captain he was not directly connected with the murder itself, but 6imply acted as the driver of the wagon. Woodruff has been taken to tho scene of Cronin's murder and aUo to the sewer where the body was found and the place where the trunk was first seen. Woodruff himself gave the driving directions to the detectives, who held the reins, and in every instance located the exact places where the chief acts in the tragedy occurred. According to his confession, he was directed by those who had charge of that part of the conspiracy, and whose names Capt. Schaack reserves for reasons that are palpable, to go to Dinan's livery stable, where he would obtain a horse and waeon. He had already been instructed to drive the outfit to the neighborhood of the Carlson cottage, and he also knew for what purpose he was to go there. Woodruff arrived at the cottage about twenty minutes before Dr. Dronen was driven up, and placed his horse and wagon at a point near the cottigo where he could keep his eyes on the front steps. He saw the white horse rig containing Dr. Cronin and his conductor arrive, and three-quarters of an hour thereafter the man who was known as Williams opened the front door of the cottage and gave the signal by stamping his foot on the wooden porch. Woodruff at once drove up, and assisted by the third man, the trunk was loaded into the wagon. The two men followed the trunk and directed Woodruff, who continued as the driver, to drive eastward to the lake v to a certain point w hich Woodruff had designated to Capt. Schaack. The wagon headed for the lake and in its depths the trunk and its contents would have been deposited had not the interrntion come from the Lake View policeman. This smashed the original plans of the two men, and immediate steps were taken to get out of the officer's way. This was done by taking a circuitous route w hich ag:dn brought them to the Evanston road. They had now been driving for nearly an hour with their ghastly load, and one of the men sugzested the sewer. A stop was made at the r Ifty-ninth-st. intersection of the Evuiston road. The top was taken olf tho man-hole on the southeast corner rnd the trunk lifted from the wagon. It vas then a new and unexpected dilliculty presented itself. While, it was possible to drop the trunk with the body into the lake. It became a piiysienl impossibility to thus dispose of the load in the man-hole. It was rosolved to take the body out of the trunk, drop the body in the drain-basin and to return with the trunk to the cottage and burn it. But when the trunk was to be unlocked it was found that the key had been lost. Williams 6aid there was no more time to be lost and he kicked in the lid of the trunk. The three lifted the body out and deposited it in the sewer as it was found. The trunk was again placed on the wasron. It was intended to go south for a distance and then to drive north to the cottage and there deposit the trunk. "Right here," said Woodruff to Capt. Schaaek, pointing to the exact spot where the trunk was found, "we heard a noise of wagon wheels from the south, and the two men, one of whom had been sitting on the trunk, picked up the box and threw it out of the wagon. I was ureed to whip up the horse and drive west. When we reached Fullertonave. both men said good-night to me and left the wagon." The remainder of the confession is devoted to Woodruff's wanderings with the horse and wagon in his attempt to sell them. He also state in his confession thrt there is nothing in the woman story be had told. The enormity of the crime never dawned until he had taken part in it When he was arrested he knew he was in a "bad box." The names King and Fairburn were those of two old friends, and they came to him on the spur oi the moment They had nothing whatever to do with the case, SOME VALUABLE INFORMATION Gathered by the Police From the Mao "Mack," Arrested Thursday. CHICAGO, May 31. An evening paper says that some valuable information in the Cronin cae has been gathered from the man "Mack," alias Williams, alias McWilliams, who was arrested in a cheap lodging-house. Mack claims to be a carpenter. He told the following story : On the 2d of May he was working for a Mrs. Wilson on N. Ashland-ave., scarcely a block from the Carlson cottage. Mack was putting in screen windows at the time. While at work, a lady, whose name he understood to be Mrs. I)urlley, cum in and began to talk with Mrs. Wilson. Mack was in the same room, and he overheard every word. Mrs. Hud ley, who is a stout, fleshy woman, was talking very bitterly against a physician who bad attended her husband. Mack says he heard the name "Dr. Cronin" mentioned, but he did not know whether the physician complained of was the Cronin referred to or not. Mrs. Dudley seemed very much eiciteil and frequently made the remark in great spirit, "J will gt-1 even with him." Mrs. Dudley said that she was working in an orphan asylum on Burling-st., but that 6he was going to leave the asylum and that he daily expected to go to live with her two brothers in a cottage near by. Mrs. Dudley pointed in the direction of the Carlsou cottage in referring to the place she she was going to move into. At the Chicago nursery and half orphan asylum ou Burling-Ft. it was found that a Mrs. Dudley had been there, but bad since gone away. It is believed that Williams is one of the men who rented the Carlson cottage; that he is a carpet-layer by trade and that he laid the carpets in the cottage. ANOTHER LINK IN THE MYSTERY. Discovered In the Month of a Sewer Burled a Foot Under Groond. CHICAGO, May 31. Dr. Cronin's clothes have been found and another link forged in the chain of evidence that surrounds the murder. The first clew wai obtained by the finding of the drawers by Sol Hamburger and Ivhlis Bresch, the little boys of Lake View. Louis Hamburger, the eigbtcn-year-old brother of the first named lad, then notified the police, and conducting Lieut. Schuetler to the mouth of the Fifty-ninth-st. sewer Instituted ft starch which resulted In the unearthing oi the murdered physician's pants, coat and undershirt. They were buried over a foot under ground, and were only discovered by probing ia the aud with sharp sticks. Theshirt bore the name of the unfortunate doctor, and the other articles were readily recognized ai portiona of his apparel. The pants ia Children Cry for.

t AeTy stained with blood. 3 however, the physician'. vest wa. . I vestlf much coarser rtal. nutninj m th rww.tr.ta s oennies and a cigar, lnis jtar-2i??ö-SlT belonged ; to . one of the murderer, or gtJ.JJSS. h! oTscove'r? Ä tha? Cronin's tS may be discovered in the pcssession of one of the niurd Considerable importance is attached to the fact that w hen the drawers were first discovered by the little boys a couple of strangers appeared on the spot and ordered them to destroy the garments and throw away the pieces. This mandate was obeyed, and no more was thought of the matter until the older brother was casually informed of the circumstance. Both these men were etrangers in that locality. The residence of the Carlsons was carefully searched by the police to-day, but nothing of a suspicious nature was discovered. The people of Lake View are demanding that the sewer in which Cronin's body was found be searched from the catch basin to the lake. They think it possible his tools aud hat and overcoat mi"htbe discovered in it, but as the aperture is onfy three and a half feet in diameter, the police are chary about facing the danserous sewer-gas. It i probable, however, that the sewer will be to-morrow thoroughly flashed, at least. It is reported upon apparently reliable uhority that a blood-stained spade was Biso discovered near tbe spot where the. clothing was found, but the police give this an emphatic denial as they have the many other important discoveries which were subsequently bubstantiated. RESPONSIBLE FOR CRONIN'S MURDER.

An Officer Denies That the Columbia Clab Had Aught to Do With His Taktng-Ofr. Chicago, June 1. Mr. J. F. Beggs, a young Dearborn-st. attorney, is the reputed senior guardian o! the Columbia club, or Camp 9ö of the Clan-na-Gael. It was by this camp, as the story goes, that Dr. Cronin was tried for treason in star-chamber proceedings and eentenced to death. The police have for some days had their eyes upon Mr. Beggs and have been zealously laboring to collect evidence enough to connect the young Irish enthusiast and his camp with the removal of Dr. Cronin. Mr. Beggs was seen this afternoon and doesn't look at all like a criminal or an assassin. He appears to be about thirty-two years old, has light hair and mustache, blue eyes, and a ruddy, open countenance. ".My belief is," said Mr. Beggs, "that the oath of the Clan-na-Gael forbids me to disclose the names of the officers or members of the order or its objects or proceedings. Therefore I can not answer your questions as to who are members of the Columbia club and whether I am the senior guardiaa. However, I will Uli you frankly that I hope the oath of secrecy may be suspended until this thing is cleared up. If the Clan-na-Gael does not acquit iuelf of all connection with this crime, it will be totally wrecked and tho Iri?h cause iu America will perish with it. People will say, 'We have contributed about $3,000,000 to free Ireland, and J-S-'.OOO of it has been stolen and a horrid murder committed to cover up the theft, and we will not contribute another cent.' But if the oath of secrecy should be suspended by the chief executive ofiicers of the order, the order will be instantly acquitted of complicity in the crime." "What makes you so sure aliont it?" "Well, 1 know positively that if the books of the order should be laid open before the grand jury, and all its members subpenaed and ex amined as witnesses, it wouid be made so plain that the Clan-na-Gael, as an order, had nothing to do with the murder that such a thing would never be thought of acain." "You must admit that Kever.il Clan-na-Gael men were connected with it." "I don't think that i clear. WoodrufTis not a Clan-na-Gael. McGeeluin seems to have extricated himself from suspicion. The evidence against Cough! in does rot se-ni to inn to be very strong. P. O. Sullivan is in a worse fix. But I don't think that enouch Clan-na-Gael people have been connected wiih it, nor that they have been cloaely enough connected with it to justify the belief that Cronin was tried and executed by the order." "What do you think of the work of the police ?" "It is all prosecuted on the theory of club action, and a long as they work on that theory they will fail. They will have to look in some other direction lor the motive, or they will never accomplish anything. Therefore, I earnestly hope, and in fact I may say that 1 expect, that in a short time the order will be liberated from its oath, and will soou after be easily, entirely and universally exonerated from having any connection with the murder." DID IT GO TO BLAINE. An Irish-American Thinks the Wasted Money Was Thus t'sed. FlTTSBrno, June 2. A Washinington special says: "There is a rumor extant here that politics had something to do with the $:0,000 of missing Clan-na-Gael funds, said to be the cause of the Cronin tragedy. A prominent Irishmnn.who was connected with the affairs of the Irish republicans during the campaign of 1SS4, said that it was well known that at one time during the campaign something in the neighborhood of $100,U)O was received in a lump by the republican managers that was credited as "contributions by the Irish-Americans." "The source of this was not generally understood, and the fact of it coining iu a lump, without any organized eliort to secure contributions from this source, was a puzzle to many at the time. "The suspicion is a reasonable one that Patrick Ecan, through Alexander Sullivan, contributed funds of the Irish nationalists to the success of Mr. Blaine when be was a candidate for president. The lact that Mr. Blaine has recently had Egan appointed United States minister to Chili gives some color to the story. Alexander Sullivan and his faction were in control of the order. It is known that Sullivan was one of the foremost men in the Irish diversion for Blaine. He was brought on from the West and 6timiped all over New York for th republicans. Sullivan and his faction took to Biaine because they thought that if elected he would adopt a foreign policy inimical at England. Sullivan exercised absolute 6W over the organization at the time."

"The fact is," be said, "we are investigating wherever there appears to be a clew. We must necessarily do that in a case like this where there is so little known and so much to learn." "Are there any recent developments?" ".No, nothing to-day. We are pursuing onr investigation with all vigor possible, but progress is slow. There have been no new developments within the past twenty-four hours." Scanlan Makes a Denial.

The other members of the families discovered this fact some hours later, but it did not seera to agitate them, until they discovered that the girl was dying. Then they sent for a physician. He arrived too late to save the girl, but administered emetics to Bell, who will rteover. The police are investigating the case, and are completely mystified.

The police have arretted Frank Gardner, w ho is believed to be the boy who procured the drut; for the Sullivcn girl. They have also locked up James Bell, a brother ot Frank Bell, and Annie Korkcr, who lives in the neighborhood, who will be helJ as witnesses. Boih the Sullivan and Bell fsmilies have a very unsavory reputation. Their neglect to summon a physician at once is attributed to 6tuporor indifierence superinduced by driük.
