King High.

The special correspondent of the AS
ISOLATED Press at Berlin was informed
on the 21st that Germany had finally
consented to restore King Maliatoa.
This action was taken finally after pro-
longed and persistent efforts on the part
of the American commissioners.
But now m another hitch in the
negotiations. This fresh difficulty grows
out of the claim for indemnity made by
Germany. The American section of
the conference holds that If any indem-
nifty is paid it must be a merely nominal
sum. Germany, OH the contrary. main
tains that in the conflicts between the
German forces and Samoans, the latter
were invariably the aggressors. Besides
the native partisans of King Malietoa
were guilty of the barbarous practices
of beheading German sailors, as we'll as
infiicting upon the wounded particular
cruelties. These acts. Germany insists,
should entail upon Samoa the payment
of special indemnity. Earnest efforts
are making in committee to settle the
dispute. but the matter is very likely to
require a reference to the plenery con-
terence.

TO COVER UP CRIME,

Revelations in. Connection With the
burning of a Church at San Francisco.
A San Francisco dispatch of the 25th
says: Startling revelations in n
ton with the burning OF the Russian
Church here the other day are coming
in. Late Thursday night B. M. Cop
schiritch, a member of the church, who
has been fearless enoughto assert thathe
believed that the fire was the work of q
faction of fiends who were anxious to de-
stroy the records OF their pilfering of the
past and the roster of illegitimate
children born to certain Russian and
Greek families in San Francisco, was
set pom by Eve men, one of whom
struck him with q heavy iron bar, cut
ting a deep cash in his chin and nearly
breaking his jaw. He had sufficient
presence of mind left to fire
a shot from his revolver at them
while On the ground, and the
would-be assassins retired. The
scandal dates back ten years. Bishop
Kiedeovousky, who attempted to root
out some of the i~mmoralities, was MUIR
dered. His murderers we're never
prosecuted. Since that time the church
has been split up into two or more fac
tons and it is charged that thousands
of dollars received from Alaska and pro-
ceeds from property in the hands of
church officers have been squandered.

Against the Board,

Before Judge Tuley, at Chicago. on
the 23d, Kennedy r. Owen secured an
injunction against the Board of Trade,
and the Western Union, and Gold
& Stock Telegraph Companies.
Mr.. owen clam in his bill
that for years he has done
business under the name Of Winchester
& Co. He did business with a ticker
and other telegraph instruments which
brought to his Office every moment the
condition of the market at the Board of
Trade. He does not hesitate 10 admit
that he has "built up and is now conduct
ing a very large and profitable business
as broker on commissions" otherwise
that he is conducting a profitable
"bucket-shop," against which class the
board Of trade is waging war by threat
ening to cut off quotations. The in
junction was granted on the ground
that the Board of Trade, together with
the telegraph companies, is building up
a great monopoly which is injurious to
the people, particularly to the people
who do business in ''bucket-shops."

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 24.-The police
think they have discovered the scene of
the assassination of DR.. Cronin. A cot
tage stands not far from S%ullivan's ice
houses that has long been vacant. Some
weeks ago the cottage was rented, but
was never occupied. Some furniture
was moved in at night, but
except two young Irishmen, no
one was seen about the place.
Shortly after the disappearance of DR..
Cronln the parties gave up the lease.
1t is said that blood spots have been
found on the floor Of the building. The
house is closely guarded by the police,
who refuse to admit reporters. Persons
who are said to be in possession of facts
that prove that the cottage was the
scene of the murder have been in
structed by the authorities not to talk to
anyone about the matter.
A reporter gained an entrance into
the cottage this morning, and discov-
cred blood stains on the front parlor
floor. in the corner of the back parlor,
IN the hallway, and on the front steps.
The steps were saturated with blood,
and the stains can be plainly
seen, although the murderers evident
thy made an effort to wipe away the evil
dence OF the crime. The parlor floor Ia
covered with bloody marks, although
here the assassins made strenuous eff
forts to destroy the blood stains. The
floor is daubed with brown paint, and it
can be plainly seen that the
work was not done with the hand
of an expert and hat the job
was done in a hurry. But the murder
ers did not succeed in completely COW
ering up the life blood of DR.. Cronin.
They did the work in such haste that
there are several places where blood
stains are perceptible. One spot in the
middle of the room is especially neg
lected, and a large spot can be plainly
There is said to be good reason to be-
lieve that the detectives found bloody
clothing concealed either in the base
ment or the attic.
The key to the Cronin mystery was
in a most literal sense brought to light
this evening. In the blood-smeared
cottage, which the police had already
decided was the scene of the murder,
there was found by a detective tonight
a brand new key. The officers decided
at once to try it in the lock of the mys-
ferrous trunk found by the roadside the
morning after Cronin disappeared. The
key fitted exactly. All doubt now seems
to be removed of a genuine connection
between the prisoner, Woodruff, the
doctors dead body, the trunk and the
bIOOd-Stained cottage.

OF TRADE.
Reports Much More Encouraging From
the Various Business Centars.

Reports Much More Encouraging From
he Various Business Centers.
r. G.. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says: The reports this week are
more encouraging. There are decided
ly better crop prospects, and a better
feeling in the branches of industry and
trade which have been most depressed.
Iron, coal and wool look better, and a
better trade liz cotton is expected to
follow the large auction here on Thurs.
day. Greater activity and better
prices in the stock market reflect a
feeling of increased confidence in the
business outlook. Wool is a shade
stronger. The average price of 1O4
grades of wool on the 10TH was a tenth
of a cent higher than May /. The auc-
ton of about 81, 900 worth of cottons
brought prices y per cent. below those
Of agents, and is expected to form q ba-
sis for more confident trading hereafter;
cotton is a sixteenth stronger, and ex-
ports as we'll rs receipts now fall be-
mind last years, but the crop reports
from the South are generally favorable.
There is a better feeling, but as yet
without improvement of prices, in the
iron and steel trade. While Southern
No. l foundry is still freely offered at
SIC, the higher grades Of No. l Western
are taken more freely at $18 at Phila-
delphia, and it Is hoped that the decline
has been arrested. But in rails no
change appears, and the run Of small
orders is at about $3.50 at r1ill. In
anthracite coal an advance in prices
June l, is announced. Lead is weaker.
Tin has advanced abroad, and sells here
at 20s cents. The agreement to hold
lake copper at II cents is not expected
by consumers to prevent a further de-
cline, and the buying is therefore re-
stricted.
Accounts from interior cities are with
out important change anywhere. At
Milwaukee the trade. larger than last
years, is considered disappointing be-
cause it falls short of expectations, and
that is probably the fact at many other
points. The failures number 229, as
compared with 252 last week, and 227
the week previous. For the CORE
spending week of last year the figures
were 225.

SCRANTON, Pa, May 23.-George Simp-

queathed his property to his brothers

Dram. Mrs. Dram was born in Scotland
eighty years ago. Her fathers name

George Simpsons estate admit that
Mrs. Dram was John Simpsons daugh-
ter, but contend that she was not born
in lawful wedlock, as John Simp-
son had never been married to any
woman other than George Simpsons
mother. The contestant holds that
John Simpson lived with Mrs. Grams
mother under the comparatively recent
Scottish custom which required the ele-
ment Of consent only to make a legal
marriage.

could not agree as to the cause of death.
although all were of the opinion that
Cronin might have been killed by the
blow at the outer corner of his left eye.
Even this blow was not hard enough to
fracture or splinter the bones under

cause the plate found in the lower jaw

road. which left here last night rolled
back into the Union Depot this morning
