thousands of busy workmen, and the
tenth day of the work on this vast un-

change in the general situation here
to-day, and all the various depart

highly satisfactory to the parties in
charge. The stopping of work by the
Cambria company yesterday gave their
men a much needed rest, and they
went to work with much more VigoT

work. The same large crowds were
on hand for their daily rations, and the
various commissary stations were the
scenes of great activity. The great
quantities of debris which have beer

thieves. In a short time after the
robbery this agency began negotiations
for the return of the securities
which were of no value to them, but
of great value to the bank. The Sc
curities were recently returned, a
price being paid for them, but no one
knows how much the amount was.
The actual loss was not great-S1 900

the securities. The negotiations with
the thieves was long and interesting,
but the exact particulars are not
known. Had not the cash box been
locked the loss would have been large
instead of trifiing.

ATCHIsoN, Kan, June S.-The First
National bank of this city has just had
restored to it mortgage bonds valued
at something over $4,000, and which
were stolen from it last September.
Although this robbery was a very au-
dacious one and committed in broad
daylight, knowledge of it only Just now
leaks out. The history of it is briefly
as follows: During the month named
two men drove up in front of the bank
and one of them alighted and went in,
calling the clerk on duty into the pri
vate Office. The stranger said tina
there was a gentleman in the buggy in
the street who had an amount of money
to deposit for an estate, but that he
was lame and wanted a bank official
to go out and talk with him concerning
interest. The thieves had evidently

Patrick Egan and che CrOn,n Case.

RAATlcA ks20n ana the CHOmlm Case
WASHINGTON, June 9.-The report
that it may be found necessary to recall
Patrick Egan, the newly appointed
minister to Chill, in connection with
the investigation in the Cronin case,
creates good deal of talk in state de-
partment circles, and it is said, has
given PRESIDENT Harrison no little I'm
easiness. The appointment OF Egan,
ex-treasurer and president Of the Land
League, on either side of the water re-
spectively was intended as a signal
mark of recognition Of the labOrs of
the Irish leaders in behalf of the re-
publican party during the last three
presidential campaigns, and it is said
that the president felicitated himself
particularly upon this appointment, in
the belief that it was one of the
most popular that could be
made. 1t was bold stroke
moreover, in view of the fact that Egan
is still political exile from his native
lands Nevertheless, his appointment
was not received with such howl from
the English press as might have been
expected. No suggestion has been
made that Egan has been concerned in
the CrOnin case, but advices from Chi
cago say that all the evidence so far
given, points to the fact that the sum
of 800, 900, the embeZZlement of which
aroused DIR. Cronin and apparently
cost him his life, was wrung from Egan
while in Paris, as the treasurer of the
land league, by Alexander Sullivan.
AS the case at present stands, Egan's
evidence is more than material. If
he did give Alexander Sullivan the
sum in question. if this was the
money deposited by the president in
the Traders bank and subsequently,
speculated with at the Lester house,
then an important link in the chain
Of evidence which connects the TRAN
gle with the tragedy will have been per-
feet. 1t will be demonstrated that Gro
min, instead of being a crank, was en-
gagged in an honest endeavOr to expose
a gigantic steal. In official circles it is
considered doubtful whether there is a
precedent for recalling Egan simply to
explain his connection with the case,
but it is understood that advices re-
garding the present condition of affairs
have been cabled to Aspinwall where
his steamer stops and that the ques-
ton of Teturnining has been left to
his own judgement and conscience.
