THE CRONlN TRAGEDY.
An Investigation by the Coroner's Jury VIII
BeRin To-day,

CHICAGO, June 2-The coroner's jury will
tomorrow begin hearing evidence in the case
of DR.. Cronin. Superintendent Hubbard said
to-day that he knew of nothing that would re-
quire further postponement of the hearing
and he left it to be inferred that the prosecu-
tion would introduce most of the evidence that
has been CLEANED in the inquiries of the police.
No other arrests were in Immediate contem-
plation, the Superintendent added, and there
might be no more until after the meeting Of
the new grand Jury.

A Bright Spot ON Saturn.


For some months past the astronomical
world has been very much interested in the
claims of some observers as to having seen a
bright spot on the rings of Saturn next TO the
shadow of the planet on the rings. At the Lick
observatory the planet has been carefully ex-
amined with the large telescope, the observer
using bar in the eye piece to cut of various
parts of the planet and rings, to eliminate any
optical illusion that might be produced, and it
is reported that nothing abnormal has been
seen. It will probably be found the Lick OBJ
servers were right, and that the appearance is
simply an optical Illusion.

,uCmoAGo, Dec. 14.-There was no very de
csive news in wheat to-day, no very heaving
trading, and no material change i'll prices. 1t
was Saturday market with some covering,
some buying Tor q reaction, and great deal
of waiting for Monday and the visible sup
ply report and other influences that may give
tho market fresh start. Receipts here were
IO4 cars with &c ears No. 2 grade. Receipts
in the Northwest were light Liverpool
cables were without influence until the close
on the other side, when wheat was quoted
Il pence lower. The clearances were not
large but enough to firm the market. New
York cleared I'd, 800 bu., Philadelphia g.,
400 Blu. and Baltimore $1,000 bu. The es
innate on the visible supply report is an in
crease of about /, $50 900 bu., principally
at Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago. The
principal buying of the day in this market
was for Cottrell, and rumor had it that Nat
Jones was covering his short wheat in this
way. The action in the pit was as follows:
December sold at TIC and up to 77l2c; Janu
ary sold at 777sc TO 73lsc to Use; May opened
at SIC, touched 817s@S2c. moved up TO
S2ssc, and rested at S2l4c at l o'clock. 1t
was freely talked at the close that the leav-
Test operator on the floor, while openly act
ing bearish, has had over 100000 Blu of
wheat ElNGu W MN OIl putS NltHIh tNO uoEo'
This feeling on the floor was quite bullish
before the close, and closing prices were ia
ssc higher than yesterday. Receipts were %

271 cars corn, and 147 cars oats

he was after the corn or after the shorts, but
he bid the price of the month from 3ls4 to
33c, and the close was at 328ic. At the same
time he Was a seller of about 80 cars of gilt
edge corn, so that his holdings were not
much increased. The light receipts. poor
grading, aud The small stock here make the
market easy to control. Oats were dull but
stronger. and closed 1slD4c higher. Provis-

stands there at the back Of the senate
chamber with his hand on his chair.
Tall, straight aud well formed, he is one
of the handSOmeSt men in congress.
His black hair is combed back from a
very high forehead, the center of which
is Just verging on badness, and his lux
uriant black muStache shows out under
one of those large noses which are
characteristic Of great men. His eye
brows are black and we'll marked, his
eyes areablack. shining and liquid. His
cheeks have enough iron in them to add
a tinge Of redneSS to his brunette COM
plexion, and he impresses you as man
of culture and ability. Senator Squire
showed himself a man when he put
down the Chinese mob during his gov
eTnOrShip of Washington Territory some
years ago. He proved himself a good
business man when he was at the head
of the Remington Gun Works at a sal
airy of $4,000 year, and he added to
his business reputation and his own
comfort when he moved west to Wash
ingtOn Territory and by his investments
at Seattle made himself many times
millionaire and engaged in undertake
ings which now net him more than
twice the Presidents salary every year.
The papers made much of his coming
to Washington in special car. He re-
ferred to this the other day in converse
ton, and said he only took the special
car because his wife was not well, and
he paid for it out of his own pocket.
Senator Squire studied law with Rufus
P. Ranney, of Cleveland. Ohio. He is
not a new man to many of the senators,
for he has entertained many of them at
his Seattle home, and he is, am told,
the soul of hospitality.

stand that his business matters are in
such shape that he will pay 100 cents
on every Ollar heoweS. His health has
been restored by his summer in Europe
and his term in the senate will give HIM
all the rest he needs. He is, like all of
his family, man of good business abil-
itv, and his friends yet predict that he
will leave fortune when he dies. His
house in Minneapolis is mortgaged, |
am told, for more than 100000, and he
has put his property into the hands of
his creditors to manage it for them.
Senator Washburn comes from ore of
the best business towns in the country,
as well as from family noted for the
statesmen it has produced. Senator
Washburn is the youngest of seven
brothers, all Of whom have been more
or less noted and all of whom made for
tunes. Elihu B. Washburn. the ex-
minister to France, and for long time
congressman and senator and secretary
of the treasury, left more than million.
He administered on large part of his
estate before he died and among his
requests was one of a fund of $500, 900 to
be invested for the use of his two sons.
Cadwallader Washburn, who was gov
ernor of Wisconsin, and who was
noted general during the war, made
fortune in timber lands, built big flour
mills in Minneapolis, and died worth
100000; ard others of Senator Wash
burns brothers have done almost
equally as well. They have all been
noted for their charity as well
as for their money-making capac-
ity. and Cadwallader Washborn left
fully half million tovarious charitable
institutions. They have all been proud
of their family and they still own the
old homestead at Livermore, Me. They
had added to it and beautifled it during
their parents lifetime. and when it was

Senator Higgins has all aggressive look
about him. and he will evidently go
about the chamber with chip on his
shoulder. Dixon looks as if he might
fight hard if pushed to it. but he would
consider the situation and act accord
ingly. Higgins is the first Republican
which the senate has had from the state
of Delaware for generations, aud HOW
that he has gotten here he has come to
stay. He is building a house near
dupont circle, where he will entertain
with his two nieces, Miss Higgins and
Miss Corbett. He is bachelor. but does
not like hotel life. and at Wilmington,
where he lives when away from Wash
ington, he has q house of his own,
Senator Higgins is just in his prime.
and the fuzzy badness which IS begin
ming to creep into his sandy head is no
sign of loss of vigor. He is forty-nine
years old, and is one of the we'll
educated men OF the senate. He grad
uated from Yale at the time the war
broke out, studied law at the Harvard
law school, and was admitted to the bar
in 1864. He is lawyer with fine
practice, and is worth, am told, about
100000. In politics he is bitter par
tisan, and an all-day hustler. He be-
lieves in fighting, and the Democrats
say he is trying to MahoniZe Delaware.

who sits just in front of him
in the senate chamber. He went to
Dakota as labOrer in the employ of the
United States deputy surveyor, and
when he came into the state he had only
$40 i'm his inside pocket, and this money
he had borrowed of his sister. She told
him to take it, and when he was ready
to pay the debt TO invest the money for
her. He did invest it. and that $40, |
am told, now amounts to more than 500
600, and it brings in more than ten times
its original value in interest every year.
Senator Pettigrew built the first frame
house in Sioux Falls, and he had to cart
the lumber for it ninety miles. Much
of the road passed through sloughs, and
in such cases he had to take off the lum-
Der and carry it through on his back for
fear he would stall his wagon. He saw
that Sioux Falls was bound to be a big
city, and in the words of his Dakota
friend. he stuck in his toes and STAYED

now blossomed out into a big capital

men of the senate, anu lie Has III ms
veins some of the bluest blood of New
En- gland. His grandfather was :, sena-
tor i'm 1910, when Harrison was elected
president, and Senator Dixon claims on
the account of this coincidence the right
to a first cousinship with President Har
rison. His father was member of con-
gress in lS49, and he was again in con-
gress ffom 1868 until 1870, when he de-
elined reelection. The newspapers
i'm telling the story of Senator DiXOn's
life have repeatedly represented him as
being his own father or his grandfather,
and the truth as to the new senator's
congressional record is that he has
served no term in congress except the
three weeks when he was elected to
take the place made vacant when Chace
resigned and was elected to the senate.
Mr.. Dixon's first name is Nathan Eel
lows. This was the name of his father
and his grandfather. He is lawyer as
was his grandfather and his father, and
he graduated at Brown University as
all of his ancestors did. The senator
lives at Westerly, Rhode Island, quiet
little town of about 1900 on the edge
of Connecticut. He has his wife with
him at Washington and the two live at

not appear very much on the floor until
he has remained a year or so IN the

Der, in the furthest corner from the
front door, is a tight, clean-cut, bOyish-
looking young man, who looks more like
a clerk or a messenger than United
States senator. He has high, narrow
forehead. a pair of bright eyes looking
out over a straight, clean-cut nose;
smooth-shaven face, with the exception
of an incipient brown muStache. and
his cheeks are as rosy as those of a girl.
He is about five feet nine inches in
height, weighs $50 pounds. and looks
fifteen years younger than he is. This
man is Senator Allen, of Walla Walla,
of the state of Washington. lie is the
boy senator of this body, for, though he
is forty-four, he does not look over
twenty-five, and you would never take
him for middle aged man. John Beard
Allen is an Indiana man, who had a col
lege education, served in the army,
moved to Minnesota when the war was
over, and, after studying law there,
went to Washington territory just nine
teen years ago to practice. He was APP
pointed by Gen. Grant as United States
attorney for the territory, and he Is said
to be fine lawyer and man of ability.
He is a good speaker and diplomat.
