BURKE'S RIGHT BOWER.
Michael Oooney Sought as His Ac-
complete in Crnin's Murder.

CHICAGO, June 19.-An entirely. new
Cronin suspect Is being looked for tonight.
His name is Michael Cooney, and he has
an odd sobriquet, the."Fox." Cooney and
Burke are claimed to be the two men who
ectually killed Cronin. Both are Gamma
Gael men, members of Camp No. 20.
Coopey Is brioklayer by trade, and like
Burke came here from ireland only few
years ago. Bnrke's number in Camp No.
20 was los and Oooney's 100. Each is des.
cribed as enthusiastic on Irish matterssand
particularly bitter regarding the British
spy system, which possibly their personal
experience has given the men. as they con-
sidered, good Cause to detest.
According to the best information OBJ
tainable tonight little hope was to be en-
tertained of the arrest of Cooney, i'm
mediately, if at ell. There was feeling,
apparently, that be had been given too
long a start and was already in some safe
retreat.
State Attorney Longenecker allowed it
to be inferred that he has two witnesses
who will swear that Coopey and Burke
slept in the Carlson cottage several days
two suspects were seen leaving the
cottage the fatal night of May
at 1l:30 p. IN. Both are said to
have proceeded to a saloon in thegicinity
and drank heavily. Cooney's sobriquet
is not given to him because of any physical
peouliarities "The Fox" is the name Of a
humorous ditty of interminable length
which Cooney was won't to sing, and
through which he became somewhat
widely known.
The information regarding him, it
should be understood, is seni-official but
neither the chief of police nor the states
attorney. 1t is claimed. deny the reports as
given are correct

AN APPEAL FOR SUFFERING MINERS.


INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, June Ex-Governor
Hovey tonight prepared proclamation in
relation to the strike of the block coal
miners of Clay county. He quotes the adj
dress sent him by the commissioners of
Clay county, and then states that he does
not presume to claim any legal right to re-
quest or demand any aid from the citizens
of this state for the relief of the suffering
miners or their families, but he hopes the
appeal will meet warm response.
He continues as follows: THE people Of
Clay county should realize the fact that
such relief can only last for a few days,
and that the officers of the county
have ample authority under the laws of
the state to make full provisions for all who
may need assistance. The legal powers of
the county commissioners and township
trustees cannot be doubted Sections
COIL, COTS. 6076 and 60S9, of the revised
statutes are cited in support of this state
ment.
The governor continues: "No appropria-
ton has been made by the laws of this
state to meet such contingencies out of
any public fund and if great or unexpected
burden should, unfortunately, fall upon
the people of Clay or any other county, it
is believed that the generous people of the
state would compel their representatives
to make future appropriations to meet
such expenditures"

BURKE CONFESSES.
The Winnipeg Suspect Said to Have Made
aClean Breast of the Affair.

WINNIPEG. Man. June 19.-Burke, the
young lrishman arrested here ON suspicion
of being one Of DIR. Cronin's murderers, is
reported to have made 4 clean breast of
the whole affair to the Winnipeg chief of
police. Burke has been extremely nervous
since his capture and has now broken
down entirely. The chief refuses to tell
anything about the confession until be has
consulted Chicago official who is now on
the way here to take charge of the pris-
oner. II is known positively that Burke
has offered to return without being extra
dited If allowed to turn states evidence.
He was brought before a magistrate yes
terday morning and remanded till Satur-
day.
BURKE INDICTED.
CHICAGO, June 19.-The special grand
jury in the Cronin case gave its first indi-
cation Of results at noon today in the
shape of an indictment against Martin
Burke on two counts. Burke alias Delan-
ey, otherwise called Frank Williams. is
Indicted first for murder and secondly
for conspiracy with Coughlin, P. o. Sulli-
van and Woodruff for the purpose of
committing murder Application will at
who is now in Springfield for requisition
papers for the eXtradition of Burke.
These papers properly attested will be
spread before the state department at
Washington and the secretary of the
state viii make formal request TO the
Canadian government for the surrender
and extradition of Burke.
The latter Is now in the custody of the
chief of police at Winnipeg, Man
and Chicago officers and persons have
been dispatched to the scene to further
identify him.
1t was with reluctance that the grand
jury this morning returned an indictment
against Burke, and had his partial identi-
fication by photograph been the only evil
dence against him it is safe to say that the
request of Chief Hubbard and States At
torney Longenecker would have been ig-
nored and an Indictment denied until the
Chicago people had proceeded to Winni-
peg and clearly identified the prisoner as
one of the Williams brothers The testi-
mony of Michael Gavin. Of the Chicago
sewer department., who has known Burke,
was very conclusive, however, and it was
upon his evidence that the indictment was
returned. Gavin testified that he had
known Burke for long time: that he had
frequently heard the latter boast of his
friendship with p. .. Sullivan and others
of the suspected parties and that on one
occasion Burke had expressed his convic-
ton that Cronin was an enemy If not a
traitor to the Irish cause.
CHICAGO, H., June 1S.-Bookkeeper
Throckmorton. Expressman Martinsen and
Salesman Hatfield arrived from New York
this morning. They went TO New York for
the purpose of identifying Maroney and
Mcdonald but failed

graph of Burke now in custody AT Winni =
peg as that OF the man who hired him to
haul the furniture from III Clark street 10

THE CONSULTATIONS SAFE.

NORFOLK, Va, June 19-The United
States practice ship Constellation. which

and stranded in Chesapeake bay near Cape
Henry yesterday afternoon, arrived at the
Norfolk navy yard this evening at z
o'clock this morning with the wrecking
steamer Victoria j. Peed which had gone
from Norfolk to the rescue.
1t was a narrow escape, for, If the storm
of yesterday afternoon had not Gained
to a gentle breeze during the early part Of
the night, the ship would now be a
wreck. All on board are well and there
are no thrilling experiences of the adven-
ture to relate The cadets, however, have
had lesson in seamanship and fore
taste of what sailors life means. 1t was
during dense fog when the ship ground
