SOME IRISH THUGS.

New York, May 25th.-J. P. Ryan, ex-
President of the Irish National League,
SAYS: 4"Cronins murderers were unques-
tionalsly Irishmen, but / don't believe that
nv oIganization decreed his death. There
are, unfortunately, some Irish thugs, and
still more unfortunately, a few Irish scoun-
drels Of higher grade without conscience or
moral principle
THE PLOT DATED BACK THREE MONTHS.
Events were brought to light this even
ing showing that the arrangements Tor the
Cronin tragedy were apparently begun as
early as February ist. At that date per-
son corresponding to the description of
man who subsequently rented the Carlson
cottage opened negotiations for room d.
recty across the street from Cronin's office
down town in the Opera House block. The
room sought for was one which offered the
best possible view from that direction into
Cronin's office windows. In order to get
the room it was necessary to rent the whole
floor, the agents for the building refusing
TO dea; for single apartment. The whole
floor was rented, and in the room referred
to was placed furniture similar to that
found in the cottage. The furniture was
removed about March 10Th, just the date
when she furniture was brought first to the
cottage.
WHERE THE FURNITURE WAS BOUGHT.
This furniture, it has become well known,
was purchased of A. H. Revell &, Co., but
until this evening it was not learned that
the bill of goods bought from Revell in
cluded the identical trunk which has
since cut such figure in the case.
The purchaser insisted on having an
extra heavy strap to go with the trunk,
and though an unusually thick strap was
furnished he afterwards returned and got
in place of the original strap one made to
order. I The man volunteered the informa-
ton that the heavy strap furnished first
would not be sufficient to hold what he
proposed to place in the trunk.
HE WANTED POINTERS.

CROOKED BANK OFFICIALS.
New Haven Has a Sensation in Business
Circles

New Haven Has Sensation in Business
Circles.
New HAVEN Conn J, May 25th.-The
officials of the Merchants National Bank
are still reticent, and positively decline to
give out the names of the merchants who
have benefited by the dishonest not dis
counting practices. This action has ere.
ated an impression that they are shielding
some prominent business men who have
been in collision with Cashier Bradley and
Teller Palmer. The bauk officials now
admit the loss will be fully $4,000 and
may possibly eat up their entire surplus of
100000.
A feeling is spreading that the bank is
crippled worse than it cares to acknowl-
edge. nth the exception of ST. 600 worth
of notes, discounted by. John E. Bassett,
hardware merchant, the public is at sea as
to who have been benefited by the crooked
work. As the result of action by the
United States authorities, Bassett was ar
rested this afternoon, charged with aiding
and abetting Palmer in the enlightenment
of the banks funds Bail was fixed at
$50, 900, which was furnished. When Bas-
sett returned to his store he found the
Sheriff in waiting, who attached the store,
stock and real estate to the amount of $50
600, at the instance of the bank The Mar
shall next arrested Cashier Bradley and
Teller Palmer, for fraudulent statements
made to Controller Teller.

HUMBERT's HOBNOBBING.
Part of His Programme Abandoned for
Prudential Reasons,

BERLIN, May 25th. King Humbert's
projected visit to Strasburg was abandoned
after the Italian Embassy received tele-
grams from Paris reporting disturbance
in the public mind. The arrangements at
Strasburg included a review OF the garri-
son and night attack upon the citadel
After Signor Crispi had referred the matter
to Bismarck it was announced that King
Humbert would not visit Strasburg, but
would keep on the Baden side of the Rhine
on his homeward journey.
The revision of the treaty agreed upon
during the Kings visit has not yet received
the adhesion of Austria. Associated with
the treaty is the Military Convention, fix
ing definite plan for the mobilization of
the Italian army in the event of war.
Signor Crispi wanted an entente on the
question of the Papacy. Prince Bismarck
obtained from Signor Crispi a pledge for a
moderate internal policy toward the Vati-
can, and has asked the Austrian Prime
Minister to join in united pressure with
the Pope to make peace with the Quirinal.
IL is understood that Emperor Francis 10.
seph reluctantly allowed Count Kalnoky
to intervene in the matter, and that the
Pope, on receiving private assurances of
the a ustrian Emperor's sympathy,
promptly rejected the overtures.
Lie ItNlSIOH Vi the treaty Will
remain unsigned until Emperor Francis
Joseph and Count Kalnoky pay their ex-
pected visit here.
The Italian Generals, Rolands and Sironi,
remain in Berlin to settle the details of the
Military Convention with the War Office.
Adverse rumors go the length of assert
ing that the difference with Austria is
leading to rupture of the alliance,
Emperor Francis Joseph inclining to regu.
late the Balkan question in conjunction
with Russia. Official circles absolutely
deny that rupture is within the range of
probability.
King Humbert, in letter of thanks to
the people of Berlin for the splendid recep-
ton accorded him, sends gift of 10000
marks for charitable objects.
At 8 o'clock this evening the Emperor
and King Hunibe-t witnessed grand mill
tary tattoo by 1000 performers in front of
the castle. The Lustgarten was illumin-
ated with bengal lights. The display was
witnessed by enthusiastic crowds of peo-
pie, who gave the King an ovation. The
departure of King Humbert has been post
poned until tomorrow.
The members of the Reichstag gave
banquet at Keiserhof this evening in honor
of Premier Crispi. In the toasts loyal
references were made to the alliance be-
tween Italy and Germany. Premier Crispi
declared that Italy, though prepared for
war only desired peace

Satisfactory Results of the Samoan Con-
ference at Berlin.

ference at Berlin.
BERLIN, May 25th.-Sir Edward Malet,
Mr.. Kasson and Herr Holstein, as the Com
mittee on Revision, completed to-day a
draft of the protocol concerning the
Samoan question. 1t contains clauses re-
lating 10 the municipal government of
Apia, eoaling points held by the powers.
the Land Commission, and THE autonomy
of the Samoan Government, the text of
which has already been cabled 10 Wash
ington and approved by Blaine.
The remaining clauses, containing the
tariff of Samoa, the Constitution of the ma
tive Government, and the limitation of
German claims for indemnity from the ma
tiyes has been framed in conSonance with
instructions from Blaine, who is in daily
cable communication with the Commits
sion. Nothing, therefore, ought, in the
opinion of the delegates, to prevent the
winding up of the conference on Tuesday,
when business is expected to be limited to
the exchange of signatures to agreements.
The success of the Commission and the
rapidity with which business was got
through was partly due to the conciliating
attitude of Herbert Bismarck, the impartial
policy displayed by Sir Edward Malet and
largely TO the American Commission hav-
ing definite instructions covering every
point.
The constant hard work of the sub-com-
mittees marvelously expedited matters,
the conference having little to do further
than TO hear reports. Throughout no en-
barrassing developments have retarded the
progress of the deliberations.
When the conference began it was an
nounced that the Foreign Once was conf
dent that the sessions would terminate in
the first week in June.
Following the example of its chiefs,
the German official world treats the
American Commissioners with high
favor. If they respond to their invitations
they would find their hardest work in the
deception.
Count Herbert Bismarck gave conspicu-
Gus emphasis to his friendly footing with
each of the Commissioners by his greeting
at the Tempelhofer parade, when he left
the parade to converse with each Commits
sioner, riding between the carriages of
Kassen and Bates and Phelps and ex-
changing cordial words with them.

More Trouble Among the Striking West.
nhalia Minars.

BERLIN, May 25th.-The situation at the
Westphalia collieries continues critical.
According to Rhenish papers proclama-
ton of martial law is imminent. Hitherto.
miners have held aloof from Socialists and
have resented their approaches, but now
there are symptoms of Impotence under
the passive resistance of the masters.
Herr Weber, President of the Bachum
Strike Committee, was arrested after max
ing a speech last night in which occurred
the phrase: War against capital; victory
or death is acclaimed
Miners in several pits in Bachum, Gelin-
kirschew. and Aschen will go on the strike
again, having failed to get the assent of the
owners at Dortmund to concessions de-
manded.
Other strikes grow. Six thousand
masons in Berlin who resumed work under
the belief that employers would grant their
demands, will strike again ON Monday.
Nineteen thousand men employed in the
building trades are now out here.
