TURNED TO ASHES.

Young Mrs. Blaine s Hopes to Win Fortune
INV svn4.i 'oeP VJaz.-,~-
nounced that the theatrical tour of Mrs.
James G. Blaine, Jr., so carefully prepared
for, is poltponed until January on account
of her illness. The fsct is that it has been
abandoned sltogether. Acquaintance ssy
that she is i'll with disappointment. There
are several reasons for the faeco. First,
the uncertainty Of the venture. A new
play is risky, nsw actTess ls riskier, and
the combination makes extreme peril for
the capital invested.
The manager who had young Mrs.
Blaine trained for the essay, and who laid
out the tour, was not to endanger his own
money. Others were to capitalize the
business, aud lately they have lost courage.
It is conjecturtd that they have lost faith
in the young lady's histrionic abilities.
She is pretty and stylish, she has a
thorough schooling aud possesses sufficient
courage, but when it came to a trial
demonstration CT her acting power it ia
said that one or more Of the hackers was
scared Out OF the business.

KUNZE AND C00NEY.
TBB TWO MYSTERIOUS SUSPECTS WERE
ARRESTED
And Released BY a Lake View Police Oapain-A
New Story Of The Cronin Nurder-Pahla
Efforts 10 Get a
Jury.

CHICAGO, September st seems that
although a great deal of matter has been
published about tie CrOnin murder, the
true story Of the discovery Of evidence at
the Carlson cottage has never been told
uuhl nov. It is also singular that the
reporters who were working on the case
never discovered that on the night of May
z, three days after Dr.. Cronin was killed,
two men, now supposed to have been
Kupz and COOney, were arrested and taken
to the Lakeview station and discharged in
the morning by Captain Wing The cf6-
Ger who made the arrest to-day told his
story. His name is Isaac Robinson, and
was policeman on the beat on which the
Carbon cottage issituated. be frequently
a8BSsa, IgPtS@ jiu hRd biPkjag, wiivg gsfd
be bad rented it to two men, who tre-
quenUy slept in it.
SAW BURKE IN THE COTTAGE.
On the night Of May G, however, Robin
son saw man crawling out Of the base
ment Of the cottage and acoosted him.
Robinson has never seen Burke, but ne
believes that Burke was the man who
talked with him that evening. He Baid
that he and his brother we're renting the
cotisge and that he had been in the base
ment simply 70 see if there WAS not a coed
piacs there to store some old furniture.
Robinson was not satisfied with the expla
naticn, but he did not think he was war
ranted in arressing the man. At g O'Clock
me next night, May z, Robinson turned
the corner Of Roscoe street and came upon
two men who were talking together ia the
shadow Of o little real estate Office, 100 feet
south Of the Carlson cottage. They had
the door Of the Office open and were talking
about hiding something under the f)Or.
Robinson accosted them; one OF them was
short sud.spOke English with a decided
Germsn scent. The other was tall, wore
a dark mustache, and was an Irishman.
ARRESTED THE TWO.
They madeno satisfactory explanation,
and Robinson determined to arrest them.
Just then a man came running from the
Carlson cottage, and asked Robinson wha.
he was going to do with the men. Robin
son recognized him as the man whom he
believed to be Burke. He took the men
70 the station house, and Captain Wing
questioned aud released them the next
day. He said to Robinson: "What is the
use Of sending them to Bridewell TO cost
the city % ceat3 dayr'
Robinson now believes that the two
men were
KUN AND COONRY.
Two nights later Robinson saw OHe Of
these men coming out Of the Carlson c)t-
tsge after midnight, but as he considered
that he had been rebuked By Captain
Wing. did not arrest him.

SEARLE THE VICTOR.
THE AUSTRALIAN WINS THE WORLDS
CHAMPIONSHIP.
DE Beats 00Onnor IN a Magnificent Raca on The
Thamss-Fast Tine Made by Both Men.
Fortunes Wss Staksd Oh the
Contest

LONDON, September 9.-The great inter
national aculling race for the championship
Of the world was Ioged TO day, and Henry
Searle, of Australia, defeated VIM. O'Con.
nor, of Canada, after a magnificent contest.
Searle'stime, % AZ. was very fast, bat both
men rOwed msgnifeently. The race was for
thousand pound stake. Searle won the
choice of position and choae the Surrey
side.
There were Occaaional squalls Of wind
during the progress of the race and Off
Surrey the water vas slightly iumpy.
Otherwise the conditions we're good. The
sun was shining. The betting during the
forenoon was virtd,Ily . s4FFii5a 4FFiiaollv '"H
"dd7GeS9Ee5a5 te1o AT THE START.
The start was mase py mutual consent
at 1:23, with O'COnn0T rowing at terrific
rate. Soon after the start O'ConrOr caught
a crab and Searle overlook him and gained
the lead. Searle as rowing splendidly,
but slowed up beyond Wsldins. Searle
apparently without effort, aud rowing 80
strokes per minute, gained half length,
which he gradually Increased. O'ConnOr
fcequently and aDxiously looked over mis-
shoulder at his opponent. When Ham
mersmith bridge wss reached O'COnnOr ap-
pesred to be a trds distressed. at the
Thorny CrOf6 iron works, both men were
pulling in good form, A hssty head-wind
was blowing, but the water in Chiswick
reach wss not affected. Here Searle was
three ler gths ahead. From Chiswick
point, the race was a procession.
THE CANADIAN IN POOR FORM.
O'Connor rowed splendidiy throughout
the race. he seemed TO have been over
trained, however, for after the first mile
had been rowed he tired away very quick
ly. The course wss we'll kept. The at
tendance Of spectators wss large for pro

WICKED BUTCHERS.
Kansas Cattle Rsisers Declare That There

Kansas Cattle Rsisers Declare That There
isa Dressed Beef Combine.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, September 9.-The
dressed beef Senatorial Investigation Com
mittee began it's labors here this morning.
The first two witnesses called before it,
we're ext Governor Clyck, of Kansas, and
Charles Dursta, q butcher Of Atchison.
Mr.. Clyck testified that he had been in
the cattle grazing business for 30 years, in
which time the price Of cattle had de-
creased between 80 and 40 per cent. The
dressed beef men formed a combination
which refused to pay the
market price for cattle and
steadily bore down prices until many cattle
raisers have been forced 10 quit the busi-
ness. It made 10 difference whether the
cattle were sold in Kansas City or Chicago
the combine had control of the market at
both places. He testified that the combi-
nation bad almost ruined the butcher
business in Atcbinsoa. It bought cattle at
Atchinson, brought them to Kansas City,
killed them and sen. tie dressed beef bsck
to AtchiDson cheaper than the Atkinson
butchers could sell it. Mt. Dursta's t6st.-
mony was entirely ccrroboratiye of Mr
Clycks.

A ADIseUsrED JUDGE
InIolned to Hasten the Selection of the
CrOnin Jury.

AnlNina4 10 nhaNen AAo SEAoNAAoA "a Na'N
CrOnin Jury.
CHICAGO, September 9.-Tte weary
work Of finding a jury for the CrOnin trial
was r,sumed before Judge Mcconnell this
morning, and from a ruling soon after the
examination Of tslesmen was begun, it
would appear that the Court is disposed to
accelerate the work. Henry Sweet said
he had expressed an opinion, and the de-
feuss challenged him for cause. The
Judge asked Sweet if he was able to give
The prisoners fair and impartial trial.
He said he was, and the challenge was
overruled. The defense then challenged
him peremptorily. The same thing hap
pened in the case OF another Juror. At this
rate the peremplOry challenges will soon
be exhausted, and a Jury can be formed.
Several jurors we're treated in this way,
ard Judge Mcconnell then addressed the
counsel, stating that, as he understood the
law. where an ideal OF perfect jury could
not be secured, the Court had 10 take the
next beet Jury, 20 long as it was legal.
He had been extremely liberal to the de-
Tense in his rulings, but hereafter on this
point such extreme hberality could not be
allowed.

LONDON, ptsmber 9-The amount of

enormous. Heavy purses we're cabled
from Canada and Australia to be staked
for the friends Of the respective cham
pions, Spencer Brothers, of Australia,
placing 10000 pounds on Searle. Both
men were in splendid form. Searle
weighed 163 aud O'CO0nor 162, and their
preliminary spurts on the river indicated
that they were evenly matched in all re-
spects.
O'Connor Wss believed both by his par
tisans and the friends of Searle to be under
handicap. He was not accustomed TO
start by mutual consent, but has been
used to forging ahead It pistol shot or by
word nom the referee, this in many cases
enabling him to hold the lead TO the finish.
Besides, O'Connor is unused to tidewater,
as Searle is. The tide to-day was nearly
slack, but it still ran at the rate of three
miles an hour, CROUCH to affect the rowing
of one accustomed to still water.
