In the original letters and he confirms Al
that Is claimed. He further agrees with the
original writer that the country is ON the
verge of great revolution inthe production
and manufacture of fax. Considerable in
terest is shown IN the correspondence in the
success, and the experiment Of growing fax
more abundantly as a solution of the dlia-
culties and burdens which it il said are
forced upon the farmers of the northwest by
the Irvine trust. The letter says that the
price of twine has been increased BY the
trust until it costs the farmer a bushel of
oats for every pound of Irvine and they are
clamoring for relief. In Michigan the leg
lslature appointed committee to invessi-
gate and report on the excellence of intro
ducing manufacture of Irvine in the pris-
ons as a means of relief, but their inquiry

the corner of the trust extend to the raw
material itself, and the department. is con-

Pension Payments.

WAsMmaroN, D. c., May 1.-THE pen-
sion appropriation act for the current fiscal
year appropriated SO. 100000 for the pay
ment of pensions and $8OOO,O 600 was also
appropriated for the same purpose to meet
threatened deficiency, making the total
appropriations $88, 100000. This whole
amount viii be necessary to meet the de-
mands OF pensioners, and it may BE- that
there will be deficiency, but it is said at
the pension Office that there is no truth in
the statement that $40, 000, COO will be ex-
pended for pensions during the fiscal year.
vision of the pension Office, who is intrusted
with the duty of seeing to the expenditure
of pension appropriations, says that it Is true
that the $SS.4O0,O00 appropriated for pen
sions has all been drawn from the treasury,
but that more than SIG, O0O, 600 of the amount
drawn out is in the hands of the sixteen United
States pension agents with which to meet
quarterly payments of pensions which fall
due on the 4th of next month. 1t is thought
that this amount will nearly suffice until
July l, when the appropriation for the next
fiscal year will become available, though, it
is said that some of the agents may run out
before that time. Mr.. Bell says that the
appropriation for the next fiscal year. $780,
4OO, 600, is too small and that there will be
deficiency of about SIS, 100000.
Ex-Commissioner Black, he says, did not
ask for enough money to prevent deficiency

KANSAS WANTS THEM.

Some Of Kansas City's Grain Men
May Cross the kaW.
KANSAS CITY. NO.. May A.-The war of
factions among the Kansas City grain men
has taken another turn and it now looks as
though the elevator men will retreat across
the Kansas border and thus escape the pro-
visions of the proposed inspection law.
R. w. HilGker, president to the Kansas
City, Kan, board of trade, and large dele
egation called upon several of the grain
men, members of the Kansas City Board of
Trad !, and invited them to come over to
Kansas. A meeting will be held to deter
mine what shall be done. The feeling
among the elevator men is that the law will
SPOIL their business, and that Kansas is the
next best move to make. Those on the
other side of the house declare that the gov
ernor cannot do better thing for the grain
business of Kansas City tnan to sign the
bill.

Mr.. O'Brien Indignant.


LONDON, May 25.-Mr. Gladstone was
presented at the session of the Parnen COM
mission.
The cross examination of Mr.. William
O'Brien was continued by Attorney General
Webster.
Mr.. O'Brien declared that United Ireland
his paper, worked according to constitutional
methods, and advocated nothing but peace
full means to attain the end sought BY the
lrish parliamentary party. He admitted
writing an article which had been printed in
United Ireland, in which it was stated that
Queen Victoria was only known in Ireland
BY her scarcely decently disguised hatred of
Ireland, and by her inordinate salary.
He also admitted having written another
article declaring that Earl Spencer would be
the last strong Englishman who would at
tempt to rule Ireland by barbarism, paid
perjury, butchery and the use of the rope.
He admitted the authorship also of an ar
ticle declaring that the chairman of the
committee selected to receive the Prince of
land, would be hunted from public life.
At this point Mr.. O'Brien became excited
and vehemently exclaimed: "Re has been,
and rather than to allow Englishmen to be
deceived by q show of sham loyalty am re-
solved to tell them the truth"
Continuing, Nh. O'Brien said he person.
ally had never spoken disrespectfully or
extensively about the Prince of Wales.
No people, he declared. ever suffered more
for loyalty than Irishmen and none profited
more by their pretensions of loyalty than
the people who oppressed them. If it was
clear that England would not satisfy the
aspirations of Ireland AID if there was any
rational chance of success, an attempt
should be made to rebel.

counties 1t has ranged below. the greatest
deficiency occurring Oh the Goth and oath.
Over the state there has been q large per

The seeming damage to wheat and oats
by the severe winds of the 4th, 9Th and 9Th
in Harvey and Butler is about all repaired
by seasonab!e rains and generally favorable
weather since. Over the state generally thel
crops are reported in q fourishing condi-
ton. The very favorable weather of the
past week has brought all vegetation we'll
forward except in the extreme west and
southwest, in which sections rain is much'
needed. I;
The heavy rams caused washouts on somej
of the railroads, delaying trains. In John-'

hundredths of rain fell in ten minutes. In;
Clay, on the river bottoms, the water re-;

The Object of the League.

The Object Of the League.
LONDON, May 25.-William O'Brien con-
tinued his testimony before the Parnell
commission.
The league, he said, was founded chiefly to
oppose secret landlord combinations. The
landlords had formed combination having
a nominal capital of $5,OOO.OO0 for the pur-
pose of Carrying out evictions by the whole
sale, and replacing the evicted tenants
with colonies of tenants from other coun-
tries.
He had been me Der of the committee
of the league since its organization, and had
never heard suggestion to encourage out
rage. The witness did not consider boycott
ting unconstitutional. 1t was simply Irish
for black-balling.

CHICAGO, Ill May A-Ths dead body OF
Dr.. p. n. Cronin, tie Irish American, who
strangely disappeared from his home In
Chicago two weeks ago, was found some
distance north of the city in a sewer on Ev-
anston avenue. bloody towel was
wrapped about the head. The rest of the
body was stark naked.
A Catholic emblem which the doctor al
ways wore next his skin suspended about
head were a dozen deep cuts which had
severed the scalp and indented the skull. It
is the op MON of the police that Cronin was
foully murdered and by some man who
could not bring himself to disturb Catholic
trinket.
Much excitement was shown at detective
headquarters when doubt as to the identity
of the body was finally removed by definite
message from Lake View. It was evident
from the expressions of the officials that one
of the first objects of the police will be to
have number of suspicious assertions ex-
planned; assertions made by supposed fri ends
Lieutenant Elliott will have these people
at the inquest and demand an explanation
in full. The detectives clam that they have
been handicapped from the start by Lack
of assistance from those who claimed to know
all concerning the DOCTORS disappearance.
Lieutenant Elliott said soon after the find
ing of the body: 81 will have this informa-
ton now or there will be some arrests"
Wholly accidental circumstances brought
the corpse to light. A gang of laborers in
the employ of the Lake View suburban
government had been cleaning the bitches
along Evanston avenue during the week.
Foreman Roach and two men were working
north of the east side of Evanston avenue,
towards Fifty-ninth street. AS they neared
the catch basin at the corner they noticed a
strong smell of putrefying flesh, and Roach
his spade and uncovered the body of DR.. |
Cronin. 1t had apparently been hastily |
pitched into the basin, for the head was un- !
derneath and the feet and legs were up in |
the opening. The place where the corpse
was discovered is about 300 yards from the |
Argyle park station of the Chicago & Ev- |
anstop branch of the Chicago, Milwaukee & |
st. Paul railway.
The man Woodruff, or Black, who, after |
arrested a fortnight ago, confessed to hav-
ing helped carry off a trunk containing |
corpse of a woman, from barn in the city |
the night of Cronin's disappearance, was |
in Jail. He manifested no sur
prise or discomposure when told the body |
of DIR. Cronin had been found north of |
where the trunk was discovered, but while |
he apparently talked freely about the matter
he seemed careful not to go outside the
story he had originally told. He repeatedly |
said that if he had not been locked up in |
Jail he could and would have cleared up the
trunk mystery before this time.

A BOSTON CRANK.

A Boston Preacher Says Newspa-
perS are Controlled by the Jesu-
ties.
BosToN. MASS, May 25.-Prof. Luther
Townsend, of Boston University, has Gre
ated sensation at the meeting of the Con-
gregatioaal ministers by savage onslaught
upon the press of this country. Dr.. Town
send has been active during the last winter
in the crusade against Catholics that has
been prosecuted in certain quarters here,
and now he turns upon the American news
papers and charges them with being under
Papal domination. Said he: ''The edi-
torial rooms of America and Great Britain
are servilely bound to the Roman Catholic
church. In Boston reports of Protestant
Ole meetings Haunted before the public.
There is not one of the large newspapers of
the city that has not been working almost
constantly in the interests of Romanism
during the several months of the late Protes-
tant-Jesuite controversy. This conspiracy
news and facts to which it is entitled, is q re-
proach to our civilization and deserves the
derision and scorn of all honest men. Those
enslaved publications claim to be newspa-
pers. Why endure their nonsense any
longer, do you ask? Be patient" The speaker
went on to claim that Jesuite inquisitor
sits at the elbow of the reporter and a Jesuit
-metaphorically or really The press is
gagged. "But," said the professor, ''the
sword has been drawn, the scabbard has
been flung to the winds, the bridges have

Illinois, Fears Violence by Strik-
ing Miners.
JOLIET, ILL, May 2S.-The expected
trouble at the Braidwood mines did not oc-
cur as none of the men attempted to go to
work. Some of the strikers threw a couple
of dynamite bombs upon the property of
the Wilmington coal association, which ex-
ploded with loud noise and which startled
the Braidwood people considerably. 1t was
thought an effort was being made by the
strikers to destroy the mines.
the price offered are afraid that if they at
tempt to enter the mines. the desperate
Italians will carry out their threats of setting
fire to the mines. Sheriff Huston has tele-
GRABBED Governor Fifer that the mayor of
Braidwood had called upon him to protect
property and that he had been to Braidwood
and found the situation most critical and
was fearful that he could not preserve the
peace and protect the property and lives
without the aid of the militia. The governor
telegraphed the sheriff that he must
preserve the peace and protect the lives and
property of the miners and operators at all
hazards even to the calling out of the militia.
It is thought that no attempt will be made
to resume work in the mines before Mon
day.
PRINCETON, ILL.,, May 2s-Sheriff Ander-
son has been on guard the last two weeks at
the Slaton mine, a mining town east of here.
Tho city marshal has left with reinforce
ments. A riot is anticipated, as the striking
members of Laselle an Streator have
threatened to close the mines by force. The
coal mines at Slatonville are the only ones
in operation in the northern part of the
state.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, May 2s.-Two miners
who compose committee of the Clay
county miners are here soliciting aid. They
state that the miners are suffering from
want and that the restitution in many of
the families is terrible. Of the 1900 miners
who have gu work rather than submit to
the Is per cent. reduction, hardly one-tenth
have any means to live upon. Many are
leaving the country, but those having fami-
lies are powerless to get away.

GUTHRIE TOWN LOTS.
Startling News From Okla
h0ma, Via Chicago.
Soldiers Take Action toStop a Riot
caused by the Enforcement Of
Oroers OF the City Council to Put
certain Claimants In Possession Of
Lots Claimed.

CHICAGO, May IA dispatch from 0uth-
me- Ok, says: The soldiers were called out
,or the first time since the opening of Okla
noma and for several hours the city of Guth-
ne was practically under martial law. The
meetings held every night for week by the
men who lost their lots through contest and
oy the opening of streets eliminated in q
riot
One of the best lots in Guthrie was award
cd by the board of arbitration to a man
named Driscoll, of Chicago. An old man
by the name of Diemer, of Kansas, occupied
the front of the same lot with a tent. Dris-
coll erected building on rollers ready to
shove it to the front as soon as Dlemer
should vacate. Recently the council passed
an ordinance empowering the marshal to
eject every person whose claim for q lot had
been rejected by the arbitration board. This
proceeding would affact over a thousand
persons.
:, The city government made test case of
the Driscon- Diemer contest. The marshal
proceeded to remove Diemer and his tent.
Immediately q mob of LOO men collected
and drove the marshal away. The mob
was about to attack the city hall when Cap
tam Cavanaugh arrived upon the scene and
dispersed them, after which the city author
tiles resumed the work of ejecting Diemer.
Demer fought like tiger and had to be
dragged from his tent to the street. Dris-
coils building was rolled forward. The
mob attempted 10 tear the house to pieces,
but this time the authorities were able to re-
pulse the angry men without the aid of sol
dlers. Last night soldiers guarded the prin-
cipal streets and more trouble is anticipated
when the work of election is begun.

The present council, the inspector reports,
has created Offices with out stint, with large
pay; it is levying and collecting occupation

money, giving no account of collections or
expenditures.

A Vigorous Protest.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, May M.-When the
Postlewait grain Inspection bill was taken
up to be signed by the president of the sem
ate, Senators McGrath, McGinnis, Kerwin,
Miller and Headlee joined in sworn pro-
test against the signing of the bill, on the
grounds that the bill was not, as provided
in section 26, article 4, of the constitution,
read on three different days, nor read at any
time or day in the senate; that the bill con-
tains more than one subject, and that the
subject of the bill is not clearly expressed in
the title"
The bill was signed, ell the same, and sent
to tho governor for his signature. This &C
ton on the part of the opponents of the bill
is looked upon as an Indication that the
grain men in the cities intend to fight the
law in the courts if the governor signs it.
