THE GROWN MYSTERY SOLVED.
 Says He Left Chicago Because His
 Life Was In Danger-He VIII Make
 Some Astounding Disclosures.
 CHICAGO, May 12.-Dr. Cronin, whose disappearance caused such a sensation, has turned up in Toronto. He said he arrived in Montreal last Monday with the intention of sailing for France, but learning that no vessel left which would take him there he went to Toronto. Being pressed for his reason for leaving Chicago he told the following story:
 "While I lived in St. Louis promptly identified myself with ths Irish cause then disturbing the public. I soon found that the great Irish movement was to be centered either at Chicago or New York, and after consulting my intimate friends, among whom was Dr. O'Reilly, made up my mind to go to Chicago. did so armed with letters of introduction and soon found myself promi- nent in Irish as well as other circles"
 He then went on to say that he soon dis. covered that the large quantities of money being received by certain persons for the Irish cause were not handled properly and then not more than three~qusrtsrs of it ever reached Ireland.
 ssI know" he said, 'tthat at least S85, 1000 was gobbled up by certain persons in Chicago and when began to call the turn on them they tried to bribe me. That would not work. I have been warned several times to get out of the country and assured that my life was in danger. Rut up to last Saturday I felt could hold my own. Last Saturday, however, I was put in possession of unques- tionable proof that the Clan na- Gael society had decided that my life should be taken. A man was appointed as my exeeutioner and were in active progress to ac- complish the deed. Enough to say made up my mind at once to fly. You know the rest"
 When asked what move he intended mak- ing next, the doctor stated that he would go 10 France as soon as possible. 1T left some important documents behind in Chicago" |" he said, :'snd only hope can get to country where will be safe; then I will make some disclosures which will open the eyes of the public generally and make the hair stand on the heads of several Chicago and New York gentlemen"

Fire on Board tke Rueta,

PLYMOUTH, May 12.-The Hamburg American liner Rugia, which arrived at 3 p. m. to-day, reports that the cotton in her af- ter hold was spontaneously ignited on the night of the Sth. The fire burned fercely, but was quenched after five anxious hours, during which all was in readiness to abandon her. One hundred and thirty bales were thrown over. Great excitement prevailed. Through the efforts to extinguish the fire the cabins were flooded and the luggage was spoiled. Much praise is given the captain and crew for their exertions. Two of the cargo is greatly damaged.
 After the fire had gained considerable headway some of those on board made prep arations to desert the ship, but were prevented from doing 30 by the captain who threatened them with revolver. When the iron bulk head doors were opened the heat became so intense that many persons were scorched and the cotton bales around the passengers lug gage took fire. Casks of lard, which formed part of the vessels cargo, also furnished fuel for the flames.
 Hope had been well-nigh abandoned and boats had been lowered to leave the threat ened steamer when it occurred to the captain to try steam instead of water against the fire. This plan was put into execution and proved successful. The passengers have presented the captain with an address and the crew with various gifts as evidences of gratitude and esteem for their heroic work in the most awful dangers that encom- passed them all

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 As Spring advances 1t is astonishing to see the number of children and maids with baby carriages that eongregate daily in pleasant weather on the new Green. The trees are leafing out finely, the grass is lock- ing well owing to the recent rain and the efficient care of the superintendent of parks. Even the pet animal creatures gambol over the fine sward, much to the delight of the people. Truly public parks are public blessing.
 But why MT. Editor is the drinking foun- tain in the center of the Green still closed. The season is we'll advanced, we have had some very warm weather and still the foun- tain is not uncovered. The square is filled with children and these warm days they sigh for draught of cool water. Open the fountain. Oh City Fathers.

He would be content, he said, if he made ',good second" to MT. Waller. Waller, whom, he said, he admired for every thing except his politics. Mir. Waller made a humorous reply in which he attributed his recall to MT. News political management in Indiana. "God forgive him." he added.

The Samoan Conference.

khe BAmO8m SOM1eTehces
 LONDON, May t2.-The Berlin correspond ent of the News says the Samoan conference has agreed that a neutral zone shall be crs- ated at Apia, and equal rights be granted to all the powers with regard to customs.
 The Times says: The Samoan conference has come to an agreement in regard to the land commission. It's side issues also to the restrictions on the sale of firearms and spir- its to the natives. The election of king will be left to the Ssmoans. It is doubtful if Germany will yield so easily the tripartite principle of government, as in the council England shows no leaning, playing the part of an honest broker.
 THE CHARLBsTON's TRIAL TRIP. She Attains a Speed of Eighteen ana a
 Quarter Knots and Develops $500 Horse Power-One of the Fastest War
 Vessels Ahoat-TrOuble With the
 Starboard Engines.
 SANTA BARBARA, Cal, May 1.-The cruiser Charleston left port this morning. steaming south for sixty miles and turning north again went ahead under full head of steam, making an average speed of eighteen and quarter knots, whith development of $500 horse power and 107 revolutions of her
 
 a period of F minutes and after careful examinations by the govern- ment engineers and other officers on board. This is the first time that the official record has been taken of her speed in conneo tion with her high power development and establishes the fact that as the Charleston stands she is one of the fastest modern fighting machines aaoat, not only of her type but inclusive of the entire class of cruisers in the American or foreign navies. The star board slide, which developed some hard spots in the steel on the trip out, and which it was hoped had been eliminated, compelled the starboard engines to lower speed and the highest development of steam power for four hours was therefore impossible. The port engine continued at full speed for more than an hour and behaved perfectly but was allowed to decrease to ninety revolutions under which speed both engines were driven till the ship had returned to her anchorage off this port to-ng ht. There is a feeling of disappointment among the representatives of the Union Iron works. On the other hand the naval officers are uni form in their confidence and pride in the Charleston and say she will easily attain more than nineteen knots when permitted to employ her full power. Chief Engineer Wilson in speaking of the ships exploit, re- marked:
 There was not a crank pin bearing or journal warm, and this has never in my ex- perience been equalled. There was not 8 tendency to heat shown by either main or thrust bearings. Once the minor difficult ties developed to-day are remedied the cruis- CTS bids fair to equal 120 revolutions to the minute with consecutive speed, ex- ceeding 19 knots. To my view she promi- ses to be one of the fastest ships of her class afoat. The expressions made by other naval officers is of the same compli- mentary and confident character. It is ex- pected the Charleston will leave port early tomorrow and will probably run notth, but beyond this no announcement has been made.
