! RIDlCuLES The IDEA.

KANSAS CITY. May 27.-Michael Boland,
recorder of the police court of Kansas City,
admitted today that he was the member
of the triumvirate of the Chan-na-Gael
against whom DR.. Cronin preferred charges
of misapplication of funds in 1888. Re-
corder Boland said the charges were false,
and ridiculed the idea that the Chan-na-
Gael was directly or indirectly responsible
for the murder of DR.. CroIfn. saying:
"Cronin had already made the charges
and they were on record, and what was to
be gained by getting rid of him? believe
the police of Chicago are putting this So
ciety phase on the case so as to cover up
the tracks of the real assassins, or to divert
attention from his own carelessness."

mission he was ordered to state
the names of the spies. He said he dared
not do it, because If they were known they
would be murdered, Presiding Justice
Harmon then took him into closed ante
room and in the presence of Mr.. Richard
Webster the attorney general, who is con-
Quoting the prosecution, and Sir Charles
Russell, ParnelPs attorney, Lecard re-
vealed the names. Within forty-eight
hours after the news was cabled from Eu-
rope, nearly every Clan-na-guel camp in
America had met and passed resolutions
declaring in favor of rigid hunt for the
four spies. The finger of suspicion, justly
or unJustly, was pointed among others, at
Cronin. A committee was appointed to
try him. He was convicted without being
given a chance to make defense, and his
assassins were brought here from outside
points to carry out the mandate OF the
committee. The latter was chosen by Sc
cret ballot.
1t is claimed that the murder conspiracy
would not have ended with DR. Cronin,
had not his body been found so opportune-
" in the Evanston avenue man hole.
There were other Irishmen on the eXecu-
ton list, and they would have all shared
Cronin's fate had the chance to dispose of
them safely arisen. 1t is claimed that w.
j. Hynes an attorney, prominent Cath
Ole clergyman, Captain Daniel Gleason,
Captain J. P. O'Connor, John Dewey and
one or two others, had been tried and con-
victed of certain charges and orders for
their removal signed In the cases of
Hypes and Dewey, it was alleged that they
were careless in letting Lecaron move
away with the Clan-na-Gael records, which
formed the basis of his testimony before
the Parnell commission. Lecaron, HyneS
and Dewey were the recognized leaders OF
the order, and to them was entrusted the
care Of all its records.
For time suspicion pointed at Hynes
and Dewey, and. though they clearly es-
tablished their innocence, removal was
ordered as warning to future generations
of officers

ONE OF THE SPIES.
Dr. Oronin's Murder Claimed to be Due to
TreaohsrY to the Irish Cause.

CHICAGO, May 27.-The following sensa-
ton item is published here this morning:
The police have been put in possession of
facts which if true are far more startling
than was ever expected concerning DR..
Cronin's murder. It has been clearly
shown by the dead mans friends that his
removal was ordered by committee in
some way representing the Clan-na-Gael
Society. Charges of trsitorous conduct
were preferred against him and at meet
of a Clan-na-Gael camp he WAS found
guilty and hts removal was ordered The
charge was based on the statement OF the
British spy, Lacaron, that there were four
more spies in America. When L.acaron
made that statement on the
stand before the Parnell COM

THE HILLMAN INSURANCE CASE.
Hillman Said to Have Been Arrested il
Arizona.

LAWRENCE, Kan, 27.-A telegram was
received here to-day giving the news of the
arrest, at Tom bstone, Arizona. Of John II.
Hillman, who disappeared nine years ago,
Hillman's life was insured for $40, 900, and
after long litigation his wife was
awarded S37 900. The dead body
of man was brought to Lawrence from
the Indian Territory several years ago and
was identified by number of persons as
Hlllman. Mrs. Hillman had the body iu-
tered as that Of her husband, but the in
surance companies concluded that Hillman
man was still alive. The man
arrested to-day will be brought to
Lawrence and the case re-opened.

CONCERNING MCGEEHAN.

CHICAGO, May 27.-The police claim
that the chain of circumstantial evidence
tending to show that he was concerned in
the assassination of DR.. Cronin is tighten
ing around Peter Mcclellan, the Philadel-
phian, now under arrest in the city. This
morning the real estate agent who leased
the room on Clark street, opposite DR..
Cronin's Office, identified him as the man
who rented it. The police further say
that Mcclellan was missing from the
room in McCoy's hotel on the night of the
murder and it was because he could not
give a satisfactorily account of himself on
that night that he was arrested. In the
afternoon of the same day Mr. L. t. Conk-
lin hurried down to Pinkerton agency and
had talk with superintendent Murray.
He told the detectives that DR.. Cronin
had been warned by friends that MCGEE
han had told three or four people that he
was going to remove DR.. CIonin. DR.. Gro
min was not acquainted with McGeehan,
but friend pointed him out on Clark
street one day. With his characteristic
impetuosity DR.. Cronin marched up to the
fellow and slapping him on the shoulders
said: "McGeehan, | understand that you
have threat ned to kill mel believe my
friends" cts a lie," replied Mcclellan,
and marched off.
A morning paper charges that Cronin
was murdered by members of the Clan-na
Gael because he was suspected Of being an
English spy. Peter Mcclellan, the Phila-
delphian now under arrest, has been
identified by real estate agent as the
man who leased the rooms opposite Dr.
Cronin's office on Clark street. Harry
Jordan, also of Philadelphia, said TO have
been an intimate friend of McGeehan, is
also in custody. The report that Tierney,
one Of the employees Of Sullivan, the ice
man. had disappeared, is denied in a late
edition of the Evening News, which as
serts that one Of its reporters saw and had
a talk with him. The man w. L. King,
who is under arrest, does not answer the
description of the man of that name who
Woodruff says took part in the removal
of the trunk from barn on the night of
Dr. Cronln's disappearance, and though
he Is something of sport and has con-
sorted with disreputable persons the po-
lice do not believe that he is the man
wanted. They viii hold him for day or
two, however, pending developments.
Detective Dillon, who came from Phila-
delphia to assist in ferreting out the muir
derers Of DR.. Cronin, says that he has re-
ceived a letter saying that the Clan-na-
Gael of Philadelphia had sent him 81 900
to forward the work. All sorts of rumors
Of developments and arrests were flying
around today, but owing to the extreme
reticence of the police it is next to impCs-
Sible to confirm or disprove them.

TEARS.

A pretty little story comes from
Washington. The other day Secretary
Noble was found by a visitor in tears.
Surprised at the spectacle, the visitor
sought to withdraw, but the Secretary
called him back. Then he told how a
few moments before he had been waited
upon by an old, WORKOUT and somewhat
dilapidated man. He was sick, feeble,
and evidently very poor. He wore a
Army badge. He said he came to
see the Secretary to get his signature to
a petition to have him appointed Post.
master Of bis little town in Missouri,
worth about $500 a year. The veteran
related his struggles with poverty, his
i'll. luck, his poor health, and how much
he needed that little place. And, when
he mentioned his name, Secretary Noble
gave q start, and took the veterans
hand and said: 81 cannot get you a
little Postofice like that, nor do l think
you want it. Come here at 4 O'Clock
and I'll try and find something better"
The dilapidated mans name was Gen.
eral Benjamin NJ. Prentiss. whose COM
mand bore the brunt of the first days
fight at Shiloh, and who stood his
ground to protect the rest of the army,
until, surrounded on all sides, he and
his entire command were captured.
General Prentiss is very old now. He
has not been successful since the war.
He has tried once or twice for elective
offices, but his politics WIS against him
in Missouri, and for the past few years
he has eked out q scant livelihood by
lecturing for a wal panorama.
Secretary Noble was true to his word.
At 4 o'clock he appointed the old Gen
eral to a place as Indian Inspector at
50, 500 a year, and it is presumed the
old man went away happy. The tears
shed by the Secretary did him honor.

ShOup.

The nomination of Col. George L.
Shoup for Governor of Idaho will
please more men in that Territory than
any other would. No man has been a
truer citizen Of the Territory, or has
done more for its advancement. The
nomination for the same Office was
urged upon Col. Shoup by President
Arthur, and his nearest friends here
have been under the impression that he
would not accept the Office under any
conditions. His consent must have
been recently gained, for we know that
Judge Beatty would never have been 9
candidate if he had thought Colonel
Shoup would accept it. The Colonel
will make a royal Governor. II will
be apparent to all who meet him that
il was not for the salary that he took
the place. Idaho is certainly to be
congratulated. and the appointment is
hailed with about as much pleasure in
Utah as il will be in Idaho. Salt

The American Party.

The principles Of the American party
are the principles Of the American peo-
pie. and some day in the near future
there will be a political revolution. In
California the American movement is
too deeply rooted to be turned back or
checked by sneers or ridicule. The
party is no longer under the control OF
any man or handful Of men. Men may
sell out, but principle is not a CONNER
cial commodity. The organization has
now a lie and vitality Of its own and
can neither be killed by treaohery and
indifference in high places, nor made the
tail Of any other party kite. The time
will come when men and newspapers
that now affect to ignore the American
party will swear that they always be.

sosskips Of Muras Halstead the Inter.

Speaking Of Murat Halstead the Inter
Ocean says: Let it be admitted that Mr..
Halstesd has been incorporate in lam
Quaee, and ct times Q little wild in his
shooting, but let it be said in the same
connection that he has taken hard blows
Is we'll as given them, and when there

the last few days they have given him As
good Is he sent. They have roasted Mr..
Halstead ct the FIRE to which he contrib
uted . good deal Of frst-class fuel, and
there the fight ought to end. The main
question is Mr.. Halstead's fitness for the
German mission. He is the choice OF the
President and the appointment is salts
factory to the people. He is a good man
for the place, and he ought to be con-
frmed. II opposition to his confirmation
were based on bad character or lack OF

different. But no one has impeached his

opposition on other grounds is discourte-

ruy HOME a.Scu TnEoar.

County Assessor Wallace claims a hear
ing in the tax matter between Eureka
and Nye counties. The SENTINEL may
quite consistently accord him this privi-
leee without materially abating the jus
tice Of its recent criticism. In fact every
public question deserves to be presented
in all Of it's phases. Mr.. Wallace holds
to the "Home Ranch" theory, which be
saws is the law Of the case as interpreted
by the Supreme Court Of this State. He
asserts that the case Of Barnes vs.. Wood.
bury, from White Pine county, is abso-
lutely conclusive Of the doctrine, that
the live stock must follow the "Home
Ranch" Of the taxpayer. With this view
he asserts that the late assessment and
seizure Of Eureka stock by the Assessor
Of Nye county was wholly Illegal and
void. He therefore contends that he has
the same right now that he ever haG to
assess il along with the real property OF
| the owners 10 Eureka county. Accord
ing to his contention, if this right does
not still exist it never did. II it never
existed he could not have assessed the
stock in Nye county, had he beer al
home. Hence, that his county has not
been injured by his absence. On the
contrary, he claims that Eureka was
greatly benefited by his presence in Car
son. Our delegation was green and in
experienced, and q number Of bills that
would have smashed this county were
only defeated through his vigilance and
efforts. He claims to have served his
county ably and faithfully all through
the Winter and to have succeeded in
preventing much legislation that would
have been detrimental to our best inter
ests. Briefly stated, this is Mr.. Wal
lace's side OF the issue.
In conclusion, we have only to repeat
the old familiar story Of the lawyer and
the prisoner. The lawyer assured the
prisoner that they could not keep him in
Jail on any such charge, to which the man
behind the bars rejoined, "they have got
me here all the same.
Nye county has Eureks's taxes all the
same.
