The President of the Land League
on the CrOnin Murder.

ON the CrOnin Murder.
CHICAGO, June 15.-P. w. Dunno, of
Pekin, ILL.,, formerly of Chicago, re-
ceived to-day letter in response, he
says, to "a request for the president of
the Irish National League of America
to speak out publicly" Mr.. Dunno
claims to be the person who origi-
mated the charges against Alexander
Sullivan as far back as 1882. The
year following Mr.. Sullivan was elected
as the first president of the league in
this country. Mr.. Dunno this even
ing expressed dissatisfaction at the tone
of the letter from Sullivan's successor,
intimating that it was not as radical
as was desired. The letter is as follows:
Lincoln, Neb., June 14.-P.W. Dunno,
Esq.,-Dear Sir: The members of the
Irish National Land League of Amer
lea are law-abiding citizens of the
in as much adherence as any other
do. Honest men are not necessitated
to protest their honesty, and the league
has no need to protest its horror of
murder. None but those whose wish is
father to the thought would for an in
stant couple the name of the Irish Ma
ti0nal League of America with crime
of any kind, much less with
the deplOrable tragedy of which
your city has been the theater.
There is therefore no necessity for
protests or apologies of any kind from
the Irish National League of America
in connection with the murder of DR..
Cronin. A foul crime has been COM
mitted. The laws of the country have
been outraged, and it's the duty of the
officers of the law to find out and pun.
ish the criminals. Yours faithfully,
JOHN FITZGERALD,
President Irish National Land League
of America.

promise will be effected in the WOhl-

not yet spoken on the subject, but
should they support the demand of the
other powers Switzerland will likely con-
sent to stricter surveillance over for

The bundesrath has suspended it's sit
tings to enable the Saxon members to

dispute between the Prussian govern
ment and the Vatican, there was no
German among the cardinals recently
appointed. The Vatican favored Arch
bishop Krementz, Of Cologne. but Prus-
sia wanted DIR. KOpp. of Breslau. The
pope was willing to create both of them
cardinals, but owing to persistent Prus-
sian opposition to Archbishop Krementz
the negotiations OH the subject were
broken.

Charles Alf Williams Plaintiff in
$5O.OOO Libel Suit.

ST.. JOSEPH, Mo-, June 15.-Charles
Alf Williams, managing editor of the
Minneapolis Tribune, to-day filed suit
for $4,000 libel in the United States
circuit court in this city against the
Gazette Publishing company. From last
January and until couple of weeks
ago, Mr.. Williams was managing editor
of the Herald of this city, and as
result of a newspaper war between
him and C. f. Cochran, editor of
the Gazette. the Gazette charged
that Mr.. Williams. while connected with
the Minneapolis Tribune in October,
1887, had written the notorious editorial
that appeared in the Tribune during
the time President Cleveland and his
wife were in Minneapolis, denouncing
them both. and especially Mrs. Cleve-
land, holding them up to the public
ridicule in an outrageous manner.
Williams has retained United States
Senator c. K. Davis, of Minnesota;
Mai. William Warner, of Kansas City,
commander in chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic, ana John S. Crosby, Of
Kansas City, as his attorneys.

MORE DOCTORS NEEDED.

In their report of the asylum investi-
cation. the Olmsted county grand jury
threw the bulk of the blame for de-
linquencies in the institution upon the
ward attendants, and suggested that
better system for securing capable help
should be adopted. The grand jury un-
questionably struck the keynote of the
whole situation. The trouble in the
management of all institutions of this
character lies mainly in this direction.
Through an ineXcusably parsimonious
policy, the state refuses to equip these
institutions with a sufficiently large
medical staff, and consequently the
work of taking care of the inmates is
committed to unskilled persons. Take
the Rochester asylum, with its 500 pa
tients, for all illustration, where the med
ical staff consists of two doctors, the
superintendent and his assistant, and,
owing to the necessities Of the institu-
tion, the latter's position is reduced to
that of mere drug clerk. 1t keeps one
man busy in the apothecary shop COM
pounding the medicines. IF it were not
so serious a matter, it would be ludi-
crously funny to think of an institution
with 500 patients, all of whom

PHYSICIANS CENsURED.
An Alarming Increase Of Sickness
in the COnemauSh Valley.


JOHNsTOwN, Pa, June 15.-That an
epidemic is imminent in this particulal
part of the Conemaugh valley is greatly
feared by many of JOhnstown's citi-
zens. The state board of health failed
to issue an official bulletin on the con-
dition of affairs to-day. This
neglect on their part is severely
cenSured on all sides, and leads to in-
crease. rather than allay apprehension.
A press representative discovered this
evening that private circular letter,
issued by the state board of health, had
been handed to each resident clergy
man in the city to-day. urging them to
quietly vacate their pulpits and 20 to
the mountains for few weeks. When
DIR. Croft was asked what was meant by
their circular he gave evasive answers,
stating that its contents were not in
tended for the public. The doctor
stated. however, that the board would
furnish transportation to any desiring
to leave the town. The inference is
that information concerning the true
sanitary condition of the valley is being
purposely kept from the public, fearing
that is it becomes known panic will
follow. Other members of the board
claim that the town is as healthy as il

quently have they been called upon OF
attend people who were sick. They de-
clined to state the nature of the ailments
among their people, fearing to alarm
their parishiOners. AT 10:3O tonight
all the men occupying the laborers'
camp in the center part of the town
were routed out by the water. The
COnemaugh overflowed its banks about
quarter of a mile above the bend and
water swept into the camp knee-deep.
About 300 of the men advanced as far as
the guards and wanted to go to Prospect
hill. but the guards will not permit them
to do so. The labOrers are very indig1
nant, and if they are not furnished with
quarters for the night there is likely to
be trouble between them and the mill
tary. The Conemaugh is rising very
rapidly. and if it continues until morn
ing all approaches to the city will be
again cut off. The water is now almost
to the top of the Millvale bridge.

Destruction Of Residences About
the Heads of Their Occupants.
Rather peculiar feature of the d is.
pute over title to property in the new
state park at Minnehaha was the tear
ing down last evening of several build
ings about the falls ordered removed by
the park board. The occupants of tha
buildings, an old lady who has g.
dance pavilion and refreshment both
and photographer refused to bd
elected and would not leave when notii
fled by Park Superintendent Berry that
the buildings were to be removed to
make room for proposed improvements
and they remained in their castles until
the work had actually begun and the
roofs were coming down over their
ears while they packed up few
of their personal belongings and fed,
leaving the remainder to the mercy Of
were present. Supt. Berry had all the
goods stored and guarded, but the build
ings were remOrselessly wrecked and
in the course of few days new
ones of a more substantial as we'll
as ornamental nature will be in
course of erection on the site Of
the old. The courts have decided the
question as to the legal acquisition OF
the property and the amounts due to lit
igants who refused to accept the awards
have been paid over to the clerk of the
court, giving the board legal possession
of the premises. Mrs. Lincoln, one of
those who Tough the matter in
the court, has refused to ac-
cept the award of the
appraisers, and seemed to have an idea
of holding onto the property. The peO-
pie who occupied the buildings demol-
ished last evening leased from her, and
evidently thought they didn't have to
vacate until their landlady had given up

An UngratefaI Government.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 15.-A state
ment is published here that large
number of sailors of the man-of-war
Vandalia. wrecked at Samoa, were in
the city without money, and living on
the charity of their friends. The men
of the Trenton and the Vandalia lost all
their personal effects by the sinking of
the ships, and the government is sup
posed to reimburse them by the pay
ment of $50 each. None have received
this money. The men of the Trenton,
however, received their pay. The Van
dalia men, through the death Of the
paymaster, and the loss of the ship. all
the ship books and records were lost.
and have had no wages since March 16.
AS result, they have been discharged
from the service without pay or cloth

months delay before being reimbursed

ATWIsT IN JUTE.
The Jute Trust Claims 1t Evaded
the Law.

ST. LOUIS. June 15.-The jute bag
ging trust or combination, it is reported
here where its real headquarters are, is
calculating upon escaping any conflict
with the antitrust law of this state by
having all or nearly all its product sold
ahead before the law was passed. 1t
is said that its output is fully
sold UP to October, and that it
is now operating its mills in fill
ing contracts made prior to the
adoption of the law. The theory
is that the law cannot be retroactive,
and the price on the products of the
mills contracted before the law was
passed can and will he advanced ire
spective of the law. The bulk of the
bagging is now in the hands of spec
ulators. it is said, and they expect to
enhance values and reap a rich profit

Weather and Crops.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-The weather
for the week was unfavorable for small
grains in Minnesota and Dakota owing
to the small amount of rain. In Iowa,
Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas
the crop conditions were improved
by the weather for the present week.
Corn is reported as growing rapidly
but in some sections of Illinois, too
much rain is reported. Wheat harvest
is in progress in central Kansas and
will commence in Illinois next week. A
short crop of timothy and clover is now
being cut in Iowa. In Ohio, Indiana
and Michigan all crops have improved,
but excessive rains interrupted cultiva-
tion and harvest work.

He says he has information to the effect
that England and the United States

British vessels will be made in Behring
sea this season. As soon as the existing
contract with the Alaska Fur company
expires, an effort will be made to hold

pose of taking steps to protect the seal

the United States had, undoubtedly,
superior rights. The indiscriminate
slaughter of seals is having a bad effect.
For seven seals shot only one is secured.

And she knocks the neighbors silly
When she wields the garden hose.

Gets q very pleasing sight.

And their interest daily grows,
For they like to see her sprinkle,
And they like to see the hose:
