THE CHURCH AND THE CLAN-NA-GAEL
VIII the Society Be Condemned as a Re
ruIt of the Cronin Murder?

viii the Society Be Condemned as a Re
rult of the Cronin Murder?
BALTIMORE, Md, June 10, 1889.-It is
given out from a source that has always
been regarded as very close to Archbishop
Gibbons that the developments concern
ing the Clan-na-Gael that have been
brought out in the murder of DIR. Cronin
in Chicago will without delay receive the
very serious consideration of the highest
authority of the Catholic Church in the
United States.
1t is matter of record that the Church,
as Church, is opposed to secret societies.
Occasionally the Holy See has considered
it polite to allow this doctrine or principle
to remain in abeyance, as in the
case of the Knights of Labor
who couple of years ago. as result OF
the earnest intercessfonS of Careinal Glib
bons and other noted ecclesiaSticS, in
cluding Cardinal Manning of England,
received prima facie recognition from
the Vatican.
But even this recognition was not pro-
mulgated as decree, and today in more
than one of the Canadian provinces the
order is under the ban of the Church and
has for its inveterate opponent no less
parsonage than the Cardinal Archbishop
TaShereau.
But the Irish secret societies in this
an anomalous position. The Ancient
Order of Hibernians, for instance, has
been tolerated in one diocese and diseOn-
countenanced in another; prohibited at
tending mass in regalia and as an order IN
one church and recognized with special
services in another
In the case of the United Brotherhood
or Clan-na-Gael, however, while its exist
ence has been known and passively recog-
nized, there is no record of any opposition
being entertained toward it or of its be-
ing denounced in any pulpit of any
diocese in the country.
This may have been due in part 10 It's
peculiarly secret character: in part, per-
haps, to the fact that more than one
priest of national and international repu-
tation has been credited with having his
name on its roll of membership.
Be this as it may, it is at least fact that
the recent developments, not so much con-
nected with the Cronin tragedy as with
the expose of the Buffalo trial, have
drawn attention to the order, and laid the
ground work for the serious inquiry as to
whether the pronunciaments of the
Church should not be directed against it.
To quote the words of the chancellor of
one of the largest diocese of the country,
who stands close to the Cardinal and who
was summoned to Baltimore within
few days:-'sThe Church will await the
developments of the civil authorities in
its investigation of the Cronin conspiracy
before it will take any action. Ifit should
in any way responsible for this deplorable
affair. / have no drubt that such
steps will be taken as will warrant the or
der's being condemned by name by ali the
Archbishops of the country. The duty of
the church is very plain in the matter,
and its line of action is clearly marked
out by the DEGREES of the Third Plenary
Council -

A Chicago Anarchist Who Would Not
Find Anybody Guilty.
CHICAGO, June 10, 1s89.-John P. Ducey,
better known as " Dynamite Ducey, one
of the most pronounced anarchists in the
city, was sent to Jail yesterday for con-
tempt of court by Judge Williamson. He

paneled Ducey told Judge Williamson

clared that he would keep him two weeks
anyway.

Attorney enquired:-"Mr.D Ducey; will you
enforce the law if selected to serve on this
jurys"
"Why will you nots''
Because don't believe in convicting
people. Ibelieve in preventing crime"
"How would you keep men from rob-
bing other menY" l
Il would see that they had what money
they needed without having to steal it. "
Judge Williamson asked:-"DoI under
stand you to say that you willnot enforce
the law if sworn in as juryman?"
''That is what said"
well, Mr.. Ducey, Ill just send you to
the County Jail for the night"
When Ducey reached his cell he up
lifted his hand and dramatically ex-
claimed: = "Here am /, a martyr to my
opinions In yonder cells suffered, long
months, five of my comrades, and they,
too, We're martyrs to their opinions.
Four of them swung from the gallows;
Lxre, 4t<.s, Ia. s.
Yet this they call the land of iberty-of

PoRTENT3 j OF WAR.

(le.LI Il

Austria and Russia Are Evidently Bent
ON Trying Issues at an Early Day.
By Gable to the United Press.
LONDON, June 10, 1sS9.-Peace or war;
This is the question all Europe is asking
itself now, and yet the profoundest judg
ment of the wisest statesmen in Europe
is unable to furnish an answer
Those who speak for the governments
most Immediately involved in the warlike
rumors are ready enough to declare that
there will be no war. These are the as
surances thatB come from Berlin, from
Vienna and from ST. Petersburg. But
it is noteworthy that while the words that
issue from the lips of those who hold the
destinies of Europe in their hands, are
peaceful as the sucking dove, their acts
SAVIOR much more of blood and iron.
The powers most directly affected by
the war rumors in the air are Russia and
Austria, and however sincere may be the
assurances of each that her intentions
are peaceful, there is no question
whatever about the great extent of the
war preparations at this moment being
made by both. Such q despotism as
Russia is able to a great extent to do its
worst in the dark, and little in the way OF
information for the outside world can
escape the argus-eyed Russian censors.
Notwithstanding this, however, enough
1nfOrmat10n passes the Russian deau line
from time to time to establish the fact
without question that immense war
preparations are going on in Russia, and
on q scale that has not been equalled
since the war with Turkey.
Austria has greatly augmented the force
of men engaged in terrifying the line OF
the Dwena River on the Servian frontier.
That the character of these works
is extremely formidable is not denied
at Vienna, and while Austria insists that
they are intended strictly for defense.
Russia looks on suspiciously and notes
the facility which these works will fur
nish for an incursion into her territory
when the time for action arrives.
Servia, governed as she is for a time by
q weak executive, and hampered by an
uncertainty as to the future of her present
infant monarch, is in no position to
make formidable war preparations, but
Montenegro, aided by financial support
from Russia, is already armed to the
teeth and her army is on q war footing.
Russia is constructing armofed ships on
the Black Sea and pushing them forward
to completion in hot haste, while on the
Pacific she is increasing her fleet, fortify-
ing her harbors anew, and generally
clearing the decks for action.
If the outcome of all this extraordinary
preparation is to be sweet and gentle peace,
then it will become useless hereafter to
pay any heed to the most significant facts
which may portend war.

The expenditures above do not include
q large number of bills contracted by the
old Board which the new Board has not
yet ordered paid.
A number of citizens complained of the
condition of the meadows lying between
Newark avenue and the Erie Railroad,
Brunswick street and the Junction rail-
way. 1t is constantly covered with stag
nant water and sewage matter owing TO
the overflow of the Eighth street sewer
The Corporation Counsel was asked for
an opinion as to whether railroad corpor-
ations have the right to condemn and
close up tide water creeks. A creek in
the Greenville district is needed for the
purpose of draining a sewer which the
Board wishes to build in that section of
the city, but it has been taken up by a
railroad company.
The bad condition of North street west
of Nelson avenue was also complained of.
The water washing down its slope has cut
ridges into it which make it dangerous
for driving.
A number of improvements were re-
ported as being completed, but on motion
of Mr.. Van Keuren, payment for them
was laid over until the Board had exam
ined the work. Mr.. Van Keuren said that
it had been the custom heretofore to ac-
cept work without inspecting it.
A resolution was adopted setting forth
that as Washington street south of the gap
has practically been abandoned as pub
lie street, permission be granted to Will
liam H. Whelan to erect a frame building
for business purposes ON the westerly side
of the street south of and adjoining the
gap. For this privilege Mr.. Whelan is to
pay the city $50 per annum and move on
three months notice from the Board.
AS some of the mines advertised to fur
nish coal cannot do SO in the time re-
uuired, the clerk was ordered to advertise
q new bid. ls

HOW IL LOOKS TODAY.
Estimates of the Losses Made by the
Losers Themselves.

Losers 1netnSSlVess
This morning the entire block is one
ruin. There Is no real difference between
the refinery and the machine shop. except
that the shell of Topker's place still stands
intact, while Cushing's is thing of the
past.
The western side of Browns boiler
shop was forced to the eastward about
three inches by the expansion OF Cush-
ings wall but otherwise it seems at first
glance to be quite uninjured. This is not
the case, as it was damaged about 81, 900,
according to Mr.. Brown.
When the wall of the machine shop fell
the red hot bricks crashed through
Browns roof and did some damage by
fire, while the machinery on the ground
floor sustained some damage by fire and
by water.
To look in through the front of what
was once Cushing's machine shop, re-
calls the stories of the burning of Rome.
The charred ends of half burned
timbers are mixed in an heterogene-
Gus mass with shafting, and
the heavier machinery is toppled about,
so that it looks as ii it could never be used
again. The tops of the walls are all
broken and the ragged remains are like
the ruins Of robber castle on the Rhine
grim and melancholy
Mr.. Cushing thinks that his loss will
reach s150,000, and as he Is only insured
for $4,000, he is not in very good spirits.
The ruins of the refinery are crowned
by the great vacuum pan which stands
there, the CHASTITY skeleton of great bust
ness. The condenser still stands on its
four wooden legs, but they are nearly
burned through, and it may
fall at any moment, in which
case it will go all the way
to the ground, and carry the vacuum pan
along, as the supports are nearly all
burned away and the apparatus weighs
several TONS
: Mr. Tooker's loss is somewhere between
$4,000 and $500, 600; he could not tell
any more particularly than that this
morning.
The Insurance on building, machinery
and stock is, in round numbers, S175, 900,
SO that there may be very slight net
loss,
Across Morris street from Cushing's are
the Wallis Iron Works, and they came
very near going last night. The top of
the wooden front of the main building is
pretty thoroughly charred, though the
damage is but trifiing.
1t was only by the dint of hardest work
by employees Of the place, who got out
the company's hose before the Fire De-
partment appeared. that the building was
saved. As It was, it was the only place
touched by the flames where there was
any place to work this morning, and IL
made great contrast with the others.

had no recollection of having either struck
or bitten Shubert.

up their minds which story to believe.
