THE PARNELL COMPASSION.
Interest Dying out Since the Leader
 Closed Ills Testimony.

LONDON, May 13.-The interest in the Parnell Commission has almost died out since the close of the Irish leaders ex- animation and the ruling of the Court limiting the scope of Archbishop Walsh's evidence. The feeling among the Irish IS growing stronger from day to day that the Judges will decide in favor of the Times, and Sir Charles Russell Is strongly urged to lose no more time over 1t.
 But the audience in the court, if not numerous, Is still very distinguished. MT. Gladstone Is frequent visitor. Cal deron, the royal academician, Is paint ing great picture of the historic scene, and Millais and Burne Jones sometimes look in.
 . The Irish papers are renewing their attacks on the commission. United Ire land says: The opinios. of the Judges on the merits and demerits of the Irish movement is a matter of indifference: Irishmen arc not sufficiently interested on this point to care to discuss the inn partiality of the tribunal. There Is not a doubt that the Judges were selected as the most reliable parrisans of coercion on the English bench"

4HE MINERS STRIKE.
100000 Now Out of Work in ths
 Westphalia Districts.
SPREADING RAPIDLY
The Emperor Extremely Anxious Con. corning the situation-Great Brit Public With Them

BERLIN, May 13.-The miners strike is assuming great dimensions, there being fresh acceSsions of strikers every day 1t Is now estimated that there are 100, 900 hands out of work throughout tho Rhen- ish Westphalia districts. The emperOs returned to this city hurriedly on Wed- nesday last, to consult with Prince Bis. marck, who presided at a special council
 The emperor Is deeply concerned oves the strike movements now pervading the country, and does not conceal his sym pathy with the workmen, although he fA determined to suppress disorder. After cabinet councils on Wednesday ana Thursday, thet emperor approved re- port advising that the influence of tho government be directed to induce em- ployers to terms with the men. Ths cabinets anxiety for a speedy settlemens of the miners strike is heightened by the growing dangers of industrial strikes in populous centers.
 An important distinction between tho agitation in the mining and those in other industries Is that the former is in the meantime not associated with the Socialists, while the latter are closely re- lated to them. The dread in governments circles Is that the miners will be easily drawn within the circle of the Belgian Socialist miners societies. Already Anarchist agents from the Charleroi ana Mons..miners promise the Bochum and Essen men assistance. The report of English:unions offering succor is untrue. but the mems committee have signed joint appeal to the miners of Great Brjt ain, which, 1t Is expected, will elicit at least an expression of moral support.
 Public opinion concerning their claims also sides with the men. Since 1887 the coal trade has been immensely prosper ous, the production and sales having ip- creased over 75 per cent. The values of mining shares have rapidly risen, while the wages of the men remain at an aver age of shillings pence per day. Their request to obtain an advance of pence per day, working eight hours, finds unani- nous approval, except from the more ab- feet organs of the employers.
 A number of mine-owners signify their willingness to grant the demands. Fall- ing an early assent by Krupp and the larger companies, the emperor will re- ceive deputation of colliers, probably publicly to express his sympathy. The men are aware of his sentiments. At the termination of their meeting they shout,
 Hoch, Kaiser. It is not unlikely that he will visit the strike district if the trou- bis continues to spread.
 LNTER-The entire military garrison of Dusseldorf is now in the district dis turbedAby the miners strikes. The miners lat Muelhern and Duisburg have Joined the strikers, and the strike is still spreading. The pitmen at Schleswig a. tackled their foreman with daggers late Saturday night and drove them from the works. The military ordered them to disperse. They refused, and volley was fired which killed six people.

STILL HE'S MISSING.
Dr. Cronin's Appearance in Toronto : Not Believed.
A FICTION OF ENEMIES
Disposed of the Body of the Woman. Three or the BlIssing mans Frtend Talk Of His Death as Murder.

CHICAGO. May IS. -.Dr. Cronin's re- ported appearance in Toronto Is believed to be fiction invented by two ex-news- paper men of Chicago. Messrs- Long and Starkey. The latter person Is also law yer, and he is Canadian fugitive to avoid punishment for bribing Jurors. He was also at one time attorney in suit which was instituted to besmirch Cronin's character. and the men are enemies.
 A manhole or shaft connecting with the Fullerton avenue conduit beside the Lake Shore drive Is at the foot of Fuller ton avenue and not far from the place the body of the woman was said by Woodruff to be left. This shaft Is ten feet wide and forty feet deep, and Is full of water to within ten feet of the top. In one side of the cover is the freshly made mark such as a Jimmy" would make. The theory Is and threw the body into 1t, and the mark on the cover was made by them when opening 1t. Discovery was almost i'm possible as the shaft leads directly to the six foot water main and a powerful cur rent constantly passes beneath 1t. The bottom of the shaft will be dragged.
 Chief Detective Horace Elliott says he has located the men. King and Fairburn, who went with. Woodruff in the wagon WHICH CdTEl0U Lu0 WOIuuu T01Qa1QS UO Lincoln Park, and that he can put his hands on them whenever he wants them.
 NEW YORK. May 13.-John O'Calla- ghan, Ricard Powers and Patrick Car mody, the Chicago delegates to the con- ventlon of the Ancient Order of Hiber- nians to be held in Tammany hall tomor- row, have arrived here. The last time they were here Dr. Cronin was with them. They were met at the train by a large body of friends and the conversa- ton there and at the hotel during the evening was on the fate of Dr. Cronin.
 The visitors agree that he has been made away with. They say he was q man of the best habits, most careful in all his transactions. and that the stories that had been started to cover up his murder are false.
 MT. O'Callaghan said there was not a doubt in his mind about Dr. Cronin' s death, and the truth would all come out In time. MT. Powers said that no amount of deceit and false theories could cover up the crime.
 MT. Carmody could hardly control his emotion, and declared that Dr. Cronin's death would be avenged.

FLAMES WHEN AT SEA
Fire Breaks Out in the Hold Of the
 Steamer Rugia.
A PANIC ON BOARD.
Trouble Is Prevented by the Prompt Action of the Captain The Fire Finally Exiting uished and the Ves- sel Brought to Port.

LONDON, May 13.-The steamship Rugia. which sailed from New York May 2 for Hamburg, put into Plymouth at ? o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 On the night of May the cotton which was slowed in her after hold took fire from spontaneous combustion. The flames spread rapidly. When the iron bulkhead doors were opened the heat was intense and many of the passengers were scorched The cotton bales slowed around the passengers baggage room ig- nited, and the flames were fed by casks of lard near by. The cabins were flooded with water and the passengers were com pelled to remain on deck forty-eight hours.
 Just before the fire was extinguished there was a panic on board. Some of the men conspired with members of the crew to steal the boats and leave ship prema- turely. They made rush, but they were confronted by the captain with revolver in his hand.
 "I'u kill the first man who tries to leave the ship before I give the order" he cried. The men fell back quickly.
 Finally all hope of saving the ship was abandoned and the order was given to lower the boats. when the idea oc- cured to the captain to try steam instead of water. The order to lower the boats was countermanded, and volumes of steam were turned into the fre-stricken portion of the ship, with the result of ex- tinguishing the flames and assuring the safety of all on board.
 One hundred and thirty bales of cotton were thrown overheard. When the con- t1dence of the passengers in their safety was restored they presented the captain and crew with an address expressing their thankfulness and admiration of their bravery, and also distributed among them gifts in remembrance of the peril ous experience through which they had passed

 We have made arrangements with Golfers Once Week to publish one of the most pleas ing serial stories of modern times.
 "It is entitled "A Masked Marriage" and the fact that it has been one of the most pop ular stories published in the greatest of mod ern story papers is alone guarantee thatino one can afford to miss reading 1t.
 "A Masked Marriage" is story of remark able force, stirring character bristling with action and abounding in strong situations.
 "A Masked Marriage" is by John E. Barrett. editor of the Scranton Truth" and author of the "The Rising Tide," "The Black List." "Love and Labor." "The Wrecked Home steads," etc.
 Grimsbey, the city in which the plot is laid, is a mining center, and MT. Bar rett has drawn largely of marterial from hie daily life in the Pennsylvania coal regi ons In its conception.
 The characters he lays before us are repre- sentative ones and intensely absorbing though each situation there is no unhealthy flavor in single line. Its sensationalism is life itself.
