Humbert W, of Italy, visiting the German
Emperor,

PARIS, May 97.-In response to COM
mpnication relative TO a report that
King Humbert had intended to visit
strassburg in company with Emperor
William before his return to Rome,
Count Menabre, Italian Ambassador IA
France, has assured NJ. spuller, Minister
Of Foreign Affairs, that the King never
contemplated such q visit. Notwith'
standing the denial Of Count Menabre
that King Humbert had intended to 60
to strassburg, 1t is rumored here that he
had prepared to accompany Emperor
William and renounced his spurpose only
in Difference to an appealing telegram
from his wife, Queen Marguerite.
All the morning papers believe that
King Humbert had really determined to
visit Strassburg and express the opinion
that he has abandoned his intention out
Of respect for the iustidable strong feel.
ing throughout Europe, and especially
among the Italian patriots against such
a visit. The papers do not hold the Ital.
ian people responsible for Italy's in.
gratitude, but they urge the Govern.
ment to avoid strengthening the hands
OF the Italian cabinet by renewing the
commercial relations between France
and Italy.

Evidence that Peter AICGsehAu KuOwI
Something of the Murder,
CHICAGO, May 97,-The police claim
that the chain Of circumstantial evidence
tending to show that he was concerned
in the assassination Of Dr., Cronin, is
tightening around Peter McGeehan, the
Philadelphian, now under arrest in this
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 II. The
police further say that Mcclellan was
missing from his room in McCoy's hotel
on the night OF the murder, and It was
because be could not give q satisfactory
account OF himself on that night that he
was arrested. On the afternoon OF the
same day Mr.. 7. 7. Conklln skurried
down To the Pinkerton agency and had
along consultation with Superintendent
Murray. He told the detective that DR..
Cronin had been warned by friends that
Mcclellan had told three or four people
that he was going TO "remove" DR..
Cronin. DR.. Cronin was not acquainted
with McGeehan, but a 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 shoulder said; "MCGeehan,
! understand that you have threatened
to kill me. I Ibelieve my friends"
"It's a lie,n replied MCGeehan, and
he marched of.

A JOB FOR MINISTER REID
To Inysstiste the Outrageous Treatment
American Ladies' in Frnpee.

To Investigte the Outrageous 1rea tmeut OF

WASHINGTON, D, O., May 27.-Cabinet
circles are very much excited over the
account Of the outrageous treatment Of
Mrs. Dorr, Nine. Van Nostrand and
Miss Marvin, all prominent society peo.
pie Of Brooklyn, by French officials at
Mentone.
Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, our Minister, was
directed by cable to-day to thoroughly
investigate the matter and call the atten.
tlon OF the French authorities to the case.
The action OF the American Consul, Mr..
ClierCy, who is a Frenchmatl, and his
Secretary, an Italian, who is also Ills
brother.in.law, will result in their
prompt dismissal from the service OF the
Government.
The fraud practiced upon these Ameri.
can ladies was bad enough, but their or.
rest and imprisonment In a dungeon is
one Of the most outrageous things that
ever happened and one that will not be
overlooked. Minister Reid will cause
an investigation OF the matter at once.
The Cabinet officers seen are unanimous
In the opinion that the treatment OF
these ladies was simply brutal and de-
serves severe punishment.

Alas Poor Harrison.

President Harrison was
bul,lirly burned in effigy, last
week, at Jeffersonville, 1udi-
ana. OF course it might ma
turally be supposed that this
was done by some bitter
Bourbon" Democrats but
no, strange to say, it was
done by some OF the "truly
loyal Republicans There
has been much dissatisfac-
tion among the Republicans
oi that town at several OF the
Presidents recent appoint
ments, but the immediate
cause of their violent out
burst of indignant on was his
appointment OF the post
master, who obtained his ap-
pointment solely because he
was a personal friend Of the
President.
The burning in effigy of the
President of the United
States is disgraceful to all
concerned, and if it had been
done by any Southern Demo
Gratis they would be bitterly
denounced by every Repub-
lican politician and paper as
being disloyal to the nation
al government. Alas! poor
Harrison seems to have the
peculiarly winning way OF
making enemies among the
men who elected him, and
when his term expires he will
be respected even less than
