In is almost a source of regret that Graham
was not swallowed up in the rapids of Nj
agara, barrel and all. But he was not, and
we may expect to hear Of him again in
some other hazardous experiment. Such
exhibitions of foolbardiness is of no benefit
to the world. He is lunatic of the dan
gerous kind, and ought to be locked in an
insane asylum. His destruction would not
be disastrous to the welfare of our country.
Put him on the list, for surely he would not
be missed.

TExARKANA, Ark, March 16.-The
excitement concerning the continued
disappearance of the young man Rob

friends and relatives have given up all
hope that he is alive, and now think

may be cleared up and the guilty per-
sons identified and brought to justice,
and tonight at this hour meeting,
largely attended and composed Of tho
best citizens, is being held at the court
house for the purpose Of perfecting an
organized effort for thorough ventila-
tion Of the case, to the end that q
wrong may be, as far as possible,
righted and justice prevail.

THE PROPOSED ROUTE.

The projected route is from New York
across North America to o point beyond
the northwestern boundary of the United
States; thence to Behring straits; across
there to the coast Of Asia; across Asia
and Europe. The great gap is at present
across Siberia, where there Is no rail-
road. However, the recent movements
Of the Russian government tend towards
putting rails across this territory. From
the western continent Of Europe to the
Ural mountains there is now communica-
ton by rail, and the car Of Russia Is
said to be much interested in two lines
of railway across Asia. These roads
terminate on the eastern shores of the
Pacific, the one terminating at Oren-
burg, the other at Ekaterinburg. But
in order to make the chain Of railway
around the globe complete. the distance
from st. Petersburg to Behring straits
must be traversed. This region has not
yet single line of railway.
The Russian government, feeling the
necessity Of spanning this territory, has
sanctioned line Of railway to be built
across it, terminating at Vladivistock
near Japan, almost due west from Port
land, Ore. The continents of Asia and
America are much nearer at this parallel
than further south, but not near enough
for the purposes Of international railway
communication. For this there must be
a branch line leaving the Russian road
a considerable distance west from Via
LIVESTOCK and running up through Siberia
to Behring straits.
1t is understood that the crossing of
Behring straits is perfectly practicable.
In the narrowest place they are but ten
miles wide and are full of islands, so
that bridges can be thrown from one to
another. During portion Of the year
the straits are open and cars could be
crossed on boats the same as across the
river between Detroit and Windsor,
Canada.
The principal American tract unpro-
vided for is across Alaska. As vet there
is no move to traverse this country,
which is almost IN unknown wilderness.
But with the rapid pushing westward on
the continent and the valuable products
to be gained from Alaska, it is probable
that not many years will elapso before
the American Pacific roads will be
pushed to the Straits. e

pccted that any ono will go this route to
save time, for he will be obliged in trav-
ersing IL to go westward, and thence
around the globe; but it would give the
traveller an opportunity to visit many
foreign countries, and literally to see the
world. An ocean steamer has already
made more than 800 miles In one day,
and the Atlantic is now traversed in six
days, while the proposed trip around the
world would require perhaps double or
triple this time; but the novelty of the
trip would be something remarkable. y

NJ. X. Barber died at Kansas CITY
last week, leaving an estate Of about
900, 900 to his second wife. John
K. Barber, who claims to be son Of
the deceased, contested the validity of
the will. The defense introduced q
novel plea, which was based on the fol.
lowing remarkable story: Barber's
first wife died in giving birth to a boy.
When one day old the boy was placed
in charge Of an aunt who had the same
day given birth to boy. One Of the
boys died, and the nurse was at a loss
to tell which. 1t was finally decided
that 1t was the son Of young Barber's
aunt. The defense claimed that il
was NJ. X. BARRIERS son who died, and
that John X. was the nephew Of tn,
deceased. The case was compromised

Porter, in which he says "The Con-
federate veterans are, as Of yore, our
fellow-courntymen, and in regard to
the hostile feeling between Northern
and Southern soldiers, the latter have
long since forgotten it. Out Of the
conflict many good qualities which we
might have otherwise never possessed

nous feelings for those who warred

which the stars and stripes should

CRONIN SENTENCED.
The Clan-Na- Gael Deoreed That He Should
DIE

The Clan-Na- Gael Decreed That He Should
Die.
CHICAGO, May 27.-The following SEN
sational story is published here this morn
ing:
The police have been put in possession
Of facts which, if true, are far more start
ling than was ever expected concerning
DR.. Cronin's murder. 1t has been clearly
shown by the dead mans friends that his
removal was ordered by a committee in
some way representing the Olan-NaGael
Society. Charges of traitorOus conduct
were preferred against him at a meeting of
ClanNa Gael Camp; he was found guilty,
and his removal was ordered. The charge
WAS based on the statement of the
British spy, LeCaron, that there
were four more spies in America when
LeCarOn made that statement on the
stand before the Parnell Commission, be
was ordered to state the names of the spies.
be said be dared not do it, because if they
were known, they would be murdered
Presiding Justice Hannen then took him
into an closed ante room, and in the pres
ence of Mr.. Richard Webster, the AttOr-
ney General, who is conducting the prose-
cution with Sir Charles Russell, Parnell's
attorney, LeCaron stated the names.
Within forty-eight hours after this news
wss cabled across from Europe, nearly
every Clsn-na-Gael Camp in America bad
met and passed resolutions declaring IN
favor of rigid hunt for the spies. The
finger Of suspicion, Justly or unjustly, wss
pointed at Cronin. A committee was ap-
pointed to try him. He was convicted
without being given a chance to make
defence, and the assassins were brought
here from outside points to carry out the
mandate of the committee The latter
was chosen by secret ballot. 1t Is
claimed that the murder conspiracy would
not have ended with DR.. Cronin had not
his body been fOurd 30 OppOrtunely in the
Evanston avenue man-hOle. There were
other Irishmen on the executiOner's 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, Father Tuohy, a prominent
Catholic clergyman, Capt. Dan Gles-
son, Capt T. P. O'COnnor, John De-
voy and one OF two others mad been
tried and convicted OF certain charges and
orders for their removal" signed. In the
case of Hynes and Dewey 1t was alleged
that they were careless in letting LeCaron
make way with the Clan-na- Gael records,
which formed the basis of the testimony
before the Parnell commission. LeCaron,
Hynes and Dewey were the recognized
leaders Of the order, and to them was in
trusted the care of all its records. These
records disappeared the day LeCaron
started for England. For time suspicion
pointed at Hynes and Dewey, and though
they clearly established their innocence,
their removal" was ordered as a warning
to future generations of officers.
