LONDON, June 0.-A meeting was held

responsibility, cabled $1,000 to America
before the meeting was held, Is an exam.
Pile OF the eagerness everywhere TO show
substantial sympathy. When the news
OF the disaster first reached London q
dispatch was received at the London
office from Andrew Carnegie offering

started here, in addition to $4,000 given
by his firm, and many similar generous
offers followed.

The Lord Mayor thought, said his

quite rich enough To manage their own
disasters, but what was more important,
he did not think they appreciated the
charity at The time OF the Charleston
disaster. A fund was start d, but the
money subsCtsbed was sent back by
Charleston's Mayor with the remark
that IL was not needed. Aiterward the
Lord Mayor received numerous press

Another Police Error.

CHICAGO, June GA bad mistake
seems To have been made by the police,
and other interested persons regarding
the bloody clothes reported last night
as those worn by DR.. Cronin when he
last left his office. Further iuvesti.
cations has convinced all responsible for
the error, that there Is such a thing as
jumping at conclusions. The fact Is
now proven that the slashed and CORY
garments were not Cronin's at all, but
belonged to Albert Herzog, a barber,
who committed suicide over his shop at
the corner Of Milwaukee avenue and
Peoria street about FIVE weeks ugo. A
tailor named Henry Bortnan made the
suit for Herzog three years ago, and he
identifies II. Frederick Lauer, the un.
dertaker, at 1856 Milwaukee avenue, with
the help OF Herzogs BARRIERS cut IL Of the
corpse. The BARRIERS threw the suit into
an ash barrel, from which place II found
its way through scavenger 10 q frugal
German family, whose possession oil II

Wool Of all descriptions is firm at re-
cent quotations in the interior markets,
though the amount Of business so far
done in the new clip in some sections
has been limited. In Ohio and Michi.
gan in particular cold weather and rain
have hindered shearing. Local buyers
throughoutthe interior, from all accounts,
are operating more extensively than the
representatives Of eastern houses. Prices
In the country, as is frequently the case
at this season, are above the seaboard
level. One athority says, indeed, that In
many instances the prevailing purchase
price at the west could not be obtained
in New York, to say nothing Of the ex.
ira charges for freight, commission, etc.
Stocks lon the seaboard, however, are
very small, and the strength Of the
western markets Is reflected in
Boston, New York and Philadel-
phia 10 some extent, so that these
markets also are firm, With wool costing
what II does at the places Of production,
Woolen goods must command an advance
during the coming season II the manu-.
facturers are TO clear their expenses.
There is so far no unusual demand for
fabrics, but the prospects are better than
a year ago, and on the whole q fair de.
gree OF confidence Is expressed on every
hand. The advices from England point
to q steady Improvement In manuiactur.
ing conditions there.
