A PREcoNceRTEo SCHEME.
DR.. Cronin's Disappearance Now Believes
to Ra "a Hnaw

DR.. cronin's Disappearance Now Believed
to BE Hoax.
CHICAGO, May s.--No new developments
in the Cronin case have been made. The po-
lice authorities are so well satisfied that the
affair partalIes Of the nature Of precon-
.certed sensation that they have practically
abandoned all effort to trace down the miss
ing man. A leading attache Of the detective
department said that within eighteen hours
DR.. Cronin would be located In Irish
nationalist circles considerable amusement
was created by the receipt Of dispatch
signed by John Dewey, Breslin and Others
offering reward for the detection of those
responsible for DR.. Cronin's assassination. y
Outside of the Conklins, with whom Cronin
has boarded for years, nobody can he found
willing to father the opinion that he has met
with foul play. The affair has reached ths
ludicrous level of the betting arena, and las
night at the sport ng resorts the odds werl
- 70 that the missing man would turn III
in tile flesh within a week

was not in the line Of duty at the time he
sustained his injuries; but Mr., Bussey holds
that he was, and lays down the broad prin-
ciple that soldiers while in camp, while not
dsoheying orders or acting in violation OF

LONDON, May s-When Mr.. Parnell ap.
peared before the Parnel commission he sur.
prised the court by stating that he wished to
make a correction in the testimony he had
given last Friday, when he stated that he
had misled the house Of commons in regard
70 secret societies Ia Ireland.
Mr.. Parnell said that upon referring to
Hansard's report Of the house q commons
speech in question, he found that the re-
marks which Sir Richard Webster quoted on
Friday referred particularly 70 Ribbr nism
and Ribbon societies, and not to secret socie-
ties generally
Therefore, said Mr. Parnell, "the state
ment made in the house Of commons was
fairly accurate The facts are that Ribbon
ism practically did not exist at that time
This statement caused quite a sensation in
court
Sir Richard Webster then proceeded with

ceedingly TO find that gentleman reioining
the ranks Of the physical forces Mr. Par

A right 20 the Death.

Mr.. Z. w. Clark, who is president Of the
Thomas Iron company, was the protector and
backer of the Shenandoah Valley and Nor
folk and Western railroads, which have done
so much to develop the iron and coal proper
ties Of the south. Not five years ago he had
his hand on the best pulse of southern devel-
onment in the peculiar industries for which
Pennsylvania is noted. He is still credited
with having larger prospective interest in
that region than he has in his native state
This may or may not be true, but this is a
feature Of the Fumors connected with his
action in thus declaring open war against the
producers Of pig iron in the south. II this Is
TO be a fight to the death, then it win be
welcomed in this ocality as a settlement Of
longe xpected issues.
But if it shall result in a combination of
interests between the great iron masters Of
Pennsylvania and those of the south, then it
viii be fought by all the working interests Of
the state, for the reason that it will lower
the value of wages in the minimum point,
while giving the iron master practically the
same profit he now. enjoys This is believed
to be the purpose Of President Clark in de
claring open hostihties against the southern
iron master
