ANOTHER HEAVY FIRE.

Vancouver in Washington Territory Swept
of Four Squares of Business Houses.
PORTLAND, Ore, June 22.-Four squares
in the business portion of Vancouver,
Washington Territory. were swept by a
confagration. to-day, and about thirty
buildings destroyed, involving loss Of
about $7O,OOO. The buildings were mostly
frame structures.
There were also two smaller fires in Van.
couver, last night, and it is thought incen-
diaries are at work. The matter is being
rigidly investigated.
During the progress OF the fire, this
morning, a great panic prevailed, and
many families moved their effects away
from the vicinity OF the burning district,
thinking the town was going. The losses
mostly fall upon merchants and families,
and there will be considerable destitution.

any one to death or have any knowledge,
much less having anything to do with lur-
ing Cronin from his Office or the scenes in
Carlson cottage. ALI that, it is claimed,
was the outgrowth OF the verdict, which
was simply that the proof showed Cronin
to be q spy. s~

THE CASE OF BURKE.
for His Extradition-Prepar-
ing for the Trial of the Prisoners.

Arranging for His observation-disclosures
ing for the Trial of the Prisoners.
CHICAGO, June 24.-The chief of police
has received a dispatch from Frankfort,
Indiana, that the suspect arrested there is
not Cooney.
Coughlin, O'Sullivan and Woodruff,
charged with completely in the Cronin MUIR
der, were arraigned, to-day. Coughlin
asked for q continuance. The others said
they were willing to be tried at once. At
the request OF the states attorney the
trial was put over till the next term. The
states attorney says he has enough evil
dence to hang them.
WASHINGTON, June 24.-George A. Fl.
Baker, of the states attorneys Office OF
Illinois, arrived in this city last night,
bearing an application of the Illinois au-
thorities for the extradition OF Martin
Burke, under arrest at Winnipeg Tor the
murder of DR.. Cronin.
The payers for Burke's extradition are
ready for the Presidents signature, and the
nriyate secretary will lay them before him,
this evening. After the Presidents auto
graph is attached it will be necessary to
again send the papers over to the state de-
partment before they will become complete
and in full legal form.
ANOTHER SENSATION.
CHICAGO, June 24.-To-night the sensa-
ton in the Cronin case is q circumstantial
report that the authorities have informa-
tion showing that committee of camp
OF Clan.na-Gael, after formal trial, found
Cronin guilty OF being British spy.
The charge was that Cronin, under guise
of endeavoring to expose the alleged NAL
feasapces of Alexander Sullivan and Mich
ael Boland and Dennis Feeley, was, in re-
ality, attempting to bring about public
investigation of the work and accounts oil
| the order for the information OF the Brit.
ish government and the London Times v
commission. 1t was shown that an ex-
posure of the working of the order, which
would be necessary in order to refute
Cronin's charges, would furnish the London
| Times" all the information which it had
dispaired OF obtaining by the appointment
/ of government sub-cOmmission in
America.
Cronin's maneuvers, it was also pointed
out, whatever his motives, could hardly
help but incur the extradition OF every
man who had gone across the water on
"active service"
Chief Hubbard and States Attorney
Longnecker neither explicitly affirm mol
deny the reports. The story is that two
trials of Cronin were held. The first wa,

ANOTHER SUSPECT CAPTURED.
Taken at Joliet-The London "Timea
Wants Copy of the Evidence.

Taken at Joliet-The London "Times''
Wants o Copy of the Evidence.
CHICAGO, June GA new arrest was
made this afternoon, in the Cronin case.
The prisoner is Michael Walsh, q plumber,
who has been working at Joliet. He knew
Martin Burke, the Winnipeg suspect, in
Chicago. Burke, isAis~sepestsd, turned up
in Joliet the day after the Cronin tragedy
aud remained with Walsh, and was prac-
tically penniless until June 9, when, it is
thought, a money order came to q Winni.
peg man from Chicago.
The natural inference would be that
Walsh's arrest is due to q decision on the
part OF the police to elicit anything OF
value he may know regarding Burke.
It is supposed that Williams, with whom
Cronin drove of the night of May 4, will
never be seen again.
CHICAGO, June 22.-Walsh was released
tonight after being subjected to a thor.
ough pumping. So lar az could be
learned the information extracted from
him, while interesting and worth having,
did not afford the rich leads for which the
police hoped.
THE LONDON TIMES WANTS A COPY OF THE
EVIDENCE.
CHICAGO, June GA cablegram from
the solicitor of the London "Times," says
the DAILY News, F" was received at the Office
of Attorney Frank Collier, this forenoon.
It requested him to procure, as soon as
possible, D certified COPY of the evidence
taken BY the coroner in the Cronin inquest.
The evidence makes, 100 pagesinItype- writ
or print, and the copy which will be made
next week will cost $3.50. For what pur-
pose the "Times" wants the evidence is
not known. MIR. Collier is now on his way
TO England.
WHAT HE SAYS HE SAW.
CHICAGO, June 22.-George e. Brooks, q
railroad news agent, tells q queer story.
He says that on the night Cronin was MUIR
iered he was driving in Lake View with his
when he saw three men loading
d trunk into q wagon at Carlson cottage.
Halt an hour later he saw some men dump
ing the contents OF q trunk into the catch
basin in which the body Of Cronin was
ound. He says he saw the men and q
emale companion, and would be able to
IDENTIFY then.
Brooks explanation OF his failure to
ell the story before is that he is afraid OF
osing his life, as he believed the men con-
,erned in the murder were 80 desperate
hey would kill any one they thought would
,ring up az witness against them. Before
;elling the story he stipulated that he
Ihould be given protection. He described
he three men he saw. A description OF
me Of them, it is said, fits Burke, the
Winnipeg prisoner.

ports from special agents sent to the
Mexican border for the purpose OF investi.
eating the subject on the importation Of
lead ores from Mexico that extensive
frauds have been practiced and payment
OF the proper amount OF duties on this
commodity has been systematically
evaded.
These reports will have great weight in
the settlement Of the question at issue,
and it is believed the department will hold
that the dutiable value of imported ores
containing lead and silver must be deter
mined by the relative weight OF the two
metals, instead OF by their relative value,
as under the present practice.
Secretary Window said, this afternoon,
speaking OF the conference, that they had
reached conclusions in several OF the ques-
tions under consideration. but would not
be in shape for a public announcement be-
fore next week.
NEE PERCEs INDIAN PROTEST.
James Reubens, q Nez Perces Indian from
Idaho, called on Secretary Noble and Act
ing Indian Commission Bell to-day and
warmly protested in the name OF his tribe
against the retention in Office OF Chas. T..
Monteith as agent for his people. Monteith
was agent for the Nez Perces during the
four years prior to 1886, when he was sue
ceeded by Geo. A. Norris. His present ap-
pointment WAS made since the incoming OF
the present administration. Reubens rep
resented that during Monteith's former
term he had forfeited the respect and good
will 0f the tribe by repeated acts OF cruelty,
and On many occasions he had demon
strated the fact that he had no interest
whatever In the welfare Of the Indians. He
said he was q man totally unfit by nature
to occupy the position, as was demon
etrated by the fact that during his former
term he had gained the ill-will OF nearly
every member OF the tribe.
He said that his people would persistent
ly oppose the allotment OF their lands in
severalty now being made, unless Monteith
was recalled and another and better man
sent to them in his place.
Secretary Noble at the conclusion OF
Reubens' statements, assured him that his
charges against Monteeth would receive his
careful attention, and il it was found that
Monteith was untitled for the position to
which he had been appointed he would not
be permitted to continue IN it. The secre-
tary, however, said that while he was dis
posed to give them as their agent the very
best man obtainable, yet he fully expected
the Indians to Immediately abandon the
purpose they might have of retaliating
against Monteith's appointment by refus'
ing to take their lands. g..
APPOINTMENTS MADE.
The following appointments are an
John l.. Stevens of Maine, to be
minister to the Hawaii Islands; Geo.
Money, OF Tennessee. to be minister OF Par
aguay and Uruguay; John Martin, Craw.
lord, Ohio, to be consul to st. Petersburg.

F. Evans Of California special agent Of the
treasury.
