Cronin a British Spy.

CHICAGO, June 24.-To. nights sensation
in the Cronin case is circumstantialreport
that the authorities have information show
ing that committee of Camp 20 of the
Clan-na- Gael, alter formal trial, found
Cronin guilty of being British spy. The
charge was that Cronin under the guise
of endeavoring to expose alleged malfeas-
ance Of Alexander Sullivan, Michael Boland
and Denis Feely, was in reality attemp-
ting to bring about public investigation
of the work and the accounts of the Order
for the information of the British Govern
ment, and the London Times Commission.
1t was shown that the exposure of the
workings of the Order which would be
necessary in order to refute Cronin's charg-
es would furnish to the London Times all
the information which it had despaired of
obtaining by the appointment of Govern
ment sub commission in America.

MEMORANDUM.

1t is understood that the requirements
for beer, ale or porter will be: That 1t shall
be manufactured from malt and hops en-
tirely. The presence of any other bitter
than hops, or malt other than barley, OF
of any other other ingredients than matted
barley and hops, will cancel the license
and involve the additional penalty.
The use of matted barley for whisky and
nothing else will be imperative. This will
nearly eliminate the Fusel Oil so largely
found in whisky made from rye or other
raw grain.

THE New York Press thus sums up the
result of the Samoan conference as highly
creditable to our diplomats. 1t calls at
tention to the fact that year ago the
question was of the annexation of the
Samoan Islands by Germany. The Ger
mans had all but taken possession of them
They had deposed the legitimate king, and
carried him prisoner to distant island,
and ther had set up puppet of their own
in his place. To-day there is not whis-
per of the possibility Of German annexa-
ton of Samoa. Not only that, Malietoa,
the true king, is to be restored. Tamasese
is to be sent back into his original power
lessncss. The Samoans are no doubt
guaranteed their national autonomy. They
are to be protected from being gobbled up
by Germany or any other power. The
rights of each of the three countries-Ger-
many, England and the United States
are to be equally sustained, and all the
minor disputes which have arisen con-
cerning the indemnity, the land question
and the coaling stations have been settled
by the consent of the contracting par
ties

JouSSTowY seems about to be restored
though the process will be novel one for
a community so long established The
town has heretofore consisted of an assem-
blage of independent boroughs. TO restore
the streets, resurvey land lines. provide
sewers and do other similar work under
the old system would be all but impossible,
and it is therefore proposed to obtain a
city charter covering the whole area. All
this will take time, and until it is accom-
plished no permanent improvements can
be made. 1t is therefore proposed to erect
temporary shelters in which the merchants
can reopen their stores and set business in
operation once more. The growth of the
place will therefore be like some of the
western railroad towns, which spring up in
week, in most temporary fashion, then
are transformed into substantial cities.

BL0oD-HoRsE MEETING.

Sacramento May Have 1t if Her Citizens
VIII Wake Up.
Referring to the meeting of the Directors
of the Blood-horse Association in San Fran
cisco on Monday evening, the Post says:
Colonel II. 1. Thornton was appointed a
committee OF one to select the track on
which the meeting will be held. From
what can be ascertained there appears to be
prejudice against both the Bay District
and Oakland. San Jose has been thought
OF favorable, but the Directors remember
that once before when they were taking
San Jose into consideration they were
driven away by the unreasonable demands
OF the latter place. Colonel Thornton Is
known to be very strongly N favor of Sac
ramento.
There can be no doubt that if the citizens
OF that burg wake themselves up and offer
proper inducements they have a very good
show of getting the Blood-horse Associa-
ton to hold their meeting on the Sacra-
mento track. There will be four days run
ming races, commencing Saturday, Novem-
Der 2. The remaining three days will be
probably the Tuesday, Thursday and Sat
urday OF the following week.
Fresno, Napa and others places will be
visited in regard 10 this matter. A decision
will be reached by November 18th. After
which the Directors will commence to map
out their programme.
