PHILADELPHIA, June IS.-The vot-
ing on the prohibition amendment is
proceeding quietly in this city. The
day is clear with cool breeze, but
Notwithstanding these favorable con-
ditions light vote is being polled.
There is a notable absence of women at
the polls and the distribution of ice
water and sandwiches is not
so profuse as had been an-
ticipated in some portions of
the city. The prohibition folks are
utilizing Sunday school children to dis
tribute the cold water tickets. A
number of polls are manned by minis
tiers. This city will give heavy ma
joritv against the amendment. Gen
eral Palmer, chairman of the prOhibi-
ton committee, however, still claims
that there will be a majority in the
state for the amendment. He figures
majority of 10 800 in the state, after
allowing an adverse majority in Phila
delphia of $4,000.

cutting Rates.

CHICAGO, June 19.-The demoraliZ-
alton of freight rates has extended az
far west as MarshalltOwn, Iowa. and
south to the northern boundary of Mis-
souri,. The st. Paul & Kansas City
road was the first to apply the twenty
eight-cent first-class rate to MARSHALL
town, but the Rock Island quickly fol-
lowed with reductions to OttUmwa and
Oskaloosa. This compelled the Bur-
lington to reduce its rates and the re-
suit was that rates all over the eastern
half of Iowa dropped yesterday to the
war basis of twenty-eight cents from
first-clasS rates. These rates, of course,
only apply on through business from
the east. but owing to the fact
that rates from Chicago are still held
disproportionately as compared with
through rates. Chicago shipments

rates to MarshaIltoWn wells, it is
thought, affect Des MOines, and later
Missouri River rates. The disintegra-
tion of rates are proceeding very
rapidly in spite of the efforts OF
the roads to cOnfine the cut
to as small territory as
possible. A few days ago only bust
ness to st. Paul was involved. Now AL
traffic going via Chicago or any of the
lake ports to the eastern half of Iowa

or the territory beyond is affected

More Developments in Regard to thu
Cronin Case.
An Indictment Against Martin Burke
on Two Accounts.
A Threatened Strike by the Brother
hood Of Engineers.
Local Option Bill Passed-A Blow at
Saloons.

CHICAGO, June I9.-The special
grand jury in the Cronin case gave its
first indication of results at noon to-
day in the shape of an indictment
against Martin Burke on two counts.
Burke alias Delany, otherwise called
Frank Williams, is indicted first, for
murder; secondly, for conspiracy with
CoughIin, .. Sullivan and Woodruff
for the purpose of committing murder,
Application will at once be made to
Governor Fifer by an officer who is now
in Springfield for requisitiOn papers for
the extradition of Burke. These pa
pers properly attested will be spread
before the state department at Wash
ingtOn and the secretary of state will
make formal request to the Canadian
government for the surrender and eX-
in. the custody of the chief of police at
Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Chicago Off
GERS and persons have been dispatched
to the scene to further identify him.
1t was only with reluctance that the
grand jury this morning returned an
indictment against Burke, and had
his partial Identification by photo
graph been the only evidence against
him, it is safe to say that the request
of chief Hubbard and States Attorney
Longnecker would have been ignored
and an Indictment denied until the
Chicago people had proceeded to Win.
nipeg and clearly identified the prison.
er as one OF the Williams
brothers. The testimony of Mich.
cal Gavin of the Chicago sewer
department who had known Burke was
very conclusive, however, and it was
upon his evidence that the Indictment
was returned. Gavin testified that he
had known Burke for long time; that
he had frequently heard the latter
boast of his friendship with z. o. Sui.
Ivan and others OF the suspected par.
ties, and that on one occasion Burke
had expressed his conviction that Gro
min was an enemy if not a traitor tt
the Irish cause.

SenEatIOnal.

CHICAGO, June I8.-The sensational
incident of the Cronin grand jury this
morning was the refusal of VIM. e.
Bell of the Western Union Telegraph
company to obey the order of the
grand jury to produce the mes
sages passing between Alexander
Sullivan, Dan Coughlin, Z. y. Sullivan
JohnJ Maroney and q. w. Melville.
Mr.. Bell maintained that it was
against the rules of the company to
produce such mess ages and that the
statutes of the state of Illinois i'm
posed fine of SIS, 600 upon telegraph
company for disclosing the contents of
any personal or business messages
passing over its lines. After all at
temptS to induce the witness to obey
had failed, the jury headed
by States Attorney Longneck-
er, repaired to Judge Sheppard's
room and appealed to his honor
to issue an order directing the witness
to answer under pain of contempt and
commitment. Chas. s. Hall, attOr-
ney for the Western Union appeared
in behalf of the witness and stated
that while the company desired in
every way to assist the ends of justice
| it did not desire to voluntarily violate
the statutes of the state and disclose
the message of it's patrons upon the
mere request of a grand jury. If the
court thought fit to issue an order d.
recting the witness under pain of con-
| tempt to produce the messages, the
company would then consider this bar
to any possible civil prosecution by
patrons, and the witness would obey
the order. He thought the jury should
more explicitly describe the messages
wanted, their request being more in
the nature of a general drag net.
7 oil hnf hn
| jury couldn't definitely describe any
particular messages because they
were not yet acquainted with the con-
! tents of the messages sent; what the
| Jury desired was the right to examine
| in all messages that might have passed
| between the suspected parties since
March 1st. The jury alone could be
the judge of their relevancy to the
case. Mr.. Halt objected somewhat to
an order of such a sweeping nature,
| but the judge fully sustained the states
attorney and an order was spread upon
the record directing the wit
nesses under pain of con-
tempt and commitment to produce
| any and all messages, cablegramS or
copies thereof in the Chicago Office
| passing between Alexander Sullivan
Dan COughlin, John J. Marony, G. w.
Melville and Charles Mcdonald, either
| under their true name or allaS, or De-
tween either of these men and Other
persons. Since the first of March last
the officers of the Western Union
stated that five men had been employed
two days searching among the records
for originals or copies.of such messages
desired, and that they would now
be promptly spread before the jury
Maurice: Morris, a friend of DR.
Cronin, was before the jury this morn
ing and told how the doctor had fire.

the enmitY of certain persons high in
authority in Irish societies. and that ht
had fears for his life. William Null

with the jury for nearly an hour ant

actions. AS matters now stand they
are in the minority. The opponents OF
