QUINLANS CONFESS
Partial Confession Made by
the Alleged Accessories
of Holmes.
KNEW OF HIS MANY CRIMES.
Murder Of the Conner Women
and Pitzel Practically
Admitted.

CHICAGO, Aug. 0.-The police nave
at last obtained q partial confession
from Pat Quinlan, the janitor of
Holmes Castle, and have, they believe,
positive evidence that Benjamin F.
Pitzel was murdered in this city by
Holmes and the corpse sent to Phila-
delphia.
The confession was wormed out Of
the Quinlans by means Of q tip given
the local officers by Detective Geyer Of
Philadelphia, who arrived in this city
during the day. The exact nature Of
the story told by the Quinlans the po-
lice will not reveal. and, IN fact, Chief
Badenoch and Inspector Fitzpatrick
have both denied that Quinlan or his
wife made any confession at all. Not
withstanding the denial Of the police,
however, it is positively known that
Quinlan
Made aud Signed . Confession.
Later it was learned that the confess
sion covered all the details of the muir
der of Pitzel, with the exception Of the
actual place in which the crime was
committed. The confession was OBJ
tanned from the Quinlans only after
the hardest kind Of work, and at the
price of a promise of immunity from
punishment for all part the Quinlans
may have borne in the murder Of Pit
eel or other crimes committed by
Holmes.
Mrs. Pat Quinlan knew Of the disap-
pearance of Mrs. Julia L. Conner in
Holmes Castle and saw the body Of
the woman after she was dead. She
further knew and has admitted that
Pearl Conner
Disappeared in the Castle
after her return from the Quinlan
farm ut Lake Michigan. Chief Babe.
noch took Mrs. Quinlan and her hus-
band to the Castle, with Inspector
Fitzpatrick and Detectives Fitzpatrick
and Morton. The object Of this trip
was more for the purpose Of letting
Quinlan and his wife meet than any
other. They were closeted together
alone for an hour in the room in which
the Julia Conner carpet lies and the
chair belonging to the murdered
woman stands. What took place be-
tween them no one knows, but Chief
Badenoch and the detectives are nearer
the solution Of the Holmes mystery
than they ever were before. They
now have positive proof that Mrs.
| Conner and her daughter Julia, or
Cora Quinlap, were murdered in the
building while the mother was in his
employ. Further, Quinlan and his

There is nothing in the political
situation that defines anything.
The silver and anti-silver conven-
lions that have been so far held
have left things as they were and
they are likely to 80 remain until
the eve Of the great presidential
contest of next year. All that can
be said is that the free silver con-
yentions are not drawing into the
free coinage movement the leaders
of either party; that there is a
strong disposition on the part Of
the more conservative elements to
hold aloof, giving more time for
the situation to develop before
taking positive ground. This is
wisdom and in it will be found the
greatest promise that the action Of
the future will be such as to line
with the best interests Of the coun-
try at home and abroad. 1t is a
waiting game this time.

SPAIN MUST PAY.

There is something peculiarly
suggestive in the present demand
made by the government at Wash
ington for the indemnity due from
Spain to Mora, the American citi-
zen, whose property was seized in
Cuba by the Spanish authorities
some years ago. This claim for
81, 800, 900, reduced by compromise
to 81, 100000, has never been paid,
and now the United States de-
mands that 1t be handed over
without ceremony. This peremptory
order, presented through the United
States minister at Madrid, made at
the present time, when Spain is
again facing revolution in Cuba,
may be interpreted to mean several
things. Among the most obvious
lessons that 1t teaches will
be the need of Spain deal
ing carefully with the prop
erty of American citizens in Cuba
during the continuance OF this
present struggle. Another lesson
will be the necessity OF toeing the
mark little more closely in deal
ing with the American govern
ment. Spain is naturally arrogant.
The people Of that country are very
blue-blooded and have a high
stomach. They seem to have for
gotten that within few centuries
they have dropped down from the
first place among the powers to the
sixth, but it has not been so with
their pride. AS they have de-
scended in the scale of nations
they have risen In their arrogance
and particularly in their contempt
Of Republican governments. This
demand, with the assurance that
it will be enforced, will teach
Spain that the American citi-
zen on Spanish soil must be
respected in his rights, his
person and his property. 1t can
also be taken as an indication that
this country has no particular
sympathy for Spain in its attempt
to coerce Cuba; that If Spain can
raise money to carry on a war
within her own colonies she can
raise money to pay a debt, long
past maturity, to an American
citizen whose property was seized
without cause. There is no doubt
that the pressing for payment at
this particular time may be en-
barrassing to Spain, particularly
il the United States should seize
upon the Spanish customs at Ha-
vana, collect and sequester suffi-
Gent sum to meet Morals claim,
which she undoubtedly would do
II forced to collect by continued
neglect Of the Spanish govern
ment. The aid and comfort that
this would give to the Cuban
insurgents does not enter into any
consideration of the case, as this is
a matter purely concerning the
parent government, Spain, and its
revolted colony, Cuba. 1t would be
a new Interpretation Of law that
would interpose the fact Of fami-
ly quarrel as ground sufficient for
the non-payment OF debts to out
side parties. There is a string tied
to this demand, and when Uncle
Sam pulls real hard Spain will feel
it. The situation is full of posi-
h;l;f;no
