Mr. Cochran would join the party. He

Mr. Chamberlain's tariff proposals They
meant. he said, either that the colonies
surrendered their independence to England
or vice versa. Never had sug yestion been
made 50 fatal TO the integrity Of the En-
pire.
Referring to the Irish question, Mr., Cock
ran said he believed that no struggle In the
history of the world could be compared
to the fight which had been waged to the
verge of success.
America would not now be free but for
the Intervention Of France. and instead of
supporting free institutions it might now
have been the scene Of prescriptions, vio-
lence and oppression. He thought he
could say that the victory of the Irish Ma
tionalist cause was assured. He hailed the
twentieth century As Ireland's opportunity.
He believed that before it closed Ireland
would be found awakened and holding aloft
the lamp of progress morality and justice.

ARDSLEY MURDER INQUIRY.
Supt. Hale Says HeHenan Named Hewitt's
SOn-in.Law.

SOnslnsLaW.
ARDsLEY, June l3.--Coroner Russell
went to the Ardsley Club this afternoon
and got from E. c. Hale the superintendent,
his statement OF what happened on the
night that John Eeffernan was murdered.
Hale told the Coroner that Heffernan said:
Il was slot by Mr.. Hewitt s intended
son-n-aw.'
There was much interest in Coroner
Russells call on Hale to-day because Hale
had refused on Friday TO talk to the Coroner
and the Coroner had threatened him with
arrest. On Friday night Coroner Russell
was notified by F. Z. Eldrdge, chairman
of the house committee OF the Ardsley
Club, that Hale would willingly talk to tn 9
Coroner to-day.
The Coroner asked Hale why he had re-
fused to talk on Friday, Hale said he had
been ordered by the club not to talk to
reporters or any one about the case, AL
though The Coroner told him who he was
Hale still declined to talk and he explained
his attitude by saying he was acting under
orders from the club.
Ii is presumed that after the Coroner
left Hale reported to Mr.. Eldridge and the
latter sent for the Coroner.
After having got an explanation from
Hale on that subject the Coroner asked
Hale what happened on the night Of the
murder. Hale said:
Il asked HeTernan who shot him and
he replied; Mr. Hewtts intended son-in-
law shot me- was surprised. and asked
him il he was sure and he said: Yes,
am sure Mr.. Hewitt's intended son-in-law

BURNED A POSTMASTER OFT.
Residence and Store In Ot well. Ind. Set on
Fire as the Result OF Politics.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 13.-The residence
and general store Of Alonzo Mccormack
postmaster at Orwell. Pike county, were
set on fire at O'Clock this morning, and
both were entirely destroyed. Mr.. McCor-
mack and his family narrowly escaped
death.
The fires were undoubtedly of incendiary
origin, and it is believed that they resulted
from fight over the appointment OF Mr.
Mccormack az postmaster.
When he was recommended by Congress
man Hemcnway many citizens and lifelong
Republicans Of the place protested, but
Hemenway refused to make any other
recommendation, and Mccormack was
appointed. II il said that the postmaster
has been threatened secretly since he took
the office and that he has been on his guard
constantly through fear Of personal violence.
While the opposition to him has been
bitter, lie has had many friends among
the patrons of the Office, and two factions
have thus been created in the little town.
