A Decided Stand Said to Have Been Taken by Secretary Blaine. BUMORS AS TO A COMMISSION TO LOOK AFTER AMERICAN INTERESTS—A WASHINGTON MAN TALKED OF AS ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS, | _ There is a growing faith in the report that | Secretary Blaine has taken a decided stand in regard to the Haytian situation, and intends to ‘send a commission down to the islands on | board of an American man-of-war to keep a/ watchful eye on American interests there in | case Legitime succeeds in securing an alliance with some European power. THE BOSTON AND THE OSSIPER ORDERED TO HAYTI. Secretary Tracy admitted last evening that | he had decided to send the Boston and the Os- | | sipee to Hayti, but stated that the sending of | the ships was not done at the request of the | State department, but was merely for the pur- | pose of relieving the ships of the squadron, He said he knew nothing about the appoint- ment of commissioners to Hayti. AS TO THE COMMISSION, Gossip is busy constructing the commission, of which Representative Hitt was first said to be the head. Then there was a rumor that he had declined and that Gen. Lew Wallace would go in his place. A newspaper man said to-day that he had positive information that a place on the commission had been offered to a Wash- ingtonian who has an office next to that of the Attorney-General and possesses a fund of information as to Haytian affairs. Senator Eustis, in a recent interview, ex- pressed the fear that trouble was coming out of the Haytian situation, He said that the Haytians are still sore over the Haytian Repub- lic controversy, and will be inclined to do all in their power to harass the United States, THE PROBABLE COMMISSIONER, The gentleman referred to as being @ possible, even a probable commissioner | to Hayti, having an extensive acquaint- ance with Haytian affairs and occupying an office next to the Department of dustice, is Alex. Porter Morse, who was re- cently a referee in a case between the United States and Hayti. A Srar reporter intormed him this aftcrnoon that his name was being mentioned in this connection, —_ and MR, MORSE DECLARED that he really knew nothing about it, He said | that be had but a slight knowledge of the present situation, and was not able to talk about the question. In answer to a query as to whether it might be considered by other powers a hostile act for the United States to send a commission to Hayti, he said that he preferred not to give a definite reply, but cited the case of Mr. Mann, who was sent to Austria during the Austro-Hungarian difficulties as a | special commissioner from this country. The other governments, he said.made several sharp | inquiries as to the mission of this gentleman, which were finally satisfactorily answered, DIRECT TO GETTYSBURG. Proposed Railroad from this City to the Battle-Field. PRELIMINARY SURVEYS NOW IN PROGRESS—THE PROBABLE ROUTE OF THE LINE—THE SECTION OF MARYLAND IT WILL PASS THROUGH TO REACiI THIS DISTRICT. For some time past surveyors have been in the field in the region of Maryland to the north of this District. Preliminary surveys have been made for a new railroad, which, it is stated is to be built from Gettysburg, Pa., to to. this ci The parties interested in this sche aré “Said to be “Philad@iphians and it is claimed that they have a contract with the Pennsylvania road to operate the new road incase it should be built. The exact route | has not been announced, but it is said that it | will approach this city in the vicinity of Sandy Spring, Md., and then as it comes nearer to the boundary of the city it will branch off, and. passing around the ci tion with the Pennsylvania road somewhere beyond Benning. The trains on the new road can then come into the city over the regular line of the Pennsylvania road. THE PROPOSED ROUTE from Gettysburg passes through a portion of ‘yland which is without direct communica- tion with this city, It will pass throngh Car- roll county, crossing the Western Maryland some whe near V minster and the stem of the Baltimore and Ohio in the vicin of Mount Airy. It will also cross the Frederick division of the Pennsylvania road, Its further course will probably be through portions of the counties of Howard and Montgomery. ‘The new road will really be a continuation of the one between Carlisle and Gettysbarg, and will render unnecessary the long detour by way of York, Pa., which is now required in order to reach this city from Gettysburg. BUT LITTLE KNOWN ABOUT THE PROJECT, It is said that a brother-in-law of Jay Gould is interested in this project. There is really not much known about it. except that parties of surveyors are passing from one point to an- other in Marylun aaene surveys for a rail- road. The general understanding is that some such plan as outlined above is in con- templation and will be carried out. People living near Sandy Spring have been’ given to understand that the new road will pass near that place. They are naturally interested as they have been anxious for some time to se- cure direct and RAPID COMMUNICATION WITH THIS CITY, At the last session of Congress a bill was passed authorizing the formation of the Wash- ington and Sandy Spring Railroad company. The preliminary steps have been taken for the organization of a company, but those | interested in this enterprise state that! of course no active move will be made in the direction of building the road | until it is positively known whether this other | project — will be carried out. A road running between this city and Sandy Spring — it thought © wou!d have no chance for existence, with a parallel competing line operated by the Pennsylvania company and enjoying all the benefits of the connections and freight facilities of that great corporation, Suit Against the District. * Messrs. Birney & Birney, for Judge Wylie, has filed a suit in certiorari against the District to set aside two certificates of assessment for special improvements on property at the north- east corner of 14th and M streets northwest. hat he had paid two assess- ments on this property, and never had notice until recently of two other assessments. —— A Wife Granted a Divorce. To-day Judge Cox made a decree of divorce in the case ef Susan Ella Cassidy against Henry C. Cassidy.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 24.—Twenty-six years ago to-day some six hundred Alexandria soldiers left their homes, on the advance of the Union forces to occupy this city, and ninety- seven died on the battle-field or in camp during the war. The Alexandrians dedicated, to-da: & monument erected at the intersection of Prince and Washington streets to their memory and inscribed with their names, The occasion of the dedication was made a public holiday in the city. The schools and public offices were closed, and during part of the day a suspension of business was made, Many stores, shops and dwellings were deco- rated with flags and hangings. and the strects were thronged with men, women and children interested in the celebration, The monument had been erected by Lee camp of confederate veterans, and the celebration was made under their auspices, but they were ably seconded and supported in all the arrangements by acitizens’ committee headed by the mayor of the cit; Many days had been spent in the preparation touches to the engines. devices, arms, flags and the like that were to appear im the procession. ‘The various associations of the city were at their meeting places by 10 o'clock, and some time was spent in escorting the visitors—Maury cd which came by the Alexandria and Fredericksburg railroad, and Clinton Hatch’s camp, which came by the Washington and Ohio railroad—to their headquarsers at McBurney’s hall. The Maryland Confederate army and uavy society was also met at the wharf and es- corted to McBurney’s hall, where they reported to Col. Arthur Herbert. The Baltimore Pythians were carried to Paff’s hall. The Wash- ington military, on their arrival, marched to the Light Infantry armory on Royal street.

Arriving atthe monument the officers, in- vited guests, &c., filled the stand which had been erected. The crowd was called to order and came to as much order as street crowds usu- ally do. The solemn music, “tin memory eternal” from Bach. was then given by the Marine band. Rev. George $t. Norton, formerly confederate chaplain, then offered prayer. Capt. Raleigh I, Daniel, dn the part of the artist, delivered the monument to the care of Lee camp. Capt. Daniel said that this gathering was intended to commemorate the deeds of heroes whose memory is circumscribed by the narrow cir- cle of personal acquaintance and local tradition. He dwelt upon the glories of the unknown Who knows the names of those that perished at ee, Where is the muster-roll of Valley Forge? Where the roster of Yorktown?

The national colors were displayed by thousands im all sec- tions of the city, and red, white and blue adorned the Marshall house, where Ellsworth and Jackson were killed. THE CONFEDERATE FLAG hung over the dome of the veteran reception rooms on King street and a few houses were decorated with the red, white and red of the late confederate states. Clinton Hatcher camp, of Leesburg, wore badges with the state and confederate flags crossed.

Tne Eveste Star, As the issues before the Special Cable Dispatch Loxpox, May Parnell court are b litical the atmosphere becomes more heated, Yesterday was as much charged with electricity as the atmosphere outside, There was a scene of intense passion when O'Brien insisted on de- claring that he honored the Manchester mar- tyre and objected to the attorney-general call- ing them murderers, Davitt and Parnell, losing their habitual control, called out audi- bly, “Hear! Hear!” and every Irishman honors them, JUDGE HANNEN WAS FURIOUS. He said he insisted on them being called mur- derers in his court, and would order out any one, whoever he might be, who again said “Hear! Hear!” This incident was made the more piquant by a fact which has curiously es- caped attention, that Hannen was in 1867 junior counsel of the treasury, and as such he prose- cuted in the Manchester case. The passion of the proceedings in court found vent in Parnell’s speech in the evening to the delegates of Irish corporations, He said that the tribunal was not fair or compe- tent to decide the issues and the verdict of his- ss fae were ignorant of the history of Ire- land, knew nothing of Irish character, and were averse to Irish aspirations, by education, birth, and feeling, and therefore could not {girly decide the political issues, THJS. BEMABKABLY OUTSPOKEN DECLARATION marks the growing conviction of political prejudice in the judges. The trath of Parnell’s view of English ignorance and Irish feelings is curiously shown by to-day’s Standard, which writes in an article announcing as if it was new the discovery that O'Brien actually honors men who attempted a Fenian rescue, zppar- ently ignorant that the Irish national anthem is Sullivan's poem, “God Save Ireland,” written in honor of the Manchester martyrs, which for twenty years has been sung wherever two or three Irish patriots gathered togother.

Determined Resistance Expected on the Olphert Estates. disputes Lonpox, May 24.—Advices from Ireland state that hard times are expected to-day on the Olphert estates in County Donegal. The ten- ants are prepared to resist the evictors. and news is expected shortly of a determined fight. there. If any biood is shed to-day Mr. T. W. Russell, the unionist, who persuaded Mr. Ol- phert not to arbitrate in regard to the rental disputes, may thank himself for the havoc he has wrought. HOUSING THE WORKING CLASSES. The national press agency has published a pamphlet from the pen of Ms. Theodore Tood on the subject of the proper housing of the working classes. It is by far the best and most simple treatise yet poviishea on this subject, and will, it is hoped, give an impetus to the bill Mr. Reid has before parliament providing for the building of workmen's dwellings by corporations by means of levying a penny in the pound upon owners of ground rents. A FOREIGN PENNY Post. Mr. Hennicker-Heaton, conservative member of parliament for Canterbury, still continues his agitation for a foreign penny post. He is engaged =“ [present in upholding the rights of the Anglo- nm at large, toa penny postage. It is rather an anomaly that postage to Iudia should still be five pence, and an absurdity that so many firms in France, because the | half as much as from for the present bi postage there is only ngland. The reason — ‘ate is that no chancellor of the exchequer face the increased ex- nditure such a plan would at first involve. . Heaton insists that in a short time the in- creased mail would cover the additional ex- pense of a reduction in the rate. IMMIGRATION IN EAST INDIA.

This information was given to the police by Mr. Sul- livan and the facta corroborated by the neigh- bors. A reporter visited the owners of the cottage, a Mr. and Mrs, Carson, two aged Swedes, but they refused to talk about | ing they would tell their story to the pol: | young woman living at Mr. Sullivan's said that | about three weeks ago, one Sunday night, she saw a light in the house, but as far as she knew | no one has been seen there since It is said t the parties who rented the place were two young men, evidently Irish workingmen, and that they said they were going to work for Mr. Sullivan. It is not improbable that the cottage was hired by the assassins of Dr. Cronin, and | he was decoyed to it, murdered there, and then the body taken away in the trank, A MYSTERIOUS FINGER FOUND. | While the catch basin in which the body of | Dr. Cronin was discovered was being dragged | by two reporters for the Inter-Ocean yesterday afternoon among other things found was the end of a finger, with the nail and a long piece of white skin attached. The nail is tapering and well kept and has the appearance of hav- ing come from the hand of a woman, At first it was the belief of every one whosaw the piece of finger that ithadcome from one ot Dr. Cronin’s hands.

The finger | might have been tangled up in the cotton and | thrown into the basin with the body of Dr, | Cronin, Facts in the case may yet discover to the people another horrible murder. WHAT CHARLEY LONG Sa¥s, A News special from Toronto says: Charley Long, the young man who claims to have seem | and interviewed Dr. Cronin in this city, was asked last night what he thought of the matter since the finding of the doctor's body. He still | maintains the correctuess of his story, and say | that when the times comes he will go to Chi- cago and vindicate his position. He claims to have had a three years’ intimacy with Cronm and to have conversed with him. His theory is that after his visit to Toronto Crouin returned | to Chicago and was murdered. He went over | the circumstances of his meeting Cronin on May %tb, and also on the following Saturday, and tells a very plausible story of the alleged interview. With regard to the insinua- | tion that he was a tool in the hands of Cronin's | murderers to throw the authorities off the scent Loug utterly repudiates the charges, and claims that any who knows him will not believe bim capable of such business, EX-MINISTER BONFIELD'S VIEWS. In the course of an interview on the Cronin case ex-Police Inspector John Bonfield said: | “From all we know of the case it is safe to say | that it was either a political assassination or the result of some private cause, was a member of a society that was split up into two factions, and the leaders of one fac- | tion wanted him removed, does it seem prob- able that they | would | dare such a thing while so many close friends who would be a to know all that he knot Killing } would not bury the truth.
