RUSSELL’S GREAT SPEECH is published to-day in book form and makes a fat octavo volume of 600 pages similar to Mr. Bryce's book. BISMARCK’S LETTER complimenting Capt. Murrell on his bravery in rescuing the crew of the Danmark excites attention, He speaks the general opinion of all seafaring nations in praising Murrell. This probably explains his writing in a matter seem- ingly of no concern to the Germans, The em- peror is very anxious to promote Germany's position as a naval power. Bismarck thus seizes the opportunity of posing as a seafaring nation. JUBILEE PLUNGER'S BOOK.

She Must Welcome the Emperor of Ger- many and the Shah of Persia. Loxpox, May 25.--With two such undesira- ble visitors a8 the Shah of Persia and Emperor William of Germany to make welcome the anxiety of the queen is easy to conceive, Cordially detesting her grandson and looking with a well-founded abhorrence upon the aggregation of dirt and diamonds upon the eastern ruler, the crusty old lady will still be compelled to curb her temper and re- ceive the aforesaid potentates with a pretense of cordiality. A passage at arms has occurred between her andthe marquis of Salisbury as to whether the expense of entertaining the shah and the considerable sum which must be expended in effacing the traces of the presence of himself and suite shall be paid by the nation or come from her own purse. So serious was the conflict that it was thought ad- visable out of regard for her majesty’s health to pretend to yield the point and avoid un- seemly debate. THE WELSH DISSENTERS are much encouraged by the increased vote cast by the favorers in parliament of disestab- lishment in Wales. It should not be very difti- cult, in view of the success gained in Ireland, to obtain the twenty-eight votes necessary to the result at the next division upon the bill, but the clergy of the entire country are aronsed at the danger of a future calamity happening in England, and they will guard the outworks of their fortress to the last extremity. The number of tracts and pamphlets circulat- ed dari ig the last two years calling the attention of the religiously inclined to the danger the church is in from the assaults of the enemies of christianity, as they term them, is enormous, and they ‘have not been without effect. Many predict that if Welsh disestablishment takes place in less than five ears it will come as the result of bloodshed etween the authorities and the Welsh people, who, to tell the truth, do not care HOW 800N THE CRISIS COMES, The clergy as a body have also takena firm stand against cremation as one of the insid- eous methods by which it is sought to under- mine the church and hasten to protest against it on every possible occasion, The town council of Middlesborough were encouraged by the reception of their protest against fur- ther interments within their boundaries, upon strictly sanitary grounds, but the clericals of the vicinity and their supporters will proba- bly defeat the pro) substitution of cremation for burial, typhus or no typhus, The stamping out of the projected change in the method of disposing of the dead as heathen- ish, and especially un-aglish, will. most likely defeat itin the present state of the insular mind to the great comfort of the conservative element.

He is Believed to be Connected with Dr. Cronin’s Murder. A STARTLING CRAIN OF FACTS, GOING TO SHOW THAT THE DOCTOR WAS LURED To BI® DEATH BY THE DETRCTIVE’S “ FRIEND” —THE STABLE STORY OF THE WHITE HORSE AND BUGOY. Curcaco, May 25.—The Times this morning says: The Times within the last twenty-four hours has come into possession of a most im- Portant and most startling chain of facts. The white horse and the buggy, which carried the man who lured Dr. Cronin to his death, have been discovered, and the man who ordered this rig, according to the story of the per, is a detective in the employ of the Chicago police force, and his name is Daniel Coughlin. On the morning of Saturday, May 4, Coughlin called at the livery stable of Patrick Dinan, at 260 North Clark street, and gave notice that a “friend” would call about 7 o'clock that evening and that he was to be given a horse and baggy. That evening aman called, was given the white horse and a buggy and about 7:15 o'clock the man left the stable with the rig and dreve north on Clark street. According to Frank Scanlon it was five minutes th fter when the stranger drove to 470 North Clark street, and informed Dr. Cronin that he WAS WANTED AT SULLIVAN'S ICE-OUBE. Dinan says the man asked for a buggy with side curtaims, but he had none to give him, The white horse and the buggy were returned to the stable by Coughlin’s friend at 9:30, or | just two hours and fifteen minutes after they | had been hired. Mr, Dinan describes the man | as being about thirty-five years of age, and of ordinary height and build. He had a week's growth of beard on his face and wore a soft telt hat with a narrow turned up brim, Mr. Dinan says he thought nothing more of the matter until Monday morning, when the papers began to publish Dr. Cronin’s mysterious dis- appearance and the peculiar connection of a white horse and a buggy with the sensation, Then he became suspicious of the trip his own white horse made under the guide of Detective Coughlin’s “friend.” Hie went at once to the East Chicagofavenueptationtte tell Capt. Schaal of the curious coincidence. He found Detec= tive Coughlin who took him aside and CAUTIONED HIM NOT TO SAY ANYTHING about the affair of Saturday night, because, not | being on good terms with Dr. Cronin, some | people might think he had something to do with the disappearance. Mr. Dinan was still uneasy. He told Captain Schaak his story, and insisted that a full report be made to Ch Hubbard. But becoming suspicious that the report had not be made he called on the chief himself. The matter is being investigated, and Chief Hubbard said last night that unless Coughlin could make a satisfactory explauation he would lock him up DR. CRONIN'S SERIOUS CHARGES. The charges that Dr. Cronin and his friends made against Alexander Sullivan, Michael Bol- land and Denis C, Feely, the triumvirate that acted asa board of directors for the United | Brotherhood, are stronger than mere embez- ziement of funds and malfeasance in ofice. | There was a charge not long ago brought against the members of this board that they had not only misappropriated large «ums of the money subscribed for the good of the Irish national movement in the old country, butalso that they or some of them. either intentionally or otherwise, allowed secrets of the order to . resulting im the imprisot ut of ries of the Clan- iacl and the death of two on British soil, The charges are said to have been based merely on suspicion, but Dr. Cronin was said been very active in the accumulation of testimony calculated to corroborate these suspicions, In adJision to this and more sensational than all is the undoubted fact that in the possession of Dr. Cronin was an affidavit made by a well- known Irish-American that he heard one of the parties interested in these and other dis- closures say that Dr. Cronin must be put out The name of the man who made ent is in the possession of the state's and a warrant for bis arrest may be looked for at any moment. THE MILK-DEALER’S STORY. William Mertes, a milk dealer, who lives on Woodside avenue, near Addison, tells a story. which, in view of the fact that it has been det initely settled that Dr. Cronin was murd an Carlson cottage, has an important bearing on the investigator Two weeks ago last Sun- day night between dand 9 o'clock Merte left his house to visit the grocery at the corn of Ashland avenue and Otto street, which is only a short distance south of the Carlson cot- tage. As he neared the Carlson cottage a buggy containing two men drove up to the side of the ditch, One the men, whom Mertes describes as a tall and apparently ath- letic man sprang from the buggy and ran up the front stairs of the cottage, the door of which was thrown open before he even kuocked tor admission. Scarcely had the door closed again when be heard the sound of loud and angry voices within the cottage. The man in the buggy then whipped his horse into a gallop, drove to Addison avenue, and then turned im the direction of the lak Mertes was unable to describe the man in the buggy, as his face was partly concealed by the brim of a soft hat, He thinks the horse was « light sorrel. THE MURDEREES NOT RESIDENTS OF CHICAGO. The Herald this morning says: Yesterdey’ developments given point to the belief that the murderers are not and may never have been revdents of Chica On the con- trary there is some reason to suppose that his slayers crossed the water from England with designs on his life, and that, as soon Zo. as they completed their work they made their escape. It will be remembered that one T. J. Kirby, a native of Can ne to Chicago last year from London, England.on a secret mission for the London Zimes. Kirby knew Cronin when he lived at St. Catherines, Ont.; when he came to Chicago he renewed his acquaintance with the doctor. It is known that the two met frequently in Chicago when Kirby was doing spy work for the London Zimes, The coynee: tion is suggestive to say the least. When the British spy Lecaron was on the witness stand im the Parnell case he refused to give the names of his American accomplices on the ground that it would be as much as their lives were worth to be known. Lecaron was ordered by the bench, however, to furnish the name or named privately to the prosecuting council, which he did. Might it not be thata detachment of the band that followed Carey to his death followed Cronin to his cruel tate STUPIDITY IF NOTHING WORSE. Further investigation into the hiring of the white horse by Detective Coughlin only adda to the evidence of the stupidity if nothing worse with which the case has been handled by some of the police officials. Capt. Schaack, under whose orders Detective Coughlin acts, says that when the livery stabl keeper told’ him the story be at once called Coughlin to account: ‘that Coughlin told him that he had hired the rig for a friend of his who lived in Northe: Michigan, near where Coughilin's people liv and who had come to Chicago to see the sights, CAPT. SCHAACK SAYS that he then directed Detectives Coughlin and Whalen to go out and find this man; that they went out and soon afterward reported that they had found him and that he had given a satisfactory account oi himself, The captain admits that he accepted this statement as sufficient and did not require that the man be brought before him. Captain Schaack goes on to say that he took the white horse and drove to Conkling’s house under conditions similar to those under which Dr. Cronin was decoyed away, and that Mrs. Conkling said it was not the same animal, MRS. CONKLING CONTRADICTS THIS STATEMENT, and says that she told Capt. Schaack that i® resembled the animal behind which Dr. Cro- nin drove away, but that it appeared to be used up from hard driving. Mr. Dinan, the livery stable keeper, says that the horse was driven very hard that night, and has not recovered from the effects of it since then. Dinan then further says Coughlin told him that he had walked his shoes off in the search for his Michigan friend, but had been unable to find him. This directly contradicts the statement attributed to him by it. Schaack, tective hlin declines to make ang statement about matter. ————__
