Orrawa, Oxt., July 1.—The deputy minister of justice denies the report that extradition proceedings in the case of Burke would be complicated because the latter is a British subject. All the evidence the ju or magistrate presiding uires in Burke's, as in a case where extradition is requested, is that which would justify him in commit him for trial had the crime been commi in Canada, —— DILLON LEAVES CHICAGO. He 1s Said to be Much Put Out by the Developments in the Cronin Case. Cutcaco, July 1.—Luke Dillon left this city last evening for his home in Philadelphia. The News this morning says: Mr. Dillon has been very much disgruntled of late over the develop- ments in the Cronin case, especially that part of it which tended to show that Cronin’s death was decreed by the Clan-na-Gael. This was the lest straw. For some time the police have entirely ig- nored Dillon and have had little faith in his ions that he was assisting in ferreting out the doctor’s murderers. There are very many who firmly believe that the chairman of the executive committee of the Clan-na-Gael came to and remained in Chicago for no other purpose than to defend the Clan-na-Gael and to do all in his power to keep the real facts in the conspiracy from coming out, if they tended to show that the society murdered Cronin. A POLICEMAN WARNED. Cxrcaco, July 1.—Officer Jesse D. Moore, of the Harrison-street pclice station, who gave testimony in the Cronin coroner's inquest, and who is, by the way, an Amorican, is the recipient of a arning which may be more serious than his friends think. Moore was banded a note while on beat on Madison streeta few nights ago about 9:30 o'clock, The boy who gave it to him took to his heels and was lost in the gloom of Franklin street before the officer could make a move. The note reads as follows: “Sir: If you know what is best for yourself _ will quit the police force immediately. ‘our every move is being watched by friends of Alexander Sullivan. Cian-NA-GaEL.” Moore felt somewhat anxious over the com- munication, but he did not show it to the chief. Several nights since the letter was sent Moore has noticed people following and shad- owing him while he was traveling his beat, but he is not worrying much over it. — LATE NEWS FROM CHINA. Destructive Storms in Hong Kong— Great Damage and Loss of Life. San Fraxcrsco, July 1.—The steamer City of Rio de Janeiro arrived late last night from Hong Kong and Yokohama, One of the most destructive rain-storms in the history of Hong Kong occurred May 29 and 30. The total rain- fall for thirty-three hours was 2914 inches, at one time the fall measuring nearly 3 inches per hour. Hong Kong papers do not venture to estimate the loss to private property, such as residences, stores, &c., but place an estimated Joss to the public property at about $200,000, Scarcely a house within an area of 82 square miles did not suffer. All the roads and streets in the colony were turned into mud heaps and innumerable shops and dwellings were flooded. Most oer minute during the storm the vivid flashes of lightning lit up the streets which were seen more to resemble the bed of a river than the roads in the center of the town, The water-pipes burst at every corner; the roads were out up almost beyond recognition, and the level roads were piled with the earth and loosened stones and debris of the upper streets 80 as to be impassable, EIGHT MEN WERE KILLED BY THE LIGHTNING in mat shed, One Chinaman was killed by the falling in of a mat shed. On one street a man and boy were drowned in a flooded honse. In one district a house collapsed, burying several people, four of whom were seriously or fatally injured. One man was drowned in the street and another drowned in @ house while it was being borne by the cur- rent through the streets. Fifteen lives in all are known to have been lost when the steamer sailed for America, The storm temporarily shut off the large Tytam water supply, and the lower portion of the town is still suffering from serious dearth of drinking water. The week after the storm the city presented an appear- ance of having suffered a subterranean up- heaval and subsidence. During the first part of the week little progress was made with the work of removing debris. Loud complaints therefore arose about the serious danger to health to which citizens were exposed by thu choking of the drains, and the government was forced to call in the aid of the military. — THEY FOUGHT TO A FINISH.

Curcaco, July 1.—Frank Wade,of Milwaukee, and Harry Miller, of Chicago, fought to a finish for a purse of $300 at 4 o'clock yes- terday morning, back of Douglas k.

A Mystery About Enoch Turner’s Death Not Yet Fully Solved. ‘THE CONFLICTING TESTIMONY AT THE INQUEST TO-DAY—STRONG INDICATIONS THAT JAMES SHARP 18 THE MURDERER—THE EXAMINATION TO BE CONTINUED. Saturday night about 11 o'clock a pistol shot was fired in the neighborhood of a frame house at 17th andB streets northeast, where Hetty Green, a colored woman, lives and keeps a sort of baron the “moonshine” principle. The neighborhood is dark and lonely, with wide stretches of commons between the scattered tenements. When the police arrived there they found lying on the ground near the door of Hetty’s house the body of a young colored man named Enoch Turner with a pis tol-wound in his left temple, which, it is thought, caused death almost instantly. Around it were groupeds number of colored people, none of whom could or would tell anything about the shoot- ing. During the night several arrests were made, but little was learned. The prisoners taken were Rose Wingfield, Hetty Green and her daughter, Fanny Williams, and Chas, Daniels, Early nant morning a young colored man named James Sharps, who worked with Turner in Childs’ brick-yard, was arrested on informa- tion that Sharpsand Turner were together at the time of the shooting. The police thought that there was little doubt that S: was im- plicated in the shooting THE INQUEST. Coroner Patterson held an inquest in the case at sixth precinct station at 11 o'clock thismorn- ing. The prisoners were brought down from the ninth precinct in a patrol wagon. Turner’s body lay ona pak in the morgue in the rear of the station-house, When the jury arrived they were sworn as is customary, over the body of the dead man. Then they assembled in Lieut, Kelly's room where Coroner Patterson sat at the desk and presided over the 1 a tae The jury was composed of M. J. Morgan, Patrick Cusick, George Prather, John Holmes, Geo, H. Gill and Bushrod Hay. ALEXANDER KING'S STORY. The first witness was a colored man named Alexander King, who lives at 14th and East Capitol streets. He said he was at “Aunt” Hetty’s about ten minutes of 10 o’clock Satur- day night. Witness was talking with Aunt Hetty’s daughter, Frances Williams, He re- mained there till about 11 _ o'clock, Five or ten minutes after 11 three men went past the front door, where the witness was sitting, and passed around to the back door of the house, Two of them entered the house and one of them re- mained outside. The two inside called for something to drink. “Aunt” Hetty said: “I haven't any” or “I ain't got a bit.” “One of the men inthe house said to the man outside: “Come in.” Then the same man said to Aunt Hetty: “I have got the five cents for my break- fast, but I haven't got wy breakfast yet,” and with that pulled out his tive cents, Just then the shot was fired. Neither of the men inside could have fired it, Witness could not see the man who was outside. It was dark in the room and witness could not see the faces of the men inside. When the shot was fired the two men inside ran out and he heard one say ‘‘Who was that shot?” and ‘Did you shoot him?” He understood some one to say “Yes.” Wituess then hurried out to see what = was the matter, but the men had gone around the front and disappeared. Witness saw Sharp five or ten minutes before the shooting, in front of the house, talking with Rose Wingfield. Rose came in the house to put up a stick she had and went out again to Sharp, and while she was out the shot was fired, Sharp cam» in the house after the shot was fired, and said: “There, they have shot that man to death,” The light was put out and witness went home. Aunt Hetty wanted him to help move the body, but witness said he wouldn't do it for twenty dollars. He got away from the house and hurried home. ‘The man’s body was lying right at the back doo. Witness thought from the way he fell that he was sitting on the bench there when shot. Witness did not know that Turner, the deceased, and Rose were intimate or ever went together. Witness did not know of Sharp and Turner ever having had a quarrel, ROSE WINGFIELD'S TESTIMONY, Rose Wingfield, a young colored woman, who lives at 17th and East Capitol streets, was next examined. She said she got to Hetty Green's house Saturday night about 9 o’clock. Charles Daniels, Hetty Green, Francis Williams and King, or Larkin, as he was called, were there, She did not know of any one coming afterward. She left and went down to- ward the river to John Scott's, She went alone, and was away about half an hour. On returning she met Sharp in front of Hetty Green's door, She did not see Turner, Wit- ness talked with Sharp awhile. Then witness went down to the pump to meet a man, but did not see him. Then she returned to Hett Green's and went into the house. and immedi- ately after she went in the shot was fired. Witness staid inside, she said, five minutes, and when she went’ out she saw Sharp by the side of a house, strike a match, and by the light of the match she saw him put a pistol in his pocket. The witness said he struck a match so he could see the dead man. Sharp then went away. The witness said when she went into the house she went by the back door, or what she called the back door. ‘This was the door that King called the front door, WHAT AUNT HETTY SAID, Hetty Green, an elderly colored woman, a little fleshy, with » coppery-colored face like an Indian squaw, was examined next, She wore a black straw hat, with a wide brim anda band cf crimson velvet. She said Rose came to the house about 10 or 10.30. She wanted witness to take care of some meat and bread for her because she said she was not going home that night, but was going to stay atold man Holland’s She said Sharp came by the house and asked where Rose was and she told him she had just gone down the street. She thought he went after her, and they came back to the house to- ether. itness said sho was lying down in a doze when the shot was fired. She got up and just then Kose came into the house and witness asked her: “Who is that shot?” She said: HE don’t know, but two men have just gone’ down the _ street.” When witness went outdoors she saw Jim Sharp and asked him, “Did you shoot that man?” and he said, “No, indeed.” Rose was not in the house when the shot was fired. The witness said she thought what King said about the two men coming into the house and for drinks was true, but she was in a doze ani could not remember what occurred, She said Rose was no more intimate with Turner than with others, Rose, the witness said, told her that the man who fired the shot had gone down the street. She said he was a dark man and measured with her hand to show how tall he was, Dr. Schaeffer, who performed the described the course of the ball through the left temple and through the brain, The ball was lodged on the right side, near the base of the brain.
