Cmtcaco, Dec, 21.—Evidence was adduced before the coroner's jury inquiring into the cause of death of Dr. Cronin that he had been expelled from the Clan-na-Gael on a charge of treason, The charge was made by Dani Brown, at that time a policeman, Daniel Coughlin was a member of the trial committee which expelled the doctor, The charge of treason was based on the reading of report of a committee appoiuted in Dr. Cronin’s camp to investigate a report from the district delegates in the Clan-na-Gael conven- tion of 1884 to the camps. Dr. Cronin’s com- mittee chi the convention with making unwarranted changes in the constitution of the order and the executive boay with a waste of ite funds, Dr. Cronin read the report,which he himself had prepared. What purports to be a copy of that report is made public here. Ite object is to refute the assertion that he was a dynamiter. The following are pertinent ex- tracts from the report: “But what concerns us more than aught else is the disclosure that the governing bodies of the X.R.B. and V.C. are not working unitedly, but are pursuing widely different policies. We find that $123,000 has been paid to the R. D., which, of course, means the American members of the body, and that is the portion which ‘favors action.’ What are we to understand by favoring ‘action? Is it the policy of explo- sion? of ,*pending large sums of money on failures?” —_———__ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, New York Stock Market. ‘The following are the opening and closing prices of the New York Stock Matket, us reported by special Wire to Corson aud Macartney, 1410 F street: Washington Stock Exchange, Government Bonds—U, 8. 43ys, 18V1, registered, 104% did, 04 105 .
