"EIGHTEENTH YEAR. NUMBER 35 THE DEAD AND TAE CRATEFUL How Amerioa Remembered Her Bleeping Defenders. LOVE AND TEARS FOR THE BLUE. Tears and Love For the Gray—The Day at Washington, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Chicago and New Yorl. The Day at New York. New York, May 80.—Though the early morning did not give promise of a fair day, yet it could not be said to be a very unpleas- ant prospect. Rain fell gnly lightly and at irregular intervals, while as the morn- ing wore on the rain ceased entirely and the sun at times broke through the clouds. All public buildings displayed their flags at half mast, but there was a very meagre dis- play of bunting elsewhere 'except at the hotels and newspaper offices. The points of vantage along the line were taken up by sightscers at an early hour, and the review- ing stands were well filled before the parade started. The parade was reviewed by Gov- ernor Hill, Vice President Morton and Mavyor Grant. After the parade the members of the G. A. R. went to the various ceme- teries and decorated the graves. U. S. Grant post of the G. A. R. arranged its memorial services to-day as heretofore at General Grant’s tomb in Riverside park. At tiie entrance to the tomb a floral arch was erected, bearing the inscription, ‘‘Enshrined in the hearts of his countrymen.” Above that was a shield with the national colors, wiso of flowers, and this was _sur- mounted by a floral cross with the Grand Army motto, “F. C. L.” 'The interior of the tomb was a mass of flowers and evergreens, 80 %rsat as to completely hiae the casket. Chang Yen Hoom, the Chinese plen ipoten- tiary at Washington, sent a floral device bearing his name, Many G. A. R. and other organizations also sent more floral decorations. On the leftside of the tomb a platform was erected, on which exercises were held. About five thousand people surrounded and_occupied the enclosure 1n frout of it. The Rev. J. M. Buckley, D. D., L. L. D., delivered the ora- tion. The Seventy-first regiment fired a sulute, and Chaplain Rev. Judson Gallagher closed with a prayer. The United States man-of-war, Galen. ley in the river below the tomb, and fire five-minute guns during the services, and a salute of twenty-one guns at the close. A Row at Chicago. CureAco, May 30.—[Special Telogram to T Bee. |—During the parade, to-day, there was a rude row between Grand Army men, who had the work in charge, and two repre- sentatives of the Old Soldiers’ and Sailors’ association, which nearly resulted in crime. Just as the crowd was gathering, Post Com- mander McDonald, of Meade post, of Engle- wood, who was in charge of the soldiers' plat in front of the grand stand, was ap- proached by Captain W. H. Mahouey and his brother, H. W. Mahoney, of the Old Sol- diers’ and Swlors' association, bearing o large floral offering, on which ‘was inscribed: *‘In memory of the Old Soldiers’ and Sailors’ associdtion, Camp Douglas.” It wus the sig- nol for a rumpus. The Mahoneys were *‘diskonorably discharged” from the Grand Army, it is said, and organized the Ola Sol- diers’ and Sailors’ association in a spirit of rivalry. “You can’t bring that in here,” said Mc-: Donald. & “The — you say; and why?” asked Ma- oney. _““lecause these ave Grand Army grounds,” MeDonald. Well, we'll take it in, or there will be sowe dead men around here,” revlied one of the brothers. They then set down the floral piece and there was a scuffie, but the men were sepa- rated, and while some parties who gathered were engaging McDonald, the Mahoney brothers rushed in and deposited the floral piece. There were no attempts to remove it. although threats were made, and McDonald ‘was told that if he touched it he wouid be a ud man, He wisely refrained. The arri- »f o crowd and guard put an ond to the quarrel, which has, however, tereated an in- tenscly bitser feeling, and may result in further rows. e s At Brooklyn. Brookryy, N.

He Has Complete Confidence In‘the Honesty and Innocence of the Ex-President of the Leagne —A Detective's Theory. 3 1s It Jealousy ? Cn1eaco, May 80,—A statement will be printed to-morrow that Alexander Sullivan has engaged A. S, Trude as counsel, and that within the last three days the two have had frequent consultations. A reporter calied on Mr, Trude this evening and asked him about the matter. “Oh, I have known Alex since he was a reporter,” said Trude, “'and 1 have been con- sulted by him. He knows nothing about this Cronin affair, This is @& question of tajlpulling. You see, every Irish- man is trying to twist the British lion’s tail, and in their ardor they get jealous and jump on each other. In the Philadelphia convention the greatest Irish intellects clashed. Alexander Sullivan came out on top, electing Henry Sheridan dele- gate. This made Sullivan a mark for the jealousy of every prominent Irishman who did not belong to his party. W. J. Hynes, of Chicago, used to be a friend of Sullivan, but the Philadelphia victory cost him his friend- ship., This time is seized upon by his enemios to ruin him, but there will be a reaction.” In talking of the alleged diversion of the funds of the Clan-na-Gael, or United Broth- erhood, Mr. Trude said: “That has been explained a dozen times, and in five minutes any impartial man can understand that Mr. Sullivan has been as clear from misdoing as a sunbeam. Mr. Sullivan, when seen by a reporter, said he had not formally retained Mr. Trude, but had counselled with him as a friend. A DETECTIVE'S THEORY. The Daily News this evening prints a con- versation with a detective whose name 1s not given, who has been watching the case closely. He thinks the three men now in jail know all about the murder ana could give the police the right clues, but they never can be convicted on the evidence now 1n the possession of the state's attorney. One of them must squeal, and he argues that it lies be- tween Sullivan and Woodruff to do this. The detective thinks Coughlin made the ar- rangements for the murder, To Sullivan was entrusted the work of fixing up the con- tract with Cronin. The hiring of all the rigs Coughlin attended to himself, He first met ‘Woodruff, whom he knew to be a crook and always ready for any shady transaction. He did not confide anything to him, merely tell- ing him that he wanted some work done, and then made the dicker with Dinan for the rig which his friend was to call for. The men known as Williams did all thewr own work, the hiring of the l:oanfie and the buying of furniture. The deteclive thinks that al- though there were perhaps twenty persons in the conspiracy, only two or three besides the actual murderers knew that Cronin’s life wus to be taken. “*Will the murderers ever be brought to justice! " said the reporter. 3 “1 think the chances are five to one against the police. With the evidence thus far ob- tained there can be.no.convictions. I isn't at all hkely that the.men who comuiitted the crime itself are in Chicago or even in the country. They had ample time to get out of the country. Ihave another theory not as tenable as the drst one. It may have been there was no society conspiracy at all. It is possible Suliivan got some woman into trouble. Cronin became acquainted with with the facts, which were damaging to the ice man. ‘The latter, knowing the strict moral and religious principles of the doctor, and urged on by the fear that the physician would inform the authorities, made a con- tract with the doctor which lured him to his death, I can not but think Woodruff’s story about a woman has some foundation in fact.’ A reporter afterwards talked with Chief Hubbard about Lis theory. “Yes,” admitted Hubbard, “we have a man working on that feature of the murder. Sullivan is a bachelor, and it 18 not unlikely he may have gotlen some woman into trouble, " What connection this may have with the murder we don’t know. Idon’t piace much reliance in the theory.” A RUMORED FIND. It is rutored that the police, in their further search, to-day, of the itage in which Dr. Cronin was murdered, found a pick and other ice tools, presumea to have been the property of I, O. Sullivan, the ice dealer, The authorities are reticent as to the result of to-duy’s investigations and refuse to uffirm or deny this ruwor. The theory is advanced that it wus with blows from these instruments that Dr. Cronin was 80 foully murdered, but_when it is remem- bered that the notable discovery oi the post- mortem examination was that the skull was in no place fractured, this conjecture does not appear reasonable. The tools to-day dis- covered are understood to have n hidden partly under the ground and in a rubbish reap in an out room or shed adjoining the cottage. The greatest importance is attached to this discovery, as it is construed into crowning evidence of Ice Dealer Sullivau's complicity in the murder. CRONIN'S CLOTHES FOUND, The rumor circulated early in the after- noon that the police had succeeded in finding the clothes of Dr. Cronin. This appears to have been not without Little credence was _at to this report, but Lieutenant Ross was the authority that Cronin's clothes were really found this afternoon and recog- d as the property of the murdered man, nference is drawn that they were found ullivin’s house, as a squad of ives are known to huve devoted nearly 1l of to-day iu searching the premises of the ice dealer. Tne ofticer in charge of the squad, in response 1o casual mquiries, stated thut &t that time no discoverics bud been made, but Chief Hubbard, when confronted with the later report to-night. refused to either afirm or deny the statcment that the murdered man's apparel had been found. As the au- thorities have usually lost no time in de- nouncing unfounded rumors, the conclusion is that to-day bas ut least witnessed the dis- closure of one valuable clue to the mystery that surrounds the fate of the wmurdered doctor, ANOTHER ARKEST. Another arrest was maae to-night. The xollcu think the man may be the one who rove the white-horse rig which carriea Dr, Cronin to his death, The arrest was made in a lodgiwg house, the records of which show that on the night of the murder, the man did not put in an ap- pearance until after miduight. He hus ex- {:reuod the fear numberof times since that o would get into trouble in the Cronin mat- ter, and tried to persuade the clerk to chuuge the record. He is known only by the so- briquet of *Mack.” Chicago's Estimate of Long. Onicaao, May 80.—[Special Telegram to Pue Bee.|—It has developed that Reporter Long, who sent the sensutional dispatches from Toronto iu regard to the presence of Dr, Cronin in thau city eudeavored at that time to Impose his fake on all the prominent papers of Chicago. The peculiar festure of his imposition, however, was that o every instance his proffered information was pre- faced by u request for exorbitant remunera tion. For instance, to one paper he tele- graphed: “Do you want 500 words good matter on Dr. Cronin—$10." his or & similar dispatch simultaneously to every leading paper o! Chicago, and the theory s advanced that perhaps, after all, youug was seut ng’ mation for the purpose of mnk!ng money o many papers as possible by the barter of a well-coficocted story, pertinent to the market and the occasion, but absolutely without foundation, 'The gravity of the offense aj pears now for the first time to be fully ap- preciated by the young Canadian sensation- alist, and he is doubtiess hovering between a frank confession and a subborn reiteration of his statements. Those who knew Long best in Ohicago ridicule the idea that he would nave been selected by Starkey or an one else as a proper person to be trusted witl confidence in their consummation of a conspiracy of such heinous character, and maintain that under the pres- sure of suspicion he will break down in a few days and confess that the crime of which he has been guilty is the contemptible one of palming oft for facts a sensationai story of unqualified falsity. The estimate placed upon Long's character jhere by those who know him well, is that he is of a shallow and vacillating disposition, and _altogether the last person whom any judge of human nature would select as an accomplice in & conspiracy involving human life, S Starkey's Story. Tonoxto, May 80.-W. J. Starkey, the lawyer, who fled from Chicago to this oity some time ngo, to escape prosecution for tampering with a jury, and who has been accused of implicity with C. F. Long in the rrcpnmuon of dispatches about Long's al- eged interview with Dr. Cronin, visited the newspaper offices this morning and said he avrived in the city only yesterday, nfter a month’s visit in New York. Ho declared he had absolutely no dealings with Long, and had no knowledge of the matter av issue. BRITONS BUYING BRUWERIES, Dr. Funke Thinks It Will Help the Causo of Prohibition. NEW York, May 30.—|Special Telegram to Tue Beg. |—Dr. Isaac K. Funke, editor of the Voice, the leading prophibition paper of the country, in an interview to-day ex pressed himself glad at the large purchases of American breweries by English capital- 1sts. He thought it meant great good for the cause of prohibition. It will help us in two ways,” said Dr. Funke. ‘“Thero will be in the first place the natiral antipatLy agaiust the British capitalists, who have come in here. They will not be looked upon popu- larly as Americans are; nor as those who have been 'here long in the business. You can see easily enough how this will work. The fact that the brewery owners, who would be among the losers by prohibition, are Britons, wouldn’t be any argument to the Irish against our cause. *“Then there that matter about the al- leged confiscation of vested interests and so forth. You take a brewer who came here many vears ago and_ built up his business uunder the sanction and protection of the law, and 1t does seem hard to many that other persons should step in and destroy his business, With a foreign syndicate in possession, it will be very difficult. People will say, “Well, why didn't you stay at home? We can’t look out for your interosts if you don’t do it yourself. Nobody asked you to come here.’ ““You can depend upon it, there won’t be much tenderuess for the brewers under such circumstances. Nothing could advance the canse of prohibition more than these pur- chasvs,” £ g e THE SPEED RING. Latonia Races.

IT IS OFFICIALLY DENI No British Men-of-War Ordered to Behring Sea. SIR JAMES FERGUSON SAYS SO* And He Ought to Know, For He's & Ruler In the Queen's Navy-— The Feeling Among Wash- ington Offcials. Buat An Idle Rumor. LoNDON, May 80.—In the commons, thi ovening, Sir James Forguson, parliamentar, secretary to the foreign office, denied the re- port from Victoria, B. C., that three men-ofe war, in the Pacific, had been ordered to Behring sea, in June, to protect the English sealing vessels from interference by Amerie can men-of-war, — redited at Washington. NaToN, May 80.—The warlike dise patches from British Columbia, with rega to expected trouble between the United States and Great Britain over the Behring sea soal fishories, are gonerally discredited by the officials of the navy department. It is pointed out that no ofiicer of rank suficiently high to make him acquainted with the English government's purposes d under any circumstances, be so as to talk in the manner in the dispatch from Victoria. A prominont naval officer speaking on that subject, said the United States had no reason to appre- hend any dificulty. Great Britain assuredly would not commit any overt act of violence, in case her sealers were arrosted, witlout warning this government of its intentions. The warning that Greav Britain would by force dispute thq sovereignty of Behring sea had never been communicated to the United States, and this alone showed thq improbability of the story. The Feeling at Ottawa. O1TAWA, May 80.—The department of ma- rine and fisheries is without any official in¢ formation as to the despatch of the ware shivs to Behring sea by either England or the United States. No significance is at- tached by head officials to the despatch of these steamers. At any rate, that is hot they express themselves. - ARKANSAS INDIGNANT, Congressman Kclloy, of Kansas, Makes .a Bad Break. Sr. Louis, May 80.—A Fort Worth, Ark., special says quite & sensation was created here to-day. by the remarks of Hon. Mr. Kelly, of Kansas, whose speech at the Mes morial services followed that of the crator of the day. He said in part: ‘The state of Arkansas is in disrepute. Comrades Benjamin and Clayton were assasss 10ated in this state because thoy were loyal to the flag of their country. The oyes of th entire country are upon Arkansas.” He sai the Kansas state legisiature has passed resos lutions denouncing Arkansas and calliug! upon the national government to protect if veople even if it had to put it under marti law, and then continued: 1 am a congressman, and, comrades, I will see that you are vrotected, if my influence: and power can effect it, even if we have ta resort to martial law.” bl ‘Tno indignation and contempt of the citf zens ut this remarkable speech of Kelly cul.- 'minated in a large.but spontaneous .meeting at the oourt house at. 4 n.m. Iy was composed of both repubticans and demograts, and resolutions were reported by a commite tee composed of two._republicans and one democrat, two of whom were federal sols diers and members of the G. A. R. J. P. Grady, @ republican and ex-federal soldier and a member of the G, A. R., was cailed to the chair, when the following resolution wi unanimously adopted: “ ‘Resolved, That this meeting, composed of democrats and_republicans, denounces the: speech of Mr. Kelly as not only false, but upon such a sacred occasion in a taste that could, it is to be hoped, emanate from no part of the civilized country except from the state whose legislature made such a dis- graceful show of itself in the resolution of which Kelly boasted to-day."
