WAR WILL BEGIN TO-DAY. The Northwestern Railroad Freight Cut to Be Discussed. Cuicago, June [Special Telogram to Tue Bee.]—All the lines interested in both lake and rail will meet in St. Paul to-mor- TOW to attempt a settlement of the break in northwestern rates. Notoneof the rail lines believes there will bo a settlement, at least before navigation closes. The lake lines, via Duluth, have but 154 miles of rail to St. Paul, but are now demanding a differential against the 600 miles of rail from the *Soo," and the all-rail lines from Chicago. One of the freight agents said: *‘Ihe lake lines have the club and appar- ently propose to swing it.” Should there be no settlement to-morrow the 25-cent rate, Chicago to St. Paul, will go into effect Monday. 1In fact, it will be in ef- fect for ten days after Monday, even in case of settlement, according to the erms of the inter-state commerce act requiring day's notice of advance in rates, This morning the Chicago, St. Paul and Kansas City gave notice it would meet the 23c-rate, and, this after- noon, the Northwestern and St. Paul fol- lowed suit. The Wisconsin Central will also, undoubtedly, meet tha rate. Whether or not the Rock Island will do likewise, has not been decided. The reduction to 34 cents was meb with considerable hesitaney by that road, and then only on the urgent solicita- tion of its connection, Should there not be a settlement to-mor- row, local rates wili come down with a rush next week. The board of trade will not longer stand the discrimination against Chi- cago merchants by which freight from New York and the seaboard goes from Chicago to St. Paul at 84 cents, first class, while it costs 60 cents billed from Chicago, Rock 1sland vs Union Pacifle. Cnicaco, June 7.—[Special Telegram to ten Commerce Railway association r other shock to-day, in the deci special executive commission on the question of the Nevada and Utah bullion rates. It will be remembercd that the Uuion Pacific ally monopolizes this trafe, and, in iblo way, could the Rock Island and Burlington secure any of it. The contest finally concentrated itself on a question of reductior in rates, the Rock Island wishing to reduce the §7 rate from Denver and Colo- rado points to the Missouri river, and the Uunion Pacific opposing the reduction. The finding of the comwittee is that no reduction in rates shall be allowed from Colorado points, although one from $15 to $13 is recommended from Utah to Owmaha and common points, Tho case is an exact par- allel to the Alton conteution for a division of the Kansas City live stock trafic, Not a rairoad man spoken to sees how either ques- tion could be settled amicably, and prophe sies were fiying thick that both the Alton and Rock Islund, and probably the Burling- will withdraw from the association for r own protection. To-day’s decision was signed by Chairman Walker, of the Inter- State Commerce Railway association, Cuair- mwan Midgley, of the Southwestern reight associntion, aund Chairman Riolay, of the Traus-Missouri ussociation. ‘Will Meet the Cut. Cnicaoo, June 7,—The Chicago, Milwau kee & St, Paul and the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City have notified Chawrman Faithorn, of the Western Freight association, that they will meet the new rates udopted by the Bur- lington & Northern on traftic from the sea- board to St. Paul, via Chicago. These rates make the proportion from Chicago to S Paul ou the respective classes as follows: First and second classes, 23 cents per hun- dred pounds; third class, 22; fourth class, 12: fifth class, 10; sixth class, 10.

Gandy Gets Five Years. Pawxer City, Neb., June 7.—|Special Telogram to Tur BEB.|—The Gandy case ended this morning, for the third time. Ho is sentenced to the penitentiary for five vears. About three hours were taken up ar- guing for a new trial, which Judge Broady overruled.

Some of the Inside: Workings of the Prohibition Convention. LixcoLy, Neb., June 7.—[Special to Tue Beg.]—The organization of the Prohbi- tory Amendment léague at Lincoln on Wed- nesday has a history that has not yet ap- peared in public print. Two Lincoln lawyers with political kites to fiy have set the move- ment under way to:give them the tails they lacked to soar into public notice. Like the boy who fired the Ephesian dome they were previously unknowh to fame. The league is the creature of Messrs. C. A. Atkinson and C. A. Robbins. ‘ Mr. Atkinson has been connected with the Anti-Saloon Republican league of New York, and were ' a high-sounding title, but it has been lost in obsourity. His office was the secret meeting glnce last winter of the pro- hibitionists in the legislature, Mr. Robbins is the young man who asked Attorney Gen- eral Leese to be allowed to plead for tne double-headed amendament before the su- preme court, and when he came to speal he apologized for his rambling talic with the confession that Hon, John L. Webster had stolen his thunder, These two gentlemen coucocted the call for Wednesaay's convention and circulated it for signatures. They took two or thres other Lincoln men and scveral ambitious legislators into their confidence, and that little clique mampulated the convention. They held a private caucusat Atkinson’s flice the night before and fixed up a schemo of on. An examination of the proceedings of the convention will show how well the scheme was worked. Representative Dempster called the meeting to order—by request. Mr, Atkinson was wmade temp chairman. When a member of the convention, evidently not 1n the ring, unexpectedly moved to make the temporary organization permanent, Mr. Robbins persisted that the motion might be construed to mean & permanent orgaization for the proposed lesgue and be frantically insisted on a ruling from the chair. The latter relieved the minds of the schemers. John M. Stewart, of Lincoln, deputy attor- ney-general, moved the committee on plan of organization, He was made char- man and given agreeable colleagues. Mr. Atkinson read tiie women out of the proceedings, but subsequently was overruled by the convention. When the committee re- ported a form of organization Mr. Robbins tried to cram it down the convention’s throat by moving to adopt it as & whole, without discussion, and was suvported by Represen- tatives Dempster und Whitehs The con- vention rejected the gag and the members of the clique were visibly chagrined, When the third party prohibitionists objected to the name first selected (The Nebraska State Temperance league), it was a Lincoln man, H. H. Wilson, who met the emergency with an apparent concession in a new name. Mr. Robbins reported the nominees for league ofticers, and Mr., Demp- ster the members of the executive commit- tee, who are to_manage the league's affairs, ‘The list of officers shows how effeeti the little band of schemers finished their work. Mr. Atkinson is president; Mr. Rob- bins secretary ;Mr. Dempster, first vice pres- ident; Mr. Stewart is on the executive com- mittee from the first district and Mr. White- head for the third. Had those present at the convention ob- served its workings closely they would have noticed how a few members manipulated the whole proceedings to their own glory and advancement. Revresentative Dempster aspired to the leadership of the prohibition forces of the house of representatives, but it was snatched from him by Hall and Cady aud others. He aspired to lead the mew movement, but he was accused of A desira 1o use it to promote his gubernatorial av.bitlon, To prove the purity of his motives he said *‘your presi- dent I can not be.” “He has also denied that he isa caudidate fomthemomination for gov- ernor, but the mild idisalaimer was laughed av in the convention LoNDON, June 7.—A técher named Keels ing, while traveling by tfain to Birmingham with his sweetheart, shof the lady and then threw her out of the,parriage.

Some Sensatioual Papers Brought to Light. ONE OF SULLIVAN'S LETTERS A Document in Which cthe Irish Lia yer Denounces the Dooctor as a Proven Perjurer and a Traitor, Oronin's Alleged Perjury. Cnrcago, June 7.~ When the Cronin in- quest was resumed this morning, the name of John I, Beggs, chief officor of the Clan-na- Gael camp of which Dr. Cronin was a mem- ber, was called, but he did not respond. It was subsequently found he had gone to Wis- consin, to bo gone several days, as a sign on his office announced, Policeman Daniel Brown, the man who proferred charges of treason against Dr. Cronin in Clan-na-Gael camp No. 20, testi fied that he preferred the charges on his own motion and notat anybody’s instigation. At the close of his testimony he was taken to the central station and confronted with Mrs, Conklin, Livery Stablo Keeper Dinan and others, but they all declared that he was not the man who drove the white horse, and he was accordingly released. This was a day of sensations at the inquest of Dr, Cronin. Luke Dillon, the highest or one of the highest of the executive officers of the Clan-na-Gael, took the witness stand, and in the course of tho testimony read from the archives of the association a document penned under extraordinary circumstances by one of his own predecessors in the high- est council of the Clan-na.Gael, Alexander Sullivan, of Chicago. The document was dated New York, Soptember 15, 1848; is ad- dressed to P, A. O'Boyle, secretary, aud is a protast by Sullivan sgainst the presence of r. Cronin 88 a member of the committee to investigate the charges uagainst Sullivan, ‘which held its sessions in Buffalo. Mr. Sul- livan protests against Cronin on three grounds: First, that Cronin is his personal enemy. Second, that he has expressed opinions in the case. Third, that he is a_perjurer and a scoun- drel unfit to be placed on any jury.” To the first objection, Sullivan cites Cro- nin’s well known and evident personal hos- tility toward the writer in many acts. His writings on the subject, ete. In regard to the second objection, Sullivan said it was only necessary for him to notice the fact that Cronin was a member of the executive body of the United Brotherhood, who had formu- lated the charges against him; that he had expressed decided opinions in the case and would not be accepted as a juror i any civil ¢ase in which Sullivan had anything to do. As to the third objection Sullivan says: “I charge that the brand of perjury is 80 burnt into the scoundrel’s brow that all the waters of the earth would not remove the brand. He was a delezate to the dis- trict convention of Chicago, March 23, 1884, to which two = delegates wero elected from each district, yet Cronin after officially reporting the election circu- lated a report that only one delegute had been olected, and added that he would not be permitted to speak or present any sug- gestion from his district. Every other dei gate testitied that every delegate not only could speak, but was actually called upon, and that every one, including Cronin did spe Cronin was expellod a convicted liar who bad added perjury to his siander,” adds Sullivan, Sullivan’s pro- test then went on to show that Cro nin was a perjurer in civil matters as well. The rec- ord obtained from Ircland showed that Cronin was baptized at Buttervant, April 20, i844. He has sworn that he livea at Si Catherines, Canada, until after the assas nation of President Lincoln, April 14, 156 The records of Company 2, Ninth battalion, Canadian militia show that Cronin joined that company at time of its organization in 1862 or 1868, and took the oath of allegiance to the queen. The official records show that Cronin’s father was a British subject, so Dr. Cronin, up to the time he left Canada, was a Bri ubject, and if, as he stated, his father was naturalized in the United States before going to Canada, he voluntarily aban- doned his American citizonship, just as his son swore allegiance and became a loyal British militiaman, *Yet,” adds Sullivan, *this creature swore in his name as u legal voter in St. Lows and voted. After coming to Chicago and residing there one year, he sneaked down to Macoupin county, Illinois, and swore that he arrived in the United States a minor under the age of twenty-one and secured his papers on this minor petition, thus falsely sworn to. This much of Cronin’s character 1 sub- mit, should be considered in connection with any roport his malice and prejudice may dictate.” Dillon told of the trial at Buffalo, of the charges against Sullivan, Boland aud Feeley, "Theso charges were of misappropriation of Clan-na-Gael funds and were made by John Devoy. The witness said that when Sulli- van learned that Cronin was to be a mem- ber of the trial comnimttee he denounced him in unmeasured terms, and after the trial it was voted to allow Sullivan to circulate with the finding of the trial committee, a protest, the substance of which is given ubove. Witness continued: *In _June, 1883, John Devoy said that §300,000 and over was in the hands of the treasurer, and that over £100,000 had been spent in violation of the constitution. This does not include the $100,000 given to Sullivan by Patrick Egan, I know nothing about that. The funds of the organization were supposed to be used to assist Ireland i aining her liberty. There is nothing in onstitution requir- ing a man to sacrifice his life for the order.” Dillon said there was nothing in the consti- tution of the a-Gael to interfere with & member duty as an American citizen, except that an occasion might arise when he would have to violate the neutraiity laws, Dillon od that a trial committee of six, of which Cronin was a member, was practically a jury. Desides the scoretary, two of ‘the commit- tee took notes of the proceedings, These were Dr. Cronin and McCahey. After the trial, Cronin refused to turn in his notes when reauested by the executive committec, He boasted in Chicago of baving the docu- ments and of intending to bring them out 1n full convention of be Clan-na-Gael, Witness had advised him not to make such boasts as he believed they jeopardized the doctor's safety. _ Captain Lawrenco Buckley, of the Chicago Clan-na-Gael guards, was @ mewmber of the committee that expelled Cronin as o traitor in 1885, He testified that Dan Conghlin was on the committee, too, but that Le Caron was not. He said the attaching of Sullivan’s protest to the report of the trial committes was approved by all of the exceutive commit tee except Patrick BEgan, who was not present. The coroner asked Buckley if the execu- tive committee ever ordered Cronin’s ve- moval, and the witness answered emphat- ically in the negative, The inquest was here adjourned for the day.

The Epoch: The salon was lighted by a single lamp, which shed a soft radiance throughout the room. It was simply furnished, but was adorned with a profusion of flowers and plants. Three persons were in the salon—Mme. de Buiny, Gisele, her daughter, and the latter’s betrothed, Robert de Gillis,who was soon to be her hushband. ole, who was in her eighteenth year, was vory beautiful. Sho was a natural blonde. Her smile had the double advantage of showing pretty teoth and two charming little dimples in her rosy checks. Her oyes were very handsome, but their glance was some- what imperious. She was dressed in o robe of a soft, white, clinging mater thav set off to advantago her girlish beauty. Gisele was an only daughter. She had been reared by an indulgent mother, her father having died during her infancy. Although Mme. de Bainy's income was barely sufticient to support herself and daughter, she man- aged to gratify Giscle's every wh and her whims were many, for sho a child of ly ¢ 's paid suit to Gisele, but she smiled on none until Robert do Gillis threw himself and his fortune at her foet. In Robert Gisele found her supremo triumph, for by his unselfish devotion he gave her the groatest sat- isfaction a woman can have—to be loved for her beauty, which was Gisele’s only dower. Robert had every qualification to be desired in a love He was twen- ty-five years old, handsome, manly and very wealthy. While Mmo. de Bainy was working at her embr ry and Robert and Gisele were holding a tender conversa- tion, the door of the salon was opened, and George Langle was announced. “Good evening, my dear madame,” said the newcomer, as he entered, bow- ing to the mistress of the house SAh, good evening, my dear Langle,” said Mme. de Bainy, welcoming the guest. *This is, indced, an agreeable surprise. ‘When the others had welcomed him, turning to RRobert, Langle said: I knew tuat I would find you here, and that is why I called so lite, wish- ing to have you present to second proposition which ssire to make to these ladies.” ““Ah! tell us. Gisele. “My mother’s cottage at St. Cloud has just been put in order for the summer,” veplied Langle. *“We are going to drive there to-morrow and she desires that you accompany us. We 1l leave Paris in good season 50 as to avoid the | heat of the day. Breakfast will await us on our arrival. We will spend the warm part of the day swinging in our hammocks and gossiping under the elms. We will dine ul fresco, and then if "Mdlle Gisele approves of the plan, we will attend the fete of St. Cloud, at which among other attractions, will be the great lion tamer, the illustrious Bidel, with his menageries. That is the proposition I have to offer.” “Bravo!” eried Gisele. “Your plan fs charming! charming! {s it not Rob- ert?” she added turning to her lover. Robert agreed with Gisele that their friend’s plan was faultless, and it was adopted with enthusiasm. Accordingly, the following day found Mme. de Bainy, her daughter and Rob- ert St. Cloud as the guests of M. Langle and his mother. The day was spent in | the delightful ways which people es- caping from the city in the curly sum- mer find for passing the timein the country. Gisele, however, was all an- ticipation in regard to the approaching fete, and especially in regard to the lion tamer, Bidel of whose exploits she had d a great deal.
