Who cares a straw about the shnhl Helms been hero once , nnd now ho Is a played-out , stale , used-up , seedy , old lionnot fit to bo hauled around the country and pose nn a dhow , The royal boast should now ba permitted to pass his days in retirement. No doubt ho will pretor the Kmplro theatre , to which , ns the Herald In forms us , ho has already arranged a vMt. A beautiful place la the Empire theatre , bet tor than the state of Cashmere. The blase shah will nit up when ho sees Cleopatra. Sit Henry Drummoiid Wolff has been told ; off tc wait upon the fthnh during his visit , so that the virtuous Henry will hnvo to go to the Kmplro theatre also. Well , ho can stand it , If the nlmh can not. One-ballet moro or lost will not shiiliu the nerves of Wolff. A veritable favorltoof fortune IsSIrllenry , Hln platter la always found light aide uppermost when there Is nny manna coming down from the ofllclal sky. Ho began Ufa In the foreign office , which generally leads n man to all good thlnys. There is no pre serve In England which is fuller of game , At the ago of fifty , Sir Henry got elected n member of parliament for Portsmouth , and became ono of Lord Randolph Churchill's fourth pnrty. When Lord Randolph came Into oflico ho sent Wolff on a special mission to Turkey , with a salary of 5,000 , Jusl enough to live on unlll something bottci turned up. No special mission can last for ever , nnd the house of commons began tc complain of Sir Henry's demands for ex penses , which wcro both frequent and heavy. Evldenlly n , storm was brewing , but buforo It burst the special envoy came homo nnd was nindo ambassadoi to Persia , at n salary of 5,000 once more , and expenses paid ns usual. Success to the diplomatic services nnd to the whole tribe oi Wolffs. For many months Sir Henry en joyed his fialary without being required tc do anything for It. Ho did not oven leave the shady side of Pall Mall. Then , , nt last , he went to Cashmere , had a pretly good tune for n year or so , saw life nnd liked it , and now ho Is here , still receiving his com- fortaulo 103 a week , and blessing tbo happy land which gave him birth. They say thai in duo time ho will succeed Sir W. W. White , ambassador nt Constanti nople , when his entirely Inadequate salary will bo raised to 8,000 , with a pension of at least 0,000. Thus does England regard hot heroes nnd servants , but If you nsk mo what nro Sir Henry Drumuiond Wolff's achieve- nuuita In tlio horolo line , or even hard work , or what ho has do no in any way , except to pay court in the right quarters , and get him self well and Judiciously advertised , I am bound to say I do not know ; and I novel : heard of anybody who did.

CHICAGO , Juno 8. | Special Telegram tc TIIK Hun. ] The Times this morning pub' lishod a remarkable story , which has sol some people to thinking , nnd has recalled tc their , minds some mysterious Incidents in connection with' the disappearance of Dr , Cronln. It was 7 o'clock that Saturday night when ho is snld to have been called from hit ofllce. At 2 the next nflernoon his frlendi were flooding the newspaper offices with Cronln's printed circular to prove tnat bo had been murdered , one insisting that ho was the victim of foul play , etc. When Long1 sent the first Toronto apo- clal reporting nn Interview with Iho doctor on Monday , Iho same friends who had dls- trlbuled Iho circular on Sunday became fu rious , instead of rejoicing nl Iho prospect of finding their friend , as naturally -would have been the case under other circum stances , nnd Immediately denounced Iho fe- > porl as a pack of lies and insisted lhat tha doctor had been murdered. In fact , it ap peared lhat they would much prefer to have his dead body found than Iho live doclor in Toronto The man who drove the waeon says the trunk was hurriedly loaded inlo Iho wagon and driven stralphl to the lake , whore It waste to have been taken In a boat nnd sunk'in the middle of the lake , but when Ihoy were dis covered in the act of unloading they relraced Ihoir stops and hurriedly pitched Iho naked body Inlo n caleh basin. It would seem that Ihe body would never have been stripped had Ihey inlcnded to sink it m a trunk in the lake , and ono of the theories sot afloat by this morning's story is thai the doclor first prepared the circular to pave the way , oi to explain the cause of his proposed disap pearance , circulated il where it would reach Iho public , and give ine Impression that he had been murdered in Chicr.go , and thus slop the possibility of search being made else where for him. The idea is further carried out by the supposition that ho secured a naked "sliff" from ono of Iho many medical colleges In Ihe clly , or Iho crave yards uol far dislant from the Carlson cottage and the place where tin body was found. Pcoplo who knew Cronln well were not nt nil certain oa seeing the corpse thai il was his unlil Ihe notables in the Croum faction look Iho lead in declaring posllivoly that no doubt was possible. The editor of ono of the leading newspapers of the city , who had frequently mot Iho doclor , saw the body Im mediately afler Iho discovery , nnd upon ro- lurnlng to Iho oftlco , when asked for an opinion , declared a disbelief lhat the right body had been found. A Catholic clergy man had a similar experience , and In privnlo still adheres to lhal view. Members of insurance - suranco fraternities to which Cronin be longed were a long tlmo skeptical afler the discovery of the body , until silenced by the apparently overwhelming evidence against their own senses. The motives advanced' for such an extra ordinary Intrigue by Dr. Cronln is that ex pressed in this circular , namely , that his death "would bo oxlenslvoly inquired Into , " and the affairs of Alexander Sullivan , whom the circular unceasingly refers to , would bo exposed with a thoroughness which no other method would accomplish. Croniti Is ad- milled by his friends lo have an Insatiable craving for notoriety , and such a proceeding would bo Ihoroughly In keeping wllh Iho per- slsloncy and outlandish expedients pre viously resorted to by him. It has been a frequent comment that if Iho trace loft by the supposed criminals , Including the placing of Iho bloody trunk in the public road , bad all boon for the purpose of giving the police clues , there could have been no bettor contrivance. The tardily offered reward for the finding of the doctor's body has neyr been paid. The Times' story is as follows : New YOKK , Juno 7. James Q. Rogers , of Brooklyn , named ns ono of the Buffalo com- mlttcomcn who signed the report exonerating Alexander Sullivan , and who gives as his belief that Dr , Cronin Is not dead , made the following statement to-day : "I refuse to acknowledge that I nm the Rogers referred to In.tho dispatch. I refuse to acknowledge thai I have had anything to with the Clan-na-Gaol , or with nny report concerning the charges of Dr. Cronln against Alexander Sullivan , If I am rofcrrea to na pot believing that Dr. Cronln is dead , that Is true. I do not bellovo thai ho Is dead , and would nol bo surprised lo meet him on Iho street or to bee him come into my olUco this moment. " "What uboul Iho alleged Identification oi the body found In Chicago I" "There was no genuine Identification , " said Mr. Rogors. "In Iho first place , the body was not that of a man who bad died by violence. There was no fracture of the skull , merely a few scratches ana abrasions , such as mmht have boon made on anybody thrown Into any such pla-o. The key to the whole matter lies In the finding ot a finger in thu catch-basin , The linger , I believe , was procuicd from 110 medical rollcge. Cronln's brother pruvunds to Identify the body as thai of hU brother by tlio scar of a complaint from which 25 per ccnl of men suffer a ODD tlmo or another. If a man has suffered from such n complaint , so thai n scar would have bcon lefl by which his body could have been Identified , ho would not have survive. ! bis Illness. Again , Dr , Crqnln'e sister U said lo have identified tha bed } whun she was taken to the Cavalry armory to look at the body. She was not permitted to nee it for half an hour , They kept hot waiting until she was so excited that when he viewed the bodv It was impossible foi her to Identify the bloated face. "I do not believe Dr. Cronln is dead , There was no rc.vson for his death. The fact that he was engaged In an Investigation , nc mutter what it might have been , \m nc reason for the existence of a vendetta against him. The body might have bcon placed In the catch-basin by men interested In helping the enemies of the Irish pooplo. There nro evidently some men dopplybonl on bringing oal to the public , tha.pUrposcs for which these moneys wuro expended. If you have noticed the reports of1 UKJ alleged Cronin murder m nil tbo newspapers , the first three day were remarkably nlilto , ns If tntplrcd by the sntno scl of men. To mo Iho whole thing looks mord nnd 'hioro every day ns the clover work of some smnr men Interested In making It appear thnt Cronin was killed. The doctor , I fool convinced , Is living , nnd has bcon sent out ot jtlio way to help Iho scheme of an alleged murder. Ho may nol bo cognlsanl of the scheme , but ho Is all the same being used skillfully to help it. " Onve Up tlio Nninr. CHICAGO , Juno 8. John Moss , A member of camp No. 21 of the Clnn-na-GaoI , was put upon the witness stand In the coroner's In vestigation Into the manner of Dr. Cronln's death Ibis morning. At n mooting sub sequent to the murder a resolution was presented In this camp denouncing the deed. Most moved thnt It bo tabled , remarking thnt "perhaps Dr. Cronin's ' removal was ordered by Iho executive commlllco. " When called to the witness stand this morning and asked to glvo the name of the presiding officer of the camp , ho .refused lo do so , nnd bv order of the coroner was ordered Into custody. Pending the , arrival of n sheriff's deputy the witness ga.vo evidence of great mental distress , and finally signified bis willingness to testify. Ho Ihon snld the nnmo of the presiding offictorof his camp was William II. Joyce. . . , , "When you made j'oun motion on Iho Cro nln resolution , did you bollovo lhat the exec utive had Iho power lo order the removal ol anyone ! " queried the corner. "I had not the falnlest Idea of tbo powers oMho executive. " . ' 'If you had boon ordered to remove any ( one , would you have done lit" "No , sir , " answered' the witness after n long pause. Peter McGoohan was the next witness. Ho testified lhal ho came to Chicago last February , from Philadelphia ; thnt ho did jnot say before leaving that ho was going on dangerous business for the executive. He came because ho had bad a row with n.voung fellow about a girl. Dr. Cronln came up to the witness on the strccl and accused him.ol "being In Ihe city to murder him ( Cronln. ) Subsequently Cronln wrote to Iho wllncss n nolo telling him to got outof the Btalo or ho would have him nrreslcd. Witness declared ho iyasjln Pullman cii'tho nlghl Cronln was .murdered. , Near Iho close of his , testimony McGochan admitted thai In his camp al Philadelphia ho was known as No. 1 , and" John O'Neill ' as No. 3. McGeohan was taken loathe chief's nrivate office , where Iho Corlaonsj Dinnn and Mrs , Conklm-wera allowed to take a look-athim , None of them , however , identified him and he was allowed to go. At Iho conclusion ottho testimony , the coroner announced the inquest would stand adjourned until Monday morning , and Me- Gcobau was taken Into custody. THE NORTH AMERICAN' REVIEW. ? ! .

Blsraarclc's period of repose at Schon- hauson was probably cut short by advices from SI. Petersburg , showing the renewal of the openly hoslilo policy of Iho czar. The omporor's programme for his vlsll to England , and for his reception to Emperor Francis Joseph and other plans , remain un certain through the czar's tacit refusal to settle the preliminaries for the protected In- lervlow wllh Emperor Willtam > - Bismarck senttofel.'j'elcrsburg asking for the ap polntment of a date and place for Iho meel- , ing of Ihe emperors. The czar declined lo appoint a date further thnn that on returning .from" Copenhagen ho might moot .Emperor William al Kiol. The tame response from Russia renders Iho sending of a formal invitation from Berlin doubtful. Semi-official news papers say Iho cordial personal relations bo- twecn Iho czar and Ihe emperor are un changed , bul thov Icrnoro the fact of the re newal of the strained relations of the Berlin and Vienna governments towards Russia. There is no abatement in Iho general slriko iinovcmonl. The masons and carpenters of , Berlin are steadfast in Ihcir demands and confident of final victory. The Volksblall announces combined action among worumcn -on Iho roynl eslatos tor increased pay. The omuoror has 'already ordered the wages of married men to bo raised. The police are moro offensively active to sup- i press workmen's mectlncs every where. The conservative Journals bitterly comment upon the Imperial pro tection lo workmen. They declare II Is mis placed nnd thnt the workmen are becoming corrupted by socialism and friends of France. The Kreuz Znltung announces that tbo socialist members of the reichstag favor organizing visits of workmen's delegates to Paris , nnd urges the government to suppress .their . arrangements. The dispute of Iho German socialists with France Is settled , The Paris congress is likely to bavo a large Gorman representation. Apart from Iho car's ominous trust to Prlnco Nicholas of Montenegro , and his sending of Prince Nicholas on a special mis sion to Purls , followed by Iho grand duke George , who will sail on a war-ship from Cronslndt for Havre and thence proceed to Paris , there nro signs of activity rising in rcsponso to Iho activities on the part of Uio trlplo alliance. Prince George , Iho czar's favorite son , nnd probably his- successor , In view of Iho weak brain and general debility of the czarowltch , begins a tour of Iho world , starting from Pans , where his pros- Bcnco is Intended to mark the czar's adherence - herenco to the French alliance. It Is denied that the prlnco of Montenegro Is intruslcd with a mission , but It Is admitted that bo will atlend Iho conference of Pan- SlavisU and Servians , at which his son-in- law , Prlnco Peter Karagcsrgovios , will be declared the legalized claimant to the Ser vian throne with the re-establishment of the old Servian empire , including Bosnia and Horzegorinla.

Many grave questions nro In volved In the debate from nn electoral point of view. The government majority In the chamber attach great Importance to the pas sage of the law , ns the teachers play nn im portant political role , now-a-dnys , especially In the rural communities , where they form a , sort of lay clergy. The village schoolmaster is almost always Iho declared enemy of Iho cure , occasionally also of the moire , especially when that official Is elected as n conservative , and is nn avowed opponent to Iho government. Tha rural teachers are very active election agents' nnd wield n power thai prospecllvo candi dates for ro-olecllon are anxious to conciliate. This is the flrsl principle nnd ralson d1 elro of the law increasing Ihoir salaries. It is also the reason why tno passage of the bill Is so strongly urged by Iho government and so fought over by Iho larger portion of tha republican party. But these purely electoral considerations do nol close Iho eyes of everybody to lha serious objcclion put forward against tha law In many respects , notably from tha financial point of view. These objccllona hnvo been strangely stated In the report of thofinnnco committee of the senate. They were dwelt on at lenglh al Iho Palais da Luxembourg by M. Leon Say , and olhor1 senators. Thcso adversaries of Iho law polnl oul lhal II will almost Immediately give rise to an increase In Iho annual expenses of Iho govcrnmcnlof from 15,000,000lo 20,000,000 francs , as Iho cosl of primary education is a ( heavy burden foi- the budget , and-will bo still heavier ono when. Iho lawn of 1831 , 188 and 1SSO are In comololo operation. The budget of primary instruction wllj soon , oven without the proposed law , oxccm } 70,000,000 francs annually. The erection of- monumental school houses costs u'grout deal , while llacisations arc a luxury nol secured at' n small expense. Tha financial situation of J Iho counlry is not sufficiently brilliant for It i to persevere in such a policy with impunity. As far as the lalclsation of schools are con cerned the opinion is voy generally cntcr- laiucd by moderate republicans Is thnt tha tlmo has arrived , If not to slop , at least , to move moro slowly , and it is not only econoV mic motives which Jusllfy this conclusion ! , It can not bo denied lhal lalclsallon has. aroused violent discontent in Iho couolry , When the municipal council of a commune desires sisters or nuns to bo left at Iho hca $ of a girl's school , Is It equitable orrcasonablq for the stale to interfere on behalf of a dog' malic principle in ardor to expel Iho sisters ) from Iho schools and forcibly establish Uy' ' institutions ! Is Ihero a free counlry In Iho world where Iho commune , municipallly , or nny assembl age , can override the heads of the families who are not allowed a voice In the choice of tbo masters entrusted with the Intellectual and moral education of their children I The present cabinet knows very well lhat tbo government has gene too fur und too fast in the matter of laicisatlon. Assurances have , been given that the minister of public in- strucllon had declared to do nothing moro la that direction , at least In connection with girls' schools , wilnoul the consent of tha municipal council of the commune in which the changes are made , but this concession denends on the will of Iho minister who may change his opinion or lese his office at any lime. II would bo well for Iho moderates lo In sist upon other guarantees against furlhei abuses in the matter of lalclsation. The loft center of the senate have about made up tbolr minds that if the law for In creasing the salaries of school teachers Is passed , In opito of Iho serious objections lhat have been made lo U , they will introduce an amendment lo tha bill , by which Iho govern ment will bo required , before it proceeds la lalclsation of u achool , lo ask Iho opinion of Iho municipal council of the commune in which it Is located and to conform to that opinion.
