In ln Inland prison , hero wo hnvo only a
few pacing thoughts to bcitow upon the

brief holiday Benson will soon bo over and
than tlio wild whirl of London season will
lioxln aanln ; nnd fun , It there Is any fun In
It , Will uiix fnitor nnd moro furious than
over.
There on not well bo more people in Lon
don thnn there nro now , or , If more do come ,
they will hnvo to camp out in Hyde Park.
On the lot of next month the shah is coming ,
nnd Iho I'rlnco of Wales Is to go to < 3ravcs-
cml to moot him , nnd , altogether , there Is to
bo great fusn over this not very young nnd
not very reputable potentate.
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.

N , Juno 8. The delay In Iho Irnns-

Satnoan treaty , originated rumors that Blatno
desired n revision of several points. In
quiries nt the foreign ofllco and Iho English
embassy elicit the Information Hint nolhlng
occurred that Is likely to retard the
exchange of signatures. Blalno has
been In communication with Phelps
regarding verbal amendments to the
protocols , which were submitlcd to
Count Herbert nnd Sir Mnllot , nnd accoplcd
without comment. The oDlclul Irrltallon
ovorBlalno'Bscrulinv of the protocols is
abating , with the growing rccognlllon ot Iho
justice nnd the value the United States
places upon the flnnl settlement ot the
Samoan question. Thb impatience of the
foreign ofllco to close Iho matter has nol
hastened Lord Salisbury's aclion any moro
than it has Blalnc. The English commis
sioners do not attach Iho slightest tmporl-
nnco to the dilatory proceeduro of their own
foreign ofllco. As soon as Iho Wasblnglon
government cnblos "sign , " Lord Salisbury's
assent will bo ready.
From the nature of the Intcsl communica-
lions to the American commissions , It is ex
pected the commission will meol Wednesday
for Iho last tlmo.
Blalno has asked for arrangements for the
return of Malletoa. It is settled that the
electoral decision of tbo natives will bo laken
some tlmo after Malltoa is rolnslalcd.
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.
Tbo Cologne Gazette declares the czar is
definitely committed to the Pan-Slavlst's
policy Involving cnllcal developments which
nro bound to have a violent end.

PAIHS , Juno 8. [ Now York Herald Cabla
Special to TUB BEE. | The sonnto Is dis
cussing the law , already passed by the
chamber of deputies , relative to the salary
of teachers. 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.
On Iho same day lhat thcso questions were
under discussion In the senate , M , Jules
Ferry was breaking the long sllonco bo had
Imposed upon himself , nnd reappeared in tha
tribune of Iho chamber. In a long speech ,
ho undertook the dofcnsa of the school laws , *
and the general lulcisatlon , which those laws
established. Ho declared that the men who1
wcro In power when thcso laws were passed ,
who proposed and defended them In parlia
ment , have nothing to retract und nothing to
