O. , Juno 1L ) 'Tho statement published lust Saturday morning to tlio oftcet that the war dopart- _ mcnt had selected a site for the now" Port Omaha was entirely without authority , " said Chief Clerk Twoedalo , of the war de partment to-day. "Tho matter Is hold up until the return of Secretary Proctor , nnd no decision has bc'en reached yet. } t seems that there Is a decided disposition on the part of mony of the business men of Omaha to disapprove the abandonment of the pres ent site. lean glvo : vou no information con- coring the decision of the secretary , and Gcncrnl Schollold , who is acting secretary of war , Is not prepared to take any action In this matter during the ubscco of the secre tary. " This was all the Information that could bo secured after vigorous inquiries in the de partment by TUB BEE correspondent to-day. The chief clerk of the quartcrmastcr-geu oral's ofllco said In response to inquiries : i "This department has no knowledge what ever of the action of the board. It has never been brought to the attention of the quaKor- mnstor-genoral , and whatever action is taken will bo taken solely by the secretary of war. Of course , after hu renders his decision It will bo reported to this olUco and the neces sary steps will bo taken to acquire tltlo to the property selected , but up to the present tune wo have received not n word concerning - ing the selection of a site since the llrst Blips loofunc to that end were taken some months ago. " VTOUMW'T TAKE IT ON A. flOLD PLATTEll. It has been frequently asserted In political circles hero thai-President Harrison Intends to offer the vacancy on the supreme court bench to Hon. Walter Q. Grcsham , now of Illinois. Close personal and political friends of Judge Grcshaui , hnwovor , Bay that no would not take that position nr any other In the gift of the administration if it should bo offered him on a golden platter. The fact is , thcso gentlemen do not want to sco their friend and favorite placed In any position where ho would bo practically shelved awya from higher political honors. Tnoro is no authentic ! reason to bollovo that President Harrison over contemplated tendering the place to Mr. Grcsham , who will , without doubt , try conclusions with nil other comers for the presidential nomination in 1803. Mr. Grcsham has had some of his political friends hero recently , and It is un derstood that they have been hunting for the reported disgruntled republicans with the idea of forming a combination with them In the interest of their friends . for the next republican convention for the presidency. As far as co * do learned they have had but llttlo success in this quest. The disgruntled republicans , of suQlciont Importance' to beef of value , have failed to materialize , and it is only among a few anxious seekers for placca who have been unable to jot at the crib up to the present tlrno that the least growling is heard. KEBIU8KAN8 INTJIItESTED. There is qulto a commotion in Nebraska circles to-day over the president's announce ment of the appointments for the land of- llccs in Utah. It is known that Mr. Hall , of southeastern Nebraska , was indorsed by Senator Mauderson for ono of theao places , and the statement was made bcforo congress adjourned that _ Mr. Ball was slated for cither register or receiver at Salt Lake. The president was quite determined that Ball should have ono of the Oklahoma land oflicus , In order perhaps to let Sounders infer for commissioner in Utah , but the delegation named Roberts , of David City , ana this was supposed to have slated Hall for a land ofllco in Utah , as Hall was ono of the president's especial friends. The query now is , what will ho defer for him ? Thus far the delegation has Egan for the Chilian mission , erroneously charged toNobraska.it scorns ; Captain Stidgcr , ot Or nnd Island , for special land agent , located in New Mexico , at ? 1SO ( ) per annum : Pick- eroll , of Beatrice , special agent of the agri cultural department at $ . ' 1.000 per annum ; Harding , of Oakland , in the public printing ofllco ut $1,000 ; Michael , of Missouri , in the printing ofllco , at $1,800 ; Slaugh ter for United States marshal , Peters for collector , Qillcspio for register at O'Neill , and probably Ashley , of Burt county , for agent of the Winnobagoes , HEIUOUS CUAltQES nrn on fllo with the secretary of the interior department against Agent Warner , of thq Winnobags reservation , and charges are also on fllo against the register of the land ofllce at Cluaron. and the outlook now is th'at the administration will not hesitate to remove the register and receiver there if nny reasonable ground exists , especially in the face of the determined attitude of demo cratic ofllclals generally to hangon under re publican rule. The democratic friends here of the Chadron land ofllccrs are advising these oOldals to resign to save themselves from the political disgrace of a removal. OITUEN8 Of OKLAHOMA. T. A.

Mr. Stobkslagor , who was a clerk in the pension ofllco up to the 15th of April , speaks in glowing tornis of the wonderful energy and enterprise ot the citi zens of Guthrlo. Ho says that there arc al ready several brick yards anil forty-two lumber yards In town : that au clod- trio light plant has boon estab lished and Is now lu worultitf order ; that arrangements uro Doing effected for the building "of a line of strcot railway , and that every thing points to a prosperous future. Lota which on the ! Wd of April wuro portions of ono vast uninhabited territory , have been eold as high us 1,1)00 each. Mr. Stonk- slagor says bo thinks the values : are fictitious to some extent , but he has no doubt that the future of this wonderful now ' town is assured , and that within a very short time it will compare favorably with many of the larger cities of the uast and west. If the territorial capital should ho settled In Guthrlo ho believed that its future growth will warrant the faith its founders have in . It. Ucgardlng the reports of violenca there , Mr. Stockslagcr says that there have been but two deaths in the town smco it was organized.

ALEX , SULLIVAN ARRESTED , The Coroner's Jury Recommend His Incarceration. PUT IN THE MURDERERS'S ROW. Ho is Taken From Ills Bed to tlio Chicago Jail Two Men Ar rested In Now York City. A Scnsatlonnl Day. CHICAGO , June 11. It was given out at an cnrly hour this morning that James Moron , a driver in tho'employ of the ice firm of McGlnnls & Moran , of Lake VIew , was arrested late last night , and is hold as n witness In the Crouln case. It is alleged that on the evening of Dr. Cronin'a disap pearance Moran , in company with another man. was seen In the vicinity of the Carlson cottage. In the Cronln Inquest this morning , John O. Garrlty , a saloonkeeper , testified that ho was acquainted with Detective Coughlln , now under indictment for complicity in the as sassination. Witness declared that Coughlln came to him and said ho wanted to hlro a tough character known as "Major" Samp son , to slug a man. Witness told Sampson about it , and a few days later Sampson told him ( Garrlty ) that the man Coughlln wanted slugged was Dr. Cronm. Ho wanted him slugged with a base ball bat and disfigured for life. If it killed him It wouldn't make much difference. , J. D. Haggerty , railroad clerk , gave most Important testimony thlo morning. After the trial of Dr. Cronln , ho said Alexander Sullivan told him that Dr. Cronln was a scoundrel and a menace to the Irish cause. IIS was the Impression ot the witness that Sullivan was trying to express the opinion that Cronln should bo exterminated. The witness was of the same-opinion at that time. About that tinm a circular had been issued saying that many Scotland Yard detectives SIh had left England for America to try and flnd out some of the secrets of the order and every person who was a member was on the lookout for informers. All that time Sulli van was not aloao in his opinion. LO Caron , who was a friend of Alexander Sullivan , was a member of the committee which tried Dr. Cronm. Ho was Introduced.to the wit ness by Sullivan at the trial as a man worthy of-conlidcnco in the Irish cause. Ho was opposed to Dr. Cronin at the time on account of the statements of Alexander Sullivan. At the afternoon session a number of wit nesses were examined'without developing anything of importance. Chief of Police Hubbard was sworn and told of an interview which ho had had with \Voodruff , the liorso thief. Hubbard asked him what ho knew of the : Cronln matter and if ho really was the ono who drove the trunk from the Carlson cottage. Woodruff said-he was , and ho then described the cottage. "Ho said , " continued the chief , "ho took the trunk about midnight on May 4. Ho had been given $25 by two men the day before to do the job. At 11:20 : p. m. on May 4 , two meni according to agreement , rapped on the door of DInan's stable. Ho opened the door and lot out the horse with raps on its feet and hitched it to a wagon. They then drove to within ono hundred feet of the Carlson cottage. Ho was then told to wait and the two men loft him and wont Into tba cottage. They 1t 1 remained there five minutes and then beckoned him to drive up. Ho did so , and two men , King and Fairburn , and a third man came out with a heavy trunk. The third man was R. O. Sullivan. When dt the t trunk was put in the wagon Sullivan re turned to the house. Woodruff , with King and Fairburn , drove on Lincoln avenue to Fullerton avenue , thence to Lincoln pork. The men Intended to take the trunk and its 1C contents in a boat out on the lake and sink them t , but owing to the bright nlghtand the presence I of strangers , they changed their minds and drove back. When they reached the 1t t man-hole on Fifty-ninth street they tried to 1I 1 dumo the trunk into it , but falling they knocked 1I I the trunk openhaving lost the key , and I took the body from It and throw it into the I man-hole. Woodruff was then told to drive ( off. " The chief was askedin regard to the grounds on which McDonald and Mnronoy were arrested in New York to-dny. With regard to the man McDonald , who seems to bo the most important of the two prisoners , Hubbard said : "VVo attach no great Importance to the ar rest , as all the follow has to do with the case , so far as wo know , Is this : Ho is a well known Now Yorit crook , nnd was absent from Now York at the time of the murder , and wo think ho was hero , but wo don't know yet. Ho can not or will not tell where ho was on May 4 , but that doesn't prove ho mur dered Crouin or had anything to do with the crime. " "It is learned that the Carlsons can ident ify him as the man who rented the cottagol" "Bah , sheer nonsense. " ' And that ho was , lu nil probability , the man who drove the doctor away ! " OTho chief's reply.though inolegentwasthe expressive ; "Hats ! " Luke Dillon , of Philadelphia , on whoso In formation the arrests wore made , declined to say on what grounds. State's Attorney Longeneckor would talk , however , if Dillon would not. "The men are arrested and there is noth ing to conceal now. Maronoy is the man who is suspected of driving the doctor from the ofllco to the Carlson cottage. About the other man I don't Know so much , but wo expect to prove ho was In the conspiracy. Muronoy Is a laboior , I think , and McDonald Is a black smith. I got this infprmatlon from Dillon , and wo will learn how much truth there Is In U later on. " VF.UWCT OF THE COHONEU'S JDKV , The following is the full text of the vor- dlct of the coroner's Jury : "Wo , the under signed Jurv , appointed to make Inquiries according to law as to how the body viewed by us came to its death , state our verdict from thu evidence. " 1. That the body is. that of Patrick II. Cronln , known as Doctor Cronln : 'J. That his death was not from natural cause , but by violent means. "a That said Patrick H. Cronin was de coyed from homo on North Clark street on the ovenlng of May 1 , 1880 , by some parson or persons , to the oottaga known us the Carlson cottage , situated at No. 18713 North Ashland avenue , in Lake View , Cook county , Ills. " J. That at said cottage the said Cronin was murdered by Doing beaten on the head with sonio blunt instrument in the hands of some person or persons to us unknown , on the night of said May 4 , or botweoa May 4 and May 5 , 1S39. " 3. That the body after said murder was committed was placed in a trunk and carried to Udgowatcr on a wagon by several persons and by them placed in u catch basin ut the corner of Evanston avenue and Fifty-ninth street , Luke View , whore it was discovered May 27 , IbbO. "That the ovldenco shows conclusively to all minds that a plot or conspiracy was formed by a number of persons for the purpose - pose of murdering the said Cronln and con cealing his body. Bald plot or coasplraoy was deliberately contrived and cruelly executed , iyo " 7. Wo have carefully inquired Into the re lations sustained by nald Cronln to other persons while alive , to asccrUin if no. had any quarrels or enmities , with any person , sufficient to cause liU murder fc . It is our Judgment that no other ) n or persons except some of these who are , or who had becD , members nt a certain secret Eoclety known as the 'United Brotherhood' d'a. or Clan iia-Gad , had caunQ to bo. lhe.la.sUga. tors or executnro of such plot or conspiracy to murder said Cronln. "l . Many of the witnesses testifying Innt. said case havedono so with.much evident , unwillingness , and wo believe with much mental reservation. Wo flnd from the evl donco that a number of persons wore par- tics to the plot and the conspiracy to mur der said Cronln. nnd that Daniel Coughlln , Patrick O. Sullivan , Alexander Sullivan , and. ono Woodruff , alias BJucH , were either principals or accessories , or had guilty knowledge of said plot and conspiracy to inurdor said Cronln and conceal his body , nnd should bo hold W nnfrfror to the grand Jury. Wo also bellovo thnt other persona iuki . engaged in tM . , Wet or had guilty knowledge of It , and nliojjld bo apprehended and hold to the grand Jury. . Wo further state that this plot , or con spiracy ) , in its conception nnd execution , Is ono of the most foul and brutal that over came to our knowledge , hud wo recommend that ; the proper authorities offer a large re ward for the discovery and apprehension of nil these onpagod in it iu nny way. "Wo further state that in ourJudgmcnt | all secret societies whoso objects are such as the ovldonco shows that of the 'Clan-na- Gaol' or 'United Brotherhood' to bo , are not in harmony with and are injurious to Amor- can Institutions. "Wo hope that future vigor nnd vlcllanco by the police force will nioro than compen sate for past neglect by a portion ot the force in this caso. * It. S. CHITCHBU. , RtJDOM'ii SEIFKIT , H. A.

Maronoy was ono of the men. who before Crontn's body was found in the sewer , was most pronounced in the opinion that the , doctor had not met with foul play , but h4d loft Chicago to avoid the disgrace resulting from some scandal with whioh ho was professionally connected.

A more cheerful and hopeful feeling prevails - vails and is daily increasing , and work all over the valley is being pushed to-day with vigor. The horror of the situation has notrdl- mlnishcdbut grows. The search for the dead continues , and iu nil sections and directions bodies are being found. A number of bodies are no w"coming to the surface of the waters , and these whoso work has made them com petent judges , say as many moro bodies as have been found are lylug somowhero. Notwithstanding this is the twelfth day since the flood , most of the newspaper corre spondents are still without slcopine accom modations of any kind , and * as on the first day are sleeping in barns , brick kilns and other places without cots or blankets. Cots have been sent , they are told , but so mo one else gets them. The supply of provisions is Improving some , nnd they now manage to get ono , and sometimes two fair meals daily. The provis ions sent to this valley don't scoui to have reached the right places. A number of carloads of all kinds of supplies have been sent to Morrollvillo , nnd as there was no damage done there by the flood this stuff has been misapplied. A prominent citizen of Morrollvillo said this morning : "There is a largo class of people here who have not Iqst a thing in the flood , yet every arriving train finds them in line ready to receive a share. It is safe to say thcso people have secured enough provisions to last them six months , and clothing cnouch to last flvo years. . After to-day the commissary departments will bo lu charge of Col. Spangler , assistant quartermaster-general , with three assistants. There will bo two post commissaries nnd and eleven district commissaries , the latter in charge ot lieutenants of the National GuardK Their duty will bo to llnd out all the needy , and .to make a list of them and to make requisitions on the quartermaster-gen eral for provisions and to distribute the same as fust as possible. It is the intention to induce the citizens to take hold and as soon as possible the entire commissary depart ment wlll-bo.turned over to them. But two bodies have been rcceivcdeot the Fourth ward morgue up to noon to-day and it is qulto likely.that alter to-day no bodies will bo taken to any of the morgues because of the bad state in which they are found. There is now but little attempt at identifica tion. tion.Tho The impending change in the control of the town , the exodus of workmen and flood survivors nnd the steady "rain have com bined to make Johnston moro quiet to-day. At all headquarters work has bnen narrowed down to the finest possible calibre and a good many faithful men are getting the rest they needed long ago. To-morrow Mr. Scott throws do\vn the reins of government and Adjutant-General Hastings takes hold. At least $100,000 will bo paid out to workjncn to-morrow morning and the most of it will leave town with men who earned It. The new leaders claim n number of plans nro to bo introduced by which the work of cleaning up the wreck age and caring for the survivors will be greatly systematized. The military will bo retained. Good progress was made in cleaning out the channel of the Coneinaugh above the bridge to-dav. A number of stationary en gines and long cables nro being used to pull out the heavy timbers. The morgues nro about to bo abandoned on account of the bad condition of the bodies being recovered. Identification is almost impossible unless by the personal effects found on the bodies. The state board of health still issues encouraging bulletins , al though Isolated cases of pneumonia , diph theria and measles are loportcd , generally from the suburbs. The spirit of recovery took n firm hold on tno citizens of Johnstown to-day. Every where owners of property were hard at work clearing out the collars , drying carpets , and bedding , and inaugurating a general renovation. General Hastings this evening said : "Tho work of clean Ing the city will -bo done bv contract , and negotiations will bo opened at once with the leading contractors. Several may bo employed , but I can not say who will get the work ut this time. Until the com mission Is appointed Scott has volunteered his services , nnd will render all .assistance in his power. OQuartcrmustor Baker started out four men to canvass Johnstown proper in order to clas sify these needing provisions. To-night the men turned in 1,187 names and the city was not nearly all visltod. Baker says u surpris ing umouut of need was unearthed. A great manv ladles were found whoso families were really suffering who had fulled through a sense of delicacy , to apply for aid. Thu hu mility of Booking relief is removed by the system now bnlng introduced. It Is the ex pectation th nt the food and clothing which has been going in largo lots to undeserving persons will now go to the moro respectable and retiring class. T. J , Oliver , of Pniladol- pliln , who is In charge of the store house establishment la the Gorman Catholic church said : "Twenty carloads of provisions and cloth ing were unloaded there to-day. Enough clothing is arriving In Johnstown to supply the city for twenty years. " Thirty-eight bodies were recovered to-day , all of them being in an advanced state of de composition. In one or two instances maggots gets were at worlc on them and thu flesh was so soft that extreme care was necessary lest .the IInibs bo torn from the trunks. This afternoon the body of Miss C. Jy Christman , a foreign missionary from Now Orleans , who was on the fated day express , was found , Her body was embalmed and placed In u handsome casket to await the disposition of friends , She was a woman of line presence and was dressed handsomely iu a light brown dress with braided front.

After some Investigation the detectives concluded that the company was being robbed by its employes. Accordingly an operative was sent Into the mluo under the guise ot a minor. Ho soon found that ton of the minors had organized for plunder and were carrying the pure silver out of the mluo in their clothing. .In January thu members of the gang were arrested nnd in dicted for the robbery.

The announcement mr.kcs interesting read ing , nnd is as follows : "The St. Paul road considers that the mainstay of the Presi dent's agreement is the provision for giving some business to weaker lines , which can not obtain it against stronger ones on maintained rates , nnd it certainly will not discourage this llrst attempt in that direction by fatluro to co-operate. In this particular case their view is that it might have been adjusted seas as to produce less hazard of criticism , and bolter results in rates on the general traffic , but this is a matter of Judgment which arbl- trillion governs. It now remains to bo soon whether rates can bo maintained on a fair basis on recourse to this last resort.

Briscoo , of Junction City , Mont. , who came through from the Northern "Pacific by private con veyance o n business in the interest of Paul McCoriniclc , one of the incorporators and chiuf spirits of the Big Horn & Soutncra lallway company. This railroad company was incorporated on the 21th of last January , with a capital stock of § 500.000 , Eli D. Ban nister , Paul McCormlok , Wilbor F. Sanders , Thomas C. Power and Albert J. Soligman , some of them prominent as Montana capital ists , and all identified with the Northern Pa cific , being the incorporators. It was stated in the articles that the object of the company was to construct and operate a railroad from a point in Yellowstone county , Montana , through the counties of YolioWstono , in Montana , and Sheridan and Johnson , in Wyoming , to the mouth of Hock creek , two miles northeast of Buffalo. Subsequently , congress granted the company the right of way across the Crow Indian reservation , nnd the war department issued a similar permit with regard to the Fort Custer , Mont. , mili tary reserve. The company announced Its Intention to commence the work of construction by April 1. and when that time arrived and no indica tions appeared in support of the announce ment , public opinion branded the whole af fair as a right-of-way sohomo. Mr. Briscoo , however , brings news to the effect that a corps of surveyors were to have begun work on the line yesterday , with Instructions to at once prepare the way for construction , and says that the company will build und equip the road this fall as fur as the Crow agency , a distance of fifty miles south from the Northern Pacific. This will place the cen ter of this rich stock-raising and agricultural country within u hundred miles of railway communication , and the Big Horn & South ern company will endeavor to divert the heavy business of Johnson county , hereto fore controlled by the Fremont , Elkhorn & Missouri Valley rflad , to the northern com mercial artery , having fifty miles the best of the situation.
