Special to THE BKE. ! Gcorgo Hitchcock ,
secretary of the American art Jury In Paris ,
lias eloped with Miss O'llalloran , of St.
Paul , Minn. Hitchcock first cnmo into notice
several years ago , through the success of his
tulip picture , which received honoraolo men
tion In the salon. Miss O'llalloran is a
western girl who came to Paris two years
since for the benefit of her health and has
followed the profession of a copyist. Hitch
cock was married eight years ago to a charm
ing and clever woman. Ho first
met Miss O'Hnlloran over n year ago. Ho
remarked at the tlmo that she was a pretty
American girl who seemed qulto alone. The
acquaintance grow Into friendship , much
against Mrs. Hitchcock's ' approval , when
Hitchcock Induced the girl to become ono of
his pupils last summer. During the summer
Miss O'Hnlloran attempted to paint Dutch
sketches , ono of which , after the master had
completed aud sulllciontly used his Influence
with the Jury , was placed on the top
line of the American gnllory exhibition
Ho fell very ill nnd was nursed by Mrs.
Hitchcock. On their return to Paris In the
autumn a worthy gentleman suggested that
the friendless young American girl should bo
protected by his wife , as she was already be
coming much gossiped nbout In the nrtistlo
circles of Paris. A number of well known
American nriists spoke to Mrs. Hitch
cock of the girl so lightly
thut she took up arms In
her defense and declared It to bo a shame.
Mrs. Hitchcock agreed , and the girl was al
lowed to remain an tomato of her house
hold , and was chaperoned to soirees and
promenades , etc. , by the wife of the man
who was , during all thcso months , carrying
on n duplicity which , If It had not so bour-
geolso and Inartistic tin ending , might have
added ono more note to tils reputation lor-
superficial cleverness. Finally a sister of
the pretty llttlo American arrived fern
n few weeks' visit , and wus asked
by Mrs. Hitchcock to spend a fort
night ns her giiest. Tnat the sisters
mlcht bo together after their long scpnru-
nlion , being ardent Homan Catholics , a littla
pilgrimage was planned to Rome , where
Miss Agnes was to bo presented to the pope.
The older sister acted , as chaperone to the
young devotee nud suspected nothing. Dur
ing their absence , Mrs. Hitchcock seized the
opportunity of ridding herself of the incubus
of her young charge aud. declared that , as
her sister had now arrived. the
girl wus sufficiently protected. The hus
band was all tenderness nnd devo
tion , and declared himself pleased to bo
rid of tlio girl. Ho , however , foil into a
state of feigned illness and declared himself
unfit to leave Pans to do his summer's paintIng -
Ing , nnd told his wife that his nerves we o
utterly unstrung by the responsibility of
mnnuging the entire American jury and his
prominent position as piintor-in-chlof of the
American section , and that ho must remain
in the city under n doctor's caru until the
Roman pilgrimage was ended. Miss O'Hal-
loran returned from Roaio last Monday evenIng -
Ing nnd came at once with her
sister to Hitchcock's apartments nnd
asked to rom nln a few days longer. She
complained of great fatigue , retired early
nndjrornoinctl in her room the next day to
rest , while Mrs. Hitchcock caved for her ,
never dreaming that there was cause for
concealment in the darkened room , or that
within twenty-four hours both the guileless
American and the honorable secretary to
the American art exhibit would bo skipping
around the co'rner to the shades of Chantilly.
At 9 o'clock lust Wednesday morning Mr.
Hitchcock , as tenderly as ho always
did , kissed Ills wife good-bye and
asked her to meet him at 3 o'clock
In the afternoon in the exhibition. The unsuspecting - >
suspecting wife kept the appointment , but.
lior husband was waiting for the unsuspect
ing American girl , who was too ill to got up.
At dinner there was two vacant chairs and
two wondering women a wife and a sister.
Nine o'clock came and with it a blue tele
gram , saying :
Do not expect mo. Will write.
Gcoiian HITCHCOCK.
CTp the sister there was another , saying ,
with rare pathos and brevity :
You must hold Agnes blameless forever.
GuoitaE Hrra IICOCK.
To an acquaintance yet another :
Bo good to madumo. I think I am crazy.
Yours ever , G. HITCHCOCK ,
Next morning's post brought the following
to Mrs. Hitchcock :
"I can not say what I must. Agncss , con
dition can no longer be concealed , and I do
the only thing loft me. I think I am crazy.
Will you think so and forgot mo. "
A day later information came to a friend
that ho and Miss O'Hnllornn were at an hotel
in Chantilly under the name of Mr. and Mrs.
Smith. Thut letter said ;
"Have hoard nothing since Wednesday ,
, but fear tbo worst. I know you think mo
qulto unworthy of tno slightest consideration ,
but I hope you will deliver the enclosed

In the name envelope there came ono to his
wife , saying :
' I i'l will not liibult you by snylng moro ( linn
Is absolutely necessary , I beg of you to
' think that what I have done has not been
flono without deep sorrow and long pondering -

I live , llttlo I should have told you and asked
L ; yon to forgive mo. Perhaps even now you
may forgive mo. Don't despair. My God ,
' try to llvo. You will be happy , but I shall
never bo. "
, On Sunday last a friend sought Hitchcock ,
in company with the heart-broken bister , to
endeavor to porsuudo him to return to hU
wife , who hud offered to conceal his slrainu
and weakness in order to spare the groy-
liulrcd father of iho young girl.
JUtobcock , alia * Builth , received visitors
nt the Hotel a'Anglotorre ' , to whom ho snld :
"Marriage is a failure. My wife and I are
Incompatible f , 1 love this plrl , and no matter -
tor if she had fifty lovers , to mo she is n
virgin. "
When the girl's ' sister arrived ho refused to
allow her to enter , hut hu forced hOr way
to Mrs. Smith's apartments , where , with
weeping nud prayers , she implored the girl
to return nnd spare the family the publicity.
The always bland Hitchcock replied :
"If either ou of yea attempt to leave thin
room I will shoot you both. "
The older Miss O'Halloran was obliged to
return to Paris alone In spite of her entreat
ies. The wretched girl xvas followed by this
parting shot from Hitchcock i
"If you return to disturb ma again I will
send an account of this to every paper In
America. "
The sister returned , having been promised
by her sister nn Interview the following day.
Early yesterday morning the faithful woman
returned to Chnutllly with the necessary
tolletto articles for the girl.
Mrs. Hitchcock left Purls last night to
sail with friends on the City of Paris from
Liverpool to-morrow. She will remain with
the family of Hitchcock's brother at Narra-
gansctt.

Winning Over the Indians.
KiDon AOENOY , Duk. , ( via - Hush-

TUB BBB. | Yesterday being Sunday , but
ittlo was done. The Indians still continue
liolalng numerous small councils , nnd almost
continuously visit General Crook nnd Major
\Vnrncr for Information upon points of the
bill which nro still knotty problems to them.
After thcso consultations many go directly to
the agent's oulco and sign , making the out-
ook for final success gradually grow
brighter. These llttlo councils nro produe-
ng a division among themselves which can
only lead to making conversions in favor of
the bill and getting many Indians Informed
of Its merits , of which they know nothing
before. Many Indians had mudo up
heir minds to fight the bill before -
fore the commission oven cumo , through
the Influence of the old chiefs , and although
the commission has taken the greatest pains
to have the bill carefully and intelligently
read over and ever again to them , they have
nald but little attention to it. Thcso talks
and. disputes have opened the eyes of many ,
and they are becoming advocates of the bill.
American Horse and Turning Elawk openly
advocate It after having spoken a number of
rimes In council nirainst it. As at Rosebud ,
taking laud In severally is their great bug
bear and the most dilllcult thing for them to
understand , the idea prevailing that tha
government will take all their laud from
them which remains over their allotment.
Tills morning a petition was started petition
ing the commission and through it the gov
ernment , with the provision that if they
would sign this treaty that
It would never nsk them to
sell any moro of their land , but to deed to
them forever , in a body , all laud loft over
their allotment.
The division of the commission , by which
Governor Foster loft yesterday for Santee
to secure signatures there , in the opinion of
many white residents nnu half-breeds , was a
mistake , us many Indians of the opposition
seem to think it is a victory for thsm for a
portion of the commission to leave. But this
opinion must soon pass uwav , us the Indians
are gradually realizing that the commission
is hero to win in earnest , and tire laying a
regular s'cge ' and beating thorn at their own
game of strategy nnd diplomacy. The inter-
lerenceofUed Cloud's young men as sol
diers , interrupting nnd breaking up the coun
cil when anyone spoke in favor of the bill , is
one of the things of the past , as the police
have orders to promptly arrest them.
Major W. J. Polloclc , formerly Indian inspector
specter , removed for speculating in Indian
lands and property , will bo hero to-morrow.
Ho cnuio as Hed Cloud's attorney and has
great influence with Hed Cloud , us ho is the

for corruption. It is stated here thut ho has

CHICAGO , Juno 24. Tonight's sensation in
.ho . Croniu case is a circumstantial report
, httt the authorities have information she w-
ng that Camp 20 , of the Clan-na-
Gnol , after a formal trial , found
Cronln guilty of being n British spy. The
charge was that Cr'onln , under the gutso
of endeavoring to expose the alleged
matfcasanco of Alexander 'Sullivan , Michael
llolnnd nnd DennIS Fe&ly , wtts In reality at
tempting to bring about n publio investiga
tion of the work nnd accounts of the order
for thoJnformntlon of the British govern
ment nnd the London Times commission. It
was shown that the exposure of the workings
of the order , which would be necessary In or
der to refute Cronin's chargcj , would furnish
to the London Times nil the Information it
had despaired of obtaining by the appoint
ment tf a gnvornmoilc Rub-commission in
America. Cronln'n maneuvers , it was also
tiolntcd out. whatever his motives , could
hardly help but insure the extradition of
every man who had gone across the Water
on "nctivu service. "
Chief Hubbitrd nud States Attorney Longo-
ncckcr neither explicitly nlllrm nor deny this
report.
The htory Is that two trials of Cronln wore
hold. The first was in January , but when it
came to rendering Iho decision of the evi
dence ono man weakened. Tho. trial com-
mlttco was dissolved , but subsequently rcor-
ganbod In secret , the pluco of the man who
weakened being filled by another man ,
Tlio trial coramittco consisted of seven
persons , citch of wnom it Is said Is now under
surveillance. They did ubt sentence any ono
to death nor did they liaVo anything to do
with luring Crouin from his ofllco or with
the scoiics in the Carlson cottage. All that ,
it Is claimed , was the outgrowth df the verdict -
dict , which was simply t'int the proof showed

Secretary Blaine nud Sir Julian Paunco
fete talked long and earnestly nt the state
department to-day. Much color Is therefore
assumed to bo given to the Ottawa dispatch
of this morning- ; which sets forth that orders
have boon received by the Dominion gov
ernment from England that no stops shall betaken
taken to protect the Canadian sealers ; that a
joint commission or maritime uowcrs would
bo sutrgesicd to dccldo whether Bohrlng sea
is a closed sea or not , and to award damages
for the vessels already seized. His-more
firmly believed hero than over that there
will bo no English interference with Ameri
can control , this season nt least. The sudden
moderation of the Canadian government nnd
the prestige of tlio state department in the
Samoau conference uro additional reasons
why republicans are satisfied that
the Harrison administration means busi
ness nnd that Blulnc Is up to snuff.

the reason for Scot clary Buyiird's leniency

that the marauders subscribed liberally to

clares that $100,030 would not bo too much
for them to give. Twenty-sis thousand souls
wore taken unlawfully in 18SS. These wore

ered another decision against the Rock Is

Since the contract was made curs of that
kind htivo brcomo subject to extra charge.
The decision says : "Said arrangements ,
therefore , as the mutter now stands , contem
plates furnishing curs of a special kind at
certain points which are not offered ut other
points , and which are not proposed to be so-
offered. This is a discrimination between
persons participating In the same excursion
which it is difllcult to justify and which is
apparently illegal. The true course obviously
is for said company to"procuro the cancella
