The missing man has always insisted and declared himself prepared to prove that not one-tenth of the funds published in the American papers as having been collected for the Land league ever went across the water, and of the hundred and one theories concerning his disappearance the one that obtains the most credit is that he has gone to London to testify to this fact John Conklin, the saloon keeper with whom he boarded, was interviewed at length by a representative of the United Press, and when pressed plainly indicated by his agitated manner that he knew more than he cared to say concerning the mystery. He would neither admit nor deny that Cronin had received letters or cable dispatches from Bugland within the past few weeks, but contented himself with insisting that the man was dead and that the mystery could not be clea ed up inside of threo months. Among other thing he said that several plots had been formed to kill the missing man, and within a month he had been shadowed by a delegate from another city who had been sworn to kill him. The decree of death, he added, had gone out against another opponent of the Irish Land league controllers, who resided in Philadelphia.Opened by President Carnot Amid Great Enthusiasm.

His position is untenable, and he never would have attacked me had he been sober. That speech of his was a drunken speech, you know. I'll give him enough of a reply, however. Til fire it at him for the next three weeks and then he will let me alone for five years. I shall not hear any more from him during my lifetime, for I don't expect to live another five years. I suppose he was celebrating his (?) capture of New Orleans. He claims it, I understand, although the city was in the possession of the marine corps for fully three days before Butler and his troops got there. I know that because I towed them."
