The strength shown by both sides in the contest has been such as to command the respect of each, and it is thought that the Cardinal's wise arbitration will go far to bring this method of settling disputes into more general use.

Old Ocean Claimed Them for it Has Been Both Tendered and Winnipeg, Man., Sept, 13. — Detective George Williams, of Chicago, who is here, informed a reporter that ho hail discovered evidence of the greatest importance in connection with the Cronin murder. He has learned positively who gave the Winnipeg chief of police the information upon which he arrested Burke, and has also discovered that after Burke had been captured and lodged in jail here Clan-na-Gael men were sent from Chicago to make efforts to assassinate the prisoner. It has leaked out that an attempt was made to kill the prisoner while in jail, the would be assassins making good their escapo. This has been kept hushed up by the authorities, but Detective Williams makes no effort to conceal the facts from the lawyer who defended Burke. Williams claims that he has succeeded in learning the source from which they obtained funds to conduct the defense, and he intimates that several prominent Chicago men will be called upon to make important explanations.

Protection of Sea "Walls or Lowlands Chicago, Sept. 13.—Just before noon today there was an explosion of gas in a plumber's shop on Lake Btreet, in which 16 were hurt, 4 fatally.

The Atlanta left Hew York for Newport on Monday, and should have arrived there on Wednesday morning at the latest. When last seen by a passing schooner the Atlanta was plunging badly, and the schooner's crew reported that she did not show much buoyancy. The Atlanta, however, is regardod at the navy department/ a first class sea boat. Her non-arrival is, therefore, inexplicable. The Stains Were Human Blood, of the Storm—All the Details Available.

The conference lasted for over two hours and toward tho close became very animated. None of the principals could be seen, but Dr. Frohn stated to a reporter that he understood that the lawyers wepfl e[)denvoping to persuade Dr. Brandt to testify thqt the stains on the waHs of the «ottage were made by blood from an animal and not from a human being.

Philadelphia, Sept 13.—That little village built upon the sauddune which separates Bai negat Bay from the At a ticOcean and known as Barnegat, is now practically out of the world, and the gravest feais are entertained that it may have been swept out if existence by the ravenous waves of yesterday's storm. Sioce last Monday morning not a gleam of intelligence from the isolated little city by the sea has been received from any source. The sit iation of Baroegafla very similar to that of Atlantic City, but it Is much more exposed, by reason of the fact that it is a great deal faither out from the mainland. Instead of having the meadows or lowlands to connect it with the mainland, as in the case with Atlant.c City, it has back of it a great stretch of waters known as the bay, across which the wind and waves can Bweep with irresistible fcrce. At Atlantic City thousands of dollars have been spent to raise the level of the island above the sea. The greatest heig'hth of land above the mean tide ijbut 13 feet, while the average sr ificial data is but eight feet. At Barnegat no such improvements have been made to speak of, and the level, or data is perhaps not more than from five ta six feet above mean tide. As the heighth of the storm tide over thej meadows of| Atlantic City averaged seven feet, the probabilities are, as near as can be estimated, from sources available, that Barnegat has been entirely submerged to a depth of from six to ten fcet. Barnegat is reached bj a spur ofrailway track which crosses tDn to the sand dune reef several miles below the C ity and below the bay itself. From all appearances this has been entirely •vashed away, together with the telegraph and telephone wires, and communication of any sort '»i therefore impossible. What gives rise to the existing fear that the city has been blotted out, together with its population of 200 souls, is the fact that no boat or craft of any kind has yet come to the ma|n land across tho great bay. The waters of the bay are in such a turbulent condition that as yet no one has da red to at'empt to venture across them and convey aid to the storm-bound islanders, or to biing back any information concerning them, if indeed any of them are still alive. Ifen and boats are ready to start acrop.s the bay from the mainland the moment it is thought that a safe passage can be made. 75c to $1, for 35c each " Misses Fine Corsets value 50 to 75c for 25c each.

THE UNFORTUNATE'S FRIEND, Chicago, Sept. 13.—Thirty-four venire men wore examined in the Cronin trial. Most pf them were business men who had formed opinions or bad conscientious scruples against the Infliction of the death penalty, The defense used up eight and the state one of its peremptory challenges during the day. This is the most progress made in a single day since the trial began. Four jurors were held ovi.r night, among them being Farmer James Pearson, who has been passed repeatedly by both sides, and who now looks like a possible juror.  William Hanna, of Cleveland, who represents the iron and steel interests, said his visit to the foundries of Scotland and other countries convinoed him that the European trade was not to he compared bo that of America, The wages were 83 per cent, below those in this country, Tlie Assembly Celling Scandal. ]tfW Ellen Gilford Leaves Thousands of A nlntory of tlie Trouble, Albany, Sept. 13.—Philip Runs and Charles Tieraan, capitol employes, who are on tho grand jury, will not attend again until the ceiling case has been disposed of on account of newspaper criticism of their friendship for Andrews. Attorney Genoral Tabor says that he thought there was a mistake made in allowing either Mr. Russ or Mr. Tiernan on the jury. He comprehended the statutes in the matter apd knew Judge Nott's difficulties in the case, but he hoped the men would ask to be excused from serving. He wanted a thoroughly impartial and unassailable decision from the grand jury. Deputy Comptroller Westbrook and Commissioner Perry testified before the grand jury in the afternoon. jUpIlars to Various Institutions. The following statement of tlie beginning and end of the Tanner difficulty is official and thoroughly verified in every respect: Before his departure from Washington for his vacation trip Secretary Noble on several occasions spoke to the president about the course Qf Commissioner Tanner and his clerks in the matter of rerating pensioners, and also in relation to unguarded remarks which the commissioner had made from time tf? fjme. The president was inclined to defeud Tanner, ftjid he did so several times. Recently Mr. Tanner made speeches at Elniira, Chautauqua and Milwaukee which called forth strong protests from prominent Republicans, Directly after the Milwaukee incident Secretary Noble returned to the city determined to bring the Tanner matter to a climax. He expressed his viewB to the president in a very positive manner, and intimated that he would retire from the interior department if Tanner was continued in office much longer.

Finally one of the crew of the Parker could stand it no longer, and tearing away the cords that bound him, throw himself into the water. In a few minutes another followed his example, then another and another, until the hist man, the captain, was seen to throw himself overboard and disappear in the waves. Those on the Morse were horror stricken at the eight. The captain of the Morse kept his courage and frequently urged his men to keep up heart, as he still had confidence that some one would come from the slioro and render aid. The first gloam of hope occurred when Capt Henry Williamson's tug, owned by the Lukenbaks, of Philadelphia, saw the flag of distress flying, and at once began making desperate efforts to reach tho Morse, but it was soon evident that he was unable to do it.

Mr. Bartield is said to have incurred the omnity of the Irish Invincibles by some utterances of his in a series of Tory polftical speeches in London. There are vague rumors of his having been lured to Ireland by a fictitious invitation to lecture there, but the police have not yet been able to verify this supposition.
