At the Cleveland reception and dinner, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to-night, given to ex-President Cleve land by the Toung Men's Democratic Club, Mr. Cleveland made his first political speech since leaving the "White House. The reception was set down for 6:30, and Presi dent John H. Y. Arnold and a couple of hundred members of the club were on hand to receive their guest, but Mr. Cleveland was a little late, and so, in fact, were Mayor Grant and Governor Hill, and' the dinner hour, announced for 7:30, did not come around until an irbur later. Colenel Elliott F. Shepard's reporters were there with an unwonted air of being The Guest of the Evening. up late, and were delighted by the tardi ness of the guests. They ran in and out among them asking each one of them: ''Are you for Cleveland?" The Fannlest Accident in the World. One of them stumbled onto Colonel La mont and asked the absorbing question: "Are you for Cleveland?" Colonel Lamont, looking quizzically at his questioner, said: "What for?" Just before 8:30 o'clock the procession of young Democrats and their guest, which by that time had swelled into 400, moved into the great dining hall of the hotel. It is the largest in New York, and had been luxuriantly decorated with flowers. The chandeliers were entwined with laurel leavee. Great banks of roses were on the tables, and just jn front of Mr. Cleveland was a vase of royal Worcester ware, holding an expensive collection of orchids. These were for Mrs. Cleveland, and when the din ner was well under way Jefferson Levy, for the committee, sent them over to her at the Victoria Hotel. All Kinds of Democrats Present. At the main table was the guest of the evening on the right of the club President, J. H. V. Arnold. Others in places of honor were Governor Hill, Mayor Grant, ex-Minister to England Phelps, Hon. W. L. Scott, Hon'. C.F. Black, Hon. J. F. Bussell, Hon. Bourke Cochrane, Hon. A P. Fitch, ex Secretary of the Treasury Fairchild, Fred erick B. Coudert, Hon. W. C. P, Brecken lidge, ex-Governor Hoadly. of Ohio, Hon. P. A Collins, Colonel D. S. Lamont and "W". D. Garrison. About seven long tables, laid at right angles to the guests' table, were gathered several hundred other banqueters. Before " the guests took their seats, Mr. Cleveland was tendered an impromptu ovation, in which not only those in the banquet room joined, nut also those who crowded the par- , lors outside. When the dinner had been fairly started an orchestra, which was sta- i tioned in a recess, began the rendition of se lections of music, which continued at inter vals during the banquet. Letters of regret were read, among which were the following: Don Dickinson Sends His Tribute. Writing from Detroit, under date of May 20, Don M. Dickinson writes to state that he is unable to attend the banquet, and closes his letter thus: If the faith of any good man In popular gov ernment has been shaken because, In his busy life, the American citizen has seemed unob servant to public affairs and public men, heed less and nnappreciatlve of public virtue and public vice, and above all ungrateful for signal . loyalty and unselfishness In the service of the - Republic, that faith most needs be strongly re inforced by tho unmistakable evidences, every , ' day manifest, ot the universal desire to do " honor to your distinguished guest. xaott who hare been ere closely associated with him in his public career, and who, more than others, have known his high patriotism, his intrepid courage, his great ability, and withal, the accurate justice of his mind, can not but be Gratified at these signs of ide popu lar appreciation of the character of Graver Cleveland, In his fidelity to the people ho ful filled McCaulay's conception of an ideal ruler and statesman, in that he "never hesitated to -disoblige the few Representatives of special interests who had access to him for the sake of the many whom he would never see?' As truly as any man who ever lived, he has stood for tho cardinal principle of American liberty which is, "no burden upon the citizen save for the benefit for all the citizens alike." There was to him no bitterness in defeat, be cause he had the serenity which the conscious, ness of duty well done confers; and now pos sessing the approval, the admiration, and the affection of his fellow countrymen, it may be said of him: Msrcellm no more true glory feds Than Caesar with a Senate at his heels. Senator Daniel, in sending his regrets, remarked: Virginia Back In the Democratic Fold. It is a source of pride to Virginia Democrats that tbey brought their State Into the Demo cratic fold, electing a Governor, eight out of ten Representatives and two Senators in har mony with Mr. Cleveland's administration. Tbey abide in the faith that Democratic prin ciples will soon again come to the front with power, and that thoy will meet their brethren of the State of Seymour, Tilden and Cleveland upon the heights of victory. Ex-Secretary of State Bayard, writing from Wilmington, stated that he had just received his letter of invitation dated May 13, and supplemented the statement thus: "I am unhappily in the midst of the trouble incident to moving my housenold from "Wash ington to this place and am debarred from tho pleasure of being present I cannot, however, refrain from an expression of sincere satisfac tion that the yonng Democrats of New York should thus indicate their appreciation of Mr. Cleveland's personal character add public services and of his Eminent Fitness to Guide Them in the paths of poIiticaIwisdom and recti tude. They honor themselves when they pay grateful respect to him. My experience of public men and political action extends over many years, with much of grave public Inter est, and of Mr. Cleveland's administra tion of tho duties cf the Presidency of the United States, I had close and constant opportunity of observation, and tried the hiehest standard known among patriotic and honorable men, testing him mor ally and intellectually. I have known person ally no man into whos9 hands a great trust of power over the happiness, welfare and integrity of a great nation living nnder the forms of government could more safely be confided than into those of yonr honored guest. It was nearly 11 o'clock before the cigars were lighted and the long list of speeches were begun. When the presiding officer in troduced Mr. Cleveland there was a furore of applause, and Mr. Cleveland himself arose. Enthusiasm Almost Unbounded. Then it was that the enthusiasm of the assembled Democracy arose to a point that at one time threatened to overstep all bounds. Men stood on the tops of the tables. Cheers became yells of light, and the stamping of feet upon the glass-strewn tables raised a jingle that must have been music to the ears of the very few who, like the conscious cause of all this tumult, listened and waited for a lull to come. But would it come at all? Just as one salvo of applause seemed about to sub side someone else would propose three more cheers for Grover Cleveland and ere these had ceased to echo another call would be made, until the tumuli ceased for lack of force. Mr. Cleveland stood calmly await ing the pleasure of,his friends. His imper turbability was remarked by all who watched his face. He began his speech in a clear ringing tone, and kept it up till he finished. What Mr. Cleveland Had to Say. Many incidents of my short residence in this good city have served to fill my cup of grati tude and to arouse my appreciation of the kindness and consideration of those with whom I have made my home. The hospitality for which the citizens of New York have long been distinguished has outdone itself in my welcome. The members of my profession have, upon my return to its activiteis, received me with fraternal greetings, and personal friends have not permitted me to feel like a stranger in a strange city. And yet, I -can truly say that none of tbesc things will be more vividly or gratefully remembered than the opportunity afforded me by this occasion to greet the politi cal f rienas I see about me. While I believe that no one is more suscept ible tban I of every personal kindness, and while I am sure that no one values more his personal friendships, it certainly should cause no surprise when I say that these things are not more cherished than my attachment and loyal ty to true Democratic faith and my obligations to the cardinal principles of its party organiza tion. Ho Has Been Highly Honored. I have been honored by my party far beyond my deserts. Indeed, no man can deserve its highest honors. After six years of public ser vice. I return to yon, my party friends. Six years have 1 stood as your representative in the State and Nation, and now I take my place again in the ranks, more convinced than ever that the cause of true Democracy is the cause of the people their safeguard and their hope. I come to you with no excuses nor apologies, and with no confession of disloyalty. It is not given to man to meet all various and conflicting views ot party duties which prevail in an or ganization where individual opinion is so freely tolerated as in the Democratic party. Because these views are various and conflicting, some of them must be wrong. And yet, when tbey aro honestly held and advocated, tbey should pro voke no bitterness nor condemnation;butwnen they are dishonestly proclaimed, as a mere cover and pretext for personal resentment and disappointment, they should be met by the ex posure and contempt which they deserve. If with sincere design and intent one charged with party representation has kept the party faith, that must answer his party obligation. No Man Is Always Perfect. No man can lay down the trust which he has held in behalf of a generous and confiding people and feel that at all times he has met in the best possible way the requirements of his truBt:buthe is not derelict in duty if he has conscientiously devoted his efforts and bis judgment to the people's service. I have delib erately placed in close connection loyalty to Democratic principles and devotion to the in terests of the people, for in my view they be-' long together and should mean the same thing. But in this day of partisan feeling and attachment it is well for us to pause and recall the truth that the only justification for the existence ot any party is tho claim that in principle and performance its object and purposes are the promotion of the public good and the advance ment ot tho welfare and prosperity of our en tire country. There never was a party plat form or declaration of principles which did not profess these things and make them the foundation of party creed; and any body of men who should openly proclaim that they were associated tozether for the express pur pose of gaining supremacy in the Government with tbe sole intent of distributing offices and the spoils of victory among the associates, would be treated with ridicule and scorn. Parties Should Always be Honest. Thus are we bronght face to face with the proposition that parties should, no more than individuals, be untruthful and dishonest Of course, in the supremacy of party there are ad vantages to its members and this Is not amiss. But when high party alms and prof essions are lost sight of or abandoned, and" tho benefit of office holding and personal pelf are all that re main to inspire party activity, not only is the confidence of those relied on for patriotic sup port forfeited, but tbe elements ot cohesion and of effective and lasting political strength are gone. The honest differences of opinion that mast always exist upon questions of prin ciple and public policy should funfish abund ant occasion for the existence off parties, and point out their field of usefulness The study and discussion of these qnestionSiCannot fail to result in more valuable citizenship and more Intelligent and better equippedpartisans. When we seek for the causeOfthe perpetuity of tho Democratic party ind its survival through every crisis andemirgency and in the face of all opposition, we flnft it in the fact tht its corner-stone is laid in devotion to the rights of the people a&d sympathy with all tbugt WW which tend to tho advancement of their wel fare and happiness. Though heresy may some times have crept into its organization, and though party conduct may at times have neon influenced by tbe shiftiness which is the habit nil device of its opponents, there has always remained, deeply imbedded in its nature and character, that spirit of true Americanism and that love of popular rights which has made it indestructible in disaster and defeat, and has constituted it a boon to tho country in the time of triumph and supremacy. i The Founder of Democracy Quoted. The great founder of our party, as he con secrated himself by a solemn oath to the faith ful performance of tbe duties of the Presl dental office, and pledged himself to the preservation, protection and defense of the Constitution, after presenting to his assembled fellow-countryment the causes of congratula tion found in the conditioner our country and the character of our people, impressively added? "With all these blessings, what more is neces sary to make us a happy and prosperous people? Still one thing more, fellow citizens, a wise and frugal Government which shall restrain men from injuring one another shall. leave tbem otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities." In the lexicon of trne Democracy these words are not obsolete, but they still furnish the in spiration of our efforts and an interpretation of our political faith. Happily tbe party creed which wo profess is not within such narrow lines as that obedience does not permit us to move abreast with the advanced thought of tho country and to meet and test every ques-' tionand apply a principle to every situation. Trne Democracy, staunch in its adhesion to fundamental doctrine, is at the same time, in a proper sense, progressive. It recognizes our growth and expansion and the birth of new thought and sentiment It will judge them all by safe standards, and In all phases of national development it will be prepared to answer, as they arise, every need of tho people and every popular want What Trne Democracy Advocates. True Democracy honestly advocates national brotherhood, to the end that all our fellow countrymen may aid in the achievement of tno grand destiny which awaits us as a nation, and it condemns that pretext of liberality and har mony which, when partisan advantage is to bo gained, gives way for inflammatory appeals to sectional hate and passion, it insists upon that equality before the law which concedes the care and protection of tbe government to simple manhood and citizenship. It does not favor the multiplication of offices and salaries merely to make partisans, nor use the promise and bestowal of place for the purpose of stifling tbe press and bribing tbe people. It seeks to lighten the bnrden of life in every home and to take from tho citizen, for tho cost of govern ment, the lowest possible tribute. We know that we have espoused the cause of right and justice. We know that we have not permitted duty to country to wait upon expe diency. We know that we have not trafficked our principles for success. We know that we have not deceived the people with false prom ises and pretenses, and we know that we have not corrupted nor betrayed tho poor with the money of the rich. Who shall say that these things promise no reward, and that the triumph shall not follow the enlightened judgment and the sober sec ond thought of our countrymen ? There are to-day no weak, weary and de spondent members of the true Democracy and there should be none. Thoughtful atten tion to political topics is thoroughly aroused. Events are day by day leading men to review the reasons for their party affiliations, and the supporters of the principles we profess are con stantly recruited by intelligent young and sturdy adherents. Let us receive their confi dence, and shunning all ignoble practices, let us remain steadfast to Democratic faith and to the cause of our country. If we are true and loyal to these, the day of our triumph will surely and quickly come, and our victory shall be fairly, nobly won, through the invincible spirit of trne Democracy. Governor Hill Adds His Mite. Governor Hill, in his response to "The Democracy of the State," spoke in high terms of the guest, and in the course of his talk related how he had become acquainted with Mr. Cleveland, saying when they were nominated together on the State ticket, in 18S2, he received the following telegram: Buffalo, February 23, 1882, To David B. Bill, Elmlra, X. Y. I Accept ray hearty congratulations on your nomination forXleutenant Governor. Now let us go to work and show the people of the State what two bachelor Mayors can do. Geovek Cleveland. "He has since," said the Governor, "fallen from grace, while I alone have kept the faith. Having married one of the most accomplished ladies of the land, of whom the whole country is justly proud, he has secured a prize better than the Presidency, and I beg to observe, for the benefit of my friends of the Republican newspaper press, that they are at liberty to state that I have been envious of his domestic good fortune ever since." Other speakers were ex-Governor Hoadly, Hon. W. C. P. Breckcnridge (whose speech on "The administration of Grover Cleve land" was called the gem of the evening), Hon. A P. Fitch, W. Bourke Cochrane and F. B. Condert. WORSE AND WORSE. The Broken Bank at Scrnnton Owes Its De posltors $322,000 The Assets Trifling and Mostly on Papor No Dt. tnrbnnco When the Bank Was Opened by tho Assignee. IBFXCIAI. TELEQUAM TO TDK DISPATCn.1 Scbanton, May 27. Fearing a disturb ance, Mayor Bipple to-day ordered the re serve force of policemen on duty at the building of the defunct Scranton City Bank. Their services were not needed, as no excitement prevailed when tbe bank's doors were opened at 8 o'clock by Assignee Gunston. It is known that the bank owed depositors $325,000. Among the visible assets to meet this great liability are $162,000 in due bills, $47,000 in overdrafts which the persons who overdrew their accounts to that extent are expected to make good, the legal liability of the directors and Cashier Jessup's promise to make good the "shortage" for which he is responsible. President Throop's confidence in the final straightening out of the tangle, and his action in becoming Mr. Jessup's security before Alderman Koesler in the sum ot $125,000, is the only hopeful sign in the entire transaction. A meeting of depositors was called this afternoon by ex-Judge Stanton, for the pur pose of taking "concerted action to protect the depositors." Assignee Gunston arrived at the bank soon after 8 o'clock this morning,' and posted up the appended notice on one of the panes of glass in the door: This bank has found it necessary to close its doors and make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors. I will, as assignee, investigate the affairs of the bank and make public as soon as possible a statement of Its condition. J. H. Gunston, Assignee. The strenuous efforts made by Jessup, his attorney and friends to keep the news from the press, and their assertions that the facts were "grossly misrepresented" called forth the following editorial in this evening's Truth: We were disposed to understate the facts in the first exciting hours of the occurrence, rather than indulge in "grossly misleading" statements, because we, in common with the rest of tho community, scarcely believed that such criminal carelessness as'was here shown could be possible in any banking institution; but closer familiarity with the subject shows tbat the situation is much worse tban our first account showed it to be. We are assured upon reliable authority, that tbe bursted bank owes its depositors $322,000. Tho assets with which to liquidate this enormous sum consists of $17-, 000 in overdrafts, $162,000 in due bills, tbe legal liability of the directors, and Mr. Jessup's "shortage-' of J133,000, TEIIXG TO CATCH HER.

THE.INDIAN MUST GO, Eleven Million Acres of the Sioux Lands Will Soon be Opened. IT WILL BE A NEW OKLAHOMA. Prospects That the Bed Men Will Sign tho Dawes Agreement. FACTS ABOUT THE FERTILE .PLAINS Which Will be lha Scene cf Another Wild Bash for Choice Claims. Thousands of persons are awaiting anx iously for the official opening of the Sioux reservation. The Indians are reported to be willing to relinquish their claims on the land for a suitable consideration. If the work of the commission is successful the country will probably be thrown open to settlement in September. Pieere, S. D., May" 27. Not many months hence a part of the great Sioux res ervation will be opened for settlement When this period arrives something akin to the unprecedented Oklahoma boom is an ticipated. The people who have settled on the borders of the reservation are already rubbing their hands together in great glee. They see in the future an era more prosper ous than the budding States, the Dakotas, NORTH m fj$MH , 'lHUBQW j4 : ; -"'Vfr t FALLS THE NEW FBOMISED LAND. have ever been favored with in the past. The twin States will be benefited abont equally by the opening of these 11,000,000 acres of land, rich in everything that will foster agriculture and stockraisihg. The admission of the Dakotas as States and the opening of this fertile territory, which promises so much, are likely to occur about the same lime.J" - ; The rush toward the ''promsed land" has not yet begun, as the public may have been led to suppose from the somewhat sensa tional dispatches sent out from Pierre and other points on the xeservation. No emi grants have as yet arrived at any point on the reservation and none are expected until the reservation is legally opened. No "souatters," except those termed "squaw men" by the people living on the border of the reservation, have been added to the num ber that have been on the land for months past , s NO TEESPASSINO ALLOWED. There is no chance for them to get upon the reservation; there is a perfect system of Indian police at every point where a cross ing could be made, to prevent anything of this kind. And these copper-colored guards are backed up by Uncle Sam's boys in blue, who have strict orders from Washington to prevent trespass. There is every reason to believe that the Indians will assent to the Dawes bill opening the reservation, which the last Congress made a law, but there is of course a possibility that they may refuse to sign. It is possible that the reservation will be thrown open for settlement as early as two months hence, but this is not probable. If the Sioux commission is successful in secur ing the signatures ot sufficient Indians by that time, the gateway of the much talked of Dakota garden spot will swing outward. Tepees on the Reservation. The commission begins its work among the Indians about June 1. At each agency there must be, necessarily, a lengthy "pow wow" with the Indians. The most sanguine real estate boomer on the borders of the reservation admits that it will take the com mission fully 60 days to complete its tour among the Indians. Ecports from missionaries and agents at the different agencies received at Pierre, Chamberlain and Bismarck, are to the effect that the Indians have expressed an inclina tion to sign. They thoroughly understand the provisions of the law, and while not entirely satisfied with it in its entirety, they will assent, fearing that a failure to do so will precipitate action by the Government which will be not -nearly so favorable to them. Strong opposition is feared from the Indians at the Standing Bock Agency, although John Grass, considered the most influential and brightest Indian in the Sionx tribe, is advocating the signing of the agree ment.

Although the reservation opening has been pretty generally discussed for two or three years, but few people living anywhere except on tbe actual border of the land have any idea as to the extent of the tract to be opened for settlement or the amount re tained for the Indians. The land compris ing the entire Sionx reservation stretches from tbe Misfomi riyeroa the east to the 'p"' p Black Hills on the west, from the Northern Nebraska boundary line on the south almost to the town of Bismarck in If orth Dakota. It contains 22,010,043 acres. Of this amount 11,000,000 are to be opened for settlement. The different reservations now have an In dian population as follows: Male Fem'Io Total Cheyenne Biver Agency.. 1,337 1,623 2,965 wow ireeK ana iiower Brule. 1,121 Pine Ridge Agency 2,376 RosebucL. 3,725 Standing Bock 2,180 1,153 271 497 4,873 4,666 8,291 2,600 4,690 Total. 10,719 12,361 23.093 This resume of the population Bhows that there are about 11,000 males in the six agencies, of whom probably 6,000 are adults, and to carry out the provisions of the Con gressional act about 4,000 signatures must be secured. The throwing open of the 11,000, 000 acres for settlement does not by any mean sdeprive poor Bo of his landed rights. Six different reservations are set apart for the Indians, and are held in reserve for a period of 25 years. HOMESTEAD LANDS. The land thrown open for settlement is considered equally as good as tbat retained for the Indians. All the remaining land on the great reservation, outside the agency reservations, is to ba restored to the public domain, except American Island, Farm Island and Niobrara Island. The law pro vides that it shall be disposed of by the United States to actual settlers only, under the provisions of the homestead law and under the law relating to town sites, and donates to the city of Chamberlain Ameri can Island, in the Missouri river adjoining that city, for park purposes; also donates Pierre Farm Island, adjoining that city, for park purposes. It is a hard matter to obtain anything like a rational statement regarding the value of the land for farming, grazing and other purposes. Men who have traversed it id freighting and in furnishing supplies to DAKOTA Indians agree that the best part of the tract is situated in tbe central and northern por tions. There is, however, good farming land adjacent to Chamberlain, but the golden spot of the immense section is along the streams in the interior. The (Statement is made, too, that there are thousands of acres of the tract that is as barren and valueless as the Desert of Sahara. This is described as gurnbo" soil, and is as barren ,a3V .flinty rock, and'even Dako tans assert that there is an immense tract of it included in this 11,000,000-acre strip. The provisions upon A Settlers' Wagon Train. which settlers can procure land are those of the homestead law. This requires the pay ment of $1 25 an acre to the Government for all land disposed of for the first three years of the opening, 75 cents per acre for the next two years following, and 50 cents an acre ior ine residue ot tue land undisposed of. The rights of soldiers and sailors under the revised statutes are in no way abridged, however. The money received, from this land is to be used for the support of the Indians, the Government paying the cost of the survey, etc., $100,000 having been appropriated for that purpose. The Indians, should they pre fer, may take up land on the tract thus opened up under the severalty clause, having equal rights with other settlers. The.Gov ernment, however, will have overcome one serious difficulty if the Indians assent to the present act. There is a clause in the bill pro viding that the reservations set aside for the Indians can be purchased by the Gov ernment by securing two-thirds of the total vote of. the Indians upon any designated reservation, without negotiating with those upon other-reservations, each reservation to be secured separately, if necessary. The Indians of the different agencies are just now congregated at the several stations receiving their monthly rations. It is expected that their opinions npon the bill will be canvassed as far as possible. Ba tion day is made a gala day with the Indi ans. They travel many miles to get to the Soint where their rations are distributed and old a jubilee for several" days after they get together. Men who have visited the agencies upon ration days tell some sicken ing stories of gluttony npon the part of the noble red man and 'his numerous squaws and pappooses. The Dispatch cor respondent visited a tepee- village six miles from Pierre, up the Missouri. In some in stances there was some apparent cleanliness about the snowy white tepees, but the greater nnmber were extremely filthy. 'The Indians here are ignorant, the heightflf the ambition of both sexes being to do nothing but to Wet drunk. The indications are that they are highly successful.

King has been released and the evidence against Mc Geehan is weak. Mayor Crelger is very ac tive in the matter. Chicago, May 27. To-night at 10:45 Daniel Coughlin was formerly arrested in the police station cell, where he has been detained on suspicion. An examination by. a justice was held immediately within the stone "walls of the dungeon. A few moments later the Magistrate ordered a Commitment, and Coughlin was hurried out on the way to tbe county jail. The warrant was sworn out by John Cronin, the brother of the dead man. Cough lin is charged directly with the murder, and at this hour is being taken to the county jail. Extraordinary efforts have been made to extort a statement from the detective. No one questions that he is being treated to a taste of the "sweat box" theory, and other arts of which he was so long himself a dis tinguished disciple. The outcome of pitting such an expert against others of tried ability is awaited with keen interest, STEICT SECLUSION. Capt. Bartram was asked: "Has Cough lin been allowed to see a lawyer?" He has no lawyer and says he does not want any," was the reply. In spite of this Mr. W. S. Forrest has been retained in Coughlin's behalf, and called at the station early this evening and demanded to see his client. He was re fused. Mr. Forrest staged that Coughlin's wifo informed him that she had not been allowed to see her husband' when she called at the station Sunday. The police officials gave to the reporters a very touching ac count of an interview they had tender heartedly allowed between husband and wife. SULLIVAN EEALLX AEBESTED.

The last man to be called was Justice Ma honey, theLakeview magistrate, who in troduced Sullivan to Dr. Cronin. They all refused to answer questions, and little could be learned concerning the result of the con ference. AN IMPOETANTjeONFEBENCE. State's Attorney Longenecker's office was carefully locked 'against all intruders for hours this afternoon and evening. An im portant and protracted conference was going on within, at which every phase of the Cronin murder, all the papers left by the murdered man which could throw any light on the foul conspiracy that drove him to his death, the evidence collected against those already arrested for complicity in the crime and the suspicions thrown on any of them who are still at liberty but may be placed behind the bars at any minute, were carefully considered. Closeted with Judge Longenecker when the session began at 1 o'clock were Mayor Cregier, Corporation Counsel Hutchinson, Chief of Police Hubbard, Attorney Luther Laflin Mills and W. J. Hynes. Mayor Cregier went over the mass of evidence thoroughly witn a view ot considering tnc possibility of arresting some of the prom inent irishmen who are cnargea oy ur. Cronin's friends with being implicated in the conspiracy, though not directly con nected with the murder. The conferees were very chary about tell ing what conclusions they bad come to in regard to making arrests of the "suspects." PEOJIINENT AEEEST3 COMING. "Nothinghasbeen done inthatdirection," insisted Judge LongenecKer, "we have only been preparingtheevidence for the Coroner's inquest." One of the conferees admitted- mat tue eviuence consiuereu was implicating prominent enemies of the murdered man in the Irish-American Society, and hinted that important arrests would soon be made. It is probable, however, that the Coroner's in vestigation will be completed first. The young man, King, who was arrested lasfnight on the strength of the prisoner Woodruff's story, was released to-day after the police bad received a visit from J. S. and E. M. MacDonald, attorneys, who had interested themselves in his behalf. The police think King is all right Contrary to manv assertions,Peter McGeehan.thePhiLv delphian, is apparently not the man who drove Cronin away to his doom. Frank T Scanlan, a friend of Cronin's, who knew McGeehan and who saw Cronin driven away, says -McGeehan is not the man. Liy eryman Donald says McGeehan is not the man who took the rig from the stable and started for Cronin's office. SOME DIFFERENCE. ) The few people who saw the man who hired the white horse at Dinan's livery stable and drove Dr. Cronin to his doom, are so uncertain in their descriptions of his personal appearance that his identification from these sources is very doubtful. Most of them acknowledge tbat they conld not positively identify the man were they to see him again. Mrs. Conklin, who admitted Ahe man when he called for Dr. Cronin, said she saw him with bis hat off. He was .of medium proportions, with dark hair, cmbed down and mussed, but not shaggy. His eyes were large, dark and deep set, his' cheek bones prominent, his nose and theine of his jaw straight. He was clean shaven, with the exception of a good-sized dark mustache, which did not hide tbe lines of his mouth. Mrs. Conklin said that,lhe man's face was flushed and beseemed excited. He wore a plain black suit and an overcoat, the collar of which was turned np behind. Mr. Frank Scanlan is the young man who also saw the man in Dr. Cronin's office. Mr. Scanlan slipped in then to get a key from the doctor,and had but a passing glimpse of the stranger. He describes him as having large dark eyes, a fnll jaw and a dark brown muitache. HE WAS IMPATIENT. "As I delayld tbe doctor for a minute or two in gettingthe key," said Mr. Scanlan,' "the 'man loiked at me with an angry IT'S A. SPLENDID MEDIU come-off-the-perch look and seemed impa tient." When the man called at Dinan's livery stable to get the rig there were two men there beside Mr. Dinan. They were a man named Jack Dorregan and a blacksmith named Jones. They agreed in their de scription of the man and said that he wore a light-weight long coat or spring overcoat with the collar turned up all around. He had a stubby mustache and a beard of about eight days' growth. In this their descrip tion does not agree with, that of Mrs;. Conk lin who said' the man's face was clean shaven. Detective Whalen, who accompanied De tective Coughlin in his search for the man Smith from Houghton, Mich., for whom Coughlin hired a white horse on May 4, has been suspended from duty pending further investigation. THE! ALL DENT IT. Members of the Clan-Nn-Gncl Talk About the Cronin Murder. rSrXCIAI. TZXEOBAX TO THE DISPATCTI.l New Yoek, May 27. Clan-na-Gael men here of both factions vigorously denied to day the story from Chicago that the society as a society had anything to do with the murder of Dr. Cronin. John Devoy, who was mentioned as one of the men condemned along with Cronin, refused to say anything except: "If the authority for the story that the Clan-Na-Gael Society condemned Dr. Cronin and killed him were made public some light might be cast on who the real murderers are." Michael Bres lin, another anti-Sullivan man, declared that the constitution of the society did not admit of any member being tried for any offense whatever without being personally confronted before the tribunal with his accuser or the representative of his accuser. Since Dr. Cronin was admittedly ignorant tbat he had been condemned or even tried, he had not been tried or condemned by the Clan-na-Gael or any committee of it. John J. Moroney is understood to repre sent the Sullivan faction of the Clan-Na-Cael in thiscity. He said to-day that he did not believe that the society or any faction of it had a hand in the murder; It was a private misunderstand ing, he thought, and there was a woman in it. He dweit on the fact that a woman's finger had been found in the catch where Cronin's body was discovered. A BREWER'S YI0T0RY. The Supreme Court Grants a Ulandamns Re quiring the Philadelphia License Court to Show Cause for Its Refusing to Grant a Wholesale License. rsrzciAi, teleoeaji to the dispatch.i Philadelphia, May 27. The applica tion of the Prospect Brewing Company for a writ of alternative mandamus requiring the judges of the License Court to showjeause for their refusal to give it a wholesale license, was to-day granted by the Supreme Court. On May 16 it -was stated in print that "the action of the high license law has foiled a big enterprise of the great English syndicate which is now buying up all the large breweries of the country that they can lay their hands on. The refnsal of a license to brewer Charles Wolters, President of the Prospect Brewing Company, to-day, is the stumbling block in the way of the syndicate." The article went on to say that Mr. Wol ters and the directors of the company had just accepted an offer from the synd cate to sell the Prospect Brewery for 8C50, 000. .Negotiations between S. & W. Worm ser, the New York bankers, on behalf of the syndicate, and Mr. Wolters and Lawyer William F. Johnston, on behalf of the brew ing company, had been in progress for some time past, but no agreement as to the con sideration was reached until a few days ago, when the representatives of the syndicate made the offer of $650,000. The sale was conditional on only1 one point, and that was the defeat of the Constitutional amendment, which is to be voted on June 18. Neither side, however, anticipated the passage of the amendment, and the sale was considered all but perfected. The present contingency (that is, the refnsal of a license) was never considered as even possible, and did not figure in the negotiation. Shortly after this publication the writ of alternative mandamus wu3 applied for on the grounds that the company had complied with all the laws of the State, and that no reason had been given by the License Court for refusing the license. It was the general understanding that the real cause for the Court's action was the manufacture and sale of a drintc known as "Ambrosia," which enabled the unlicensed retail dealers to violate the law. To this the company an swered that such manufacture and sale was the authorized act of the Superintendent, and that, when the drink had been judicially declared intoxicating, ail dealing in it was stopped. The following is Chief Justice Paxson's order: Per curiam: ) In the matter of the petitions and suggestions of tbe Prospect Brewing Company, and of Karl llutter, Charles Wolters, Charles Subsuer, Jlohn Lndwig, Louis Erb, Charles Wolters, Jr., Franz Wolters, J.

It Is now ordered that a writ of ilternative mandamus issue as craved for In aid petitions, returnable at Harrisburg. in tbe Middle district, on Wednesday, June 5, at 10 a. ir. (A. K. ( The writs were prepared this afternoon by George W. Biddle, of counsel for the petitioners, and will be served at once. District Attorney Graham will probably iepresent the judges of the License Court at the hearing. Furman Shepard has been re tained as additional counsel for the brewers. SOME SENSATIONAL CASES.

The Presbyterian General Assembly, after a very lively debate, yesterday adopted a resolution favoring the enactment of pro hibitory laws in everylState and Territory of the Union. Dr. Crosby and others op posed the resolution, but they were voted, down. The Assembly will probably ad journ to-day. rSPSCIAL TXUCGIUH TO TST DISPATCH. J New Yoek, May 27. The Presbyterian General Assembly, after declaring this afernoon in general terms its sympathy with all movements to bring about total ab stinence in theevening overthrew Dr.Crosby and his supporters, who had brought abou the afternoon result, and came out for pro hibition flat-footed. The proceedings were of a very interesting character throughout and the prohibition victory was only won after an earnest debate in which several prominent clergymen gave utterance to widely different views on the temperance question. At the afternoon session Bev. Dr. Isaac N. Hays, of Pennsylvania, Chairman of the Committee on Temper ance, presented a report in which was em bodied a resolution expressing sympathy with the movement in progress for the com plete suppression of the traffic in intoxicat ing liquors. DE. CEOSBT OBJECTS. Bev. J. Logan Sample, of Black Hills, Dak., offered as a substitute a resolution tbat the Assembly, while not indorsing any political party, desired to express sympathy with the prohibition movement, and to ex tend to its advocates a hearty God speed. Dr. Howard Crosby opposed the substi tute, and said: I have fought the saloons in this city for thir teen years, and ought to know something about the subject. There are two great principles adopted by Christians in this country qn the temperance question. Both seek the destruc tion of the saloon. One is prohibition and the other high license. It would be a great mis take for tbe Presbyterian Church to determine) which is the best method for the purpose. IX prohibition was made the law in New York citato tbe nnmber of saloons would be multi plied. The Prohibitionists are a political party, and we have no right to pledge our adherence to any political body. In reply to Dr. Crosbv, Dr. Sample said that he advocated prohibition because it was scriptural, and be considered it a sad, day for the temperance cause when a large body like the assembly could not bid it God speed. Again Dr. Crosby aroje and said: What right has Dr. Sample to say that Con stitutional prohibition is tbe only thing that will conquer the saloon? I say it will result in free mm. Both prohibition and high license are political questions and we have no right to ally ourselves to either side. Let us talk it down, but don't let us take either side. The Bev. Joseph IT. Wrightof Kansas agreed wiflTDr. Sample. Br a vole of210 to 105 the substitute was laid on the fable. The question then came on the adoption of the original resolutions. Dr. Duffield, of Princeton, OFFEBED TO A1TEND by- substituting Dr. Sample's resolution1 with the word "constitutional" stricken out. This amendment was tabled by a vote of 166 to 146. The original resolution, which reads as follows, wa3 adopted: "Resolved, That we heartily reiterate the deliverance of former assemblies upon this whole subject and express our warm sympathy in progress in favor of the' complete suppres sion of the traffic in intoxicating liquors as beverages, and we bid all wise and proper methods to secure this issue, a hearty God speed. It was resolved that a committee of five be appointed to confer with a committee from the Congregational Church on Jhe temperance question. " At the evening session the report of the Committee on Church Politic- was contin ued. A communication from the Synod of New Jersey asking when a church was reg ularly organized, was decided by the As sembly to be when an elder was elected. Another important part of the report was the admission of a new Synod. It will be known as New Mexico, and will comprise besides the Presbyteries of Arizona. As soon as this was concluded Dr. Thomp son arose and said that in view of the fact that many had not understood the import of tbe resolution adopted on tbe temperance question at the afternoon session, he would move the adoption of the following resolu tion in explanation: FATOEETG PEOHIBITORT LAWT. Resolved, That the General Assembly in re affirming the deliveranco of former assemblies calls attention to the deliverance of 1SS3, which says: That we earnestly recommend to the ministers and congregations in our connection and to all others to persevere in vigorous efforts until laws shall be enacted in every State and Territory of our beloved country, prohibiting entirely a traffic which is the principal cause of drunkenness and consequent pauperism, crime, taxation, lamentation, war and ruin to the bodies and souls of men with which this country has so long been afflicted. Dr. Crosby and several others bitterly op posed the adoption of the resolution, claim ing that it was an approval of the action of a political party. Said Dr. Crosby: I most strenuously object The word prohi bition in 1SS3 meant an entirely different thing than It does now. To-day it means the third party. iCrles of MNo.""No." If we pass this resolution the organs of this third party will boast to mor row thatthePresbyterian ministers have joined their ranks. Tho third party has been the greatest hindrance to tbe cause. I have been 20 times to Albany to advocate measures that would have reduced the saloons, and found there not only the saloons to oppose me but the representatives of the third party. Dr. Thompson spoke at some length in favor of his motion. Dr. Hubbard said prohibition was the only thing, and that high license was but a step to prohibition. Dr. Cook and Dr. Fox also favored the mo tion. GEXEBAL 7AXDEMOXIUM BEIGXED after the subject got well entered into. Almost every delegate wanted to say some thing, but many aspiring orators were cut short by the annonncement that the time for adjourning had arrived. Twice was the time extended, but at the end the mat ter was still as mixed as before. Finally tho motion was put, and each side in voting used its lung power to such good effect that tha moderator was unable to decide which had won the fight. The voters were asked to stand and it was counted 193 yeas, and 80 nays. "The motion is carried," announced the Moderator, and Dr. Crosby got up from his seat and left the church. The assembly has determined to adjourn .to-morrow if it has to sit until midnight. The bills of the Commissioners at the sev eralbig hotels until to-morrow night are paid by the New York City Presbyterians. Norton Secures a Divorce- St. Louis, May 27. John W.
