This morning Dr. IL H.

AH went well, however, until it came Will McAllitder's time I to deliver hie oration. Of course, he was ab aent but the studenta in the gallerv and auditorium aet up a yell of "McAllister!" A scene of the greatest confusion followed. Dr.

George sprang to his and demanded order, but his voice was drowned in the calls for McAllister, cat calls and hisses. "Clear the gallery," cried Ir. (j.eorge to the Janitor. "bend him up here and we will throw him over tne gaiieryr yeiiea me sinaenis. "Hend lor the polire." said Dr.

The Treaty "With Rniwia and the Boundary Questions That Hare Been Raised The Jnriadlctlon of Federal Conrta. Nrw Yox, Mat St. Tha Herald's Washing ington special says: The question of the Jurisdiction of the United States over Alaskan waters, relating particularly to the killing of seal, has be a matter of great concern to the Treasury Department. As early as 1881, it was reported the department that nnautcoriied persons were killing seal ia AJaakan waters, and the Secretary of the Treasury caused a notice to be published In the newspapers printed at all lbs Pacific ports tn this country, stating that the law prohibiting seal killing would be enforced against all comers and the penalties inflicted. A similar notice has been printed every year, and Congress appropriated money for the protection of seal life in Alaska, and the Government dispatched vessels there with instructions to seize and condemn all vessels engaged in this illegal business.

The first question as to the extent of the Ju risdiction claimed by the United States over Behring Sea was rained in 1W1, and. un der date of April 4, 181, the Secretary or the Treasury replied that the law prohibited the killing of any fur bearing ani mal within the limits of Alaska Territory or the waters thereof, and also on the islands of St. Paul and St. George or in the waters adjacent thereto. The treaty with Russia of March SO, 167, clearly dennra tne boundary of the territory so ceded.

The limit of cession, as before mentioned, extend from a line starting from the Arctic and Tunning through Behring Straits to the north of St'. Lawrence Islands. The line runs thence in a eonth westerly direction so as to pas midway het ween the Island of Alton and Copper Island, of the Kornmandorski couplet fir group in the North Pacific Oceau, to meridian of 193 west longitude. All the waters within that boundary to the western end of the Alutian Archipelago and chain of islands are considered as comprised within the waters of Alaska Territory. This ddeision is printed' in the Pacific Coast papers every year.

The decision was repeated by the Treasury Department by the fate Daniel Manning on March 18. 18M4. The Canadian authorities, in their brief relating to the seizure of Canadian vessels ia Bchnng Sea by our revenue cutters, claimed that Secretary Boutwell had decided that the United States" had no Jurisdiction over Behring Sea outside of the three mile limit. Mr. Bout well denies this, and in a letter written a few weeks ago, said "Neither upon my recollec tion of facts as they were understood by me in 1873, nor upon the present reading of the correspondence, do I admit the claim of Great Britain Is an admission of any right adverse to the claims of the United States in the waters known as Behrlug Sea." I.tvst year the question as to the right of the United States to exclusive dominion and jurisdiction over Behring Sea oamo before the United States District Court in Alaska, in cases of the United States vs.

the British schooners Dolphin, Anna Back and Grace, charged with violating the law prohibiting the killing of fur seals in Alaskan waters. This demurrer, setting forth no was overruled, and a iudgment of forfeiture to the United States was entered against caclgjuf the vessels separately, with their tackle, psrel. furnitnre, curgoes, etc. No appeal wsj taken from thia decssfou, and the exclusive jurisdiction over these waters was asserted, so Congressman Dunn; Chairman of the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, held, and was exercised by the legislative and executive branohee of the Government. But that statement is controverted for other reasons.

That court wsivini the international question and planting itself upon the fce of the treat ol cession ana tne acts oi uongress, entered judgment of condemnation against the libeled vessels and oargos. and preparations were made to sell the condemned property. Three, of the condemned vessels belonged to British owners, who nppealed to their 'Government and obtained its intervention. At this stage of the case the awkward discovery was made that the act of Congress organizing a judicial system for Alaska had omitted to provide for appeal from the District Court in civil causes, and the judgment of that court, improvidenUy rendered in the belief that the Supreme Court at Wain intrton would correct anv error made by the lower court in respect of the construction of tne statute under wntcn tae oonaennation was decreed, were found to bo finalities. In this dilemma the President, bv an exer cise of constitutional powers, released the vessels and tbeir cargoes without reason or oondition.

and so gained time for an attempt to nerotiate for an international closure of BehriaH in behalf of the preservation of the seals, but refused to relexrc the American vessels and car goes, likewise condemned, i under the belief fhnt the Snvremc Court would pass upon the legality of the At the Mate Iiepanmenl. Washington, May 31. State Department Officials absolutely decline to discuss the Samoan conference or the Behring Sea tangle. Of the former they admit that matters are in such shape as to warrant the expectation of a.speedy conclusion of the conference, the comparatively unimportant details onlf rcmainirlg to be adjusted. But upon the provisions ot the treaty, if a treaty has yet been drawn, they refuse to talk, further than to say that the public must receive its information respecting treatigjin the usual course, namely, attr action them by the United Uuu Senate, to which body all treaties miut be submitted fur approval before they become operative.

The obvious reason for this course lies in the Tact that important amendments arc often made by the Seuate after treaties have been arranged, by the diplomatic otticers of the treaty powers, so radical are these changes, in tact, that they have caused the failure ot pending treaties, a notable instance occurring in the last Congress. So far as can be learned, there is no new phase in the Behring Sea matter. The President's proclamation apiears to have closed the history or the rase and it can not be learned that there has been any correspondence between the Governments of the JCCU Drove' of Dudes in Trouble. There was a crowd of excited dudes at the Station House about o'clock last night and the amount of tearful entreaty theyrin dulgcd in would hive moved a heart of stone. The party numbered seven and they had "just taken a drink or two bajove." The" "gang" had gleefully torn a window shutter otf Wil liam Wallace's residence and hauled down a waterspout.

Mr. Wallace followed and saw them go into Blanche browning's and then he culled on the police. A squad of patrolmen headed by Sergeant Wheatley and II use her marched the crowd to Police Head quarters and then the fun commenced. "Now Will ain't you and I good friends aaked one "Sav Will don't do this. Wc are all rl ht.

Notwithstanding the weather, body ef highly respectable gentlemen assembled at the delectable resort known as Brighton Beach at 9 o'clock this morning. A bustling litte steam tug, which once bore the euphonious name of "Cleopatra," puffed about the canal, doing duty as a ferry boat and pleasure yacht combined. But this name, as the engineer expressed it, "was a little too much tor', us. and now we call er the "lit neral Morns. A barge was firmly moored across the cur rent, and from its mid stream end the American flag fluttered jauntily in the congciiug nreeze.

i ne occasion was ine second annual tlv casting tournament of the lndianapoiia Flaherman's Club. The bad weather was. of course, expected. It always is by trie born Bsncrman. Tbe weather which attended the tournament last year wm considered very bad, but there was no division of opinion to day that a much worse article of elemental strife was vouchsafed on this occasion.

A hundred persons hnddled about the muddy canal bank and exchanged reminiscences. A distinctive feature of tnese exchanges was that each party to them tried to give more than he received, out of the generosity of his heart and imagination A scries of more or less surreptitious trij to the club house occupied the time of certain famous anglers unTil the casting began. They were cartful to remark before entering each time that they were going in to warm. It was after 10 o'clock When the tournament began. A small man in a sombrero and immense brown rubber coat settled down on a bench as chief judge and with him were Captain DeWitt Wallace, of Lafayette, and Dr.

L. V. Waterman. The small man was discovered to be Chief Justice Byron K. Elliott, of the Supreme Court, the biggest man present after all.

Uy a coincidence in which all recognized the beneficent baud of destinv. just eleven permits entered the list for1 the eleven prizes wmcn were oneroa. luc lnarvufe uals who thus determined to risk their reputations In the desperate effort to capture a prise were Alex. Jameson, C. A.

Hanford, G. P. Mc Ddngall and George Powell. The rules required tbe anglers to use a nix foot got leader, with two flies, four feet apart. Each contestant held undisputed possession of the barge during the ten minutes allowed him.

He put in this time whipping ths water and trying to get the fly on the end of his line as far away from him as possible. A gusty, shifting wind blew directly across the direction in which tbe linen were cast, and interfered disastrously with tbe sport. At intervals a dash of the nastiest kind of rain, cut bias, ewopt over the shivering crowd. At last everything was ready, and Ray.W illianis, who officiated as time Lteoer, gave the word. swish! Alex.

Jameson, the "daddv" of fly fishing in Indianapolis, brandished a slender pole, ll1. teet long, and shot A thrend like line whUUing through the air. It straightened out and settled down delicately and accurately beside the gnage. "Forty rive feet!" exclaimed the crowd in unison. The next cast was fifty feet, and as the line cut the air again and again the attention and interest increased.

When the ten. minutes had expired Mr. Juiueion's best Cast was fifty nine feet. C. A.

Millard came next, with a pole feet lone. The wind.was very bad and he fouled hi line and got tan led up in it several times. His best cast was tty four feet. A. B.

Prather, with a 101 foot poie. weighing only 7V2 ounces, was third. The i pole was too limber. Forty one feet. 1 Ignatius Brown did graceful, accurate wcrk and succeeded in pvrsneding his fly to alight gently upon the water at a distance of fmy six teet.

H. B. DilJine borrowed Millard's pole and tried it just for fun. He reached out just like an old tiiner." "Fifty seven called out Judge Elliott. "Just put that) down," shouted Dildnie.

"Are you done?" "No; but you're safe in rutting that down." on. No alhing back at the umpire." resoided the Judge. M. D. Butler took off coat and vest and swung a pole II1, feet long.

He created a profound sensation at the Hurt by dropping Ilia fly sixty feet away. His entire ten minutes was full of line work and his best cast m.s feet. This was six inches better than the best of last year. As the "General Morris" bore the reporter swiftly away, he hod a furencll gliinpeof General McOinnis, snd haticKo, mounted upon a barge and rending the air into fragments with his long arms. The tug appiauued with a hrill shriek and sped on its way, causing boiling waves to dash against the banks.

A i i.tria.cli of the tribe of Ham stood at the water's edge gazing in open mouthed admiration at the bruve craft. Swash! A big ave rose up and clasped hi in icily atout the Wiu'. and as he scrambled up the muddy wall his look of admiration surrendered au expression of speechless disgust. The tournament continued during the greater part of tne day. INDIVIDUAL MENTION.

IT IS SWINDLING. I That's Wlint Some Ptople Think of the Ice orulmct. I Notwithstanding the weather, expressions of indignation over the exorbitant prices or ice art common. "It's robbery! It's simply swindling!" remarked a well known citizen in one of the State ollices as a News reporter entered this morning. "The increase in price is unwarranted and Is wholly The supply or ice is but it is simply because the dealers believe that7 they can rdrce ithe people to pay more that they have entered into this compact.

It's wrong, and I am glad to see that The News Is striking at it. The newspaper that does such things ties it teJf to the public. If some dealer, prepared to supply the public demand, will tome into the market and show that he is willihg to sell ice for a reasonable profit, be will find a fortsivc in it. I will pledge myself to buy ofrom him not only this year, but next und the' neit. and" as long as he docs an honest business.

IMPORTANT EVIDENCE IN' POSSF.S SIOX OF AX IXDIANAPOLH The Start lino; Dlocloanrea that Wotild Hnve Boon Made Public by CjronlB If He Had Not Been ordered Development at C'lilonjft. Notwithstanding the weather, the murder af Dr.

Cronin at Chicago has created a sensation all over the world. Indianapolis It Is beirrj discussed by Irishmen very generally, and after The News is read it will be a universal topic here. 1 There is a camp or the Clan na Gael here, numbering about 400 members. It is likely that the cam will have a meeting this evening, and if so. some action on the Chicago mystery will be taken.

The CVan na Oacl la an organization composed of the friends of the Irish cause. They labor for the freedom of Ireland by any, kind of means, and just now the organization is accused of being indirectly the cause of Cronin 's death. A prominent citizen of Indianapolis, who is a high officer in the Clan na Gael. and who is an Irish patriot, talked ith a News reporter this morning concerning Dr. Cronin 'a death, and furnished information that has not been made public.

i "The Clan na Gael." said he, "as an organization is not responsible for the death of Dr. Cronin, but time will develop that some members of the organization are. Dr. Cronin was an enthusiastic member of the different Irish societies and loved Ireland and her cause. He saw that certain parties were nslng the cause and the organization for their own ad vancement and benefit, and was not loth to express nis, views ana opinions, me twsuit, was that the Clan na Gael the better element leaving it Dr.

Cronin and others charged that the funds of the organization had been appropriated by certain men known as "The Triangle," one of whom is Alexander Sullivan. The charge is made that the defalcation is It is a great deal more than that. One count amounts to another count about tioo.ooo. Pr. Cronin msde these charges and the committee on investigation by a vote of four to two, acquitted the men, bul Cronin was not satisfied' lie knew he was right and continued to procure evidence.

"Since 1KM there has been A conspiracy between some men in Chicago who hnve been mentioned and others who are not known to the public yet. Thev were for themselves only and were a drawback to the organization, pr. Cronin was in their way and they knew he meant them no good. Cronin continued his investigations and had prepared a number of charges thathe would place before the next National Convention. He would that the rank and file had been keut in ignorance of what was going on.

everything heing flone by "The Triangle." Calls had been isued for money and the monev hod been paid in. Twenty three men had been aent to England to use physical force. Each of these men used an asmimed, name, were given a certain address to call at, in London. While thev were on the sea their names, dlscription, and the London address of each waa furnished the Scotland Yard Detectives and twenty of the men were arrested the moment they stepped on British soil. Dynamite was found in their possession, and they arc cither dead or serving long terms ot imprisonment.

Three men, however, who were sent to England did not land at the point intended. They did not use the names given them, neither did they call at the London address. These men threw all the dynamite that was used end made their escape, and are now safe in this country. they arc makes dilfcr encc. When the members of the organization heard of the arrest of the twenty men they asked how they happened to he in T.ngland, who sent them there.

Then it was that 'The Triangle' told that they were responsible for sending the arrestid i men to Kngland. Among the men was Dr. Gallagher, who is in prison for life One of 'The whose name is being freely used in this connection, says in a report that he gave Gallagher 176,000 and Bli.rk Jack Daily was accredited with Dr. Cronin sent a man to England, aud this man in various disguises got into the British rrisons and talked with the Irish patriots, le reported to Cronin that Gallagher. instead of 76.ooo was paid $5,000, and Daily bait reef i ed but 11.800 or the charged to him.

These racts wei rpart of Cronin's charges and he intended to boldly charge that the patriots had been bet fey ed the verv men who sent them over 3fo England. Cronin claimed to have Indisputable proof of every charge he was to make, and an attempt was made to bribe him." 4 "Bv whom was this attempt madet" "That I don't care to sav at present. But I received my information from Cronin himself. He told me thatihe had been approached by a' man who offered him a large sum of money if he would whitewash one or 'The Triangle' and impeach the other two. This he refused to do, ana the efforts to buy him gave way to threats, but he laughed them away.

"All this time Cronin was a member of Camp 96, or, as it was known, the Turner Hall gang. He siaid in the Camp because he knew something as wrong, and he proposed to keep a watch on tbe crowd. At last came 'the cablegram stating that Le Caron, the spy, hail said that there were three informers in America, and that dispatch was changed so that it read that Dr. Cronin was one of the three. This dispatch waa printed in pamphlets fnisaT and distributer! not to the rnrml th.

organization generally, but to the mem bertf or Camp 88. Cronin wasS tried as a British spy without being present or receiving any notice. Neither did the chieT officers of the t'lan ha Gael knowof hfa trial. Whatw Mdecided upon at that trial no one xnowg except tee rew mat were present. ''How did Detective C'ougblin, who is charged with Cronin's murder figure in this trial?" He was i a me'm ber of Cam 98, the cam that tried Cronin as a spy, and he waa a tool of some of the Chicago gang.

They put him on the notice force, and tney had him appointed detective. It will be shown that they used him more than once. I am satisfied thafif Coughlin did have a hand in Cronin's murder that he was a mere tool, er perhaps because it had been impressed on his mind that Cronin was a British spy, liable to betrny them all." "From the information you posses, what is your theory of the murder?" "Theories count for little. Cronin was not killed as a British spy. He is the victim of a conspiracy, and we have evidence enough now to send one man to the penitentiary.

We want to put a rope around his neck. Cronin's friends will spend to unravel this mystery. We have promise of assistance from the Illinois State authorities, Philadelphia has raised CA.OOOand by to morrow evening New York will contribute there are a great many reports and rumors that are not true, but what I have told you I believe to be facts." An Irishman of local prominence with whom a News reporter talked this morning, said that it was plainly evident that the crime was committed by Irishmen, and there was no doubt that Cronin was murdered solely be a use he knew' something it was feared he would, to the great detriment of others, make public. Still, the matter was one that Irishmen felt reluctant to talk about. Luke Dillon bad taud the truth when he had said that no Irish organization had ordered the murder, bnt still it was evident that many people, were implicated in tbe conspiracy.

Wherever men were needed they were ready to obey instructions. Detectives, newspaper reporters, lawyers and men or the highest prominence were, in different ways, drawn into the conspiracy, There is a prevalent feeling that it is not safe to talk, because no man knowa who err in what part of the country are those in sympathy with the men implicated in the conspiracy. "Have the Indianapolis Irishmen had knowledge of the troubles which seem to have led to Dr. Cronin's murder?" was asked. "Yes, we have known of the whole thing for three years, and it has often been talked about.

"What waa the feeling toward Cronin and Alexander Sullivan in this city?" "It was friendly. I bsiiwe. to both of them. 4 The only prejudice against either of them krose from pontics. Lromn waa a very active Reoublican.

and there was some bitterneaa toward him on account of hia politico, bnt at tne same time mai ne waa eat aeiivertng Republican speeches. Alexander Sullivan waa stumping tbe country for Blaine. Sullivan is a man of great force. He was the superior of Cronin. If" be planned the crime, as seem to believe, you may rest assured that it Was mighty well done.

He is the most powerful man in the country, without any exception. Notwithstanding all the opposition to him and tbe combinations against him, he haa been triumphant at every convention, and all because he bad the brains to enable bim to surmount every obstacle. He wa for several years a newspaper reporter in cairo, and it ia not generally know that hu wile is Margaret Sullivan whoae letters regarding the Pans Exposition are now attracting so much attention. He has visited Indianapolis several times. He started the Irish National Organization ia thia citv, and ws here last, I believe, with Parnell and Dillon." Air A ntl Croniir Irishman.

Notwithstanding tbe weather. Deputy Connty Clerk Reardon was asked by a New reporter this morning if he knew Dr. Cronin. "Yes. When Cronin waa here fire years ago icn cronin was nere nre years ago he waa claimed to be an aggieaslve physical force man.

This was about the timcof the dynamite explosions in England, and Cronin told me ha thought he would be sent on a miaaiea to Ireland. He did not sta te hat the object of ia mission was to be, buf J.juiyjxiaed that he wanted to impress me with theconfldence in which he was held by the leaders of the Irish movement in this country. He claimed that possibly If he went to England he would be arrested, and ia anticipation of that he had taken out his naturalization papers and become a citizen of the I'nited StAtea. At that time he spoke as if there was no one In the country like Alexander Sullu van, in whom he expressed the reat? est He believed that Sullivan was and should be the leader of the Irish pec rle in America. I met Cronin a year later in hicago.

when I called on him at his office. Ia the meantime, all the leading Irishmen of hies go. who had supported Blaine for President, had a falling out and were mixed up in a i wrangle, one faction being headed "bySullivan and the other by Cronin. I Inferred from my conversation with Cronin that this trouble was caused by local politics. I Biwava had a strong regard for Sullivan, and Cronin's talk and actions were such as led me to believe that he wei a patriot for revenue only.

Cronin at thia time that money had been misapplied, and accused Sullivan andlhers with taking it and a as very severe In his de nuncistion of them, bnt I 'believed that he was not severe against IBullivaa arranging Mansar Hall for tbe dedicating ex member of Clan na Oael, end en tees of the Tin Horn Clnb next week. because he had misapplied the funds, but be cause of some peraonal matter between them. I met him again in Chicago in IK at the National Convention of the Irish I had verv little confidence In him and had but Ht tel to sav to him." "What is your theory of his murder" "I think that, a 'man who haa 'aired himself, as Cronin Jias done, and vilified hia countrymen proniiacuoualy hnd abused the best aiid truest friends that Ireland u. haa in thia countrv; ia joist such a man as might make a deadly enemy who would not auomit to his vilification and who took that mode or putting him out of the The Idea that any organization plannedjthe murder and carried It out ia pits court. It could not be done.

Cronin was killed bv some personal enemy. Another thing; I know to my personal knowledge that Alexander Sullik an hasvnot been a member of the Clan na Gael for about four or five years. The CJan na tiatl la not composea oi bbss sins, but or some: of the best lrisnmen in mia country." Still Pnrrled Chicago, i i it; hicaoo, aiay si. 1 nerc were no iaii ursr developments in the Cronin case yesterday. Being a public holiday, there was nq session of the Grand Jury', and the office of the State's attorney were closed.

The dragging of the lake by the police, in the hope that tbe clothing ot the victim might be brought to light, was resumed, but the gale Boon com pel led them to' suspend operations. A thorough search of the residence of Sullivan the Ice man, at LakevieW, wu also made by the police of that suburb, thia afternoon, but nothing of an Incriminating character was found. It is rumored, however, that the Jfo lice, in their further search of the cottage in which Dr. Cronin was murdered, found a pick and other ice tools, presumed to have been the property of P. O.

Sullivan, the Ice dealer. The authorities are reticent as to the result of investigations, and refuse to affirm or deny this rumor. The theory is advanced that it was with blows Irom these instruments thati Dr. Cronin was ao foully murdered, but when it is remembered that the notable discovery of the post mortem examination waa that theakull was in no place, fractured, this conjecture does not appear reasonable. The tools dlscrrvered "are understood to have been hidden partly under ground and in a rubbish heap In aa out room shed adjoining the.

cottage. The greatest importance is attached to this report, a it is construed into crowning evidence of Ire dealer Sullivan's complicity in the murder. The rumor circulated that tbe police had succeeded in finding the clothes ofllr. eToniu, appcur to have been not without authenticity. Little credence was first given to this report, which, like, so many other rni.iors, pea rid to be without definite origin, but Lieu BUI that Dr.

Coilin's clothes were really found and recognized as tbe property of the mur dcred man. The inference is drawn that they were found in or around Sullivan's house, aa a aquad of detectives are known to have devoted nearlv all dav inisenrrrring the premises of tbe ice dealer. 1 he officer iu charge of thia search, in response to casual inquiries, stated at the time that no di.ieovery had been made. but Chief Hubbard, when confronted with the report, refused to either affirm or deny the statement that the murderad. man' apparel had heen found.
