Cronin in Chicago will nave a nuriiui effect upon the Irish cause. It was stated in the special cable dispatches today that the Cronin murder had reacted upon the league in British public opinion. And in New York there is a feeling among men active in the advocacv of tne Irish cause that it will even have an injurious effect upon the aspirations for office of leading Irish Kepublieans in this country. Ihe Irish defection at the last Presidential election, it is believed, cost Cleveland many thousands of votes in this State. The Cronin conspiracy has brouzht the Irish cause into unpleasant notoriety, and it has been denounced by law abiding citizens of every nationality and creed.

With reference to this country the Irish Republicans who are aspirants for political position are in bad shape, and their chances for success do not seem good. Gen. James K. O'Brien is a candidate for United States Marshal against another brave Gen. Dennis is seeking a Deputy Collectorship of Customs.

O. Graves, the Democratic chief of the bureau, deposited his resignation some weeks ago with the Secretary of the Treasury, to taue effect on the appointment of his successor. But it is understood that the President desired Mr. Graves to serve until the end of the fiscal year, when a Republican would be named to take his place. There are no prominent candidates in the field now for the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, with the exception of Capt.

Meredith. All others who were actively engaged in pushing themselves for that place havft quietly given up the chase and disappeared from the field. The President all this time, it is said, has kept a vigilant eye open in the direction of Chicago, as it is now, the common belief that he will draw Mr. Graves' successor from that city. Capt.

Meredith will probably be appointed some time this week, his commission to date probably from the 1st of July. Tne Chicagoaa has many friends in this city who will rejoice with him should he receive the appointment that is doubtless awaiting bim. State Senator Dan Hogan says that all the protesting which is being done against him for Internal Revenue Collector of the Southern Illinois District amounts to little or nothing. He says that it is being done in one small county in a district of forty or more, and that two or three persons are responsible for the entire fight.

But what is the sworn while tho question of hi3 present age was drawn out. "Mother," he said, "claims that I am 23 years old, but I surely must be 30." He repeated his statement about the driving of the rig that contained the trunk. When they put the trunk in the wagon," he said, "Melville, McDougall, and I drove away. I drove north a block, then turned to tne right; drove another block, turned to the left, ana drove on till I struck, 1 think, Clark street. It was near the park.

We drove into the park south ol Diversey avenue and stopped a minute two on the Lake-Shore drive." The reporter couldn't exactly see how by driving north one block, thence east one block, thence north again Lincoln Park had ever been struck south of Diversey avenue. Such driving would take one away from the park. Woodruff's attention was called to this inconsistency. "Well, anyhow we drove through the park," he said. Jtle was again tripped up on a statement that he had gone up one night about April 20 to the rooms at No.

117 Clark street. The rooms had been vacated nearly a month. Well, anyhow there was a little furniture up there," he said, and McDougall took me up. We talked together all night." Did you know Cronin I did by reputation. I had heard of Mm frequently.

I heard Coughlin speak of him." Did you know that it was his body in the trunk!" No, I didn't." 41 Melville or Williams didn't confide in you what you were going to do, did they Nc." Well, then, how do you know that you have handled Dr. Cronin's bodj "1 saw it when they took him out of the trunk and dumped him in the sewer." Woodruff said he stood at ihe horse's head while the other two men did this. It was quite aark, he added. According to this he was at least, ten feet away. "And you could tell that it was Dr.

Cronin's body they pulled outS" Yes," he said, uuabashed. For the first time he claimed yesterday to have met Alex. Sullivan at Niagara at the time of the Fenian lie said he knew Alex. Sullivan "well, both by sight and reputation. Did you talk with him while he was in JaiW" I did." Wiiatdid he say "Ho said it was all right and not to worry." This statement was subsequently proven to be a deliberate lie on his Dart by Deputy Sheriff Hogan and Floorwalker Olsen.

Olsen, who has watch of the corridor in which both Woodruffs and Alex. Sullivan's cells are located, denied positively that either of the two men had spoken to the other. "Well, what of it!" remarked the modern Ananias when confronted with the proof of this falsehood. MOUK "CONFESSIONS." Woodruff added many new details to his latest "confession." For instance, he said that F. O'Sullivan was left behind with a woman whom he called Mary," to paint the floor over and thereby destroy traces of tho crime.

The paint, he added, was bought two or three days before the murder by P. O'Sullivan himself from a Lincoln avenue store. Who hired you to haul the trunk!" Dan Coughlin." And who called for the doctor that night?" It was Melville." At another time he stated that he had seen Dr. Cronin that night I was with him and P. O'Sullivaa for an hour at least," he said.

"But you say this morning that you played cards all evening with Howard at Dean's sta'ole." O. did 1 That was all he would say. Attention was called to the statements which he had first made when arrested, and the wido discrepancies were noted for instance, the woman theory, the dumping of the body in Lincoln Park, his solitary trip to the Evanston avenue ana Sulzer road, etc. "I lied then," he said. "Why did you!" To shield tham.

When 1 left Melville and MeDougall that night they told me that if 1 was arrested I'd better say I had hauled a stiff for some medical student." Is it possible that it was part of the conspiracy to have Woodruff purposely arrested and have him manufacture all these fairy tales to bemuddie the police and the detectives! Did those men or Woodruff himself actually contemplate arrest, and was the Dean horse-stealing simply a sharp devised scheme to detract attention from tho real criminals by concentrating it on an individual whose statements are totally unworthy of credence I The night I was arrested Mike Whelan and Coughlin came up to me. 4 Am I the man wno got you to hire this horse said Whelan. said. 4 Or I' asked Coughlin.
