Chinatown was alive last evening. All of ths old fau tnn dens on Kaoe street wore in operation, and two additional games were going on in new resorts. At OlSon the second floor front a game ot fan tan was in operation, presided over by Lee Tsew, aud there were full a dozen of the regular habitues engaged in dropping buttons on the corners. At 918 In tbe basement dlco throwing for a nickel was the game, and Lee Fook and Wong Pock, the husband of Hannah Mclntyre, reaped the profits therefrom. On the second floor of 918 Lee Fook Was running the regulation fan tan game.

His table was surrounded by a half dozen players of the higher olass, as dollars and not dimes was tbe limit Of the betting, At 920, on the second floor, tee Show was running, fan tan, but on a smaller limit, and as a consequence he had a larger crowd than the other den keepers, there being fully twenty Chinamen engaged lu risking their dimes on the "turn up of tho number." No. 832 Haco street was well lighted up, but the guard on duty refused to allow entrance. At 915 Ah Lee has Just opened a new game on tbe third floor. He signalized the opening by giving a lunch to his callers, and tbe result was a grand first night sucoess. Games wore also going on at 926 and 936 Race street, and tbe most casual observer could plainly see from the sidewalk the operation of the opium joint in the basement of win, The police officers on Race street paraded up and down past the different resorts as though their duty was to see that the Chinamen were not disturbed in the pursuance of their Sunday night recreations.

i Answers to the charges made by DR. PETER M'CAHEY. STRONG INDIGNATION EXPRESSED Trouble Feared From the Summary Suspension of Hundreds of Members of the Irish Nationalists. John J. Bradley, of No.

1281 Christian streot, whose name was mentioned In Dr. MoCahey's statement published yesterday, said last night "I have read the Interview published In The Timrs and must say that It reads like the production of one whose mental equilibrium is decidedly unbalanced. It, to my mind. Is the effort of a monomaniac. Take a few Instances.

It. Is said: 'Not only In the suspended camps, but In a general wny through the publio press. Bradley could In five minutes have put an end to these insinuations Does Dr. McCahcy mean to impress the publio with the Idea that my powerin the organization Is suoh that I oould accomplish this In live minutes? He, with his powers, of leadership and suspension, one would think, would be the only and proper person to put an end to His modesty In declining leadership in my favor is oertalnly wonderful. "It was said I received a telegram from Luke Dillon, 'to come to Chicago for the purpose of uniting with bim in a resolution condemning the murder of Dr.

Cronin, disavowing any sympathy with the crime or attempt to shield Its It is further said that I did not answer the message. THE DILLON DISPATCH. "This statement, put as It was, Is absolutely and unqualifiedly false. On the 19th or the month I did receive a telegram from Chicago, signed by Dillon, and here it is: Chicaoo. June 19, 1889.

"J.J. Bbadi.ky, 1221 Christian street. "Come to Chicago McCoy's Hotel at once. The necessity Imperative. Condon, Tlerney here.

Telegraphed Fall lltver lor Leonard, also tor Honnyne. Luke Dillon. On the outside of the envelope, written In lead pencil, wore the words: 'Get I told tho messenger boy, 'There Is no Is there anything In that, dispatch about "resolutlonscondemntngtbe murder' or 'disavowing any sympathy Mr. Dillon had as much right to send you or your city editor such an Imperious message as he had to send It to me. Of course as a citizen, as a father, as a "man, I never had, nor could I have, hesitation In condemning the murder of any man.

To make the negative proposition contained In that interview is simply damnable. THE SUSPENDED CAMPS. "But I had not intended to talk for the newspapers. I simply want to reiterate what I said to a reporter when the matter was first published. I am not now, nor have I ever been a member of the Clan na Gael.

I am an Irish Nationalist. The suspension of eight camps by official orders will hold good only if Indorsed by the other officials, who will have some say. It seems strange that these accusations which practically amount to charging the Individual members of the suspended camps with com plicityln a capital crime should be spread broadcast without evidence sufficient to bus' tain such grave charges. GKOSS NEGLIGENCE. Twenty members of the Irish Nationalists In this city were aware for months of this mspiracy to murder Dr.

uronin, ana several Vhem were Darticinants. direotlv or lndi recti in the different attempts to decoy me npra home on bogus calls during the pasrnve says the doctor In nts intervysw. If such was the case the gentleman vas grossly negligent In his duty as a citizen In not setting the machinery of the law In motion to arrest and punish these conspirators. This Is a country which Will stand no such nonsense, and no one knows it better than the man who makes these grave charges. Eighteen months ago he notified Messrs.

Dillon and Hyaii that a conspiracy was on foot to kill Dr. Cronin and himself. If he did not feel sufficiently sure of his ground to notify the police authorities then, why did he not at least give general warning throughout the organization that such a conspiracy was on loot? He certainly bad enough followers to frustrate any such purpose if It had lodgment anywhere else outside bis brain. REASONS FOR REFUSING) DILLON. "I did not go to Chicago, first, because I deny Mr.

Dillon's right to demand my presence, and, secondly, because it was, to my mind, simply a scheme to get myself and others In Chicago, have us subpoenaed as witnesses and then, through counsel, Mr. Dillon would put questions the answers to which he and others had failed to get In any other way. 1 did not propose to be made a tool of by him, nor neither did I care about telling the workings of an organization of which I was a member. "There Is no roan with sense who would say that out of eight camps, comprising perhaps a membership of from eight to sixteen hundred, twenty men could be picked out who would enter Into a murder conspiracy. NOT A BAND OF THUGS.

"Theorganlzatlon lsnotaband of thugs and murderers, as be would have the people believe, but a law abiding body of citizens, who deplore the murder and pray that the murderers may be convicted and hanged. "I regret exceedingly that so much has already been printed concerning the Irish Nationalists, and I regret still more to see men with Irish blood In their veins seeking notoriety through the public press and airing suspicions clothed In language which conveys the impression that facts are being given. "There is not a member of any of the camps who Will not agroe with me In deploring this whole affair. The authorities of Illinois, I take it, are amply able to solve this terrible mystery, and I have no doubt tbev cijin and will punish it as it doserves. But It lis unfair, unjust and Infamous to attempt to throw suspicion on any man or set of men guiltless of any knowledge of or complicity In assassination, by imiendoes orinslnuations In the publio press.

TbCcfforts are as desplo aoie as me inventor. FLAT DENIALS. I only want to add that the dispatch I received from Dillon stated that Tlerney was In Chicago. I know that Mr. Tlerney was In Brooklyn when that dispatch was sont.

The interview also says another thing which I wanttocontradlct emphatically. Itlstbat 'the Senior Guardian of Camp TO led the attack In his own oamp and told that he himself believed that Dr. Cronin was a second LeCaron and that he believed so I say, without consultation with the man spoken of, that the statement Is infamously false. No such statement was ever made. The man spoken of Is a business man of unimpeachable Integrity, and I know be will as promptly deny it as I do.

"But what Is the use In particularizing denials) The whole thing Is so absurd that denial only serves to give it dignity," DB. M'OAHKT'g LAST CIRCULAR. The following is a copy of the circular which Dr. McCahey sent to each of the eight camps Of the Irish Nationalists on Friday Philadelphia, June 27, 1889. Deab Bias Your camp having disregarded the Instruction of the executive, urging ail brothers to use all possible efforts to bring the murderers of Dr.

Cronin to Justice, and also having failed or refused to pay the seventy five assessment ordered by the Board of Officers of this district for the pur pose of assisting In the discovery and punishment of these thugs and conspirators who murdered the brave patriot and physician. It Is my unpleasant duty to Inform you that your camp Is hereby suspended for Insubordination and eon duct prejudicial to therftood of the order and discreditable to the good name of the Irish race and In direct conflict with the duties of American citizenship. Yours truly, P. McOakkv. Dillon starts tor Home.

Harry Baker, who is a barber, and Well known In labor circles, addressed the meeting, He For many years the barbers have been trampled upon.

At the present time things are in such a state that a good barber cannot earn as much as hod oarrier. The barbers work more hours and receive less pay than the men who are engaged In any other trade. What we want is to abolish Sunday work, in crease our pay and reduce the hours of labor. The only way that these things can be accomplished is for all the barbers in the city to unite Into one body and demand their rights. Unless we succeed in getting the aid of all the barbers It will be impossible for us to accomplish our object.

We must abolish Sunday slavory." A petition was drafted requesting Mayor Fltlor to enforoo the law of 1TM, which forbids Sunday labor. It will be plaoed in the shop of John Eukos, 1725 Cherry street, and all the barbers who are not members of the association are requested to sign it.

They reached the drowning man In the nick of time, and together brought him swiftly to the beach, where Dr.

Hobart Hare, of tho University of Pennsylvania, worked with all bis skill lo bring back the life which was so nearly extinct. He was taken to the hotel in a carriage later on, and feebly requested that the brave life guardsmen who rescued him call in the evening for their reward.

TO PICK UP THE BOSTON IAN Kilrain in Excellent Condition, anil, Accompanied by His Friends, Will Leave for New Orleans To Morrow. Special Telegram to The Tikes.

Nbw York, June 80. The first of the excursions from this city to the great fight started from Weehawken tonight. All the afternoon tho back door of the saloon of Jimmy Wakoley, on Forty second street and Sixth avenue, was kept busy admitting sports of all calibre, who were gathering to bear the latest and learn the final hour of departure, They had their linen dusters and their gripsacks with tbem and tbe policemen good naturedly looked at them as they walked over the law Into tho resort. Jore Dunn, who has developed the Sullivan fever In most malignant form, was playfully stopped by an officer to whom he remarked that he had mistaken Wakeley's for tbe Grand Contral Depot, Jere was early on hand awaiting a man who had promised to be oboutand bet him tl.OOOeven that Kilrain would win. The man didn't come and perhaps It was as well, for nobody was present but the strongest of the Sullivan clan.

GATHERING Or BUXLIVANITIIlg. Jimmy Wakeley himself was In the centre of the room, the Hashing of his diamonds lighting up theapartment, the bllndsor which were drawn, out of courtesy to the excise law. Charlie Johnson was, or course, on hand, amusing himself by making out a diagram of the way in which the Kilrain party will return. Mike Gushing "Snapper" Garrison's protege; Jimmy Patterson, Bryan McSwyny.who made the shoes John L. will wear In the ring.

Matt Clltta, Eddio Donovan, Frank Reynolds, Syney Tracey, Mike Boyle and a host of those who would be sports were among he number who stayed through the livelong afternoon and waited for the hour of tbe departure of the train. Arthur Lumley and Billy Germalne, of the Illustrated were conspicuously present, the former, it was said, carrying with him a commission of $10,000 from a prominent horse owner, and one of the heaviest plung ersontheturf. Tbe name was not divulged, but It Is pretty generally guessed at, as there Is but one horse owner who would wager the amount. The party all told are In a position to put up $100,000 on the ring side, and Germalne says that that sum will have to be bet before they will be at a standstill. OFF FOR THB BATTLE GROUND.

There was no betting at the resort. The crowd was essentially an enthusiastic Sulli van one, and when the party of about seventy five wended their Way out to go to the depot, shortly after 7 o'clock, each of them wore tho colors of Sullivan about their hats and floated them from thelrcanes, which they carried over their shoulders. At the West Shore depot in Weehawken a great crowd had gathered, and gave theparty a grand send off. The "Sullivan train," as it was called, will take Sullivan and bis trainers on board at Rochester at four o'clock to morrow morning. Thence It will go through Buffalo and Cleveland to Cincinnati, where a four hours' stay will be made.

They will proceed direct to the Crescent City. Quarters have been secured for Sullivan Just outside the city limits. AT K1LR All's HEADQUARTERS. Jake Is Perfectly Trained nnd Beady to Fltclit at Any Time. Special Telegrajo to Thk Timbs.

Baltimore, June 30. Jake Kilrain rested quietly to day, with the exception of a ten ralle early walk. Mitchell returned from New York last night and Informed Kilrain of the place selected for the fight. The exact location IS ktflt a secret, but Mitchell and Kilrain both say that there will be no interference and that tbe ground chosen Is in every way thoroughly suitable for the purpose, Kilrain to day looked In perfect trim. Tbe pickling process his bands and face have boen subjected to has given his skin on those partsof his body a peculiak brownish color, not unlike tan, but which, InV man of Kllraln'scomplexlon, which is dark.

Is notdisplcaalng, but underneath hlsaothes the skin is as white as tho fairest womVn's, and the beautiful play of the muscles the pugilist is at work can plainly be seed His flesh Is hard and firm, tbe muscles flexibli and his stomach as flat as can be. When asked howhe felt tlie nuglllst smiled confidently and said: "I was never in better condition than I am now In tny life. My bands and face are as bard as nuls and I am as strong as I possibly could be. To day 1 weighed 190 pounds and I expect to fight at about las, but If I do not succeed In getting down to that I will be all right anyhow. A matter oi two or inree pounds aoove mat won't make an difference.

What will the re sult bef Well, of course, I can't answer that. Nobody knows, but both Chsrlie and I are confident of my ability to beat the big fellow. It will be a hard battle, but I am determined to win." Kilrain and his friends will leave Baltimore Tuesday for New Orleans, and on tbe trip tbe pugilist will continue his daily exercise In a oar especially fitted op for the purpose. Mitoneu win cook every dii or rood nis man eats, and a plentiful supply of water will be taken along In a lot of big demijohns. The water will be from tbe spring at which Kilrain has been drinking since be baa been training.

Tommy Williams, a wen Known local sport, who has been up to Belfast and seen Sulli van, still stakes his confidence and money on Kilrain. He says hehasseen both Sullivan and Kilrain fight and, while the former is the harder hitter, he tires perceptibly after four rounds, while Jake husbands his strength and strikes evenly with effect throughout. lie expects to see nuiuvan rusn at iviit ain like a null during the first few rounds and then when he Is winded thinks Jake will take his time to finish the big fellow. Kilraln's friends still think there will be considerable trouble In selecting a referee and that this Important personage will uot be chosen until ne day of the fight. Mitchell, In speaking of the outlook, regards tbe result as a foregone conclusion and refuses tn tuillnM that thnM ttfll hA an Into.

rerenee, either from the local authorities or from those who will be present at tbe ftirbt. Kilraln's friends are of the opinion that the reports about Sulli van superb condition are exaggerated, though they hope be will be In prime health, as the victory, should It come Kilraln's way, will be all the greater. The betting In this city is anything but but It is predloted that ft wm picg up uuring tne course oi tne next few days.

Duluth, June 80. Pat Killen gave an ex hibition last night to a packed house. Before the sparring commenced a mossage from the California Athletic Club, of Saa Francisco, was read, forbidding Killen to engage in any knock out contests. If he did they will consider his engagement to fight MoAuilffe as off. This becoming known a lot of fighters, Pat Sheehy, Conley and Paddy MoDonald among them, wanted to stand before Killen, This of course was Impossible, and for a time a goneral riot seemed Inevitable.

Manager Gooding then offered to put up 500 in the hands of anv responsible person that Killen could whip any of the gang when his Mc Auiure ngnt was over. Anomer account savs Sbeehy offered (DOO to stand up against Killen, but his offer was refused, to thedlsirugt of the crowd, who hissed bim roundly. A Sunday Raid on Gamblers.

AT WORK TWENTY FOUR HOURS Potting Men on the Rolls to Eat Up the Ap' propriation The Battles in the Wards for Supremacy. There was a shaklng up In the Navy Yard on Saturday night whlob aroused the indig nation of thirty seven active party workers and sent cold chills down the backs of the scores of precinct politicians who answer roll call dally and draw pay rea ularly.

The un skilled labosfers while awav their time In what Is officially termed the Department of Yards and Docks." Democrats who had been appointed under the last administration have been gradually disnensed with until compara tively few are left. The places thus made vacant served to appease In a degree the clamor made by those who had whooped her up for Harrison, Morton and Victory, and everything was apparently going along swimmingly. On Friday lost, when twenty seven additional Stalwarts answered "Here at roll call, much comment was made and gratifica tion expressed at the way In which the Grand Old Party" was taking care of the boys." The newcomers wore welcomed ana quickly Initiated into the mysteries of "real hard work." WORKERS' REWARDED; On Saturday morning ten additional work ers lustily answered "Here!" as they were formally reoognlzud as employes of the United States Government. Saturday was spent by the new employes in consultation and advice with tho old ones as to the out come of the fight between de Old Man and "de Senator" and as to the best method of making things solid for de people who put us here." At quitting time on Saturday announcement was made that eighty seven namos had been dropped from the roll. Among these were the twenty seven who started In on Friday and the ten who reported so joyfully lust eight hours before.

THE APPROPRIATION EXHAUSTED. "This is the last Working day of the fiscal year and tho appropriation is exhausted," was the answer given to the discharged mon as they crowded around Foreman Ford and asked In language far more expressive than polite the meaning of the summary bounce. To say that the thirty seven new men Were indignant hardly expresses It. Tho few Democrats among the numbor took the discharge smilingly, and on their way up the rood In dulged in much quiet fun at the expense of tbeir Republican friends. The discbarge covered not only the eighty seven "laborers," but also all the painters In tho department.

Not a single Democrat escaped. WHY IT WAS DONE. Whon questioned as to the reason for put ting mon to work and discharging them in a few hours, one of the men, who bad been in the yard for some time, said "Why, they never let any money merge. When it was seen on Wednesday that there would be a small balance loft of the appropriation to the Department of Yards and Docks, It was determined to uso it up by putting on extra men. You can see how near they came to using up tbeir al lowance when it only took two days and comparatively few men to wipe out the surplus.

The 'recommendations' were looked over and the men sent for and everyone of them thought that at last ho had been 'taken care But the fiscal year commences to morrow and, doubtless some of them will get back. All the Democrats have now been tired out of the Yards and Docks and but few are loft in any other depart ment. I suppose there will be a great rush for places down there as soon as the new ap propriation is available ana the amounts distributed through the departments." THE STATE CONVENTION FIOBTS. As the time draws hear for the election of delegates to the State convention the fights In those wards which have contests are beginning to grow interesting. It will be noticed that the fights are mainly in those wards where no individual supremacy exists; in other words, in wards which have no single boss or leader who can control the primaries and dictate the solection of del egates.

In the First ward the Slaok Flnlay contest promises to bo almost as eventful as the memorable Legislative contest of last fall. The adherents of Slock maintain that they will easily elect Penrose McClaln and George Vare as the delegates, while the Flnlay faotlon, assisted by the Harrison Club of the First word, claim that Lincoln Potts and James Sheehan will receive the credentials. It is charged by tho Slack people that the police of the ward are working with the other side, and complaints are being freely made against police Interference. PARK PIOHTINO NOIIRE. In the Second ward Joe Nobro has bis war paint on, and he declares, in spite of the rec ognition that Councilman James Park is receiving In securing appointments in the Appraiser's and other departments, that he will be able to go to the State Convention himself or send any one that he wants to have go.

Mr. Park, on the other band, says that Nobre's political days are numbered and that the new Dlsston Club of the Second ward will act as a factor against the Nobre influence. Either candidate elected will vote for Boyer for State Treasurer, and the only issue in the fight Is Park against Nobre. The most Interesting fight outside of the two down town wards is tho one now going on In the Twenty fourth ward, whero Councilman Hicks and Lafayette Horter are opposed by Representatives C. Wesley Thomas, who Is to be Collector Cooper's private secretary, and wuuam liuncn, jr.

The battle is just beginning to assume definite Bhape, as many, of the active spirits In the party organization are holding off to see first which side they will best serve their personal interests by tying to. KESHAMINY'S VISITORS. Four Thousand People Enjoy Them selves Despite the Rain. Nearly four thousand people went to Ne shaminy Falls yesterday imbued with the false hope that tbe clouded sky would clear after a shower and, contrary to tbeir ex pectatlons, were compelled to remain indoors for two hours.

The largest number of visitors left tbe Ninth and Green street station on tb'e 8 o'clock express. The rain began to como down In torrents a few minutes before the hour of starting and as the big crowd In the depot was debating the question whether to go or not to go, a train hand, enveloped in a rubber suit, stood in the pouring rain on the tracks on ninth street and yelled "This way for the Neshaml ny express." The crowd In tbe depot stood aghast as they realized that to get to the train they would be oorapollod to go through tbe pouring rain. No attempt was made to board the train for several minutes, when a pretty young woman attired In a white dress set the example, wh lch was immediately followed, by daintily gathering up nor skirts and running to tbe cars. When the train arrived at Neshaminy the rain was apparently over, but the walks were muddy and many light dresses and trousers were spoiled. A select musical programme had been prepared, with Winkler's Seventh Regiment Band, the Original Royal Spanish Students, Boutb American Jubilee Singers and Miss Alice Raymond, the cotnetlst.

The rain finally cleared away and the programme wag the performance receiving liberal applause from tbe damp but attentive audience. The ground at Neshaminy drys very quickly and tbe walks were comparatively dry an hour after the rain ceased to fall. During the latter part of the afternoon the park presented a lively appearance and the smooth oreek was dotted with row boats.

"If 1 had not rained I would have had fifteen thousand people here to day," said Proprietor Griffith, "but this is a good crowd considering the weather."

"The Kxposition ns a whole," he said to The Tiwnscorrespondeiit, "is, without doubt, grand, but It Is manifest that the purpose of the French Oovernmsnt has been to mako the Exposition one of the French nation and Its colonies.

Most of the prizes and diplomas are being awarded to France and its colonies, the purpose evidently being to create the impression that France is far and away ahead of other nations.

Tbe United States exhibit is ridiculous for a country her slae, standing and resources. The fault lies with the government's commissioners. Not one of them appeared at Pans for two woeks bororo the Exposition opened. Before that they had only two or throe clerks thero, and were hoodwinked and played right and left by the Frenchmen. The United States have no building there at all.

The Argentine Republic has a significant one, and many nations not a tenth part of tho importance of the Suites have fine buildings and creditable exhibits, "The United States exhibit is in the main building end occupies only about two thirds of the spaoo which llelc itim has. Our government appropriated a quarter million dollars for the exhibit I would not liketo charge that any of the money has been dishonestly used, but I am free to say that it has been very injudiciously expended. INJUDICIOUS EXPENDITURE. "One Of the first things the commissioners did was to rent a Hue house for $80,000 and settle down In it with their families. A groat deal of money has boon eaton up in salaries.

The commissioners say that a great deal of money is spent collecting the display of ccro als. It would not do the country very great credit.

Copyright, hy N. Y. Herald. Berlin, June 80. Tbe rumors of the approaching betrothaf of Prince Albert Victor of Wales to Princess Victoria of Prussia, second sister of tbe Orrman Emperor, are so persistent that they cannot be Ignored.

Their confirmation would be welcomed by all who know the Princess. She has the reputation of beinsr exceedingly amiable and good na tured. The only fault found iu her by the antl Engllsh party fs an oxoosslve preference for ber mother's country. But it is a trait which will only serve to make her more popular and welcome In England should the betrothal become a fact. The Kreui Zeitung gives currency to the reports from London that the Prince of Wales is oordially promoting the Duke of Cumberland's claims and that the financial support givon to the Duke's friends in Hanover at'tho Inst Reiubstair elections came from England.
