The Cronln Grand Jury this morning Loan! the testi mony o( Mrs. Philbin, outit of Martin Burko, the Winnipeg suspect Mrs. Phil Lin derided the ides that her nephew was a murderer, aud described him as a weak oJ rattlc-brninod young man, who lacked the courage to engage in a plot of such a character. She was unablo to enlighten the jury Hoarding IMiko's movemunls about tho time and previous to the mur der, as ho had ceased to livo at her house some timo before that Burke ihowoj but liltlo disposition to work, and less to pay any board bill, and she had declined to longer harbor hiui iu the house. Chief Hubbard was closeted with the Jury for a hull hour, (living tho lutest de velopments of tho police investigations, 'and suggesting the names of witucMcs who might be ablo to enlighten the jury on cer tain points. Frank Pcanlan, Ir. Cronin's friend, gave the names of several Clan-na-Uuol uien who it was thought might know eoraethlug of tho conspiiacy or of the movements of parties connected with it, and soverul now lubpcnac wero issued upon his suggestion. BoU-rt Bruce, the detective, was before the jury tills afternoon, and required to give his version of the story that Alder- man John McCortuick onco attempted to bribe him to rcmovo Croniu. This story sank Into Imdgnifkanco under the queries of tho Grand J ury, and proved to have had its origin In simple expression of dis like and distrust that McCoruiRk once passed upon Cronln. Luko Dillon was once more railed to the stand and questioned minutely re garding the inner working of tho Clan pa-Guel. anil those of its (.'liicairo mem bers whom he had found in his investign- turns to have been bostilo to Cronin. Mr. Iillon also gave certain additional details regarding the charm against Alexsnder Sullivan and the memorable trial which ensued. -Harry Jordan, the bartender, was ones- tioncd regarding tho habits and associates of aid Hfhnn. ttio siwixtt, but no dis claimed any Intimate acquaintance with liiin. Ho testified to having frequently seen Burke and l'atrick Cooney together. and they on several occasions, visited tho saloon in company.

Precisely at 10:30 o'clock this forenoon Martin Ilurke was uisrched Into tho Court of tho O.uorn's Bench and placed in tho murderer' dock for arraignment. Ilo was handcuffed and closely guarded.

It was just as woll to bsv a week' adjournment at once. It wm probsbio that counsel would have to bo brought from Chicago, and nilmr inn t tors would have to be gone Into. Isaac Cuiuploll, for tho prisoner, re minded the court that Chicago was oiilv a day and a half from Winnipeg. The Grand Jnrr, aitting at Cook County, was through with tho prisoner, who had been UcUiucd bero sinco bunday. Tho remand requested by the prosecution was alto gether too long. Mr. Howell said it would bo necessary to prove to the court that Cronin hud been murdoicd, and then prove that Burko was suspected of the murder, so that several witnesses might have to bo examined.

HI Version of the Blackburn-Chandlor Affair In lb Committee-Boom. Concohi), X. II., June 21. Senator Wni. 11 Chandler yesterday iwtucd to the lie- publicans of New Hampshire, over his own signature, the following statement re garding his quarrel with fenutor Black- bum in February last: "Mr. Pullowav, dutlng hi character istic speech nt tho caucus, saw fit to refer to the affair between Senator Blackburn and inywlf, which happened in tho room of the Comiuit'ee on ludian Affair of tho United Slates tenate on the 'IM of Feb- ruary l.-ut. So long as misrepresentations concerning this affair only served as mate rial for assault's upon me by Democratic ncwspaier, I have not cared to notice theui, but sinco they have been repro duced in tho republican Legislative cau cus which ha nominated me for Senator, I take occiuiion to dirpose of them. The Bcpublicaus present have never given to the press my statement of what actually took place. The committee wai in session, no potnon being preocnt except the II vo member and tho clerk. A chairman I was rending the draft of a re port Senator Faulkner rcmurkod that he thought I undertook, in a certain para graph, to assert something which it had been mutually agreed shoulJ not bo claimed. I said that I diJ not think so, nnd that I would read the clauno again. Mr. Iliackburn vehemently intervened and said that I was certainly violating tho un derstanding, and that it would so upear if I would read tho paragraph again, and read it exactly as 1 did kdorc. 1 aked bun what reason ho hud for intimating that 1 woulil lalM-iy read the paragraph. Ho replied Ihut ho thought ao because it on l.l be liko my whole action in the cane, and that he considered mo cnpablo of do in anything to avrve partisan purpose. Then ensued an angry eollotjuy, which I cannot undertake to produce with accu racy. 1 said th.il I rcentcd his imputa tion, and he replied dellantly. At some point ho made a charge of my ollkiul integ rity, and 1 made mint bitter imputation tion him. I do not rcmcmlcr the order of sequence. Then be, muking somn threat ol personal vilcnre(Idonot recall the words), started around K nntor Faulkner, who was besidu him, toward the end of the table where I sat, with r-'enator Culloiu at my right- I said that he did not dare to du what he bid threatened. A became around toward mo Mr. Faulkner inlcrnnacd. aud Mr, Cullom arose and moved toward and placed his hand on Mr. Iliackburn. who at once stopped, and shortly resumed his sest, snd Mr. Faulkner asked mo to go on reading the report. I said ttiit U-lore doing ao it in ut be decided whether the busiiie was to bo again interrupted In the same way. Mr. Blackburn, after somo tslk, said that he would nut say one word more duriug the session of the committee, and that he would apologize to Metwra, Cullom and l'latt, ami to Mr. Faulkner. but not to mo. 1 be reading of the it-port by me then proceeded. "Tho whole affair occupied hardly more than I minute. 1 remained seated in my chair. 1 expected no personal violence, and was subjected to none and to no ap preciable indignity, save threatening words and gestim-. I do not think that I was In tho slightest degree excited, dis turbed or apprv lien.ive. All accounts which represent Mr. Iliackburn as pulling my ear or dragging me Irotn my chair, or hauling me unn-siating about the room, or represent me a begging protection of the. committee, or as iu any way deprecating Mr. Itlarkburu' wrath are untrue. Hie ebullition was more ludicrous than dan gerous. Ol conree, 1 understand very well thst some Ieruocrata wish to intimi date nie, and failing in l list, to degrade me. To do this it will be necessary for them to adopt some more rlfectiv plan than that UcvcloiN-d In the coiinuiiu-o-room on tho 22d of February or the next day and thereafter In the Iiemocratlc newspapers, which gavo fictitious account of what had taken place.

No Excuse for Proctor Knott This Time, With t Itzpatrlck on Ills Back Terra Cott to Start at fibespa boad Bay. The long talked of American Derby, worth ?18,000 to tho winner, will bo run today at Chicago with tho following field of starters: Spokane, Sorrento, Proctor Kuott, Don Jose, Once Again, Outbound, Ilctricvc, Long Dance, 1.0 Premier and Sportsman. Tho favorite in tho pool rooms last night was Spokano at 2 to 1, closely followed by Proctor Knott at & to 2, 0 to 1 each against Sorrento and Don Jose, 10 to 1 Onco Again, nnd 20 to 1 each Outbound, Iictrieve, Long Dance, J-o Pre mier and Sportsman. Tna Aitkal in cline to tho opinion that the ruco lies bo- tween Spokane and Sorrento, and that they will finish in that order. Sorrento' last public performance was at San Francisco, CuL, April 2a, 1SS.I, where, in the 1'ucihc Ucrby, with us pounds up. ho .ran second to the Cur. one mile and ouu-half, in 2 3d, and was only beaten a short head, li bo ran equal that pertormance to lay, he will not be far behind tho winner. It i given out that he ha been specially prepared for the race, aud Calilorma money will go ou him in chunks.

Lion Jose and horrvnlo each f .1. tho others nowhere. Tho Derby poolroom was packed with people, and at tho -New-market there was alno a Inrgn attendance. "Who' your pick for the K-rhy?'' was the quesliou thst pas.ied from lip to hp, and it was easy to seo that rroctor Kuott had as many Iriemls a Spokane, especially among those who Inst on hi 111 before, and hate to admit that their judgment was at fault. His first defeat they attribute, to bad riding, his second to uor form. With 1-iupatrtck up, they say, I roc'.or Knott will show them all his heels. It lathis clsss of people that fill the colfer of the poolroouia. llio technical uumo for them is "sucker." Kilev, who has twice piloted Fiwikauo tj victory, will ride him again today. Dully li.is the mount oil Sorrento and Winched on Sun Jose. Murphy ride Once Again, and Buruc will probably bo up 011 IO rri-mier.

The appointment by the President nnd continuation by tho Senate of tho United States, of ono Patrick F.gan, of Nobruhku, to tho position of Minister to Chili, is a public act that culls for a reprobation aud protests, insulting to the sense of decency of all truo citixens, and a degradation ot administrative Uitostnanstiip for the fol lowing reasons; "1. This Patrick Fnn I ono of those whoso conduct is now under Investigation by a special commission of Ilriliith judges aa to participation iu what overy rivilujd Stuto brand a a crime against lifo and proerty, and if guilty should rocuivo con dign punishment "2, The position of Miuistcr toonoof tho most advanced States ot South America should bo filled by the best representative ability tho Nation can afford, and not Hindu a payment for party service to a mere isililicul Arab; rsNH-ially is tin pat ent when wo remember tho humiliating circumstances of tho rebuke this Nation received through a roiniuiNu'on npHiiuted to tho satno country under tho adminis tration of President 'Arthur.

I have known Patrick Fg;in ever since h hs ateil iu tho rity of lanenln year ago. llu has always proven himself lo Im an upright snd houorablo man, a good cilist-n In every resect You can no more tar nlnh his reputation with your vilo slan der than the loul bird of night can assail the eagle.

Th sentiment and toiio ul vour pro-ti-t smack more ol the lmifon um Inlliieni-rs, and ol tho dark ages, than of the enlightened and liberal tendencies toward dec government of the nineteenth century. 1 doubt not If yon had lived in those time tho rack, the torture and t lis inqulnitlon would have iMs-n your instru- n talilie lor speoding liberal principle and securing home rulo. You designaUi yourselves a member ol ths lintish American Association. We are all Amer ican people hero; we are no 'all and 'all people.
