"THAT CRONIN MATTER" — ■ : A Remark Whereby Seems to Hang a Tale. Convict Coleman's Incriminat ing Conversation. ————— He Practically Confesses Complicity in the Crouiu Murder. Hli Description T«llle« With That of Cooney the Fox —Was He the Driver of the White Horse? \ By the Associated Press.] Salem, Ore., Oct. 2.—The dispatch last night, from Chicago, which stated that Thomas Coleman, who is now con fined in the penitentiary here, is sup posed to have been connected with the murder of Dr. Cronin, was news to the prison officials, who state that they have bad no communication with the Chicago officials about the matter. Tbey claim to have beard a rumor that Coleman was connected with the crime, bat put no faith in the story. Coleman was sent here from Portland, in March, 1691, to serve a two-years' term for the crime of assault with a dangerous weapon. He had been a trusty up to two months ago, when a bench warrant for his arrest came from Portland, where he is wan tee) to answer the charge of robbery and as sault. Coleman is smooth, and has the appearance of being an all-around crook. When he heard of the dispatch, this morning, connecting him with Dr. Cro nin's murder be said be would have ao ' trouble in clearing himself of the charge. He formerly lived in Chicago, where he has a brother and three sisters living. 'He said in the past five years he has been in Oklahoma, Puget Sound and San Francisco. He seemed nervous when speaking about Chicago, and when he was permitted to read tbe Chicago dispatch his hand quivered and tears came to his eyes-. Two months ago when Coleman had bis trustyship taken away, he asked the reason, and said he presumed it was on account of "that Cronin matter." At that time he said nothing further about the crime, but has since told tbe convicts that he i could easily prove an alibi. Coleman i says be has never gone by the name of , Geogbegan, but said he was formerly known by tbe name of Catston. He states that he was married during the ' excitement over Cronin's murder. < Coleman, alias Carlson, is 40 years 1 old, and of medium height; he has a ' heavy head of soft, dark hair, ting"* i with gray, and a full sandy beard and ' mustache; his eyes are blue and far apart; bis forebead is broad. The two-years' term he is serving for the crime of assault, expires soon, but the prison officials have a warrant for his arrest for tbe crime of robbery at Portland. His prison friends, while they were "trusties" together, say Coleman's description pretty nearly tallies with "Cooney, tbe Fox," who drove the white horse and took Cronin to the Oarlson Cottage, where tbe mur der was committed. Coleman says he knew Dan Cough lin, the detective, who was sentenced to prison at Joliet for life, for the murder 1 of Cronin. It will be remembered that it was Coughlin who ordered the vehicle for hie friend, and it was this vehicle that carried Cronin to the cottage. The prison officials say they know nothing of Coleman's connection with 1 the Cronin case, and say they have no ! warrant for his arrest from Chicago. ! They are inclined to believe there is nothing in the story. Two months ago, j when Coleman was locked up, he asked ' for tbe reason, and remarked it was 1 probably on account of "that Cronin matter," but the prison officials thought nothing of it and made no investigation. Coleman denies ever having said he - was arrested in Oklahoma for the mur- ; der of Cronin, but says he had been in Oklahoma. He was arrested the very j day he arrived in Portland. He was sentenced for two years for the crime of assault with a deadly weapon, committed upon a policeman, at tbe Union depot. He is known to tbe offi cers as a pickpocket and general smooth, ' all-around crook. He says he knows nothing about tbe Cronin murder, but admits making tbe remark that he "guessed it was on account of that Cronin matter," when tbe penitentiary guards locked him up. He says he made that remark because he did not know what else to say, and be had to account for it in somo way. He is a cigar maker by trade, and says he used to work in the Chicago Times press room in tbe days of Story. He save be never went under tbe name of Geohegan, and intimates that Thomas Carlson is his real name. The Associated Press reporter asked "Were you in Chicago when Cronin was murdered?" Coleman replied: "You ask pretty direct questions." He evaded the answer, finally saying he lived at Chicago with bis wife, but said be was not at borne then. British Occupation of Uganda. London, Oct. 2.—The Press Associa tion says: Tbe amount of the grant voted by tbe government to enable tbe British East Africa company to remain in Uganda, for at least three longer, is £12,000.

I IN THE FAR NORTH. Scientific Researches on the East Coast of Greenland. Gloucester, Mass., Oct. 2.—The j scbooiers Ada S. Babson and Laurel arrived today fro.n Iceland, each bring ing 14,000 pounds of halibut. August Johnson, a member of the crew of the Babson, was lost overboard on the • homeward passage. The Danish bark Hogla, exploring the coast of Greenland, had arrived at Dvreljord. Her com mander reposts that she was 15 months on this coaßt, most of the time impris oned in ice; that one of the crew had died, and that explorations of considerable importance were made. . The party found the remains of the Es quimaux habitations, with tbe dishes made of stone, and other articles, tbe use of which was unknown. The Hogla explored the island of Janmayer, in lat itude 71 degrees north, longitude 7 de grees west, very deep water being found in that locality. The party dredged in . 475 fathoms of water, bringing up sedi ment containing much animal vegetation aB sea anemone, together with pebbles similar to iron ore. After refitting at leeland, the Hogla sailed August 28th for Greenland to complete the scientific researches she bad been commissioned to do, intending to remain all winter in south Greenland.

WnwtPEo, Man., Oct. 2.—Miss Olive Odell, a well known young Winnipeg lady, prominentin the Episcopal church, and daughter of a Canadian Pacific offi cial here, was found dead in the kitchen of her parents' residence this morning. Tbe body lay iv a pool of blood, with a bullet hole through the breast, and her brother's gun lying near by. Tbe circumstances are so sensational and mysterious as to completely baifle the 'police. The theory of suicide was at first accepted, but the statements of a neighbor that at 3 o'clock she beard a man hurriedly leave the Odell residence and run down the street, led to the sup position of murder. It is strange that none of the neighbors, nor the family of ' tbe girl sleeping upstairs, beard tbe re port of the gun. A LIGHT FROM HEAVEN.

They Will Honor Themselves by Sup porting the Democratic Party. New York, Oct. 2.—The Irish-Ameri can union, an organization of Irish- Americans of this city, today issued an address deprecating the fact that, "prompted by the Republican party," many citizens of their race bad been tempted to form Irish Republican clubs, "to advocate, and, if possible, convince the citizens of their race that iv aiding tbe Republican party tbey would help Irish interests." The address says the futility of such talk is apparent to any thoughtful citizen, and that it was not alone unamerican, but unwise for any body of citizens to be guided or con trolled in the exercise of their duties by any other consideration than patriotic duty to America. "In performing that duty," says the address, "we believe we can best do so by supporting the Democratic party." A BLOW TO THE FUSIONISTS. The Kansas Democrat Bolts- the Fusion Movement.

A ROYAL SCANDAL. I Dirty Linen of German A rlstocrata to Be Waibcd In Public. New Yoek, Oct. 2.—A Berlin cable to a morning paper Bays: A suit which in volves no less a person than Empress Eugenia Victoria and near relatives of Sleewig-Glucksbourg, will be called in tbe courts in a few days. It appear* that the late Emperor William, after taking possession of Sieswig Holstein in 1868, tried his utmost to befriend tbe deposed dynasty. Iv this spirit be sanctioned the marriage of his grand eon, tbe present Kaiser William, with a poverty - stricken princess of Augustenbonrg, and Princß Fred erick Leopold, of Prussia, to he? sister. He distributed the castles and crown estates of the Hotstein family among its various homeless members, and put them on their feet again. Among the castles was the Glucksbourg echfoss, which he turned over to Duke Charles of Sleswig. The duke and duchess are dead, and tho present incumbent, up to a few weeks a«o, considered himself the undisputed proprietor of the Schloss- Gluckebourg. Then a secret scandal was Sashed before his eyes by a letter from a lady belonging to the highest nobility in the country, who showed him deeds end other legal in struments to prove that her daughter is the child of 3he late Duke Charles, who, she claims, left her all his per- I sonal p-operty and selected Schlass- Glucksbourg for her residence. Duke Frederick Ferdinand, who, like tbe rest ef tbe family, considered his late Uncle Charles a model orproprioty, refused to believe tbe lady's statement, and said the docuuents were not eaffieient legal evidence. The lady, therefore, appealed to the kaiter. who,-however,, refused to interfere. All hopes of an amicable ar rangement being abandoned, the case will! not be tried in open court ar.d my diplomat friend says a good deal of dirty linen will be washed: A FA WIN4S BIO*. Hunger Cause* a Serious In a Mexican City. Saw Anton», Tex, T Oct, 2;— Homer Finley, who for the past six years was in business in the city ofr Morlia-, Meaico, arrived today,.and gave-a vivid acconnt of a famine riot in thafe city last Sunday. Morlia- is the capital of the state of Michoacan.and is one of the most beau tiful cities of Southern Mexico, but: sev eral thousand poor people are on tbe verge »f starvation, owing to the total failure of crops and the scarcity of other food supplies. When a famine was threatened several months ago, several wealthy merchants of Mollis contracted for largEr quantities of corn in tbe United States, enough to supply the suffering people. Speculators put up prises, and extorted what little money the poor peo ple had in a ebon time. For tee past two months the suffering has been intense, and many deaths have oc curred. The streets besaine thronged with beggars, aDd men, women and children made a heart-rending appeal for help. This was kept up until last Sunday, when the starving hoi de organ ized themselves into a mob,.and, driven by desperation, began a concerted attack upon the food stores of thecity. Fully 6000 people were in the m«b, and tbe police were utterly powerless to stay it. Two regiments of federal cav alry and one of infantry stationed at Morlia were called out to quell the riot, but this only added to the desperation of the starving people. The eoldieas opened fire, and one-man was killed and several wounded. Tbe mob looted the granaries and then dispersed. Finley looks for a repetition of the trouble. CHOLERA STATISTICS.
