Iinimin, May 23. Mr. Gladstone was present at the session of the Parncll com mission to-day. Cross examination of Mr. Win. O'Brien was continued by Attorney-General Webster. Mr. O'Brien declared that I'nited Ireland, his paper, worked in accordance with constitu tional methods ami advocated nothing but iieaceful means to attain the end sought by the Irish parliamentary party. He admitted writing an nrticle which had been printed in United Ireland, in which it was stated that Oueen Victoria was only known in Ireland by her scarce ly .decently disguised hatred of 1 rein ml and by her inordinate salary. He also admitted having written another article declaring that Earl Spencer would lie the last .strong Englishman who would at tempt to rule Ireland by barbarism, paid perjury, butchery and the use of the sa cred nqie. He admitted tiie authorship also of nil article declaring that t lie chair man of the committee scliTtcd to receive the Prince of Wales on the occasion of lus visit to Ireland would lie dnvculrom public life. At this isnnt Mr. t) linen Jiecnim; ex cited und vehemently exclaimed: "He has been, and rather than to allow Eng lishmen to lie deceived by the show of sham loyally I am resolved to tell them the truth." . Continuing Mr. O'Brien said that he personally had never spoken disresiicet- iullv or offensively nlmul the Prince of Wales. No people, he declared, ever suf fered more for lovallv than Irishmen und hone profiled' by their protestations of lovallv less than the people who op pressed them. If it was clear that Eng land would not satisfy the aspirations of Ireland and if there was any rational chance ot success uu attempt should Ik made to relief lie declared that London pajK-rs were more responsible lor the actions of tile dynamite patty than was either Fiuertv or Ford. But for the views those papers had expressed 11100, hmiikIs would not have liecu collected in America for the use of dynamiters. Referring to articles concerning the Oueen and Prince of Wales, previously mentioned in his testimonv. O'Brien said they were justified at the time the were written, out were not instilled 111 the present state of relations lietwcen England and Ireland. The articles were not intended 10 calm the people's objec tions to British rule as then administered. He thought it hateful now. -Parnellitcs, when the visit of tni ,1'iuiee-ot - WitIcs was under discussion by the authorities, passed a resolution advising the icoplc that the visit was not intended lor party purposes and should not lie the mere oc casion ot trouble. This action of the Parnellitcs resulted in creating a .feeling of calmness in the public. The Prince of W ales was allowed to pass throughout Ireland untioulilcd until the 1 lines null- lished an article declaring that his visit had crushed the power of Parnell. It was then thought desiieratelv necessary to show Englishmen that this was a mis take und the Prince's visit was lieiug used to strike down the Irish cause. O'Brien explained that when he made the speech in which he used the words "We are in a State of civil war temiered ny ine scarcity 01 nre arms, he was ex asin'rated by his"expulsion from the House of Commons und spoke under in tetiBe feeling cnused by the fearful hatred displayed by the majority of the House of Commons against the Irish members of that lxidy. He declared that if any people ever had .1 right to reliel the Iris! eope then had that right if there was a chance ot success. Attorney-General Webster interrupted Ihe witness at this point saying; 1 on oniy onjceieo loreneiiioii nccnusc lUwas hoiielcss. O'Brien "In the circumstances of the time, unquestionably. Violent language could not have lurlher mllamed the jieo- pies iniiids against England. The minds had become like lightning coniluc tors when the air is charged with dec tneitv. " O'Brien justified certain articles written lv him and printed in t inted Ireland to llustrntc the lirulnl argument that lie cause the English pcopleiiumlicrcd thirty minion nun ine insu lieopie tour million the English people were entitled to do ns they liked. Attorney-General Webster quoted fioni an article in t inted Ireland headed "A! len, Larkm and O Itnen Honored bv Their Chicago Kindred," and asked the witiu'sS whether it referred to Manchester murderers. O Brien replied : "Not murderers, but men engaged 111 open war who shot policeman by accident." Attorney-General "Sliootingat the po lice in the van at Manchester was legiti mate warfare?" O'Brien "It was not criminal, Men who oiK'tily take risks to release their comrades nre no more murderers than nnyboily here. They acted from the high est and noblest motives, Attorney General Webster, holding tin the paper "Do you sec the heading, 'Al len, Iurkm and O linen honored by their Chicago kindred ?' " O'Brien "Yes, and the article was written by me." Proceedings were iiilerruptcd bv cries of "Hear!" "Hear!" Attorney General Webslep "Why those hears!"hcars!'" - -Presiding Justice Human threatened that if order was not maintained he would have the court room cleared. He understood that O'Brien did not consider the shooting at Manchester murder, but he wished to remind him that the court did so rcgurd it. - O'Brien said he and Redmond invited Ford to lie present nt the Chicago con vention ns a proof of the chungcin feeling wrought by -Gladstone.' O'Brien cited the fact thnt Ford seemed to regret his former views und aiiieari'd to be harm less. This concluded O'Brien's testimony.

He milled that if nnv one connected with the State department was going on the Boston he did not know ol iu T1k officials nt the State department were equally ignorant of any intention to send a representative to Havti. Brcckenridgc Jones, of Itecaturt Ala., died on the President to-day, and in the name of the eitii'iis of New IVcatur in vited him to attend the ceremonies to ike nlace there on the 2Sth inst., in the celctinttion ol'thctqicuiug ol various in dustrial enterprises. The President re ceived Jones very cordially and assured mm unit lie iook a warm interest 111 tar industrial growth of the South, and ex: ivssed his gratification at the ninny evidences ol material industry which the South was exhibiting. The President iaul he regretted that the stat- ol public business would not cniiil him to, U preseul in K'rson ut the iqiciiiiig ot the new enterprise.

A decomposed ImhIv was found in n manhole of a Lake View sewer vesterdav, and was idedtiticd as that of 1H-. Cronin, the pronlinlrnt-trT-!hrlTTt, eago physician whose mysterious dis.-qv K'arani-e has aioused a theory of funnier which has been agitating Chicago lor iome days. Aooul 10 o clock this inoniing Capt. Witig, of the Lake View jmlice force, and Lieut. Scut tier, of Chicago, marched into tlie former's private office with a man lietwcen them. It was rumored that the stranger was the man who had been ar rested jii connection with the Cronin murder. ' This, however, the olliccrs denied mid said that the stranger was 11 friend of the murdered physician. This statement, however, does not meet with nnquulitied belief, P. O.

An inquest on the body has liecu postKiucd until this afternoon when the post mor 'cm will also lie made. Laths The man arrested this morn ing was P. O. Sullivan, ail ice dealer of Lake View with whom Cronin had a contract to ulleud such of his l.iUners as might liecoiue sick or- injured. Mr. Sullivan was not held, however, and 'tin' grounds for his arrcsLarc not very sub stantial. A great many rumors are con tinually put nlloat and help to keep up the excitement lint probably the inost snsalional incident of the day occurred when Col. W. P.

He closely examined the bodyandsaid: "There is 110 doubt about it now, Here is the Uidy of Dr. Cronin, the victim of a most foul and a'vlul murder. 1 can lay my baud upon the head of the man that instigated thecriiue. lean oinl him out and make no mistake." Rend was questioned about this state incut, but would only say that all he knew he would tell the Stale's attorney. Half an hour later Stale's Attorney Long lecker anil two ill his assistants arrived. Judge Ijouglcckcr first examined the lilootly trunk mid the corpse of Cronin, anil was then closeted lor an hour with Rend.
