Uneasiness in New York Over His Al- leged Policy of Withdrawal. New Yours, Nov. 19.—Considerable uneasi- ness in financial circles was caused today bya rumor from Washington that Secretary Win- dom intended to withdraw the government bonds deposited in the national banks. The bears used it in depressing stocks, while the loan crowd took advantage of the occasion = r cen bid up the rates for money.

It is generally tho bankers that bonds will be purchased by the overnment simultaneously with withdrawals, fr this is done it will increase the money in circulation, as the bonds command a premium. —— CAUGHT IN A TRAP. An Unlucky Witness for the Defense in the Cronin Case. Cutcaao,Nov.19.—Policeman McDonaldswore | he saw Dan Coughlin at the East Chicago-ave- nue station between 8:45 and 9 o'clock on tho nightof the murder. On cross-examination the witness fixed the time at 9 to 9:15 o'clock. He said he had kept quiet about the matter for fear of trouble to himself. . “In what paper did you read about Coughlin being connected with the horse and buggy?” “I do not know.” * “Was that before the body was found?” “Yes, sir.” “Now, do you not remember that it is a fact that Conghlin’s name was never connected with that in any manner whatever in the public press until the 25th of May, three days after the discovery of Cronin’s body?” [Sensation.] (Hesitatingly.) “It was written in the papers about him in connection with the rig from Dinan’s.” Wm. Muleahy was the next witness, He tes- tified he had known O'Sullivan since April 4 He was not a member of the Clan-na-Gael. A few days after he met O'Sullivan he was with him on an_ ice wagon, when they }met a man who resembled Coughlin, | The latter asked O'Sullivan if he was well ac- | quainted at Lake View, and he said yes, and he jaskedhim if he knew a young man by the name of Kunze—if he saw him to telephone to the Chicago-avenue police station and tell him, “I want to see him.” O'SULLIVAN’S CONTRACT, The witness had heard O'Sullivan speak of his contract with Dr. Cronin. The witness, who was an employe of O'Sullivan, complained } that one of his fect hurt him,and O'Sullivan told | the witness to go and sce Dr. Croninabout it,as | he (O'Sullivan) had a contract with Cronin to take care of his men, This was said in the presence of O’Sullivan’s other men. O'Sullivan also told the men on another occasion that he had a contract with a doctor to attend any one that was hurt on the ice wagon. The witness went on to say that in the latter part of April James Meahan, one of O’Sullivan's men, went to the office of the Lake View Record and got a lot of O'Sullivan’s newly printed cards. He gave the witness about fifty of them and the witness distributed them, O'SULLIVAN'S ALIBI, On the day of the murder, the witness fur- ther testified, O'Sullivan and he were on the ice wagon together, and they bad supper together. Both read during the evening, going to bed atthe same time and sleeping in the same bed. Lateron two of O'Sullivan’s men and acarpenter who was working there came tothedoor. They wereletin. After that Mrs. Wallen came into the room to get a cot bed and spoke to O'Sullivan. The witness further testified that he had heard the conversation between old man Carlson and O'Sullivan about LARGE AND COMPLETE ASSORTMENT OF HOUSE FURNISHINGS At prices that are surprisingly close?

The old man testified that O'Sullivan said he knew them and that they were all right. This witness testified that O'Sullivan said he knew none of them. ee From Wall Street Today. New York, Nov. 19,11 a.m.—There was con- siderable pressure to sell in the stock market this morning and the opening was decidedly weak, first prices generally showing declines from last night's figures of from 34 to & Lack- awanna and Northwestern leading among the active stocks. These declines were followed b: further concessions in the early dealings, and, although the selling movemeut was over before the expiration of the first half hour, Lacka~ wanna at its towest point had scoreda net loss of 1 per cent, sugar refineries 134, Louisville and Nashville, Missouri Pacific and cotton oil 3g each; Denver, Texas and Fort Worth % and otherssmaller amounts. At the same time decided strength was shown by Hocking coal and it rose 1'¢ to 20, and among the active stocks Richmond and West Point advanced fractionally, Colorado coal, however, wae one of the leading weak stocks and declined 13<. ‘Tke market then became quict and a slow up- ward movement took place, while the market displayed no further feature of interest, Union Pacific, cotton oil and St, Paul were the most active stocks and there was a fair busi- ness in Lackawanna, Reading, Louisville and Furniture of every description.

BEED'S FRIENDS CLAIM EVERYTHING—BUT HIS OPPONENTS SAY THEY ARE MISTAKEN—WHAT A STAR REPORTER GATHERED AT THE VARIOUS HEADQUARTERS TODAY. There are probably not more than thirty republican Representatives in Washing- ton, These are largely personal friends of this or that candidate for the speakership, so that at this moment there is little more than talk in the canvass here. But it would be absurd to that there is a candidate in tho ficld who has not made a pretty close study of the situation. Exch candidate has his headquarters open and may be easily found if any member wants to make a pledge of his support. It is generally agreed that Reed is going toshow up with more votes than any one else at the start. All the candidates and their friends will agree to that, HOW MUCH OF A LEAD WILL REED HAVE. Then the disagreement comes between Mr, Reed's friends and those of the other four candidates as to how much of « lead the Maine man will have. Mr. Reed’s friends claim that he has so many votes sure already that there is practically to be no contest. His antag- onists, onthe other hand, say that he has just enough of a lead to make him a target and that he cannot possibly be elected. The assumption of the friends of the other can- didates is that Mr. Reed will, at most, have no more that sixty votes (they won't concede him nearly as many), and that the other candidates having among them more than a majority of the votes, will hold their forces firmly until Reed is out of the field, Thon they agree that it will be something of a scrambie among the rest of them, ‘MB. BINGHAM SAYS IT WILL BE REED ON THE FIRST BALLOT. Representative Cabot Lodge, representing New England, and Representative Bingham of Pennsylvania are both here working hard in the interest of Mr. Reed and it is understood that the two Pennsylvania Senators are taking an active part in his interest. Mr. Bingham said to a Star reporter today: ANE Reed will be nominated on the first bal- lo Mr. Reed himself, of course, has nothing to say on the subject, but he assumes an attitude of as complete confidence as that held by his sup ters. e claims some of his friends make for him are that he will have 23 votes from New England, 2 from New Jeracy, 19 from York, 17 from Pennsylvania (Bingham goes farther and counts the whole delegation of Pennsyl- vania for him), 4 from Kansas, 4 from Cali- fornia, 1 from Oregon, and 2 from Minnesota, with the four new states and Wisconsin most likely for him. They say that there is no per- sonal feeling against Reed; that his record on all the party questions is good, and that with such a lead he is sure of the speakership, ‘These are their claims, ON THE OTHER HAND, the friends of all the other candidates laugh at these claims. They say that they know there will be at least ninety votes distributed among the other candidates and that they can hold that many for a long fight. They laugh at the claims of Mr, Reed’s friends as to his strength in New York and Pennsylvania, The New York delegation agreed that if two-thirds of their number agreed upon any candidate they would ali vote for him, It would take an agreement of 13 votes to bring this about. It is said by those who are disputing the claims for Mr. Reed that he has at the very most but seven of the New York votes, As to the Penn- sylvania delegation itis asserted positively that McKinley bas a majority of them. ALL THE OTHER CANDIDATES appear to be as confident as candidates can well be. They expect that the fight will be a long one and think that the victory will go to him whose friends have the best staying qualities. Every one of them is in the field to stay and none is anxious at this time to claim more votes than some other man hus. They profess to feel no alarm at the claims of Mr. Reed’s friends. They simply dispute the claims and add that he cannot hold ail the votes he will have on the first ballot, A BAPTIST COUNCIL, The Columbia Association Holds Its An- nual Meeting Today. ‘The Columbia association of Baptist churches commenced its twelfth annual meeting at the E Street Baptist church at 11 o'clock today.

A Movement Started to Do Away With the Old Structure. PETITIONERS ASK TO HAVE AN ENGINEER COM- ‘MISSION APPOINTED TO DEVISE PLANS AND AN APPROPRIATION MADE FOR & NEW BRIDGE—THE REASONS URGED. A strong, popular movement is under way to secure the removal or reconstruction of Long bridge, These petitions have been cir- culated and have been signed by leading citi- zens and business men with enthusiasm and practical unanimity so far as the opportunity has been given. The petitions are addressed to the Senate and House of Representatives and set forth: That owing to the improvement of the Potomac flats by the United States the Potomac river has been narrowed from 1 mile in width to 2,000 feet in width where the Long bridge crosses from the foot of 14th street iu the city of Washington to the Virginian shore, That at the time of the adoption of the present plan of improvement it was contem- plated by the board of engineers which adopted said plan that owing to such proposed narrow- ing of the river bed flooding would be caused thereby at times of freshet, and therefore the rebuilding of Long bridgo was_made “an early feature” of said plan as adopted. ‘This will appear by the report of the board of engincers, adopted February 18, 1882, and set forth in executive document No, 126, Sen- ate, 47th Congress, first session. Your peti- tioners respectfully show that owing to the faulty construction of the Long bridge as now oxisting the piers thereof are obliged to be eur- rounded by masses of stone built up from tho bottom of the river and forming pyramids around said piers to prevent the same from being washed oat by the current of the river. ‘That such pyramids and piers,and,indeed, the Long bridge itself, owing to ita being so low act as a dam to the river, and at times of freshet causo the wharves and the entire water front of the city of Washington and all the low parts of said city, and even part of Pennsylva- nia avenue, as well as the water front of Georgetown and the wharves thereof, to be in- undated; the sewers of Washington to be flooded and the cellars of business houses and residences situated in said low lying parts of said city to be filled with water, whereby great damage and destruction to goods and merchan- dise has been caused, and is again likely to be caused whenever a freshet occurs. Your petitioners respectfully show that the time has now arrived for the reconstruction of Long bridge in accordance with said plan as adopted; that the same is necessary, as well in a business point of view as because much ill health and disease results from said ritaer | and that whatever may be done hereafter wit! respect to the sewerage of Washington the re- construction of Long bridge, on the plan sug- gested by the board of engineers and adopted y Congress should be executed forthwith. The premises considered, your petitioners therefore pray that a liberal Sppropriation for the purpose of rebuilding said Long vridge may be made forthwith, and that a board of engineers, consisting of such officers as may be determined by the Secretary of War, may be appointed to decide the best method of con- structing said bridge, in order that the prop- erty and goods in the city of Washington may be protected from flooding by the freshets aforesaid, which occur every year in the Poto- mae river and generally both in the fall and spring. ———.—_—. EQUIPMENT OF WAR SHIPS. More Money Needed—Recommendations of Commodore Dewey. The Secretary of the Navy has received the annual report of the bureau of equipment and recruiting, submitted by Commodore Geo, Dewey, the present chief. The report also contains that of his predecessor in office, Capt. W. 8. Schley. The estimates for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1891, are as follows: Salaries in bureau, $72,630; equipment of vessels, $900,000; purchase and installation of elecric search lights on board ships of war, $25,000; installing an electric welding machine in the Boston navy yard, $12,000; for navigation purposes and navigation supplies, $125,000; installing moni- tor Puritan with an electric lighting plant, $20,000; same for Lancaster, 210.000; for ex- penses of civil establishment under bureau of equipment and recruiting, $11,525; same under bureau of navigation, %5,100; for contingent expenses of bureau, €20,000—total, $1,201,255. Estimates for the service by the naval observa- tory foot up 280,716; nautical almanac office, $24,180, THE NEW SHIPS ARE LARGE COAL CONSUMERS. There is a considerable increase in the esti- mate for the equipment of vessels, amounting to $225,000 over the appropriation for the pres- ent year. This is necessitated by the increased denmiands upon the appropriation for coaling. ‘The new ships are large coal consumers, and Commodore Dewey enila attention to the con- sideration that, as the building of these px powered vessels has become pene of the government, the increased demands for the navy in the matter of coal must be recogmzed to give effect to the purpose of Congress, As a basis of comparison it is stated that the Dolphin, the smallest of the new steel vessels in commission, consumed dur- ing tho past fiscal year about $35,000 worth of coal, and on this basis it is apparent that for coal alone the sum of $575,000 is needed. OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS. Capt. Schley recommends the passage of ‘an act providing for the retirement of enlisted men from active duty after twenty years of consecutive service. He also points out the need of a more uniform system of punishment for the minor offenses committed on board ship. He recommends that all appointments Ge heehee kad gunners be made from the list of those qualified by the advanced course of instruction given to en- listed men at Washington and Newport, During the year there were 2,738 applicants for enlist- ment, of whom 1,846 were rejected. Of the 892 accepted 194 failed to report after the prelimi- nary examination. It is the opinion of the bureau that it would be a wise policy to foster the apprentice system and to increase the num- ber of enlistments annually to 1,500 instead of 750, as now allowed by lai BOTH OUT OF OFFICE, ‘The Resignation of Miss Tanner, Daugh- ter of the ex-Commisstoner, Accepted. The resignation of Miss Ada Tanner, the confidential clerk of the commissioner of pen- sions, was accepted today by Gen. Raum. Miss Tanner is the daughter of ex-Commissioner Tanner and received the appointment while her father was at the head of the pension office. When Gen. Raum assumed charge of: the office Miss Tanner offered her resignation, as the place is one which is intended to be filled bya personal appointee of the com- missioner. Gen. Raum, however, declined tofaccept the resignation and Miss Tanner con- tinued to discharge the duties of that position. She, however, came to the conclusion that she would retire from the place and so informed Gen. Raum, who finally agreed to accept her resignation. He has not decided who will be selected for the vacancy. OTHER PENSION OFFICE CHANGES IMPENDING, Gen. Raum has under consideration a num- ber of transfers and promotions and other changes in the personnel of the office, which will be announced in a short time. These ehanges will be made in order to securea a greater efficiency in the present force, as Gen. Raum believes. The room occupied by the first deputy com- mussioner, Mr. Smith, who is away on leave, is being and put in order for the winter. As has been al ted that Mr. Smith will resume his duties, it is stated that his successor has not yet been determined upon, although there are quite & number who are willing to step into his shoes.

Delegate Sampson of tho United States dis- agreed with Mr. Goodrich and favored the amendment, as he thought it was dangerous for a vessel to ena to pass through « squad- ron—dangerous both to herself and tothe squadron. A vote was taken and the amend- ment was adopted, fourteen voting in the affirmative and five in the negative. ‘The amendment proposed yesterday by Dele- te Norcross of the United States, providing for additional lights for steamers towing, was taken up and adopted.

Senator Stockbridge Does Not Expect Much From it but Talk. Senator Stockbridge has views of the Congress and its work that are not at all opti- mistic. He was sauntering easily up 15th street this afternoon enjoying an Al Havana and the temporary cessation in the rainfall and conversing with a Stan reporter over the things which might be done during the session. “There will be a great deal of talk,” said the Senator, “but I feel satis- fied that results will be few, and, from a patriotic standpoint, unsatisfactory. In the Senate, of course, we have such an assured majority that wo could do a at deal had the su) of the House’ ‘There, however, | the si oe slight, and Iam satisfied that the democrats will have | 80 many mildly obstructive schemes on hand | that but little legislation of any national importance can be looked for.

They are going to say, ‘Why don't you do this? and then they will provent ite ac- complishment and call the attention of the country to the fact that we are doing nothing.” GOOD FOR THE DISTRICT. “This condition of affairs,” continued tho Senator, ‘ought to give the District of Colum- bia achance for needed legislation, and I be- > — Salcyps we do Bg ro really or national, we generally atten: faithfully to minor matters,” i — NOT DOWN TO BUSINESS YET. The International Conference in Session but Not Fairly Settled to Work. There was almost absolate calm at the head- quarters of the international American confer- ence today. A few delegates wandered in, stayed around for awhile and then wandered outagain. Of business there was little or none and the three or four little groups of mingled North and South Americans passed away an hour or two chatting about what the confer- ence may do when it settles down to business, Nearly all the delegates and attaches will go to Roach’s ship yard at Chester, Pa, on Saturday to witness the launching of the Orizeba of the Ward line of steamers, Tomorrow at 1 o'clock the conference will assemble to discuss the report of the commit- tee on rules and to organize for the months of labor which are ahead of it. A few of the thoughtless ones connected with the gathering have stated that the whole t would be over and forgotten before the snow goes next spring, but some of the older and more exper- ienced minds have come to the conclusion that the conference will be holding regular sessions in the Wailach house when the daisies peer, through | the | sod and it may e that the delegates will not have departed when haying time comes around end when the song of the scytho-sharpener isheard in the land, It was very evident to those who looked over the assemblage of dele- gates yesterday that a vast amount of almost unrestrainable eloquence was present and that it willtake each man quite awhile to relieve himself of his oratorical burden. Some of the South Americans are gifted with a good deal of high-grade ability to talk, and rumor has tt that some of the United States delegates will not suffer by comparison, Besides there are lots of work todo.

There have been more officers put on the beats that include the auction rooms and the market, but occasionally a pocket has been picked and in almost every instance the culprit has managed to elude the officers.

An outcry was made and Policeman Kaucher arrested a negro, who, it is alleged, threw the pocketbook behind a stand in the market.

A Lingering Rain Storm, The prediction made yesterday that it would clear up last night was based on the supposi- tion that the storm which was yesterday central over West Virginia would act in a do- cently accommodating manner and would move along quickly enough to have passed this city before midnight. It was disappointing storm, for it began to loaf justas soon as i reached this region and at 8 o'clock this morn- ing it was centered very nearly over Washing- tou, The result was a disagrecable continuance of the bad wenther. It couid not hang on mach longer, however, and so the morning tion is worthy strong credence.
