Last Tlgrams to he Str LATER ABOUT THE MANHATTAN. The Names of the Lost Cannot Be Ascertained. New Yorx, Nov. 22.—The Old Dominion steamship Manhattan, which left this city for West Point, Va., at 4 o'clock last Tuesday after- noon with thirty-five passengers, collided with the schooner Agnes Manning, from Baltimore for New York, and went to the bottom, At least fifteen lives are supposed to have been lost. The first information of the disaster was given inthe Associated Press dispatch from New London. At the company’s office the information re- ceived pointed to the fact that in all proba- bility over twenty persons have been lost. The vessel's crewnumbered thirty-two, She also car- ried three swerage passengers. The names of only a few of the crew are known by the Old Dominion people. The manager of the company said that the vessels on his line exchange crews atthe ond of each trip and it was impossible to state which of the employes of the com- jae were ou board the Manhattan, The Man- a was Valued at $150,000 and there was no insurance on her. She carried a very small cargo, only 166 tons of general merchandise— principally Groceries and dry goods. ‘Tho Man- attan was a wooden vessel, schooner rigged, of 1,155tons burden, and was built at Chester, Pa,, in 1879, STRANGE FFATURES OF THE DISASTER. The t@ that the schooner with which the steamer collided has arrived at Philadelphia comparatively safe and makes no report of loss of life or sinking of the other vessel suggests the fear that most of the Manhattan's crew have been drowned. Besides the captain of the schooner reports that the commander of the steamer refused to give the name of the vessel when signaled to do go by the captain of the Manning. Fenwick island, where the collision occurred, is on the Delaware coast and on the dividing line between Delaware and Maryland. It is 20 miles south of Cape Henlopen, This is the second vessel lost by collision by the Old Do- minion company in less than a month's time. On the 29th of October last ti steamer Cleo- para was sunk off the Delaware ea iiding with the steamboat Crystal Wa pily no lives were lost then. dud aerongs THE CRONIN TRIAL. The Defense Making a Thorough Effort to Break the Proof. Curcaco, Nov. 22.—The first witness called in the Cronin murder case this morning was Dr Andrews, but Mr. Hynes not being present to conduct the examination Mrs. Hoertel, the Ger- man woman who gave such damaging evidence against the defense, was called to the witness staud. Mr. Forrest explained that he wanted to show that her story of having been locked out of her house the might of May 4 by her husband, was very improbable if not untrue. Owing to Mrs, Hoertel’s inability to speak English about all Mr. Forrest could get out of her was that she did not see the lock; that she had not bought any key, and that her husband told her he put on a new and that she could not getin, Mr. Forre Sgn up trying to make her understand, The stato did not cross examine, Mr. Forrest then called August Salsemen, The next witness was August Solzman. He testified that he helped Hoertel put the new lock on the door after May 8. Witness bad worked at five or six plsces here during the past two years, but could not remember the names of any of them or when he began or quit work at any place. Dr. Edmund Andrews, professor of surgery in the Rush Medical college ever since the col- lege was founded, was the next wit- ness. The defense asked him the same long hypothetical question which — was put yesterday to Dr. Moyer, setting forth the finding of a body in a catch basin and miuutely describing the wounds, abra- sions, &c., as on the body of Dr. Cronin, and if he could form an opinion as to the cause of the man’s death. Dr. Andrews said: *‘No.” John Stift.a policeman, was recalled and corrected his testimony that it was Monday morning. the 6th of May. when he issued the order to find out what horses went out from the livery stable. Jacob Lowenstein, who was a member of the police force from 1883 to May, 189, and a part- ner of Conghlin’s on the police force from 1887 to the time witness was discharged, gave con- siderable testimony tending to show the en- sity which between John C. Harrity, one the witnesses for After this tes- ‘lock to of the prosecution, and Coughlin, timony the conrt took a recess unt: take the deposition of Lyuch, the distiller, who is ill, It is believed that Lynch's testimony will practically finish the list of witnesses for the defense. ‘There will certainly not be more than one or two more. One of Forrest’s Witnesses. Curcago, Nov, 22.--Badenbender, the wit- ness from Hoboken, N.J., who yesterday testi- fied that it was nota white horse which took Dr, Cronin away May 4, is under arrest, After court adjourned this afternoon Officer Lyndville, with his prisoner, was at the corner of Clark and Michigan streets going to the states attorney's office, when Mr. Qualey, one of the counsel for the defense, and Mr. Forrest's clerk = endeavored _—to take the prisoner away. A crowd soon collected, but the prisoner was safely landed in the states attorney's office. As he was ascending the steps on the west side of the criminal court building Mr. Qualey shouted to Budenbender that he would be taken care of and to keep his mouth shut. ——— They Failed.

Sovrm Benv, Ixp., Nov. 22.—Some months ago the community was startled by the sudden death of A. C, Staley, a prominent woolen manufuetnrer of this city, whose death was supposed to have resiited from a dose of mor- phive given him by mistake for quinine by Mr. Alexander, a druggist. The latter from the first stoutly denied that he could have made the fatal mistake, After a thorongh investi- gation the coroner has exonerated the drug- gist and declares that the package of quinine was taken and morphine substituted for it by some unknown person.

This morning the cottage was broken open, and the floor, ceiling and walls of three rooms were found almost literally covered with blood.

It Will Be Warm Now Until the Caucus to be Held November 30. THE COMBINE AGAINST BEED—IT 18 VERY ACTIVE 80 FAR, BUT IT 18 NOW GOIX@ TO BE EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF UNTIL THE WIXD UR—GET- TING' AFRAID OF M'KINLEY. In accordance with the agreement of all the candidates for Speaker and the friends of can- didates for other offices Hon, L. E. McComas, secretary of the republican caucus of the Fiftieth Congress, according to the custom thet has prevailed, has given notice requesting the republican Representatives-elect to the Fifty- first Congress to meet in caucus in the Hall of Representatives at noon on Saturday, Novem- ber 30, to nominate eandidates for Speaker and other offices. THE COMBINATION AGAINST REED. The speakership fight is being brought down to “hard pan.” The effect of the attack upon Mr. Reed's position is beginning to show. It is asserted that he is losing ground, and the other candidates appear to be feeling very happy. It looks now as if the attempt to combine the south and west against Reed were going to be snecessfui, largely because of what is said about his record on silver and river and harbor improvements. These two things are being used for all they are worth by the other candidates. The southern and west- ern members are very sensitive on both these points, and the assertion that Mr, Reed is op- posed to both silver and river and harbor im- provements is a strong argument against him with them, ‘MR. REED's VISIT TO NEW YORK is attributed to two things. First that he wants to confer with his friends there as to how the New York vote is to be cast. Secondly, that he wants to consult with some of the eastern finan- ciers upon a plan to meet the aggressive oppo- sition of the silver men. It is believed that he wants to be able to assure the silver men that he will not particularly antegonize their interests, and that he wants to see how far he can go toward satisfying them without losing the support of the New York financiers. His opponents contend, however, that nothing he may say ou the silver question now will influence his chances of election, as he will be judged by his past record on the question, especially by the position he occupied when the act of 1878 was adopted. McKinley has been played against Reed to draw off votes in Pennsylvania and New York, and, as report Bed the Reed stock as falling, the Ohio candidate gets a little boom. M'KINLEY AND THE SOUTHERN VOTE. Some very strong claims are now being made for McKinley, among them that he will have the southern votes, As the southern men are not all here yet this thing may not be quite assured yet. The other candidates are on the watch and there was considerable activity at the bead- quarters of Mr. Cannon, Mr, Burrows aud Gen. Henderson, They will be careful to see that Mr. McKinley does not gain too much from the fact of his being made prominent in his fight against Reed. Each of them is confident and is getting down to real work. ‘The situation ap- ears to be now that the fight is still ‘‘any- Body's fight.” EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF NOW. The chances are that from this time forward each candidate will devote more attention to getting votes for himself than to fighting Reed articularly, Heretofore there has een but little objection on the part of any western candidate to claims made by any other western man, as the more votes each had the fewer there were left for Mr. Reed. They all believe now that Mr. Reed is materially weakened; that the speakership is bound to go to a western man and cach one is willing to give the impression that he is the particular western man whois most favored. They gre already counting on who will get Mr. Reed's following when the break comes, MR, BUTTERWOUTH DOESN'T WANT IT. Several attempts have been made to induce Representative Butterworth to become a can- didate for the speakership, but in vain. Mr. Butterworth is most positive in his adherence to the cause of McKinley, and he state such scbeme for the breaking up of McKinley’s chances can be worked with his knowledge or consent, He says—and he puts a good deal of enphasis in his remarks—that he is for McKin- Jey and only McKinley, A CONFERENCE, Representative Henry Cabot Lodge, one of Mr. Reed’s most energetic lieutenants, had a lengthy interview with Mr. McKinley this morning, but no one knows, except the two, what took place. Itmay have been that they talked over caucus details. SHAKING HANDS ALL AROUND. In a mere matter of shaking hands all around and making himself agreeable Mr. Cannon is not going to allow himself to be outdone by a caustic fellow like Reed of Maine. On the day of his arrival and once or twice since Mr. Reed has been at the Capitol and has done consid- erable hand shaking. This morning Mr. Cannon was on hand and went the round of hand shaking with a warmth that challenged rivalry. It is likely that the result will be as much in doubt at the time of the caucus meeting. No- vember 30, as it is today, As are the friends of McKinley so are the friends of Burrows, Hen- derson and Cannon working with all their might. It is safe to say that no candidate sees his way to election today and the Supreme Court makes them all hopeful. M'KINLEY’S FRIENDS ACTIVE, Representative McKinley had a busy day to- day. Callers at his headquarters were numer- ous and nearly all of them enthusiastic. Those who were quiet or lukewarm are the men who have not yet pledged themselves and who form the uncertain quantity which none of the can- didates can calculate upon, There are quite a number of these “floaters” in the city, but all of them are not engaged in trying to size up the winner 8o that they may follow him; many are really puzzled as to whose banner they really ought to fight under, and they will not’ decide until some energetic canvassers get hold of them and show them the only straight and narrow path in which to tread. The support which is coming to Major McKinley is not sectional. although of course Ohio is pretty solid for him. Today's visitors were from all parts of the Union, and they evi- dently brought good tid ugs, for the major was more than ordinarily pleased in his appearance, Among the later callers were Representative Buchanan of New Jersey and Representative Dunnell of Minnesota. The latter gentleman had but little to say of the speakership, but he left it to be inferred that not only he but all the others from Minnesota would vote for the Ohio man, The Minnesotans wiil arrive here tomorrow. and as soon as possible thereafter will hold a caucus to decide on their candidate and the character of the support they will give ——— A TALK WITH PROF. LANGSTON. He fs Sure of Getting His Seat in the House—On the Fence as to the Fair. Prof, Langston dropped into the District buildings today to shake hands with the Com- missioners, In answer to a Stan reporter's question, “How about Virginia?” he said that Virginia was all right; that the state was, if the elections were honest, surely republican, Vir- ginia republicans, he said, were as liable to make mistakes in their nominations as those of Ohio or any other state. “I have the grent- est confidence,” continued Mr. Langston, “in Virginia giving a definite republican majority at the next election.” In regard to his contest for a seat in the coming House Mr, Langston said he was as- sured of success, He had the right on his side, and especially in view of the recent elec- tions he thought the house could not fail to do him justice. Mr. Langston said New York, Chicago and Washington wete all splendid sites for the world’s fair and that he did not want to make any statement as to which he was in favor of until he was securely seated in the House of Representatives, In regard to the recent movement of the col- ored race Mr, Langston said he was in favor of any movement of the race that would afford them their just protection and rights in the civil courts and at the poils in this country. wn.

It was said that the Secretary had of the college. About sixty members were Present. The rooms were handsomely draped with bunting and there was an abundance of choice flowers.

This afternoon at 4 o'clock the dedication of Secretary Noble left his office rather early to- | the college will take place and a handsome day in order to attend a meeting of the zoo-| statue of Blessed John Baptist De La logical park commission before the cabinet meeting. While he was getting ready to go he talked to 8 Stax man about these rumors and said smilingly that be had no imtention of mak- ing removals in such wholesale style. He in- tended to take action with deliberation and as he made progress with the disposition of these cases he would let the public know. He had nothing to conceal. As noted in yesterday's Star the resignation of Henry A. Phillips, chief of division, whose pension was rerated from $6 to $24, wascalied for. The resignation had not been received this morning at the Interior department. TWO MORE RESIGNATIONS CALLED FOR. Today the resignations of J. E. Engle of Pennsylvania, assistant chief of the record di- vision, and that of Geo. J. Bond of Pennsylva- nia, clerk inthe western division, were called for. The two latter had their pensions rerated prior to the time covered by the report of the commissioner and their names do not appear in the lis It was stated at the pension office today that the monthly payments of pensions to these men had been stopped in order to re- imburse the government for the money that was paid to them under the reratings. The friends of both have interceded in their behalf and persona! appeals have been made and will be made to Secretary Noble to suspend the ut- most rigor of the utence and allow them to retain their positions, but it is said that the Secretary will allow no appeals to turn him from the line of his duty azks conssives th THEY MUST ALL GO, His policy in regard to the disposition of these is cases firmly fixed and itissnidthatevery man employed in the pension office whose pen- sion has been rerated out of the regular course is marked for dismissal, This is said to be as fixed and unalterable as if the dismissals had those cases where the men step up and refund the money which they have received on ac- count of the rerating. It is said. however, that even this course will not save their official heads unless there are other mitigating circum- stances, A NEW FACE AND & VACANT CHAIR, Today the new assistant chief clerk of the pension office, Green B. Raum, jr., assumed the duties of his new position, The chair on the opposite side of the desk, which has been occupied by Win. 8. Brock of this city, was vacant. Mr. Brock’s resignation was called for last evening by Commissioner Raum. At the time of his dismissal Mr. Brock heid a clerkshi of 21,800. He was chief clerk of the office under Gen. Black and had been promoted to that place from a clerical position, Mr. Brock was the son of the late Major Brock, at one time chief of police in this city. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. EXONERATED.

Jackson, who keeps a book store at 1903 Pennsylvania avenue, was arraignd in the Police Court this afternoon on a charge of rape, the prosecuting witness being Eva Grady, fourteen-year-old colored girl living at No. 2111 N street. Gen. Carrington appeared for the defendant and stated that bis client denied all knowledge of any assault, The defendant, he said, wass man of excellent character, a gallant officer in the Union army and was severely wounded at Vicksburg. _Mr. Armes said that he ordered a warrant different from the one issued, it being his in- tentiou to charge Jackson with having carnal knowledge of a girl under sixteen years. Judge Miller heard the girl's story and gested that the warrant had better be change: as intimated by the prosecuting attorney. Gen. Carrington wanted to make a defense to the charge, but the judge said that this being only a preliminary examination he could not go into a trial of the case, The defendant denied that he even touched the girl, John Maguire testified as to the good char- acter of the defendant.
