The State in Rebuttal Makes Several Cu1cae0, Nov. 26.—The first witness called in the Cronin case this morning was Bailey Deweon, well known politician, In reply to Judge Longenecker's question Mr. Dawson tes- tified that on the night of May 4 he was in the Emergency hospital on the North Side. He was also there on May 5. Witness remembered meeting Mr. Beggs at the Grand Pacific hotel, when he and Be, were introduced to Col. crewing of ie Eee e ol li and on creat a ‘venention, as it directly contradicts the testimony of Francis Gleason, who swore that he introduced Beggs to Mr. Dawson and Col, Babcock on the night of May 4at the Grand Pacific hotel. Defendant hog = looked very sick this mor: and said he felt badly. ‘Iam dizzy and I feel very bad,” he said in reply to an inquiry. Col. Bal :k was sworn and testified that he met John F. Beggs for the first time on May 11. He also testified that he called on Mr. Dawson at the Emerg hospital on May 5. Nieman, the saloon r, was then called. He said he had been introduced to James Hy- land, and swore that to the best of his belief James Hyland was not the tall man who came into his place Saturday night, May 4, nor Sun- day night, May 5, as O'Sullivan claims. THE ARGUMENTS, If the state closes tonight in the Cronin case it is likely that Judge Longenecker will ask for an adjournment until Friday morning to enable him to read evidenee. The testimony makes 8,300 type-written pages. Hynes will follow Longenecker and Ingham and Mills will close. Judge Wing will open for the defense and For- rest will close.

Naw York, Nov. 26.—The stock market this morning showed very little change from that of last evening, being dull for the general list, with the exception of St. Paul, New England, Atchison and Ontario and Western,and while the tendency was to advance in the early trading the slight improvement then made was after- ward generally lost. First prices were but slightly changed from those of last night and the subsequent fluctuations were on « limited scale, the only marked downward movement being 9% in sugar, while Tennessee coal was the strong feature, rising from 783¢ to 80. Toward the close of the hour a better tone prevailed in the market and New England and Wisconsin Central led a fractional u; ‘d movement, gentwcs th FOREIGN AFFAIRS. A FRENCH STRIKE.

Reed Has All the New York Delega- tion Except One. ‘BE ALSO HAS SIXTEEN PENKEYLVANIA MEMBERS— ‘THE OPPOSITION TRYING TO WITHDRAW HIB WESTERN SUPPORT—MCKINLEY'S ENTHUSLASTIC FRIENDS—TEB OTHER CANDIDATES. and then another and making a lark of it. Some of the active supporters of certain candidates were making much pledges of su; to all the other candidate: Ge eaying that they were sorry but they wor all former of sup- | aor by dag seemed to be feeling jay and —- spirit was warmed by the sunshine. A number of the New York and Pennsylvania members and some of the Ohioans were around making calls and a: ing up the feeling of good fellowship in the contest. THE FIGHT OX REED is being directed chiefly now to his western strength, and it is said that his six or seven western supporters are beginning to feel lonely. Every influence known to such a canvass is be- ing used to take every western vote from the Maine champion. Some members who have come in within, a day or two and will not say who they are for are making an active canvass against Reed, As the New York men comein the evidence becomes stronger that Reed will hold the delegation solidly. Mr. Sherman and Mr. Belden are here and were making the rounds of the headquarters, They say that the dele- gation is ununimous in its choice and it don't make any difference whether the unit rule is adopted;.or not, Mr. Belden, when asked by a Star reporter when they would hold a caucus, replied that he did not know, but that he did not think o caucus was necessary, unless the eighteen other members wanted to consider whether or not they would all go over to Mr. Flood, THE ONLY NEW YORKER WHO IS NOT A REED MAN. It is said today that Mr. Flood is the only member of the New York delegation who will not vote for Mr. Reed, Mr. Buker, who has been régarded as opposed to Reed. has tele- graphed that he will vote with the delegation. Some of the opponents to Mr. Reed will now concede to him fifteen votes in Pennsylvania and the same number in New York. A conservative estimate is that he has sixteen in Pennsylvania and eighteer in New York. Most of his opponents will grant that the Maine man can get sixty-five votes, but they insist that he cannot by any possibility getmore. The influences that are brought to solidify the east for him, they say, are stiffen- ing the backs of the western members and that every day the west is getting closer together. MR. M'KINLEY'S FRIENDS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC in their claims for their candidate. They say that Reed can not possibly get more than seven western votes and that it is hardly possible that that number will stick to him until Saturday against all the pressure that is being brought to bear on them, They assert that they are claiming no votes that are not pledged to their candidate and then they reason that when a break comes and the west- ern men are going eastward and the eastern men westward they must meet somewhere in Ohio, They can’t see anything but McKanley’s election in the situation. They agree that Reed may have fifteen or sixteen of the Penn- sylvania votes ahd claim that McKinley will hold the rest, ’ KEEPING QUIET AND WORKING HARD, Cannon end Burrows and Henderson are keeping very quiet and working hard. It is known that Henderson has positively pledged to him more votes than he or his friends claim, and some very “long-headed” observers de- clare that the contest LIES BETWEEN REED AND HENDERSON. Henderson’s friends won't say this. They make no sort of claims, but work, work, work with a steady determination, If Reed does not succeed in breaking into the west a great many people believe “away down in their boots” that Henderson will draw votes from every quarter. Some of Mr. Reed's friends are credited with wanting, above all things, to defeat McKinley. These men, it is asserted, will throw their votes and inflyence to Hender- son or Cannon if they see that Reed runs agiinsta stone wall before he reaches the necesgary votes to nominate him. Many men who have no interest in the fight are keep- img an eye on the Iowa man. Some who are claiming everything for Reed say that if he is not elected Henderson will be. Meanwhile Henderson's friends are working and saying nothing. CANNON AND BURROWS are following the secretive tactics also and keeping their hopes up to @ high register. Their friends are gathered about them and are working earnestly, Reed undoubtedly has a big lead of them all on the start, and the result depends upon whether or not the other four candidates can hold their forces ballots. The failure of one candi- date to do this might elect Reed atonce, Each claims that he can hold his men. If none of them are mistaken in this they can defeat the Maine champion. He may met almoatin reach of the prize and yet not get it; but this will take remrakable firm- uvss on the part of the supporters of other candidates. If there were any cer- tainty who would be elected if Reed were not there would be not the same reason for the sapporters of the other candidates; but together for several ; tio appearance that the four men of the w st have an equal chance of success in the | event of Reed’s defeat tends to hold the forces together. It is said by some of Mr. Reed's frends that if it became evident that the de- feat of Mr. Reed meant the election of McKin- ley many western votes would go over to Reed at once, ‘MR. PERKINS HAS NOT SWAPPED HORSES. It was said in a morning paper that Mr. Per- kins of Kansas, who has been counted a Reed man, had gone over to Cannon. Mr. Perkins told a Stak reporter today that this was not so. He said he was for Mr. Reed and expected to see him elected. He said he thought Reed would have considerable strength in the west. “How will the vote of Kansas go?” he was asked. “It is uncertain yet. It may be three for Reed and four for Cannon, or the reverse— three for Cannon and four for Reed.” It was reported this morning that Judge Kelley had written to Mr. Reed stating that he would vote for him. Mr. McKinley's friends say they have information which contradicts this. THE SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN‘ MEMDERS expect to meet tonight to decide upon the course they will follow. A strong effort will be made to capture them for Reed, but the other candidates are confident this cannot be done, Mr. McKinley got a present of # little stee horse shoe today from a prominent steel manu Helga in Pennsylvania asa talisman of good jue! LUCKY Rooms, People who are superstitious enough to be- lieve in “luck” and who are acquainted with the speakership situation will probably bet evenly on the success of either Representative Cannon or cst “poomangeecl D. B. Henderson. Those two gentlemen are both member: of the appropriations committee and when saturday comes they will, with the other candi move their h juarters to the House end of the Capitol, and, from certain committee rooms, will conduct their respective campaigns until the caucus commences business.
