NINE ANOTHER CRONIN SENSATION | Cronin's Pccket Knives Found in Coughlin's Pockets. POLICEMAN FLYNN'S STORY. T. T. Conklin Identifics the Catlery in Conrt—The x=Detective Unable to Control His Terror Dure mg the Dis Sur-Iebuttal Testimony. Cmicaco, Nov. 20.—At the opening of the Cronin trial this morning the state called Bernard F. Carberry in rebuttal. He testi- fled that he was in Mat Dananay’s saloon at the corner of Clark street and Chicago ave- nue on the night of May 4, and he did not sece Defendant Burke there, as testified to on be- half of the defense, At the conclusiion of the examination of this witness, sur-rebuttil on behalf of the defendants was begun. A number of wit- nesses were called to the stand to strengthen the alibi for Burke on the night of May 4. M. J. Dwyer, John Fleming and Pat Rouss C. F. Rogan, William Fortune and Walker iibbons, all testified in the same strain. Lhe last\itness, a nephew of Peter Fortune, the brewer, was 8o drunk he could hardly give intellizent answers to the questions. Ho was followed by Walker Fleming, who substantiated the testimony of the other wit- nesses. A recess was then taken, artling Evidence. Cn10a6o, Nov. 20.—A local nows bureau has o new sensation iu the Cronin case. De- tective Flynn, who Yocked Dan Coughlin up at the time of his arrest, informed Chief Hubbard today, as if ho had just thought of 1t, that Coughlin gave him two kuives on thav occasion which ut Coughlin’s request he locked up 1n the safety vault. These knives were secured today and taken to one ot Dr. Cronin’s intimate friends, who identified them us the dead doctor's property. At the afternoon session a number of keepers and frequeaters of saloons were examined in regard to the opening of a cer- tain saloon on the night of the murder. Then the defense rested and State Attorney Longenccker said: “1€ the court please, we have some evi- dence that bhas come to our knowledge ukout 9 o'clock or a little before 10, which we have not bad time to look into. Of courso it would bo evidence in chief, probably, hut not huving come to our knowledye until this morning we feel like usking the court to let us introduce the evidence at this lute hour.” Comrt—By how muny witnesses do you ex- pect that evidence in? Stute's Attorney—By two really, and one ‘who has had castody of the articles. Forrest—We object to & reopening of the case ut the end of the resurrebuttal. State Attorney—I suppose tho court has the right at this time to let it come in under its aiscretion. : ‘Lhe court then called the state attorney 1o a private consultation, at the close of which Judge McConnell 'said: “I take it that the evidence which the state suggests should go into the case. I have considered whether to admit it and bave decided to do 80. 1 do not think it will delay the apening of the case to the jury.’ Police Oficer Bartholemew Flynn was then called to the stund and in response to questions testified as follows “When Daniel Coughlin was arrested I was ordered by Licutenant Elliott to tuke nim to the Hurrson strect station, which I did. When we gou there I searched him in Captain Burtram's office. These two knives ‘Which I have in my hand I found in his pos- gcssion. 1 took the knives und a revoiver from Coughlim, and took them back to head- quarters; went up stairs to Lientenant Kli- ott's office aud then took them down to my box at headquarters and locked them up. They were there until September 16 or 17, when I took them over te the Fidelity vauit where they have since remuined.. Last night T called tho attention of Captain Schuettier to them and took them to him. I did notdis- close the fact that 1 had them to any one prosccuting the case. Ex-Captain Bartram knew I had the knivds, but up to Mst night I :,’IM nn‘g call the uttention of any oue else o o 1lis closed the direct examination and Forrest moved to excluae the evidenco on the ground that the knives had been in the possession of the state ever since Coughlin’s arrest. ‘Lhemotion was overruled, On cross examwination witness said he did nottell the chict of polico about the knives because 1t did not occur to him that it was a matter of any consequence. Witness asked the assistant state attorney for permission to put thom in u safe, but was told he bad bet- ter take carc of them himself as he was per- sonally responsible for them. T, T, Conklin, with whom Cronin lived, was then called to the stand, He identified the knives us having been carrtd by Dr. Cronin when alive. The smailer oue the witness had himself carried for two years andihe then gave it to Dr, Cronin. The larger one tne witness said he had found in the street, If they were not Croniun's knives they looked exactly like them, ‘I'ne witness saw Dr. Cronin use a_kmfo like the smaller one within a week before he was taken away, and probably within two or three weeks before he saw him bave the otner one 8t @ table whero he was writing, sharpening @ pencil, Ihe knives were then admitted in evideuce, 1t would be impossible to depiot the ap- pearance of Coughlin when Flynn was called and tuis damning evidence latroauced in the court. His faco assumed a deadly pallor ana for fully five minutes his eyes were tixed in one unwavering staro upon the ceiling above. Foronly a minute did the direction of his vision change. Asthe knives wero laced in the hands of Mr, Conklin he cast a urried glance at them und as Coaklin swore to their exact resemblance to the murdered mau’s propertv Coughlin’s lip trembled and his impenetrable steel gray eyes chuuged to # huggard, bunted stare bespeaking all the desperation and despair of the heart thut throbbed wildly beneath his breast. Two more witnesses were then ex- amined as to matters connected with the suloon opening on tho nighy of Muy 4. This endea and the state attorney began uis ad- dress to the jury. Mr. Longenecker announced to the jury that he will contine nimself to a review pf the evidence in the case, leaving the argu- ments and speeches to his associates. He said: *‘Ihe state does not wish that the risoners shall be guessed guilty, does not Hosiro that they bo couvicted upon auything doubtful. We do not desire that thoy be convicled upon anything except the law and the evidence in the case, but it you, having heard all of it, believe thut the law'and the evidence justifies you in sayivg that they are guilty, “then ‘we do ' demand that your verdict shall be in accordance With the law and tho evidenee, and nu\hmfi short of a truthful verdict under the law an the evidence will meot the demands in the ease, whether it be o acquit or conviek With thut verdict the people wmust be cop- tent. ‘The state coutends that the murder of Dr. Cronin was brought about by & con- spiracy, We claim it was concocted and executed, and that theso men on triul are parties 10 the conspiracy, together with others not on trial, “Lhat is our position. We further claim it was a cold-blooded con- spiracy, a conspiracy without parallel, coolly and deliborately planned, o couspiracy most terrivlo in its effects. 1f this is & conspiracy, #8 we contend, then 1 has been planned for weeks aud weeks before its exe- eution, and if that be true you must notice _theliue of evidence in the cuse in order to come Lo a correct conelusion,” ‘I o state attornoy then began with the discussions in the Clan na-Gael ana the ap- intment of the committee Lo try the execu- ve, of which committes Dr. Cronin was & member, ‘Then beginning with the testi- mony of the secretary of Camp 20 the state lcmrnyhrevte'ud in narrative form at great length the evidence o1 the withesses as to the row in Camp 20 over the premature reading of the Buffalo minority report in Cronin's camp and the reference of the matter by Heggs to Speliman. He stated that at that camp meeting on the might of February § was the time _when the conspiracy began, He then coutinued his reviow of the evidence regarding the Beggs- Speliman_correspondence, ete., and cawo down to the meeting of Camp 20 on February 29, when Patrick McGarry made charges and Beggs smd that he thanked God that Alexander Sullivan had friends and that he (Heggs) was one of them. At this point the court adjourned. - RECEPTION 10 GOV. GORDON, Awsist in Booming Chicago For the World's Fair. Criosao, Nov, 20.— [Special Telegram to Te Bre.|— The visit of ex-Governor Gor- don of Georgia o Chicago is to be made the occasion of n grand boom for Chicago as the location for the world’s fair. The various committees which have been appointed to receivo and otherwise do honor to the south- ern leader already number nearly one thou- sand in their membership, and it is expected the ovation to be tendered General, Gordon will be accepted by the soutnern politicians as an cvidence of the fraternal fee ing entertamed by Chicago people toward the ex-confederate south. One thousand in- vitations alone have been issued by a com- mittec of ladies, including the wives of the most prominent citizens of Chicago, for the reception to be given Mrs. Gordon, wifo of the ex-governor, to be given at tie Grand Paciflc botel next Monday. A reception will be teudered ex-Governor Gordan by the 1 quois club tomorrow night aad his uddro on the rebellion will follow. 1t is to be pub- lished in full by the daily papers and by agrecm.nt is to be cordially commented upon by tho entire press of the state. Four weeks ngo the Chicago world's fair committee 1ssued the maudate to the city press that hereafter no unfavorable omments myat be made ou the so-called ‘southern outrages,” and the frautio eforts of the loyal republican press to abst in from the force of habit have veen quite laughable. o tneir credit, however, it must bo said that during that period not a word has been pub- lished against which the most chivalrous ex- ponent of auti-bellum principles could take ption, Indecd, their hitherto eaustic comments upou the Kentucky, Virgiuia and South Carolina feuds have sunic to the of fraternal admonition and vespeak rathtr the well wishios of the missionary man _und brother than the huughty railings of tho northern republican editor’ to unregenerate southera barbarians, e 3 LOSS T He Wil HOSTON N MILLIONS, Fred L.

Four of the Five Republics Ready For Federation. COSTA RICA POLITICIANS KICK, The People Favor the S8cheme, How- ever—itesd Conceded the Spiaks ership —Qnay’s Dictato- rial Methods, 513 FOURTEENTIE STREET, Wasmisaroyn, D. C., Nov, 20, The delegates from Central America to the international Awerican conference are r ceiving very interosting and important ad- vices from their home governments concerns ing the succnss of the movement to reunite the five republic Ou the 15th of last September there assem- bled at San Salvador adiet or conference, composed of tive delogates from each of the republics, who agreed upon & basis of union which has since been approved by the gov- crnments of Guatemala, Honduras, San Sal- vador und Nicaragua, and is now the bone of contention in the little republic of Costa Rica. The president of Costa Rica, M. De- Sota, approved the protocol of the conven- tion, butarevolution was immediately raised against him by the leaders of the opposition party, and he was compelled to abdicate the presidency temporarily and permit his vice president to take his scar. It is believed, however, that when the people of Costa Kica understand the situation and the ciwcum- staaces under which the union is to be uc- complished that they will approve 1t and join the new confederacy, although the opposition is very active and determined, * "The plan of union, which has been undor discussion in the several republies for many yeurs, is a popular one awong the veople and tho only obstucle to carrying it out is the jealousy that exists among the local leaders, who,to use & homely phrase, would rather be large toads in small puddles than small toads in large puddles. Under the plan of the union as adopted the vresidents of the five republics are to meet at some convenient point on or before Sep- tember 1, next, and there cast lots tode- termin ¢ which shall exercise authority over the tive republics. The one who is so selected shall occuvy the chair of chief for one year to be succeeded 1 tarn by the presidents of the other republics, also chosen by lot. In the meantime each of the presidents is to ex- ercise local autbority in bis own country like the governor of a state, and each country will maintain its own congress as the legis- latures of our states are maintained, ‘There is to be an annual meeting of the general congress or conference with dele- gates from ail of the five republics which shull consider measures for the welfare of all and take steps to complete the organiza- tion of the confederacy by the preparation of a constitution which is to be submitted for the approval of the people, THE GENTLEMAN FROM MAINE. Although some encouragement was given the westera candidates by the conference of the Pennsylvana delegation tuis afternoon, it is couceded tonight thut Mr. Reed will be clected epeaker and probebly on the first ballot. It was believed by the Reed people that the unit rule wouid apply inthe Penusyl- vauia delegation und that ninetcen votes would be cast for thewr candidate, 80 they were disappointed when five of the Keystono members broke away to McKinley and fourteen only remained for the Maine man, With a solid New Englaud, New Jersey and New York, 14 members from Pennsyivania, 1 from Iudiana, 2 from Wisconsin, 2 from Minaesota, 1 from Missouri, 2 from Kansas, 2 from California and 1 each from Dakota, Montana and Washington, Mr, Reed hus al- ready for the first bulloi 69 votes, 1f the ©Gaucus which meets at noon tomorrow should be fuli 81 votes will be required to make & selection, but it 18 probably that there wiil be a dozen or more absentees und that votes will nominate. 1f it snould be aiscov- d thut Mr. Reed falis short of the unomi- nation on tne first ballou by only eight or ten votes his friends to-night suy: ~ *“There will be a rush to et on the band wagon, and be- fore the vote is announced the gentleman from Maine will be nominated.” DICTATOR QUAY, Major John M. Carson, the correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, who is one of the oldest, best known und’ most influential newspaper menin Washington, aud has w national reputation as a writer on financial topics, became candidate for clerk of the house at the solicitation of Judge Kelly uand some of the older members and at the ad- Jjournment of the last congress had pledges Trom all but one or two uf the Pennsylvania representatives that they would give him their votes. A majority of those gentleman, however, at the dictation of Seuutor Quay at the Penusylvauia caucus today, will violate these pledges and . support another candidate whom ne happens to favor. In speaking of this tonight Major Carson said: *1 unticipated tiis outcome. It can be ex- plaiued in a few words, ‘The interference of Senator Quay has passed beyond the arbi- trary manugement of the town caucuses vo the arbitrary manugement of the cougress of tue United States, 1 had the best of reasous for believing what a large majority of the Pennsylvania delegation wouid be with me, Messrs, Darlinglon, Yurdley and Scranton informed we persoualiy that they would sup- port me and Watson gave u like pledeo to a mutual friend. These four gentlewen, at the dictation of Senator Quay, voted for m; competitor, Geaneral Bingham of rhiladel- phia .did not at any liwe say to mo that I would have his = support, but some of his most Inliwate friends bad pledged that he would support me. Two weoks ago I had a tulk with Mr. Quay m his committee room, I then informed him that I had not consulted bim or Mr, Cameron about the clerksiip ve- cause L thought it was u mutter which did not concern them; that the interference of senators with house organization would be unwise and unpolitic, and 80 believing I had not come to him to soliciv aid. Quay assured we that he shared my veliel as (o senatorial interference, and declared that he had no purpose 10 tuke any part in the con- Lest. He admitted that nis sympu- thies were with my opponent and kuowiog the man 1 expressed the fear thav is “'sympathies” would lead him to solicit votes for nim, But ho renewed the assur- auce that he would take no part in the con- test. I have reason o belicve that prior to this interview Mr. Quay’s “sympathies’ had materialized into uction, Iam creditably in- formed that he has sent for members und re- quested them 1o vole against me. Lu one in- stance when a member replied that he had promised to support me und ivtended to do 50, Quay rephied, ‘Well, perhups you are strong enough in your district to be independent’ In another case to add force w nis demand for a vote wgaiust we, He said: ‘Carson represeots noone but @ lot of d—-d, irresponsible newspaper men without inflieuce or resi- deuce outsiae the District of Columbia.’ “How do you account for the opposition of Geperal Bingham, one of the represcnta- tives from your own city 1" * bave no explabation other than that filvvn by Biughain himself, iwo duys ago @ informed me that & deal had been fixea up; that it was lteed and McPherson; that he would have to vote for, Mci’berson, and that ull the Reed mon Wwould be agaiust me. “Does this action of the Penuvsylvauia members take you out of the contesti’? *Not necessarily. 1 think wy name will be presented to the republican caucus to- wmorrow, 1uma candidate for cierk against this pernicious and corrupt systew of boss rule represented by Mr. Quay.

Tostmaster General Wanamaker's annual report, advance copies of which were give to the pross tonizht, will convinee the public that it has at the head of its postal se man of unrivdlled bumness capacity manoer in which Mr. Wanamaker business propositions I8 inclined to inspiro the greatest confidence 1 his capacity. It will be a disappoiutment to mauy that he ro fuses to recommend the establishment of a parcel post. T'he people have minced under tho burden of high rates for thoe transmission of small oxpress packagés till they have come to pray that the government would en- largn upon the weight of packages which it as fourth class matter and enter express business on ¢ small scale ns Greut Britam, Frauce and many othoer countriea with advanced governmontal ser- vice. Mr. Wanamaker thinks that there is not sufficient room in the postofiice buildines throughout the country to warrant the es- tablishment of a parcel post. The calling of attention at this time to the crowded condition of tho postofiices em- phasizes the importance af adopting Seuator Paddock’s bill making appropriation for the construction of buildings for second class postoftices, wherein room for the parcel post business can be provided: “The christian people of the country who believe in the enforcement of a Sunday law aud the oobservance of the first day in the week for worsuip and rest, will be glad to read jo Mr. Wanamaker's report that the patronage of the postofiices on Sunday has caused bim to think that the expenditure of the money and labor is not warranted by the benefits derived. He suggests that the right way to begin retrencament in this direction i8 10 stop the running of postal cars on the Sabbath. His recommendation that the minimum of annual receipts which will entitle small cities to receive the free delivery ser- vice shall be reduced from $10,000 to $7,000 will be hailed with great delight by many small citios throughout the country. Mr. Wanamaker thinks that it will be much bet- ter to extend the accommodations now eiven the peoplo by improving the service and es- tablishing free deliveries in small cities than to reduce letter postage from 2 cents to 1 cent, although he concedes that 1 cent pos- tage'is sure to come within a short time. He simply belioves that better postal facilities are of greater importance than cheaper letter rates. The report throughont is a stroug one and shows the ability of the postmaster general to grasp the practical subjects with which he bas to deal DAKOTANS' THANKSGIVING DINNER. The Dakotans in Washiugton, to the num- Der of fifteen, assembled at the Nutional hotel and partook of a Thanksgiving dinner. Judge John H Drake presided.

It was the first Thanksgiving that the Dakotans have had an opportunity to observs as full fledged Amer- ican citizens, and those here could not allow the opportunity to be thankful and feast to pass unobserved. Genuine Tegret was ex- pressed by all present at the abseuce of that typical Dakota —rustler, Sen- ator Pettigrew, who did not arrive until late last evening, ‘Ihere are more anxious imquirics for him than for all the other representatives of the Dakotas, and well they may be, forwhen he taks nold something has to comg. Senator Pettl grew has done more for Dukota at home aud abroad than any man in thearountey. Among the lute arrivils tirom South Da- kota is 5. W. Caldwell, editor of the Sioux Falls Press.

Congressman Connell today called at the office of the supervising architect of the treasury and explained several things about the abstract of the award for the land em- braced in the Planters' house (block 0) site which before were sumewhat difficult to un- derstand. The result of this explanation convinces the department that the awards come within the Jimit of the appropriation, and consequently it will mot be necessary to call upon the bondsmen to make good any shortage. ‘I'he awards will bo paid at once and the government will proceed to acquire title to the site, THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
