Special to Tun Br.R.l The fifteen op
liortimlst and radical Journals which criti
cised and protested against the declarations
of Leon Say have with ns much energy
Applauded nnd approved the discourse an
nounced by Rlbot on Sunday at Saint Omen ,
Leon Say had declared himself In favor of o
resolute moderate policy , which , accordlnc
to his Idea , would boot such a nature as n
rally of n certain number of conservative
members of therieht. . IIo declared himself
nn adversary of any further concessions tc
radicalism , but lie did not glvo as hit
opinion that the wisdom of the
radicals must not bo counted unon to sus
tain n modcrato cabinet. Rlbot , on the con
trary , was In favor of republican concon
trotion. Ho rejected the Idea of any conces
sion to the right , especially in concentration ,
with scholastic and military laws. He
states that the future cabinet must rolj
upon a united republican majority , and he
expressed confidence that the radicals woulO
temporarily renounce- the political portion ol
their reforms and give adhesion to a1 busi
ness nrogrummo upon which nil the republi
cans could nfcrf'O.
Rtbot's speech is an exact expression ol
the Idea which actually dominates the op
portunitit party. This party desires t (
continue the policy of concentration that li
to say , the policy of the old chamber. Hi
only hopes that the radicals , whose numbo
will bo diminished , will bo lobs exigent that
in times gone by ; that they will make the
llfo of mlnlstorics somewhat less hard , and
that they will no longer unite with the rish
In order to overthrow successively al
cabinets.
This hope In the conversion of the radical
to a modcrato policy has always ucon tin
chimera of the opportunists , and all tin
faults committed have not had any othc
origin. Another trial will probably bo madi
of-thls same policy. It is to bo doublet
whether UiboJ , if ho forms part of the next
ministerial combination , will succeed bottc
In his attempt than Jules Ferry or Do Frey
cinot. The Into elections were very slgnlll-
cant demonstrations In favor of a moderate
nnd conservative policy. The question i
whether a cabinet composed of moderate
oven would bo able to follow a conservutivi
policy nnd seek fuvors of the Barodet. Cle

KINGSTON , Out. , Oct. U. [ Special Tele
gram to Tun BEE. ] The steamer Qulnto
was burned to the water's edge last night
nciff Desoronto. Flvo lives wore lost nnd
probably more. The following is u list of
those known !
Captain Christie.
Mrs. Christie , mother of tno captain.
Cyrus Christie , the captain's son.
John Christie , the captain's brother.
A lady's maid.
The origin of the flro is unknown. The
boat was owned by the Rathburn company
and M n total loss. The details ot tbo dis
aster show that the flro originated in the
Vglno room. The engineer managed to
Imb out of the engine room , though not
otll ho had been severely burned. The
. cscuedinan is unnblo to taut. It is supposed
hat Captain Christie nnd his brother were
) urned to death while trying to save tholr
mother , who was nn Invalid , and the lady's
maid and boy. Although It was early ,
mrdly later than 0 o'clock , the mother ,
ady's maid nnd boy had retired for the
night , it is thought. The steamer was
burned nbmjt three miles from Doseronto ,
she being on her way to Pleton nt the time.
It Is now feared nne-ther man will have to
bo added to the list of these burned , us n
man mimed George Robinson , of Pleton ,
Ontario , was to tnko the boat for that place ,
nnd nothing can bo learned of him. The
injured number eight , of whom some are
terribly burned.

sion nt the close of Blggur's speech , nnd was
followed by counsel for tlio London Times.
Michael Duvltt , in his speech , deelnred
that although no longer n Fonlnn , if the
condition of Ireland was the same ns it was
twenty-five yours ago , ho would bo a Fenian
again. Some of the aims of the Fenians , he
said , had been fulfilled already. The land
league , based on the same patriotic spirit ,
was fast removing the barriers which pre
vented Great Britain from giving Justice to
Ireland. No agency , ho declared , nad done
nloro to keep alive the national antipathy ol
the Irish in America than the brutal lan
guage made use of by the London Times
with regard to the extermination of the
people of Ireland resulting from the great
famine.
Davitt said ho had not endorsed Ford's '
d.vnatnatic views and ho bellevod thut hohai
converted Ford to constitutional methods ,
Ho denied the Times' allegation thut ho hut
sturtoit the league with money subscribed
In America for purposes of crimp nnd out
rage. Ho road letters from Germans , from
Frenchmen , Americana and Englishmen en

the fight on the land question.

The Crania Case Bncun.
CnicAao , Oct. 24. Long before the hour
tor the convening of court in the Crontn
trial this morning- hundred ! of spectators
were clamoring for admittance , and It re
quired a small army of bailiffs to keep at bay
.ho eager ones who demanded to bo passed ,
Promptly at 10 o'clock the two hundred
spectators assembled In .ludeo McConncll'a
court were rapped to order , and as the de
fendants filed in and the attorneys took tholi
scats the clerk called the roll of Jurors ,
Every man responded to his name aud the
Cronln trial formally begun.
State Attorney Longonccker at once began
tils opening address to the jury. Ho reviewed
briefly the long-continued sifting of venire-
men , which had resulted m the selection oi
ho twelve before him. Ho then dcllnod the
duties of n Jurymau , dellncd the moaning ol
presumption of Innocence as applied In trials
of persons charged with crime , tolling the
Jury that the presumption of innocence was
not u matter to bo weighed against evidence ,
It wus , ho said , a mcro negative which stood
In the way of conviction In the absence ol
evidence , but must not bo allowed to weaken
the force of evidence given ,
LoiiRciieckor next took up and defined the
meaning of a reasonable doubt as applied tc
such cases. On thla ho said : "When you
stated that you would not convict the men
except as thov were proved guilty beyond s
reasonable doubt , you simply .meant this :
That if , after bearing the evidence , you arc
satisfied us men of the truth of the charge ,
If you arc satisllcd ns jurymen sworn to dc
your duty , that the men on trial are guilty ,
then you have no right to go looking around
for doubts. You have no right to hunt
around for an excuse to refrain from doing
that which the law makes It your duty tq do ,
A reasonable doubt 'means a doubt that is
reasonable. "
Forrest , of counsel for the defense , inter
rupted the speaker on this point , claiming
that the definition of a reasonable doubt has
no place in the opening address and should
bo used only in the closing address. The
court overruled the point and Forrest noted
an exception.
The state attorney then proceeded to do ,
flno murder , and set forth what were the
material allegations in the indictment wind :
it would bo necessary for the state to prov
in order to Justify a conviction. They were !
That Dr. Croniu was killed ; that the killing
was done m this state ; that It was done
without adequate provocation , and that the
rhrco defendants did it. The speaker thcc
defined direct and circumstantial evidence ,
Ho thun spoke of the disappearance of Dr
Cronin and the finding of his body eighteen
days afterward , and said that the state pro
posed to prove it a murder as the result of t
conspiracy.
The state attorney then proceeded to speali
on the motive of the crime and said that , u
order to show what the motive was , it became -
came necessary to examine into the history
in this country of the organization known u
the United Brotherhood , commonly eallei !
the Clim-na-Gaul. But before doing this , In
reminded the Jury they were not trying the
Clan-na-Gnel , but the prisoners at the bar
Longonecker then proceeded to sketch a history
. Ho said that the
tory of the ( Jlan-im-Gaol.
triangle was supreme ; that the oaths ol
members mudo their commands superior t <
the laws of the nation.
Forrest objected to this line of statemonl
us inadmissible in advance of proof. Judgi
McConncll said he did not know what would
bo proved , but warned tno state attorney
that ho was making those statements at hi :
own peril.
The state attorney said ho would prov (
what ho had said , and ho accepted the res
ponsibillty. He proceeded to say that vvhor
Sullivan , Feeley and Bolnncl got contro
of the executive board , they changei
the plan of work of tno organiza
tion and Inaugurated n dyuamito
policy and implanted in the constitution t
clause commanding perfect and unquostion
imj obedience to the commands of the board
The defense again prayed for an exceptior
to this line of statement.
The states attorney then went on to saj
that the memberships did not know whc
constituted the triangle so secret was it , but
nevertheless they obeyed the orders anc
were sent on various missions to England in
the way of active work , and under assumed
names. Notwithstanding this secrecy these
men were betrayed by the bodril to the Eug
Hsh authorities , and twenty of them ho sale
arc now In prison. This was , ho declared ,
to enable the board to steal the funds , nnc
when the lust showing was made the boari
claimed that the order owed them 13,0X
when there was 1250,000 in the treasurj
when they took charge. At this point th <
state attorney Introduced lr. Cronln in con
nection with the order , and proceeded to
sketch the history of his flght against the
triangle. Ho told of Cronln's expulsion , thi
subsequent union convention , the trial ol
Sullivan , Feeley and Boland by a score' '
cemmlttno , of which Dr. Cronin was a mcin
bor , in Buffalo a year ago last August Th (
state's attorney wont on to say thut the committee
mitteo was lu session thrco days hearing
evidence which ho stated would bo intro
duced during the trial. Ho declarot
they would show that all thi
denunciation of Dr. Cronin wss soni
out over Alexander Sullivan's signature am
that it was sent out after Dr , Cronln had dls
appeared and in the belief that his bed ;
would novur bo found. It was not sufllcien
to malto away with Dr. Cron'n , but the same
unseen hand that regulated the consplruc ;
from its inception had to imiUo it appear alsi
that Cronln was a traitor.
"If Dr. Cronln had published his evidenci
ngulnst the triangle , as ho was about to do , i
meant the ruin of the triangle with the Irlsl
people , uud to have it published to all the !
camps was to convict thcso men of embez
zling these funds that had boon acoumulatinf
for years. It would have proved then
traitors to the Irish cause , proved thorn no
only to be ouibezzlors.but violators of the law
of two countries , traitors to the cuuso li
which thcso people had enlisted , and instcai
of doing that which was to benefit poor oh
Ireland it woulu brand them the worst met
on earth among the Irish peoplo. That xva
the object. "
The state attorney then wont on to shov
how Coughlin had begun denouncing Cronli
as a spy way back In February , how Becgi
at a certain meeting of Camp ! ! 0 hud said Dr
Cronln's denunciation of Sullivan and tin
triangle had to bo stopped If It took blood.
At the afternoon session Judge Longc
nccker concluded his address. Then all tin
lawyers of the defense waived the right ti
address the Jury , and ox-Captain Vlllors , o
Lake View , was put on the stand to tel
what ho know of the trngpdy.
The state attorney then went on to tel
about the charges inado against Cronin li
Cump 20 and that on the 10th of Fobruur ,
Senior Guardian Beggs wrote to Distrie
Ofllccr ijpollmaii , of Peoria , that ho was dl
rcctca to Investigate ! the matter and wantei
the district ofllccr to do so. Tno latter on th
I7th of February wrote to Bcirgs that hi
know of no law or provision of the constitu
tiou requiring him to investigate ana that b
could not Investigate unless the charge
were made directly to him. BoggI , on th
ISth , wrote back that while there was n
written law for this there was a law , nndth
matter had to be Inventlgatod or there vroul
bo trouble. On the following'day a man gh
Ing the name of Slinonds rented a flat at 11
Clark street , opposite Dr. Cronln's olUcc
bought furniture and a largo trunk an
moved In ,
On the 0th of March Martin Burke nt
peared at the Carlson cottage under th
name of Frank Williams , rented the cottag
and then , after talking w\th \ O'SulHvun.wen
to 117 Clark street and moved the luroltur
to the cottage.
Some tlmo la April O'Sulliyau made ai
ranRcmonts with Cronln by which If the lat
ter received one of O'Sulllvnn's cards ho
was to accompany the mcsscilgor , In order
to attend professionally upfliliahy of O1 Sulli
van's men who might bo hnrt in handling
leo for him. )
The state attorney pointed out that this
seemed a queer contract , for up to this tluio
there never had been nn accident to ono of
O'Sulllvan's men , and there were many
doctors nearer than Cronln , Before that
Daniel Coughlin had declared In n saloon
that there was a ccrtnU north side man , a
loading Catholic , that would soon blto the
dust , or something to that effect , O'Sulllvnn '
was with Coughlin that night.
Liongcncckcr told about Cotighlln's ' ar
rangement with Llvory Stnblokccper DInan
and Halt ) the state would prove that Coughlin
was seen going Into the Carlson cottaga the
night of the murder , and that the horse and
buggy procured at DInan's livery stable was
the rig m which Dr. Cronin was driven to
the Carlson cottage.
"At n meeting of Camp 20 , on the night of
May U , Bonio ono Inquired whether that
secret committee had reported , whereupon
Bcggs said )
" 'That committee 11 to report to mo and
not to the camp.1
'Wo will prove that Coughlin told other
parties that Cronln was a spy ; that a year
before ho tried to hire a man to slug Dr.
Cronln.
"Wo Will provo that O'Sulllvan , was soon
at a certain point on the ulght of May -J ,
showing ho was in the neighborhood uud
was not in his house at the tlmo.
"On the Cth of May Martin Burke had a
box , the contents of which were not seen ,
soldered up by a tinsmith. Where that box
Is or what became of It no ono knows , but it
is an Important circumstance In the case.
"Wo will provo.that Kunzo was soon in the
flat ou Clark street at the time it was occu
pied ; that ho had boon Intimate with Cough-
Hu ; thathannd Coughlin were ut Peoria
together ; that Kunzo stated to a man when
the papers were talking ntjout Cronln'n dls-
nppoaranco that ho ( ICunzo ) know Cronin
was murdered ,
"AfUr the discovery of Cronln's body and
its Identification Martin Burke loft the city
under an assumed uamo add was arrested in
Winnipeg , having in hia possession n ticket
to Liverpool. "
Mr. Lougonecker wont on to say : "Any
ono who looks nt the facts or evidence can
BOO very readily that , the acts committed are
of themselves conclusive1 that they are the
result of a conspiracy. " Ho wont on then at
considerable length to dellno the nature of a
conspiracy and the liability of the accessories.
Ho added that the stuto .would . present ovi-
dcnco as speedily as possible.
The counsel for the defense ona by ono
waived tiolr | right to make each an opening
address , and the taking of testimony began.
The first witness was Francis Villers , ex-
captain of the Lake View police. His testi
mony was unimportant , except us to the one
fact that ho know Dr. Cronin in his lifetime
and that as the body was being convoyed
from the catch basin to tbo morgue ho had
identified it as that of the ! dead doctor.
James F. Bolnnd. cashier in a coal dcslor's
ofilcc , and an associate of Dr. Cronln in vari
ous secret societies , also gave testimony as
to the identity of the body , "and us to the lo
cation of Cronin's ofllco. Lawyer Forrest ,
for the defense , elicited < from Uoland on
cross examination the fact , that contrax-y to
general belief , Cronln's offlpo was so situated
that a view into Us wlndojvVcould not bo ob
tained from the Clark streo flat supposed to
have been hired by the .accused , Cronln's
ofllco not fronting on Clark street , but being
in the rear of the building and facing on the
alloy. ,
Several other witnesses > vpro examined be
fore adjournment , their' tes'timony relating
wholly to the finding and ' the identification
of the corpse. Nothing of importance was
brought out.
W. P. Dunne , who is indirectly connected
with the prosecutiop lu th'Q Cr.pnm trial.said
to-day that efforts had beciTmado and were
to be further pushed "to obtain , if possible ,
from Parnell , or his counsel , Sir Charles
Russell , a categorical statement that Cronin's
name was not ono of the four handed in by
the spy , LoCaron , ns ono of the men who
were systematically betraying to the English
government the secrets of the Irish move
ment in America. Letters to this end have
been written , ono at least , by Dunuo to the
Irish leader , Matt Harris. It is now pro
posed to forward to the other side as for
midably signed a petition as can bo secured ,
demanding the desired Information and tak
ing the cround that if Cronln's name was
not on the list of spies no broach of trust will
bo made by saying so.
Threatened "With Cronln's Fntc.
MINNEAPOLIS , Oct. 24. Ex-Mayor Ames ,
whoso remarks about "priest-ridden Ireland"
on his return from Europe lately , caused
such a revulsion of feeling among his Irish
admirers , has received five different threaten
ing letters signed "Irishman , " "Catholic , "
"Cian-na-Gael. " etc. They warn him that If
ho docs not leave the country ho will suffer
the futo of Dr. Cronin. Ames' friends claim
to know where the letters came from and
promise to make it interesting for the
authors.

THE EPISCOPALIANS.
Tlio Proposed Oanon'on ' Deaconesses
Adopted.
NEW YORK , Oct. 24. In the Episcopal con.
vcntion to-day the proposed canon on deacon
esses was adopted as follows :
"Any unmarried woman of devout character -
actor and proved fitness may bo appointed tc
tboofllcoof deaconess by. any bishop of the
church. "
When tbo report of the committee on the
petition of the colored clergy was taken up a
warm debate ensued. The majority report
was finally adopted.
In tno afternoon Seth Low moved that the

The mugwump nnd democratic- newspapers
of Now York nud Boston , which always
work together like Journals of their two-
headed party invariably do , have been howl
ing themselves hearse this week over what
they claim to bo n "republican restoration of
the fees of the United States consuls for the
verification of Invoices. " They charge
Secretary Blnlno , for the purpose of favor
ing his republican friends , with having ron -
n owed the old practleo of permitting con
suls to appoint notaries publlo from
among the residents of the countries where
the consuls nro located , who oh urge a fco
for verifying the invoices of exporters.
Thcso notaries charge about $1.50 for each
oath administered and it is alleged the con
suls only have to pay them a very small pro
portion of this nmount , the balance of which
goes into the oOlcer's packet.
Your correspondent to-day examined the
records nt the state department und found
that the restoration was on February 3 ,

HAHIIISON IIAIID AT WORK ,
It was almost 13 o'clock to-day before
President Ha rrison got through with the
dictation of his letters and opened the doors
to his private ofllco for the reception of
those who had busln ess with him. Not two
dozen people asked to see him during the
entire day. When half past 13 o'clock ar
rived the d oors were closed and the presi
dent resumed work on his message. IIo has
the greater part of his recommendations
already prepared nnd the review of
the work under him , together
with the statistics which ho will
rccoivo from the reports of his cabinet offi
cers , constitute the principal labor which ho
has yet to perform.
The president has adopted a very good
plan for the preparation of his messuee. Ho
keeps upon his table a scratch tablet , nnd
whenever an idea occurs to him which ho
wants to Incorporate into his message ho
makes n memorandum of it and drops the
sheet into a private drawer. Ho has received
a great many ideas by his frequent talks
with publlo and private citizens and ns
soon ns a practical suggestion
is made ho stops his conversation or work
long enough to get down a reminder. Thus
ho has n great number of thcso little sheets
of scratch paper containing ideas to bo in
corporated into his message. When ho has
covered aU..of the topics ho wants to treat on
In his m'osaaifo' ho 'will tnko out his memo-
"rauetnm hntrtlftor cla8Blfyinf ? the subjects
will begin to put them together into perma
nent , form. This last work ho will not do
until all ot his cabinet officers have laid tholr
reports before him and ho has carefully gone
over thorn. Ho will not complete tbo last of
his work on the message until the end of
November , although ho will begin sending
the first part of bis message to the publlo
printer ten days bcforo the close of next
month.
For the next four weeks the president In
tends to give up us little time us possible to
the public unless ho finds that ho Is making
such rapid progress with bis message that
ho can spare the time.
A HEIUN OP Tcnnon.
A reign of terror.prevails in the pension
bureau.
It is believed that a largo number of dis
missals from the office will bo made among
the employes connected with the rerating of
pensions , and that General Him in intends to
make us clean n sweep as possible in reor
ganization. The general refuses to say what
ho intends 10 do , but there is very little eauso
for the alarm existing. Some of the em
ployes whoso pensions were reratod without
authority of law. nnd without going through
the usual formalities of application und ex
amination , will bo compelled to refund
the money received or retire from tboir posi
tions , while others who were disreputably
connected with some of the work under
Commissioner Tanner will bo uncondition
ally "fired out. "
The changes which will toUo place by rea
son of the appointment of a new.couirals-
sionor will uot boBoneral , but there are many
whose guilty consciences on account of the
disreputable official acts or incapacity feel
that the ax should strike them , whether it
will or not , und who are therefore appre
hensive ot danger hourly.

Ho said the monopolists had taught the

the lesson of co-oporalton. The lesson taught
by the trusts was co-operation. '
There xvas no foundation for the cry about

In flvo yours , while the production of
wheat decreaicd 2J4 per cent , the price de
creased 23 par cent. The speaker than wont

tect their interests was to adopt frco trado.

Inspector of Ktnnm Vessels Itoporr.
WASHINGTON1 , Oct. 31. The annual report
of the supervising Inspector of steum vessel *
shows that during the fifteen years past the
number of steam vessels in the United
States has Increased from 3,835 in 1873 to
0,723 in I860 , and the gain In the license of
officers in the same period li 11,751 to 83,073.
During the past fiscal year there were
thirty-two accidents to steamers resulting-
the loss of 301 lives , of which ninety-two
were passengers and 309 employes. General
Dumont culls attention to the great
inequalities of salaries paid to officers.
and savs the law should bo remedied
cither by paying all salaries alike or in pro
portion to the number of steamers
inspected , IIo ronovvs the previous recom
mendations fora change in the manner of ap
pointing local Inspectors us now provided by
law , and says if the mutter is not soon
remedied by proper legislation public inter
ests will sooner or later bo seriously Jeopar
dized. IIo would have the nomination of Inspectors
specters mudo by tlio supervising inspector
alone and the latter would then bo faolely ro-
sponslblo if unsultuiilo appointments were
mado.
Culling attention , to the class of vessels
using nunlithu gas , ns a motive power , and
the appalling accidents which have befallen
some of them , ho recommends that all ves
sels using such and other dangerous motors
be brought within the provisions of the law
govornint' steam vessels.
