Their Hopes for the Future Deepen
Upon the Action of the Radicals.

Their Hopes for the Future Depend
Upon the Action of the Radicals.
PARIS, October 25th.-The Opportunist
and Radical journals which criticised and
protested against the declarations of Leon
Say have with as much energy applauded
and approved the discourse pronounced by
Ribot on Sunday at Saint 0mer. Leon
Say had declared himself in favor of reso-
lutely moderate policy, which according TO
his idea, would be of such nature as to
rally certain number of conservative
members of the Right. He declared him
self an adversary of any further concessions
to radicalism.
Ribot, on the contrary, was in favor OF
Republican concentration. He rejected the
idea of any concession to the Right, especi-
ally in connection with the socialistie and
military laws. He stated that the future
Cabinet must rely upon united Republi-
can majority, and he expressed confidence
that the Radicals would temporarily re-
nounce the political portion of their re-
forms and give adhesion to business pro-
gramme on which all Republicans could
agree.
Ribct's speech is an exact expression of
the idea which actually dominates the 0p-
portunist party. The party desires to con-
tinue the policy of concentration--that is
TO say, IQ0 pOllCy Vi Tue Olu lie
only hopes that the Radicals, whose num-
Der will be diminished, will be less exigent
than in times gone by that they will make
thelife of the ministries somewhat less hard,
and that they will no longer unite with
the Right in order to overthrow success
lively all Cabinets.
The hope in the conversion of the Radi-
Gals to a moderate policy has always been
the chimera of the Opportunist, and all the
faults committed have not had any other
origin. Another trial will probably be
made of this same policy.
tits to be doubted whether Ribot, if , Il
forms part of the next Ministerial cor -
nation, will succeed better in his attempt
than Jules Ferry or De Freycinet
The late elections were very significant
demonstration in favor of a moderate and
conservative policy. The question is
whether Cabinet composed OF Moderates
even would be able to follow the Conserva-
tive policy and seek the favors of Barodet
and Camille Pelletan.

Taking of Evidence in the Celebrated
Conspiracy.
CHICAGO, October 25th.-The taking of
evidence in identification was resumed in
the Cronin case this morning. The identi-
fication was perfect and very positive. The
next matter taken up was the finding of
the body in the catch basin. The sewer
cleaners who notified the police of the fact,
and the policemen who were sent out and
assisted in removing the body, were sworn
as to this point and described the proceed
iDgs. Lawyer Forest. for the defense,
made the cross. examination on this head
very searching and rigid. They were fol-
lowed by DIR. Lewis, dentist, who made
set of false teeth for Cronin. He identified
the plate taken from Cronin's mouth as
the one he made, and said the cast for an
other set exactly fitted the dead mans
mouth.
A recess was then taken.
AT the afternoon session DR.. Egbert
stated the facts revealed by autopsy, de-
scribing the wounds at great length and
giving it as his opinion that death had
resulted from them. All the wounds were
on the head, but the skull was not broken,
except that a small piece of bone was
Clipped off at the corner of the left eye.
The stomach and some of the contents
were exhibited and DR.. Egbert said that
Cronin was killed within three hours after
having eaten.
The cross examination of DR.. Egbert de-
veloped the fact that none of the wounds
were such as would necessarily cause
death. 1t was impossible, he admitted, to
say whether the wounds were inflicted be-
fore or after death. If death had resulted
from the skull wounds it would, in all
probability, been caused by conclusion of
the brain.
This question was put to the doctor; rs
it not scientifically true that the physicians
found no evidence in that body that were
certain and conclusive of the form of
death 2"
DR.. Egbert replied "That is true. Some
were OF the opinion that death had oc-
CURED from the excessive loss of blood, but
there was no certainty of it" He said DR..
Perkins, who assisted at the post mortem,
thought that death resulted from concus-
sion of the brain. That organ, however,
was too much decomposed to afford any in

can compel his attendance. He was dis

Proposition to Cut Down the Number of
Delegates,

Delegates.
+ DENVER, October 25th.-The Locomotive
Engineers to-day began the consideration
of various resolutions presented to the
Convention. They are forty in number,
the most important of which is one favor
ing federation, and one offering an amend
ment to the constitution to cut down the
number of delegates to the National Con.
vention. The latter will be heartily sup
ported by Chief Arthur, who declares that
the large number of delegates now allowed
make the Conventions unwieldy. Only
two resolutions were adopted to-day, one
indorsing the report of the Committee on
Insurance, and one fixing the election of
officers for Monday.
At this rate" said one of the delegates
to-day, the Convention will last longer
than the q strike"
The delegates will leave here tomorrow
morning On special Rio Grande train for
a trip through the Grand Canyon and over
Marshall Pass, returning here Sunday at
midnight. A grand banquet will be given
them tomorrow night at Pueblo.
