Postoflce and Primaries.

The Pittsburg postofice is giving Mr.. Quay's
local adherents great deal of mental trouble.
They had hoped for change before the pri-
maries, but hope has faded into an almost abb
solute surety that nothing will be done until
much later, probably not until the expiration
of Postmaster Lark1n's term. It is represented
that Postmaster General Wanamaker is quite
ready to accommodate Mr.. Quay in this matter
at any time he may say the word, for the prin-
cipal reason that he desires to make amends TO
the Junior Senator for their little difference of
opinion concerning the Fields matter in Phila-
delphia. Mr.. Quay is reported to feel that it
would not be good policy to make the change
now, though short time ago he almost prom
ised to make the appointment within week
after Mr.. Warmcastle should be appointed to
the Collectorship of Internal Revenue. The
Quay workers think they could capture the
Republican County, Committee with little or
no trouble in case of Mr.. McKean's immediate
appointment. Without it they make no boasts
that they can do anything more than make
fight.

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.

License Legislation Likely to Greatly Agi-
tate the Next Session of the Legislature
The Pitfsburg PostofIice and the County
Committee : Quay After Pittsburg's
Councils,
Members Of the Legislature just home from
Harrisburg have heard more aDout liquor IL
censes and prohibition than they had heard in
some time before. A great many unreasonlng
people think the members from Allegheny
county could have in some way averted the
storm II they had only wanted 10 do so. When
pinned down and asked for plans and specifica-
tions they are unable to furnish them, but con-
tinue to adhere to the original proposition that
there must have been some way to do it, or at
least that some way might have been found
No Allegheny member could have done thing
to in one way or the other have changed the re-
suit at the late License Court, and no one Of
them nor all Of them together could have
passed any law to alter the result
at any License Court that meets be-
fore the next session Of the Legisla-
ture. Orders went out from Mr.. Quay
while the last session was yet in its swaddling
clothes that there should be no liquor legisla-
tion until after the vote on the prohibitory
amendment, and Mr.. Brooks, who had an
amendment TO Il1S Dill, DOWeQ TO Lne superior
power and refused to be tempted into an alli-
ance with Senator Cooper. Those who did not
bow failed to achieve anything. Some were
encouraged late In the session to hope that
something might be done for the bills they had
introduced, but this was merely to win their
support at critical times. Mr.. Cooper's last
effort at amendment to the high license law
for the purpose of lberalizing it in some re-
spects, was killed on the last night of the ses-
sion, as was Mr.. Quigley's one amendment in
the same direction.
A Shadow of Coming Events.
There is the highest authority for saying
that the next session of the Legislature will be
as remarkable for its license legislation as the
late one was for its lack of anything Of the
kind that maIerialized into law. The Republi-
can leaders, except when talking for publlca-
ton, do not mask their opinion that the prohi-
bition amendment is as good as dead. What
will satisfy the people in general is the thing
that is troubling them. Some deliverance on
the subject will be made at the coming State
Convention and from that until the Legisla-
ture next meets the details Of the bill that will
be introduced as the party measure will cause
them more or less anxiety. 1t Is not likely to
be the only bill there. Men with ideas OF
their own on the subject will be on hand next
session of the Legislature as this. Mr.. Brooks,
if he is in legislative harness two years hence,
as he hopes to be, will probably introduce the
party bill. Mr.. Cooper hopes not to be in the
next Legislature, though it is equally true that
his recent effort to amend the present liquor
law was defiance. of orders that may be a
stumbling block in the pathway Of his Federal
advancement.

Opposed to the Judges.

Among certain politicians of Allegheny
county there is a strong feeling that the liquor
law should be so amended as to take the licens-
ing power out of the hands of the judges. There
is great deal more unanimity on this than on
any other point that has yet been developed.
One plan suggested is that general license
board or commission be established in Harris
burg and that deputy be located in each Sem
atorial district of the State, the latter to have
power to license and the former to have gen.
eral charge of the matter and act as court Of
appeal. In its general features this plan bears
great resemblance to a bill introduced early in
the session by Representative Lemon. The bill
also had the high license feature and was de-
cidedly stringent in its provisions. 1t was neg
atived by the Committee on Ways and Means.
but may be heard of again at the next session.
In the rural districts of the State, where the
people have been accustomed 70 the exercise Of
the license power by the judiciary, such a de-
mand is practic ally unheard of. What favor
such scheme might receive If passed is one of
the things that cannot be told.

CRONIN'S CLOTHES.
The Murdered Mans Gar
ments Discovered.
TIsHED OUT OF THE SEWER
Near Where the Victims Body Was
FOund-Great Excitement
Over the Event.
Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
CHICAGO, November 8.-Dr. Cronin's
clothes and case of surgical instruments
we're found this afternoon and fully
identified, and the discovery has created
great excitement among the officers of
the State. Complaints have been made
recently that the sewer at the intersec-
ton of Evanston and Buena avenues
was running over, and today workmen
we're sent to investigate the trouble.
The cover was removed from a manhole
In the center Of the street, and after a
few minutes work with poles and hooks
two valises were brought up, one leather
one and the other the remnants of a
cheap paper one. In the leather one
was found DR.. Cronin's prescription book
with several prescriptions bearing his
signature. The paper one dropped to
pieces as it was taken out, and from it
rolled mass of tattered clothing, most
of which had been cut in strips. The
only garment remaining intact was the
vest, which was in the center, and which
encircled the doctors case of surgical
instruments. The clothes had evidently
been cut in the hope that they would
sooner drop apart aud be borne away in
the sewer.
DAMAGING EVIDENCE.
The clothing, surgical case and pre-
scription book, the latter two being
marked with Cronin's name, were fully
identified by the Conklins and others az
the property of the murdered physician.
The most damaging of all the circum-
stances for the prisoners is the fact that
the find was made only one block from
the spot where the bloody trunk was dis.
covered after it had been thrown hur.
riedly from the wagon, and only half a
mile south of where the body was found
In the catch basin. The paper valise is
supposed to be the one purchased by 81.
b. Simonds," and tomorrow clerk will
endeavor to identify it.
AN EXCITING TRAGEDY.
A tragic event, which occurred Just in
front Of the courthouse while everybody
was examining these articles, caused
wild excitement. A shot WAS heard Just
at the entrance Of Judge McConnell's
court. A dozen lawyers and reporters
rushed out and found stretched on the
sidewalk the body of a large man, with
a revolver in one hand and the brains
oozing from the skull. He was dead,
and as no one could identify him. it was
at once presumed that his tragic death
had some mysterious connection with
the sensational discoveries of the day.
After hours of investigation, however, it
was learned that his name was Edward
Rehm, and that he had been for some
time known to be partially insane. He
doubtless suicided while laboring under
mental alteration.

Application for Alexander Sulli.
vans Release from Bail.
CHICAGO, November 8.-Application
was made this morning before Judge
Baker for the discharge from $25 900 bail
of Alexander Sullivan, in which he was
held last June. The claim is that the
Grand Jurors since then having failed to
act, his bail should be dropped. The
Court was inclined to coincide with this
opinion, but put the matter over till to-
morrow at the request of the State.
TRIALS OF THE SUSPECTS RESUMED.
In the Cronin case the cross-examina-
ton of Captain Schutlter was continued
this morning.
William Niemau, who at the time of
the murder kept saloon near the Carl
son cottage, testified in the Cronin case
that O'Sullivan entered the saloon be-
tween 10 and II O'Clock on the night Of

According to his best Judgment he
thought Coughlin was one Of the men,
He thought the third man was Kunze.
They talked together in undertones and
with their hands to their faces.
The first witness this afternoon was
Andrew ]. Monatt, printer, who works
for Mr.. Stanton, the man who printed
business cards fof O'Sullivan, one of
which was ueed to decoy DR.. Cronin to
his death, and he identified the card here
tofore placed in evidence. On April 9th
O'Sullivan called before all of the cards
were printed and took some of them
away with him. He also left instruc-
tions to give the rest to one of his men if
he should call.
POLICE TESTIMONY.
Policeman Hoe6g, desk sergeant at the
East Chicago avenue station, where De-
tective Coughlin was stationed previous
to his arrest in connection with the case,
testified that in the month of April he
received telephone message from
O'Sullivan, who wanted to see Coughlin
at his (O'Sullivan's) house that evening.
When told of it, Coughlin said, Gail
