The Only Survivor of the Cronin
Conspiracy Gains a Point.
EE WILL PROBABLY SOON BE FREE.

Granted New Trial by tho Supreme
Court of Illinois, and the States Attor-
noy Says 1t will be Impossible to Again
Convict Him.
OTTAWA, Ills, Jan. 20.-Danlel Cough
lin, the only man living of the three who
were sentenced to pass their lives within
prison wall for the murder of DIR. Patrick
H. Cronin, Is probably free man. The
verdict which condemned him was yester
day set aside by tho state supreme court
and his case was reversed and remanded
for a new trial. Coughlln will now in
all probability go free, because it will
be practically impossible to convict
him again. The witness, Patrick Dinan,
s.who swore that Coughlin hired from his
livery stable the white horse which car
ftcd Cronin away to his death, died many
mouths ago. His evidence was the main
thing which led the jury to declare that
Coughlin was guilty of conspiracy to muir

MOHARCHIST MANIFESTO
Frenchmen Urged to Organize for
a Change.
A VIOLENT CRISIS PREDICTED.

Ccmte d'Haussonvilic. Leader of tho Mon
arehist Party, Advises the People to
"Prcpare tho Way for Their Prince of
Orleans"
PKIIs, Jan. 0-The Comte d'Hausson-
Vile, leader OF the Monarchist party and
general representative of the Comtr de
Paris, has formulated the Orleauist pro
granIme in a long letter to NJ. fIcrve. cd
itor of The SUlcil. After drawing Il dark
picture of the corruption reveal ~ by the
Panama investigation and the coz sequent
CONSERVATION among the friends of France,
he denies the charge that the monarchists
have tried to aggravate the scandal. The
role of conSpirator was congcnia neither
to himself nor to any of his friends. No
body could doubt that the time had come
when strong hand and strong will were
needed mt the head of the French people.
The attention of the nation ut large, how
ever, was absorbed by the men of the gov
ernment now in power. All having any
thing to lose We're alarmed by the socialist
war aow wagcd against capital. The gov
ernment had no power To stem this move
mcut
Monarchisis to the Front.
The mouarchists ought to assume the
leadership and direction of public opinion
in this emergency. A league to sustain
public integrity and to protect society
should be formed, as the government was
also absorbed in the cares for the public
defonse The organization of the mon
archist movement was complete, and the
mouarchists should now seek to make all
conservative and liberal allowances pos
sible, without distinction, Precise instruc-
tions would he issued before the begin
ming of he general elections. 1t would he
premature to submit Il plan for a form of
government so far in advance of the cleo
tons. and especially when the conservu
tivcs had not agreed upon any one form.
Me1utimc it was necessary to prepare for
the conflict and for unforeseen emergencies
as u violent crisis was inevitable.
When the people of France should tire
of the repullc, the mondrchist party
would he ready to defend the cause Of law
and order, to drive back the enemies Of so,
cirty and to placet the Institutions ut France
upon enduring foundations. That which
today seemed chimerical would then be
come easy and legitimate. In anticipa
