A QUIET RUMOR That the Illinois Supreme Court naa Re versed the Cronin Cases. CHICAGO, Feb. 5. Word was quietly passed around among those interested in the Cronin case that the supreme court had handed down an opinion re versing the finding of the lower court. It was stated that the opinion would be made public at Ottawa during the day by Clerk Taylor, of the Northern Grand division. While reports of a similar nature have been in circulation before, some importance was attached to the rumor from the fact that it was said to emanate from persons who were likely to obtain the information first in case a decision had been rendered, and also for the reason that: the information seemed to be wholly confined to the friends of the late Dr. Cronin. The news was received with consid erable surprise by those in sympathy with the prosecution and there was a disposition to doubt that the supreme court had remanded the case and di rected a rehearing. Justice Magrauder, of the supreme court declined to give any information about the Cronin case or any other case pending in the supreme court on the ground that such a course would be improper. He said no decision would be annouhced until the close of the March term of the supreme court to be held at Ottawa. Without Foundation. CHICAGO, Feb. 5.—A special to The Post from Ottawa, Ills., says the rumors printed in Chicago to the effect that a new trial had been granted to the slay ers of Dr. Cronin, are utterly without foundation.

Springer's Opponents Hare a Schema to Defeat Uis TurlflT Poller. WASHINGTON, Feb. ff. -It is said that a well defined plan of action has been agreed upon by those Democrats in con gress who are opposed to Mr. Springer's tariff policy by which it is hoped the ways and means committee enn be em harassed and compelled to report a sufficient nnmber of tariff bills to make the discussion of that subject a practical assault all along the line. Resolutions will be offered instructing his commit tee to report bills putting various articles on the free list. These resolu tions, it is said, have been distributed, and that within the next few days the house will be flooded with them, the start to be made by a resolution Mr. Fithian has in his pocket instructing the committee to report a bill putting farming implements upon the free list. This resolution also ci es the state ment of Mr. Farquhar, of York, Pa., a manufacturer of this class of goods,that farming implements were made in this country and sold to jobbers for exporta tion at smaller prices than the same goods bring in this couutry. Mr. Fith ian denies that there is any concert of action in this matter, but says he will introduce such resolutions in that direction as he thinks should be pre sented. Whether they will pass or not he is not prepared to say. The probable result will be that they will be referred tj the committee on ways and. means, and that committee will report its own bills in its own time. A WAITING GAME.

THE TWiN&. TRUST. Western Congressman WJII Attempt to Break the Combine. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—Western con gressmen are trying to devise some plan for breaking up the big cordage trust. Congressmen Lind and Castle said they oa ,Mt the state of Minne sota had secured the additional twine making machinery wanted, so that enough binding twine would hereafter be turned out at Stillwater to supply the farmers of hat state. Minnesota now uses more binding twine than any other state. It was supposed that when the tariff was removed from the raw ma terial which is used in the manufacture of cordage tne trust would break up and prices would be lov er. It trans pires that the trust maintains its power by keeping couirol of the machinery making establishments. It has either bought up or crushed out nearly every independent machine maker in the country. The Minnesota committee met with the greatest difficulty in procuring machin ery, notwithstanding they were prepared to pay cash for a large plant. One of the machine makers, and probably all of them, were wil ing to sell the com mittee machines for the manufacture of short fibre cordage, wLich card the raw material as well as spin it, and as the so-called Kentucky or American hemp could be grown in many parts of Minnesota and the West and could be made into a satisfactory quality of bind er twine, they concluded that they would be content with that. The con think that the only way for states adjoining Minnesota to pro cure machinery is to send a committee to Philadelphia or Paterson, with power to make contracts large enough to tempt machine builders to leave the trust.
