FRANCE AND ITALY SIGN TREATY.
News Comes as a Thunderbolt to Enro-
pean Diplomats.

pean Diplomats.
PARIS, Nov. 22.-It was quite unex-
pectedly announced yesterday after.
noon that q commercial treaty had been
concluded between France and Italy,
granting mutually favored treatment,
except for silk goods. A bill embodying
the agreement will be submitted to the
chamber of deputies. The government
also introduced bill in the chamber
modifying the wine duties favorable to
Italy. "
The negotiations that have culmi-
mated in these arrangements have been
on foot for two years but nobody be-
lieved that defini e agreement was
pending.
1t is believed that the Fashoda affair
was instrumental in inducing France to
grant the necessary concessions, though
it is noteworthy that the silk duties
which caused the breaking of the treaty
in 1887 remain almost unchanged. The
negotiations have been conducted with
the utmost secrecy. 1t is expected that
the effect of the treaty will have an
important political influence for the re-
moval of long standing friction be-
tween the two countries. The treaty
it is noticed was concluded during the
absence of Emperor William from Ger
many and there is much speculation re-
garding its probable results upon the
European alliances.
ROME, Nov. 22.-The conclusion of the
Franco-Italian treaty came as thunder
clap. Looking to the hitherto strained
relations between Paris and Rome, the
treaty may be considered the most inn
portant international event as regards
Italy since the conclusion of the triple
alliance

dian Inspector Wright in the Indian

Uncertain About Dreyfus Case.

PARIS, Nov. 2l.-It is stlll unknown
whether Dreyfus will be brought back
and the most conflicting statements are
current. Comte Esterhazy's "PAffaire

to throw mystery on the Esterhazy
case rather than light on the Dreyfus
affair.

QUAY is INDICTED.
PENNSYLVANIA SENATOR AND SON
MUST ANSWER CHARGES.

Charged With Conspiracy With Late
Cashier or Peoples Bank For Unlawful
Use of Moneys Of the Bank For the
Purchase OF Stock.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 22.-The grand
jury yesterday presented to the court
five bills of Indictment against United
States Senator M. S. Quay, his son
Richard r. Quay and Benjamin j. Hay
wood. ex-state treasurer.
The bills charge the defendants with
conspiracy with John S. Hopkins, late
cashier of the Peoples bank, for the
unlawful use of the moneys of the bank
in the purchase of stock, and conspiracy
with Hopkins in the misuse of funds on
deposit in the Peoples bank. Hopkins
committed suicide by shooting III March
last.
Subsequent to the presentation of the
indictments District Attorney Graham
appeared in conrt and asked for permits
sion to withdraw the attachment OBJ
tanned for the appearance before the
grand jury of Cashier William Mont
gomery of the Allegheny National bank
of Pittsburg and Cashier Stephen B.
Stone of the Beaver Deposit bank of
Beaver, Pa. The district attorney
stated that he desired to present to the
grand jury through the cashiers named
certain evidence in the suit against
Senator Quay and others, but as this
matter had now passed out of the hands
of the grand jury their presence would
not be needed until the case was
brought to trial. He intimated that he
would demand their appearance as wit
nesses and would also insist upon the
production of certain books and papers
of those banks.
The cOar5 granted the district attor-
ney's request and the attachments for
the cashiers were ordered cancelled.
