FOUND DYNAMITE.
Enough to Blow up Section of the
Ward,

Ward.
Patrolman Trainor and a janitor OF
the tenement house at 10S Franklin
steet found In an clubhouse near the
building yesterday morning nine sticks
of dynamite Is inches long and four
inches in diameter. The building was
formerly Patrick Cullens carriage fac
tory and is occupied by 16 italian fam
lilies, $50 people in all. The factory was
a year ago sold at auction to Andrew
Gates of Hartford, and remodeled into
tenement house. 1t is known down
town as the Double Decker"
The police were there the day
before looking around for some stolen
goods and it is probable that the Ital-
ian became frightened and hid the
dynamite there.
The police are looking for the person
who stole 1t. Some time ago lot of
dynamite was stolen from Milford
contractor and it Is thought that this
may probabl be some of that.

Most of the Large Ones Working Over

Most of the Large Ones Working Over
time-To Close for Christmas.
The factory of F. B. Shuster & Co. is
running nights in order to accommodate
the constantly increasing orders which
are being received. The size of this
factory has recently been almost dou-
bled by new additions which have been
erected. The new machinery, including
the boiler and engines, cost almost $780,
600. The force of employees has also
been about doubled. The prosperity at
this factory is but an example Of that
evidenced by the other big shops.
The employees of the several depart
ments of the New Haven Clock COM
pany have just received orders to work
every night in the week until the hol-
iday orders are completed The hands
have been working three nights a week,
but the company found that they must
work every night in order to fill the or
ders.
Part of the factory of Peck Brothers
Co is running nights owing to the
large number of orders now on hand.
The business of the company has not
been more brisk in years than it is at
the present time.
The shutdown at the factory of T..
Candee & Co. for a week to take in
ventory is largely due to the mild
weather that has prevailed thus far
this winter An open winter always
hurts the rubber goods factories, and
the present season has thus far been
one of the midest known in years.
Sargent & Co. will close Monday and
Tuesday, during which time the con-
Germ win take inventory The company
is rushed with work and will complete
the inventory with as little delay as
possible.

pense and trouble in making repairs on

SENATE To SEAT
MATT 5. QUAY
Small Majority in His
Favor.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Matthew S
Quay will be seated by the United States
Senate. Senator ouay's credentials, given
by the Governor of Pennsylvania after
the Legislature had failed to elect, will
be acceptable to the United States Senate
by a small but safe majority.
This is the conclusion reached, not only
by Senator Quay's friends, but by those
who have made an impartial canvass of
the situation. A Senator who has had
some correspondence recently with Vice
President Hobart, and who by reason of
his position has a better opportunity of
learning the individual views of Sena-
tors than any other public man,
said in an interview that Mr.. Ho-
bart is confident that Mr.. Quay will
be seated. In addition to this, it is
stated that a systematic canvass of
the Senate has been made in two separate
instances-one for Senator Quay himself
by designated friends and the other by
George @. Cannon of Utah, who has been
promised the vacant Sena torship from
that State by gubernatorial appointment,
provided the Senate votes to seat Quay.
AS a result both are believed to be well
sa tisfied that they will occupy seats in the
next Senate. The canvass made by Mr..
Cannon is said to nave been complete,
with exception of Senator Hanna. He re-
fused to commit himself, but as he voted
to seat Corbett, Quay is said not to be
worried as to the way he will vote.

NEW TREATY WITH
SPAIN TO BE FRAMED
Since the War There Has Been No
Agreement Save That Covering
Terms of Peace

WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-An under
standing mas been reached by which it is
expected that negotiations will be opened
soon at Madrid for a new treaty between
the United States and Spain. This will
be the last step toward completely restor-
ing the friendly relations between the two
countries.
The war with Spain swept the old treaty
out of existence and the only iuteHp ational
agreement now in existence is the peace
treaty. which is confined to the events
ence to commerce, navigation, extradition
and other manifold relations between
nations in time of peace. The coming
negotiations will be for the purpose Of
and friendship. The present condition is
quite anomalous, as there is no basis on
which persons could be eXtradited from
one country to the other, or for the de-
termination of any commercial difference
which might arise. Fortunately there has
been no case occasioning serious differ
ence.
Both sides expect that the new treaty
will be a great Improvement on the old
one which was an antiquated document,
dating back to 1895, with many of its pro-
visions devoted to the boundary between
Florida, then a possession of Spain, and
the United States. Save for the Gushing
protocol it has been impossible to frame
g. new treaty satisfactory to both sides,
and 1t remained for the war to dispose of
1t and thus open the way for a modern
treaty.
1t had been thought that the Due
d'Arcos would conduct these negotiations
with the State Department here, but the
Minister is rather relieved at the under
standing that the work will be carried on
there, Bellamy Storrer, will act for the
United States.

RUSSIAN CRUISER
SOON TO BE LAUNCHED
Designed to Be the Fastest Vessel Of
Her Glass Ever Built by the
CrampS

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 29-The Rus
sian cruiser Variag, which is designed to
be the fastest armored vessel of her class
ever constructed by the Cramp ship
building firm will be launched on Tuesday
with unusual display. Prominent Russian
naval attaches and Government officials
are expected at the christening. The
choice of the fair sponsor for the war
ship has not yet been made, but
the favored one will be either Miss
Casinl, niece of the Russian ambassador,
or Miss Mertnago, daughter of the Rus
sian naval attache.
The new Russian cruiser, the con-
struction of which was begun in May,
1898, will be of a distinctive type and will
represent the latest development of the
art of naval architecture as applied to
armored seagoing vessels. The builders
in this instance have been called upon
to solve the most difficult problem that
has confronted them in shipbuilding. The
plans call for guaranteed speed of %
knots for twelve hours. In order to ac-
complsh this task she will be provided
with water-tube boilers of the Niclausse
type, calculated to develop 26 900 Indicated
horsepower. The motive power is to
consist of two vertical inverted triple
expansion four cylinder engines, driving
twin screws.
The vessel is 400 feet long, 50 feet beam,
19 feet inches draught and of $500 tons
displacement. Her main battery will
consist of twelve 6-inch breech-loading
rlres ana her secondary battery of
twelve 75-millimetre and six 47-millimetre
guns, all of the rapid-fire type. The
vital parts of the Variag are to be pro-
tected by a steel deck. extending the
whole. length of the ship. She will be
provided with two underwater torpedo
tubes and all the auxiliary appliances
and equipment will embody the very
latest devices ana the most approved de-
velopment o. modern construction.
The cruisers complement will consist
of q officers and $50 petty officers and
crew.
The Cramps are also constructing a
high-class battleship for Russia, to be
named the Retwinan. The contracts for
the two vessels call for their completion
about 1900.

REUBEN LLOYD SUES
MRS. JOHN ALLISON
AS Executor of Mrs. Martha Buckle
LEWIS Estate Demands Posses
sion of Certain PROPERTY.

SAN RAFAEL, Oct. pa suit was filed
in the Superior Court yesterday by Reu-
ben H. Lloyd of San Francisco, in which,
AZ executor of the estate of Mrs. Martha
Buckelew, he declares that one of her
daughters is fraudulently holding large
amount of the deceased woman's prop
erty.
Mrs. Buckelew was the widow of the
man who established The Californian, the
first paper printed in San Francisco and
who tried to make California City a rival
of Yerba Buena.
He died many years ago, leaving his
wife a large estate. In her will Mrs.
Buckelew leaves her property in trust to
her two daughters, Mrs John Allison and
Mrs Peter Gardner of Mill Valley. This
estate included several thousand dollars
in bank and large sum of money and
yaluables in safe deposit.
Mrs. Allison has the bank books and key
to the drawer in which the property is
kept in the safe deposit and refuses to
give them up, claiming that they were
given to her by her mother four days be-
fore her death Mrs. Gardner denies this
and Attorney Lloyd sues for possession
of the bank books and safe deposit key.
A hard legal battle is anticipated.
