HOT BLAZE ExTINGUISHED.
T. j. King Gives Sa'isra ctory Test OF
His New Fire Extinguisher.

T. j. King Gives Satisfactory Test Of
His New Fire Extin.uisher.
A practical illustration of the
merits Of new fire extinguisher
was given this afternoon at the
corner of Nuuanu and Queen
streets. Z. j. King, the agent
for the handy little machine, had
a miniature wooden house built
which was filled with paper, ex.
celsior, also wood saturated with
coal oil and covered with tar and
pitch.
At few minutes
after one o'clock, in the
presence OF n large crowd, a
match was touched to the structure
and it was soon a roaring furnace
of the hottest of hot fires. Mr..
King then took one of the
little extinguishers, which are
only little larger than a good
sized bicycle pump, and within
five seconds after the first applics-
ton of the stream the blaze was
"pau." The machine is so simple
that any child can use it.
A house outside the fire limits,
and where there are no hydrants,
il equipped with the extiuguishers
would be as safe from fire as if il
were constructed Of asbestos.

Judge Treadwell Hears Them and
Will Give His Decision This
MorninC

The Police Judges called a meeting for
yesterday afternoon to consider the cases
Of the men arrested for having nickel-in-
the-slot machines in their possession, so
as to arrive at some definite course Of ac-
ton, but Judge Treadwen went on with
his cases yesterday morning and the
other Judges were left to look after their
own.
Judge Treadwell had twenty-four cases
on his calendar and three were selected
for trial, the others, with the exception
of two agreeing to abide by the Judges
decision The cases tried were those of
H: Boston, Henry Ankle and St. Thorn
Worden. One represented the machine
where money drops out; the second where
checks drop out, redeemable by cash at
the bar. and the third where checks are
redeemable only in trade After hearing
the evidence the Judge agreed to give his
decision this morning. It was at first
proposed to make a test case and take 1t
to the Superior Court, and Prosecuting
Attorney Carpenter was agreeable, as he
had in view the Fisher case last May,
but the defendants changed their minds.

SENATORIAL FIGHTS
IN OTHER STATES

HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 19.-Sena-
tor Quay made the following statement
this afternoon before returning to
Washington: II am going to Washing
ton TO attend to some official matters
that require my attention. The situa-
ton here, as far as the United States
Senatorship is concerned, is entirely
satisfactory to me. l have not the

Attorney General Elkins, who will
look after Mr.. Quay's canvass during
his absence. says Senator Brown and

sent to-day and not voting, are home

be counted on to stand by Senator
Quay. These two, with the Ill votes
cast in the balloting to-day" Mr.. Ell

SPLIT AMONG SILVER MEN
STEWART is MORE HOPEFUL OF
RETAINING THE TOGA.
Republicans of the Sagebrush State
Think Wedge Has Been Driv-
en- Into the White Metal
Organization.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CARSON, New, Jan. 19.-Things have
taken on a red glow since yesterday In
the Senatorial fight. The scalping knife
is still red from a lively tussle this
afternoon. Last week the Silver party
State Central Committee held a
meeting for the purpose Of deposing
William Sharon as chairman OF the
committee, and also reading F. G. New
lands out of the organization. The
meeting laid the matter over until to-
day.
This afternoon the meeting was
called. The Sain resolution denouncing
Sharon and Newlands as traitors was
taken up. A vote on the matter re-
suited in the expulsion of Sharon and
Newlands from the party and the COM
mittee by a vote of 20 to II. AS soon
as the announcement was made Mr..
Sharon made objection to the ruling
and stated that the matter would be
taken to the courts, and that he still
considered himself chairman Of the
committee.
The Stewart men are all smiles and
consider it their greatest victory.
The Republicans are also wearing a
broad smile as they consider 1t the big
geSt wedge ever entered into the Silver
party. The Silver men are pleased as
they claim that the renegades and
traitors have been weeded out of the
ranks. At the conclusion of the meet
ing State Controller Davis was chosen
temporary chairman.
At the Legislature to-day the case of
Lord VS. Conboie was reported by the
committee in favor of Lord. The mi
nority report was in favor of Conboie.
1t was made a special order for Tues
day, the day of the Senatorial election.

OBJECT TO POLICE METHODS.
Building Trades Council Thinks
There Is Too Much Economy
on Certain Lines.

At the meeting of the Building Trades
Council last night the methods o. the Po-
lice Department were brought up and Sc
verely criticized.
The police force is composed of men of
almost every trade and vocation. Nat
urally there are a number of carpenters,
painters and paperhangers wearing the
star and brass buttons. For some years
1T has been customary when there was
a little carpentering or painting to be
done around one of the stations to take
a few men off the routine and put them
to work. AS this crowds out legitimate
artisans, whose bread and butter depends
on this very work, they deprecate the
practice, and last night the venerable
head of the department was criticized in
no uncertain terms for permitting it. An
effort will be made to stop it once and
for all.
1t was also reported that the contrac-
tor who is remodeling Morosco's theater
had refused to agree to employ only un-
ion men at union wages, and Messrs
Page and Mccarthy were deputed to
visit him and talk over the matter. 1t
is probable that it will be amicably adj
justed. as the proprietor of the house has
always been on record as friend to Or
ganized labor.

NEW YORK, Jan. ia Washing

session is concerned unless an amend

Senator White intends to rise to a
question of privilege tomorrow. He
will present to the Senate his reasons
for refusing to obey the resolutions of
the Legislature of his State, instruct
ing him to vote for the treaty and also
to vote against any amendment of the
same. He will quote many famous
precedents for asserting his right and
duty to vote his own independent con-
victions, and not to be a mere register
of the will Of a Legislature which did
not elect him. His colleague, Senator
Perkins, Will obey the command of the
Legislature, but he is reported to be
ready nevertheless to vote for the Ba-
con resolutions declaring against the

TWO HUNDRED POUNDS
OF POWDER SET OFF

SANTA CRUZ, Jan. 19.-An explosion
occurred this morning at o'clock at the
California Powder Works, the second
within week, but luckily no one was in
jured.
1t was the single-wheel mill, and as no
one was in the mill at the time the cause
will ever remain a mystery.
The noise of the explosion and shock
awakened the people of Santa Cruz.
Two hundred pounds of blasting powder
was the size of the charge that went off.
The foreman of the mill, Joe Maynard,
was on his way to the mill. and was
within forty feet of the building at the
time of the explosion.
The building is of granite walls on three
sides, while at one end 1t is open. The
only damage to the mill was the roof be-
ing blown off. The machinery is all right,
as the wheels weigh seven thousand
pounds.
This mill has exploded more times than
any others at the works, and several
times with fatal results to the employees.
The mill will be repaired at once.

DEADLOCK AT SAN
JOSE NOT BROKEN
But the Mayor Is Authorized to Break
Into the Treasurer's Safe and
Count the Cash.

SAN JOSE, Jan. 19.-Daily Council meet
ings are afternoon features, and the at
tendance at these matinees are increas-
ing. The attraction is the deadlock be-
tween Mayor Martin and the Council over
the selection of a City Treasurer. Only
three Councilmen attended a special meet
ing called this afternoon and nothing
could be done. Another meeting will be
called tomorrow. The Mayor still ex-
presses a determination to name no other
than Joseph f. Colombet, and the Coun-
Gil declares 1t will not confirm him.
The Finance Committee has empowered
the Mayor to open the safe and count the
money in it, as is done every month. An
expert has been sent for to open the safe,
as the late Treasurer Ewing left no mem
orandum of the combination. Mayor Mar
tin was also empowered to put an expert
to work on the books.
AT the next meeting of the Council a
resolution will be introduced instructing
the Mayor and Finance Committee to open
the safe and pay the $500 worth of city
bonds that fell due on January 9. With
these bonds paid the deadlock over the
Treasurer will become a siege that prom
ises to last for some time

ITS FRANCHISE VIOLATED
OVER $4,000 PAID FOR TELE-
PHONES THAT WERE TO
BE FREE.
An Effort to Be Made to Recover the
Amount, or at Least Part of
It, From the Corpo-
ration.

ALAMEDA, Jan. 19.-For ten years the
city OF Alameda has been paying tribute
to the Sunset Telephone and Telegraph
Company, contrary to the provisions Of
the ordinance under which the munich
pality granted the corporation a franchise
TO operate its telephone system in this
city.
The corporation has received illegally
from the city treasury over $4,000 in that
time for charges which. under the terms
of its contract, it had no right to make
Ordinance No. GS. passed March y, 1888,
grants the Sunset Telegraph and Tele-
phone Company and its assigns a fran
chise to operate its lines within the city
limits. The consideration is set forth in
section Of the ordinance, which reads
as follows:
In consideration Of the rights herein granted
the said city Of Alameda by its properly author
lied officers shall have the right TO transmit
over the wires OF said Sunset Telegraph and
Telephone Company, free of charge, all mes
sages relating TO the city's business.
1t was also agreed that this provision
should include the placing of telephones
in the city offices without cost TO the mu-
nicipality.
The telephone company never made any
pretensions of carrying out its part of the
contract. From the very start the city
was charged for the use of the telephones
and lines and the practice has been kept
up for close on to eleven years. The pc
each succeeding Board of City Trustees
has passed upon and allowed the bills
without question.
When the officials moved into the new
City Hall the clerk ordered telephones
placed in his office, the office of the Board
of Health and at the electric light works.
After they were in position the telephone
company was informed that no pay would
be allowed for them under the provi-
sions of the franchise, and no bills have
ever been presented.
In the school and police departments,
however, the old telephones were trans
ferred into the new building. The COM
pany had illegally charged for them ever
since they had been in operation, and as
no one seemed to object and no one de-
manded that they should be used free of
charge, the bills continued to be filed with
the City Trustees, and have been present
ed and paid up to date.
The School Department had been pay
ing so so a month up to 1895, when the
Directors kicked a little and the tee-
phone company magnanimously reduced
the figure to SIT 80. The police telephones
are costing the city about $50 a month,
and that has been the price for nearly
eleven years.
The attention of the City Trustees will
be called to the provisions of the tele-
phone franchise, and the City Attorney
will be asked TO take steps to recover the
money unlawfully paid to the telephone
