NEW HAVEN ELECTRICAL Ex-
PANSION.

1t is stated on authority that as a
result of projected trolley parallels be-
tween Waterbury and Middletown, the
New Haven railroad company will ere
long change the Waterbury, Meriden

Only two trains a day each way are
now run on the road. The trolley sys-

the structure to the basement the stock,
valued at S1,OOO.OOO, Is an almost total
loss, either by fire or water, and the
building, is damaged to the extent Of
at least $25O0OO.
Both stock and building were fully
insured. Joseph Alexander. the insur-
ance broker, estimates the total inSur-
ance ut $1,5OO,OOO, placed in policies
ranging from 5000 to $4,000, and al
most every company in the country is

business within ten or fifteen days. AZ
ter their fire three years ago, It rec
quired twelve days to resume. This
time 1t is the intention to break that
record, II possible. The upper hoorS
are absolutely wiped out, and the rear
huff Of the roof has fallen to the sixth
floor. Nothing remains on these floors
but honeycombed terra Gotta flooring
and steel girders. General Manager
Holcombe, of the firm, thinks the firgt
three floors can be utilized for business
within ten days. A meeting Of the
firm was held to-day, at which 1t was
decided to start buyers out tomorrow
for new supply of goods. Temporary
offices will be located in the Pittsburgh

all mail orders will be filled as soon as

The origin of the fire remains myS-
terry, but most thorough investigation
is being made to determine its cause.

AN EARLY ADJOURNMENT
Desired by the Republicans-The
Clark Case to be Continued.


WASHINGTON, April s. = Senator
Chandler probably will make IN effort
Monday to get the senate to agree upon
4 day for taking u vote on the resolu-
tlon concerning the seating of Senator
Quay. The present indications are
that for the present he will fail to Sc
cure unanimous consent, and in any
evenS the discussion of the resolution
will proceed. The senators who are
expected to engage In the discussion
are Massrs. Burrows. Quarles, Platt, of
Connecticut, all of whom oppose the
seating OF Mr.. Quay. Mr.. Burrows
probably will speak Monday.
The Indian appropriation bill will
continue to receive attention until dis
posed of, but 1t is not expected to oc-
casIon a great deal more debate.
Senator Proctor hopes to proceed with
the consideration of the Alaskan code
bin early in the week, with the hope of
securing action at an early day. There
are still some differences pertaining TO
naming rights to be adjusted in this
measure, and more or less discussion
necessarily will precede their detarmIn-
alton. The appropriation bill for the
District of Columbia probably will be
considered during the week.
An Early Adjournment Desired.
on Wednesday Senator Lodge Will
ask the senate to vote upon the Philip
pines temporary, but he does not expect
to accomplish more than to get a day
fixed for the vote. There is apparently
no disposition to debate this bill to any
great extent. but an objection is likely
to be entered vote at this time. The
Republican senators are dispised to
crowd on all possible sail with the view
of securing early adjournment, and 10
this will seek to get early action ON ap-
preparation bills, and on other nece5-
sary legislation. The Democrats ap-
parently are disposed to fall in with this
idea, and they, too, express u desire 10
get away early in the summer.
The committee on elections will con-
clude Its consideration OF the case OF
Senator Clark, OF Montana, Senator
Chandler, chairman of the committee.
expresses the opinion that only one Sit
ting member of the committee will BE-
necessary to determine the attitude of
the committee.
A portion Of the session Of the senate
of Tuesday afternoon will be devoted
TO eulogles upon the late 'Representu-
tive Bland, OF Missouri.
