Bronson of this city, candi- date for governor on the democratic tlcket in the state election of 1900. is made the defendant ill a suit for S1,- 100000 damages which has been re- turned to the April term of the superior court. The action is brought by Miss susan Bronson of Waterbury an aunt of the defendant who alleges that as her agent and attorney for ten years prior to September, 1904, the plaintiff failed to make an accounting of the affairs of her estate which she be- lieves to have been worth at the time it was put into his hands about $5OO,- GOO which with the moneys accumu- lated during the time he has had the property in charge will amount to near " the sum claimed in damages.
 The complaint says that although q certain portion of the stocks, bonds. notes and other securities belong to the plaintiff, many of them stand in the name of the defendant, the certificates and other evidences of indebtedness being in his possession. The stock in certain national banks and in certain foreign corporations stand in the name of the defendant on the books of the banks and corporations. having been transferred by the defendant in to his own name though the defend- ant says the complaint had no legal Or equitable right therein.
 On September 10, 1904, the plaintiff revoked the agency of the defendant and appointed J. Hobart Bronson of Waterbury her agent and attorney and since that time the plaintiff alleges that she has demanded of Judge BrOn- son that he deliver all of her property ill his hands to her agent. Mir Bronson of Waterbury. The complaint charges that the defendant has neglected and refused to deliver the property and to render accounts of the affairs of the estate and to transfer the stocks and de- liver the certificates therefor to the plaintiff or her attorney or agent
 When asked about the suit to-day, Judge Bronson'c only comment was the matter would probably never come to trial. He referred to his attorney Judge Stoddarl for all information on the subject. Judge Stoddard was in Boston to-day and could not be reached.

A., noon.-War Minister SakarOff, in an interview to- day, declares that the reports of Rus sia countermanding orders for war ma terial abrOad are baseless and grow ,fers with which the war office and ad- miralty have been swamped. He in- sists that there has been no relaxation in the preparations to continue the war hut says there will be no new mobili- zatfon at present, explaining as stated in these despatches that 14O,OOO troops of the last mobilization have already started for the front and that instead of mObilizing new troops these will be followed by a portion of this years conscripts.
 General Sakaroff denied emphatical- ly that he ever intriguel against Gener- al Kuropatkin, affirming that he gave the latter the mast loyalsupport. At the same time in discussing the battle of Mukden SakarOff declared that the men and material of the Russian army are equal to those of the Japanese, forcing the reluctant conclusion that the Japanese generalship is superior to the Russian. n.,-.
