F|NDDYNAM|7E UNDER
TRAIN FROM LAWRENCE
Tied to Car Near Others Load
ed With American Wooden
Company's Goods.

PHILADELPHIA, February 29.-Nine-
teen sticks Of dynamite were found in
the Philadelphia and Reading freight
yards here Saturday, attached to the
trucks Of a freight car which passed
through Lawrence last Thursday. loaded
with paper. consigned to the Garrett
Buchanan Company, at IS South 9th
street.
It Is believed the dynamite was at
tached to the car trucks at Lawrence for
the purpose of blowing up the entire
freight train, in which there were thirty
cars Of wooden goods. consigned to the
American Wooden Company. the corpora
ton against which the strikers are most
bitter.
Dynamiter Miscalculated.
Each stick Of dynamite weighed three
pounds, being twelve inches slong by one
and three-quarter inches In diameter.
The sticks were wrapped in heavy paper
and tied to the trucks in such manner
that the wheels of the car would run
against the paper as they revolved.
Through each stick Of dynamite had been
run a piece of wire, evidently with the
away the paper the steel-rimmed wheel
would strike the wire, causing q spark
that would cause an explosion.
BY a miscalculation the person who
placed the dynamite failed to tie the
sticks close enough to the wheel.
Discovery Of the Dynamite.
When Car Inspector Andrew Straper
started to make an inspection Of the
wheels the first blow that he struck
with his hammer brought down a bundle,
which he took to the freighthouse and
turned over to Chief Clerk John Hart
man. An inspection revealed the first
stick Of dynamite. Then eighteen more
sticks Of the explosive were found.
They were turned over to the special
police of the Philadelphia and Reading
railroad, who, in conjunction with the
detectives of the New England roads, are
tracing where the dynamite was made
and to whom 1t was sold.

HINT IN DUMA OF TRADE
WAR ON UNITED STATES
Russian Minister Speaks of
Possible Break, in Debate
on Farm Machinery.

i ST PETERSBURG, February 29.-The
bill prepared by the minister of commerce
embodSing measures to encourage the
manufacture Of agricultural machinery in
Russia was taken up in the duma yes
terday. 1t proposes to permit the entry,
duty free, of certain machines and ma
chine parts, to offer manufacturers
credit and to reduce the taxes in their
favor In addition, the bill now proposes
a temporary reduction in the tariff on
the whole range of farming machinery,
to be prolonged indefinitely.
The duma financial committee proposed
as an amendment that the reduction be
prolonged only until the expiration Of the
Russo-German commercial treaty in
July next.
The debate, in which the minister of
commerce participated. disclosed the at
titude of the various Russian parties In
respect to Russo-American trade rela-
tons.
Resume Debate Today.
The constitutional democrat. NJ. Shig-
azeff, declared that the international
Harvester Company, an American con-
Germ, had built immense works near Mos
cow The bill, he said, favored this
company at the expense OF smaller Rus
sian manufacturers. Therefore the con-
stitutional democrats would support that
part OF the bill dealing with the pro-
lonxation Of the reduction in the tariff,
but would oppose industrial bounties.
The minister of commerce. M. T1mas-
hoff, said cheap machinery from abroad
was not always available. For example.
he continued the difficulty between Rus
STA and the United States might lead to
a temporary cessation Of trade relations
between the two countries and create
obstacles to the supply Of foreign ma
chimes.
NJ. Motovitoff. a large land owner, re-
ferred to the injury done to Russia S
pride by the United States in denouncing
the treaty Of 1882, and insisted that some
tangible protest must be made.
In the vote on the different proposals
the duma adopted that of the financial
committee. This provides for discrimfna-
ton in the reduction Of the tariff on
parts brought in with or without the
machines. The debate will be resumed
today.

Saving to Government.

The whole system of keeping the rec

probable that the committee will pro-

While Mr.. Putnam was before the COM
mittee he made the interesting observa-
ton that In his opinion the taking an
nuaIly by a clerk of his allotted thirty
days sick leave was "a blot on his rec
ord The librarian added that clerks
who did this were never advanced or
promoted. There were only a few in the
library, however he declared, who habit
