Special Dispateh to THE CALL. 6.—It has been an- | Koch and is a gen- | fact that there are now | ms inst the city aggre- | n §50,000 and §9),000. The? preliminary skirmish over the payment of | these was fought out to-night at the meet- | ing of the Common Council, at which all the members were present, and the victory lay with the people, through the efforis of Counciimen Krieg and Dittus. Nolting and Dittus constitute the Claims Commitiee. According to the rules of the | 1, all bills before being considered by the Council must have the approval of the Claims Committee, When the meet- | ing was cailed to order to-night Dittus’ | desk was littered with bundles of at | bad already recsived the aignature of | Nolting, who had placed them before Dit- tus for the latter's approval.

At this point Nolting presented the ciaim ot Webner for $650 for extra work on the main oulet sewer. He exvlained that the original bill had been cut up into seven separate cluims. He declared that the claim was jus:, that Wehner was an lonest man, and that the Council ought to oraer the bili paid. He moved that the claim be allowed. No explanation was vouchsafed as to why the claim was any more legal now than it was when the first | and second bulls for saume work had not been allowed. Dittus moved to lay | the bill over. The motion was defeated, | as w 50 the original motion. W. B. Hardy, the attorney for the con- tractors ot the Julian-street sewer, askea to be given a hearing on the claim of his clients against the city. The matter was made a special order for 7:30 ». M. Mon- day next. After the adjournment of the Council, George B. Dittus, a member of the Ciaims Committee, explained his attitude relative to the pending claims against the city. ‘‘Some of the merchants of this town,” he said, ‘“‘are acquainted with the way bills against the city are paid, but there are many who do not know that a bill should not be assigned until it is approved | by the person ordering the goods or ser- | vice, by the tWo members of tue Claims Committee and by the committee repre- senting the fund irom which such a bill is to be paid. I have run across many unauthorized bills on city blanks for work or material supplied the city, which have been as- signed. A man of good business knowl- edge woul! not cash a bili of that kind. Those bills are likely to come :n at any time, and we have no means of knowing whether they are duplicates of bills already paid or not, wor even whether they were legitimately contracted. *'Only last July the Chief of the Fire De. partment contrzcted a bili for $260 for fire- works and for the decorations of the ap- paratus under hischaree. He hasno rignt to expend a single cent outof the city treasury without the proper authoriza- tion. I will wager that there are $3000 | worth of bills contracted in ordering goous | and supplies for the city withoutauthority | irom the Council or from any member of the board.” Here Krieg, rupted to “They talk about the indebtedness of the city of San Jose. Itissae to say that that indebtedness can be reduced $30,000 irom the $92,000 if it is confined strict ¥ to such as nas Yeen incurred according to the rules of the Councii—and that is where tue fight is going to be.” rk be anthorized to the offictal organ of San Jose be before Friday, Clerk on of , for approva as lost by a tie vote, Fay | ng against it, and Krieg od Wwho was present, inter- HEIKLS DLFEGTS GRIMM, Bensational Mateh at CHICAGO, Dec. 6—Rolla Heikes of Dayton, Ohio, challenger, defeated Charles Grimm of Clear Lake, Iowa, to-day for the cast-iron medal by a score of 91 to 87, A strong wind from the southwest swept ihe d and blew cutting snow into the faces of the two experts.

Only Forty Seconds of the Stipulated Limit Re- mained. Chlcago Lad Makes a Great Show- Ing Before the Natlonal Sporting Club. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. LONDON, Dec. 6.—The battle between Jimmy Barry of Chicago and Walter Croot of Newcastle, England, for the bautam-weight championship of the world, which was postponed from Novem- ber 15 last, owing to the sudden death of | John Fl-ming, manager of the National Sporting Club, came off to-nignt. The National Sporting Club was crowded. Barry scaled at 104 pounds and Croot at 104, the betting favoring the former. During the first ten rouads Barry did most of the scoring in a thoroughiy entific siruggle. Then Croot made a | determined stand and at the eighteenth rouna had almost equalized matters. When the nineteenth round opened Barry mmediately forced the work at a great pace and finished much stronger than his ooponent. ln the twentieth round Barry put in some excellent drives, and, with a crushing right-hander on Croot's jaw, knocked him out, when only forty sec- onds remained of the stipulated Iimit. Barry had just sufficient 1n hand to have secured a verdict had the contest reached | | its full 1ength, but tne decisive manner in which he finished his rival stamped him as a dangerous hitter. Croot remained unconscious so long that medical assistance was called.

Not the pictured Santa Claus of the books and newspapers, but a real, live Santa Claus, with his whniskers, busby hair and fur clothing. And he shakes hands with the children and talks to them just as the ideal Santa Claus should do. If you think this is not true, all you have to do is to go to the second floor of the immense ciothing-store of Raphael’s, at 9, 11, 13 and 15 Kearny street. The old feflow is sitting on the top of a chimney waiting patient!y for the littls ones down below to go to sleep. While he waits he passes the time in giving out to all who 20 to see him the besutiful picture cards which have been provided, teiling of the many advantages obtained by trading with the live tirm at whose store he wiil make his headquarters until aiter Decem- ber 25. To the left of Santa Claus in his store- room, where are p.led up in great confu- sion loads of toys of ail descriptions and { of suc.. character that the Yellow Kid ex- tends to the old fellow the ‘‘glad band” in appreciation of what he is doing for the little folks. To the right of Santa Claus is a bedroom sc ne with a crib containing two little zirls, who are lying with wide-open eyes watching for Santa Claus to make his ap- pearance. Papa is sitting by the firepluce waiting for the babies to 20 to sleep, while mamma stands in ber nightrobe at the bead of the bed trying to make the chil- dren close their eyes, and undoubtedly telling them that if they do not go to sleep Santa Claus will never come down the chimney. The scanes are very realistic ana at- tractive and the large crowd that thronged the floor ail yesterday afterno n was evi- dence that sich displays are appreciated by the people. —— Oiympia. The O.ympia is incressing in popularity and the big music hall is crowded every evening. Miss Helen Gordon, the Australian soprauo, and Max Daniels, tenor, were well received, and the Boston Laaies’ Milit their selections.

He Was Actively Concerned in Many Enterprises Connected With the Inland Commerce of the Country. Andrew 8. Bender, who died at the Crocker O!d People’s Home early Sunday | morning, was a civil engineer who was identified with important enterprises pro- moted tor the development of the inland commerce of the United States. | He was born in Boston in 1820, He! graduated from the Boston Latin School, FLORENCE GETS THE MILLIONS The Final Decision of the Famous Blythe Liti- gation, Judge Morrow Declares: That Florence Blythe-Hinckley Is the Heiress. The Question Involved Was Tkat of Her Right to Inherit Prop- erty in America. Once more a decision has been handed down in the famous Blythe case, and it looks as though the long litigation is really ended and Florence can sit down to a peaceable enjoy ment of the miilions— or at least to what is left of them after the lezal fees have been paid Judge Morrow yesterday granted the THE LATE ANDREW S. EENDER. [From an old photograph in the Bohemian Club album.] and subsequently took a thorough course | in studies of engineering and architect- ure. After some experience in railroad work in New England he became a divi- | | sion superintendent of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal. He was also an engineer of the work of butlding the Cumberland di- | vision of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road, and attended the celebration of the | completion of the road to the Ohio River | at Wheeling in 1852, { Major Bender came to California to| serve as assistant engineer at the Mare Isiand Navy-yard, Later on he was en- zaged as an engineer in the building of the Western Pacific Railroad. He bheld for six years the otlice of Deputy Surveyor- General of California. He was very well known in Sacramento and alwavs enter- tained a great liking for the people of that aty. Helived there when life was full of sunshine and good cheer. | = A man of refined tastes and superior literary attainments he found charming and ccngenial associates in a coterie com- posed of Newton Booth, Lucius H. Foote, Albert Hart, Lauren E. Crane, Mrs. Dunn, | Mrs. Glover and Mrs. McNel. At the solicitation of King Kalakaua | Major Bender went to Honolulu, accept- | ing the appointment of Chief Engineer of Pablic Works of the Hawaiian -kingdom. His duties there were agreeable and his | impressions of the isiands delightiuL. | About four vears ago Major Bender wrs knocked down on the sireel by a horse ai- tached to a street railroad caor. He was | taken from the corner of Market and | Geary streets 1o the Bohemian Club. The doctors found that his spine was injured. | The railroad people manifested the deep- est interest in the welfare of the patient and were kind enoughi Lo give the crippled man $500 to pay for his loss of time. Under the guise of friendship, the rail- road agent to whom the case wasassigned | obtaived from Major Bender his memoranda of the accident and a list of | the witnesses of the occurrence. The | major never again saw his list of wit- | nesses. It dawned on his mind that he | was crippled for lite and wouid never be | able to walk again. Damages could not be obiained from the railroad company, as the good Samaritan employed by the | corporation to look after the patlent bad | smucgled the sick man’s papers. As the spinal trogble grew worse the eyesight of the patient began to fail. Three years ago arrangements were made to give the major a room and care for life in tne | Crocker Old People’s Home. He had there every comfort that could be be- stowed. Kind friends visited him, read | to him and told him what was going on | in the world outside. Month by month | his afll.ctions increased. A year or so later ne became sione blind. Thus | paralyzed and sizhtless, he lay in bed for | more than a year, until death came as a | hanpy release. Major Bender was one of the founders of tue Bohemian Club, and during the first decade of the club’s life contributed to many of its literary functions. He wasa man of varied accomplishments, who had intimately known many men and women e:inent in music, art and | literature. His sense of ironical humor did not de- sert him in his distress. Oune day he told some of his friends of the Bohemian Club who were visiting him of a marvelous strokae of good fortune that had come to a man in a room on the floor above him. When asked to explain ihe nature of the | zood fortune, the major replied: “Why, be died last night.” Funeral services were observed at the home yesterday afternoon, The remarks of Rev. Mr. McKelvey, chaplain of the in- s:itution, were tendsr and beautiful trib- ntes to the uncomplaining spirit which Major Bender evinced in all the trials of his deciining years, H. M. Bosworth, orgzanist, rendered acceptable music. General Hough ton, Raphael Weill, Henry Marshall, Sidney M. Smith, Mr. Walker, Colin M. Smith, Theodore Payne, Warren Payne, Clinton Palmer and others escortea the remains 10 the uncertaker's. The body will be buried in the Stockion cemetery a.ongside the gravesof hi, wife and son. | One-fourth of the iand surface of the | globe is occupied by Engliah-lpelkim{l people. | of property in existence in this motion to s2t aside the decision of the Supreme Courtof July 3, and then handed down a lengthy opinion reversing the de- cision. His opinion, boiled down,is as follows: The contention brought was that the State court had no right to award the estate of Thomas H. Biythe o0 & non-resident alien,who is ineligibie to Lecome a naturalized citizen of the United States; that under a settied rule ate at the death of Thomas W. Blythe and descendant caste, the compiainanis were his hei:s-at-law, and the title to the real estate rested in them cointestate on the death of Blythe, and no court could afterward divest that title and vestitin another; that this courtis not pre- | cluded by the decision of the btate Supreme Court made in 1892 in the case oi Blyine vs. Ayres. The claim that the Superior Court of the State had no jurisdiction to award the estate of Thomas H. Bivthe to the defeundant, be- cause at his death she was a non-resident alien and ineligible to become & naturalized citizen, appears to involve u Federal ques for the reason that the inelieibility of a non-resident alien to hold properiy in the United States isa matter of treaty reguiation between the Fe eral Government and foreign powers, and the States are forbidden to enter into any treaiy stipulations. This naturally leaves the ques- tion of inheritznce to be determined by the State law and § courts. The novel doc- trine that in the absence of treaty regulations upon the sub, ght of an alien to in- nerit does not and tbe courts of the exist, State otherwise comyetent to pass upon this question are without jurisdiction, eannot be entertained at this period of our judicial his- tery. Some consideration must be given to the fact ihat heretofore this whole question of inheritance has by judicial acquiescence been lefi to the jurisdiction of the States and become u general rule of property right. The other propositions contended for oy the complainants are, for the same reason, deemed insufficient to take this case out of the general rute that, after a court of the Siate, with 1ull jurisaiction over property in its po session, has finaliy determined ail rights to that property. »urt of the United States will not entertain’ jurisdiction to annul such G cree and disturb rights once definitely deter- mined. But there is still another reason why this action cannot be maintained. It appears from the bill of complaint that when the originai bill was filed neither party was in possession of the land in controversy, but that it was in the hands of u public administrator. It foi- lows that while the possession of the adminis- trator continued, no decree for the possession of the real property in his custody couid have entered in favor of the complainants. But {t; appears that the nextday after the filing of ‘the original bill the defendant, Flor- ence, sccnred possession of the property, and she hias ever since continued in possession of the same. She was, therefore, in possession when the second amended and supp.emental bill was filed, and a xuit of ejectment wouid have afforded a plain, sdequate and complete remedy. As the view here taken of this feai- ure of the case disposes of the motion to dis- miss the bill it will not be necessary to con- | sider the question of parties and diverse citi- zenship. The bill of complaint will be dismissed. This disposes of what was considered thelast play of the lawyers for the Thomas Biythe Company and leaves the fortune with Florence unless the irtepressibie at- torneys have still another move left. At the Orpheum. Manager Wulter never disappoints his au- diences at tue Orpheum, but the bill for this week is above the average. The best of the old performers have been retained and five new acts areon. The European sensation, Czita, the gypsy violinist, fuifilled every ex- pectation, and ‘she he:d her audience in rapt attention with her skillful mastery of the bow. There is somethiug weird and ‘at times almost uncanny in_her playing that sends questionable sensations along the listener’s | spine. The Picchiaui sisters are wonderful acro- bats. Their contortions border on the mai- velous, and they undoubtedly excel anythisg yet seen in their line in this city. Paulivetti and Piquo are character gym- nasts and do excellent work and clever acting. The eccentric dancing of the De Fillippis was as well received as on their lormer visit, whlie the tumbling of Olschansky and Loring WAS up o their old standard. LeRov, Stunley and Jackson and 0. K. Sato made some changes in their turns, which were interesting. The Chutes. The programme at the Chutes Theater is loaded witn yariety and some of the turns are very clever.

Tivoli Opera — Alcazar Comedy — Bush Street Coons—Variety and Melodrama. Instead of furnishing fun for the flip- vant last night, Louis James went back into himself several seasons and recov- ered much of the Othello by which his best reputation is remembered. Iwentto the Columbia expecting something de- cidedly more than what I got. That is, I doubted that if in a :ingle night Mr. | James could come down to small earth and little people, and I wasmost willingly | surpiised by the frequent success with which be did. After last night’s experi- ence it is not extravagant to say that if | Mr. James could be weaned from the one- night stand ana the gushbing country critic, he would have his past to look for- ward to. Last night’s impersonation was very reminiscent of the original Louis James. | For most of the time Othello was tense and telling, of strong personality and suf- ficient sanity,and the reasons for his not be- ing so all the time were only the remnants of those silly ones of Mr. James that have been fostered during the last two vears. The most hoveful signal in Mr. James’ performance was that it improved act by | act. He etarted badly, with his voice in the lowest abdominal key and the inflec- tions so evenly observed that you might have danced to them. His address to the most potent, grave and reverend signiors wus altogether lacking in lightness and spontaneity. It was as heavy as these good gentle- men looked. It had neither sparkle .or spontaneity and surely nothing of the bridegroom’s happy pomp. But as plav progressed and Mr. James felt glow of the part he forgot the banal cution and tne galiery phrasing, and his mannerisms and vocal peculiarities were buried in the stre ss of the scenes. 1t is true he did not sound the note of ympathy as it might have been sounded, but he made Othello’s torture frightfuily | vivid, and toward the last he played with really magnificent brutishness. It 1< to the credit of Mr. James that he was not the entire performan that, so the the too talgnted little company, the play was presented with good taste and good sense. I have no sympathy with the persons who wouid rather read Shukesneare to themselves while another Booth is being born than et what is to bs had from an intellizent if not an inspired performance at the hands cf sec- ond-rate actors. 8o far as I am concerned it requires only sane reading and not too much acting to make as good entertain- ment of the plays of Shakespeare as may be made in similar circumstances of the playsof any clumsy modern play-writer. In last night's performance everybody seemed to try for the whole, and the whole was quite decently realized. What impressed me most in the indi- vidual work was the Isego of Barry John- stone. It wasin no sense a mcdel lago, for the finales of all the big speeches were flagrantly shouted, but in other places it had softness and humor and an easy col- loquial air that wasdelightfully aifferent. Mr. Johnstone avpearstobe a young man and last week he was a very bad | actor, but if he will keep his earsshut to | a great deal of what goes on around them | there is no reason why he should not do | something original and valuable o ] | cepted, he loses much in the portrayal of the same character atter his long sleep. Thomas Leary makes a most acceptable Nick Vedder, aud his dry humor wus particularly pleasing. Master Jeck Robertson and L Claire Fex, in their elicited as much applause as any of their seniors, and both give promise of brilliant futures. When John Raffael made his appearance he was greeted most hesrtily by the audience, which tendered hima warm welcome after his long absence from the singe during ‘he run of the “Geisha Girl ” R fiuel’s singin« lu indicated that his rest was bencficis voice, and he has seldom sung betie Salinger and Florence Wolcott received do ble encores several times, and as Tivoii audi. ences are generally critical their reception was an evidence of merit thatof two years ago ratner de ed 1rom the performanes, this being especially notic ab.e in the mountain scene.

Last night at the Baldwin Theater the Italian Opera Company commenced & | fortnight’s supplementary season with a ! performence of Puccin’s “La Boheme,” | the opera that was the triumpn of | the recent engazem: of this same | organization at the California. The at-| tendance was fairly lerge and largely en-| thusiastic, tie performance in every point up | 1o the best previcus record, and in the matter ne even som hing above it, for the Buldwin's stage has advantages over the California. . Last night, as in the earlier production. the four principnl psrts were interpretea by Mon- | tonari, Agostini, Viciniard Cioni,who all seem | to find the happiest expression of theiriartin | before, the subsidiary singers, the chorus and | Vaullini and his orchestra were also at their | best. 1t is gratifying to sce that the Italian com- pany is not going to repeat any o: the mana- gerial mistakes that marred the season at the California; only the more modern operas are nounced-for this season. is the bill for the week, with the exception of Thursday and Saturday nights, which wili be devoted to ““Otello.” At the A cazar: Frederick Paulding’s conception of the char- acter of Leopold Bunyon in “The Nominee” shows that he hes lost none of the orizinality which has elways marked hisacting in other plays. As he did in his rendition of Romeo, he departed from traditional lines and found much in the pert that other actors have missea. The company at the Alcazar is un- doubtedly stren; thened by the accession of Mr. Paulding, who will soon develop into a fa; ite. Wright Huntington as Jack Medford did the ve young man in his usual e1ry manner and the compiications that usually arise from doubie plays wers carried to their cone.usions with a keen perception of the humorous idea prevalent that the end of a comedy sjould be a general straightening out of tangles. Juliet Crosby played the role of the adven- turess to periection, while the other members of the compauy of favorites wera in parts for which tiey are particulariy adupted. The old nglish comedy iransformed to Amer can set- ting 1sone that is apprecisted by sli who know anything of the peculiar workings of politics.
