ALAMEDA, Oct. 9.—Henry Bense died this morning at his residence, 1424 Park street, at the age of $2 years, from ail- ments incidental to old age. Mr. Bense Was a native of Massachusetts and came to this coast in 1849. He went to the mines, where he had fair success. He subsequently enlisted in the army and fought through the war. Returning to this coast, he engaged in business at Crescent City, and resided there for years. About ten years ago he came to this city and had lived here ever since. He was in receipt of a pension for dis- abilities incurred during his service. De- A stranger to Oakland called on a clty official last Saturday, telling him he had a couple of hours to spare and asked where he could pleasantly spend the time. “We have no park, no public museum, no pic- ture gallery, the public library is closed Just now, but there is the lake——"" The official Was saying when he was inter- ake erritt—that cess; 2% the man from Los Angcles.;:)noé thi-"rikaeg adjournment was taken to a saloon, where the official told the visitor that we had recently witnessed half a dozen po- litical conventions and that there are more independent candidates for office than even Oakland has known in the past, and that there were sev.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Oct. 9. Coroner Baldwin and a jury will next ‘Wednesday night inquire into the death of John McKee, who died at Fablola Hos- pital last Friday night from injuries sus- tained at the new sugar refinery at Crockett on Wednesday last. Deceased came by his death in rather a peculiar manner. He was passing by a lime kiln, on the top of which several | men were working, when a heavy slédge- hammer, being lowered by one of the other workmen by means of a line, slipped, and, falling a _distance of about twenty feet, struck McKee on the top of the head, knocking him senseless and injuring him fataily. Deceased was 42 years of age and a native of Baltimore. He formerly re- sided at Vallejo. Coroner Baidwin to-day also received death of another of the four men in jured by the gas explosion at Tesla coal mine last Tuesday. Axel Norl died from his injuries yesterday, and to-day Joseph Patton died under similar circumstances. Inquests will be held to-morrow at Liv- ermore. Patton was aged 40 years. The two others Injured in the explosion are still in a critical condition. | FRIGHTFULLY BURNED BY A BLAZING LAMP | INSENSATE DEED OF DRUNKEN 3 WOMAN. ‘ iz | Mrs. Mularkey Hurls a Lighted | Lamp at Mrs. Mettie Suits With Fatal Result. Mrs. Mettie Sults, who conducts a lodg- ing house at 1046 Folsom street, was prob- ably fatally burned at 1 o’clock this morn- ing by blazing oil from a lamp that was | hurled at her by Mrs. Jane Mularkey, one of her lodgers. Between midnight and 1 o'clock Mrs. Sults heard a commotion in the room of | Mrs. Mularkey, and, lighting a lamp, she | went downstairs to investigate. | At the door of the woman's room she met Mrs. Mularkey, who also carried a | lighted lamp, which, with no more | warning than a furfous oath she hurled at her landlady’s head. It struck the lamp she carried and both exploded. The blazing oil set fire to the wrapper | worn by Mrs. Suits, who ran shrieking into the back yard followed by her daugh- | ter Alice, who succeeded in stripping her mother of the burning clothing. Mrs. Suits was frightfully burned about the neck and and is not expected to live. | Mrs. Mularkey was immediately ar- rested upon a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. She denied thrown the lamp, but there are numerous witnesses who bear out Mrs. Suits' story. SPAIN DESPAIRS OF FOREIGN ASSISTANCE | Believed the Peace Commission Will Complete Its Work Before Congress Meets. NEW YORK, Oct. 9.—The Washington correspondent of the Herald says: From dispatches received from Chairman Day the authorities here are still of the opin- | ion that the work of the Peace Comission will be completed before Congress meets. Mr. Day takes quite an optimistic view of the situation. Tt is his desire to limit the time of discussion of various points raised as much as possible in order that clusion. Information which has been re- ceived here shows conclusively that Spain has no further hope of foreign interfer- ence, and this fact leads the authorities to believe that she will not attempt to drag the negotiations out as long as she would if she believed there was a chance of any European government attempting to secure a modification of the American term: LONDON. Oct. 10.—The Madrid_corre- spondent of the Times says it is the pre- vailing opinion there that the Paris ne- gotiations are not proceeding with the smoothness that is desired. The Govern- ;nent, it is understood, shares this opin- on. SENSATIONAL RUMOR COMES FROM SAMOA Presence of a British Warship Pre- vented the Hoisting of the German Flag. VANCOUVER, B. C, Oct. 9.—The statement comes from Somoa, per steam- | er Warrimoo, that had not H. M. S. Ring- dove been at Apia when King Malietoa dled the Germans would have hofsted the German flag and seized the island. The rumor must be accepted with reserve. Just before Malletoa succumbed to typhoid fever he was removed to the residence of the late R. L. Stevenson, but the change produced no improvement and he was brought back and died. The Consul of the tripartite powers fs- sued a proclamation to the natives an- nouncing the King's death and requesting them to live peacefully in their homes until the election of a successor. Malietoa jeft no will nor did he indicate who should succeed him. MANY EPISCOPAL SERMONS. | Eminent Divines Occupy Washing- ton’s Pulpits. WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—Prominent cler- gymen of the American Episcopal Church | occupied the pulpits of every church of | that denomination in the city to-day. In nearly every one of the churches at least’ one sermon was preached by a bishop and in some as many as three of these lead- ing divines delivered sermons or ad- dresses. Insane Rancher’s Mania. 1LOS ANGELES, Oct. 9—Andrew Koonz, a rancher of Burbank, came to the city to-day imbued with the idea that he is commanded by the spirits to burn all the church buildings in town. Luckily he made known his intentions before be- inning operations, and was glncefl in the ity Jail. He telephoned to Bishop Mont- gomery to come and bail him out. He will be examined for insanity to-morrow.

DEMOCRATIC GAINS LIKELY WILL NOT OVERCOME THE PRESENT MAJORITY. Lack of Interest in the Present Con- tests One Obstacle to the Suc- cess of the Party in Power. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—The Wash- ington Post will present to-morrow in a serfes of dispatches from correspond- ents in every State in the Union except Maine, Vermont and Oregon, where Congressional elections have already been held, a view of the political situa- tion with especial reference to the com- plexion of the next House of Represen- tatives. In summarizing its dispatches the Post says: While Democrat gains are outlined in many States the figures glven by the correspondents of the Post do not yet make it positive that the Republicans wiil lose control of the House. There is at present in the House of Representa- tives a Republican majority of fifty-six over all parties combined, and this large majority will be difficult to completel overcome. There is no doubt that it will be reduced to a very small number, but the present indications do not point to its entire disappearance. 2 The estimates made by the Post's cor- | respondents show that 156 districts in the United States will certainly be Republ can in the approaching election—unles the unexpected happens—and thirteen additional districts will_give the Repub- licans a majority of the House. According to the Post's advices there are no less than forty-two doubtful dis- tricts, the large number being in a great measure due to the caution of the Post’s correspondents_in declining to place in {he certain column any district which contains an element of doubt. Out of this forty-two, however, there are at least twenty districts in which the chances are said to favor the Republicans. For in- stance, there are districts in Massachu- setts, ‘Maryland, Delaware, New York, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan and Wy oming which are classed as doubtful, but which the Republicans will ~probably With 166 districts assigned with carry. certainty to the Republicans, as against 128 assigned to the Democrats, according to the Post’s figures, the party in power has an easier path to travel to the de- sired goal. The Populists are given thir- teen seats and the Silver Republicans our. o0l the correspondents of the Post agree in_their statements as to the shown everywhere i{n the coming athy o o and that this lack of intrest elections, |is the one great obstacle to Republican success. All efforts are now being made to get out the vote, and the campaign is undoubtedly becoming enlivened. The Democrats are encouraged by their fight- ing chance, and the Republicans, appre- ciating the danger that threatens, are vigorously laboring to impress upon their voters the necessity of casting every bal- lot at the poll FIRST NEW YORK MOT | EN ROUTE TO MANILA WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—Concerning the | published story that the First New York was en route to Manila to reinforce the American troops already there, the War Department to-night made public the fol- Jowing dispatch from Major General Mer- | riam, commanding the Department of the | Pacific: | € C Ppratt, Stanford SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 9.—Adjutant Gen- eral, Washinton, D.
