STATE SENATOR'S.
The Question of HoId-Overs to b
Taken to the Supreme Court.

The Question of HoId-Overs to be
Taken to the Supreme Court.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. ia petition
was filed in the Supreme Court to-day
that will probably settle the question as
to whether or not there must be an cleo
ton this year of Senators from the even
numbered districts. This has been a
much-mooted question ever since the
reapportionment of the State by the last
Legislature.
f. S. jennings, who resides in San
Diego County, is the person who filed
the petition referred to, and the petition
is nothing more nor less than an applica-
ton for writ Of mandate directing the
Governor to order an election for Senator
in the Fortieth District.
According to an Act of the Legislature,
approved March s, 1888, the Fourth
Senatorial District included San Diego
and San Bernardino Counties. In No
vember, 1850, II. NJ. Streeter was elected
Senator from that district to serve four
years.
In March, 1891, the Legislature reap
portioned the State and made the Fortieth
Senatorial District include San Diego
County alone. Streeter lives in San
BernardIno County.
Jennings takes the ground that San
Diego will have no representative in the
Legislature unless there be a special cleo
ton called. He made that request of the
Governor on Friday last, but it was re-
fused.
In concluding his petition jennings
says: That relatOr further says that he
makes this affidavit for the purpose of
procuring a writ of mandate to be issued
out OF the Supreme Court of said State to
the Hon. III. II. Markham to require him,
as Governor Of said State to at once issue
writ of election, or election proclama-
ton, for a special election in said Fortieth
Senatorial District, as now constituted.
to ill the vacancy now existing in the of
fee of Senator in said Senatorial Dis
trict."
AS the Senators in the odd numbered
districts must be elected this year it will
be seen that the entire Senate must be
voted for il the Supreme Court issues the
mandate as petitioned for by jennings.
The question is one of very considerable
Importance.
The matter will be heard before the Su-
preme Court at 10 o'clock on Wednesday
morning.

by the steady growth of the State. 1t
may possibly also be true that there has
been few less strikes during the past
two years. but this may be attributed to
moderation and the good judgment of
our labor organiZat ons rather than to
the effect Of any taritflaw.
Il know this mlIch-the Democratic
party is entirely content to permit every
workingman whose wages have been in
creased since the passage of the McIlin-
ley bill to vote the Republican ticket if
our opponents consent that all those
whose wages have not increased vote the
Democratic ticket and upon that basis we

the Yellowstone National Park, with its
high altitude, aggravated it. For the past
three weeks he has been unable to sleep,
and although never taking to his bed, he
gradually sGccumbed to complicated dis
orders ofheart and lungs. Mr.. Spence was
one of the most prominent and valued
citizens of Southern California. His large
means and public-spirited character made
him especially useful to the community.
He was 80 years old and a native of Ire
land. He came to California in 1852, and
engaged in mining in Nevada County.
He was one Of the Republican minority
in the Legislature in 1861. and at one time
Treasurer of Nevada County. He was for
some years engaged in banking at San
Jose, and subsequently at San Diego.
For the past sixteen years he has been
citizen of Los Angeles, and President of
the First National Bank. He has taken
prominent part in municipal affairs as a
member and President Of the City Coun-
ell, and as Mayor of the city. He stood
in the front rank of the Republicans in
Southern California, and took a promi-
nent part in the Minneapolis Convention
as an advocate of the denomination of
President Harrison. His death is recog-
nized as great loss to this community.

Officers in Hot Pursuit of Evans and
Sontag.

SOnJaE.
VIsALIA, Sept. 19.-One posse in pur-
suit of Evans and Sontag was heard of
to-day. They claim to have run the des-
peradoes out of Sampson Flat, and to
Pine Ridge. 1t is thought that Evans
and Sontag are making for Redwood Can
yon, an almost impenetrableg gorge. Clark
Moore, mining partner of Evans, who is
under arrest, will probably not be taken
to Fresno yet, and given chance of
habeas corpus, as he can be better used
in the hills with the posse. Sheriff Kay
and posse arrived at Sequoia Mills last
night, and started on the trail this morn
ing. A man just from the mountains
says there is a change of sentiment re-
garding the outlaws since the killing of
Wilson and McGinnis, and numbers who
would have betriended them now say
they will do what they can to deliver
them to the officers.
Constable j. G. Ashman, one of Hens
ley's posse, returned from Sampson Flat
yesterday. The most important informa-
ton he brings is that Evans and Sontag
have left the Sampson Flat country and
country and gone to Eshem Valley, about
fifteen miles to the northeast. Eshem
Valley is rougher locality than the Flat
and still more sparsely settled. Evans
used to have ranch there, and he knows
the country thoroughly. Sheriff Hensley
and other officers left for Eshem Valley
yesterday.
About twenty-five officers are in the
mountains now, and the trails are being
thoroughly guarded. If the robbers at
tempt to return to Sampson Flat they
will be either captured or killed There
is a likelihood that an effort will be made
to drive the robbers to locality where
they have no friends and can get no pro-
visions or ammunition.
Ashman says there is no truth in the
rumor that Woody was killed by the
robbers. 1t is also untrue that Sheriff
Hensley found a sack Of Sontag's ammu-
milton in a corn field at Young's house.
There is much difference of opinion
among officers as to the blood found on
the corn stalks. Some say it is Evans,
other Sontag's, and others still believe it
the blood of either Clark or Moore, who
is suspected of having given the robbers
information OF the movements of the
officers.
