A PREMATURE BLAST
 BRINGS INSTANT DEATH
A QUARRYMAN HURLED INTO
 ETERNITY.
Was Afhxing a Fuse When the Ex- plosion Occurred-His Body
 Terribly Mangled.

Another life was lost yesterday through the premature discharge of a blast. The accident occurred in a quarry at South San Francisco, and the man killed was Foreman Burns.
 It was about o'clock in the afternoon that the explosion took place. A large body of rock in the side of the quarry was drilled for the purpose of rending it and Burns, who was in charge of that part of the work, was preparing the blast. He had placed the deadly explo- sive within the hole, and was about to attach the fuse when, by some unknown cause, the charge went off, and the un- 100 yards. He must have been instantly killed as nearly every bone in his body was broken and he was terribly mangled.
 The deceased was formerly In the en- ploy of Gray Bros. of this city, and al- ways bore the reputation of being a care ful and conscientious workman.

The Populists of Alameda County have not very good opinion of themselves. Some of their leaders have the worst kind of opinion of Populism such as 1t is to- day. In the county convention held at Grand Army Hall yesterday three-quar- ters of the many hours the session lasted were passed In quarreling and in heaping ridicule upon themselves.
 M. D. Hougham, 6 delegate from the Forty-eighth Assembly District, openly declared that the party in that county to- day Is being run by gang of boodlers and off1ce-hunters who have no regard whatever for the principles of the party they profess to serve.
 Ex-Assemblyman Bretz openly declared that he did not wish to be a State Central Committee man, because as such he would be assessed probably $50, which would be equivalent to a donation to the Demo- cratic party.
 The two factions-fusionists and middle f-the-road-men-were about evenly di- vided, with perhaps a spare vote or two in

has been done to call in the bonds. For this reason the syndicates, which both Pearson and Stanton represent, sent them to negotiate for the, refunding of this bonded debt. They offered to advance the s4,OO0OOO and to pay a premium of s40O,- 900 if the Hawaiian government would &C., cept their terms. In addition to this they proposed to lend s750,0OO to call in a late issue of bonds. The terms of the New York f1nanciers demanded the control of new bond issue for twenty years at the rate of Az per cent interest per annum. The Hawaiian Legislature passed bill for new issue, but the conditions impos- ed were so unfavorable for the New Workers that they refused to accept un- less an amendment was made.
 Pearson and Stanton evidently represent hnancierS who saw an opportunity to place big sums of money for profitable rate of interest on secure investments. It looks as if annexation was foreseen and venture was fioated on the strength of 1t.
 The failure of the mission of the two agents Is charged indirectly to the fervor of the annexation spirit. Had the refund- ing of the Kalakaua issue been obtained these bonds would have become United States securities upon annexation.

REFUNDING WAS NOT

BIG SCHEME FOR A NEW HA-
 WAIIAN BOND ISSUE.
New York Financiers Sent Repre-. sentatives to Honolulu, but They Failed to Carry Out
 the Programme.

Henry Pearson, representing the Ed ward C. Jones Company of New York, and w. Stanton. representing a syndicate of New York f1nanciers, have just returned from Honolulu, where they were engaged in a vast business venture, which, how ever. proved unsuccessful. An attempt was made to induce the Hawaiian govern ment to refund the bond issue of S4,00O 900 under the dynasty of Kalakaua.
 These bonds were originally issued for twenty years with the option of pay ment at the expiration of the tenth year. The bonds drew six and half per cent. As soon as the issue was made Lon don financiers absorbed the bonds as the investment was considered very strong. The first ten years have lapsed and little

politics himself, and thought he knew his own mind. The issue will be watch ed with particular interest, and the promise of a raising of the gold dust at the Mint was never better.
 There is a tale of a trick turned in the institution recently which Is new and good, although 1t has nothing to do with the main wrangle. During a rush in June caused by the necessity of coining money for Manila twenty extra women were hired, all of them working daily from s to 6, this being three hours overtime as time is reck- oned in Uncle Sams hints. They con- tinued until June 26, when work was suspended until July 6. Chief AdjuSter Montgomery, who adds to his other du- ties that of being a mouthpiece for Spotts called them together the even ing of the last day before vacation. He complimented them highly on their ser vice. He assured them that they were the lovliest girls ever employed. Nat urally they thought this a prelude to an offer of extra pay for their extra ser vice. At the conclusion of his speech Montgomery handed to each a piece of paper. Each opened the document hopefully. In each instance it was a formal dismissal.
 There is a sequel to this. At the end of the vacation the women were sent for and put in their old places They are filling these now. By a neat subterfuge Spotts had stopped their wages for ten days, and saved some thing to enable his Uncle Sam to carry on the war. But the women wonder why the men enjoyed the same vaca- tion on full pay

favor of the fusionists. F. J. Gregory led the Mcguire fusion faction, while A. A. ! Bretz championed Populism. These two men are both editors; each issues week i ly paper, and the battle between them | lasted through several ballots. The real 1 test of the strength of the two factions came with the election of State Central Committeeman. J. l.. Moore and Douglas Fowler were elected on the first ballot. | The choice of the third man lay between Gregory, Bretz and B. F. Calhoun. Two | or three ballots were taken without a choice, and then BretZ withdrew No notice was taken of his withdrawal, and the battle continued till motion was en- man of the three (CalhOun). Another bal l lot was taken, but before it was counted Bretz positively withdrew. There was an idea prevalent that he had been beaten. and the friends of Gregory evidently wanted to have 1t known, so they forced the counting of the ballot, and 1t was found that Gregory had obtained just one vote more than was necessary to choice. The fusionists elected D. T. Fowler chair man.
 Every possible advantage was taken to provoke debate. John Gelder, even after a recess had been proposed, asked permis- sion to address the delegates and to con demn the manner in which a certain fac ton had demoralized the party and deliv- cred it to the Democrats. After few moments of vivid oratory condemnng the fusionists, MT. Gelder sat down. NJ. D. Hougham fired some redhot shot at the fusionists and his ideas were shared by most of the older element in the conven- ton.
 Charley White. son of the Sheriff, was a stanch supporter of the fusion people and with him were most of the younger element. including Attorney Meyer and J. Aubrey Jones.
 MT. Meyer was fortified in his attack against Bretz with an extract from Mir. BretZ's paper, which read "Notwith- standing the supreme and bitter contempt in which the writer holds the Republican party, he will In the event of fusion sup port it by ballot and pen. He will do

POPULIST DELEGATES.
Vacancies in the City's Representa- tion to the State Convention
 Filled Up

The executive committee of the Peo- ple's party met last night to appoint del egates for the vacancies in the list of delegates for the State convention at Sacramento. At the last meeting of the city committee the executive committee was empowered to fill all such vacancies occurring by the inability of the members elected to attend. T. V. Gator was se- lected vice F. A. Street, Carleton H. Johnson vice T. H. Hatch, T. H. Porter vice R. H. O'Hea. This will give the an- ti-fusionists a voice in the convention.

Supervisors Sit as Eoualizers.

The Board of Supervisors met yesterday as a Board of Equalization to pass upon the application made by property who asked for reduction of the assess ment levied by Assessor Siebe. All of the applications came from property owners who have been assessed from $500 to $50OO In few instances the reductions asked for were allowed, but fully 90 per cent of the original assessments were allowed to stand. No complaints have thus far been received from the corporations, and but few if any protests will be made. The Supervisors will meet again tomorrow afternoon at o'clock to pass upon the applications not heard yesterday.

POPULISTS DO NOT ADMIRE
 EACH OTHER
The Party Said to Be Controlled
 by Political Boodlers.
Bretz of Alameda Declares It to Be Branch of the Democracy for Fusion
 Purposes.

"Old Pard" Bassett had very little to say; in fact MT. Bassett Is not so much of a speaker es a writer, and Populists in ty, have not patience enough to listen to writings. George Toyne, the silver cham pion from Haywards, who has lived In his Yorkshire dialect, was one of the sec retaries and was so engrossed with his work that he did not realize until the con- vention had adjourned that he had not made half the speeches he has prepared since the last county convention.
 M. D. Hougham spoke at some length on a motion to curtail the number of county committeeman at large. He declared that large committee was not necessary and was cumbersome. Then MT. Hougham launched out. He declared that boodlers and had disorganiZed 1t for their own per sonal ends. He charged that these were yided, they could serve themselves MT Hougham said many bitter things against the fusion section of the party, but men toned no names, although his descriptions were so detailed that those on the floor must have had an inkling of the identity of the delegates to whom he referred. ture for the party. He declared that there were only few of them left and that they were so divided among themselves that the smaller and smore efficient the county committee, the better it would be for all concerned.
 The county committee, as elected by the u44LeIeut ASSeHlDly ulSlrlctS, IS as 1OllOWS:
 Forty-sixth Distrct-George Toyne G. w. Kraft N. P. Nelson. M R. Lyle. Mir. Van Horn.

 We advocate peace through the success of American arms ia the present Spansh-Aneri- can that Is being waged in the interests Of the downtrodden people Of unhappy Cuba, and we sincerely hope that peace will be uni versal and perpetual. And in this connection we unalterably condemn the issue of interest bearing bonds by this Government in times of either peace or war. and demand that all ex- tra and extraordinary expenses of this Gov ernment be borne by the issuance of full legal tender, non-interest bearing Government pa per money.

A Wise Resolution.

Philip McGovern, 147 Cook street, was arrested Friday night for betraying Lena Rebstock, 1874 Central avenue, under promise of marriage. A nights reflection in prison made him resolve to marry the girl, and an application was made to Cupid Danforth for the necessary license. It was refused, as McGovern is only 20 years of age, but he soon obtained his fathers consent and the marriage took place. The case was dismissed in the Police Court.

 MT. Bretz declared that he still harbored the sentiments and that anybody who wanted to join the Democrats could do so and renounce playing the game of Pop ulistic hypocrisy.
 J. w. Dutton was on hand distributing some of his clever little poems. One or two of the compositions of the ex-deputy sheriff contained merit enough to suggest that MT. Dutton could put his talent to lsm.

Whittier Is proud of many of his pos sessions, but there Is one who Is dearer to him than the fabled treasures of the Arabian Nights tales. and that is his wife This is evidenced by the unfaltering acquiescence of the husband in regard to the wife's dressmaking bills. Mrs. Whit tier has been passing great portion or her time at the fashionable modistes' of late, and MT.
