ANOTHER HEIR FOR THE
 LANDS OF CHRISTENSEN
SISTER OF A HERMIT IS FOUND
 IN FAR IOWA.
Christensen's Estate Once Claimed by Man Who Declared He Found a Will Under a
 Table Cover.
Oakland omce San Francisco Call

908 Broadway, Nov. g.
 Andrew Trough of Haywards stands very little chance of getting the fortune left by the old hermit, Peter Christensen who died intestate on his ranch in San Joaquin County a few months ago. The attorneys who have been seeking absent heirs have discovered a sister of Christen- sen, who now lives in Iowa. Her power of attorney to Messrs. Delegh and Boards lee has been filed with the County Clerk at Stockton.
 Peter Christensen was brought up by An drew Krough's father and he frequently stated that he had left his estate, which is quite valuable, to Krough's children.
 Christensen died suddenly and no will could be found. A couple of months af ter his death ranch hand on one of the Christensen ranches claimed to have discovered the missing testament The discovery was said to have been made beneath an old table cover that had not been removed for years. The alleged will consisted of an old silver Treasury note, on one side of which was some writing which purported to give to the finder and to a few charities the whole of the Chris jensen properties.
 Much doubt was expressed in regard to the so-called wills authenticity and by some attorneys it was openly declared to probate and the finder has as yet made no demand for the estate.
 krough doubts the existence or the Sis- ter said to be now living in Iowa. He had known Christensen for a lifetime and he does not think he has a sister in this torneys have a letter from the Mayor of the town in Germany where the Christen- sens used to live and 1t may help to estab- fish the identity of the latest claimant.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

PARIS, Nov. 9.-To-day's session of the Peace Commission began at 2:15 D.. m. and ended at p. m. When the meeting opened the Americans present ed to their Spanish colleagues the an- swer of the United States to the claims submitted on Saturday last on behalf of Spain. The document in which the American answer was set forth consist ed of nearly fifty sheets of typewritten matter. It was a refutation of the Spanish allegation that because the words possession" ownership" or "cession" do not occur in the protocol clause touching upon the Philippine Isl- ands the Peace Commissioners have no right to discuss them here, and that even if they did so it must be in the light of the alleged fact of an exterior agreement that Spain's sovereignty should not be impaired
 The Americans also answered Spain'S claim for the restitution to her of pub lie money and customs collections taken by United States officials since the equalization of Manila, and made reply to Spain's claim for an indemnity on account of the alleged imprisonment by United States authorities of Span ish troops at Manila and for their sub- sequent restraint from being of service to Spain in the suppression of the in- surrection and the preservation of property.
 The American Commissioners in their reply held that there was justification, under the terms of the -rotocol, for the discussion of the future of the Philip pine Islands, and they also claimed that the occupation of Manila is a mili- tary occupation. which 1ustifies the United States in collecting the rev.

LOVES IMPATIENcE.
E. D. Osborn Obtains a Marriage Lii cense at Midnight to Wed None
 Vincent.

OAKLAND, Nov. 9-Edward Donald Osborn, an unassuming young man of San Francisco, created a slight sensa- tion in the Alameda County Clerks of fee, one minute after last midnight.
 Osborn stepped up to Cupid's desk yes terday and applied for marriage license to wed Miss None Vincent, also of San Francisco and aged g. Deputy County Clerk Charles Arnold advised the young lover that on account of election day he could not legally issue the license.
 Really it would be illegal to issue this license to-day said the deputy. You see, if 1t was but one minute past 12 to- night that'd be tomorrow, and then 1t would be all right
 Tt would? Well, all right" and with this reply the young fellow departed sud- denly. At just 12;01 this morning, while Arnold was enjoying a nap between the arrivals ofqthe election returns, Osborn further argument obtained his much sought-for license.

The members of the galloping division raced to rather light gate at Oakland yesterday, many enthusiasts of the game apparently being more wrapped up in the election returns than in the outcome of the different running events. And ,.4en the card was not an appetizing one, which fact did not help matters any
 The sport itself was of the fatiguing sort. Five favorites were laid away to rest, with a long string of the talent act ing as mourners. The ceremony was brief but impressive. The ring finally had a day.
