Bugbee Dies While Making a Political Speech in Alaska, SEATTLE, May 24. John S. Bugbee, formerly United States District Attorney for Alaska and one of the most prominent citizens of that Territory, died at Juneau May 16th as the result of a stroke of apoplexy, received while making a pacifying speech to a crowd of highly incensed men. The Republican Convention to elect delegates to the National Convention met May 14th and the night previous the Territorial Committee met and decided that the rules of 1888 should be in force. This allowed the Territorial Committee to name the temporary officers.

When the convention was called to order everything went smoothly until Fred D. Nowell, Secretary of the Territorial Committee, named John G. Heid as Chairman. At this there was a violent outburst and the independent movement, which was organized in the interests of Reed by George W. Dela-mater, who was beaten for Governor of Pennsylvania by Pattison, became evident, Heid took his seat and then the other party tried to install its chosen chairman, John S.

Bugbee. The hall as a scene of wild confusion and the tumult was something awful. There were many pistols in hip pockets, and at the tiptop of the excitement Mr. Bugbee arose and tried to pacify the crowd with a conciliatory speech. He stood on the same seat he had occupied as Judge, and, while speaking, was stricken with apoplexy.

He was removed from the hall and died two days later. The deceased was born in Nova Scotia, and was about 47 years of age. At the age of 3 he went to San Francisco, where he, later in life, engaged In the pactice of law. Being a young man of more than ordinary intellect he soon forged to the front in his chosen profession. He was for many years assistant City and County Attorney in San Francisco, and was a member of the law firm of Gai'ber, Boalt Bishop.

In 1889 he was appointed Judge of the District Court of Alaska, which position he held until 1892, when he was succeeded by Warren Truitt. Since his retirement from the bench Judge Bugbee has been a resident of Juneau, and was held in the highest esteem by the citizens of Alaska. Three sons and one daughter, Mrs. O. H.

Tarpley of Portland, are left to mourn his loss. Mr. Bugbee was a brother-in-law of Sydney Smith, president of the Alaska Packers Association. Before leaving California Judge Bugbee was connected with the Overland Monthly and was a writer of great ability. A Childs Horrible Death.

LOS ANGELES, May 23. Howard, the four-year-old son of J. W. Lam-berton, was fatally scalded this afternoon by falling into a tub of boiling lard. The child was playing in the rear of the City bakery, at Geary and Second streets.

The boy had been repeatedly cautioned against approaching the tub when it was filled with boiling lard, but in some manner he tripped and fell headlong into the seething stuff. His shrieks alarmed his father, who rushed forward and managed to draw the child out. The child died two hours after the accident. A Dime Murder in Chicago, Associated Press Dispatch to the Mail.

Overtures to France for Aid by the Government at Madrid. WASHINGTON, May 23. In the pinion of President Cleveland and Secretary Olney, a serious phase has been imparted to the question of the relations between the United States and Spain. They learn that Spain has made overtures to France for moral and material aid in the event of this government taking any aggressive action with regard to Cuba. If France has returned a definite reply to these overtures, the President and Secretary h9.ve not learned its character.

France has not yielded to the recent Importunities of Spain for additional loans. She would scarcely rupture her relations with this government with the erroneous idea that by helping Spain to retain possession of Cuba that bankrupt and broken-down monarchy would be able to meet its financial obligations to France.
