HENRY EVERS PASSES ATHOLIBS COVERED WITH At PLANT evidence of the President's tendency toward the usurpation of the Senatorial prerogatives and said that the President no more right to interfere with the Senate's consideration of the subject at this stage of the proceedings than the Senate would have had to interfere with' him while the treaty was in process ot preparation. When Senator Morgan completed his speech Senator Spooner took the floor, and, following somewhat on the lines of Mr. Morgan's remarks, took issue with the President on the substitution of the word "treaty" for "agreement," contending that the change was not an indica- 19 If ill If ill Aii. MSmlmWill Attempt Made to Destroy Crematory With A second explosion occurred at the plant of the Pacific Incinerating Company, located at Twenty-sixth and Magnolia streets, last night, which, like its predecessor, is believed to have been the work of miscreants. In fact, Superintendent V.

J. Melbourne said that the explosion was not unexpected, as he had been warned twenty-four hours previous that "something would be done." It is believed that a bomb had been placed in one of the refuse wagons" by one of the scavengers, 'who resist' 1 ed the injunction of the Federal Court, served on them yesterday morning. The explosion occurred about a half hour after the fire had been started in the furnace, which is used exclu sively for burning paper. This furnace is 30 feet long, 6 feet high and 6 feet wide. The head burner went to the' furnace.

in which the Are was going for the purpose of stirring the fire with a long iron poker. He opened the furnace door and was thus engaged when there was a sudden flash and loud noise, and the burner was thrown across' the furnace room and struck the opposite wall. The fall stunned him and when he regained his understanding of things the other em ployes had picked him up. He waTT badly shaken but will be all right in a day or so. He says that he remembers seeing a sparkling, sputtering light moving along in the furnace as a fuse might appear, just before the explosion.

The injury to the furnace was slight, being, principally the breaking of about five grate bars. Ever since the other explosion, which occurred about a month ago, the company has been takilig precautions to prevent just such an occurrence. It has been the rule to spread out every load of garbage which was brought in, and rake it over thoroughly in order to discover any explosives that might fee hidden in the wagons. Yesterday morning, however, this precaution was overlooked in the case of one load of paper, owing to the strong wind, that made such an examination difficult. This load of paper went into the furnace where the explosion occurred.

There are a number of furnaces such as the damaged one, and they are arranged in a row on one side of the plant. They are walled up with Are brick and a driveway runs along-level with the top of the furnaces. The of garbage are hauled up an Inclined plane to this driveway, which makes it convenient for feeding the refuse matter into the furnaces from the top. The exposure of the place where the garbage is raked over for explosives, to the wind, was the cause of the neglect of the examination in the case of the load of paper yesterday. WILD SCENE AT II.

As such, I do not think that they would receive the sanction of -this government. Personally, it is not my opinion that this Government; lacks the power tp enter into general: treaties of arbitration, but if I am in error, and if this Government has no power to enter into such general treaties, then it seems to me that it is better not to attempt to make them, ratheir than to make the attempt in sucih shape that they shall accomplish literally nothing whatever when made.

NEW YORK, February 11. Much damage has been done to summer cot-tages, wharves, landings and boat-houses along Rodkaway Beach by the heavy Ice and the action of the tide. Losses already have reached $50,000 and when the spring thaws occur it will be greatly increased. The ice freezing thickly around the Pes upon which the cottages are built has been gradually raised by the tides, carrying piles and all upward. In consequence cottages have been tilted on one end and some have already almost been overturned.

Wharves have been uprooted, while frail boat houses have been demolished. At some points the blocks of ice are four or five feet thick. BREAK INTO DYE WORKS.

If the De Beers Company, or "Diamond Trust," fails; to secure control of the newly discoA-ered diamond mine, the price of diamonds may drop materially. The possible production of South African diamonds has long been much larger than the market would absorb at present prices.

The trust's policy is to restrict output and advance prices. The Premier mine, near Pretoria, where the 3,032 carat diamond was found, is outside the trust. It is turning out all the diamonds it can mine and marketing them at the high prices created by the trust. "Last year it earned over 800 per cent dividend, and its stock is selling at 144 times par. Estimates of the diamonds in the Premier mine are that! the total production may be worth $600,000,000.

Unless the trust can sgoure control of this production there wrill be competition and the price must fafl. MR. DAVIS, THE jPULAR. James P. Davis, the popular merchant, lost a nickel because he could not distinguish a rooster from a hen.

THE POINT. The discussion showed a determination to stand firm in regard to the prerogatives of the Senate and to insist that ihe word "treaty" should be substituted for "agreement" in all the treaties, whieh is the crucial point in the contention be- tween thP President and the Senate The discussion, which was character- izod by expressions of highest regard for the President, was along the lines that the Senate could not. it it would, sur- I render its part of the treaty making i SENATE'S RIGHTS.

WILL NEW TRUCKS i HENRY After a valiant fight against pneu- monia, Henry Evers, one of the most prominent German residents in this city, died at his residence, 424 San Pablo avenue, yesterday afternoon. Mr. Evers had been ill for only a week, although he had been in poor health for nearly a year. Against the advice of his family and friends he still continued to attend to bis business, however, until he was seized with his last illness. Henry Evers was one of the oldest members of he German colony in Oakland, where he had lived for the last forty rears.

He was a prominent figure in political, fraternal and business circles. He enjoyed the confidence and respect of a large number of friends and acquaintances. Born in Bremen, Germany, 60 years ago Mr. Evers' ambition led him to seek his fortune early in life in a new land. Before he had attained his majority he came to America and forty years ago he came to Oakland to reside He first engaged in the grocery business and after a few years set up an establishment of his own at Seventh and Broadway streets.

He retired from this business shortly afterward to engage in that of under- BOARD OF WORKS PETITION OF BANDMASTER CONTINUED MATTERS BEFORE COMMISSIONERS. Tht Board of Public Works met yesterday afternoon and transacted its regular routine business. J. V. Hollister appeared before the board in behalf of the First Regimert Band, N.

A contract was exhibited signed by a large number of merchants who will pay the band for its services. Mayor Olney thought the matter might wait until the new board Is in power, as this is, he think, earlier than necessary for such arrangements.

McElroy said he believed in giving local bands an opportunity to compete wiui the San Francisco band for the privilege if any should so desire. Mr. Turner said that the printed programs were very objectionaole as they were torn up and scattered about tho park and even along the sidewalks and gutters further away. The board finally asked Hollister to present his petition at some future meeting, in order that other bands may have an opportunity to be; heard if they so desire. No resolutions to make any change or addition to the street lights were passec except one to move the light which is on Merrimac between Telegraph and Summit, to the northeast corner of and Merrimac, and to install a new lamp at Telegraph and Merrimac, not now, but when the funds are on hand.

Mr. McElroy said he thought it bad policy to move lights where it could lie avoided as there is always so much dissatisfaction aroused thereby. The matter of opening Sixtieth street was laid over for another week. COMMISSIONERS. The Board of Police and Fire Commissioners met yesterday afternoon, all members' present.

The following business was transacted. Seven demands on ponce fund, Ji4i.5r iour cemanas on nre iunu, iwj demands on fire alarm and police tele- graph fund, $9.45, were approved and allowed. The report of the fire chief for January was received and filed. Chief Ball reported that the automatic "electric lights which are used in the engine house are more satisfacrery and cheaper than the gas lights.
