Ar the conclusion Of the performance
at the Opera House last night, party
OF eight men connected with the COM
pany started for the summit of Mount
Davidson for the purpose of illuminating
the city with calcium light. The party
reached the flagstaff at half-past II
o'clock, and Immediately set about the
task of lighting up their beacon fire. A
large crowd on G street watched this
strange spectacle with intense interest.
The calcium light, says the Enterprise,
resembIed very large and intensely
brilliant star. At times, when turned in
the right direction, the light was SO
strong when gazed upon from G street
as to dazzle the eye as would have been
done by the sun. The light was made
to assum various colors-as red, blue
and green. OF these the red light was
the strongest when seen from the city.
The light shed in town was not very
strong, yet could be seen very plainly
when turned full upon the side Of large
buildings. The night was magnificent
one for the experiment. There was no
moon, but little air was stirring, and the
sky was without cloud Gold Hill

OF New York, Rhodes, OF Philadelphia,

the Quaker Convention, which has con-
troll Of the Indian policy, and who have
recently been TO Lawrence, Ks, 10 exam.
inc into the conduct Of their agent, J. D.
Wites, arrived here yesterday, en- route
home. They say that from one hundred
to one hundred and fifty Cheyennes
and Arspahoes and a few ComAnches
constitute all the Indians now on the war
path in the southwest, and belong
wholly to the wild tribes. The late dis
turbAnces and cruelties have grown out
oI the fact that the buffalo hunters
and whisky sellers have frequently came
into the Indian Territory, and after
making the Indians drunk, stole their
ponies and escaped. They otherwise vi
olated the treaty of stipulations with these
Indians. The chiefs Of these tribes have
patiently endured these Oft repeated and
unredressed wrongs, but some Of their am.
bilious young men, stung by the tsrdinesa
OF redress, have taken the punishment oi
these people into their own hands and
have shown much cruelty and committed
excess in return. The Commissioners say
that Santsnta and Big Tree, who were
so long confined In the Texas Peniten.
tlGry, are true to their promises and main.
tain peaceable course In good faith.

A MurderOus Assault.

ST. PAUL, July 20.-Ex.Attorney Ger
eral Clarke, of Manitoba, was last evening
struck twice on the head with q slung-
shot in front ol the Metropolitan Hotel BY
some unknown person, who escaped
This morning as Clarke was leaving for
the East he was set upon by q crowd ol
rutiAns, Of Minneapolis, headed by Mike
hay, the Chief Of Police Of that city, who
beat and kicked Clarke saVSgely, and but
Tor the interference oi two Of our citizens
would probably have killed him. Clarke
was taken into the car and left on the
train, but II 10 feared 10 dangerously hurt,
being In poor health. Hay was arrested
and held for trial. He is one Of the Min.
nespolis party who were Imprisoned last
year at Winnepeg for an alleged attempt
TO kidnsp Lord Gordon, aud the murder.
Gus attack on Clarke was in revenge for
his action as public prosecutor In the
affair.
On the arrival Of the train at Hasson
a surgeon examined and reported one oil
his ribs broken and that he had sustained
other severe injuries. Clarke refused to
leave the tram after having his wounds
dressed and proceeded on his journey.
Fears are entertained oil serious results,
as he had hemorrhage yesterday morn
ing and Is In a delicate state Of health.
Alderman Glenn, ol Minneapolis was one
Of the hackers Of Hay in the assault and
will probably be arrested. The other as.
sailants have not been identified. The
feeling In this city is very bitter against
the perpetrators Of this brutal and uDjusti.
fable outrage, and the police authorities
are severely blamed for neglecting 10 pro.
