SERIOUS CUTTING AFFRAY
In thc Capitol Parlf-Arrest OF the
Alleged PerpefrRfOra.

Shortly before 2 o'clock Sunday morning
a young blacksmith, named Daniel Shehan,
was brought to Police Headquarters with his
throat cut and serious wound in his head.
He had been found by Private Watchman
Jerry Sullivan on the west grounds of the
Capitol, near the grotto, with cash in his
throat which bled profusely and fracture
Of his skull which rendered him uncon-
scious. He was attended at Police Head
quarters by Drs. Townsend and Elliott, and
then sent to Providence Hospital. 1t ap-
pears that soon after midnight Saturday
night Shehan, in company with George
O1enstein, Samuel German and John How
ard, quarreled in the Capitol grounds with
three colored men. A fight ensued and
Henry King, alias Keene, one Of tho
colored men, cut Shehan with razor in
the right side Of the throat and also In
the head. He also cut John Howard
on the chin. During tho melee tho watch
man came up and all the parties fled, leav-
ing Shehan bleeding on the grass. After
Sheban had been carried to Police Head
quarters John Howard went to Shehan's
home, on Ninth and B streets northeast,
and notified his friends. While the colored
men were fleeing near the Capitol, white
passer-by tripped up one Of them and placed
his foot upon him, but another colored man
came along with club and forced him to
release the negro, and both ran off together.
OGenstein went for the police and re-
turned with them to the scene Of the af-
fray. The police worked hard all night to
secure the assailants, and Officer Byrnes
succeeded in arresting William Foreman
and Andrew Harris, two of the three par
ties who made the assault. The negroes
claim that they were attacked.
Tho police of the Sixth Precinct con-
tinued their efforts to arrest the third of
the colored ruffians to-day, and early this
morning traced him to house in the north
eastern section, but he escaped before they
could arrest him. Warrants for assault
with intent to kill were sworn out against
the men already arrested.
Lieutenant Kelly says that the principal
parties have been arrested, and that there
is no doubt that William Foreman did the
cutting.
In the Police Court the cases were con-
tinued to await the extent of Sheehan's
injuries. Bail was refused.

NASHVILLE, Jan. 15.-General William B.

to-day, with imposing ceremonies ami firing

provingly to the emphatic expression of the
popular will at the ballot-box to pay that

that part of the debt known as the contingent,

decided vote, authorizes, in spirit

will be met in the spirit with which it is

Fire Chief Sextons Excellent Work in
Horse-Whipping a "Masher."

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 15.-Clay Sexton, chief of
the fire department, made himself famous
this evening, and has been receiving the con-
gratulations and thanks of his friends and
everybody else with whom he has come
in contact ever since. While driv-
ing up Olive street, between and 6 O'clock
with a friend, he observed a well-dressed,
stylish young man of the "masher' order,
accost two ladies, whose actions indicated
that they had been insulted by him. The
ladies hurriedly crossed the street and en-
tered store, and the man passed on. A
short distance beyond another lady was met
and spoken to, and enough of the scoundre's
remark was heard by Sexton to arouse
quick and intense indignation. Hastily
passing the reins of his horse to his friend,
be sprang from his buggy, seized the miser-
able wretch, and Delabored him with heavy
driving whip for fully ten minutes making
the contemptible creature fairly howl with

people, who cheered the stalwart chief to the
echo.

Their Fraudulent Character, and the Oppo-
sition Encountered.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Very little prog
ress was made by the Senate to-day upon
the tariff bill owing to their going into execu-
tive session at an early hour to discuss the
pending treaty with Mexico, by which it is
proposed to repay the We'll ard La Abra
claims. The best part of three days has al
ready been devoted by the Senate TO this
matter, which it was supposed would read
lily be disposed of; but the treaty has met
with almost unexpected and sturdy
opposition. The history of these
claims is a most peculiar one. Sew
eral years ago they were passed upon by a
commission, and although counsel for
Mexico protested that the evidence
on the part of the American
claimants was fraudulent, the commission
adjudged that Mexico must pay ST ,250, 900,
the payments to be made through the State
Department in installments. About $500, 600
have already been paid, but the State De-
partment, convinced that the claims are
fraudulent not only refused to make further
payments, but negotiated a treaty with
Mexico providing for a trial before a new
commission, with provision that in case
the commission shall find the claims wholly
fraudulent and that the payments already
made should not have been made, this gov
ernment shall not be held responsible, and
shall not be asked to refund the money.
With $S50,0oO at stake, it is quite natural
that the claimants should make a vigorous
resistance. 1t seems that they have sue
ceeded in enlisting the sympathies of several
senators, among them Mr.. VOORHEES,. The
matter has now been postponed until after

The Restrictions Proposed by England for
Its Joint Use by the Powers.
LONDON, Jan. 15.-A British note in regard
to Egypt proposes that, in order to avoid
abuse of freedom of the Suez canal, it shall
be enacted that in time of war limitation be
placed on the time during which the vessels
of belligerent powers are permitted to re-
main in the canal, and that no troops or mu-
nitions of war shall be disembarked and no
hostilities permitted in the canal or its APP
proaches, or anywhere in territorial waters
of Egypt, even in the event of Turkeys be-
ing one of the belligerents. The recurrence
of an emergency resembling the late re-
bellion is provided for by a clause
excepting measures for the defense
of Egypt from the above restrictions.
Every power shall be bound to bear the cost
of immediate repair OF any damage its YES
sells may cause in the canal. Egypt shall
take all measures in her power to enforce the
conditions imposed upon the ships of hellige-
rent powers using the canal. No fortifca-
tions shall be erected on the canal or in its
vicinity; nothing in the agreement shall be
construed as curtaling the territorial rights
of Egypt further than is expressly stipu-
lated.
Among other subjects, the note declares the

Strike of Coal Miners.

PITTsBuRG Jan. 15.-The convention of
river coal miners called to consider the
proposition of the operators to reduce the
price of mining from to 81 cents per
bushel, resulted in a refusal to accept the re-
duction and the adoption of a resolution
ordering suspension of all river mines until
such time as the operators conclude to pay 4
cents.
A convention of railroad miners was also
called for the 23d inst, when it is believed an
effort will be made to get them to adopt 4
cent rate, in order that the price may be uni

river miners will have but little immediate
effect as only one mine along the Monon-
gahela river is in operation on account of an
