EXCITEMENT IN A SALOON.
A Bullet Fired Through q Window o
South Main Street.

Bullet Fired Through q Window On
South Main Street.
The sharp report of a pistol shot
startled people on South Main street, al
the junction of Scovill, about 4:3O
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The shot
was fred from the saloon of H. w.
Reed, opposite Holohan's block, and a
crowd soon flocked to the scene.
Michael Hayes, the bartender, was seen
back of the bar with a smoking re-
volver in his hands. The shot had
penetrated the cloth screen in front of
the window and had passed through
the plate glass. The bullet struck
against stone pillar at the corner of
Mr. Holohan's building.
A DEMOCRAT reporter called at the
saloon Immediately after the occurrence
and asked Hayes how It occurred. He
refused to say, referring the reporter to
at $50. When Mr. Reed returned he
asked Hayes about the affair, but he
would tell him nothing. Hayes was
discharged.
Hayes afterward told a friend that
two men came into the saloon and asked
for beer, saying that they wanted ia
right away. He said, "In minute. u
"You give it to us now" said one of the
men pulling out a revolver. Hayes
said he pulled his A calibre revolver
from under the bar and fred at the
mem
Mr. Reed was very anxious to find out
the particulars and in company with a
DEMOCRAT reporter set out to clear up
the mystery. They found business man
who had witnessed the whole affair.
He said: "Two of Reeves musicians
were drinking at the bar and talking
about the west. Hayes told them about
his experience in st Paul and showed
them his revolver. He was swapping
the revolver in a careless way, when 1t
went off. The men ran out of the
saloon. There was no trouble"

BEARING SEA TREATY.
Discussed by the Foreign Affairs Commit
tee-NO Action Taken.

Discussed by the Foreign Affairs Commit
tee-NO Action Taken.
WASHINGTON, March 10-The Behr ing
Sea arbitration treaty sent to the Senate
yesterday by the President and referred
to the Committee on Foreign Affairs was
discussed by the Committee, but no &C
ton was taken.
There was general agreement that it
won Id be well to wait the receipt of cor
respondence in the matter before decid-
ing what it should recommend. 1t is
explained that the correspondence might
contain some kilograms or other COM
munications received as late as yester-
day which would throw new light on the
matter and decide the disposition of the
treaty by the Senate.
From the expressions of opinion at the
meeting, it was apparent that an almost
general belief existed that if England re-
fused to a removal of the motlus vivendi
during the pending of the arbitration
proceedings the Senate would refuse to
ratify the treaty.

The SEAL TROUBLES
Waiting for a Reply to Presi-
dent Harrison's Note.
MUCH INTEREST MANIFESTED
State Department officials Gratifisd at
the Present View of Their Claims.

Suggestion That the shore Limit Be
Fifteen Miles Instead OF Three Miles,
which is Now the Recognized Limit Of
JurisdictiOn-The Senate Committee on
Foreign Affairs VIII Await the Receipt
of the Correspondence Before Any
Further Action 10 Taken.
WASH INGToN, March 10. - With the
transmission of the recent correspon-
deuce on Behring Sea matters to Con-
gress, and the publication of the treaty
of arbitration yesterday, there is nothing
now to do but wait for Lord Salisbury's
rel l ; to the note sent by President Har-
rison. 1t is awaited with considerable
interest. not to say anxiety, and it is
hoped that the document may be re-
ceived in time for consideration at the
Cabinet meeting tomorrow.
The emphatic note of Minister Phelps
to Secretary Bayard, which accompanied
the correspondence yesterday, is con-
sidered by the officials of the State De-
partment as most gratifying support
of their claims, especially as it comes
from ole of the opposite political faith,
and representing a different administra-
ton. A suggestion was made that the
President in enforcing protection, adopt
a shore limit on the North Pacific coast
of fifteen miles, instead of three miles,
which is now the universally recognized
limit of jurisdiction, This suggestion is
based upon the principle that country
may hold jurisdiction of SO much, of the
surrounding ocean as it can defend.
In earliest times, the belt was meas
ured by the distance to which an arrow
could be shot, and last of all by the dis
lance which a cannon could propel a
shot-then three miles. Now, ipasmuch
as the new guns will carry projectile
fifteen miles, it is argued that the belt
of jurisdiction should be extended to
meet the changed conditions. But it is
not probable that the President will
initiate any such innovation upon the
established order of things. 1t will
doubtless be found that the United
States will rest upon its claim of jurisdic-
ton over the Behring Sea and go before
the arbitrator upon that, uncompro-
missed by any attempt to lord it over an
area of ocean not recognized by the pow
ers of the world.

DISTRICT COURT DECISIONS.

Another Chapter in the Case of John
Shanahan Against the City.
Judge Bradstreet to-day rendered the
following district court decisions
In the case of Seanahan VS. the city,
the demurrer to the second defense is
sustained. The demurrer is with
reference to the matter of dissolving the
injunction brought by the plaintiff re-
straining the city from taking his land
in Brooklyn. The city wants the i'm
junction dissolved. Attorney O'Neill,
Shanahan's counsel, entered demurrer
to the second defense on the ground
that the defendant did not allege that
Shanahan had been paid for his land.
The ruling of Judge Bradstreet simply
makes the defendant change the allie
cations. The case will now probably be
tried on the question of dissolving or
continuing the injunction.
In the case of Clyma vs. Kennedy ct
al, the demurrer to answer is overruled.
This is Naugatuck case in which Edi-
tor G. R. Clyma of the Naugatuck Citi-
zen sued Attorney William Kennedy
and others, alleging false imprisonment.

INHUMAN CRUELTY.


by Inches. IL
BUFFALO, N. Y, March 1O.-Frofr
Spring Brook, little town just east Of
this city, comes q shocking tale of the
inhuman treatment received by a sick
child. A family named Cavan, which
recently came to Spring Brook from
Canada, had one child, q lad beGweeH
three and four years old.
About week ego the child was taken
sick and a woman named Bronson, OF
East Aurora, who advertised herself as q
doctor was called in to attend the child,
After several visits abe announced that
the child had diptheria, and that it could
not get well.
According to the story told by J. j..
Grace, q neighbor of the Cavan's. Mrs.
Bronson ordered that the child be placed
in cold room, as it would die easier il
so placed. This was done by the family,
and for the past three days the child has
lain in a room in which there was no fire
and where the wind came in through the
crevices of the window as through an
open door.
No one went near the child to nurse OF
care for it in any way until yesterday,
when neighbors interfered. It was too
late, however, to do the child any good,
and he died about 4 o'clock in the after
noon. The coroner will investigate the
matter
