FIGHT FOR AN OFFICE.
Riot I'm tho City Hall, San Francisco
Ono Man Shot and Several

Riot i'm the City Hall, San Francisco
One Man Shot and Several
Bruised.
San Francisco, Jan. 1o.-There was a
riot at the city hal! at noon yesterday
when Tax Co~llector-elect Scott at
tempted to take his office. One man
was shot and others bruised in the
fight that ensucd. SCOTS election is be-
ing contested in the court by Collector
Sheehan, whose term expired yester-
day, on the ground that Scott has not
resided here five years, as required by
the new charter. Sunday night Shee-
han barricaded his Office in the city
hall, expecting to defend his alleged
rights. At noon. accompanied by
deputies, headed by Alexander Greg
gain, the pugilist, Scott approached the
Collector Sheehan, and after reading
his certificate of election, called upon
Sheehan to turn over the office to him.
Sheehan refused and it is alleged Scott
struck him. This started the fight in
which gas pipe, chairs and pistols and
clubs were used. The Office was some
what wrecked and a merry fight was
on when a squad of police interfered.
The officers made liberal use of their
clubs before a semblance of order was
restored. One shot was fired, wound
ing John .O'Brien. one of Scott's men,
in the neck. The wound may prove
fatal. Benjamin Solomon, a o of
ex-Gov. Solomon of Utah, was arrested
charged with having fired the shot but
was subsequently released. Charles E.
Doar, one of S%heehan's deputies. is un-
der arrest for assaulting a man with
an inkstand. Scott is now in possess
sion OF the office. The police are
searching every person who attempts
to approach the tax collectors othct.
and are seizing all weapons found.

Washington, Jan. 9.-During the dis
cussion yesterday of a resolution of in
curry offered by MI. Pettigrew Of
South Dakota some sensational state
ments were made regarding the atti-
tude Of this government toward the
Filipinos. Mr.. Pettigrew said this
government had attacked lis allies and
thereby had been guilty Of the grossest
%treachery. This statement was de-
MED vigorously by Mr.. Lodge. who de-
clared that this government had done
nothing of the kind, and that not even
remotely had it recognized the So
called government Of the EilipinoS.
MI. Morgan Of Alaba,dG discussed
the race question in The South, basing
by Mr.. Pritchard (Rep., n. CO.. He
thought some course should be adopted
which would prevent a repetition Of
the Hayes-Tilden controversy, and dis
cussed at length the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments to the constitu.
ton. He contended that to force the
black race into a socitl and political
equality with the white race was only
to clog the progress of all mankind.
The speech was a strong appeal for
action that would benefit both races,
and a defense of the new constitutions
Of Louisiana and North Carolina.
The House.
The house yesterday ordered two
investigations as the result of resolu-
tons introduced by Representative
Lentz Of Ohio. The first is to be an
investigation by the committee on
post offices and post roads into the
charge that two federal appointees of
the president, Postmaster John Ora
ham of Provo City, Utah. and Post
master Orson, Smith of Logan. Utah,
are under Indictment as polygamists,
and when af:davits to that effect are
on file at the time of their appoint
ment. The other is for an investiga-
ton by the military committee into the
conduct of Gen. Merriam and the
United States military officers during
the Wardner riots and troubles attend
ing thereto. The house adjourned I'M
til Wednesday.

Over an Hour

Washington, Jan. 9. : Gen. A. W.
Greedy, the signal service officer Of the
army and the we'll known Arctic ex-
plorer, lies in a serious condition at
his home as the result of an assault
committed on him about $50 o'clock
last night by Joseph G. Furnace, a
messenger in the employe CT the Ad-
ans Express company. Yesterday
Furnace, who lives in Baltimore, in
company with a friend named George
Murphy, spent the day in Washington
drinking until late in the afternoon,
| when they started for a disreputable
portion Of the town. They lost their
way and finally reached the north
western section of the city beyond the
state, war and navy departments.
They first tried to get admission to the
residence of +. D. King, but being un-
able to do so, continued on their way
up G street. Twice they went to the
house Of Gen. Greedy. The first at
tempt to obtain admission was made
rs a friend of the family calling to pay
Il visit to the daughter of the general.
Later they made another effort and
persisted in ringing the door bell and
otherwise creating a disturbance until
finally Gen. Greedy came out to ex-
postulate with them. They refused to
leave the house, and after some words
Furnace seized the general and threw
him down the long fight Of steps
which ascend from the pavement to
the house, which stands on a high ter
race. The fall cut a severe cash in
the back of the generals head. He
was picked up and taken into the house
and medical aid summoned. He re-
manned unconscious for about an hour.
Murphy, who was with Furnace. took
no part in the assault, but when he
saw what his companion had done,
took to his heels and ran away. Fur
mace is a young man twenty-tnrce
years old and his run for the express
company is between Baltimore and
Cincinnati. He offers no excuse for
his act. Ae was arrested and locked
up in the police station. The attend
ing physician says Gen. Greedy will I'M
doubteGly recover.

The MachiasIs Ordered to Santo Do
mfnxO to Protect American Inter
ests.
Washington, Jan. 1O.-The Machies
has been ordered from San Juan to
Santo Domingo. She left that place
a few days ago to secure coal at San
Juan and it is deemed well to have a
naval vessel on hand to protect Ameri-
can interests in case any trouble fol-
lows the attempt of the French naval
commander at Santo Domingo to en-
force the settlement of the pending
French claim of 100000. 1t is not be-
lieved that there is any chance of any
conflict between the French and
American naval officers in the execu-
ton of the secret instructions, but ap-
parently the United States minister at
Santo Domingo believes that in the in-
terest of peace there should be a
larger naval force than one vessel
there during this exciting time. The
news that success has attended a pop
ular subscription to raise the S6e'NO to
pay the claim is also regarded as tend
ing to avert danger of the adoption oil
forcible measures by the French war
ships commander. ..
