I‘he Assnllonts Rounded' Up and Lodged In Prison While the \Vounded Man Was Sent to a Hospital—The Do» tails of the Trouble. NEW YORK, Jan. 14. —-—Hard upon Presi- l‘cnt Boosevelt’ s emphatic declaration to the striking cab drivers that only upon the basis of public order being maintained can strikers be allowed to contend for their r1 vhts and can they obtain them in this community comes a desperate fight. Eight striking drivers fell upon one‘ ‘sca ” to- day in a Boulevard 1cstaurant and assault- ed him with fists, crockery and pickle jars. The police came upon the 10w, surrounded the house, seized the eight men and the manager of the restaurant and locked them all up while their v ictim was ca1ted Off to the hospital. He was Andrew M ch .1111 once the owner, now a driver, of cabs. Seguin has seen better days. He had his own stable in West Thirty-first street once, but re- Lately, to p1ovide for his wife and children, he had to hire out as a driver 1‘01 the New York Cab company in place of their striking men. He drove a cab f101n the stables at Seventy—fifth st1 cot and Amsterdam ave- une. There Policemen Granville, Townsend and Carlin were stationed in plain clothes as an escort to coaches that went out from the stables. Townsend and Ca1lin had taken a con- voy to the Catholic club, and Granville had just come in from West End avenue in Se- guin’ s cab, having seen a coach safe to its destination there. There were no orders, and the policemen sat down to have a smoke while the driver walked down to the Morningside restaurant, on the Boule- vard, near Seventy—fifth street, to have his breakfast. The restaurant is a resort for the striking drivers. It was filled with customers, who appar- ently took no notice of him until he got. up to go. As he passed in f1 out of the ' cashier’s desk two men blocked his way, asking him where he was going. He said he was bound for home. Remeditated Assault. “N 0, you ain’t, ” they sneered, and mak- ing a sudden assault upon him struck ”him down and tripped him 11p all in one . breath. As he fell a shower of plates and crockery, of bottles and pepper boxes, came from every corner. They struck the pros- trate man, and men jumped upon and kicked him. Bruised and bleeding, he scrambled to his feet and appealed to the manager of the restaurant, Thomas Fee, but he paid no heed, he says. Down he went. He barely managed to escape to the street, where he set 11p a cry that was heard for blocks around. Policeman Granville heard it in the stable and made for the corner. Half a 'dozen other policemen hand it on as many posts and reached there, running at full speed, simultaneously with Granville. The latter had run up against two men walk- ing rapidly away and seized them at sight. They were James Tait and William Camp- bell. The uniformed policemen surrounded the restaurant. They set a guard in front and 1n rear and then sea1 chcd the place. They dragged men out of the cellar and out of closets, and if they showed fight clubbed them till they were quiet. When they had them all, they counted eight. They marched them around to the sta- tion house in West Sixty-eighth street and there registered their prisoners as follows: Martin Holmes, Richard Harvey, William Campbell, John Irving, James Tait, John Carney, Nicholas Nau and Andy Jones. They were all striking cab drivers, and all were locked up on a charge of assault. When Seguin, sore and covered with blood, told Sergeant Townsend how he had ap— pealed in vain to Manager Fee for protec- tion, the sergeant sent around and had him arrested too. He Was locked 11p with the rest. Seguin was sent to RoOsevelt hospital, .and after his wounds were hand- aged he-was escorted home by a police- man. The last on the list of the striking driv— ers is a negro who pleaded that he had just come in for a cup of coflee and had no share in the fight. The police held him, knowing him to be a cab driver and on strike. “'1“ Shoot to Kill Now.

Explorer Receives the First Cnnum Gen. 1' graphical Gold Aledal.° NEW YORK, Jan. 14. ——At the annual meeting of the American Geegiaphical so- - ciety, at Chickering hall, the Cullum geo~ graphical medal was p1 esented to R. E. Peary, C. E., U‘. S. N., the arctic explorer. The late General Cullum, in addition to a bequest of $100, 000 fora building for the society, left a sum out of which a. gold LIEUTENANT PEARY. medal might be given to those who render important se1 was to geographical science. The society decided that the first medal under this bequest should be presented to Peary. President Charles P. Daly presented the medal, and the recipient responded. He outlined a plan for reaching the pole, say- ing that an expedition following a route through Smith sound and along the north- ‘west coast of Greenland could attain the goal if provisions and equipment were lo— cated 1n the latitude of Independence bay. The design of the medal was made by Miss Lydia Field Emmet. Inscribed on the face is, “The American Geographical So- ciety of New York.” On the obverse is the figure of a young man standing in the bow of a boat. He has thrown down his oars upon discovering land. He shades his eyes with his hand as the boat pro- grosses through the waves. A sea gull, 110v- e1 ing, indicates the proximity of land. The whole is supposed to represent prog- ress, courage, enterprise and the spirit of exploration. OREGON’S SENATORSHIP. Delay Caused by the Deadlock Over the Speakersliip Continues. SALEM, On, Jan. 14. — There is no change in the deadlock on the speakership. Neither side shows any indication of sur— render. The Benson people say that the Populists have made overtures agreeing to come in and form a quorum if they are given certain concessions in the matter of legislation. The Populists emphatically deny the report and say they made no ten- ders; It seems to be the purpose of the minority to delay organization for the pur— pose of complicating the fight for senator. There are ‘no new developments in the sen atorial contest beyond the claim of the Mitchell men that they have 50 signatures for a caucus, 4 more than a majority. They also claim they will secure another signature. While it is admitted by the op- position that Senator Mitchell secured these signatures for a caucus, it is claimed by them that not all of the signers will go into caucus when the time- arrives and that there will be enough backsliders to prevent Mr. Mitchell from receivinga ma- jority.

Pillsbury on the Interest or the Northwest In Its Success. - " MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 14. ’— Charles, A. Pillsbury, one of the directors in the Con- solidated Lake and Canal company, formed ’ by Erastus Wiman to divert flour and other shipments to the water routes, in an inter-l view today explained the company’s plans as affecting the northwest. He declared that thetrunk line commission had given the business interests of the northwest a demonstration of its power over rates in the west even beyond its own immediate - territory. The new company was intended to free these business interests forever from the danger «1 Being throttled by the trunk line pool. The millers and jobbers of the northwest. he said, have formed a pool of their shipping interests and intend to take advantage Of the deepening of the Erie canal and the water routes on the great lakes to keep rates within bounds. “One of the great difi‘iculties,” Mr. Pillsbury continued, “has been that the railroads had control of the terminals in Buffalo and New York. But we took the matter up with Mr. Wiman and the capi— talists he represented, and the result is. we have made a contract for a large portion of our flour to be shipped via the Erie canal and to ignore the railroads entirely; and, furthermore, the jobbers of Minne- apolis and St. Paul will join us and load the boats coming back. With the deepen‘ ing of t 1e E1i-3 canal we can snap our fin- gers at the railroads. A few of the boats will be built next spring, but as he deepening will not be completed till the year after we expect to do little in 1897 but find what the weak spots in the scheme are, if any, and strengthen them. The scheme has gone too far 110w for the roads to block it. If they attempt it, there will‘ be a howl in the northwest. Already the roads are considering reducing their ter- minal charges in New York.” ROGERS WALKBD. Extreme Simplicity Affected by the New Governor of \Vnsliington. OLYMPIA, Wash, Jan. 14.-—John R. Rogers, Populist, was inaugurated as gov- ernor this afternoon. Heretofore retiring and incoming governors have always head- ed a procession of state officials in car- riages to the capitol, where the inaugural ceremonies arc held. A committee of ar- rangements planned the ceremonies this time“‘i11 conformity with the established custom, but Governor Elect Rogers refused to consider the carriage proposition, saying he preferred to start his ofl‘icial career with the utmost simplicity. He walked from his boarding house to the capitol as if he were going on an ordinary mission, accom- panied by a number of his friends. The military features of the inauguration were dispensed with at liogcrs’ request, and there was no parade. He refused to take part in the inaugural ball, contenting him- self with receiving the public at a recep- tion. His position with regard to the ar- rangements entirely upset the committee on programme and caused much comment. Corinth’s Narrow Escape. SARATOGA, Jan. 14.—At Corinth the grocery store of R. M.
