of twenty-five dollars and serve twenty
days in the city prison, TOR cruelty to ami
mails, in having star ted fire un .er his

Earle's Hotel.
The proprietors of Earle's hotel state
facts which go to show considerable dis
credit upon the story of Mr.. Andrew
Reed, western merchant, who alleges
that he was chloroformed and his carpet
bag robbed of $5 600. An empty bottle
was found in his room with dry
sponge beside iJ. Other indications seem
to warrant the belief that no robbery was
committed.
The Alleged Alaska Briberfes.
1t is stated that Mr.. Martin, the indi-
vidual who proposes to be able to give full
Information relative to the Alaska bri-
berries, is in Washington, but has never ap-
peared before the committee, although
there is no obstacle to having him appear
if the committee wants him. He boasted
that he can prove that Secretary Seward
urged Baron Stoeckl to oil the wheels OF
the legislative machinery, and that among
the items of expenditure for the necessary
oiling were, to a near relative of Thad.
Stevens, $4,000; to a correspondent of a
New York Radical morning paper $4,000;
to Baltimore paper, and Chicago paper,
$4,000; to an Eastern Senator, $4,000;
to an Eastern Member, who engineered the
bill, $250,000; to another Eastern Member,
who smelt out the alleged corruption,
$l50,000; to the chief of Washington di-
plomatists, 100000, and to the New York
lobby ring, $500,000. Martin makes these
charges, and says he is willing to prove
them if he is called upon by the commit
tee.
NaturaIiz alton of British Sub
jects.
A London paper states that Minister Ohm

tion Society respecting the naturalization
of British subjects in America, as follows
"You will have no difficulty whatever, il
you become citizens of America, and re-
turn to your own country, on being called
upon to do any act here on the ground that
you owe any allegiance to the Government
of England. When you return here you
will be clothed with the protection of Amer
y
America. We consider you, in point of law
ciTiZan born with us, entitled to all our
rights, and that we are under obligations
to protect you the same as we would those
born on our SOIL"
