The ALASKA SEAL FISHERS.

1t ls known that the government has sold to
California company the monopoly OF the seal
fisheries on the Alaska coast, and that the skins
cured by this company are becoming considerable
item Ia our fur trade IL seems, however, that the
companys operations are prosecuted with the usual
heartessncss Of mOnopoes that are not responsible
To any higher power. The San Francisco Bulletin
learns from Mr.. Buynitzky, United States Treasury
agent at Alaska that the company catches no seals
Itself, but buys those caught by the natives or
the islands OF st. George and ST. Paul. These
natives live in huts sunk in Lhe ground and
covered with sod. These rude dwellings, are
nearly always damp, and so unhealthful that
the adult natives die Ok consumption about as fast
as children are born. In religious belief tney are
Christians and most OF them can read and WRITE
They have no fuel except blubber. The company
buy all the seals they catch and sell them all the
supplies they need. aud have such complete au-
thority over them that they are compelled to give
whatever prices for goods and provisions the COM
pany see proper ask. The seal catcners DO good
business, but they can make nothing by IT. They
average $1,000 year In the value Of the seals they
caIcll but all this money, Mr. Buynitzky declares.
Is extorted from them, that at the end OF the year
they have saved nothing. Is would seem that these
poor people are quite as well entitled to tho pro.
tecting Interposiiion OF the government as some
ot]es pet classes who are constantly recelyingt IT.

THE ROGERS TRAGEDY.

Yhe Mystery still Unveiled-Au0t.,er Stato-
ment by the Pretended Rogers Murderer
PintOn Confined in the T0mbs 10 the Time
Of the Mnrdcr.
AUBURN, Jan. 10, 1871.
The so-called confession OF the convict, Francis f.
P,nton. in the prison at this place, Of the mur-
der OF Mr. Rogers, In New York. on the 3ist OF De-
cember, 1868, causes considerable excitement the
more SO as he now endeav0rs TO ridcule his
first statement and to show that In the whole
business he was, TO use his own language
"only funnlng" called at the pEissn this morn
ing, and through the courtesy OF Mr.. Allen Ross
the agent, obtained an interview with the keeper
Holman. and the convicts, Harris and Pinton.
Their statements were interesting, though some
what colored aAd conflicting. IL must be said in
explanation tnat Hoffman, the keeper, is exceed
fngy anxious to secure the large reward offered by
Mayor Hall; that the convict acknowledges he las
motive In giving evidence against his brother ruf-
fan, and that the atc2 may possibly have had q
motive In throwing dust in the eyes OF the
authorities. That this latter is the more correct
suppOsition IS now fixed fact. After writing out
my interviews with the parties named received tel
egram stating that Pinton alias Williams, IN the
T0mbs on tine day OF the murder Of Mr.. Rodgers, rs
hs positively stated to-day that he WAS
fined on the occasion Of the tragedy, and thai the
effort TO convict him Of the crime was ell nonsense.
His statements must now be considered true.
Clearly he was not the murderer, and his confession
must be classed with those OF the desperate seekers
after notoricty who acknowledged themselves the
assasslns OF Mr.. Nathan.

Ku-Klux Investigation.

Washington, 5. The Ku-klux Investigat-
ing Committee to-day concluded the exami-
nation of witnesses in attendance from the
South, and took recess till the Goth of Sep
TENDER. Among the last Witnesses was
Lieut.. Geo. b. Pickett, of the 10th United
States infantry, who has been for some time
in command of detachment of troops in
Pontaloe and Monroe counties, Miss. He
testified that the Ku-klux organization ex-
listed in five north eastern counties of Missis-
sippi, on the border of Alabama, to which he
believed it was confined in the former State.
The purpose of Ku-Kl waste intimidate col
ored voters and drive away Northern men
from their section. Within the knowledge of
the witness they had murdered nine negroes
in Monroe county in four months. He had
been stationed there. He believed the pres
ence of troops has had good effect in that
vicinity.

italian Demonstrations.

San Francisco, 5. The italian demonstra-

Victor Emanuel took place to-day. Perfect
order and quiet prevailed. The procession
was one of the most brilliant ever seen here.
No inscription calculated to offend the catho-
lies being visible. The Italian and American
flags were carried side by side in each division
the German and Swiss rife companys also
carried their national flags. A temple of
liberty with young ladies dressed in national
colors, represented united Italy; full rugged
felucca and car representing Rome, sur
mounted by statue of the wolf sucking
Romulus and Remues were among the finest
features of the procession. The police had
made extra preparations, but there was not
the slightest necessity for their interference.

Cuban Fillibusters,

Montreal, 8. The investigation of charges
against the alleged Cuban fllibusters is pro-
ceeding to-day before the police magistrate,
with closed doors. No new features in the
matter have been brought to light but some
additional affidavits have been made against
the alleged leaders of the enterprise. The
cross examination of the witnesses against
the accused was lengthy, and it appears that
the testimony against Major Robinson is of
a most serious character, and is quite suffi-
cient for his detention in custody. Caster,
the Queens counsel, is conducting the case
on behalf Of the Spanish Consul, and Mr..
Dunebar Browne appears for Major Robinson.
The examination will be resumed on Monday,
but the whole affair is regarded here as a
farce.

The Strike in st. Louis.

St. Louis, Mo-, 5. The suspension of work
continues at the Vulcan Iron Works, the
men refusing to resume labor as long as Su-
perintendent Reeve is retained in charge.
The company will stand by Mr. Reeve and a
new set of hands will arrive early next week,
from Pennsylvania. The trouble grew out
of the old strike in Pittsburg some time ago,
in which Mr.. Reeve was victorious. Sixteen
of the men engaged in that strike are among
the hands engaged in this mill, and were told
by Mr.. Reeve that they could hold their
places as long as they conformed to the rules,
but failing in this they were discharged, and
the other hands stopped work.
