WASHINGTON, Dec, Ex-senator Mitchell made
an argument before the Senate Com. ON Terri
tories to-day, in support of his bill to provide
Civil Government for Alaska by attaching IL
to Washington Territory as n County. He ar
gued that the military rule had proved oppres-
sive. Persons arrested for trial by the Califor.
mia and Oregon Courts had for want Of trans
portation and reasons been kept in prison for
months instead of five days as authorized by
law and the requirements of the treaty, that all
Russian American citizens should enjoy all tho
rights of other citizens, are still unfulfilled.
He said there had been considerable immigra-
ton of late for mining purposes and showed
that his bill would afford q civil government
at very email expense and stating that II was
recommended by Genl. Howard, commanding
that Department.
