No ore feels so indignant over the
Belknsp disgrace as the President.
To him Belknap owed all his ad-
,vancement and prosperity, and so
much more heinous was the betrayal.
The President is more indignant from
the fact that t. the last moment Bel
KNAPP deceived him, and their last
communication was deception on
Belknap's part, as the President said

Of the murder of Capt. P. ]. Calligan,
master Of the Schooner Stella. trading

following letter received by Mr. Il. II.
Cslligan Of this city. brother of the
deceased. will be read with interest BY
his numerous acquaintance:
PAPExsE, May 23d, 1876
MR. X. II. CALLIGAS, SEATTLE:
SrR;-We have received your letter
in which you inquire about the fate OF
your brother. Capt =. r. Cslligsn.
The account you read in the Chronicle
is unfortunately but too true. your
brother. Cap. P. T C.lligan. who has
been in ou- ,snploy for about . years rs
Master Of the Schooner Stella, WAS
foully murdered by the Chinese cox
Of the vessel on the night Of the Eth Of
December last while laying ut anchor
inside the Lagoon of the Island Of
ArAsika. The reason which led to the
preparation Of this foul deed, appears
70 be . grudge which the Chinaman
had against the mate Of the vessel and
it was brought out at the trial that it
was the mate he intended to kill. The
murderer lay in wait ut the top Of the
companion-wsy and your unfortunate
brother was stabbed twice On going up
the ladder in order to take his accus
toned sleep on deck Both cuts were
mortal and Capt. Calligan breathed his
last about one hour afterwards.
His remains we had inferred ct the
neighboring Island of Karkurn, where
we have an agency and the Rev. Father
Richard, Of tho Catholic Mission. who
was . great friend Of your brother, was
good enough to perform the last Offices
for the dead.
1t will be gratifying to You to learn
that Capt. Calligan, during his stay
here, had won for himself universal
esteem and was greatly liked by every
one who came in contact with him. both
natives and Europeans. We, ourselves
mourn the loss Of faithful and trust
worthy servant.
The Chinaman has been tried AND
condemned to twenty years imprison.
ment and hard labor.
We are. your very obedient servants.

don Mark Lane Eapress, under date Of
the 18th inst. says. the beginning of
the week has been marked by violent
galcs, which it is feared will damage tie
yonng cereal crops. 1t is probable that
larger acreage OF wheat has been
sown in re United Kingdom than in
previopsr years. Much of the native
wheat Offering is in poor condition. but
prices have advanced nearly two shill-
ings both in native and foreign. The
fact that the supply is short is forcing
itself npon buyers minds. The stop.
page OF the Russian supply will make
American more in demand, and it ap-
pears likely that increased activity will
be felt before the close Of the year.
