what Chaplain says OF Alaska


PORTLAND, Or, Sep. "a.
The steamer California has just ar
rived here from Stka with freight and
passengers. Chaplain Collins. U 5.
A., who WAS passenger, brings in
formation of deplorable state of affairs
at Sitka since the withdrawal of troops
from that place There is now no pro-
lection either for life or property. There
is not semblance of law either civil.
military or naval. and 10 power what
lawless elements. At present there are
not more than fifteen white residents at
and to oppoee this number are several
hundred Indians. Since the departure
come very bold and impudent, get
drunk and swagger about town day and
for the rights of whites. Several resi-
dents informed Chaplain Collins that
they were in hourly fear of their lives
and property, and that they intended
to abandon the country as soon as
that port is powerless, and his author
ity entirely disregarded. Already the
y ha
Government bsildlngs, Carrying amay
doors and windows and burning them
destroyed, and there is no authority to
interfere. SiNka Jack. the Leading In
dian chief in thNt Territory. has notified
number of the northern tribes to come
to Sitka, where they will hold grand
dance about the list of October. Among
settlers it is feared this meeting of In
diaus will be the signal for a general
plumber of the town aud the probable
massacre of the inhabitants A Gov
eminent steamer was at that port only
a few weeks ago, but the Indians re-
garded it with the utmost contempt,
saying they could very easily capture it
if they desired. A general feeling of
insecurity has completely paralyzed the
business of the Territory, and unless
the Government speedily offers pro-
lection to settlers it will be totally
abandoned.

A deplorable picture of that ice berg
known as Alaska is painted by Chaplain
Collins. U S. A., who has just arrived
at Portland from Sitka. Some years
ago this inhospitable territory was pur-
chased of Russia tor 81. 600, 600 in gold
by the United States Government. 1t
was represented as having immense
natural resources. Its copper and iron
mines were said to be lnexbaustible. Its
forests were to be utilized in ship
building. aud its fisheries were to give
employment to hundreds and furnish
food for thousands. Troops were sent
to Sitka, a collector of customs was ap
pointed for the port and mail commu-
nicatious established with the United
States Tue seal fisheries. reputed to
BE worth the price paid for the whole
country, were leased to the Alaska Fur
Company. RUG organization. for
500, 600 year while at least ten times
that amount was expended annually In
salaries to Government officials and In
maintaining n garrison to enforce obe-
dience from the natives 10 the United
States laws.
All this was done when rings con-
trolled legislation and TIE Government
was run IN the interest of monopolies
Now, the condition of affairs Is changed;
ut least so far MS Alaska is concerned.
The mines, if any exist, are undevel-
oped. the forests do not resound With
the echoes of the woodman's ak, and
the fisheries are monopolized by the
Fur Company. The Territory is aban
doned, only fifteen white families re
manning at Sitka, and they. according
10 the Chaplain's report. are liable to
bs scaiped at any moment, AS they are
wholly at the mercy of the savages,
their being no prote elton for life or
property. 1t is evident that Alaska is
an elephant for which the people have
no use at present, and it is simply non
sansicai to attribute it's abandonment
To- the withdrawal of troops.
