Alas, Poor Alaska.

Portland, April 2s.-Persons just ar
rived from Alaska on the steamer Cali
fornia state that the order recently is
sued by the Government, withdrawing
the troops from the post at that place
and Fort Wrangel, has produced very
depressing effect OF business. Grave
apprehension is felt that serious diff
Guilty will arise between the Indians
and resident whites. The lawless and
turbulent element seems to predominant
in Alaska, and the presence of troops is
necessary to keep social marauders in II
condition of peaceful subsection. BY
Withdrawing the soldiers it is claimed
there will be little or no protection to
property and life. The Indians are
bold and impudent, and when the
troops are gone there will be nothing
to restrain their rapacity. In view OF
these inevitable results the merchants
and business men residing in Alaska
feel greatly discouraged. Should the
order be enforced the withdrawal of
troops will have a very damaging effect
on trade between Alaska ports and the
outside commercial world. There APP
pears to be a general protest against the
proposed action of the Government.

The Lessees of the Southern Hotel Cen
surable.
st. Louis, April 2S.-The coroner's
jury of inquest on the victims in the
Southern Hotel fire closed their labors
this afternoon. From the testimony
they reached the conclusion that the
fire originated in the basement, possibly
in the wine cellar, near the bottom of
the baggage elevator, which carried the
smoke and flames almost instantly to
the upper floors and roof of the build
ing. The jury then recounts the delay
in giving the alarm to the fire depart
ment, the arrival of the fire depart
ment, and other facts already published.
In the opinion of the jurythe lessees of
the hotel are censurable in several par
ticulars:
First. While providing the ne
cessary materials for extinguishing Il
fire. they had provided no means for
their use.
Second. In keeping in the store
room and wine cellar a large amount
of in1ammable material without ade-
Quate watching. 3
Third. In removing from their office
the gong necessary to alarm the in
mates of the hotel in case of fires.
Fourth. In employing only one
Waterman, and he very Inefficient, and
supplementing his duties as such with
other matters.
Fifth. In lack of rules and i~nstruc-
lions to employees as to their course and
duties in case of fire.
Sixth. In their making no efficient
efforts on the night of the fire to
awaken their guests and employees.
In conclusion the jury make some
suggestions looking to The avoidance of
such calamities in future, which may
be summed up as follows: That no ho-
tel or public building should be unpro-
vided with means of extinguishing
fires; that a sufficient number Of watch
men should be employed to detect fire
and drilled in the use of appliances for
eXtinguishing them; that in all large
hotels gongs or bells large enough to be
heard throughout the house should be
rung continually until the safety of ev-
cry guest and employe is assured: that
