SAN FRANCISCO, April G.-Relative L
the recent search for the murderera o.
the passengers and crew Of the steamer
George s. Wright by the British gunboa,
Rock, the following press dispatch has
been received from Victoria:
1.-THE most sorrowful page in the story
OF the wreck Of the George S. Wright ii
1874 remains to be written. The C5iOaisj
has few additional particulars OF the
massacre Of portion Of her passengers
and crew by the Indians and the destruc,
tion Of the Indian village. Tho officers
ot the Rocket learned enough to convince
them that several Of the shipwrecked
persons got ashore and were murdered
by the natives. The story is to the pur.
port that number OF whites came ashore
In boat; that they had with them many
papers and large sum Of money in gold
and silver. They bargained with party
Of Indians who were bound to Victoria
TO take them TO Fort Rupert for seven
dollars each. The white men were with
out arms, and when night came and all
were asleep the Indians murdured
them and threw their bodies in the
sea, after stripping them of everything
Of value. The money in the box was
divided by the savages, who then came
on to Victoria and spent the coin. An
Indian woman says that she picked up
the head Of white man on the beach at
Cape Caution a few months after tho
wreck, and was told to put it down again
and say nothing about it The officers
found no property belonging to theWright
except parts Of the wreck which proba.
bly, driited ashore. With respect
10 the destruction OF the village,
Sergeant Bloomfield landed with three
others from the Rocket and demanded
the four men who are suspected Of COM
plicity in the murder. The Indians came
out armed and refused to give up the
men, the party then secured two OF the
suspected savages and made for the boat,
and were fred on but got back to the shi p
safely. Captain Harris then gave the
tribe six hours In which to surrender the
other two men. After the lapse OF six
hours he extended the time to three hours
longer, he then fred blank cartridges
and the Indians ran away, the village was
then shelled and afterwards burned. The
two men were secured. No one was hurt,

STEUBENvILLE is to have the Changers
wool warehouse. This shows what the
determined pluck Of a few earnest men
will dO.-SteiIbeauilc Gazette.
We congratulate our steubenville
friends on securing the warehouse. We
presume it was mainly owing to the fact
that Jefferson and Harrison are two Of
the largest wool growing counties in this
region, and that steubenville is more ac-
Cessible to Hancock, Brooke and Wash.
ington counties than Wheeling. The
Panhandle road reaches all these coun.
ties, and also taps every other road in
Ohio that can furnish any wool to the
warehouse.
We trust that the experiment Of housing
and holding the wool Of this section will
prove a protection to the farmers against
the bear movements Of Eastern buyers
early in the'sesson. 1t is to be borne in
mind, however, that money ia often lost
on wool by holding. 1t has frequently
happened that the opening price has
proved the beat one OF the year. Last
year the price opened rs high as So cents
and speedily fell to 80, and then TO q
cents, but later in the season rallied an,
advanced strongly. 1t was an exception
ally good year for buyers.
The warehouse association propose tt
charge u cents per ponnd for handling
the wool. Or rather this is 10 be theil
maximum, and Is to cover all expenses
after receipt in the warehouse, such ii
grading, storage, salaries, insurance
guarantee OF sales, &c. Advances OF
consignments will be made 10 the extent
Of half their value at the rate Of pei
cent interest, all Of which is reasonable
enough. Should this season prove q
lucky one, that is, should wool repeat the
history OF last year, the warehouse will
bepopular among the growers, but should
We have rapid decline, as IN 1872, after
the opening Of the season, it will be con
sidered an expensive luxury, for in tha
case, the growers will lose, in addition tc
the decline, cent and half rer pounc
and whatever interest they may pay.
