and follows the edge Of San Pablo and

The railroad company are also con-

it will be connected BY ferry with the

Oakland from Martinez, It is also
said that after the completion of the
branch from Fairfield, the overland
trains going east and west will be run
over the California Pacific road from
here 70 Fairfield and thence to Oak

improvements will have the effect Of
shortening the overland trip several

as an indication that the political atm0s-

Up to nine o'clock last night the Porte
had not received any advice of the

Up to Sunday evening, Sufret Pasha,

showing that the Porte has been pledged

Your correspondents prophecies have

Russia has triumphed. The Ottoman
power is crushed without British inter

Russia also has vindicated the prediction
that she would 50 adjust her policy as TO

THE CHANNEL ACROSS THE MARSH

Mention was made last week of the
entcrprsing efforts of settlers back of
the marsh opposite town, to drain the
big marsh, rs well as to secure direct
water communication from their homes
to the river. A visit to their place of
work a few days since, furnishes the fol-
loving additional information concern
ing this beneficial enterprise:
This marsh is about eight miles oug
by from lone aud onc-hnlf to two and
one halt miles wide. 1t is screened from
the river by fringe of timber averaging
about one.iourth Oh a mile wide from
Lowell, its lower end to Fiddlcr's Bluff,
two and half miles above this place.
These men hogan their work some three
weeks ago, at Little's Slough, situate
about one and three-iourths OF mile
below town. Most OF the standing wat
er on the marsh Is derived from numer.
Gus small streams flowing into it from
the foothills back OF 1t. This ditch is
intended to cross about the center of it,
draining II large lake and collecting the
waters Of several of these streams into
single channel. The men thus far en-
gagged are w. w. Lnrrimer and relation
of his, G. W. Stevenson and his son
John Stevenson. Mr.. Little hires man
to assist them, Mr. Turner is rendering
them assistance and Others are in various
ways helping the project; but to Messrs,
Larrimer I'M Stevenson the nam credit
Of the enterprise must be awarded.
They have had to cut great amount
of timber to clear tie slough, then grub
trees for nearly one. fourth of mile far
thcr until through the timber. They are
nov back OF the timber. They have cut
a channel nearly One-third of mile long,
wide enough and deep enough to pull
Whitehall boat with oars up it. The
current is exceedingly swift, so that now
they only take out the bushes, roots and
submerged logs, breaking up tie earth
with Il spade, the water carrying it to
the river. This ground sluicing dimin.
ishes their work greatly. At the edge
of the timber where, y few weeks ago the
the water was two feet deep, now one
can 60 with ease, with no serious trouble
from the water.
The successful completion OF this
channel will bring several families u
couple of miles nearer this town as their
market, us well as give them water
carriage all the way. 1t also opens up
for settlement large and fertile
tract of country. 1t is clear for this and
other equally good reasons the business
men Of this town can afford to help this
enterprise literally. The improvement
and cultivation OF tIs marsh, together
with La Gmndc marsh, where Messrs.
Hurley, Cotton aud others are at work,
would make Suohomish the wcalthiest
agricultural center OF the Sound. The

indicates that he sers how much easier
they are than he would have made him
srlf had he been victorious. The money
indemnity is only one-tcnlh of that ex.
acicd hy Germany from France. Russa's
freedom of the Dardanclss, though np-
pIrcntly 'Xacted from Turkey, is really
cxactrd from England, the only European
power having any interest in opposing
it. Turkey cares nothing for it herself,
and the Porte is doubtless delighted to
conccde what will annoy an old alIy,who
failed him in his extremity. AS Eng.

of Paris, she will llhot for the fragment of
it. The war is ended

MosLEMs-A RAID BY KURDs.
IFRoM A REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBuNBl
CoNsrANTINoPLE, June 5.-NeXt to the Russian
question in importance rs the refugee question.
Many refugees have been sent away but Others
have come in declaring that there is no
safety for Moslems in tho country dis
triets where Bugarans arc yet unrestrained
bv Russian supervision. The mosques of st. Sophia
and Sultan Ahmed and one other have been emptied
of their fever-smtten tenants, but except those OF
Bayazid and Mahomet H., all the other large
mosques in the city are still crowded with these
moor wretches who are dying at the rate OF 200
day. Typhus fever with measles among the children,
are the most fatal diseases. Smallpox, which was
an endemic here in February, has lost its force
The pressing Importance OF the refugee question
lies in the rapid advance of the hot weather which
salready beginning TO turn the vast accumuatons OF
filth into nests poison germs which allmust breathe
The plague decimated the population OF this city
forty years ago. and how to avoid similar pesti-
lence is the question weighing on the minds OF oil
foreign residents just now. The consus have formed
a committee to devise sanitary measures, since Gov
ernment is incapable and an attempt will be made
10 dsnfect at least the foreign quarters Of the city,
This foreign Intervention is necessary because
the measures taken by the Government are so mad
equate that one may look upon them as IN the line
of evidence of tho disntegration of all things
here. The order goes forth for the refu-
gees to be removed from Constantinople
No system is observed in the matter. They are
gathered up by careless and irresponsible officers
turned out Of the shanties or stables where they
have been sheltered. Commonly the eviction takes
place shortly before sunset, so that the wretches
cannot get shelter again before night. The long,
melancholy procession winds of to the Wharves OF
the railway station, with its sick and dying
in carts and its women wailing again. There they
find that transportation has been provided Tor only
half the number of refugees ordered out
and they must camp down in the muddy
street until morning light viii alloy some one to
