The Mineral Wealth Of Alaska.

The quartz mines in the mountains,
not eight miles from Sitka, are highly
spoken of. Water and timber are
both convenient, and may be had al
most without price. Already ten well
defined ledges of gold-bearing quartz
have been discovered and eight mines
located. A Portland, Oregon, compa-
ny has made considerable progress in
developing one claim The rock is
said to be rich, and yields well even
when pounded up with an ordinary
pestle and mortar. A discharged sol
dier at Sitka makes So per day by
crushing rock in this way. | visited
the mines in company with an expert
named Wolter, we'll known in Kern
county, CAL, and he pronounced the
iSitka rock ten times better than that
of Cariboo. Its sulphurcts are black

have been traced for three miles. The

HE GLOBE acknowledges the receipt of
the following very courteous communication:
TO the Editor and Proprietor of THE ST.. PAUL
GLOBE:
DEAR S1rs--Wc, the subscribers, respectfully
request You to discontinue the publication eth
or of the Sunday or Monday morning edition
of your paper, in view of the following con-
sldcrations
I. We fully appreciate the great influence
which the press Of our city has hitherto exerted
in behalf of the public morals, and we are
therefore all the more panied to have its influ-
encc now cxerted for Sabbath Dissertation, not
that we regard other corporations or institu-
tions which require unnecessary work on the
Sabbath as any less guilty than yourself, but
we consider the influence of the press as greater
than any perhaps than all combined.
2. Our petition is not laid against the Mon
day edition as such, but against the publication
of IL paper on seven days of the week, without
any such iutermission as should respect the day
which the Christian community accountsacred.
inasmuch as the Monday edition was the sew
cnth, it is but the occasion Of this remon-
STRANGE.
3. While there are many of the subscribers
who would much prefer the discontinuance of
the Sabbath edition, believing that it involves
the dissertation of the day, and others who be-
icyc the sanctity of the day can be as well con-
served by the discontinuance Of the Monday
edition, yet we are all confident that it is Meth
cr for your own best interests, in accord
ancc with the wishes of the best class of your
subscribers that you should continue the publ
cation of seven editions a week; and we hope
that you may therefore see fit to comply with

second article Of which the following is an
extract:

who is boarding in the Windsor Hotel
He and his companion had called to invoke
the aid of the police in discovering and

the Princess for some time with threats and
demands for money. The Count said,
through an interpreter, that on Saturday
morning last the Princess received by mail
letter in French, of which the following is a
translation:

THE COURTS.
United States District Court.


The case against George Fl. Donburg a
bankrupt, of Wells, Faribault county, charged
with attempting to defraud his creditors, as
reported in yesterdays GLOBE, was dismissed
to-day after lengthy argument between the
district attorney and Judge Young, the
counsel for the defendant.
The points in dispute were briefly these:
The defendant was charged with a violation
of the ninth and tenth clauses of the penal
section of the bankruptcy act; first, i'll hay
ing obtained, under false pretenses, goods
within three months of proceedings against
him III bankruptcy, and, second, i'll having,
within the same period, disposed of certain
goods, obtained on credit and unpaid for, in
a manner otherwise than the usual trade
transactions.
The counsel for the defense quoted re-
cent decision of the United States SUI
preme court wherein the unconstitutionality
of the ninth clause of the penal section is
affirmed, and argued that decision necessari-
ly, also rendered nugatory the tsnth clause.
The court conceded in this view, and the
prisoner was, therefore, discharged.

KEEPERS WoDDCHUCK.

Clerk of the Court Kiefer, the best paid
officer in Ramsey county, was not only
skipped by the retrenchment bill but he
has scheme for largely increasing
his pay. He is endeavoring to
get an amendment to the retrenchment
bill giving him fees for entering tax judy
ments. The Legislature refused to give such
fee to Barney Armstrong last year, and
some of our loud mouthed retrenchers were
very noisy in opposing it. They are strangely
silent just now. We hope the Legislature
will choke Kiefer's woodchuck until it is
dead.

Il NEW TRICK.

Mr.. DonnellY developeda new scheme in
the text book job yesterday. He got the
Senate to recall the bill from the House for
the purpose of amending the
Teller amendment, 1giving the people
the right to vote upon the swindle
at the end of five years. The Merrillites
seem to regard the House as mere football
for the aristocratic Senate to kick about at
will. If the House has any self-respect. it
will adhere to the Teller amendment, and
let the Senate accept or lose the bill. The
Senate will come to terms if the House
stands firm.

AS will be gathered from The GLOBE
court report to-day, Judge Nelson yester-
day rendered q decision in a bankruptcy case,
which would seem to preclude the possible
ity of furnishing bankrupts for frauds COM
mitted previous to bankruptcy proceedings
being instituted against them. 1t is mat
ter in which the wholesale mercantile com
munity is deeply interested, and the evil in
dictated should be Immediately remedied by

IHSL0teSt Phase.

New York Special (Feb. 20 Chicago Trilsne
No clew has been found to the party who
wrote the Matchmaking story about Princess
Sovarof. Tonight the Princess sent a let
ter to the editor of the San, Count kalouyrat.
her nephew. carrying it and refusing to de-
liver it till he had receipt. In this letter
she says:
1 am astonished you took the liberty to pub
hsh such an outrageous article on lady for
elgner whose thought was that she would be
Hospitality treated in America as all foreigners
are treated in her country.
Mr.. Waite, of the Windsor, is very in
dignant over the affair." and has taken steps
for the most thorough investigation. The
Count Kalouyrat acting for the Princess,
went to the police court to obtain warrant
for the arrest of the publishers of the often
siye article. He was informed that war
rant could not be issued. Upon
subsequent legal advice, the Princess
resolved upon an entirely different
course, and one that will tend to make the
case not only celebrated, but of international
Importance.
The blackmail having been attempted
through the postofice, the offense comes
within the jurisdiction of the national gov
eminent. The elder Prince Suvaroff is in
oPCSIol ScilS1dl VI Ill lue htlSSldN Infantry
and chief aide-camp to the Gar The
| charges, if true, are Ebelous in the extreme,
| because they allege offenses for which, ac-
cording to the laws of Russia. he should be
expelled from Office and punished. Besides,
they cast serious reflection upon the Emper-
or's government, and imply bad form of
official corruption, The younger Prince
| is aide-de-camp to the Gar also
and the charges against his
father, and his retention in the Rus
sian service in the event of their truth, is a
still worse reflection upon the Imperial gov
eminent. The attention of the Russian
government will be called to the publica-
ton, and efforts made through it TO have
the United States government take the mat
ter up.
The princess is utterly crushed by the
affair. When a Times reporter called upon
her she was in tears. Her room was il
confusion, incident to preparations for q
long journey, The princess said she had
made up her mind to terminate her visit tt
this country and return home. She had in
tended to remain here some time, and traye
extensively for her health, which is very
poor, but she regarded her treatment as Sc
outrageous that she had settled up her affair.
and taken passage in the Cunard steamship

morning at II o'clock. The princess sait
she did not care for herself, but for he

Sowing Wheat in March the Season of
1860.
Col. John H. Stevens, of Minneapolis was
in the historical society rooms yesterday
looking up the old files Of his Glencoe Reg
lister of 1859 and go, to see what sort of
weather we had those days. He found the
following record under date of March 3:
':Altogetheri it has been one of the mildest and
most pleasant winters that we have ever en-
joyed,' wild geese flying northward-this
is a sign of an early spring.
Under date of March 10, the Register
says: "The weather during the first of the
week was remarkably warm and pleasant
The last vestige of snow disappeared, and
on Tuesday there was thunder shower.
MIR. Meyer informs us that he commenced
sowing wheat on Thursday last. He says
the ground was in as good condition as at
any time last spring. The experience of
farmers in this county we believe has been,
that the earlier they SOW their spring wheat
after the first of March, the better crop they
will GET
AS our farmers are about to SOW wheat
now, this item will be encouraging to them.

THE ,ST. Il. & i. IND DE GRlFF CON
TEST.

THE iyT. +. & i. md DE GRAFF CON
TEST.
Our reports of the meeting of both the
Senate and House railroad committees last
night gives the progress of the controversy
between the st. Paul & Pacific bondholders
and the DeGraf & Co. claimants. DeGraff
& Co. hold lien, given by the Legislature
last winter, on 100000 acres of land on the
st. Vincent extension. AS matter of
fact the land grant has lapsed, and
the chances are decidedly against
its renewal by Congress. If the
line is not built this season, the renewal will
surely be impossible. Here is a company
ready to build the road and give us connec-
ton with the Canada Pacific, and take it's
chances on securing the grant All it asks
is to have this lien removed. If the lien
remains, the grant certainly expires beyond
recall and the State secures no railroad, and
DeGraf q Co., secure no land.
The bond holders, in addition, offere to
meet DeGraff & Co. in the highest court of
the State to determine what equities exist.
DeGraff Il Co., it appears, obtained judg-
ment against Moorehead for certain prop
erty, bridge timbers, ties, etc., and still held
the property. The State commissioner al
lowed them this claim to the extent of $780,
900, and the very property which it covered
they were still enabled to hold and use in the
branch to Brainerd. Of the remainder of the
claimj 100000 is for interest which
with the 100000 of retained property, ag-
gregates 100000. AS the DeGraff claim is
$46S, 900, these two items deducted there
from leaves but $4,000 which they can
claim as really out Of pocket. For this, they
have received 100000 acres on the Brainerd
branch, and still wish to retain 100000 acres
more on the ST. Vincent extension.
If this DeGraf claim did not interfere
with the public interests, we do not know that
we should object to their using the Legislature
to collect claim Of third party, but under
the circumstances it seems as though the
Legislature ought to place the public welfare
above private collection claims, and SO legis-
late as to secure the lines to Alexandria and
Pembina the present season.

Yesterday the Princess was confined to her
room by illness, brought on by the worry
and excitement through which she had
passed. She says that she had no objection
to the publication of the extract from Truth
relative to her borrowing Il, 900 francs of M.
Delalarge. The latter, she AYERS, wanted 20
per cent. interest for the money, which she
refused to pay, and this was the origin of
the story. She denies entirely, as stated in

from her husband, or that the latter ever
pawned her diamonds.

A Requisite Proposition.

AS well might our Legislature engage in

and dictate where we shall buy these COM
modities, as to say where we shall purchase

sition, forces the conclusion that more or
less personal interest is involved.

the publication of seven papers per week,
and SO far as the moral question is concern
ed the hours of Sunday labor are SO few as
to render that objection very attenuated.
Certain it is that no employe on The
GLOBE objects on physical grounds to the
labor imposed and we submit that the men
who make The GLOBE are better able to judge
Of their physical needs than the petitioners.
The moral aspect of the case is another
affair. From close moral standpoint we
presume it will be held that whatever
ofense is involved in Sunday labor,
is as great for the few short hours of night
work as if the entire day was consumed.
Hence for the sake of the argument we
grant the premises that Sunday labor is in
volved There are then two points remain
ing. Is this Sunday labor necessary, and is
it for laudable purpose. The question of
necessity is determined by the public de-
mand. Street cars run on Sunday to &C
commodate the public. Gas works do not
suspend for the Sabbath, the labor
of lighting the streets, &C., is performed as
usual all to accommodate the public. Steam
cars and steam boats are operated on the
Sabbath for similar reasons, and we notice
among the signers parties interested in and
who control some of these Sabbath disre-
garding institutions The public desire to
know the occurrences of the world. The
progress of the age is such that it is unjust
to the public to deprive them Of
%In Of% Ia III
hours. A hiatus of forty sight hours is what
the petitioners would have and there is no
more reason for the public being deprived of
the news for that length Of time, than there
is for depriving them of various other ne
cessities.
The laudable nature of the enterprise is
hardly open for argument, as that is conced-
ed in the petition itself. The GLOBE is a
daily messenger of good to
the world. 1t is freighted with
instruction, with intelligence and with liter
allure which educates and entertains. 1t is
performing missionary work which does
| honor to the Sabbath instead of detract-
| ing therefrom. While we would be glad to
| oeIcOi'AiAhoo''o ouh Correspondents, Jul uuCles
to the great public are paramount, and
hence we must respectfully decline to stop
the revolutions of The GLOBE even for a
single day.
The Sunday labor occasioned by the service
in any church in st. Paul, is greater thar
the Sunday labor required to issue both the
Sunday and Monday GLOBE, and we may bt
permitted to add that each issue of TIL
GLOBE reaches farther than any sermon
Hence if greater good, with less labor, is &C
complished by the issue Of the Sunday o.
Monday GLOBE than in conductinga church
we do not see why The GLOBE should BIZ
called upon to suspend while the churches
remain open.
