State OF A fairs At Sitka.
VICTORIA. Jan. 21-The steamer Caiifor-
mia arrived on Sunday morning from
Wrangel and Sitka. The people of Sitka
are In dread and fear for want of prOtec-
ton from the government. They say the
influence of the Alaska Fur Company is
the place. The Stka Indians
and the HOtzwin Indians were at war
when the steamer arrived, but ceased
hostilitcs while she lay there. They,
however, commenced again as soon as she
left, as large numbers were seen assem-
bling in their war paint and dresses. The
Indians are destroying many of the gov
eminent and other buildings which are
empty, and the people are not strong
enough to interfere to protect them.
The quartz prospect is good, but as yet
there has been no bona fide effort to de-
ve!op them.
Mr.. Dennis, the U. 8. custom house
officer at Wrangel, has made a RAID on
Hootzinoo whisky makers, both Indians
and white men. He discovered and de-
stroyed 81 stills, some whisky and much
material for making more.
A Modest Bill.
CHICAGO. Jan. 22.-The Times Wash.
ington special says: One of the most mod
est bills of the present session was intro
duced today asking government aid to
the extent of $50, OOO, 900, to build rail
road from the Atlantic to the Pacific via
Indianapolis, Chicago and Omaha. 1t has
sixty pages and serves to make the gener-
atty Of the Pacific bills appear ridiculous.
Banks' Mexican Railroad Bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The bill intro
duced in the house today by Gen. Banks
to facilitate commerce with Mexico pro.
vides for subsidy of $15, 900 per mile for
the proposed 600 miles extension of the
Harrisburg and San Antonio
from San Antonio to Ell Paso,
there to connect with proposed extension
of the Southern Pacific railroad to Califor-
MIA. The bill requires the completion of
100 miles more within four years, and the
whole within six years. In case, however,
one of the companies fails to reach Ell
Paso at the end of six years, the other is
to have the right to build onward to a
point Of junction, with tho same privile-
ges granted the uncompleted portion. The
subsidy of $15, 900 per mile Is to be paid
in cash from the U. 8. treasury upon CON-
pletion and equipment of each section of
10 miles. The bill also provides that the
government shall make no payments for
of troops or property over
the proposed railrovd extension until the
amounts thus earned by the railroad shall
equal the amount Of the subsidy advanced.
