ship California left Sitka February
10th, and arrived at Esquimall
February 14th. There was much
excitement when she left, the In.
dians having threatened the
annihilation of the whites. Citizens
were armed and awaiting theil
attack. The two Indians who mur.
dered James Brown confessed theil
guilt, were turned over to the Col
lector and are now on board the
California Ell route to Portland to
be turned over to the United States
District Attorney to await action OF
the authorities at Washington.
Three families came down on the
steamer, fleeing from danger. Store
Keepers are preparing to emigrate
by next steamer. Father Metrop-
olsky and his congregation, in con-
junction with the American citi.
zens of Sitka, petitioned the com.
mander of Her Majesty's man of
war, now at Esquimalt, to come to
their immediate aid, being
fearful that they cannot allay dis
turbances before the United States
Government can send assistance.
1t is rumored that Cutting & Co.'s
cannery, about four miles from
Sitka, was sacked and burned. No
reliance is place on the rumor, how
ever, because the company have
Indians in their employ who seem
to be peaceably inclined. The Col
lector OF Alaska has telegraphed
Secretary Sherman for aid. The
Indians threaten to kill two white
men in retaliation for the two pris-
oners. The night before the steam.
er arrived an alarm was given
through some nervous person,
creating the greatest CONSERVATION.
People barred their doors and stood
ready for action. The priests house
was crowded with terror
en- women and children who could
not be induced to return to
their homes till daylight. The
steamers arrival created more
confidence, but fear began to gain
ground at her departure. The
whites are we'll organized, and, in
case they cannot conciliate the In
diane, will make desperate fight.
James Brown was murdered in his
cabin while asleep. He was hack
ed to pieces with an axe, and his
remains thrown into the ocean.
Plunder was the incentive, much
of his property being found in the
possession of the murderers.

All About rne North Pole.

The Denver Tribune has found another
man who thinks he knows all about the
north pole. He is Capt. A. b. futile, a
sailor seventy years old, who has traversed
the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic and
Antarctic oceans, and who has been devot-
ing himself for the last t~wenty-eight years
to the far north. He is now on his way to
Washington to ask the Government for aid
in discovering the Pole, He ~pronounces
the Symmes Hole theory foolish, and
maintains that the true way to the pole is
through Behring's straits. He says that
he has reached latitude 80 degrees ID min
utes which is several degrees farther than
any other explorer has been. The sea was
comparatively open, with very little ice
except in the form Of icebergs. Sailing
through these he found much to feed his
theory of a continuously open sea to the
north and beyond that continent wherein
dwell q race which has no equal in point
of stature and endurance. He found works
which had evidently been cut and carved,
and elephants and mastodons' tusks
seven or eight yards long. He also
discovered gold and quartz together with
many other evidences which were to him
what the floating wood was TO Columbus.
Far to the north Of the land Of the Es-
quimaux he came upon a new race of men
seven or eight feet high, with Roman noses,
long black hair and whiskers, amiable,
virtuous and happy From them and
their signs he learned that 400 miles to the
north of them was the country from which
they came, pleasant, inhabited, easy to
reach, the home of large animals like the
m~astodon, Astounding in fish, game and
gold.

DAMAGES FOR SEDUCTION.
a San lose Girl's Fali-General Ma
glee Accused Of Her Betrayal, I'm
der n Promise Of Marriage.

from the s. F. Chronicle.I
The case OF Emily Hanks against General
Henry NJ. Naglee OF San Jose is pending in
the Supreme Court on an appeal from the
Judgment of the District Court. Plaintiff
sued to recover damages for seduction I'M
der promise Of marriage, and obtained judg-
ment for S27 500. Miss Hanks case is to
the effect thai she is a native of San Jose,
born in 1850, and was educated in that city
and San Francisco. Being left an orphan
at the age of 16, she went to live with
friends and maintained herself by domestic
service and sewing up to the year 1871,
when she accepted the position Of house
keeper for General Naglee. She remained
with him until 1875, resisting frequent at
tempts upon her chastity, several times
quitting service, and returning again on
promises OF the defendant to amend his
conduct. She finally left defendants house
on February Is, 1875, and went to live in
the house OF w. II. Collins, who procured
her a situation in the Mint. On the 5th
of June of that year plaintiff maintained
that she was overcome in her virtuous
determination through defendants pro-
testations of affection and a solemn promise
of marriage. The points maintained in the
appeal are that plaintiffs chastity failed
her shortly after entering the service of
General Naglee, and that illicit relations
existed between the two for four years con-
tinuously previous to the date of the al
legged seduction; that plaintiff demanded
and received an unusual rate of salary in
consideration Of such scandalous relations,
and the truth of this representation is
clearly shown by the purport Of numerous
letters produced and received by defendant
from plaintiff, and which was copied by a
friend Of plaintiffs; that plaintiffs testi-
mony was false in various essential partic-
ulars; that after leaving defendants service
plaintiff maintained an improper intimacy
with w. III. Collins aud that Collins was
the father Of the child ascribed to defend
ant; that plaintiff was discharged from
the mint in consequence OF her faithless-
meas TO Collins; that the promise Of mar
riage testified to by plaintiff was a promise
founded on a vicious and immoral consid-
GRAFTON, and therefore plaintiff cannot re-
cover damage for any breach of such prom
Use; that the damages of $27, 500 are ex-
c~essive, are not justified by any of the facts
or circumstances Of the case, and were
given by the jury under the influence of
passion and prejudice; and that TIE Dis
trict Court erred in ruling out certain ev-
idence and denying certain instructions to
the jury.

One Of the most important provisions IN

Discriminatory in his direction. The Leg
islature Of that State hiss passed . stringent
law against the carrying Of . pistol, the
penalty being the forfeiture Of the pistol, q
ans Of $50, and, at the discretion OF the
Court, imprisonment for thirty days.
Judge Lester, while holding court recently
n one Of the northwestern counties, sud-
denly suspended proceedings, ordered the
Sheriff 70 lock the door and let no one out;
he then informed those present hat he had
scen 4 pistol on one man in the room, and
that he felt it might be his duty to so be-
fore the Grand Jury and have hin indict-
Cd, but il he would come forward and lay
down the pistol and a fine of one dollar,
the matter would be overlooked. One
after another from among the lawyers.
witnesses and jurymen came forward, until
there were lying on the table nineteen pis-
tolls and revolvers, and as many dollar
bills. 'sThis is right" said the Judge, as
each one advanced, but you are not the
man." There was a pause, and the Judge
resumed "Gentlemen, here are nineteen
persons who have acted like men ; but the
man I saw has not yet come forward. l
will give him one minute longer to accept
my proposition if he does not in that
time. l will point him out to the Sheriff
and order that he be taken into custody"
Immediately two men in the rear OF the
courtroom arose. They looked at each
other . moment, but it was too late they
had committed themselves, and could do
nothing else than 60 forward and lay down
their pistols and their dollars. One of
these the Judge designated as the original
culprit, and the law having been thus vim
dicated, the Court proceeded with its 6
lar business.
