oiatioa o! the Chinese immigration bill by the
leading papers of the country is causing the

siderable annoyance, aud he adds that many OF

Official advices from Sitka, received OF the
Treasury Department, are to the effect that
there has been some little riotipg among the
Indians at Sitka, bu! DC serious trouble. The
department has not ordered any vessel of The
revenue marine service to the place. It has
cutter at Port Townsend, which could reach
Sitks in three or four days. The reports Of
the contemplated humiliation Of The whites by
the Indians are taken with many grains of al
lowance. There are only about fifty or sixty
white people at Sitka. These ale naturally
alarmed at any demonstration by the Indians,
who could overwhelm them instantly.
