The plague in Europe is creating
the greatest CONSERVATION, and every
effort is being made by all govern
ments to check it. L. S. Minister
kasson, writing from Vienna, says
that the Russian plague excites great
alarm in Germany, Austria and Hun
gary; that nearly allthe patients have
died and that six army surgeons and
nearly all who came in contact with
the dead had died, although disinfec-
tants were freely used. Mortality
among the sick in some places was
equal to 100 per cent. 1t sjust pos
sible that the present visitation will
be as terrible as that of the fifteenth

The snow storms of the last week
over this coast were very heavy. On
Puget Sound from FIVE inches to two
feet fell but went off quickly. On
the southern coast range there was
a heavy fall, deep in some of the val
leys. East of the mountains the sno W
ranges in depth from four inches to
three feet. In Wasco county, Oregon,
and in Klickitat and Skamania coun-
ties of the Territory, the snow is no.
where less than three feet deep. At
Hood River, it is five feet deep as
last reported. The consequence of
this heavy fall is great destruction of
stock in the upper country, and many
farmers will be about closed out by
il.

1t turns out that McMahon's resig-
nation of the Presidency of France is
not so magnanimous after all, if we
can rely upon the latest reports. A
Paris correspondent states that Nc
Mahon's refusal to accept the result
of the elections and remove obiec-
tional civil and military officers was
due to personal friendship and other
motives publicly assigned, but fear
of being included in the threatened
impeachment of the ministry, and
particularly to the influence of the
bishop of Anglers, an active politician
of the church; also, that the scene in
the council chamber when MacMa-
hon resigned was very stormy, he be-
ing in furious rage, interrupting
Dufaure with foulest oaths, and leav-
ing the chamber abruptly in tower
ing passion.

Although the bill restricting Chi
nese immigration to this country has
passed it is stated that it is so imper-
feet law that it can be very easily
evaded. The Chinese can be landed
in British Columbia or Mexico and

ton. If this is the case Senator Sar-
gent can claim equal rank with Den

Delegate Jacobs, of Washington
Territory, has introducedin the house
of representatives joint resolution
which provides unless the Northern
Pacific railroad company shall COM
plete one hundred miles of railroad
on its main line, twenty-five of which
shall be west Of the Rocky mountains
and also twenty miles on it's branch
in Washington Territory within one
year from the passage of the resolu-
ton, the land heretofore granted, both
for branch and main line, then I'M

There is meat in the above cocoa
nut of Jacobs-Seattle meat-for the
resolution if passed compels the road
to make Seattle its terminus or aban-
don its land grants. Jacobs has been
ever faithful to Seattle and its inter-
ests, which are generally included in
the phrase "Seattle or nothing" If
the people of that city dc not give
him something handsome when he re-
turns home they will always be looked
upon as filled with base ingratitude

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1879.

Reports from Alaska show the sit
uation there to be alarming. The In
dams appear to have begun to carry
out their oft repeated threats to rid
themselves of the white population,
and at last accounts the white people
of Sitka had taken refuge in the
priests house for protection against
the savages. That a portion of the
Territory over which the stars and
stripes are supposed to float should
be left entirely unprotected by a
military or naval force and without
any show of civil government is a
lasting shame and disgrace to our
boosted institutions. The prompt
action of the British authorities at
Victoria in sending a naval vessel to
the relief of the people of Sitka is a
reproof to our government to take
prompt measures to afford constant
protection to our citizens in Alaska.
Civil government should at once
be given by Congress to that far
off Territory and naval vessel kept
constantly in Alaska's waters.
