We therefore trust that immediate
steps will be taken looking to a change
in the management of our penal institu-

risk, for the reason that 1t would be
hardly possible to adopt system more
Injurious than the contract system. II is

Latest from sitka.

PoRT TOWNSEND, February ID. - The
steamer California arrived at Sitka on the
sd of January
Mike Powers, Pryor and their companions,
who were supposed to have been lost, were
found by the party sent to their relief One
OF the canoes had been wrecked, and the
party had suffered very much from exposure
TO the violent weather and scarcity of food.
On the 10Th an attempt was made to assas-
slnate Lieutenant Benson, who Is in com
mand OF the marine force of the jamestown.
AS he was passing at night near the Custom
house, some party unknown sprang upon him
from behind and endeavored TO trip him up.
Another drew pistol and fred one shot at
him, the ball going through the lapel of his
coat. Benson was unable to CLEAN an idea of
who the villains were owing to the darkness,
but he believed them to have been Indians.
By direction of Captain Glass, commander
OF the jamestown, Lieutenant Benson has
arrested three Russians and two white men
for distilling hoochenoo. He captured their
appliances and tools for distilling and de-
stroyed all the mash and liquor found. These
men, under charge of Lieutenant Hams, are
aboard the California, en- route to Portland
for trial before Judge Deadly.
On the morning Of the 18th Captain Glass
planned and perfected the most successful
and effectual raid that has ever been made
upon the Indian villages. A force of marines
were sent back of the village to prevent any
escapes, and three landings were made upon
the beach. Over 200 stills and l, 500 gallons
of mash and liquor were destroyed, besides
innumerable worms and other apparatus
seized. Everything in the shape of liquor
was destroyed, the Indians Offering no resist
ance, and in many instances turning in
formers on their friends. The raid was
mastery planned and skillfully executed.
The merchants of Sitka have adopted a reso-
luton not to import any more molasses or
Sandwich Islands sugar, from which hso-
chenoo is made.
There are co. 600 feet of lumber in Sitka
waiting shipment to the Takou mines.
A steam launch, under command of Lieu.
tenant Rockwell, was to leave on the 26th
for Takou for surveying purposes. The
mining districts will probably be surveyed
and properly located. Captain Glass insures
protection to all original locations against
jumpers. There are eight cabins built at
Takou. The snow is very deep. A road is
being cut through to the quartz mines. In |
the recent storms near Takou two canoes, |
containing thirty Indians, were swamped and |
all of them lost
The California left Sitka on the 18th. |

A CONVICTION AT LAST.

At last We are enabled to record a
triumph of Justice in San Francisco.
Wheeler, who strangled his sister-in-law
and packed her body in trunk, has been
convicted of murder in the first degree by
a jury who were only out one hour. The
defense in this case was, as usual, insanity,
but the counsel could only suggest that the
deliberation and GOODNESS with which the
crime had been perpetrated proved the
murderer to have been mad. This was al
together too thin theory, and the jury
evidently had no doubts as to their duty.
The murder was particularly cold blooded
and atrocieus one, and the murderer does
not appear to have shown the least trace Of
compunction or remorse to this hour. To
have disagreed in such plain case would
have been almost as disgraceful to the jury
as to have acquitted the defendant, but af-
ter the experience that has been had of
San Francisco juries it cannot be said that
much surprise would have been felt in
either event. It is to be hoped now that
nothing viii be allowed to interfere with
the prompt execution Of the sentence of
the Court. When a murderer has been
condemned to die the sooner he is dead the
better, and If any moral effect is to be had
from the punishment of this abominable
crime it ought to be made as speedy as pos
sibIe.

Tucson, February 5th.-A special dispatch
from Deming to the Star says: Yesterday
the connecting point of the A., 7. and S. f.
with the Southern Pacific was fixed at a
point eleven miles west of Deming. Super
intendent Towne, of the S. P, and Manager
Strong, of the A, 7. and S. F., closed the
business by wire, the former being at the
Palace Hotel, and the latter in palace car
at Deming. Connections Will be made
March 10Th. The track of the Southern Pa
cifc is laid within twenty-one miles OF FL
Paso.
Charles McLane arrived to-day from Quay
mas, Sonora. He reports the track OF the
Sonora railroad completed twenty-one miles
from GuayInas, track-laying proceeding at
the rate Of three-quarters of mile per day.
The road-bed is graded within six miles of
Hernosillo The Forest Queen arrived in
the port of Guaymas last Monday with addi-
tional locomotives, cars and material suai-

The Hardshell extension of Harshaw, and
the Total Wreck mine, of Empire both re-
port very rich strikes--the former 12-foot
aud the latter 12b foot vein. The ore in
both is almost identical in character. The
mines are forty miles apart. Horn silver pre-
dominates largely through the entire bodies
of ore.
Berge's jewelry store was burglarized last
night, and $500 taken. James Finch, alias

TIE JEANETTE SEARCH.


The Secretary of the Navy has replied
to the Geographical Society regarding the
proposal of the latter for Government
expedition in search Of the Jeanette. He
recognizes the propriety and urgency of
the demand, but shows that the Galena,
which was suggested for the work, could
not be got ready in time. He says that
the Wachusetts, now on the Mexican coast,
would be much more available, but that it
would cost as much to prepare her as to
build new ship and he suggests that the
best course would be TO purchase steam
whaler now in San Francisco, which is al
ready fitted for precisely this kind of work,
and which would require a very much
smaller crew than the Wachusetts. Deci-
dedly the whaler proposal appears to be
the soundest yet made, but it is to be feared
that if Government goes into the market as
a buyer of whalers their price viii at once
esscame fabulous.

.men is at work raising the engine and
cars. This washout extends about 150 feet,
and several other small ones have been
temporarily repaired. 1t will be week
before the trestle will be all right for the
passage of trains. On the line between UNA
tilla and Wallula Junction are several wash
outs, which will take week to repair. At
Wallula the bridge is gone, leaving two en-
gines on that end of the road. Two bridges
between Wallula and Walla Walla are also
gone, and a week or ten days will be required
to repair them. East of Fordyce is another
washout $50 feet long, and in places eight
feet deep. No damage has been done to
machinery, locomotives or cars, and the float
ing stock is all right. The Columbia, below
The Dalles, is rising rapidly at various points.
The loss of logs, lumber, cordwood and railroad
ties alone will be very heavy. Willamette river

owing to backwater from the Columbia.
Immense quantities of grain and merchan-
disc are being removed from the docks and
cellars. A teleEram from up the valley
stated that the Willamette is slowly falling.
Fears are entertained that the old break
water at Oregon City will give way. Should
this occur great damage to property there
will be inevitable. Trains on the west side
run regularly, notwithstanding the high
water On the east side several transfers
are made, by means Of which regular connec-
lions are made

THE FAUNA ON THE GLoBE.-Dr. Carl
Vogt divides the fauna on the globe into
four different regions, which were separated
from each other at different period. l. The
Australian region, which became indie
pendent at a very early period, and has
been separated from the other continents
at least since the commencement of the
tertiary period, and undoubtedly before
the appearance of the placental mammals.
q The Madagascar region, which remained
isolated since the period of the lower
eocene strata. 3. The Old World region.
4. The New World region which were sep.
ated during the eocene and miocene periods,
but were connected later during the plio-
Gene and postpliocene periods by stretches
of land over which migrations could take
place. During the eocene and miocene
periods, therefore, the animal migrations
were limited, just as at present, by the
existence of two oceans, and could only
take place upon the surface of the conti-
nents chiefly in the direction of the me.

Captain Glass, arrested two men at Wrangel
on the 10Th. They were taken in the very
act of brewing. All their stills. etc. were
captured and mash and liquor demolished.
Midshipman Woodwork and four marines
were left at Wrangel to make further investi-
CATION.
The Indians have been holding some terri
BILE debaucheries, assisted by white men, and
have had many fights among themselves and
with the whites. Captain Glass has taken
this matter in hand at the proper time, and
citizens of Alaska are loud in his praise.
especially the ladies of the missionary home
at Wrangel.
The California met two canoes of Indians
on the 10Th. They reported the burning of
Cellacoola, including the Hudson Bay Com
pany's station.
AS soon as the California came alongside
tine dock at this place Captain Stodder placed
the revenue marine steamer Wolcott at the
disposition of Lieutenant Harris, to convex
the prisoners to Tacoma. This was at once
accepted. The evidence in these cases is con-
elusive, and it is understood that they are to
be made test cases by the United States.
Sailmaker Thos A. Tassett accompanies
this command and is an important witness
in the cases. Likewise the marine guard.

PORTLAND, February 3d.--Jerry Lucky
an old and respected resident of Lane county,
committed suicide yesterday on his farm a
few miles below Eugene City by cutting his
throat from ear TO ear. For several days
past Lucky has been conducting himself in a
strange, erratic way, and his wife had noti-
he'd the authorities that he was insane Be-
fore the officers could reach his farm he got
possession OF a butcher. knife and committed
the deed. Deceased was possessed of very
considerable property, owning several val
liable farms. He was subject to spells of
dependency. By the recent high water he
sustained heavy damages, which is thought
to have seriously affected his mind.
News is just received of the drowning Of
four Cinnamon in the Columbia river near
Brookheld. Five were on their way from
Pillar Rock to Brookfeld in a small sliff.
The craft was capsized by the waves of
passing steamer, and only one was rescued.
The bodies have not yet been recovered.
PORTLAND, February 4th-Y esterday
very heavy wind-storm passed over Gervais,
in Marion county. a number of houses
were unroofed, and several buildings demol-
ished. A large school-house was carried
bodily nearly 100 yards by the force Of the
gale. The school was in session at the time,
and nearly 100 pupils were in the building.
Several children were severely injured by the
shock. So far as known no lives were lost.
From December Sd to January 31st, in.
elusive, nine feet of snow fell at The Dalles.
This is actual measurement, and is the
heaviest for the same length of time for
years.

SAN JOSE, February 9TH. - During the
month of December last numerous burglarles
of stores in this city occurred, greatly to the
mystitication of the police, who could find no
clue to the criminals During that time j.
G. Blacks grocery store, S. Strauss clothing
store, SCOTS grocery store and b. w. Wheel
er's fancy bazaar were entered and large
amounts of goods of all kinds taken, such as
coffee, tobacco, groceries of all kinds, and a
large assortment of fancy articles, including
iewelry, table and pocket cutlery, music
boxes, travelling bags, etc. These bags were
from Wheeler's place. On last Friday even
ing the Chief of Police of Sacramento arrived
in San Jose, and, from information given by
him, the officers visited the residence of Harry
Moody, on Ninth street, where they found an
immense quantity of goods, stolen from each
of the several places named, and also some
other things which none OF the gentlemen
mentioned as robbed identify as theirs.
Young Moody was at once arrested and is
now in jail. The whole affair has been kept
perfectly quiet, for reasons best known to the
police and the parties interested. Young
Moody is a son of Charles Moody of this
city, one of our most respected citizens and
member of the firm of Moody Bros, mill
ers of this city. Harry Moody is about "a
years of age, and has wife and child. lie
states that these goods were brought to him
by person and left for storage, he not being
acquainted with the fact that they were
stolen. After the police removed the goods
found, search warrants were issued to Scott
and Wheeler, who found other articles of
various kinds slowed away in drawers,
cupboards and other places throughout
Moody's house. Wheeler states to your re-
porter that only about one-third of his goods
were in Moody's possession at the time Of the
arrest, which would indicate that a division
of spoils had been made by the burglars be-
fore the things were deposited at Moody's
house. 1t is stated that two persons in
prison at Sacramento quarreled about the
matter Of half dollar, and the quarrel led
to the revelation to the Chief OF Police of
these burglaries and where the goods could
be found. Every one connected with the
affair is very reticent, refusing all informa-
ton. Among those acquainted with the
facts it is sincerely hoped that Mr. Moody
may be able to absolve himself from the
crime, both ON account of his connections,
which are of the highest in San Jose, of his
young wife and child and of his hitherto I'M
tainted good name. Moody has for long
time been the engineer of Moody's mill, of
which his father is halloween.
