Importation of Coolies.

More than 5000 Chinese arrived in
San Francisco between the first of last
December and the Odd of March. Had
the president signed the Chinese bill it
Is estimated twelve more cargoes of
coolies would have landed before the
law took effect, and this would have
added 5000 more. Now that there is
prospect of similar bill passing the
companies are striving to bring in Just
as many as they conveniently can in
the time remaining to them. They
might bring as many as $4,000 but for
the fact that the tea trade is about TO
open, and available vessels are more
prohtably employed in it than in carry
ing coolies,

How Stages are Robbed.

One Of the victims of the recent
stage robbery near Fredericksburg,
Tex, gave to the reporter of the Ex-
press statement of the affair: "This
is how it happened. One Of the men
did all the robbing, and the other stood
off little with a cooked pistol. The
one in charge of the job first took my
watch, which is very peculiar one,
probably none like it in America.
(The gentleman here showed the gold
watch to the reporter) 1t is of Euro
pean make, and a highly-prized present.
| told the roDber that if he took it, it
would surely lead to his detection and
probable arrest. AS said this / put
one hand in my watch.pocket, taking
out $50, and told him to take that, all
the money had. He seemed very
glad to get that and put back the
watch, leaving my ring and scarf-pin
also. He searched all my pockets be-
fore ne was satisfied. Having searched
myself and the driver to their hearts
content, they invited me to help them
rob the mail pouches, which | did, not
wishing to provoke them. They got
very little from the pouches. no.
ticed one take very fire watch from
the pouch. 1t was gold one 1t was
addressed to a United States captain
at San Angela, Tex. do not think
they got any money out Of the mail.
They kept us there about an hour, un-
til the other stage arrived. Not until
the other stage hove in sight did l be-
come at all frightened; for the robbers
stationed us in front, explaining that if
any shooting was done from the stage,
we would be the first killed. Then /
was little alarmed. There was tree
standing close by, and asked permis-
sion to get behind it. This they grant
ed. So felt safe. No resistance, how
ever, was made, as the stage had no
occupants-only the driver. The driv-
sr had $50 in his pocket, but they did
noS take It. They also went through
my satchel, but as it contained only
some wearing apparel, they did not
take it. They did take my fine blank
ct, Of English make, dark blue roam
| colored. The drivers were Jim Brown,
on my stage, and man called Ed on
the other. One of them told me be
was Bill Jackson, and said he was one
of the men who got away at Round
Rock at the time Sam Bass was killed.
One was tall man, about five feet ten
and half inches high, light complex
ion, and 20 years old. He looked some
thing like Billy the Kid. The other
robber was about five feet seven inches
high, dalk complexion, no hair on the
lace, small, quick eyes, of very genteel
appearance, and wore a white hat and
dark clothes. Neither were masked
nor attempted to conceal themselves
in the least"

More About the Jeanette.

CHICAGO, January 11.-Cbarles +. Put
nam, a graduate OF the Annapolis Naval
Academy in 1873, who Joined the United
States steamer Rodgers in search Of the
Jeanette, writes an interesting letter to
his mother in this city. The first section
OF the letter is dated United States steamer
Rodgers, Arctic ocean, August 20, 1881.
In il he speaks OF being at st. Michaels, in
the Pacific ocean, from August to IL,
and hearing nothing of the Jeanette or
her party; on the 18th OF sailing for Plo-
yer bay. on the Siberian coast. This con-
tradicts the dispatch that the Chasseur met
the Rodgers on the 9th OF August, and
that the Rodgers was steering for Herald
island. In point of fact the Chasseur could
not at that time have been in the Arctic.
and the Rodgers, which certainly had not,
was steering not for the Herald island, but
for small island in the Plover bay. The
Rodgers reached Plover bay on the 10th OF
August, and Master Putnam says did not
find the Russian man-of-war StrelOck, and
therein he again contradicts NJ. StOulowski.
That vessel, he says, left on the 18th, leav-
ing word that ii would meet the Rodgers
at st. Lawrence bay. They did meet the
Strelock on the 18th, and on the 10Th passed
through Behring Straits IN company
with her into the Arctic ocean. Mas
ter Putnam says: awe have heard OF
several sledge parties, both on the north
ern coast OF Siberia and on the coast near
Point Barrow, and some think it may turn
out that some Of the Jeanette party have
left the ship and started back by sledges.
We shall investigate the stories, first gong
to Cape Serdze Kamen, on the north coast
OF Siberia, and thence to eastward, where
we will find the whalers and learn from
them what they have heard" He speaks
of the fine weather, the thermometer being
400 all day, with no ice anywhere. The
Rodgers was prepared to remain two years,
he says, to find the Jeanette.
