The sad fate of Lieut.. DeLong and
all his party, with the exception of
two of them, has already been publish
ed. Their boat reached the northern
mouth of the Lena on the 18th of
September, last, but were prevented
from entering the river by a bar.
They abandoned the boat and waded
to the shore. Here they found q
reindeer or two, and after resting
started southwark, but were unfortu-
nate as to their course, and got into a
desert where they perished from star
vation. The Lieutenant and ten of
his men were found dead, on the bank
of the Lena, where they were left on a
morning early in October by the two
strongest men of the party, Noros and
Njnderman, the commander having
chosen them to push forward in search
of food or natives. At that time the
food supply was utterly exhausted,
the only sustenance for some time had
been a small quantity of brandy per
day, and the frostbitten, suffering
wanderers were too worn to go further.
The captain held divine service, the
little company being seated on the
river bank, and then the men tearfully
said good-bv to their depsrting COM
rades, who were to see them no more
alive. Death from starvation could
not have been long delayed.
The two made their way south
They shot one grouse and caught an
eel, and that was all the food they had
for days. They made a tea from the

From The Youths Companion.
His soul was one with nature everywhere;
Her seer and prophet and Interpreter
He waited in her courts for love of her,
And taught the lessons that he gathered there
The songs the wild birds sang; why flowers were
fair;
The sense of that divine, tumultuOus stir
When spring awakes, and all things minister
To love; and hope and joy are IN the air.
Do the winds miss him, and the fields he knew,
Aud the far stars shat watched him night by night,
Looking from out their steadfast dome OF blue
To lead him onward with their tranquil light
Or do they know what gates he wandered through,
What heavenly glory opened on his sight!

TIE Beers IN TROUBLE.

The Beers are again in trouble. They
have fallen out with one of the native
tribes have undertaken to chastise the ma
tives; and have suffered twos defeats.
There is nothing surprising in this, for they
are not strong enough to fight the natives
without help, and they cannot be per-
suaded to refrain from quarreling with
those who should be on good terms with
them. It has been expected ever since the
peace was made between them and the
British that they would entangle them
selves in serious native war, and now
they seem to have done so. Judging from
the past they will now keep up the conflict
until they have brought down all the native
tribes on their frontier, and when they
find themselves overmatched, and in danger
of being driven out of their territory, they
will call for help. But it is evident that
unless they are willing to give guarantees
against future quarrels with the natives
it can be of no permanent utility
to assist them, and that they will
continue to make trouble for Cape Colony
as long as they retain their independence.
If they are left to their own devices they
will probably be forced eventually to sue
for peace to the natives. If they are
helped they will learn to look for help to
their powerful neighbors whenever their
own folly has brought them into scrape,
and thus they will be a continual source
of danger and turbulence on the frontier.
They are in fact particularly intractable
and perplexing people. and with their
strong prejudices in favor of slavery, they
cannot be trusted in contact with the
natives. Sooner or later it will become
necessary to deal with them in such way
that they shall cease to be perpetual diff
ficulty to South African progress.

claim of divine authority for the infrae-
ton of the laws and the permanent degea-
dation Of the female sex, would, however,
be fatal to any Government, and it cannot
be permitted in this case. Polygamy is
moreover an exotic, and has no real foot
hold in America. Its growth in Utah has
been a forced one, and if not sustained by
constant extraneous aids it would die ont
of itself in less than generation. But it
cannot be left to itself by the United
States. There must be no mistake about
its determination, nor must the Mormons
be permitted to carry it into any other Ter
ritory, or to maintain it secretly under the
plea of persecution. That cry has in shert
no application to this case, and Mr.. Can
non will find that the American people,
though prepared to tolerate every form of
religious belief, draw the line at practices
which are not only subversive of the laws
of the country, but of its civilization The
Mormons will obtain no sympathy if they
essay the part of martyrs to their faith
and if they are wise they will surrender
cheerfully practice which they cannot be
allowed to perpetuate.

cANNoN's VIEWS.

Delegate Cannon thinks the anti. polyg.
amy bill is very unjust to the Mormons,
but that they will submit to it. He is of
opinion, however, that it will not have
the effect intended, because it is in the
nature of religious persecution. That is
an old argument, but it has its limits.
Whenever community undertakes, under
the plea of religion, to go counter to the
laws of the land, and to establish an alien
civilization, it will become necessary to
legislate against the practices Of That com.
munity, and moreover to crush those
illegal practices out In this case, how
ever, it cannot even be seriously main.
tanned that the religion of the Mormons
authorizes what they have done. The SO.

VICTORIA, March lGth.-A terrible explo-
sion occurred at Camp - yesterday. Hugh
Craig was sent into the magazine at the end
of 10 tunnel to get some fuse. In the maya
zine were eight cases of giant powder and
fourteen kegs of black powder. Suddenly
there was a tremendous explosion. that shook
everything for half mile. Craig was blown
up against the roof of the tunnel, and fell to
the ground in a shattered and unrecognized
mass. Thomas Williams, at the forge $50
feet away, who saw the whole occurrence, is
injured in the hands. eyes and head, and has
his ear-drum ruptured. John Lawson was
badly cat in tie right arm. aud Jim Dugan,
who was standing only about 20fest off from the
magazine strange to say, was only slightly
hurt in enc eye. Craig belonged to San
Francisco. No one knows what occasioned
the explosion, but the supposition is that
Craig attempted to remove cap from the
fuze, and that in doing SO exploded the giant
powder.

WILL THE CHINESE BILL ANSWER
ITS PURPOSE?

We publish elsewhere letter from
correspondent, who suggests several doubts
as to the efficacy of the new Chinese bill.
The considerations in regard to the diff
Guilty of preventing Chinese from entering
the State either from Mexico or British
Columbia, have been presented before, but
though they are not new they are difficult
to meet. 1t is no doubt true that the
whole coast north and south of us is prac.
tically unguarded, and it is equally true
that the new bill makes no provision for
guarding it, even if that were possible. It
may, however, be assumed that the Chinese
will for some time at least be guided by
the warning which this law embodies,
though it seems probable that this state of
things cannot be depended on as likely to
be permanent. OF course it is possible
that Mexico may follow the example OF
California, and exclude the Chinese, and
British Columbia may do the same. In
the latter. country the feeling against them
is quite as strong as in this State, and the
Colonial Legislature may at any time take
action in the matter. The case of Mexico
is somewhat different, though we cannot
agree with our correspondent that the
wild Cinnamon" of that country are
likely to welcome the Mongolians heartily.
Mexico, however, has need of an active
and industrious immigration, and the Gov.
erDment may be induced, partly by the
prospect of building up an oriental com.
merce, to offer special facilities to these
people. In that event it would be very
difficult, if not impossible, to keep them
from crossing our southern frontier.
Our correspondent is of opinion that one
effect of the new law will be to cLeapen
labor on this coast. He argues that the
expectation of the cessation of Chinese
competition will promote immigration to
California that as in fact the new law
will not cause any diminution in the mum.
Der of the Chinese here, the new immigra-
ton will find itself q fresh competing
element in field already supplied and
that as a consequence the rate of wages
will be reduced in this State to the East
ern standard at least. It must be admitted
that this is plausible argument. 1t is in
deed quite probable that the intelligence
of the passage of the anti Chinese bill may
draw many immigrants this way. They
will come under the erroneous belief that
the Chinese are banished. They will find
on their arrival that the situation is prac.
tically unchanged. And once here, having
for the most part spent their little means,
they will be obliged to accept work at
lower than the local current rates. It is
true that the Chinese who are here have
been looking forward to the passage of
this bill with great anticipations. They
have calculated that its first result would

CONSULAR AID DIPLOMATIC APPRoPgI-
ATIoNS.

1t is a pity THAI Congress cannot make
Rp it's mind what to do about the consular
aud diplomatic system. 1t has been urged
N some quarters to abolish the whole sys.
Sem as an unnecessary expense 1t has been
told also that it would be very foolish to

sentation has always been on a parsimoni.
Gus scale in comparison with that of other
nations, and those other nations have never
been able to appreciate the reasons given
for what we have been pleased to excuse
by calling it our republican simplicity"
They call it republican niggardliness, but
what is of practical consequence is the
consideration that our representatives
abroad have often lost ground through their
inability to vie with their colleagues in
social arrangements. A few years ago a
slight Improvement was made in this re.
spect, but it remains true that no United
States envoy receives anything like tie

ropesn diplomatists of the highest rank

RUSSIA AND TIE CORRESPONDENTS

RUSSIA AND TIE CORRESPONDENTS
The Russian Government has nov un.
dertaken task which it may find even
more arduous than the pursuit Of the
Nihilists. 1t is endeavoring to ascertain
how certain foreign journals secured re-
ports of the recent trials of the Nihilists,
notwithstanding the rigorous exclusion of
the press, and the prohibition of all
revelations concerning the proceedings.
The New York Herald contrived to Sc
cure full reports OF the trials, and it APP
pears that these reports were so faithful
angry. 1t has, therefore, ordered that all
the foreign correspondents In Russia shall
be cut off from Geographic correspondence
with the journals they represent, and
probably it will also take measures to have
their mail examined before it passes the
frontier. OF course the Government can
stop the Geographic transmission of news,
because the operators cannot avoid respon-
sibility. AS to the letters, however, that
is quite different matter, and we shall be
very much surprised if the correspondents
do not show the Russian police that
it is far easier to issue orders of this kind
than to enforce them. In Russia, however,
the correspondents chief reliance is his
purse. There are very few Russian off,
Gals, from the lowest to the highest, who
are not amenable to bribery, and it has
never yet been found possible to get Rus
sian police officers who were above sus-
picion in this regard. 1t is indeed possible
that some of the more enterprising among
the correspondents may go SO far as to try
to keep the wires working in the teeth
of the Government This of course would
be dangerous, and very apt to involve an
enforced journey to Siberia if detected,
but money will achieve wonders, even
against despotism. The Russian Govern.
ment cannot hope to conceal the facts
brought out at the Nihilist trials unless
it is prepared to drive all the foreign cor
respondents out of thu country, and even
then it would fail, for its own people
will do the work of the foreigners for a
consideration. Governmental proceed
ings of this kind are ill.advised, for they
usually effect nothing more than the di-
recting of attention to matters which
might otherwise have been passed over
with little remark,
