Many Deaths and Much Destitution-An
American Officer Censured.
PORT TOWNSEND. July 27.-Steamer s. L.
Mastick arrived from Sitka. United States
steamer Wachusett dropped into Sitka June
18th. A rigid quarantine was enforced. After
coaling she sailed for Wrangel, June 21st,
taking both surgeons and leaving no medicine
for the sick. A number of the guard have
been attacked. Deaths among Russians and
Creoles from the plague, combination of
scarlet fever and measles continue, causing
much destitution and want of actual neces-
saries of life, and only a lack of material will
cause cessation of mortality which is simply
fearful Much Indignation is felt at the
course of Commander Pearson in not leaving
a medical officer at Sitka.

Theaters in Russia.

Russian theaters are, comparatively
speaking, very juvenile institutions. A
century ago there were scarcely any
theatrical performances in either of the
two capitals. The first italian opera
burg was Paisiello's B0r6iere M SigUig-
I'M, and in the same year an Englishman
named Maddox opened the first theater
in Moscow. The Czarina Catharine IL,
who found her mania for English Gus
toms, comforts, and dependents, and for
French fashions ard philosophy, quite
compatible with an abiding love for a
homemade and unrelenting despotism,
graciously extended her patronage and
gave handsome pecuniary support to q
company of English actors under the
management OF Mr.. Fisher; but after
three or four years the British comedians
waxed fat and kicked they were contin-
ually quarreling among themselves, and
at last Mr.. Fishers company melted
into thin air.
Catharine's successor, the luckless
Paul, abhorred all things English, and
bestowed his crazy affections on French
plays and players but the most halcyon
days of Russian theatricals were, per-
haps, some fifty years ago, when the
famous native lOri710 donna, Mad. Sem
enof, rivaled the French c0nt0trices,
Mesdames Albert and Branchue, when
the Muscovite Talma was the famous
tragic actor Caratiguine, whose wife
better known under her maiden name Of
Colossof- played Russian and French
characters with equal facility and felic-
ity. The 1orinaG boIlerir1o of this bril-
liant epoch was Mile Istomina, a pupil
of Didelot; Mesdames lie Bras Paule
were the leading stars of the French
troupe, and a "run" of unprecedented
duration was enjoyed by an operate
farce by Won Ignatz Schuster- The
Sham Catalina. Nor were the interests
of the native drama neglected. The
Government gave no less sum than
2O0. 900 roubles for the dramatic enter.
tainment of the holiday folk only at
Christmas and Easter, while for the en-
couragement of native dramatic authors
a voluminous scheme was drawn up in
the Imperial Chancelleric dividing origi-
nal dramatists and translators of foreign
plays into five categories or classes, and
decreeing that they should enjoy during
their lifetime a part of the receipts of
the Imperial Theaters, On scale pro-
portionate to the length and Importance
of their productions. An author Of the
first class might commute his life royalty
for lump sum not exceeding 1000 ru-
bles, an amount then equivalent to $500.
Russian playwrights have done good
work since the furnishing days at which
we have glanced.-Lor'don Daily TeIe-
