SAN FRANCISCO, October 9.-Lientenant
Storey, who went upon the last trip Of the
revenue steamer Corwin for the purpose OF
distributing among the Indians Of Alaska
iye thousand dollars worth Of presents CIV
en- them by the Government in recoGni-
tion Of shelter and food afforded The officers
and crew OF The steamer Rogers, burn
ed in 1871, reports the discovery
Of an immense river hitherto un-
known to geographers. The river had
been vaguely spoken Of by tho Indians 10
former explorers, and Storey being COM
PEELED to await the return trip Of the Colwin,
determined to see il there was anything in
1t. Accompanied by one attendant and
an interpreter he proceeded inland from
Hotham Inlet in q southeasterly direc-
ton until he struck what he
believed TO be the mysterious river. He
raced II TO It's mouth, a distance Of about
10 miles, where he saw such immense
pieces Of floating timber as to satisfy him 1.
must have been OF immense sizs He re-
traced his stepsa distance Of 50 miles, where
he encountered natives from whom he
learned that TO reach the headwaters OF the
unknown stream wonld take several
months. The Indians told him they came
down It distance OF 1900 miles to meet
fur traders, and that the river went up
higher than that. Having no time TO 90
further, Storey returned. 1t Is his opin-
ion, as stated by those on the Corwin, from
whom this information has been Obtained,
that the discovery Of this river accounts
for the large amounts OF floating
timber in the Arctic ocean,
and popularly supposed to come
down the Yukon. The Indians stated
that theriver at some places was 20 miles in
width in the Arctic Circle, but in August
when Storey was there he found flowers
and vegetation not hitherto discovered in
such high attitudes. He has forwarded bis
reportto the Secretary OF the Navy and
hopes to be permitted to come back and
continue explorations.

up nearly every ward and the Democrats

not seem to have worked very greatly to
his advantage. Members Of his church
have taken serious umbrage at his remarks

with the suggestion that after April next
the salary ofthe pastor Of the Church Of
the Messiah will be reduced, and this
leaves but small opportunity for the
clergyman, even should he desire to rt-
main. 1t Is stated by his friends that Mr..
