tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIDUSEl
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The bill providing a civil
government for Alaska came up for discussion
again in the Senate to-day and number OF Sena-
tors spoke against the clause relating to the estab
lishment of schools. Mr.. Plumb was against appro-
priating money for educational purposes, and de-
clared that the inhabitants did not want 1t. Sena-
tor Ingalls, said that if he were not IN
favor of the unihcatiOn OF the entire
continent he should strongly advise that Alaska be
turned over to any Power that would promise 10 un-
dertake is government and educate It's chlldren.
In his opinion it was the most worthless tract
Government was ever afflicted with. The Govern
ment would 90 far enough if il extended the faclll-
ties for the administration of law, and provided 1Qr
these nOmadlc tribes proper tribunals before winch
they could settle their disputes.
Senator Jones, of Florida. wanted to see rev
enue system established III the Territory lie
wished to see the Constitution and the laws OF the
United States carried into the Territory not merely
the laws of Oregon, as proposed by the bill. Sena-
tor Garland did not know why the government
ever acquired the Territory; but as IT had done
so it was clearly its duty to provide suitable
laws for its government. Mr.. Dawes spoke warmly
in favor of doing something for the Territory.
1t was time to consider what was the GoyernmeIts
duty toward that far-ofl country. lie differed WIN
Senator Ingalls, and should favor putting into the
hands of the Commissioner of Education sufficient
money for carrying out the provisions OF the Dill III

WRIGHT BLAMED.
/ fBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
Rw-BEDFoRD, JAM GA reporter visited the
Chronometer Club, society Of retired captains,
Tuesday afternoon, for the purpose of learning tho
views of some of the more experienced seamen on
the depth of tho water over what has been tele-
ersphed ss the mussel-bed outside of DEVILS
Bridge. II has been reported that the steamer
might have struck on the mussel-bed. One Of the
captains Ian ghed at the idea of the steamer striking
on that shoal. Even If she did" said he, III
could not nure her. especially as she was of iron,
There is more than fifteen feet Of water outside Of
buoy on mussel-bed. No vessel of the draft of tho
City of Columbus could touch on that bed Ducks
and like seafowl 20 there to feed the mussels and
it is a great place for sportsmen- l know the
water is deep enough to float the steamer
Another captain said: Captain Wright, in my
opinion told the truth when he said the buoy was
on the port bow The vessel was inside the buoy;
but when she struck she swung so that IL brought
| the buoy on the port. | think the captain Is TO
| blame for not being at his post He went to his
room at 1:1O o'clock for ten minutes; but did not
| return until $40 when he heard an order 70 pOrt
the helm."
THE SECOND MATE "o OUGHT To BE HUNG"
Another old captain blamed the second mate who.
in his opinion was asleep. He should be alive, in
order that he might be found and hung fourth
captain who had been around the world
| several times. did not blame the captain,
| but blamed the second mate, as tho
captain had brought the steamer through all
the bad places and when he left her the course was
perfectly straight one. The quartemaster is not
! to blame in any manner. He is "A sailor; he was
| given his and steered. He knows no buoys
or lights he only knows his compass, and he says be
steered lust as he was ordered TO- His is fully
| occupied in watching his compass, and he sees and
| knows nothing but that especially in the night

Ii was the general opinion of all these captains
that the steamer lay just where she struck, and al
| agree that had the steamer backed zen ieet sns
