Alaska Affairs.

The Indian Commissioners recommend
that the general land laws should be ex-
tended over Alaska. The natives claim
only the lands on which their houses are
built and their small contiguous garden
patches. They should be granted these
lands in severalty. and protection Of their
fisheries should also be secured. Most Of
the lands occupied by Russians, Creoles
and. others have no recorded titles. The
country should be opened to bona fde set
tiers. Timber lands should be sold in
large tracts at low figures, as they are sit
ua,e at high attitudes. and are expensive to
utilize. Coal lands should be sold cheap
TO encourage development.

1uCFchSo III AAhEusGh6SS Hk1tG0s
The Southern Pacific Company has ar
ranged q new schedule OF third-class
passenger rates, to take effect Immediately.
These are considerably higher than now
quoted. For instance. the Chicago rate
from San Francisco 10 now $50 80, the new
rate is $50; New York, which is now
$40 80. will be $75 25; Albany is raised
from 500 so to $74 80; Baltimore, from
S68 30 to $72 so; Boston, from $T2 80 to
SIT 25 and $78 Is, according to route;
Buffalo or Niagara Falls. from $64 so to
$40 IS; Cincinnati, from $50 so to 500;
Cleveland, from SCI 80 to $66; Council
Bluffs and other Missouri river points
remain the same; Detroit, from $50 80
to SOS; Fitchburg, Mass, ST 30 &c

Philadelphia, 500 to $73 70; Portland,
Maine. via Montreal, S72 80 to $78; st.

to $7l SO. This announcement will, no
doubt, somewhat surprise those persons
who have been expecting only lower rates

third. class rates from the East. 1t is also
reported that the company will reduce

A Review of the General Sftua-
ton.


ton.
The subjoined article from the New
York Engineering and Mining Journal has
a local interest,": Like copper and spelter,
lead is in q strong statistical position, and
unlike those metals, the market il con-
trolled by what is known as the "Cawith
Combination" As we have indicated in
this report during the past few months,
the price has steadily advanced, and has
fairly attained the figure 4hc., which q
month ago we reported 1t would probably
reach. Now the objective figure has adj
vsnced to Az c., and even 4Ac. is spoken
of as a possible price.
The statistical position is about as fol-
lows: From 1000 to 5000 tons in New
York, said to be all held by the GO. c."
(Cswith Combinstion). About 5000 tons
held by the Richmond Company in Ne
vada. and said to be tied up by the courts.
though we have nc assurance that the
court might not order it sold on the re.
quest Of the parties to the litigation. There
is scarcely any stock in other hands,
30 that $4,000 tons would cover the
entire stock in this country. 1t Is all, ex-
cept the Richmond, practically in the hands
OF the G O." The consumption last year
absorbed our production, and this year
the output has greatly declined. By some
this reduction 10 set at from &c, 900 TO 49,
600 tons. The combination claims that
the consumption Ia now exceeding our
production, Int that the stocks must be
called upon to supply the difference. We
have not the data to substantiate this
statement, but it Is certain that produc-
ton has declined heavily, and that con-
sumption aud production are about equal,
il they do not favor the seller. Hence the
ability to advance the price from 8 Coo. to
4 Csc, and everything indicates the prob
ability of the figure being forced to 4 800.
Should the combination withhold its sup
port, the price would weaken, notwith-
standing the favorable statistical position
of the metal.
Sales have amounted to 600 or 700 tons,
at from 4 l0c., at which some was taken
by consumers early in the week, to 4kc.,
az which the 20. O." has purchased some
800 tons to-day.
In London, the price OF soft Spanish
lead has declined slightly from fi2 10s.,
at which ii stood during the week, TO
fl2 81. to-day. The London papers are
advocating a lead combination over there,
but the advance in price seems rather TO
have provided an antidote by starting up
some Of the abandoned lead mines.

Another Mail service Reduced.

Reduction OF the mail service through
ous the State appears to be the order of the
day with the Postofice Department at
Washington: An order has been issued
from the Department, reducing the mail
service between Elko and Tuscarora and
White Rock to twice a week. Daily service
Is now being had on both routes. The
order IL to take effect on the 10th inst. II
Is probable that after that date no stages
wiii u between that place and Elko on
Sundays. The reduction 10 probably made
on the SCORE OF economy. Since the re-
auction OF postal rates there has been a
heavy falling off in the receipts. aud the
Department appears resolved to lessen
proportionately the expenses Of the serv-
Zoe. We believe that q large majority OF
the people Of the nation would prefer
higher rates and increased service.

ESPECIAL TO THE sENT1sEL.l
SAN Francisco, Aug. 10.-The Austria
liam steamer Zealandia arrived here at IL
O'Clock this morning, having on board
Walter Lennox Maxwell, who, il is sup
posed, murdered Arthur Preller at st.
Louis on April 6 last. He was in charge
OF the officers sent to bring him back to
this country. Maxwell positively refused
10 make any statement respecting the
crime with which he is charged, saying be
had been strenuously advised by his coun-
sci before leaving Auckland not to open
his mouth except to put food in it. The
officers in charge were equally reticent on
the subject and declined saying anything
about the crime or Maxwell's supposed
connection Herewith. Maxwell looked
cheerful and said that he never felt better
in his life. He will be taken East to-mor-
row. On the passage from Auckland Max
well was msnacled at night, and the W
detectives kept six-hour watches over him
day and night. He maintained perfect
case during the entire trip of 81 days,
never giving the detectives the slightest
trouble. Two carriages we're in waiting at
the steamer landing, and the detectives,
with Maxwell, were driven to the City
Prison, where the prisoner will remain
until his departure tomorrow afternoon.
When he arrived in the prison he said his
name was Danguier, q F~renchmsn, Q
native of Paris and aged "a years. He
acknowledged having known Preller, but
beyond this he refused TO say more, repeat
ing what he had previously said that his
attorneys in New Zealand cautioned him
about saying anything of the crime with
which he is charged. Ex.Police Surgeon
him il he spoke French. He replied that
he spoke the patois of Norman French.
DR.. CLARK said he was familiar with that
patois. whereupon Maxwell suddenly
checked himself and refused to further
continue the conversation. Capt. Lees,
Chief Of the city detective force, who
mainly worked up the evidence against
Maxwell when the latter passed through
this city last April, says the prisoner is a
Scotchman with an assumed accent. The
detectives, at the suggestion OF Capt. Lees,
provided Maxwell with clean clothing pre-
paratory to having him photographed.
When he had finished his toilet he looked
more like the description published. The
entrance TO the City Prison Is surrounded
by g crowd, eager to get o glance at the
notorious prisoner.
