November 18th prints the following:
To all appearances, said Judge Smith
to Register reporter this morning, taxi
ing into consideration the general condi-
ton of the atmosphere, the direction Of the
wind and the general character of the
| storm, this season is very analogous to that
of 1660-61, when we had the raneist season
ever known on this coast. The years of
1S49 and 1853 were just such seasons and
the climatic conditions were precisely the
same in all cases" Judge Smith is a close
observer of the weather, and his predic-
ton that we will have q very wet season
may be taken as reliable.

Our Hoibrook (Arizona0 correspondent,
under date of November 12lh, gives the
following particulars of a speck of trouble
with the Navajo Indians. He says ~ We
occasionally have little sensational news,
among which, last week, was the killing of
Navajo Indian by white man, said to be
q cowboy. According to the Indian version
OF the story the Indian was herding sheep
on lands claimed by the cattlemen, when,
being ordered off, he refused to go, and was
shot by the white man. Fhe man who did
the shooting, and is stopping here. says the
Indians, four or five IN number, commenced
the shooting, and he was compelled to
shoe, the Indian in self-defense. Such
shooting is very reprehensible, to say the
least, as such acts very often cause the
death of some innocent person, as the In
dams seldom discriminate between the
innocent and she guilty party. As the

WASHINGTON, January 31.-Secretary
Chandler has directed the resumption
of work at the navy yards and stations,
which was suspended on the 1st of
January on account of the failure of
Congress to provide for its continu-
ance.
Secretary Lincoln has instructed
Brigadier General Augur to turn over to
the civil authorizes for prosecution such
leaders among the Oklahoma boomers
as violated section 2, 14S Revised Statues
relating to the subject in dispute.
1t is estimated the forthcoming public
debt statement will show reduction of
the debt for January, between seven and
eight million dollars.
The recommendation by the House
committee on military affairs appropri-
ations committee, for the creation of an
Office of assistant chief signal officer,
has been withdrawn, on the ground
that it is new legislation. The COM
mittee had previously decided not to
recommend new legislation of any
character.
The Star says it has been learned at
the War Department that the findings
in the Swain court martial had not
been received by the Secretary
of War. 1t was further learned, from
unquestionable authority, that up to
this morning the court had not even
voted on the case. 1t was thought,
however, that the duties of the court
would be completed to-dayand the find
ings submitted.
The same paper has the following
"AIr. Randall has not changed his views
concerning the appropriation for the
navy since his visit to Mr.. Cleve,
land. The bill will come up for
consideration next week, and he will
exert himself to defeat the proposition
to provide for new navy at this time.
There is a proposition under consider
alton now to give the naval committee
jurisdiction over naval bills hereafter
Randall has informed Cox, chairman
of the naval committee, that he would
not be opposed to such proposition.
