PORTLAND, Ore. Dec. 30.-The Ore
0onian's Seattle, W. T., special says: A
terrible story was put in circulation here
to-day. 1t WAS to this effect: An Italian
boatmam left Victoria one day last sum
mer with seven Cinnamon for the Ameri-
can side of the straits Of Fuca. When
almost across he saw the United States
cutter, Oliver Wolcott, coming towards
him with the evident intention of exam
lining his craft He became alarmed, and
to avoid the penalties attaching to the of
tense Of smuggling Chinese into the
United States. resolved to make way with
the violence Of his guilt. He called the
Cinnamon u Of the cabin ons by one
and as they came he struck them on the
head with a club and pitched them over
board. In this way he got rid of the
whole number, and when boarded from
the cutter no evidence whatever of a
eliminating nature was found. An
investigation will be made with a
view to a%scertai' ing the truth or falsity
of the story. A recently convicted SNUG
gler, now in the United States peniten-
tiary tells this story.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-The Star says
that in his report upon the work Of the

the various reservations during the sum
mer recess of congress. Holman is going
to recommend the appointment of a com
missioner to take tho matter in charge of
giving land in severalty to such of the In
dians as are far enough advanced in civil
izatlon to warrant such action. and assem-
bling the rest in one locality as far as
practicable. At present he SAYS the res.
ervations are scattered all over the coun
try, and their lands arc useless 10 the In
dams in many cases. Some of these
lands should be sold in their interest, and
such of the Indians as are Fl friendly should
be put upon some reservation in certain
cases, and kept there until ultimately they
have reached a state of civilization that
would warrant their having lands in sew
crafty and becoming citizens, There are
some cases where it would not do to move
the Indians from their present locality. or
to interfere with them, as their attach
ment to their homes is very strong. Tn
most such cases land in severalty should
be given them.

Double Tragedy In Charleston.


CHARLESTON, Dec 30.-At Mount
Pleasant village, neal this city. to-day, a
terrible tragedy was enacted. Il. Geretti,
an Italian, was beating his wife, when his
brother, s. Geretti, and James P. Col
burn, a well known insurance agent of
this city, interlered in the woman's be-
half. The wife. with her four little chill
dren, escaped from the infuriated hus-
band, who, incensed at the interference,
crept up behind Colburn and fred three
shots at him, one of the bullets lodging in
the spine and inaicting what is thought to
be a fatal wound. After shooting Col
burn, Geretti fed to his farm, about a
quarter of a mile distant, pursued by
the town marshal and a posse. He locked
himself up in his house, and the posse be-
ing unarmed deied them to arrest him.
While his pursuers were celebrating,
Geretti placed the muzzle of his pistol in
his mouth and blew out his brains.

How 1t Happened.

CHICAGO, Dec. 3d. Mike Cleary left
last evening for Philadelphia. where he
will spend New Years day with friends.
He looked hearty and in fine condition;
not a scratch was visible upon his face to
indicate that the night before he had re-
ceiyed as much punishment at the hands
of the Irish Lad" as he ever had in his
life in the same space OF time.
How do you feel, Mike p" asked the
reporter.
"Me2" said the Frisco man. with a
lock of surprise at the question. Why,
l feel all right. of course. l got a little
punch in the neck that knocked me silly
for a moment, but any man in the bust
ness is liable to get that, you know"
Rather a tough punch, wasn't it r"
We'll, yes, it felt that way" said the
pugilist, as he passed his hand over his
jaw, 'but I've put in as tough ones my
self, and seen my man go down the same
way"
Burke stepped in from an adjoining
room at this moment, aud the two shook
hands with a hearty grip.
"Yoy are as good as they make 'em,
my lad, said the Frisco man. Il wasn't
looking for that right. a bit; had my eye
on your left. you know, for | had not for
gotten how it picked me of my feet in
the first round. But it comes to the best
Of US, some time, and 1 expect it will
come to you, ifyou stay in the business"
Its liable to-" replied the Irish lad,
quietly. II am always looking for it
though, when there's any danger of it.
Jimmy" said Cleary, pulling a wry
face, Il had to telegraph to Frisco that
[ was knocked out. That is one of the
things | hated to do"
Whom do you expect to meet next2 "
asked the reporter.
"Oh, l shall take it easy for six months
or so. | was surprised last night to feel
how little | could stand. l thought |
never was in better shape when l climbed
over the ropes, but after the first round
my stomach went back on me, and | be-
gan to feel weak"
Considering the fact that Burke
knocked Cleary off his feet in the first
round with a left handler over the right
eye, and sent him whizzing into the ropes
six feet away, and afterwards pounding
him in the stomach with his left and
right until the round ended, it is perhaps
scarcely to be wondered at that his stom-
ach should have gone back on him, or
that he should have felt weak.

Death Rather Than pisgrace.

NEW Yo3K, Dec. 3O.-A special from
Newport, R l., says that Lieut.. Jones, of
the 4th United States artillery, returned
to duty at Fort Adams last night, having
overstayed his leave of absence about a
week. This preyed upon his mind, and
rather than submit to a court martial and
its disgrace, he decided to die. Early this
morning he arose, dressed himself, and
reported for duty. He subsequently re-
turned to his quarters, and shot himself
in the head with a revolver, the ball en-
tering his brain, and his death is but the
question of a few hours. he was a pop
ular young officer, and unmarried. His
relatives and friends reside in Cincinnati
The tragedy has cast a deep gloom over
the garrison at Fort Adams.

a long standing grudge, met in a crowded
horse car and began shooting. When the
fusilade was ended the car was empty
save those two, and Smith was lying on
the floor with two wounds in one of his
arms, aud one in his side. Broder was
carrying a bullet in one of his arms.
Broder was arrested, and Smith was taken
home and cared for. He will die.
