Alleged outrages in Alaska.

WASHINGTON, Dec. I9.-The house
committees on fisheries to-day began
the investigation regarding the alleged
outrages in Alaska. VIM. Gavitt, spec
ial treasury agent to the Seal islands. tes-
tilted that the Alaska ~company's agents at
st. Georges island respect neither the
laws of God nor man. Among other
things he said they furnish liquor to pros
titutes in an underhand manner. Witness
said the whole island was a place of pros.
titution from one end to another. An
agent of tie company had declared that
he would break a mans head if he re
fused to bring his 1.-THE man's) wife to him.
Witness said further that he would rather
serve a term in the penitentiary than
go through the agony that he and his
wife had experienced on the island. In
conclusion he admitted that he did not
know of any case of criminal assault on a
native woman by the agents OF the
Alaska company.
Gus Wardman, special agent of the
island of st. George from 1881 to 1884,
said he never knew a woman or girl upon
the island to be outraged or a man or boy
to be abused by any of the company's
agents, mol did he ever know of a native
woman living in the company's Eouse
with one of the employees. He never
saw anything that would lead him to be-
lieve the company's house was converted
into a house Of Ill fame.
T. j. Ryan, another special agent of
the government island of st. George from
1855 to 1887, attributed the lack Of disci-
pline and loose morals on the island of St.
George, partly to the improper conduct
and neglect of some of the government
agents, which was in turn initiated by the
agents OF tie company. Witness formu
lated rules forbidding the females on the
island from visiting the company's and
governments houses, but Tingle, his
superior officer, had declared such rule
null. 1t was impossible to imagine what
influenced him to do this, as the order
was issued in the interests of law and de-
eency.

Horrible g..

LONDON, Dec. ia dispatch from
Zanzibar says: In Pursuance of the sui
tan's orders four natives awaiting trial
for murder were horribly executed in the
streets of the town. Their heads were
cut off and their bodies left where they
had fallen, exposed and unguarded until
the evening OF the day of execution. The
sultan also ordered twenty-four prisoners,
including one woman who had been sem
fenced for life, to be put to death in a
similar manner during the next week. a
few to be executed each day. The British
consul vainly protested against the afro.
cities. The sultan proclaimed that in
future he will be guided by the Mahom-
medan law only. He has bestowed the
power of capital punishment on local
governors and ordained hat their SEN
fences are not to be subject to appeal.
News has been received of the outbreak
between the Arusba and Nasal tribes.
The former tribe enticed the Nasal war
rios into making a cow-lifting expedition
raided the settlement, massacred the old
men and women and children and seized
the younger women for concubines. They
also carried off IA, 900 head of cattle. The
Nasal warriors returning from their expe-
dition and finding their homes devastated,
lamented three days and then commenced
wa against the Arusbas which-will prob.
ably last three years and result in the de-
vastation of the country west of Kilama
Mara mountain.
