CABINET GOSSIP.

Governor Rusk for Secretary of Agricul-
ture-The Slate Otherwise Unchanged.
WASHINGTON. March 2.-There was q
decided lull in cabinet speculation to-day.
The general opinion being that seven OF
the eight places to be filled had been dis
posed Of. As TO the agricultural portfolio
doubt still prevails, although the belief
of the majority of politicians is that Gov
erhor Rusk will be asked to take it. Sena-
tor Palmer is out of the race and an OHIO
man in this connection proves TO be Grand
master Brigham of the State Grange, not
Bingham. He fulfills the alleged require
ments that the secretary must be farmer.
The friends of Chairman Houston are still
eadeavorinR to prevent the appointment
of W. FL. II. Miller as attorney general,
but are not much encouraged. They have
the support of the Pacific coast people, who
believe if Miller was otherwise disposed Of
their section of country will be called on
furnish an attorney general. They have
indicated their willingness to do this, but
Miller who, of course, says nothing, is
evidently in the hands of his friends. All
indications point tonight to the settle
ment Of the cabinet question in accord
ance with the slate given last night with
the substitution of Governor Rusk for
secretary OF agriculture.

INDIAN RETKIBUTION.
A Life for = Life-Ths Double Tragedy at
the HOonah Mission.

A Life for = Lifs-Ths Double Tragedy st
the Hoonah Mission.
This week we learned the particulars of
the double murder which happened at the
Hoonah Mission last November, which are
as follows:
A quite wealthy and influential Indian
by the name OF johnson came into Hoonah
from mis- ranch at st. James bay, and pro-
curing some hoochinoo liz dian whisky,
son, even when sober, was greatly feared
and disliked by the Indians throughout
the country. He was man possessed of
great physical strength, and was most
overbearing in his disposition toward men
and british toward women. Any woman
that struck his fancy. whether mar
ried or single, he would use force and
brute strength TO accomplish her ruin.
As this brute in human form was stagger-
a young married Indian girl coming to-
ward him that he had previouly been
smitten with. As soon as the girl per-
ceived him coming toward her. she turned
and fed. Johnson Immediately gave pur-
suit, but fear lent wings to the girls feet,
and she gained her home first at the lower
end of the village. and had just time to
shut and bar the door before her pursuer
came up. Nothing daunted, and finding

soon gained entrance to the house. In the
space of very few moments he had cleaned
It the entire household. the girl in the
meantime making her escape. Finding
the girl gone johnson started out to hunt
her up. The girls husband collecting u
few friends took refuge in the house again.
and had been there but few moments
when Johnson again came up and de-
msnded admittance. He had procured an
axe, and upon being refused began to bat
ter down the door. But the girls hus-
band was ready for him. and the minute
the would-be ravisher stepped over the
threshold, he received the contents of a
rifle full in the face, the bullet striking
him nearly between the eyes. He was
Eilled almost instantly.
The killing of johnson caused a great
commotion among his friends in the vii
lage. and although his intended crime was
deserving of a worse death, they demanded
that the tribal laws, a life for a life. be
carried out. The slayer Of johnson and
protector OF his wifes virtue, seeing that
it must be so, Immediately went out aud
gave himself up and was shot on the spot.
But the Indian Law had been avenged--it
was the life of noble protector of woman
