think, however, that the English lion will
sublnissively wag his tail and subside, take
q somewhat optimistic view of the case.
There is plenty OF material for a lively
row. All Sitka is rejoicing at the dexter
ity and nerve with which our side of the
affair has been handled. Whatever be the
outcome there is no doubt that in the near
future our fisheries will be safe from the
intruders who have threatened the exter-
mination of the seal. This devoutly to-
be-wished contamination will be brought
aboutwithout Commandment. When Rus
STA and England came to blows in the Cri-
mea, we escaped shot and shell by sort OF
1acit agreement between the two nations,
and the conviction is general here that,
however much buster may precede the
final settlement, it will, when it comes, be
alnicable, permanent and conclusive. Since
the Behring sea disputes began to worry
foreign secretaries on both sides of the
Atlantic, hundreds of other international
problems have had their birth and burial.

energy, activity and achievement. The
stimulus of the transfer was felt immedi-

ately. Increased values were perceptlble
everywhere. | need say nothing about the
rank Alaska has since taken as CONNER
cial factor
Now that the eyes of the people of the
United States are turned in northerly
direction with the idea Of discovering what
SORT of place may possibly embroil them
with the Britishers, it is safe to say they
will know good about Alaska before the
diplomatic atmosphere is eventually cleared
up. They will lind much to interest them
besides the material resources of Secretary
Stewards purchase. The races which are
indigenous to Ule soil are by no means pre-
possessing. They share most of the true
Indian characteristics Cleanliness is an
obsolete word with them, if it ever had any
existence in their yernacular, and a blanket
sufices for their summer wardrobe. They
blacken their faces, with the beautiful con-
ception that it enhances their personal at
fractions, and then, lest this cheerful tout
ensemble should not be considered complete,
they daub themselves with red and blue
stripes and patches. An Alaska Indian on
full dress parade is, therefore, an edifying
spectacle. He is, in his judgment, most
artistic when he has succeeded in making
himself most grotesque and ferocious in
appearance, the mair point evidently beng
TO entirely obscure what little physical
dow him with. Perhaps IN higher degree
than any other noble red man, he possesses
the universal prejudice against anything
like industry. His soul, in other words, is
above work
This is, perhaps, due to the fact that when
he was lord of all he surveyed he earned a
living quite easily. OF deer and bear meat
he could secure any quantity, and the fact
that fishing was good was proved by salmon
exports, which the Russian American COM
panY soon ran up to colossal figures, not less
than 150, 600 salmon being sent to the Sand
witch islands annually. They were in ad-
vance OF the American day and generation
to the extent that they cremated their dead,
| their tnmbs containing only the ashes of
their dear departed. The tomb was box

| faces We're daubed with the idea, it would
seem, of perpetuating the ugliness of the
deceased. If the gentleman who had been
unfortunately, or otherwise transferred tC
the happy hunting grounds, happened to be
warrior of achievement, then the faces
of his victims were portrayed on the box,
which was also adorned with long tresses
of the human hair which he had tenderly
torn from the scalps of his conquered foes

Tails with peculiar charm upon Sitkan
ears. 1t comes just at the right time to al
lay little special Inflammation. Long ago
Alaskans learned to look upon the foreign
ofiice correspondence as a mere polite inter
change of diplomatic civilities. That the
transmission of an official letter from one
capital tS the other really meant any thing
no one here believed. For a score of years
1t has been laken for granted in Alaska
that while marauders might violate every
. fishery law upon the United States statute
book, no state department officer would
dream of insisting upon any thing, Or of
saying word calculated to offend refined
English ears. As always happens in such
cases, our fishermen have had TO defend
their own rights 1t must be confessed
thai Blaine's sturdy utterances have taken
US agreeably by surprise. We had long
since ceased to expect anything but the
most harmless and courteous official com
monplaces. These utJerances happen to be
most opportune Alaska fishermen are in
an especially ugly frame of mind just now,
not because they find their field invaded,
for they are accustomed to that, but be-
cause of a passage at arms which caused
much Indignation here, and a few meagre
details of which have just leaked out. The
story had. perhaps, better be told in the
langu age of the man to whom L am indebted
for my information.

they had three more men than we had, and
we naturally got the worst of it. When

Kanuck skipper had lots of heart, l must

challenged our captain to fair stand up
fight, and they went at it. You see, our
captain amt no SLOUGH with his fists, and il
was as pretty a set-to as you ever saw.

they went at US. 1t didn't last very long,
They was to strong for us, and they drove
US off, but it lasted long enough for two of
our hands and for a couple of theirs, | can
tell you.''
This rather simple statement of whathsp-
pened does not apparently describe an affair
sufficiently serious to Justify any great
amount of Sitkan Inflammation. but as
matter of fact, it was an encounter worthy
of portrayal in strong colorS. Two of the
Alaskans looked as ii butcher had been
operating upon them. They survive only
because they chung to life with extraordin-
airy tenacity. The chances are that the
Canadian has one or two empty berths at
his disposal. This is only one variety of
what is continually happening. Nothing
but really threatening friction between the
two governments directly concerned in the
controversy will ring down the curtain on
the everlasting wrangle.g

understood it to be matter over which the
British lion roared occasionally, while the
Russian bear growled sulkily and the
American eagle screamed with its custom
airy barshness. With the details involved
they have a superficial acquaintance. The
popular conclusion was that the whole af-
fair would ultimately drop into an AMIGA

1t was scarcely worthy of close scrutiny
by any one not connected with the state de

the English premier's shadowy claims have
changed all this. Now that faint posi-

long enough to be taken ashore in a hand

demise:
'.He may have been said to have been
half buried alive, for the sand rolling con-
tinually down from the side of the ditch
where he lay he at last would not suffer it
to be removed, so that after his decease they
were obliged to scrape him out of the
