Captain Hea'y Describes ths Cruise OF tn
Revenue Cutter Bear

Captain Hea'y Describes ths Cruise Of the
Revenue Cutter Bear.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The report OF
Captain Healy of the Bear, dated Port
Clarence, Alaska, July Sd, was received at
the Treasury Department to-day, in which
he describes his trip up 10 that time. He
left Oonalaska on June 18th, and arrived at
the Island of st. Paul ON the Goth, where he
was advised that a schooner, supposed to
be sealer, had been seen on the 10Th, but
had not since reappeared at st. Paul. The
scarcity of seals in appearing at the usual
places was noticeable, aud especially at
their not being present in the usual num-
bers. The breeding rookerieS were almost
uninhabited by them, and 1t was feared
that the company would not be able to
secure their quota of 10000 during the year.
At Cape Navaim, which he reached on
the Esd, he gathered together over fifty ma
tiyes who were instrumental in the succor
of the Napoleon's men, who were lost in
1885. and the preservation of VINCENT, the
sole survivor, and he distributed to them
presents sent by the Government in recog
milton of their acts. He believes this act of
the Government will spread among the ma
tives along the coast and have good effect
when other vessels are wrecked. The GEN.
sus of ST. Lawrence Island was taken on
June 30th. Arrived at Kings Island on the
I'd, and boarded twenty-five whaling YES
sells found there. Afterward Census Agent
Kelley took the census of the natives on
the island.
Captain Healy was informed by Captain
Smith Of the whaling schooner Mary III.
Thomas, from San Francisco, that on June
10th his colored steward, Richard Price, had
stabbed William Noonan, seaman, and
threatened the life of the first mate. Price
was arrested and confined in irons in
wretched dungeon. but on request of Cap
tain Smith and of Price himself, Captain
Healy consented to receive him on board
the Bear, and at once put him to work.
Noonan is rapidly recovering.
On July 81 the schooner Oscar and Hattie
Of San Francisco left that port for Cape
Prince of Wales and Point Hope, with
houses for the establishment Of schools at
those places.
At the request of Commissioner Sheldon
jackson, Captain Healy took on hoard four
carpenters, who were transported to the
same place. In conclusion, Captain Healy
reports all well on board the Bear.

THE CENSUS.
A Report to Be Made to Congress by the LIST
OF September.

A Report to Be Made to Congress by the LIST
OF September.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-THE population
of Kansas City, Kans., as announced by the
Census Bureau to-day is 3S,170. The same
place in 1880 contained 934S, an increase in
ten years of 2S.S22 or sos. 81 per cent.
Superintendent Porter expects the work
of counting the population Of the country
to be completed before the end of the pres
ent month, and Congress, if it so desires.
can proceed to pass an appOrtiOnment bill.
and so determine how many members shall
constitute the next House. The population
of the country ia estimated at "a, 100000.
1t is believed that the bill providing for the
reapportionment of Congressional Repre-
sentatives can be introduced from the COM
mittee by the second week in September.
The House will then have little work to do
and can debate and pass the measure within
a few days. The bill will be prepared after
a consultation with the leading Republican
Senators, so that the measure adopted by
the House will not be amended by the Sem
ate. The leaders in the House express the
belief that the basis of apportionment for
the representation of membership of the
House will be fixed at 1S0000 persons, the
present basis being one member for every
$4,000 or fraction thereof. The design is
not to increase the membership of the
House over twenty-five, and it is estimated
that on a basis of 10000 the membership
of the House will be about $50.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Last Friday the
State Department received from Minister
Miner a telegram saying that during the
battle in the city of San Salvador, the forces
of the Provisional Government seized the
American Consulate of that city, hauled

Government of San Salvador had hosted
our flag over the United States Consulate
the day before, at the same time saluting
with twenty-one guns, and that the Consul
had been reinstated and the rights of the
United States and its citizens guaranteed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE Treasury
Department has practically completed ar
