POPULATION OF ALASKA.
Decrease in the Number Of Natives

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. |. - Census
AgentPetroff has returned fromAlaska,
having completed the census of that
Territory. The following figures
closely represent the population in
1890: Aleuts. $50: Indians,
5000; EsquimauX, $4,000 Chi
nese, $4,000; whites, $500; total,
$1,000. This is decrease of 1000 in
ten years, but as during that time the
white and Chinese population has in
creased largely, this really represents
decrease of 5000 in native population.
Mr.. Petroff says the natives have
learned the use of liquor from whalers,
and it is killing them off rapidly. They
manufacture for themselves a fiery
drink called 'botches."
