CHINESE SLAVERY IN ALASKA.
Arrival OF Another cargo Of Cannery
Employea at San franciaco.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 4-More Chinese.
more misery and more canned salmon ar
rived yesterday from Karluk. Alaska, on
the bark Nicholas Thayer. Two of the
Chinese packers died en- route. There
were $50 Celestials on board and lbs white
fishermen. Among the Chinese it was
the same old story of hard work and dis
ease, the Thayer's heather passengers be-
ing. If anything. dirtier looking lot than
those of the barks Elsinor. Fresno and
Electra, which arrived q few days ago.
When boatmen went alongside of the
! Thayer they found . number of sick China
men lying about the decks and laid out in
hunks below. One poor fellow had been
stretched out on the main hatch since last
evening. so some of the white fishermen
said.
A horrible stencil arose from the quar-
ters of the Chinese Above and between
decks filth and corruption was at every
hand. To make matters worse for the 800
souls on board of the Thayer, heavy
weather was experienced nearly all the
way down the coast. While in latitude SO
degrees 81 minutes south, longitude 40
degrees 40 minutes west. the bark ran into
a regular hurricane. For three hours the
Thayer was under bare poles. Seas broke
over the vessel and flooded her decks. The
Chinese thought the end had come, and
mournful human cries were mingled with
the voices of the storm.
Dick Hesth's Accomplice Discharged.
FRESNO. Oct. n-This morning. before
Judge Webb. motion for continuance in
the case of Frederick w. Policy, charged
with being an accomplice with Richard
s. Heath in the murder of Louis
McWhirter. was made by the dis
trict attorney on the ground
tha, the principal witness for the prosecu.
ton could not be found. After the motion
had been argued the court decided that
while he would like to grant eontinu-
ance If the prosecution could give assur-
ance that IL could find the necessary wit
ness, yet according to the facts before the
court, and the Law in the case, he would
have to deny the motion. The district
attorney stated that Ii would be useless to
20 into trial without this witness, as his
evidence was necessary to connect the de-
fendant with the crime, and 10 would put
the county 10 large expense with little
chance for conviction. therefore he
asked that the case be dismissed.

Given, a colored man who said he
pulled Policy In through window OF
house in Chinatown soon after the shoot
ing of McWhirter. Policy had testified
thar he had slept that night in the shed OF

considered very important. Policy has

leaning DICK Ill Ills chair, he Salu WITH
an air of infinite contempt:
Look, gentlemen, the pigeon is chang
ing to the turkeycock. For myself l do
not care to see the sparrow in rage, al
though the spectacle is not without it's
comic side"
Pierre could hardly speak with rage
He felt the veins Of his forehead swell
ing and the laughter of his companions
rang in his ears with confused noise
With a great effort he controlled HIM
self. He stood quite still, and his face
grew white as marble. In low voice
he said slowly:
Il have borne all your Sights and in
suits without a word, on your wife's &C
count. but you had better beware or you
may get your deserts"
From you?" asked Macaire sneer-
ingly.
From me, if necessary" answered
the young man. But up to a certain
point you may escape on your wife's &C
count"
What the devil has my wife to do
with you? She didn't seem to care very
much about your feelings, although you
were rather spoony on her before she be-
came my property
This he said with an air Of insolent
triumph which would have reused any
man. Still Pierre kept silent, and the
rest were silent also, for they recognized
that his blood was up and that his
wrath might possibly fall on some of
them. Robert did not enjoy tie silence.
There was little fun in lis torturing I'M
less there were others to enjoy it. so he
tried another tack.
Dear me, how hot Of blood we are!
With such superabundance of pug
nacity wonder that you do not seek a
place in the army. There is plenty of
work to be done-by men who are not
afraid to do it. Why do you not join
the army Of England? There is need of
young men there"
Pierre answered slowly:
Il suppose you were Oh yonr way
there when you found your way here.
And yet it is strange that you came from
the north. / suppose that you had to
rest yourself and recover from that
wound i'll your leg where you carried the
shot. AS can claim no such distinction
and have no such honorable wound to
show, think shall leave such excellent
company. For you I should advise you
to go home to your wife and for the flu
ture keep either your mouth shut or your
leg covered. You can perhaps afford
one luxury, but you cannot afford the
two"
With this he turned on his heel and
left the room.
The rustics were now i'll Il greater
quandary than ever as to what they
should do, for, to their great surprise,
their bully when confronted lad not ven
tured a word in answer, but had sat
quite still gnawing his lip. They, how
ever, had not confronted him, and they
feared he would have his revenge out of
them, SO they all sat still until Robert
Macaire started to his feet and said:
Heres to the health Of Pierre Lamar.
He is a fine young fellow and will be off
to the army before long, you will find.
Perhaps he will be gone before the week
is Over-perhaps even earlier still"
He can't go tomorrow anyhow" said
Gustave, one Of the usual butts, "be-
cause tomorrow he has to bring cask OF
wine to the frontier and will not be back
for three days at the earliest"
All, gentlemen, it will be as | say
You will find that the young man will
volunteer; he is keen for fighting. You

In Pursuit of the Slayer of the Little
 Italian Girl.
 A dispatch from Lyme says: Niccola Sella. an Italian who is wanted at Water bury for murder, was traced to Lyme yes terdny
 George Marell a fellow countrymun visited Lyme bearing letter from Chief of Police Egan of Waterbury. in which the local officers were asked to arrest the murderer upon Marells identification.
 Sella shot little girl in Waterbury late Thursday and fled. Marell was placed on his trail by Chief Egan and has been fol- lowing it ever since. Saturday morning he nearly captured the man at Leete's Island quarries, where Sella had secured work. Before Marcn had been in the town half an hour Sella learned of his presence and drawing the pay due him took up his flight again.
 Monday his pursuer heard that Sella had been seen in South Lyme. and he spent yesterday in that vicinity searching for him among the various gangs of Italians at work on the Shore Line railroad. He failed to find his man, but secured infor- nation that made him feel confident that he would find Sella near Old Saybrook where he is believed to be in hiding

rlod. The man was Samuel F. Covingtcn and the period was 1S46, when he was postmaster at Rising Sun, Ind.
 Mir. Covington was editor, justice of the peace and member of the legislature and was in a position to know that the people of Rising Sun did not like their postal service. The mails came up tho Ohio river by the steamboats plying be- tween Cincinnati aud Louisville. which did not stop at Rising Sun, and the mails for that place were carried past to Madison, whence they were sent back the following day. MT. Covington thought that if the letters could be sorted on the boat it would not take long to drop the bag for Rising Sun ashore, and much vexatious delay might be saved. He wrote to President Folks postmaster general suggesting the idea. Postmaster General Johnson adopted the suggestion placing what was then called ''traveling postmaster" on the boats to do just such work as is now done by the railway postal clerks.
 The postmaster general also appointed Mir. Covington to the postnastership of Rising Sun, a position in which he dis played energy and acumen of an uncom- mon order, to the great edification of the citizens of Rising SuR. Mir. Covington afterward made for himself an enviable reputation among the business men of Cincinnati, and though his scheme for the sorting of mail matter in transit was abandoned after awhile its resuscitation and adoption on so huge a scale as that now in use proves how far ahead of his times he was.

MAY NOT ENFORCE THE TAX.
Comptroller EckeIs Sanctioned the Pay
 Roll Checks.

Collector of Internal Revenue John l. Hutchinson will have until December l to make returns to the treasury department en the number of pay roll cheeks issued by the different manufacturing firms in Cou- necticut during the financial stringency The collector has no choice but to make the returns, for he has orders from the de partment, but it is possible that the pay ment of the tax may not be enforced The tax will come due on January 1. and then the manufacturers may putin a plca of abatement.
 When the question of issuing these checks wus first raised d New Nerk manu- tacturcr wrote to Comptroller Eckels for an opinion about them. The comp trOller wrote that he thought 1t would be all right to issue them and they would not be taxable Resting on this opinion the New York manufacturer went ahead. and his example Was followed by many other employers in that and other states. While Comptroller Eckels k not the legal author ity for the treasury department and his opinion is hot binding in such matters, it Is believed at the collectors office that his expressed opinion will be accepted by the department as d sufficient excuse for the action of the employers who issued these checks and that on that account the payment of the tax will not be insisted upon.

 John Landati, known as Big Joe" went on a wild Indian chase last night. He had on q fighting jag and chased his sister around Wards flats with knife. He only succeeded in cutting himself. When Off cer Mccarthy attempted to arrest him he resisted but the officer was plucky and stuck to him. A citizen helped him as far as the railroad crossing when Officer Reid came to his assistance. Judge Root is not disposed to be lenient with these fellows who carry weapons and gave Landau thirty days for drunkenness, six months for breach of the peace and $50 and costs for resistance. Big Joe" Is the man who assaulted Patrick Sutton at the Branch" il short time ago.
 Sheriff Tomlinson came to the city this morning bringing with him Patrick Shana- han who was sentenced about a month ago on three counts to New Haven jail. At the time of his conviction no regular police court judge was present and Justice R. A. Lowe inflicted penalty of S1O and costs, S25 and costs and three months in jail. It was claimed that Justice Lowe had no jur- isdiction and Judge Bradstreot issued a writ of habeas corpus and on this writ Shanahan was this morning released.
 William Davis. Fred Johnson and Lewis Blake, who were arrested yesterday by Constable Rigney for the theft of fruit from the farm of William Tyler settled for S10 each.
 Lorenzo Uffico, Was charged with assault and breach of the peace. The evidence was so conflicting that Judge Root suspended judgment.

CHARLES H. J. TAYLOR. colored men ever admitted to practice before the United States supreme court. He is also editor of The American Citizen of Kansas City, and one of the leaders of the National Democratic league, which has its head quarters at Washington.
 He has considerable reputation as a Democratic orator. He stumped South Carolina for Wade Hampton in 1s7e and matriculated at Oberlin college. of which he is a graduate. in the fall of the same year. He studied law at the Uni versity of Michigan.
 In 1885, after his removal to Kansas he was candidate for district judge, but failed of election, though he was subse- quently elected city attorney of Kansas City, Kan. He was delegate to the Dem ocratic national convention at St. Louis in 1888 and is proud of the fact that he was the first colored man so honored. Speaking of his appointment, Mir. Tay- Ter said recently. The worst they have said of me is that l am very black and have made lot of Democratic speech es." He is reputed to be worth $50 O00 The salary of the minister to Bolivia Is 5000 a year.
 Some doubt has been expressed us to whether MT. Taylor's appointment will be acceptable to Bolivians The post has always been filled by white man, and the white people of the country pride themselves on their pure Castilian blood, though men of mixed Indian de- scent now have considerable influence in the affairs of the nation and occupy many important government positions.

<. r. COyingtOn Originated the Idea of
 Sorting Mail Matter In Transit.
 Nearly everybody realizes that the importance of the railway mail service has increased wonderfully of late years, though comparatively few know that the larger part of the work of sorting mail matter is now done on the great postal trains while travelling at light ming speed. Postmasters and postoffiCes outside of the large cities are but incl dental features of the modern system of mail delivery, of which the trunk line mail trains are by far the most impor tant arteries.
 The regular railway mail service was instituted ill 1864, and credit for much of the immense improvement that mas been made since then must be given to Colonel George B. Armstrong, who was placed at the head of the service in 1869 But the honor of originating the idea of sorting letters cn route between cities belongs to another man and another pc
