PITCAIRNS ISLAND.

The British bark Earl of Dun
raven on the passage home from
Portland to the United Kingdom
last year made call at Pitcairn's
Island. The following extract from
a letter, written by Captain Fore
man of the bark to a friend out in
San Francisco, gives an interesting
account of his visit and his recep-
ton by the defendants Of the mu-
tineers of the Bounty:
81 called at Pitcairn, as intended,
and landed my mails and cargo. 1t
was nasty day, blowing strong
from the northwest, and squally,
with a big lump of a sea on. We
got off the island at 10 Am. l was
afraid the sea was too heavy for the
boats to come off, but 1 was wrong
for they did come. They were
jumping half out of the water, and
when they came alongside they
were half full of water, and every
body on board was soaked to the
skin | scarcely thought the ladies
would come off, but again I was
mistaken, as the governors eldest
daughter and two Miss Youngs
came off. They were seasick most
of the time, and would have been
much more comfortable on shore.
/ could not pay them the same at
tention l would have liked, as [
had to look after the ship and try
and keep as near the island as [
could. They stayed on board
about six hours.
eve got everything landed nice
ly and the poor people were just
delighted. They never had so
much and SO many necessary
things at one time, and were ex-
tremely thankful to all who had SO
kindly sent things. When we left
they fairly loaded US with curios,
fruits, fowls, ETC., till 1 was almost
ashamed to take them. 1 took
some oranges to England with me,
and distributed them among
friends, who said they were the
finest they had ever tasted, even
after being 100 days on board ship. |
The captain of a British man-of-
war had read the accounts of my |
visit while he was at Honolulu, |
and, being bound to Valparaiso,
called at Pitcairn, on his way, to
verify my statements, which, l am
pleased to say, he found correct.
We took the measurement of their
boats, ETC., and reported it to our
government, SO they may in time

in a great hurry get new ones.
"After leaving Pitcairn we got
along all right till we got to Cape
Horn. There we had little dirty
weather for a few days. In one
gale we lay for about four hours
with the combings of the main
hatch in the water. She could not
lift herself on account of the weight
of water on the lee side. l was
afraid she would start the lee bull
warks, but she came out of it all
right. We had only lower main
top sail set at the time. We had
bitterly cold weather off the Horn
for over a week, with several heavy
snowstorms, but saw no ice, though
several of the ships did. After
getting around the corner we went
along all right and had a fair run
home. Am. Elk.

AMERICAN POLITICS.

lulu, Stephen NJ. White of Los An.
geles will have been elected United
States Senator from California
One ballot has been taken and
White needs only one more vote to
secure the prize. He is the young
est senator ever sent from this
state and is a Native Son.
In New York the Tammany
crowd has defed Cleveland and in
caucus nominated T. J. Murphy Jr.
for United States Senator. Whe-
ther they will elect him or not re-
mains to be seen. Murphy's
friends declare that they are not in
an alliance with Hill, and that
Murphy in Congress would not lie
awake nights to dig up trouble for
the President.
In Minnesota there is great
probability that Senator Davis will
be defeated for reelection. 1t is
declared by his friends that his
defeat will be due to the use of
money.
Kansas has had a hot time try
ing to organize a Legislatu re, both
parties running sideshoWs owing
to the influence of the Populists.
The Republicans and Democrats
are said to have combined against
the enemy and it is probable that
Kansas will elect a Democrat C
Senator.
A Washington dispatch says that
Cleveland is very anxious about
the silver situation. He is
reported to have said to friend
that another year of the Sherman
law would drive the country into
the boarding of gold and a finan-
cial panic. He spoke of the recent
large shipments of gold to Europe,
of the eagerness of European Gov
ernments to buy all the gold they
could get their hands on, and the
sale of American securities in Eng
land for the purchase of gold.
Let big failures, he said, start a
wave of timidity and you will see
prudent people everywhere hoard
ing gold and unloading silver. The
longer the Sherman law continues
in force the greater the danger.
Mr.. Cleveland was asked how far
he would be willing to go in the
direction of compromise, and
specific inquiry was made if he
would be content with the old
Bland law of1S7S. His reply was
"Only in case of necessity. Be-
tween the Bland law and the Sher-
man law 1 prefer the former but
we ought not to be forced to such
an alternative" 1t is known here
that Mr.. Cleveland's anxiety over
the currency situation has, for the
time being at least. overshadowed
everything else in his mind. He
is satisfied nothing can be accom-
plished in this Congress, and that
delay is dangerous. Therefore he
has again taken into consideration
a suggestion that special session
Of the new Congress be called in
April or May.
Governor Markham, of this State,
has got himself disliked by Repub-
leans by proposing to appoint
Paris Kilburn, of Monterey. and
Dan Cole, Of Sierra, as Harbor
Commissioners. The former now
has a Government office, and is a
chronic place-hunter. The mer-
chants of San Francisco are hostile
,ver the matter, and demand that
he appointees be citizens of this
.ity who understand the needs of
commerce.

The formation of the regular
army is going along nicely. Col.
Soper has not decided about the
uniform for the officers and men
as yet, and for the present fatigue
dress will be worn. The Interior
Office has been assigned as its mill

LONDON, Nov. 3.--The fact has just been
brought to light that on "Wednesday two
waternen discovered q conical iron bomb
we Ching 10 pounds, with fuse screwed
into the little end, and a number of large
cartridges loaded with bullets, on one OF
the abutments OF Westminster bridge on

mors OF the find got out the police ut first
made light of IL when mentioned, but now
admit that these implements of death and
destruction were connected with dyna-
mite plot, though they insist it 10 one OF
small Importance. IL is the general be-
lief, however, that II is . very grave mat
ter and that il was the intention to dam
age the bridge, If not to blow up the house
OF commons.
LONDON, Nov. 3.--The Graphic prints
tho following, which 1, received from q
news agency: The Scotland Yard detect-
ives have traced the shell found on the
buttress Of Westminster bridge to its late
owner. who explains its presence in the
place where IL was found. The man says
ho picked it up on battlefield after the
Franco Prussian war and il has been in
his possession up TO day or two ago. He
at last came to the conclusion that Il
might be dangerous and he concluded to
get rid of II. He dropped it from the
