He Wa Blunt About the Value Of His

A capital story which is quite au-

reate and his wonderful poem. The
Revenge" 1t was first published in
The Nineteenth Century in 1873 or
1879. On the eve of its publication
Tennyson invited between 80 and 40
of his most intimate friends to his
house in Eaton square, in order that
he might recite this patriotic piece
to them. It is well known that
Lord Tennyson was an excellent

Paradise Lost he would have been

accept "a blessed penny less. In
fact, he was very much like a GER

When the recital of The Re

there was much ''jingo"feeling about

PORT TOWNSEND, Was. Aug. 8i.--
The City of Topeka. which arrived
xrons juneau, gives details Of fierce
battle among the Chilcat Indians, which
resulted i'm six men being murdered and
D large number wounded. The Indians
were drunk, and being armed, did great
damage to themselves. A few days
previous to the fight, two Canadian
sloops for British Columbia arrived at
Chilcat, laden with vile quantity OF
liquor. Large quantities were soon dis
pensed in exchange for furs. Then be-
gan scene Of savage orgies. The In
diafls are naturally savage and hostile,
and when affected by whisky, become
wild demons. Immense fires were
started and several hundred Indians as
semblcd to drink liquor and dance.
Towards morning dispute arose over a
trivial matter, which resulted in the
leader of one faction being stabbed to
death. The Indians then divided into
two p;Tties and
A Battle Commenced.
The two whisky smugglers, unobserved, l,
slippei away from the scene. No white
people know the incidents Of the battle.
Settlers living few miles distant heard
yelling, and surmising the origin of the
trouble, dared not venture to the neigh
borhood until later in the afternoon OF
the next day. They beheId sickening
sight. Dead and wounded Indians were
lying all around the village. Some were
frightfully mutilated. and others were
suffering agonies from their treatment.
Al sanan band of Survivors, elated with
success and thirsting for more blood,
had gone down the beach threatening
10 return and embark with crowd Of
savages and annihilate the white set
tiers in the vicinity. just before the
Topeka sailed Deputy Collector of Gus
toms Slater and q posse had arrived on
the steamer Wrestler and started for
Chilcat to arrest the smugglers, seize
the HONOR and quiet the Indians,
The Chilcat Indians are hostile tribes,
Only during recent years have they per
mitted the white traders TO enter thei1
country. Frequently they interfere with
miners crossing the Divide to the Yukon
country. On several occasions the gov.
ernor has had to send o revenue cutter
there to suppress disturbances. AL
this spring, ON different occasions, two
unknown white men coming down the
coast In open boats, were robbed and
murdered. There are now two or three
Indians in Sitka Jail, charged with
murder. The Chilcats believe in witch
craft and several women have been put
to death in recent years charged with
being witches.

A MATRIMONIAL CONSPIRACY.
Several Matchmaking Russian Mothers De-
tected In q Disgraceful Scheme.

tected In q Disgraceful Scheme.
Father John Sergief of Cronstadt is
probably the most universally popular
priest in the Russian Orthodox church.
his prayers and benedictions are be-
sought by the grievously sick and un-
fortunate in nearly every government of
European Russia, by letter and by tele-
graph, so implicit is the public conf
dence reposed in his piety and wisdom.
Father John himself is man of simple
life. making no pretensions whatever to
extraordinary sanctity, of modest habits
and lavish TO the last ruble of his con-
siderable income in relieving the neces-
sitous, making no distinction Of creed
or race.
Not little indignation has there
fore been raised by the discovery in the
government of Oref that the good fa-
ther' $ reputation has for some time past
been wickedly traded upon by number
of designing mammas who have unmar-
ried AMI dowerless daughters to dispose
Of. These solicitous matrons, sometimes
acting in concert, but in different 10.
calities, have fabricated letters of ad-
vice, purporting to be written by the
worthy priest of Cronstadt, recommend
ing particular matrimonial alliances be-
tween their daughters and certain pious
young bachelor neighbors as being di-
vinely ordained.
These spurious letters proved success
full bats in very many instances, but
eventually the maternal conspiracy was
detected, and it is now probable that
the more guilty of the intriguing
mothers and matchmaking spinsters of
Orel win have to do penance for their
indiscretions in conventual retreat be-
fore Father John absolution Is granted
and tho civil authorities are satisfied.
