CALIFORNIA; HISTORY.

Only an Accident Prevented 1t From
Becoming Territory of the Gear.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Nothing, perhaps, but the accident of the
establishment of the Hudson's Bay Com
pany and the Northwest Fur Company
saved northern California from becoming a
Russian province. Virtus Behring closed a
life of adventure by planting the Russian
flag in Alaska in 1741 Four years later
Sitka was founded. A quarter of a century
elapsed before the Spaniards undertook
their first northward advance from San
Diego and Monterey. If the English fur
hunters had not intervened between the
two, Spaniards and Russian would have
gravitated toward each other, and in that
case the chances are that the Golden Gate
and the Sacramento would have been the
dividing line between them.
Until the close of the eighteenth century
hunting and fishing on the Alaskan shores
were conducted by individual enterprise.
The fur seal and sea otter were hunted
by Siberians, who sailed the stormy seas
of the north in craft sewn together with
thongs and calked with moss. They be-
lOnged to the primitive order of savages,
among whom robbery, outrage and murder
were the ordinary events of the day, and
at whose hands the meek Aleut bent his
neck to the knife as the inoffensive Peru
Wan had crouched before the countrymen
of PiZarro century before. In the last
year of the eighteenth century order was
established in Russian America. A COM
pany. in which the members of the imperial
family and the Muscovite nobility were
shareholders, was founded on the plan of
the British East India Company and the
Hudson Bay Company. Exclusive rights
of hunting and fishing were conferred upon
it. Its jurisdiction within it's territory was
as broad as that of the car himself. The
Aleuts and their neighbors held their lives
and property at its mercy. They were not
only slaves, but no slave code threw over
them a semblance of protection. Over this
corporation was set Gen. Baranoff, whom
Astor's agent, Hunt described as hyper
borean veteran, overf1owing with hospital
ity. who. if his guests do not drink raw
rum and boiling punch as strong as sulphur,
will insult them when he gets drunk, which
will be shortly after he sits down to the
table. He served the company faithfully
for thirty years. and then was thrown over
to starve at the age of seventy-two.
