ON THE VERGE OF STARVATION.
Remnants of ModOc Indians in q Pitt
BILE Condition.

REDD1NG, April 6.-Word comes
from Modoc County that the remnant
of Captain Jacks tribe of Modoc In
dams, now living in that county in the
neighborl.ood Of the scenes of Captain
Jacks treachery and General Canbys
death in 1872, are now in a pitiable
condition, verging on actual starvation.
In all there are about 100 of the fam
Gus tribe left. The winter has been
severe ore, the snow deep, and the In
dams have been unable to obtain the
necessaries of life. A party of two
bucks and ten squaws struggled into
Alturas, the county seat, from the lava
beds to get food, but the whites were
not charitably disposed to the Modocs
So hungry were the Indians that they
stripped the carcass of a dead COW to
the bone, ravenously ate of the putrid
flesh, and carried away what was left
1t is reported that their number has
been reduced one-half this winter by
death due to starvation and exposure
There is no reservation, and no appeal
to the United States Government.

San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 6.-Attorney
TREY L. Ford submitted an opinion to
the Board of Harbor Commissioners to-
day declaring that the San Joaquin VAL
ley Railroad had by it's action relin-
pushed it's lease of the China Basin
A few months ago the railroad COM
pany gave trust deed to the Mercantile
Trust Company Of all its property to Sc
cure the payment of certain bonds. The
railroads attorneys held that the trust
deed was the same as a mortgage, but
Attorney Ford holds that should said
trust deed or mortgage be foreclosed the
lease of the China Basin would pass
into other hands in violation of the Act
that authorized the Board of Harbor
Commissioners to give such a lease.
AT the present time the Board of Har-
Dor Commissioners are powerless to take
any action in the matter. 1t lays en-
tirely with the State Legislature. 1t
was by their act that the lease was
given, and in future, should the State
desire to revoke the lease it will have
to be done through the governing bodies.
