STEAMER PELICAN.
Little Doubt the Vessel Sunk, and
ALI Were Lost.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 30 The
Merchants Exchange has received
from Captain Thunnell of the Amerl-
can schooner Hermann a clew to the
missing steamer Pelican, which left
Puget Sound for China in the early
part of last year.
In a letter dated Kodiak, May 18th,
Captain Thunnell says that he picked
up a bottle on the shore of Portage
Bay containing a slip of paper on which
is written Latitude 80 north and 1I5
west. The ship is sinking. We are
leaving it in frail boats. M. T. Patie-
son, First Officer
The Pelican was never heard of after
her departure, and it was supposed
that she was blown out of her course
and foundered. The small boats were
doubtless swamped and the crew lost.

Good Service.

Bridgeport Chronicle Union.)
The Sacramento Record Union" one
of the best conducted and edited papers
on the Pacific Coast, did the people of
California good service by giving them
the only minute accounts of the pro-
ceedings of the Legislature during its
late session. Had the big San Fran
cisco dailies done so, instead of filling
their columns with long winded CORE
spondence from the Capital and most
of which was abusive of the members
of the Legislature, their readers would
have known more of the doingS of their
given full, or even fair record of Leg
islative doings, being content to let
their reporters give their time and at
tention to scandal paying no attention
to legislative acts that do not specially
concern San Francisco. The Record
Union" is now publishing a brief synop-
sis of the laws passed, so that its read
ers may have some knowledge of the
new laws before they are published by
the State for distribution. 1t also pub
fishes the decisions of the Supreme
Court, an important matter of news
that is totally ignored BY the big dailies
of San Francisco, even when the court
is in session in that city-unless deci-
sion is of vital interest to that city. The
managers of the San Francisco papers
should bear in mind that they have
thousands of interior readers who are
always hungry for news that is of in
terest to the people of the whole State.
