K. Yoor hees' story of tb abuses praattoed there, as published- in the World, has had the effect of fusing the author ities at Washington . to order an in vestigation. Thf story, and if true, ail christian penrae can, with reason, draw their attention from the wilds of Africa, and instead of sending missionaries to the jangles of Congo and with profit! and .greater consis tency Bend them among our people in the United Stat . territory of Alaska. Frc-pv JheTTork World, we learn that a copy of 'the Alaska leaf let entitled "Sister to Sisters," which has been stricken from the list of publications issued by the Presby terian Missionary Society oecanse the storv it contains of the abuses and cruelties prj.ctied upon the native women and girls of the far ofi' land is too dreadful for perusal. The briet story is composed of ex tracts fiom the private letters of Mrs. Eugene i$. Willard, who is a mis sionary at the town ot Juuea. An extract from the tirst letter gives a striking picture of the contaminations and pollution of the lower coast tribes the Litkines and the Sitka Indians, "Where a girl caa be bought lor a bright ribbon, a bit ot cauco or a little candy; where people are dis eased aud deformed to such an ex tent that a bright, healthy child is an erception; where mothers parade the streets and infest the wharve3, exhibiting their daughters' charms and ottering their small children of ten years even to these drunken rot ton sailors and miners who, nt course select the healthiest and prettiest for tb.-ir base Use." Manv of the details of cruelty and suffering in Mrs. Willard'a letters are certainly unfit for general reading and the 'act that such things exist in our land is a national scandal and re proach. How far "marriage is a failure" auvjinf these Indians may be gathered from this account of their matrimonial customs. 1he;r marriage laws seem to be these: A man may have more than one wife and a woman more than one husbaini( though usually they have but one at a time); they may have a succession of partners, but while acknowledged relations exist they must b faithful to each other. They have a custom, ami is ijuile prevalent, whicb is a stracge otfset to that of becluding thir girls. It is the giving of thfair chili hen of the teuderest ae to be raised for the purpose of. VV.i"?,. the place cf their guardians. ' ih.iu" is, man aod hie wife will take a little boy and girl to raise as their successors. It the man dies first, the boy becomes husband to the woman. Il the woman is first to die. her husband takes the little Ijirl. In this way, one oft.-n fc.es a decrepit old woman with a mere 1. y, aud a little child bound to a grizzled old man, and they do not always wait for death to undo the tirst bond. This is tiuly a horrible recital, and the government is largely re sponsible for such a condition of atlairs. The country is governed oy the Alaska Commercial Company, as heartless a monopoly as ever enf r ced blood money from an ignorant and helpless people. Enforce the law, or repeal it, is about the opinion ol every person acquainted with tDe working of the Chinese Pheasent law. lt puts our general law into utter con tempt, to have an act, that is as fully ignored as is the Chinese Pheasant act at the present time upon the statute books.

CLEIELAIB LETTER OF KC.KKT Bow the Expenses of tie Iaang oration Will Paid Notes and Comments from toe National Capital. Special Correspondence. Washington, ' Jan 1. Senator Allison went over to New York one evening last week and returned the same day, but short his visit was it was long enough to be made the basis for any number of cabinet stories, all more or less affecting Messrs Miller and Piatt. When these scoiies were repeated to Mr. Allison he smiled in an amused way, bnt said nothing. One thing may be set down as certain, all the rumors of Senator Allison entering any com bination antagonistic to Mr. Blaine are the merest nonsense. Mr. Blaine has no better friend in this conutry than Senator Allison, and no cabinet complications that can possibly hap pen arc likely to estrange these two men. Cleveland in a letter of regret sent to the Taritf Reform League of Bos tor, gets after the laint hearted f-ee-traders of his party in Congress with a sharp stick. The effect of this let ter is already observable among the democratic members of the House now in this city. Jus' betore recess, many ot them were talking seriously ot passing a bill repealing the tobacco tax and the United States license for retail liquor dealers.' Now these men are taymg tl a; any rtduoti juma.de in the revenue ot the government must come from import duties, aud that under no circumstances will they vote lor any measure reducing the internal revenue taxes. They also say that a determined tight is to be made on the republican taritf bill when it reaches the House. Senator Stanford's fancy stock raising is not altogether fofamuse meiit.. as he has sold a weanling colt i bj E ectioneer irom the famous mate lieutiiul Belle lor $12,500. Four ol this mare s colts have sold for 'J2, too Apropos of the' criticism heard in some quarters about the enormous expense of the Inauguration aud it attendant ceremonies, including the ball, it seems proper to say that not a cent oi this money is paid by the government. Il is paid by the people that attend the bait, tickets to which cost $o each. In order to facilitate matters in making arrangements it nas aiways been customary to ask lor private contributions to what i& known as the guarantee tnnd. This tune tne contributions already made tint fund amount to be 50,000. These ci.iii.ri'oi.uoua weiv ai the last iu;iugurulKn ail returned to the lienors and the committee still had on hand a smpius which was donated to charity.

Senator Cullotn says it is probable that some important amendment will be offered to the Inter -State Com merce law shortly. Mr. Cullom does i ot agree with those who think the law a failure, but he admits that some - important changes are neces sary before the law can fully accom plish the purposes for which it was framed. The Speakership canvass, has bf en actively going on during the holiday recess, and three new candidates Messrs. Lodge, Bayne and Farquhar have been entered by their friends for the race. None of the candidates are seemingly making much headway the members don't like to commit themselves quite so early in the game as it would effectually shut them out of some advantages which may be gained by making combinations later, and of course every member wants to gain something either in the way of patronage or a coveted place on a good committee, hence they are very wary. Mr. Blaine and his family are ex pected in Washington next. month. They will remain for the season. :'. fYIBCO NEWS. Desperate Fight Brtweea OUrer and Highbinder. San Francisco, Jan. 6. Early thiB morning there was a resumption of hostilities lietweou the deputy sheriffs who have been officially placed in charge of the Chinese store SOU Dupont street, aud the highbin ders said to be iu the employ of Lee Wing, fnd who wanted to secure possession of the store. Just as one of the deputy sheriffs was relieving another the discovery was made that some one was trying to pry open the door. One of the deputies shouted to the invaders, who were now chopping at the door, to desist or he would shoot. A fnsitade of bullets from the outside was the response. The officers dodged behind a parti tion and then 'peneJ lire, the high bnule. a returning it with a succession of volleys. One depvty finally crawled along the floor aud began tiring at short range.

The down stage from Men docino City was stopped near Philo about 11 o'clock by a masked man who demanded the treasure box, and holding a revolver in hi right hand he took it from the driver with the left. He thanked the driver and or dered him on. He then remarked "Good night, gentlemen." The stage had only gone a few hundred yards when it met the up stage from Cloverdale and the driver remarked that he had also been robbed, but he did not st p long enough to give the details. The express box was all that was molested. ae r Florida's Tarnished Cities. Somewhere in the thirties St. Joseph was a thriving city of sev eral thousand people.
