The public interest excited in the
Alaska question? bjj Mr. E. 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.

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.

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

50,000. These ci.iii.ri'oi.uoua weiv

A new statue has been added to

Hall at the Capitol. It is that of
Gen. Louis Cas, and ws prejented
by the state of Michigan.
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.

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. He soon heard
some one outside give a yell of pain
and then tail. All the invaders then
ran takiug the wounded or dead
with them, lor subsequent investia
