The San Francisco treasury,
which lias been closed siiuv the

On the inoniinir of the 8th. some j
'25 Italians and Portuguese fisher- j
men arrive! in Rio Vista, Cal.,
from Coliinsville and have been I
engaged nt the husmess ol making i man( imiv,l adaption of the
ji piratical rail on fishermen along, e.j.lt ,our hVStom :md will settle

Ithat salm.u should not be sold for ( ,n,wi OII f llalf. ,,; t. :,rn acceded
nciniL sai:n.u miuuiu ul e mini in
less than 40 cents a pi.uv; though j
ifisliermon in th!t vicinity are re
;eivina' but '2) cents. Thev :it-
-tacked boats near the place, throw
ing overboard some oOO salmon;
:inl contemplated :i raid on l. Cj
"Garter's salting vork; but were
deterred by :i crowd of citiz mis
who had assembled th Me by that
'time. Tlie river pirates then de
parted, going up the river and
threatening deMiMcLon to every
thing in th"ir wav. No arrests.

trip: boarding every boat and j
throwing over all the fish and :
taking up nets at CollHsvillc.
The Greek fishermen who are in
the movement for higher prices I

California Election.
0icialotunnsy-othe Tote. in
San Francisco, on the 7th, .gave a
majority against ihe new constitu
tion of 1,U15. Rettr-ns from the
interior confirm previous advices,
and the instrument is adopted by
a majority of from 0,000 to 10,00 .
Partners seem to Jiave voted .al
most solidly for it. The result
has caused much bitterness of
feeling in busi-iess circles, where
it is looked upon to a considerable
extent as an attack upon city in
terests 'by the interior. There is
evidently, however, a determina
tion to make the best of what ;s
believed to be the unfortunate
issue of the important quest:on.
The press of the city counsel quite
acquiosence in the inevitable and
sustained endeavor to ward off an v
ill effects expected to follow so
radical a change iiuthe organic law,
by careful choice of ollicers, and
prudent and conservative con
struction of its provisions.

'The house committee on foreign

consisting of Wilson, King
and Robeson, to consider the prac

Ezra S. PJayt, present commis

the grand jury. of Hudson county,
New Jersey, for conspiracy to 'de

International Trust company,
which collapsed last year, owing
rjlepositots over 177,000.

Private accounts from Russia
represent the situation all over
that country as beyond description,
and that the tendency of the so
called repressive measures are to
wards revolution rather than peace,
as present annoyances and out
rageous oppression of all classes
of population are rapidly spreading
the feeling that anything is prefer
able to the existing state of affairs,
ft is asserted that the government
is really playing the game of the
Nihilists, instead of crushing out
the spirit of discontent in the em
pire. It would seem that nearly ever3T
body who am read, in the northwes
tern and eastern states, should be
pretty well acquainted with the gen
eral features of Washington territory.
This is not the case, however, although
for ten years it has been the policy of
our faithful newspaper nieu to vmte
up this country and mail their papers
by the hundreds to all quarters east
of the llocky mountains. We be
lieve if the people at the east toel: as
much trouble to inform themselves in
regard to this coast as we do to post
them, "letter of inquiry" would be
unknown. Cut, on the. contrary, our
eastern friende appear to he about a?
ignorant of what we arc here, and
what we are doing as. Camille Flani
marion is concerning the people of the
moon. The above from the daily Ex
periment are our sentiments.
