The expedition is under the direction of tho hureau-of navigation. Besides the Yukon andPutnam rivers, the natives say that Alaska has an other great river which has not been explored by white men. That anoth er large river exists is credited The Patnnm river runs in the general di rection of west south-west. It has not been found difficult of navigation for 400 miles, except at-rapids, where it has been necessary to pull stores, etc., over in boats of skiu. The coun try on the banks of the river is gen erally wooded .and rolling. The river empties into the sea, through a delta, io which there are about n dozen mouths, the longest of which begins about 40 miles up the stream. About twenty-five miles of the country are cut tip by the delta. The results of the exploration will be topographical aud hydrographic charts, and the bu reau of navigation will be placed in possession of full information about the contour of the country, about mountain ranges.tho depth of water in the river,and, generally speaking, the resources of the couutry. Unlike the Siberian coast, the Alas kan country produces enough to make itself, in the language of tho explor ers, "self-supporting." That iy, the explorers need have no fear or famine, during most of ths year, should disas ter befall them. The forests are dense and abound in vegetation. Game of every description is plenty. From certain nutritions roots the na tives make food. In places tho salm onberries, which taste not unlike strawberries, are found. The winter brings the mercury down to sixty de grees below zero; but in the spring and summer tho temperature of northern Alaska is agreeable, accord ing to the explorers. While the com ing expedition means that there will be a great deal of work to perform, tho dangers to be encountered are not noceeaarily great. "The risks," said one of the officers, are only those inoident to the exploration of any new country. We go for n trip of about eighteen months. We shall have pro visions sufficient to last us for three years. During the summer, the open season, we shall push ahead with the steamer, making trips of observa tion and surveying also into the in terior. In the winter we shall ex plore with sledges, wrapped up in fur conts. There will be two months of Arctic darkness when we will be unable to explore. The most dan gerous part of our previous expedi tion wae getting to and from Alaska. We shall probably leave San .Fran cisco about the first of ATay, and take a nativo interpreter at St. Michaels. The Russians never pushed inland along the Putnam river and the na tivas never saw a white man before our previons expedition arrived among them." The Soudan, according to a corre spondent writing to American Regis ter, Paris, from Cairo, and, taking the term to comprise tho whole area of Egypt proper, is an area of fertile, tillable, well-watered land, equal at least to the great states of Xew York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illi nois. Dr. Schweinfurth says that iu these remote regions he never saw a country teeming with a more thick ly settled and industrious popula tion. At Oregon City, Henry Witkrow has obtained a verdict of $15,000 against the Oregon and California Railroad company, for damages sustained by his infant child, which was thrown from the arms of its mother whL'e she was alighting from the train, and falling under the car wheels, had both of its legs cut off. The engi neer started the train before the lady had got entirely off the car. knula la a Bad Way. Russia has nearly run out of money, and seems to have no friends among the nations of Europe. The Nihilists give the government all manner of botheration and threaten its destruc tion. Russia is like a debilitated dys peptic without funds. Bnt there is hope for the most debilitated dyspep tic if somebody will only supply him with a bottle of. Brown's Iron Bitters. Mr. I. B. Thorpe, Chariton, Iowo, was afflicted with debility and dyspep sia of five years' standing. Brown's Iron Bitters cured him. Reports are good from the Rlack hawk mine in Tillamook county. A tunnel 9x4 feet at the mouth is being bored and richness increases with depth. About 25 feet have now been excavated.

The increase of flesh and strength, is perceptible Immediately after commenc ing to use the Emulsion. The Cod Liver OH emulsified with tbellypophosphites is most remarkable for ib healing, strengthening, and ilesli producing qualities. A very prevalent feeling in Eng land is that tho Prince of Wales' visit is a mistake now, though his frequent .visits to Jrelsnd 'would have been in .valuable had they been male years THE STONEY EXPEDITION ago. THK SHIAI1S AND SUMS. One of the most striking ciiarac teristics of the Afghan and Turco- man tni. wincu lias more titan once been very skillfully utilized by Russia in her operations against them, i3 the extreme bitterness with which they take bides in the great , controversy between the Snni and; Shiah sects, which may be called the Catholics and Protestants of Islam. The Shiahs, who are strong in Persia, hold Mohammed's son-in-law, AH. the fourth caliph, to be the prophet's only legitimate successor, denonnc-j ing his three forerunuers as usurp-1 ers, while the Snnis, who abound in Afguamstnu, hold a directly opposite creed. This feeling, which has made tho countless Perso-Afghan wars unspeakably ferocious, is carried to such a height that an Englishman j who lately begged the life of a wounded Persian wa3 answered by j one of his Afghan cemrades: "Wen 5 he only an unbeliever L would spare, him, but being a Shiah he must die." A. stranger entering nn Afguau or Turcoman camp is often met with the challenge, "What say'st thou of the first three caliphs?' and should he prouonnce in their favor, the crucial question follows, "What think'st thou of Ali?" to which if he value his life, he must reply, 4Ali was a Kafir" (infidel). A Russian 3IinNtcr' Opinion. Vienna, April lu. -Kaulbars. Rus sian minister, says: "The first shot was virtually fired by the Afghans. Komarofl s conduct was thoroughly correct. He did not even occupy ter ritory on the lutshk, which by the terms of the convention, he might have done. The Afghans fought iu the beginning with bravery, but at last fled iu wild confusion, leaving all their artillery and trains in the hands of KomarofT, as well ns many of their dead aud wounded." Respecting Komarofl, Kaulbars said: "In rank he is n lieutenant-general, and a mom berof the general staff. Iu the army ho is known as a most cautious and almost timid commander, and though not fearing danger, he fears to take the responsibility of action." Kaul bars cencluded: "I personally do not believe there will be war." .. London, April 13. Tho Daily Nctcx, in an editorial this morning, says: "The situation bIiows a more peaceful tendency, bnt though the intentions of Russia are good now, we cannot assume that they will be carried out. Events have simplified England's task. If war is to be avoided it mnst be shown that the Afghans, not the Russians aro blama ble for the collision, and also that Komaroffs action is no part of tho Russian policy. Then there must be no further Russian advance. If Rus sia is as anxious for peace as England is, neace ought to be secure." Nkw Oklevn's, April 11. Captain Doane of tho steamship Heredia, which arrived here to-day from Port Simon, Guatemala, says tho soldiers at that port have been ordered home. Ho says the Central American diffi culties are apparently settled by the death of Rarrios. Victoria, April 14. ReporLs from the interior state that 5,000 employes of the Canadian Pacific railway have gone on a strike, on account of not receiving their wages. Union City, Tenn., April 14. Rudd Farriss, white, and Freeman Ward, colored, were hanged at the fair grounds early this morning by a mob of 200 men. It is charged that Farriss aud Ward belonged to a gang of thieves who have committed many depredations. Philapelvhia, April 11. -The Times savs John Roach has been of fered $10,003 more for the dispatch boat Dolphin than this government has agreed to give. The offer comes from the Russian government, and Roach has demanded an immediate nnswer to his letter requesting final payment by the United States. Londen: April 11. Dispatches from Shanghai, received this after noon, state that there is a hitch in the final arrangements for execution of tho definite treaty of peace be tween France and China, owing to some concessions which China asks, and v.iiicli the French ambassador refuses to grant. For five months 1X.r. Thomas T. Rogers, 11G Spring St., JeiTersonville, Indiana, say3 his arm hung limp at his side. The doctors called it paraly sis and said he would never recover. He tried St Jacobs Oil, and from the first application the circulation seemed restored. By its continued use, in two weeks he recovered.
