Special to.tho Record-Uxiox. Skattlk (Wash.), July ZL—Last April Lieutenant E. J. Glave and Jack Walton started from here to explore the interior of Alaska. They first went to Alaska two years ap;o and explored the country between the Yukon and the south coast, going north and south. This year they were to go east and west, reaching an entirely unknown region on the first trip. They discovered rich mineral deposits, and the great object of this year's expedition was to lind a trail by which pack horses might be take into the interior and the mines developed. A letter from Lieutenant < Have was re ceived here yesterday, written Juno 9th. "In Central Alaska," the letter says, "wo have been entirely successful With the venture of taking pack-horses into the heart of Alaska. Fjom my present position, an immense valley* thickly clothed with luxuriant grasses, stretches far away for miles in all directions. We have had all kinds of experiences in reaching the present point, but we are here safe and sound, with all our horses in good condition. When the difficult barriers are crossed, a splendid country is reached—deep, swift streams and lakes, all well stockad with fish, and line pasture and fruits in abundance. The winter is severe, but not so dreadful as is generally supposed." COAST FIRES. Destructive Fires In Chico—Lebanon, Or., Sutlers. Cirico, July 21.—This place was visited by two fires last evening.

SHERMAN TALKS. !BE ADDRESSES THE CINCINNATI CHAMBER OF COMMKIICK. Something About Protection and Reci procity, and How They Affect the Business Men. Sppoial to tho Record-Untox. Cincinnati, July 21.—This afternoon at the close of 'Change hours, Senator Sherman was escorted into tho Chamber iof Commerce. He was greeted with loud applause, and a speech was called for. Tiie Senator, in part, said that all the issues of the day are the business issues. "I'm not g<'i"'.g to la!k politics," he said, "but there are issues that appeal to the business man. whether he be Democrat or Republican. The mode of levying t.<\e-> will always cause a difference of opinion, and parties will always divide upon the question: 'How shall money be raised to support the Government?* and SO the mode of levying taxes interests you all. Now the question is: "Is the! way we have done it a wise one?' "Take the question of the development and protection of sugar. We arc experi menting with the production of sugar by means of tlie beet, as well as with cane. There is the question of tin. We hear a good dc:il about tin-horns and the like. We consume about 600,000 tons of tin. Now the tin of commerce is about 86 per cent. iron, and the question is to produce our own tin, and we are experimenting to that end. There is the question of reciprocity with nations, a sj>ocial ar rangement by which we can get articles in free which we do not produce our selves by reciprocating with other nations on something which they cannot produce. Reciprocity, and also the ques tion of silver, is an issue which touches the pocket of all business men." SACRAMENTO, WEDNESDAY MOBNTtfG, JULY 22, 1891. QUIET AT COAL CREEK. The Miners Resolve to Resort to No Further Violence. GOVERNOR BUCHANAN IS IN A PECULIAR PREDICAMENT. The "Black Pearl" Defeats Elllnjjs worth, the Ex-Amateur Chnnipioii Middle-Weight—The Plan to Boy cott the Chicago and Alton Road Believed to bo Ineffective—Now York's Leper. Special to the Record-Union*. Nashvxixb (Term.), July 21.—A spe cial from Coal Crock, Term., to the Amcr- I icon, says: A meeting of tiie miners was I held this afternoon. When the men lirst assembled there were a few hot-heads, but they were quickly suppressed. There were speeches by a number of the leaders, all of a conservative tone and advising against any violation of the law. The men said they simply wanted the convicts sent away and noth ing more or less. A resolution was unan imously passed to appoint a committee of five to go to Knoxville ami Nashville, if necessary to confer with Governor Bu chanan, and arbitrate the present diffieul j lies. • Commissioner Ford and Assistant Alte man were invited and asked to go with the committee. Resolutions were also unanimously passed that each man pledge himself on his honor that not one dollar's worth of property would be de j stroyed and the company's property be guarded. It was further determined no one should offer violence to any one except in self-defense. There is a sense of relief and quiet since the meeting. A telegram was received from the Kentucky side at Joyce to-day offering a j large number of men in case help way j needed. The reply was for the men to hold themselves in readiness in case they were called for. Nearly every man pres ent at the meeting had a shotgun or a Winchester rille besides revolvers. THE OOVEHNOK'S PREDICAMENT. Kxoxvim.i; (Term.), July 21. — The mine trouble is in statu quo, and the end no one can see. Five hundred militiamen have arrived i and are now in camp. Brigadier-Gen j era! Carnes says he is simply waiting orders from Governor Buchanan. Tho Constitution and laws of Tcnnes i see arc peculiar and anomalous. The j '-Jovcriior of the State is in doubt whether he can order out the military Legally, and it is sure that he cannot proclaim martial law throughout the mining region. To endeavor to proceed against the miners civilly would lie folly, ;ls the sympathy of all classes is with tiie miners, and con viction would be almost impossible. MBXPms, July 21.—A special from Nashville says: Governor Buchanan and Attorney-Genera] Pickle have been clos eted to-day concerning the question of the legality of the Governor's action in ordering the militia to Briceville after the Sheriff had left the scone. Pickle late I this afternoon handed in a written opin ion to the Governor, in which, it is un derstood, he says the Governor's action was justified by law in sending the troops, but they can only be used under civil authority, and unless the Sheriff comes forward and again asks for assist ance, the millitia will have to be called. The Governor is very indignant at the Sheriff for failure to uphold the dignitylof j the law. It is also understood that the Governor will make another attempt to pacify the miners. Shouid he fail, he will probably call an extra session of the Leg islature and leave the matter in the Gen ■ era! Assembly's hands. STii.!. (-rn:T. Coai. Okkbk, July 21.—At 10 o'clock this evening everything was quiet. The miners are firmly convinced that they will eventually triumph, and so long as this feeling prevails no violence will be done. Tho belief is increasing that the Governor has no authority to send the militia here.'. The men renew their as surances made at this afternoon's meet ing that no violence will be done to the mine property. 3-: LIVINGS WORTH WHIPPED. Tho "Black Penrl'* Defeats the Ex- Amnteur Champion. MxKinßAPOxjs, July SL— Joe Fllings- I worth of New York, ex-amateur middle ! weight champion of America, and Harris Martin, better known jis the "Black Pearl," of Minneapolis, fought to a linish to-night under the auspices of the Twin City Athletic Club, before a large crowd of spectators. The fight was for a purse of£L<SOO. Four-ounce gloves were used, and each contestant weighed a fraction less than 100 pounds. Henry Seeley was referee. In tho first round both men sparred for an opening, and Ellingsworth got in a couple of good body blows as time was called. In the second Ellingsworth led out with his right and left, nearly sending the Pearl to the ground. After an ex change of half a dozen smart blows tho Pearl drew tirst blood from Etlings worth's neck, sending him to the ground. The third round was vicious. An upper cut, followed with a left lunge, sent El lingswortfa on his back. A blow behind the left ear sent him down again. After an exchange of face and body blows, a stomach blow sent him down again, and before the end of the round he was floored fourth, this time by a right-hander. The New Yorker was hardly able to keep his feet in the fourth round. "Throw up the sponge," "Don't murder the man." cried the audience, but he was game. Tho Pearl rained blow after blow upon his faro and body, sending him to bis corner four times in as many seconds. The fifth was a repetition of the preced ing round, Ellingsworth making but an Infant's resistance, while the blood flowed from his lace. An upper cut sent i him reeling across the ring. He tried to i rise, but fell back just as his seconds threw up the sponge. The "Mack Pearl" was practically un touched, while Ellingsworth was badly \ punished. A PRAW AT ST. PAT'L. St. PArr., July 21.—A large crowd to night witnessed a twelve-round fight be tween Wenkemmiok and Murphy, for SM'X). Both men did good work. Murphy was very quick, and had he been stronger would have won. The light was de cided a draw. BOYCOTTING TIIE ALTON. Some Tliink the Plan Will Not Be Ef fectual. Chicaoo, July 21.—The opinion is be coming general that there are to bo im portant developments in the fight against the (.'liicago and Alton Koad, although Chairman Finley denies that his course luh been prompted by any other Influ ence than his own judgment. It is argued by knowing ones that his action lias been directly in line with the i»l:ui to force the Alton into the Western Tralnc Association. It is understood that the present idea is to extend the boycott to include the freight us well as tho pas senger traffic, the pisrpose seeming to bo to close all outlets of tho Alton, oast and west, and bottle it up so that it will be unable to do anything but local business. The weak point i»; tho plan is that it would not deprive tIM Alton of the power to do mischief by a v, lolesale slashing of rates. It would'prevent the other roads from deriving any bt.;c-tit from the heavy increase in the tonnage expected to mark the remaining months of the year. NAVAL MANEUVERS. Dress Parade anil Drill of Militia on tho Hudson. New Yokk, July 21.—The marine dress parade and practice of the naval reserve militia, in connection with the visit of tho White squadron to these waters, was an event in which New Yorkers and the citizens of New Jersey were to a great extent interested to-night. Both sides of the river, in the vicinity of West Fiftieth street and the docks and small river craft, were densely packed with spectators. The evolutions of the boats of the warships, manned by stal wart militiamen under the trained guid ance of naval oilicers, made a pretty spectacle upon tho qparkling waters 6f the Hudson. Admiral Walker directed the operations, and steam cutters guided and led many boats arranged in eplnmns according to ships to which they belonged. The drill occupied upward of an hour. SACRIFICED HIS LIFE. A Tonne; Man (iocs Into a Burning Mine For His Friend. Mabquktte (Mich.), July 21.—Peter Pascoe, son of Superintendent Pascoe, and James Dower were suffocated in the Republic iron mine to-day.

Pascoe's companions reached the skip and were drawn up, and young I Dower went down with four men to find Pascoe. The rescuing party was soon drawn up unconscious, but as soon as I lower re vived he went back again, and the life less body of himself and Paseoe were taken out three hours later. The tire is still raging fiercely and great damage is already done. Temporal* jo Women. Mountain Lake Park (Md.i, July 21.—The conference of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union has ad journed.

HALL AND FITZSIMMONS. GOVSB9TOB BfERRIAIf SAYS HE IIAS NO HIGIIT TO INTERFERE. Tho Authorities Are, However, Called Upon to Eni'orcc tho L.aw—ritz simmons is Arrested. Special to the Record-Union. St. PaOT, July 21.—1n the pugilistic world this city is the center <tf attraction to-night. There have boon rumors without end to-day of warrants and arrests, and much excitement prevailed. Tho first move this morning of the op ponents of the Hall-Fitzsimmons light was a continuation of last night's mass meeting. Over 300 men and women called on Governor Merriam early with a statement that the law was about to bo violated; that they, as citizens, were un able to prevent it, and calling on the Governor to see that the laws were en forced. Archbishop Ireland, ex-Chief Justice McMillan, and others spoke. Governor Merriam responded that a consultation with legal authority had shown him that he had no authority to interfere, but he said he would do what was in his power. The Attorney-General had informed him that he could issue a proclamation, and this tho Governor did this afternoon. It recites that it had been called to his at tention that a prize light is to be fought; sets forth the law on the subject, and ex pressly enjoins all ollicers whose duty relates to the prevention of said offense to faithfully execute the law, and apprehend any person engaged in a violation of the same. Sheriff Bean this evening said he would consult with his attorney, and whatever he told him was his legal duty he would do. Tho warrants issued yesterday for the arrest of pugilist Fitzsimmons and his trainers, Smith and Carroll, were served late this afternoon. They were at once taken before Judge Cory, and Fitzsim mons gave a bond of §500 to keep the peace. Carroll and Smith wero released on bail, their cases being continued until Friday. Jim Hall arrived to-day, but has not been arrested. Notwithstanding the organized and strong opposition to the fight, the club people feel certain to-night that it will come off. The principals will undoubt edly be arrested when they appear in the ring, but will give bonds, and the light will proceed. IRELAND'S RECOVERY. Crime Diminished, Eviction's Les sened and Trade Increased. A LOCAL GOVERNMENT BILL TO BE OFFERED BY ENGLAND. Hie London "Standard" Attributes the Improved Condition to the Stoppage of Contributions from tho United States—Tho Pop© Says lie >«ever Fu vored the Cnhensly Proposition— Chinese Kiots. Spooial to the RecorivVniox. London, July2l.— Tho intimation made by Bulfour in the Commons yesterday, to the effect that a local government bill for Irckind, bwwd on the same lines as the English ami Beoteh Acts, will bo intro duced bj thi! <u)venunont at the next session of P:\rliament, is founded on fact, and such ;; measuro will certainly become part of tin Government programme for the next session. The discussion of estimates in Parlia ment lias been made the occasion for long reviews in the press, in which the im proved condition of Ireland, the fact that crime Lb diminished, trade increased, evic tions lessened in number, boycotting al most ceased,the plan of campaign is almost extinct, and emigration ceased, are con siderably touched upon. ] luring the past week live principal banking corporations of Ireland have held annual meetings and declared dividends of 10 per cent. The Standard, in referring to this im provement of condition, says: Ireland asserts that the discontinuance of subsi dies received from the United States is largely responsible for the improvement. The tenants, the Standard adds, bribed by American dollars, will persist in their dishonest and unlawful conspiracy; but, j left to face unaided the consequence of their criminal mistake, first in one place and then in another, they have found it necessary, while humiliating. The col lapse of the plan of campaign has given warning as to the worth of the solemn pledges of the agitators. Gladstone has already stilted that it is indispensable that the Conservatives in some respects have a great advantage in undertaking home rule legislation, for when the Tories pro pose radical legislation the Lords growl, but they bear it. In the meanwhile, the j most remarkable feature is the curious j reapproachment between Bailout- and the I Irish members. The Irish see that their arch-opponent is. after all. human, and that he has qualities of sincerity and courage not inferior to their own. The change hits been on both sides, and Dai four has perhaps learned the most. NEWS FROM CHINA. Tho Riotlntr Continues—Chinese Can Xow do to Brazil. Victoria (B. G\), July ill.—The steam ship Empress of India, which arrived tins morning, brought Japanese dates to July Bth. The Chinese papers state that Li Hung Chang recently made the following re mark: "Now that China has made a treaty with Brazil, our countrymen can go there and never mind the United ; State-/' Chinese Consulates are to be established at several points on the Pacific Coast. Victoria is to have one and Portland also. The leader of the Wuhu riots has been | arrested at Shanghai, and handed over to the Chinese authorities. The whole | southern portion of China is in a state of turmoil. Law and order are set at defi ance, and armed bands of plunderers make business almost impossible. MITCHELL,, THE PUGILIST. He Ciets Drunk and Runs Amuck In a London Club. London, July 2±— Charley Mitchell, I the pugilist, was drunk and boisterous at the Sportsman's Club last night, and When servants interfered with his antics he attacked them furiously. He knocked several of them down, kicking and jumping on their prostrate forms. Finally the attaches of the club i managed by their united efforts to throw | the pugilist down. One servant had a piece of his nose bitten off, and another a j piece out of his leg. I Summons have been granted against Mitchell, who is trying to smooth the matter over and avoid prosecution. Inland Shipping. London*, July 21.—The new American steel steamer, Charles W. Wetmore, which sailed from Duluth, Minn,, in tho latter part of June, arrived at Liverpool j to-day. Tho Wetmoro is an inland built I steamer, and her cargo, consisting of 95,000 bushels of grain, is the first grain cargo snipped from a lake port direct to Liverpool without being rehandled. The route was down the lakes from Duluth through tho NVelland canal, down the St. Lawronce River and across tho Atlantic. The success of tho voyage is evidence that the proposition to establish a direct communication between European and other ports and Chicago is entirely feasi ble. Bitter Acainst the English. London, July 21.—A Buenos Ayres letter says: Intense distress prevails among the poor. Prices are advancing rapidly. A barrel of Hour has, within a month, risen to §28 50. Men are fre quently seen picking food from the offal heaps. Business people blamo the Eng lish bankers for their policy of prop ping the Barings and thus protracting a crisis. The public feeling is bitter against tho English, and British flags are dis played in honor of national fetes and are | torn down. Misery In Chile. London, July 21.—The following ad vices have been received from Chile via Buenos Ayres: President Balmaceda has had shot at Valparaiso, Richard Com ming, the son of an Englishman who I was born in Chile. The prisons are filled with sufferers, without respect to age, class or sox. Two hundred persons aro imprisoned in Valparaiso. No secur ity is afforded to foreigners. Judges are removed unless they aro friendly to Bal maeeda, Cahensly Incident. Rome, July 21.—President Harrison's views on matters advocated by Herr Ca hensly and Strapharl, secretaries, as out lined to Cardinal {ribbons at an inci dental meeting between the President and the Cardinal at Cape May last Wed nesday, have been communicated to the Vatican. Tho Pope declared he never favored the plan of appointing Bishops of the nationalities of Roman Catholic com munities in the United States, as ad vanced by Herr Cahensly. The incident is thus closed. Canadian Sealers. Ottawa (Ont.), July 21. —According to the returns received at the Fisheries De partment, the number of sealskins se cured by the British Columbia fleet in tho waters of IJehring Sea, up to June 30th, was 17,800. The skins have been safely landed at Victoria, tho owners this year having taken the precaution to send up a vessel early in the month for the purpose of collecting the oatoh from the different schooners. Irish Freeaom. London, July 21.-During tho debato on the Irish estimates in the House of Commons, Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland, intimated thai a Local Govern ment bill for Ireland, based broadly on tho same lines as English and JScotch Acts, will be introduced at the next ses sion. Ho asked whether the bill would have the support of the Irish members. T. M. Healy said that it would have their support. Double Drowulii". Moxtkkal, July 21.—At Longpoint to-day, '.iaston Robert, tho eleven-year old son of a wealthy merchant of Mon treal, while playing on a wharf, fell into the river. Agnes Langpfe, a maid of the family. Jumped in and attempted to res cue him. but both wore drowned. Mrs. Robert also jumped in and had a narrow escape. Alvnry*s Success. Bayrkuth, July 21.—Ilerr Alvary, the popular tenor of America, achieved his greatest triumph at the performance yes terday Of "Tristan and Isolde" at'the Wagner Theater. Even the anti-Alvary faction, which was strongly represented in the audience, became enthusiastic in its approval. The Pope to Caruot.

Evidence that the Colorado River Has Filled the Basin at Various Times—Tho Evaporation. Special to the Record-Union. Nbw York, July 21.—Major John W. Powell, Director of tho United States Geological Survey, believes that the new lake which has been growing in Colo rado Valley is tho overflow of tho Colo rado River through a newly made mouth. Ho says the traditions of the Indians are by no means the onlj r evidence that the basin has been filled wholly or partially before. Since the delta was formed that portion of Uie Gulf of California was cut oft' and left to evaporate under the ter rific heat of the sun. The Colorado has been playing pianks of this sort on several occasions, ho says. Along the hills which form the sides of this basin there are shore marks which indicate that at different times the basin has been flooded to different hights, and then when the river cut back through its old channel evaporation has again changed the lake to a parched desert. The indications are that the valley has been inundated within fifty years. There is no immediate danger of the basin being fillod, because it requires a large volume of water to till it to the river level, and the evaporation is some thing wonderful. Tho waters of the Colorado are saline, for the river Hows througH beds of rock salt at places many miles up from its mouth, and the succes sive deposits from the waters of this river as they have Hooded the valley and then dried up have added largely to the original deposit.
