A CLOUD FROM ALASKA.

[NewYork Herald, July 24)

Our Alaska purchase seems to be des» tined to make us a little trouble in that far away land. The steamer ‘California ”’ ar- rived at Port Townsend, W. T., last night, from Sitka, and the /Herald’s special dess patch from the former place states that a body of a thousand Indians will probably soon be on the island on their return from fishing, when the wiping out of the white population, forty in number, may be anti- cipated. The United States troops in Sitka, some fifty in all, have just been res moved, and their exit from the town was the signal for the inpouring of the Indians, who took possession of the Government buildings and pillagedthem. The chief of the Kolosh tribe announced that he claimed that the country belonged to him, and he intended to enforce his rights. The Indians who arrived before the * Calitore nia” left, became self-invited guests at the evening entertainments given among the white citizens, and refused to leave. An earnest demand is made for troops, and it is asked that a vessel be sent at once to the rescue of the inhabitants. There is pro- bably some rea] danger, as the United States Collector was a passenger on board the “California”? in bad health. It seems singular that Russia never had any Indian troubles on its hands when it was in poss session of Alaska, while we have been more than Once apparently on the verge of an Indian war there. May not this be ats tributable to the eflorts or fancies of our enterprising people, who may see perspec~- tive profits in the subsistence of troops, and in future treaties with and subsidies to the troublesome redmen ?

VFFECTS OF THE RIOTS UPON TRADE,

The effect of the strikes upon the whule-

sale business in New York, is quite marked.

There are few out of town buyers, as they

are Wailing until goods can be safely trans-

ported. *0One of the Railroads oftered to

take freight at the skippers’ risk, which

was refused,

A. i. Stewart and Claflin & Co., are

making n0 sales.

Phelps, Dodge & Co., says they can do

no business until the strikes are over.

The leather business is embarrassed. The largest tanneries in New Jersey and Penn-~ sylvania, have stopped shipping.

The principal sugar refiners, send no freight and have partially suspended busi- ness. The larger sugar warehouses atong the river front are guarded at night by armed men,

The wholesale tobacco trade is practically suspended for want of leaf from the South, and the stoppage of transportation,

Express companies refuse to transport bonds and other valuables to Washington, which injuriously effects the tinancial oper- ations of the Treasury Department.

The Washington Market butchers pay three cents a pound more for beef than they did before the strike. Five cattle trains being stopped no meat can arrive, aud if this continues, by Monday, there wil be no meat to be had. New York used about 10,000 head of catile every week; stop this supply, and we are reduc. ed to a fish and vegetable diet.

Wheat bas advanced from five to ten cents per bushel. The stock on hand is small, and we may be compelled to rely on Liverpool fur a supply. Corn and oats are also much higher. ‘Ihe arrival of butter, cheese and eggs have nearly cessed, and prices must go up if the strike continues. The banks make no more loans on collat- erals,

ihe President of the Produce Exchange says that parties are afraid to make ad- vances on bills ot lading on railway ships ments consequently this line of business is ata standstill.—New York paper.

WooLwica ARsENAL.—The proof departs ment of the Royal Arsenal is busily em- ployed in carrying out several important series of experiments, the most interesting ot which have for their object the utiliza~ Lion of modern warfare of the larger kinds of breech.loading guns. There are in store a number of T-inch Armstrong breechloaders, which have been for some years past regarded as obsolete, owing to the presumed unsuitability of the breech-~ loading system to the heavy charges re- quired for the attack of ironclad ships, and it has been thought desirable to ascertain how far these guns are to be trusted in case of emergency. They have therefore been tried with increasing charges at the proof butts, and have up to the present stood the test perfectly, but they will bave to endure a much heavier strain before they attain the velocity requisite for the penetration of iron armour, If the breech~ ioaders should pass a satisfactory trial spex cial projectiles of the Palliser type will have to be manufactured, but it is not pro« bable that the original system of lead. coating the shot to take the polygroove rifling will be resorted to, a coupie of cop. per rings, or the new gas check, offering advantages of a superior nature. The second 8U- ton gun at Sho-buryness, having fired two shots as a sort of private experi- ment, is awaiting furtLer orders. The firs ing bas done but little injury to the ad. jecent soldiers’ cottages, and, the weakest of those structures having been shaken to pieces last year, but little further damage is anticipated from future experiments. The deliberations of the committee as to the use of the gas check to rotate the pros

jectile, and the kind of rifling to be adopt. ed, are accountable for the delay. ’

THE BELLIGERENTS IN BULGARIAJ

It was high time that the Yhorcughly in- competent commander of the Turkish forces on the Balkans should be superseded, This resolution came not a moment too soon, for the Russians had begun to léarn that they could move their forces with an impunity almost amounting to reckless ness, in any part of Bulgaria. With Sulie~ man Pasha it will, however, be different. He has already proved himself to be a man of energy, a good soldier, and an able mili- tary tactician. It is true he assumes the command of an army almost demoralized by the rapid and audacious manner in which they have been attncked, out-man« ceuvred and out-marched ; but the Turkish soldier is a fatalist of the first water. His spirits are as easily raised as they are des pressed, and although Sulieman Pasha can. not bring more than 60,000 troops upon any given spot, yet his name will inspire

the troops with fresh vigor and enthusiasm,

and the Russians may yet have some severe work before they billet themselves uuder the minarets of Adrianople, All doubt as

to the possession of Shipka Pass by the

Russians is at an end, and although Gen- eral Gourkha has been severely criticised for this almost impudent movement, yet audacity is always sanctioned by success,

especially if the end be attained.

By the possession of the Shipka pass the

Russians have fairly cooped up the Turkish

forces in Bulgaria in a very limited area.

lt is true that the Shumla pass is still in

the hands of the Turks, keeping up the

communications with Constantinople, but

the position of General Gourkha at Kazan-

lik, reinforced and strengthened as he now

is, together with the main road through Bulgaria from Simnitza to’ the Shipka pass

being in the hands of the Russians, places the Turks in a very precarious position; in fact, it is absolutely necessary that the Turks should at once assume the offensive before the vast resources of Russia inun- date Bulgaria. This will no doubt take

place at or near Jeni-Sagra, where the ad« vance of General Gourkha now lies, inas< much as Sulieman Pasha has by a rapid

movement united his forces with those of Raouf Pasha at Karabunar,

Since the establishment of the Reform Club in Halifax the liquor sellers’ business in certain sections of the city has heen greatly interfered with. On man says that his store, which is always crowded on Sats uriay nights, was not visited by a solitary

man on Saturday last until ten o’clock. In —

one or two instances the words “and liquor” have been obliterated from grocers sign board.

Count Schouvaloff, however, was equal to the occasion, Before the mus. sic began, and while the various diploma- tists were discussing thc question of the war on the eccentricities of Lord Salisbury, he retired to an opposite corner to that. thus occupied, and only returned at the. last moment to the privileged seats.
