AFFAIRS AT ALASKA—DISTRIBUTION OF PRESENTS TO THE INDIANS—UP IN THE ARCTIC REGIONS. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury has recelved a re- port from Capt. M. A. Healy, commanding the revenue steamer Corwin, now cruising tn Alaskan waters, The Corwin arrived among the whaling fleet off Cape Hope, A. T., July 19th. On the erutse from St. Michals, while anchored off the village at Nortuwest cape, 1t was learned that a steamer answering to the description of the Bonito, of San Franefico, had been off the village @ short time before the Corwin’s arrival, and had traded two breech-loading rifles and a supply of cartridges. The Benito, which had a supply of rifles and cartridges for trading pur- poses, had been sent tothe Arctic sea with a sup- ply of coal for the steam whalers. ‘The health of St. Lawrence Island 1s reported good. July 14th the Corwin anchored in Lutke’s harbor, and in the evening the natives from the village of North Head visted the vessel and recetved the portion of the presents sent to them by the Navy department in charge of Ensign Stoney. A sim‘lar distribution. was made the sotlowig diy to the natives at South Head. The Tchucktchees received their presents with apparent indifference, though they were undoubtedly much elated. The Corwin continued her cruise through the Behring’s Straits into the arctie "ocean. The coast Ine was followed and a sharp lookout kept for trading vessels without flading any irregularities, Seventeen vessels of the whaling fleet were found at Point Hope. Three of them were searched, but no unlawful goods were found. The whalers reported a very poor season, Capt. Haly says that owing to the condition of the fee it would be Impossible for the Corwin to so much further up the coast. Many of the expe- rienced whaling captains thought it would be Im- possible to reach Point Barrow this year. ees slices The New Two Cent Stamp. SOME PRACTICAL QUESTIONS AS TO THE EFFECT OF THIS ISSUE ANSWERED, To the Editor of THe EvEstxe Sran: ROcK VILE, Mp,, Sept. 15, 1883. You will certainly oblige one and probably others of your readers, by kindly answering the following queries in reference to the new postage rates, &€.: 1st. Will the present two cent stamp bo ac- cepted as letter postage equally with the pro- posed new issue? 2d. If not, why not? 3d._ If the present stamp twill pay postage on a letter as well as the new stamp, what was the use of going to the expense of having a new two cent stamp designed and issued? 4th. Was there any good reason why the pres- ent two cent stamp should not suffice for paying letter postage under the new rate, or in other words, was there really any necessity (other than giving somebody a new “fo”) for the designing and Issuing of a new two cent stamp? Sth. Is not the Post Office compelled, or can- not tt be compelled by law, to exchange any and all present issues of postage stamps for the new two cent tssue cent tor cent? 6th. It not, 1s not tuts equivalent to a virtual dishonoring by the government of its own (posta Apanclal credit? c Ust and 21—Certainly. The government will not repudiate any of its issues, and the old two- cent stamp can be used concurrently with the new stamp. i 8d and 4th—In the first place, the design of the new two-cent stamp Was no extra expense to the government, for the reason that under the con- tract with the manufacturers of the stamps they are required to make any new dle or any change in the designs in use without extra expense when required to do so by the government, ‘There were several reasons for making the change in the design of the two-cent stamp. One was tht the head of Washington on the stamp for the letter rate would have been abandoned, Ever since stamps were first issued this has been the design. In 145. the stamp contained the head of Washington.” Then when the rate was reduced in 1851 and 1661 this design was retained. The only exception was In_ 1869, when we had a three-cent stamp with the design of a railroad train. ‘This Was withdrawn in 1870. and the Washington head substituted. When postage was azain reduced, in 1883, the Post Office department sitnply adhered to the old custom and substituted for the head of Jackson on the two-cent stamp that of Washing- ton. ‘The Jackson design has not been abandoned, but has been put on the nelw four-cent stamp. 5th and 6:h—There 1s no law requiring the Post Office department to exchange the Old issue of stamps for the new. The department, however, will make some provision for exchanging the stamps. It is only a question of time. AU present the work of exchanging cannot be undertaken for lick of clerical force. Any of the stamps of the old issue can be used. ‘The three cent stamps,.for instance, can be used to pay the postage on third and fourth-class matter; or when more than one Tate 1s necded a three cent stamp used with a one cent stamp would pay for two rates. In the case of postmasters the three cent stamps will be ro- turned to the department and the amount cred- ited in making up their accounts with the depart- met.—EbITOR STAR} ———— District Government Affaire.

Loxpox, Sept. 18—O'Donnell, the murderer of Carey, was landed at Southampton at 9 o'clock this morning and placed on board the train for London, The train arrived at Vauxhall at noon, where the prisoner was met by a large force of police and escorted to the prison van. He w: then, under escort of the police, driven to Mill- bank jail. SCENES AT THE LANDING AT SOUTHAMPTO: O'Donnell was taken froia the steai enta When three miles off Southampton by the police tug and brought to the cattle sheds at the end of the quay. ‘Tue detectives kept their 80 secret that bur few landing, and with the e there Were not a dozen pre quay was closed to the public and the local polica guarded the gangway. A large detacument of London police’ surrounded O'Donnell and his party as they landed. A poitce inspector ana some detectives had the immediate personal charge of the prisoner, who Was aot handcuffed, and who obeyed the orders of his guardians with alacrity. A’soon as it became publicly known that O’Donnell had landed A RUSH WAS MADE BY THE CROWD along the neighboring quays, the measures taken by the pclice Were 80'exceilent that the public obtained only a distant view of the party. Vhen his bacgage had been landed the prisoner was conducted to the rear of the sheds, where a locomotive and two cars were in waiting.” O'Don- hell took a seat in a first-class carriage, police- men filling the remaining seats. The train was then rapidly driven along the dock sidings until it reached the depot, where it was learned that there would be a delay of a half-hour. In view of this the train was run on a siding some distance along the main line to avoid the public, where it awaited the DEPARTURE OF THE MAIL TRAIN FOR LONDON, to which it was attached.
