The "World's" special from Winnipeg,
Manitoba, says the situation in the Cana
dian northwest is grave and daily becoming
more critical and complicated. The Creese,
a powerful tribe, who have repeatedly pro-
tested against Sitting Bulls hunting buff
falo on their grounds, and been paciied
with assurances that he would soon return
to the United States, are FESTIVE under the
rapid extinction OF game, and 1900 war
riors have assumed a threatening attitude.
The American Sioux slaughtered nearly all
the buffalo south Of Battle river, and the
buffalo have fled south to the limits Of Ar
thabasca district. The restitution Of the
Canadian Indians is extreme. Many cases
Of c~annibalism have been reported, and
one or two Hudson Bay posts have been
.plundered by starving savages. Lieuten-
ant Governor Laird, whose seat Of govern
ment is Battleford, has sent his family into
Winnipeg, and his position is very critical.
Three weeks ago chief indian Commission
er Dewdrey endeavored to arrange matters
with Great Bear, who consented to keep
quiet till the Government had finally de-
cided what course to pursue. Sitting Bulls
band was removed north of Wood noun
tain, but conflicts were going on between
them and the Canadian Creese and San
teaux. A dispatch arrived to-day from
police Fort Walsh saying that they antici-
pated very serious trouble. Colonel o.
borne Smith. in command Of the Canadian
force, leaves for the scene Of the trouble on
Friday. The police force numbers $50
men. The Dominion Government is has
tlly organizing six companies of mounted
infantry. No particulars have been re-
ceived Of what has happened, but the mes
sage from Fort Walsh was most urgent.
There are three companies of infantry, a
troop Of cavalry and a field battery here,
all volunteers. The Dominion forces were
disbanded a year ago. The accounts rep
resent Sitting Bulls following to be 5000
men, women and children, is probably too
high an estimate.
The Panama Canal.
NEW YORK, August 29.
Regarding Grants alleged acceptance of
the Presidency of the Nicaraguan Canal
Company, a siSun's" special learns that
the plan is merely one Of the hobbies of
Ammen. He believes that with Grants
name all the money required could be Sc
cured in this country and Europe. 1t was
with this view that he addressed a letter to
Grant, and his acceptance of the PROPOSE
ion marks his first connection with the
enterprise. Nathan Appleton, one of the
American delegates to tie Paris Cana o
,ress, writes to the .sWorld" as follows
With two such men as De Lesseps and
Grant at the head Of the international
Canal Company they would be able to
aise funds and begin work without delay.
That this may come about is my sincere
wish. The 'World's" editorial discour-
gees this copartnership idea and believes
hat American capitalists and business
men will not recommend Grant to accept
he divided control with De Lesseps over
The work.
C0nkling's Grip.
New YORK, August 90.
The Chimes" Utica special criticizes the
appointment made yesterday by the Re-
oublicans of Roscoe Conkling as q delegate
o The State Convention. The correspond
snt says his object in going to the Conven-
ion is to show to the country hat the re-
cent events in Rhode Island do not compel
I'm to keep aloof from public affairs. III
his relation it will not be amiss to say that
the prevailing public sentiment in this part
If the State is that until the Senator has
made some satisfactory explanation of that
flair it will hardly do for him to assume
the role Of absolute dictator, which he per-
formed with such credit to himself and
disaster to the party in the Rochester Con-
vention of 1877. That he will have the
good sense to take a modest position, which
would become him under the circum-
stances, is, by the majority Of well-informed
people here, regarded as extremely
doubtful.

He blamed the South for their radical
views upon it, in which they held that they
had the right to secede, and the North for
the extreme opposition which led them to
some acts unauthorized by the Constitu-
ton, and which had tended to incite the
south. The wal had settled the question
,f secession, and he did not believe there
are a thousand sane men in the country
believe in the right Of secession.
