THREATENED INDIAN TROUBLE.
Burning to AvenRe the Recent Lynching of
Their Friend.

BURNING 10 ANtukt va
Their Friend.
An Ottawa, Ontario, special SAYS: Pre-
mier Smithe, OF British Columbia, who j.;
at present in this city. states that inf0rma-
ton he has received from his Government
points to the possibility Of trouble arising
out Of the recent lynching OF an Indian by
party of disguised Americans, who,
after kidnapping the Indian in question,
took him across the border and hanged
him to a tree, where his body was found
next morning. 1t will be remembered
that sir Alexander Campbell stated in the
Senate, few DAYS since, taat the outrage
bad been made the subject Of international
correspondence with the United States
Government.
The latest information from British Co.
lombia states that the Indians in the vicinity
OF the murder are greatly excited over the
affair. They recently held grand council.
which lasted three days, and which was at
tended by Indians from all parts OF the
country, the object being to determine
what action should be taken in the matter.
1t was decided at the council that they
would cross in body into Washington
Territory and hang the first white man they
caught to the tree upon which their friend
met his death. Hearing that the Indians
were preparing for an invasion OF United
States territory, and that they meant retalia-
ton, one OF the Indian agents went up into
the country where they had congregated,
and, after representing that the matter
would be referred to the queen and that
their wrongs would be redressed, they
promised to take no action for the present.
It is possible, however, that, at any mo-
ment, they may decide to carry their threats
into effect, which would undoubtedly end
in great bIoodshed, should they once start
on the war-path. The Dominion Govern
ment here have been made aware OF the
impending danger.
Mr.. Smithe says that he has instructed
his Government to lake every possible
means to see that no breach OF the peace is
committed. The situation, however, he
says, is now alarming from the fact that
the Indians on the United States side Of
the boundary are willing to join their Ca
madam brothers in ayenging the death OF
their comrade. The Governor Of Wash
ington Territory is doing everything in
his power TO bring the lynchers to justice.

Who traVailed in pain with the births of God
 And planted State with prsyers'
 This ancient church, ip whose house of worship we meet to-day, is coeval with the town. In fact it was the town in the early days. None but communlcants here were allowed to take part in public affairs These men had come hither at mighty cost to themselves in order that they might worship God in their own way. This was their place for they had made it, and they proposed to keep it and to guard against every possible danger. At 8 great price they had obtained their liberty ard they were free men ''who knew their rights and knowing dared maintain" And this manly and persistent defense of their own liberty. singularly enough and unexpectedly to them, laid the foundation of that liberty which we all enjoy to-day. They soved the seeds of freedom with toll and pain. To- day we reap the harvest with great rejoicing. The principle which they brayely and per sistently maintained has in the intervening years matured it's legitimate fruits and liber- ty of conscience is secured for all men, Already in 17a4 there were two other churches Of this order and little Episcopal church on Church street, still regarded with suspicion by thorough-going patriots. and 8 small dwindling congregation of 8 pecu- liar sect known as Sandimanians. And now around this central spire how many houses of worship rise, at the sight of many of which our fathers would have lifted their hands in holy horror? For not only has the Oonpregational order increased and null tipIied, but that Protestant Episcopal church, which was so much suspected one hundred years ago, has waxed strong and useful and has commanded the respect of all men. And here are the Methodist churches, monuments of that mighty revival of religion in which Wesley led And here are the churches dis tinguished by their adherence to that prin- ciple for which Roger Williams suffered exile from Massachusetts. And hither has come the great. historic church of Christen- dom. which is in so true a sense the mother of us all, which regards us indeed with pity as erring and prodigal children, but whose pity we repay with reverence for her august history, for the brave strength with whic
