THE U. S. GOVERNMENT AND RIEL.-
Major Mallet, an influential French Cana
dian, who is now in the United States, sends
a communication to Riel's sympathizers at
Quebec in which he gives the substance of
an interview had with Secretary Bayard
respecting Riel's case as follows:
81. The American Government will not
take the initiative in researches to be made
to establish Riel's title to American citizen
ship or his rights in that quality.
"2. Up to the present time the American
Government has not given any attention to
the question beyond inquiring from the wal
department as to the truth Of the statement
that Riel was made prisoner on American
soil, this inquiry having been made on
demand of the city of New York, which
asked for information on the subject.
"3. The Government will not consider the
question in any way unless it be presented
for its consideration in formal manner,
with a statement in writing of the facts and
arguments upon which an application Tor
its intervention is based.
81. The Government is not disposed to
investigate the facts or review the proceed
ings of the Court which passed judgment
on Riel unless it is shown that Riel's trial
was conducted according to more rigorous
methods than would be adopted in the trial
of subject of her Majesty under like cir
cumStanceS.
"5 The Government recognizes the prin
ciple that every country has the right to
determine for itself what constitutes trea
son, and is not disposed to question the
right of Canada to have tried Riel for trea-
son, even if he were an American citizen
by birth or process of naturalization.
"The secretary considered Riels case like
that of the Irish Revolutionaries, as they
are styled, in so far that the American Gov
ernment would do all that it was proper to
do for Riel as it has done for others.
A SWINDLER SLAIN-TOm Davis has
for several years occupied an office on the
third floor Of III Read street, New York.
His place seems never to have been clean
ed or swept, and he was known as quiet
dealer in mining stocks who disturbed no.
body and paid his rent regularly. On Mon
day he was shot dead in his Office by stran-
ger from Texas named Holland. 1t now
appears that Davis real business was that
of swindling swindlers by pretending to
sell them counterfeit money. Holland
had come from Texas to buy counterfeits
and Davis counted out to him $4,000 in
good bills representing them to be coun-
terfeits of a high grade. Holland was sat-
isted and the money was placed in a thick
bag which was put to one side. n brother
of Davis who was concealed behind a parti-
| tion then opened hidden door and at
tempted to remove. the bag and substitute
for it another exactly like it filled with
worthless paper, the game probably being
the same often played before. Holland de-
tected the proceeding and Immediately
drew a revolver and shot Davis through the
| heart.
