7HE dixie SCAND AL.

LONDON, August &--lThe scandal in
which Sir Charles lailke ie involved
will not down at his bidding, and even
his lavish payment of Sa25, COS to the
aap8aoved but pnrchasasle husband has
not been potent enough to secnre him
peae. His political enemies have now
Iakea up the story in earnest, and
deliberately propose to uee it as cam.
paign.ammunitiorp aga inst him in the
canvass for the general elections In
every way in which it cao be made
effective.
Ift.se allegations were untrue, either
Sir Charles Dixie, Mrs. Ora vford or her
huf band would have ample grounds
for proceedings, both.crimfnnl and civil,
against the publisher. Tho e]ec-
tiun agent who has pablishef the PAM
phlet pleads truth md justification.
He sayH shAs, firstly the chArg ssare true
andsecondly. il II night aud desirable
thatthsy should be msde known, for the
culprit is seeking the suffrages Of his
fellow-men to secure his returns
to public post Of honor and
a right to know the fAnd OF man for
whom they are asked to vote.
1t 10 possible, however, that the.
agent rslies more upon the probable
unwillingness Of Sir Charles to ada
publicity to the scandal. than upen this
technical.defense. In Chelsea the great
majority of the population had hitherto
been in total ignorance Of the scandal
and its revelation has caused a sensa-
tion Of the most painful kind.

4 horrible vice.
RIEL'S CASE IN As1GLAND.
LONDON, August 2.-The news o.
] the conviction and sentence to death OF
Louis Riel, the Canadian IL surgent, has
had . grave effect upon thoughtful
adding another possible complication
IN foreign affairs to the trouble with
which the Tory Govesnm ent is already
harassed. Many colnmns have been
written here rs to the public action of
the French CauadianA IN the event of
the execution of RieL.
/, OF course this daring halfbreed has
] amply earned his fate, and the proceed
ings against him, which involved the
! orushing of his rehellion In the field
and his death sentence in the court,
were perfectly legal, proper and un-
avoidable but he undoubtedly COM
Q mands the enthasiastic sym pathy of q
I large body of almost alien residents of
Canada and the peculiar character,
:. traditions and instincts Of these people,
: whO are half French and half British
in their sentiments of allegiance, must
be taken into account in any statesman
I like view of the situation.
i 1t is generally hoped here that the
Canadian officials will consider the

secured by Riel's permanent imprison

aud that it is better to avoid complica-
tions just now if possible.
