As to Riel's Sanity.

REGINA, N.W.T., July 3O.-In the Riel

opened by Mr. Greenshields in an elo-
ouapt aud forcible address lie
dwelt at some length on the neg
lect of the government to attend TO
the grievances of the half-breedS and set
Iiers. but indicated that the chief line OF
defense would be to prove the prisoners IN
sanity. Father Andre of Prince Albert
was the first witness. He deposed that
the agitation for redress of grievances had
been carried on for some time before Riel
came in from Montana. Communications
were sent 10 the government giving the re-
suits of the meetings, but only evasive an
swerS were received. The witness was
asked if justice had been done the half
breeds, but the counsel for the crown OBJ
jected to the question and it
was overruled. Witness believed Riel
to be insane on religion and politics. Father
Faurmaud gave similar evidence. Phillip
Ganaud described Riels crazy doings with
regard to religion. He deemed the prisoner

Of the distinguishing characteristics was
that so long as the patient was not convicted
he appeared perfectly sane. A religious
fanaticism was also a feature of this kind
of lunacy. Dr. David Clark. of the Toronto
lunatic asylum, testified that in his opin-
ion the prisoner was of unsound mind. His
opinion was based chiefly on the evidence
of previous witnesses. DR.. Walike, of the

1t is announced that Reirs counsel have
practically given up fight and will rest the
entire defense upon the plea of insanity.
The eight witnesses for the crown examined
yesterday gave most direct testimony
against the prisoner. Twenty documents
introduced by the crown were in Riel's
handwriting, and all signed by him, direct

association roads in the same manner. If
the Milwaukee X st. Paul had decided to

Anew wheat Pest.

Special to the Globe
MILWAUKEE, July 3O.-James A. Bry-
den exhibited on Change this morning
sample of wheat which was infested by
new kind of insect. The grain was taken
from bin of the best Lake
Shore wheat in Mr.. Bryden's
warehouse. When viewed by the naked
eye it was scarcely disenable, being the
merest atom. When put under the rays of
a powerful magnifying glass, it was seen
to be an active midget, transpar-
ent in body and apparently germ
mated from the grain. Its industry was
shown by the samples of berry, which had
been reduced almost to dust through its
workings. Persons who viewed it said that
they had witnessed the same thing
before in wet or damaged wheat.
The bin in which these workers
have been discovered is, however, as
stated, selected wheat, being culled from
the choicest lots that have been sent in.
Further examination of the little worm
and the extent of its encroachments will be
made
