LONDON, Aug. 12.-The Pail Mall Ga
zette this afternoon says: A well-l1nown
gentleman, who was recently appointed a
member of the royal commission, was met
ON the staircase of his office on Indiana ave-
nue. and souudly 1Ogged by a gentleman
who publicly accused him of having Sc
duced his daughter. The thrashing was
preceded by a violent assault, the angry
father shaking the betrayer of his daughter
like terrier does a rat. The father then
logged him until the stick was broken,
when the byStanders interfered. A re-
porter OF the Gazette, Immediately after the
logging, interviewed the assailant. The
latter said: L shall fog the betrayer of
my child whenever he crosses my path. You
may publish my name, provided you publish
his. II he feels aggrieved he can take ac-
ton against ME. should be only too glad
to meet him in any way. l have no fear
that he will be plucky enough to face me
IN court. | have not done with him yet"
The reporter then called upon the man who
had received the thrashing and asked for
his side of the story. The gentleman said:
The story told you by my aSsailant is nom
sense. have not been flogged, The man
struck me with a stick and abused me. 1t
Is merely case of blackmail of peculiarly
bad kind. The statement that had be-
trayed the mans daughter is absolutely
false"

A Plea for RieE.

Special to the Globe.
OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 12.-Hon. William
McDOugall, who was appointed lieutenant
governor OF the Northwest previous to the
Red river rebellion, has written a letter to
the press on the cOnstitutionality of Riel'S
trial He saws: "AmOng the cOnstitu-
tiOnal questions which suggest themselves
to my mind as entitled to very grave con-
Sideration in dealing with the Saskatche-
wan outbreak is the following: Has the
Dominion parliament power under the
terms and conditions of the transfer of the
Northwest territory to Canada to create
criminal courts i'll that territory,
with jurisdiction to hear and to
Indictment by grand jury, in the manner
and form as required by the laws of En-
gland in all capital cases? With great defer
enee to the superior attachments of those
lawyers who have answered this question
in the affirmative, venture to express
decided opinion in the negative" After
quoting the condition on which the country
was accepted, he concludes, Can it be
pretended that the legal rights of the North
tern territory have been placed under the
protection of courts and competent juris-
diction by an act which subjects them to
trial and punishment for high treason by a
court consisting OF Stlpendlary magistrate
holding office during the pleasure of six
male persons selected by him? The COM
mon law of England secures to every person
charged with felony
THE RIGHT TO BE TRIED
by judge holding Office for life or during
good behavior and twelve jurors lawfully
impaneled, an indictment by grand jury,
of whom at least twelve must agree in the
finding, is the first step in the trial. This
common law is declared to be the birth right
of English subjects, who carry their laws
with them whenever they go into new
formed countries. In colonies formed by
conquest or ceSsion so much of
the old laws remained in force
as the cOnquerOrS may choose to
accept 1t will hardly be contended That
criminal laws of old France served in the
Northwest territory after the ceSsion of
17T3. or that British subjects, half-breedS
or others living there in 1850, lost their
birthright by transfer to Canada. Courts of
competent Jurisdiction were guaranteed to
inhabitants of the Northwest territory for
their protection by the word, order and
pledge of her majesty under sanction of an
act OF the imperial parliament. l venture
to predict that her majesty, through the jul
dicial committee of her privy council, will
interprete these words in their natural legal
British common law sense and meaning"

FIERCE FLAMES.
An Early Morning Blaze Destroy
ing Property i'm Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 12.-About 100 fire
broke out in the planning mill of the Sturte-
want Lumber company on the flats. Three
steamers responded to the alarm. and
by effective work succeeded in partially
subduing the flames. The fire broke out
afresh few minutes ago, however, and is
now burning furiously and spreading rap
idly. The dry house and many lumber piles
are in flames, and although four more
steamers have been called, it is not prob
able that the fire will soon be
Subdued. 1t will be impossible to get any
detail of the loss and insurance for some
time, as all is confusion about the scene of
the fire, but the loss will be very great. 1t
is supposed that the planning
mill was struck by lightning, a
thunder storm now being in
progress here. Twelve steamers are now
pouring water on the flames, which have
since spread to an adjoining lumber yard.
Their efforts, together with heavy fall of
rain, are, however, rapidly proving effect
i've. and it is now thought the loss will be
kept within 500, 900.

ALBANY. y. y. Aug. 12.-Those who
understand President ClevelandS plans say
ne will he in no hurry to return to Wash

NAV find it necessary to get back sooner.
He has purpOsely sought secluded, out

ing ANNOYANCE. the locality being distant
from railroads and accessible by only one
line of telegraph. His secretary has in

from the AdirOndackS this morning report

Ward. of Albany. have reached their DIES
tinatIon in the North woods, and have COM
menced their season of rest and recreation,
which. if nothing happens to interfere,
will continue for three or four weeks at

greatly feels the need Of rest. lie has been
0verworked and worried during the past
five months to such degree that he Is not
only tired out but much Disguised by the

he left Albany Monday, he said he felt
that he had escaped an experience worse

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 12.-There are a
number of the formerly reliable old Repub-
lican PrOhibitionists in this city, who hold
Indignation meetings now about every
evening and express themselves in bold
terms concerning the abuse which is being
heaped upon them by the breast-beaterS
and whipper-snappers, who have IN
dertaken the job of sending them
out of the party. They argue
the question from all reasonable
standpointS, and fail to see why they should
be made the objects of daily attack, simply
for the season that they have concluded that
the Republican party is no longer fit in
strument by which TO accomplish prohibit
ton and reform. They are charged with
being in league with the Democratic party
to accomplish a purpose, and in order to
silence them they are threatened with eX-
posture and a general ripping up Of one
George w. Calderwood, who formerly
worked the PprohibitiOnists of this
section for small amount Of
glue on the ground that he was
able to accomplish something for the cause.
One of these double-action politicians. who
has concluded to go
STRAIGHT FOR PROHIBITION
this time and leave the Republican party to
take care of itself, remarked last evening on
the relations of the parties to each other:
The Democratic party" he said, twas in
favor of license straight and opposed to pro
hibition, according to their declarations,
and the Republican party was opposed to
license, in favor of taxation and
neither for nor against prohibition.
The latter is opposed TO bath taxation and
license and consequently, if they were 10
accept the statement made in the letter of
Chairman Bushnell of the Republican COM
mittee, that they were neither for nor
against prohibition the natural course
would be in case they should not vote
their own ticket to vote that of the Re
publican. but they find themselves being
abused unnecessarily by the Republican
press for no apparent reason fur
ther than the fact that the
prohibition Republicans are this time
going to vote the straight prohibition ticket.
All this howl about DemOcratic-prohibi-
ton alliance is being
WORKED INDUsTRIoUSLY
at the present time in the Republican press
on the theory that those of the prohibition
lists who aided by their votes 10 keep the
g. 0. p. in power will still go i'm that direc-
ton if they can be made to believe
that there is such an alliance.
There is not, however, much lik-
lihOod that intelligent men will be
led to believe that there is any
alliance with party which is I'm favor of a
license and which has announced itself as
opposed to prohibition, while the Republi-
can chairman has not seen fit to admit so
much. But the whole affair resolves itself
into the fact that the Republicans are too
early in the field and the committee in or
der TO give satisfaction must make some
pretense of work and the Prohibitionists
are the only element in sight just now.
