During their absence the prisoner kneeled in the box and prayed audihly and feryently. He had scarcely eaten anything for the pre- vious three days, and nothing at all yester- day.

Riel remained on his knees praying until the yer dict was announced, then jumped up looking pale but calm.

He asked that commission be appointed to try him; also 8 commission of doctors to see whether he is insane or not.

 The Archbishop of York Talks Out. LONDON, August 2.-The Archbishop of York addressed large audience of men this evening upon the subject of the revelations made by the Pall Mall Gazette. He de- nounced the apathy of members of Parlia- ment and others in official life whose voices should have been raised against the mon- strous evils from the first. There was evil l dently conspiracy among them to keep s. lent and allow the matter to die out. It would not die out. It must be stamped out. l It is not party question, but one which concerns the whole nation and it is the duty of every man to assist in suppressing this rampant horrible vice.
