A Blood Guilty Government.

Winnipeg Free Press: Not far short of
half hundred men have already fallen in
the war which Canadians are waging against
Canadians, because of the crimes of Cana
dian government. Fort Carlton has been
burned aud its valuable stores destroyed.
Thousands of men called away from their
avocations, are or soon will be, under arms
in the Dominion. Heavy contracts for sup
plies have been let. The cost Of transport
ing these and the troops for service will be
enormous. Hundreds of thousands, perhaps
millions, Of dollars will have to be expended,
and no one can tell how many lives sacri-
feed before the rising on the Saskatchewan
can be put down. All this because we have
a reckIessly, indifferent, incapable an
corrupt government in charge of our affairs
But this is not all. To some of us it may
seem even the smallest part of our nisfor-
tunes The blow which this country has sus-
tanned is a stunning one so far as its present
prospects are concerned. The business men
of Winnipeg and of Manitoba will fully real
lie this before many weeks pass away. I'm
migration this season there will be none. 1t
is more than probable that years may pass
before confidence in our country, as place
for settlement. can again be restored.

Hard Shedding for the Troops.

Qu'Appelle Special: a heavy blizzard pre-
walls throughout the Qu'Appelle district and
it is showing and blowing in wild manner.
The Field tattery, who left Winnipeg on
Saturday morning, have arrived and are un
loading their guns. Gen Middleton inspected
the men and comphmented them highly on
their fine appearance. The transportation
service is being got into order rapidly under
the direction of Mr.. S. L. Bedson, who is in
charge of that part of the expedition. The
horses are being inspected and all the faulty
are thrown out. The service consists of
240 teams, divided into two divis-
ions-the first under J. Secretan and the
other under Thomas Lusted. These are
subdivided into sections of ten each. Mr..
Bedson is drilling the men into the way OF
forming zerchas at night. Two zerebas will
be formed. The farmers are focking to the
headquarters here with teams, and If the trip
lasts long no seeding will be done. Ten
dollars day is paid for teams, and every
one available is being pressed into service.
North of Qu'Appelle there is good sleighing.
The opinion is expressed that the wagons
sent from Winnipeg are useless and will de-
lay the journey on the plains. The snow is
very heavy, and if wagons are
taken on the trip not more Inan
fifteen miles will be made daily. The
police who went north lately took heavy
sleighs and made mail stations every night.
The mail contractors say the trip can be
made in ten days with sleighs, but it viii
take twice that long il wagons are used.
From present appearances it will be Thurs
day before the troops start northward. There
is great difficulty in getting the transport
ready. No move will likely be made until
the batteries, now on their way from
the East, via the Canadian Pacific
road, north of Lake Superior, arrive.
Matters north are anything but pleasant
At Hoodo the mail contractors stock of horse
feed has been drawn away to Batoche by the
insurgents. At Hum boldt there is large
stock of supplies. Freighters who have left
here during the last few weeks are congre-
gated there, afraid to go further, and waiting
for the arrival of the troops to protect them.
The police left supplies there, and applica-
ton has been made to Gen. Middleton TO
have an advance force sent north to protect,
pending the arrival Of the main body Of the
troops.

The st. Louis League Club.
Special to the Globe.


New YORK, April 1.-The following letter
received in this city to-day from a personal
friend of Mr.. Lucas at st. Louis explains the
future of the st. Louis League club. 1t says:
"Mr. Lucas found on his return
from New York after the league meet
ing that public sentiment was SO
outraged by the action Of the league in re-
fusiDg TO reinstate his black-listed players as
to make 1t impossible for Mr.. Lucas TO at
tempt 10 go in the league, and he therefore
resolved to make another effort to procure
the reinstatement Of his players. If he sue
ceeds he will 90 on, Of course, and
with great success, but If it is
refused him, he will have To abandon the
business or 20 into some other association.
His desire TO join in the league Is very great,
but 1t would simply be foolhardiness for him
TO try 1t, as he would lose thousands
OF dollars and gain the iIl-will Of his
large following Of friends. There are at
present number of representatives of large
clubs in the city, and from what can be
learned from them they are inclined TO
make dicker with Mr.. Lucas which
will end in three Of the players, Sbaf-
fer, Dunlap and Sweeney being, reinstated."
president Young has done some hard work
toward settlement" said the president OF
league club to-day, "and three Of the men
are as good as reinstated now. Everything
will be settled in few days.

Grant by Baltimore ladies, stands in cor
ner. On the walls are seen pictures, small
arms and pieces of old steel armor, and the
curtains are made of Persian material.
The book cases contain 5000 volumes.
The books were presented to the general by
Bostonians.
WHERE GRANT WORKS.
A large t. BILE covered with manuscripts,
scrap-books and newspaper clippings stands
in the center of the library. At this table
the old hero has written and revised his war
"reminiscences in a big, high-backed chair.
Here, too, he has sat and mused and chatted
during his illness.
The work on his book has been prosecuted
with great difficulty. The general is not a
ready writer, and loses much time in trying
to recall suitable words. Some time ago he
engaged stenographer, but the effort of die
tation caused so much pain that this plan
was soon abandoned. During the past two
months he has not been able to write more
than 500 words day.
There are four chambers on the floor
above. The two front ones are occupied by
general and Mrs. Grant. An immense brass
framed bedstead, heavily canopied, has sup
ported the distinguished invalid. The fun
ture is of mahogany, and'a large, heavy car
pet covers good portion of it.
Mrs. Grants boudoir is carpeted in heavy
Wilton, and the furniture and ornaments are
costly and unique. 1t contains an elegant
breakfast table. deep, luxurious couch and
little desk inlaid with a variety of wood,
and two beautiful bookcases. Mrs. Grants
sleeping apartment is finished in gold and
blue.

Extensive Fire in Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, April 1.-The Emery candle
factory, one of the largest institutions of the
kind in the country, was burned to-day.
The fire started in the eastern portion of the

WINNIPEG, Man., April 1.-Dispatches
from Battleford to-day show no improvement
in the situation there. A message received
by the Hudson Bay company from the agent
there, said: "The Indians have left the
town and gone in westerly direction. The
women in. the barracks are greatly relieved,
as it is felt that the Indians do not contem-
plate an attack upon them. Every precau-
ton has been taken to repulse the Indians
should they make an attack" j. Strong,
one of the men in the barracks, wires as
follows: ''With heavy attack our situation
would be critical" 1t is understood from
this that the Indians are not believed to have
gone far, and that the danger from an attack
is not yet over. A. Mcdonald, who has
brother in Battleford, proposed to
raise a volunteer company of hundred
and accompany Col. Hirschmer's force OF
mounted police to Battleford via Swift Cur
rent. He received dispatch this evening
from his brother to the effect that so small
a force would not be able to reach the
place, as the half-breds were expected from

not leave Regina yesterday as was expected,
but is reported to have started this afternoon.

say Gen. Middleton has ordered the troops
at that point to advance to Touchwood hills
tomorrow. The troops from the East will
reach Nepigeon to- morrow, and may get
here Friday night or Saturday morning.
They cannot arrive too soon, as at least all
the Indians along the Saskatchewan valley
are, or shortly will be. in arms. No news has
been received from Prince Albert, and it is
supposed the rebels are completely in con-
troll of all means of communication. gen.
tleman who arrived in the city yesterday
from Morris reports that half-breed named
Lariviere, living near that town, received a
letter from Riel about three weeks ago in
which Riel informed him that the present
rising was to take place: that he, the rebel
leader, warned Lariviere that he would either

An Old Friend, the Shepherd of Presbyter-
ian Flock, The Happy Man.
Special to the Globe.
PITTsBURG, April 1.-The congregation of
the Westield Presbyterian church, Mount
Jackson, near New Castle, Lawrence county,
learns that its pastor, the Rev. William NJ.
Taylor, is engaged to be married to the
widow of the late President Garfield. The
Rev. Mr.. Taylor is about so years old.
He is graduate of Washington
and Jefferson colleges also of the
Princeton Theological seminary. When Or
dained in the ministry he took charge of the
Westfeld congregation, where he has re-
mained ever since. Shortly after his install
lation he married Miss Packer of Hiram, o.,
whom he had met while on visit at the lat
ter place. Miss Packer was class-mate of
Mrs. Garfield, and they both attended
college at Hiram, graduating while President
Garfield was at the head of that institution.
After both had married they kept up their
friendly relations and exchanged letters as
long as Mrs. Taylor lived. By this means
Rev. Mr.. Taylor and Mrs. Garfield became
acquainted. In July, 1888, while on visit
to her parents at Hiram, Mrs. Taylor died
suddenly from heart disease. Mrs.
Garfield sent the bereaved husband
her sympathies on the sad OCCASION.
and they frequently met when Mr..
Taylor was on his way to and from Hiram.
The friendship thus established ripened
until it is now an open secret in the West
field flock that its shepherd is soon to marry
the widow of the late president. The rever-
end gentleman makes frequent visits to the
home of Mrs. Garfield, and the intimations
that the congregation have received indicate
that the event is to come off some time this
summer.
AN EMPHATIC DENIAL.

CLEVELAND, O., April IA rumor to the
effect that Mrs. Garfield is to shortly marry
Rev. Mr.. Taylor of Pennsylvania has been
widely published, and when first heard in
this city occasioned considerable surprise.
Mrs. Garfield has lived here quietly
since the death of her husband.
She purchased an elegant brick resi-
dence on Prospect street and soon
became identified with number of leading
charitable movements. Her children are
being educated at Eastern institutions, and
she is devoted to them, and is doing her best
to properly start them upon careers of useful
ness. Her friends are always welcome to
her home, but, as a matter of course, she
goes out but little. Grandma Garfield lives
with her. The friends of Mrs. Garfield
emphatically deny that she intends
to marry again. In conversation
with friend of Mrs. Garfield, a gentleman
whom she consults in matters of personal
and business nature, it was learned that
there was not atom of truth in the pub
lished reports. An effort was made to see
her, but she declined to be interviewed. The
rumor is declared to be brutal and. is disgust
ing to friends of the family.
