An Indian Uprising Predicted.

not clearly understand the result OF the last
rising. Crowfoot and his band believe that
all the soldiers who went noftn from
Calgary were killed. They arrived at this
conclusion. because they did not return
from Fl. Pitt and Edmonton the way they
went but came down the Saskatchewan
and the lakes. They refuse to believe the
troops came down the river. Most of the
Indians are we'll armed and mounted and
have plenty of ammunition. At the recent
annual treaty payment Crowfoot advised
his tribe to save their money for the pur-
chase of ammunition. which they secure
across the line in Montana. The Blackfeet
Indians now have thousand ponies. Much
less has been said about Crowfoots loyalty,
but that has been secured by granting all his
demands. which are growing larger. Bands
which have crossed the boundary during
the last three months will return IN the
spring, and will prove disheartenlng eie-
ment 1t is now reported that all braves
have left their reserves around FIT. Pitt, Bat
tleford and Edmonton, leaving the squaWS
and children behind. This is regarded as a
very bad sign. Reports have arrived that
the Indians have driven off within the past
few DAYS thirty head of stock from farmers
near Medicine Hat. twenty-five lodges OF
Assnnibone Indians have left Red Pheas-
ants reserve on Blue river
AN ALLIANCE
has been made between verious tribes, all
of whom labor n Ter the same difficulties,
that is. want OF sustenance and provisions,
and Blackfeet. Bloods, PieganS, Sioux,
Assinaboines Crees and others who
have hitherto been most deter
mined enemiess. have joined together
and are preparing to destroy the
ranches in the districts south of the railroad
as soon as spring opens. They are also be-
ING reinforced by the Indians who crossed
the line into the United States early In the
year. and who are being driven across the
border by the Indian authorities on
the other side. These latter are well
armed and supplied with ammunition
and are able to supply the Canadian Indians
with what munitions of war they require.
1t is not likely that the rising will take the
shane of an organized resistance OF the all-
thority of the government. but will partake
more of the bread riot. The lndl-
ans have not enough to eat, and
they are determined TO obtain what they
want at the expense of the ranchers near
the base of the Rockies. They themselves
say there is plenty to eat there and plenty OF
opportunity to obtain it, There have already
been some raids made but the mounted p0-
lice authorities have done all in their
power to keep the truth from reaching the
public ear, but in Regina they are matters
of common conversation and well known.
Calgary people who are now here state that
the Indians make no secIet of their lnten-
tions to raid the ranches early next year.
RieI,s Execution Demanded.
TORONTO. Ont, Nov. I3.-The Sentinel,
the leading Orange paper, commenting on
the Riel case, saws:
Shall the atrocious injustice be committed
of permitting this artful rebel to go free,
while his dupes and tools, the unfortunate,
untutored and misled Indians are hanged for
the acts they regarded as praiseworthy and
heroic instead Of criminal The people of
Canada will require unequivocal answers to
those straightforward questions II Riel be
reprieved. and the only answer that can be
truthfully given is that the Frenchmen OF
Quebec rule in the Dominion parliament and
have vowed that not a hair OF RieFs head
shall be harmed. Was it to this end that our
gallant volunteers sprang to arms and laid
down their lives at their cOuntryS call.
Shall trencnneD VINO SylnpaJnEo With lue
rebels be permitted to undo their work? 1t
so let it be proclaimed that the rights and
liberties of Brtons in an English colony hang
only upon breath of an alien race. But
English Canadians will not longer suffer the
CALLING bondage, and the day may be not far
distant when the call TO arms will resound
throughout the dominion. Then our soldiers,
profting by the lesson of the past, must COM
plete work throughout the whole land only
begun in the Northwest.
TRYING TO SAVE REL.
MONTREAL, Nov. 13.-La Presse comes
out boldly in demanding the reprie2e of the
death penalty on Riel. 1t also announces
that Gironard DeSjandas and consul have
informed Sir John that if Riel is hanged
he must not look for their support in
future. It suggests that the whole of the
French Conservative members go in body
to Ottawa and do the same. 1t claims that
this is the trump card to save Riel and de-
feat the arrangements revenge and vindic-
tiVeneSS.
A DEPUTATION
of members of parliament to-day sought
an interview with Sir Hector Langevin at
St. Martins junction on the subject of the
Communication of Riers death sentence, but
he said he regretted he was unable to give
any information about the matter, stating
he was sworn to secrecy. and therefore
could not speak of it. A caucus of fully
twenty French Conservative members of
parliament was held to-day to take some
action in regard to the matter. After some
discussion it was decided to send message
to Premier Macdonald. stating they de-
clined to be held responsible before their
constituents for the hanging of Riel. a
further discussion then followed. during
which it transpired that SirHector Langevin,
al the interview. had intimated that Hon.
Mr.. Chapleau would give them explanations
on the subject this evening. and it was con-
seQuentlY determined to adjourn the meet
ing until the secretary of state had been
heard. 1t was subsequently arranged to
meet Mr.. Chapleau this evening. The re-
suit OF this interview is not known. 1t is
said that should the explanation of Chaplain
prove unsatisfactory it is proposed either to
send telegram or proceed to Ottawa in
body tomorrow morning and petition the
premier IN person.
RIELs FATE FoREsHADowED.
Special to the Globe.
TORONTO. Ont, Nov. 13.-The execution
of Riel on Monday next seems Enthusiastically
foreshadowed in the Mail here to-day.
This paper, which is the organ of the Do
minion government, makes the following
statement. which may be looked upon as a
direct declaration from Sir IOhn Macdonald
as to his determination in Riel's case. The
paper says:
the execution of Riel has been three times
postpoued-twce in order to permit his coun-
sci to appeal the case and last time because
certain formalities had not been complied
with at Regina. The government cinpot.
therefore, be accused of unnecessarily pro-
longing his suspense. On the contrary. it
can declare that it has afforded him fair
and patient trial and enabled his lawyers to
exhaust all the forms of the law and the con-
stitution in their efforts to save him from
