The Rebel RieI Execufad

Louis Riel, the leader in the half.
breed insurrcction against the Domin-
ion government in the Northwest Ter
ritory, was hanged at Regina on the
10th inst In his last hours he behaved
with GOODNESS and courage that COM
manded the respect and even admira-
ton of his eXecutioners. He WAS
hanged, it is said, not so much for his
leadership in the revolt as for partici-
patton in the killing of some of the
Queens subjects, which the authorities
called q slaughter, but to the last he
denied participation or completely in
that killing. After his conviction
strenuous efforts werc made to set
aside the verdict of the court which
convicted him, by an appeal to the
Privy Council, but this was refused.
Then an effort was made to procure
trom the GovcrnorGcncral commu-
tation of sentence, which was also
refused. The Canadian French took
much interest in his case, he being of
French parenta@c, and it was urged in
his behalf that he was insane. Three
physicians were selected to visit him
and make q test of his sanity. Two
out OF three were of opinion that he
was mentally unbalanced, while the
third refused to say that he was not.
But all this did not save him. The
edict for his execution went forth, and
the hangman obeyed it.

Prince Alexander aud his Buigarians Gain
"A Great Triumph.

Prince Alexander aud his Bulgarians Gain
"A Great Trlumph.
The latest news from the seat of
war In Europe shows complete
change i'm the aspect of affairs. The
prospects of Bulgaria, thanks to Prince
Alexander's bravery and generalship,
are as bright now as they Wero gloomy
recently. An official report states that
the Servians entered Bresnik on
Wednesday. The town had been
abandoned by the Bulgarians, who, in
their haste to get away, left eight guns
behind them. The capture of Bresnik
leaves that route open to Sofia. The
Bulgarian army of the Widden dis.
trict may be considered completely
destroyed and DISPERSED. The Bulga-
rians have carried every one of the
Serylan positionssswhich were menac-
ing Slivnitza. Prince Alexander led
the bulgarian columns in person. ~.
Later news confirms the tidings Of
the great victory won by Prince Alex
ander and his Bulgarians ut Widden.
Even the Servian dispatches freely
acknowledge the truth of the Bulgarian
account, although they first denied it
Prince Alexander, however, feels the
need of assistance, and has given up
his claim on Roumelia in order to
obtain aid from the Sultan.
Bullgaria is dcnuding the Turkish
frontier of troops and is sending all
her available forces to combat the
Servians. The public are allowed to
60 to the depots en- route to see their
relations and friends. Many of the
villagers tramp long distances and
wait at the depots several hours, and
III some instances whole days and
nights, to sec their friends and give
them flowers and presents. Prince
AleXander's success before Slivnitza
has revived the courage of those going
to the front, and they undergo extreme
hardships with remarkable fortitude.
In many cases they are compelled to
march long distances in bad weather,
and at night camp in open spaces
where they arc sheterless, not having
even ordinary tents to protect them
from the severity of tho weather.
