THE REL REVOLT.
General Middleton Resolves to Advances
without Awaiting Supplies.

General Middleton Resolves to Advances
Without Awaiting Supplies.
WINNIPEG, MAN, May 2.-General Mid.
dleton, fearing that delay in moving north
might enable the rebels to recover from
their defeat at Fish Creek and strengthen
their position at Batouche, has decided
to advance at once without waiting for
the arrival of the steamer with
hospital stores. A severe en- .agement
may be looked for shortly, as
the rebels will undoubtedly show fight
again. No reliance is placed in the re.
port that the rebels are short of ammuni-
ton, as large quantities were obtained
during the first raid on stores at Ducks
Lake and Batouche, since which time
arms and ammunition have been taken
from all white settlers.
The country around Batouche is most
favorable for the kind of warfare the In
dams and half-breeds indulge in, and the
latter, now finding their homes invaded,
will fight with will and determination
which none but those who know them
can realize. The troops, however, are bet
ter armed, and, assisted by big guns, will
probably dislodge them from their strong
holds.
A large number of arrests have been
made by the police at Prince Albert of
parties suspected of being disaffected
and in sympathy with the rebels, as a
precautionary measure

terry Rivalling That of st. Louis--The
Trunk shipped from Chicago.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, May 2.-The peculiar
odor arising from a small trunk at the
Union Depot yesterday, caused sus-
picion that something was wrong. When
it was taken from the Chicago train this
morning at 1880 O'Clock the baggagemen
noticed the strong smell emanating from
it, and it was left standing outside the
baggage-room all day. The trunk was
finally opened this evening by the depot
men, and was found to contain the body
of q man. The body was packed
in skillful way, being securely
tied before being placed in the trunk. a
rope placed around the neck, left arm
and body, just under the arms, was
wrapped tightly around the left leg, both
limbs being drawn up. The arms were
tied securely around the neck.
Word was sent to Flannery's under
taking rooms, and the body was ther
taken there. The train on which the
trunk arrived is known as ''No. s." and
left Chicago Thursday at :l5 p. m. The
trunk was checked from Chicago to Pitts.

was found a receipt for a m ney order for
$25, sent from Chicago February 25th,
and Contained the name of Phil

the remains at the depot and
at the undertaking rooms were of the
unanimous opinion that the man had been
killed in quarrel, and then packed in the
trunk and shipped, in order to cover up
the crime. The body was partly decom-
posed. Coroner Dressler said the man
had undoubtedly been dead several days.
telegram was sent to the Chief OF
Police at Chicago, to which a reply was
received saying that the check for the
trunk had been procured by three
Italians, but further than that, nothing

DANGEROUSLY INSANE.

Vicious Attack of a Maryland Woman Upon
Her Husband During Violent Fit of In
sanity.
BALTIMORE, Md, May 2.-Barney Call,
his wife and five children, have lived in
Canton for the past three years, earning
a livelihood by keeping a fancy goods
and grocery store. Recently, Mrs. Call
has shown unmistakable signs of insani-
ty, but it was not until Thursday night
that she was considered as a fit subject
for lunatic asylum. The family retired
about eleven O'Clock. At midnight
Mrs. Call arose and her husband, noticing
that she stared vacantly about the room,
asked her what the matter was. For an
swer she made sudden and savage at
tack upon him. Being very large wom-
an and much stronger than her husband,
she soon had him at her mercy. She
threw him upon the floor and seized b is
left ear with her teeth and tore
it in a dreadful manner. She
then fastened her teeth in
his breast and badly lacerated the flesh
Mr.. Calls face was scratched out of all
recognition, and when the neighbors, at
tracted by his screams, rushed in, the
blood was streaming from his wounds.
The frantic woman was overpowered,
and when she gazed confusadly at her
husband, the sight seemed to recall her
tottering reason, and she suffered herself
to be led into an adjoining room.
Early this morning she had another
spell. She imagined that her children
had been stolen away; and armed with
heavy billet of wood, she attacked three
police officers, who were near the house.
They finally succeeded in Handwriting
her. She was removed to Spring Grove
Insane Asylum last evening.

THE PUBLIC DEBT.

Monthly Statement of the Public Debt
Total Receipts of the Government TOT
Ten Months-The Actual Amount of Gold
and Silver In the Treasury Vaults.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2.-The pub
lie debt statement for April was pre-
pared at the Treasury Department yes
terday, in both the old and new forms.
Approved copies with all details will not,
to-day. According to the old form of
statement. the reduction in the public
debt during the month of April amount
ed to So, AGA, $685., while in the new form
the amount of reduction is placed
at S4,S37,339.71 This discrepancy
amounting to S627, 256.67, is due to the
fact that in the new form two items, ac-
crued and unpaid April interest ON Pa
cific Railroad bonds amounting to
$29s, 037.56, and the amount of increase
during the month in fractional and minor
coins, amounting to $329,219.ll are
treated-the first as liabilities, and the
latter as assets, unavailable for debt re-
duction.
In the old form, the available cash in
the Treasury is shown to be $155, SIG, 043,
and in the new form the net cash balance
in hand is placed at $685., 42l. The
difference here is accounted for by add
ing to the net cash balance, reported in
the new form $IO0,0O0,000 reserve held
for the redemption of United States
notes, regarded in the new form as a liza
bility, and about $32,000,000 fractional
silver and minor coin, treated in the new
form as assets unavailable for the reduc-
ton of the debt.
The Treasury now holds $165, 200, 900 in
gold and about. S1l0, 000,00 in silver for
gold and silver certificates outstanding,
against SIG, 100000 gold and Sll3, 100000
silver month ago.
Customs receipts for April were Sl4,-
64O,974, about half million less than
year ago; internal revenue receipts,
So, 290, 337, nearly million less than in
April, 1884.
The total receipts of the Government
from all sources for the ten months of
the current fiscal year amount in round
numbers to $26, 100000 against $685.
600, 900 for the corresponding ten months
of the preceding fiscal year; while the
expenditures for all purposes for the ten
months of the year foot up ST.
5000, against S2,1s0,000 for the
ten months of the preceding year. Com
pared with the corresponding ten months
of the preceding fiscal year, there has
been falling off in customs revenue this
year amounting to about $14,000,0G0, and
in internal revenue receipts of nearly
$1,000, 900.

pension application of Mrs. Emma De

The Commissioner holds that the
officers and men who were on the Jean
nette expedition were in the service
of the United States, and that the order of
the Secretary of the Navy detailing De-
Long to special duty at New York, and
then to the command of the Jeanette,
changed his status from ''absent on leave"
to that of ''active duty," and therefore en-
titles his widow to pension.
