Riel Must Die.

LONDON, October 22d-The Privy Coun-
Gil has dismissed the appeal of Louis Riel
against the sentence of death passed upon
him by the Canadian Courts. In an inter

be forgotten" In the face of conflicting
medical evidence in Rel's case, Fitzpatrick
advocated the appointment by the Canadi-
an Government Of 4 Commission to again
examine the prisoner.
