Washington Special: The scope of the
Catholic university in Washington is surpris-
ing as it becomes known The institution will
be called the American university. Its pro-
fessors will be sought in Europe, and none but
men of worldwide reputation will be offered
chairs. Bishop Ireland has had principal
charge thus far of the preliminary work of
selecting a site and drawing up the charter,
which will be asked of congress next winter,
says that in the choice of the faculty the mat
ter Of religion will have no part There will be
Q theological school, over which it is rumored
Bishop Spaulding of Chicago will preside.
There will also he schools for law, medicine,
science, history. philosophy and all the rare
and far advanced branches Of instruction known
rather to institutions on the continent than the
few that we call universities in America. The
men who will occupy chairs in these schools
will be selected without regard to religion. The
site chosen is the old Middleton estate east OF the
soldier's home and a partof that beautiful roll
ing plateau which is Westinghouse largest and
most beautiful park. 1t contains tfty-seven
acres. Near it is a pretty little station on the
Metropolitan branch OF the Baltimore & Po-
Bladensburg turnpike, which, by, a pleasant
drive Of two miles past Glenwood cemetery
and Eds ewood, the Did Chase estate, takes
one inta town. The building will be be-
gun early next year. The first structure
will not be the largest, but will cost $780,
600. Each student will be furnisheda suite Of
rooms fully furnished, and there will be .
club commons on the grounds where the
best board may be had. No student will be
admitted to the medical or law school
except upon a diploma from another school of
accredited standing. The work intended in
science, especially in chemistry, engineering
and abstract mathematics, will be abreast
with that done in the leading German uni
v~ersities. The endowment o i'll sight is
nearly 81, co., 00. The founders will not
be content with q support insufficient to pro-
duce an income Of from 100000 to $780,
600 3 year, which is the aggregate outgo for
any one Of the leading universities of England
and Germany, The salaries of the professors
will average from 5000 to $4,000, and there
will go with them the board and lodgings for
such as may desire to take up residence in the
university buildings. Early in the coming fall
o committee will be sent to Europe charged
with the duty of inviting scholars to chairs in
the faculty. and it is intended that the univer-
sity shall be set in operation as early in the
coming year as possible. Temporary buildings
and provisional apparatus will be secured for
the purpose.

The DAKOTA Muraeress.

Mrs. Dill, the murderess from Wahpeton,
Oak, sentenced to prison for life, spent q day
in St Paul. in charge of Sheriff Ink, on her way
to Sioux Falls psnitentiary. She is a very
pleasant looking lady, dressed in sable black,
and bearing on her face and in her eyes traces
of great suffering. Questioned by a reporter,
she said:
My home is in Berlin, and there / married
Mr.. Dill, who was worth some $4,000. He
WAS very cruel TO me, INT my parents, we'll
to-do people, were 10th to have me live with
him. SIX years ago he came to America,
leaving me at home; but a year later l started
to join him, against my parents commands.
We were located near Wahpeton, and for five
years my husband and stepson subjected me
to every cruelty imaginable. / was beaten and
maltreated, compelled to work in the fields,
and finally, in desperation and in fear of my
life, l shot my husband in self-defense. Any
woman in my place would have done the same
thing. | cannot help tho result of the trial,
and must accept it I have an uncle in Paris
who is a millionaire, but my relatives have
forsaken me,

Riel Sinking Responsibility.

A special from Batoche. relating the cap
ture Of Riel, says:
No praise is too high for the three brave
men who effected the capture. Many times
they have risked their lives since the rebellion
began, and this time ventured alone through
the country. Rel was found in the road q
little south of Batoche in company with three
men. Housie and armstrong brought him in
on foot, leaving their horses in the bush and
walking quietly. Few knew who he was when
he was brought into camp through the sentries.
His captors made right for Gen. Middleton's
tent where they delivered their charge safely.
Riel appeared unconcerncd, but begged not to

attention" When told that his books and
papers had been captured. he said: 81 am glad.
This will show that l am not the actual leader
of the rebellion. Ihaye been encouraged by
people of good standing at and around Prince
Albert, who invited me over from Montana. .
He spoke again of not being the head man in
the rebellion, and then commenced praying
and made a sign of the cross. He spends
most of his time talking in q wandering man
uer and prayinp.

Riel,s Eight Hand Man.

From a party who is well acquainted with
Gabriel Dumont, the following description OF
that parsonage is obtained: Dumont is about
forty years of age, and was born at Edmonton,
where he lived until he was sixteen years of
age, when his father, who was employed by
the Hudson Bay company to look after their
horses, retired from the company's service.
Dumont senior then traded with the Indians in
that section Of the country, extending from
Edmonton to the south branch of the
Saskatchewan. The son lived with his father
until a few years after confederation, and
then settled on the south branch of the Sas-
katchewan, where he has renamed continu-
ously ever since. He is one of the bravest of
men, fearless and %resolute in every undertake
ing, and the beau ideal Of a horseman. He is
five feet ten inches in height and a splendid
specimen of rugged manhood, and is known far
and wide ~ one of the most expert shots, and
has invariably been selected as leader on the
buffalo hunts. He has been married to a half
breed for many years, and has earned a conf
petence by his business prudence and tact.
He will not, it is thought, submit to capture,
but viii die fighting if his escape is cut OF.

Winnipeg Special: Chief Justice Waltbridge
was asked what course would be adopted in
regard to the trial of Riel. He replied that ac-
cording to law he would have to be tried in
the district or province where he was captured.
He could not be brought to Winnipeg or sent
to Ottawa. The dominion government might
issue a special commission and send up
judges to try him. Judges from here might
be sent, or special judges for the occasion ap-
pointed, but the trial would have to take
place in the province where Riel was captured.
Under the present act the judicial authorities
in the district where Riel was captured have
power to try q man for his life, but an appeal
to the Manitoba bench is provided. He could
not be tried by court martial under the cireum-
stances, as Gen. Middleton had promised in a
letter to Rel that he would be protected until
the dominion government decided on his case.

safeguard was TO keep it in bottle of water
