This estate amounts to the enormous sum
Of $500, 900. 600 in money and 400, 900
acres of land. The estate would have
been divided thirty-four years ago, but,

NAMED twenty-six years. The estate

The Date Of His Execution Fined
Angry Public Feeling in
Canada.



The Privy Council has dismissed the
appeal Of Louis Riel, the leader Of the
half breed instruction in Canada, against
the sentence of death passed upon him by
the Canadian courts.
In an interview to-day, Mr.. Fitzpatrick,
Riels Canadian counsel, said: 1t is i'm
possible to pretend that Riel was unfairly
tried. No doubt. at the time of the out
break in the Northwest, grievances existed
which have since been remedied. Riel COM
menced the agitation from purely political
motives. Many people still consider that
he rendered valuable services to the coun-
try. Doubtless the exc tement again in
duced in Riel mental alteration, rendering
him incapable of keeping the rebellion
within legal limits. On thescaffold Riel
will become martyr; in prison or in an
asylum he would be forgotten" In face Of
the conflicting medical evidence in Riep 8
case, Mr.. Fitzpatrick advocated the ap-
pointment by the Canadian Government Of
commission to again examine the pris-
oner.
The Daily Telegraph, commenting on
the case, says: "On the whole yester-
days judgment is so upheld by reason
and comes from a lawyer of such un-
oouDteu authority that IL may De assumed
to cover the justice of the case. The end
Of the chapter now rests with Canada.
Riel cannot complain if Canada, now mas
ter of the situation, exacts the last pen
alties."
Montreal dispatch.l
l.. o. David. President of the Riel De-
Tense Association, says that he has re-
ceived trustworthy information that it is the
Governments intention to carry the law
into effect againstu Riel. The feeling, he
says, among the French Canadians is in
tense, and with the smallpox and other
causes of race feeling, the slightest provo
cation might cause serious trouble. Per-
sonally he will take no further steps in the
matter, and believes the committee will
follow this course, holding the Govern
ment responsible. The Government Off
GERS here say that Riel will be hanged on
the 10th of November.
Winnipeg dispatch.l
Although the verdict of the Privy Coun-
Gil in the Riel case has not been q surprise
it has occasioned deep feeling among the
half-breeds and French in Winnipeg, who
now expect the rebel will be hanged. A
dispatch from Regina says Riel displayed
great agitation on receiving the news. He
fears the last hope is gone, and expressed
the private opinion that he would have to
meet the fate the recent sentence imposed.

President Cleveland will not, it is
said, recommend transfer of the entire In
dian service to the military authorities, but
while preserving the civil system as to the
immediate control, education, and civiiza-
ton of the Indians will bring in the expert
ence, integrity, and executive capacity of
the army officers 10 provide and distribute
food and supplies. This idea is substantially
that it is cheaper to feed and cloth the Indian
well than TO fight him.
Judge Maynard, Second Comptroller
of the Treasury, says that the Indian service
is in a very bad condition, and that it is his
intention TO reform IL. For this purpose
he has ordered suits TO be brought against
the bondsmcn of dozen or more Indian
agents.

[Centralia dll) special
The approaching death of Bob Toombs
inspires people to tell incidents of his pub
lie life and service. A story was told to
your correspondent too day which is worthy
of the public print One day, while Toombs
was in the rebel Cabinet, he drove up TO
Gen. Winders Office at Libby, and asked
TO see prisoner whom he named, and who
turned out to be a mere boy, who had en-
listed in New England regiment and was
captured and taken TO Libby. Toombs
was taken to the boy, and the two were left
alone together. No one knew what trans.
pired, but in day or two the prisoners
release was ordered, and he was sent home.
In former days Bob had formed fancy
for the girl who was now the soldier boys
mother. The tender memories Of the past
were not eliminated from the mind of the
arch rebel by the clash of war, and moth
er's appeal was not allowed to go unheard.
