Lees numbers were almost exactly equal
to those confronting him, and his losses, on
account of his being the assailant, were con-

1t is impossible to make any satisfactory
comparison with the losses at Antietam and
fredericksburg, because in neither of these
was the entire Army of the Potomac en-
gagged. At Antietam the First Second,
Ninth, and Twelfth Corps did nearly the
whole of the fighting and lost 20 per cent,
or one-fifth of those engaged. AT Freder-

the fighting suffered losses which make

The National tribune., 1885-07-23
COMPARATIVE LOSSES.

To THE EDITOR: The writer has heard it asserted
that 40 per cent. of the men engaged at Waterloo
killed, and has taken il himself to deny it.
Being asked for authority ask you for the total
number of men in each army, and how many were
killed. wounded and missing. Surely there is q
way of learning the truth. II seems ridiculous to
claim that 40 per cent. were killed. 1 also claim
that the percentage of loss at Gettysburg and
Chickamauga greater than at Waterloo. If
not too much trouble, would like to know the
percentage of loss to side at the battles of An
tietam and Fredericksburg. Your answer through
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE will oblige an old soldier.
JOS Monk, 4s Lake street. Chicago, Ill.
Of course your opponent is badly in the
wrong In no battle ever fought did either
side sustain such loss as 40 per cent. of its
fighting strength killed.

That is, less than 4 per cent of those that
Wellington commanded were killed, and
about II per cent. wounded, making the
total number of men struck about Is per
cent, or nearly one man in seven.
Blucher's loss, in killed, wounded, and
missing, was 6,775, making the total loss of
the allies 81 ,5O3
The French loss has never been accurately
determined. After the final charge by the
allies, about s p. M, the French army went
utterly to pieces, and lost terribly in the
savage pursuit by the relentless Blucher.
1t is believed that in all 10000 Frenchmen
were killed, wounded, or captured.
Our correspondent wants comparison of
the losses at Waterloo with those of Gettys-
burg, Fredericksburg, Antietam, and Chicka-
manga.
We can only make the comparison with
the Union losses, as all accounts of rebel
losses are so confused by gross inaccuracies,
absence of carefully made reports, Boosting
and willful lying, as to be of very little
value.

found he had been dead several hours.

which never before occurred. 1t was an

The Trade Relations Between the Two
Countries.
OTTAWA, Ont, April 12.-In the House
of Commons yesterday, on motion to go
into a committee on supply, Mr.. Davis of
Prince Edwards Island called attention
to the trade relations of the Dominion
with the United States. He quoted a
statement of Sir John McDonald's that
the Canadian government intended to
take no further action in the matter and
that the United States government must
take the initiative. He hoped that the
"fly on the Wheel policy would not be
continued. He believed that public SEN
timent in the United States was in favor
of renewal of reciprocity. Even the
fish bureau of Massachusetts had declared
itself not averse to reciprocity. The adj
advent of Democratic administration in
the United States had improved the OPP
portunity for opening negotiations, The
question was one of vital Importance to
the maritime provinces. He read the res
Olutions passed by the Halifax and St.
John boards of trade urging the govern
ment to take steps at once to secure re-
ciprocal trade relations with the United
States and West Indies.

THE NORTHWEST REVOLT.


Agent, Cameron, Unknown-A Woman
Taken Prisoner-Cowboys Ready to
Join the Government Forces.
OTTAWA, April lO,-The government has
received n telegram from Fort Pitt, stating
that the Cree Indians have murdered nine
settlers at Frog Lake, about forty miles
north of Fort Pitt The Indians have
marched on to the Fort, where there are
twenty-five mounted police. 1t is feared
that the Fort will not hold out.
In the Commons this afternoon Sir John
A. Macdonald said he regretted he had to
announce the massacre at Frog Lake,
forty miles north of Fort Pitt. A tela-
gram had been received from Inspector
Dickens, commander of the mounted po-
lice at Fort Pitt, giving the names of
eight persons rs having been killed. One
woman was taken prisoner and carried off.
The fate of Cameron, the Hudson Bay
company's agent, is unknown. There
were thirteen families at Frog Lake and
q much larger number are thought to be
killed than that given.
WINNIPEG, April l0,-Later news from
Battleford says fourteen persons in all was
killed by Indians at Frog Lake. Battle
