Treaty with the United States.

Il is reported that a treaty has been conclud-
ed between the governmental Bogota and the
minister of the United States in respect to the
security of the transit across the isthmuA.
This treaty is said to confer on the United
States government certain rights Of guardian
ship Of all transit either by rail or transit
across the isthmus, with special duties Of pro-
tecrion to be exercised in accordance with the
United States of Colombia. 1t is understood
that by this treaty the Columbian
and United States governments will
cooperate to maintain freedom of transit
against all obstruction or attempts to obstruct
It IN believed here that the joint control over
the transit route under this treaty will not
only authorize but make it the duty Of the
government to give all aid required in main
tanning the transit route for commerce, mail
and passengers. 1t has become known hero
that the robber, Preston, who burned Colon,
having made his escape, has since then seized
three steam vessels at Porto Bello, with the
help of which it is feared he may make trouble
unless the United States navy should capture

Gen. Grants Improvement Deceptive.

ten. GRANTS improvement Oocept1ves
DR.. Shrady, in the Medical Record of May 9,
says of the condition Of Gen. Grant: ssDuring
the past week Gen. Grants bodily health hos
much improved. His appetite is better and his
swallowing is not attended with much pain.
Locally his disease shows Il slight tendency to
progress. The sloughy exudation has disap
peared, exposing exuberant granulations in it's
place. This condition still involves the right
and posterior parts of the pharynx, the right
tonsilar region and the night side Of the base
ofthe tongue. The palatlal curhan is still con-
siderably infltratee, although all signs of
acute infanlmatory trouble have disap-
peared. AT the base Of the urula . small
fungoid excreseuce has developed, which is
extending. On the free margin of the palatal
curtain, midway between the urula and right
tonsilar region, similar growth of very small
size has also appeared. The liberation at the
base Of the right anterior faucal pillar, and
alongside Of the tongue, present a wormeaten
3urface, indicating an extension of the destruc-
tive process The enlarged glands under and
around the right angle of the lower jaw are
somewhat harder and quite firmly, fixed
There Is, however, less pain in tho deceased
parts than formerly. The patient obtains .
full nights sleep with a minimum amounts OF
morphine, and awakes in the morning feeling
much refreshed. Despite the favorable gener-
al condition, there have been unfortunately no
changes in the local disease to warrant any
modification Of the original diagnosis by the
members Of the medical staff. e. Il ,7S{

gloomy Northwestern Prophecies.

Indian Agent J. McRae of Battleford, who
was through the siege and was once in the
hands Of the Indians, bur escaped reached
Winnipeg recently he has been among the
Indians eighteen years. Ha takes . very
gloomy view OF the situation, and thinks the
Indians will soon be up in arms and that a
bloody Indian war is unavoidable. He says:
The Indians arc we'll armed and trained.
The government entirely undertakes the
strength Of the Indians and the seriousness OF
the situation. Indians with bows and arrows
will fight as we'll as our troops / think the
whole country will be aroused in no time and
all the tribes will be on the war path. Run

Of the worst Indians in the territories at Swift
Current, and other places as came along,
and believe they are along the Canadian Pacif

and would be most formidable enemies.
1t would take i've soldiers to match
every Indian. I do not consider that Factor
Mclean and the thirty five other white captives
have any chance OF escape. They may be
alive yet, but will be sure to be murdered at
the first battle that takes place in which Big
Bear is interested.
John Wilkinshaw and Albsrt Hardness, both
from Onterio, have been killed by Big Bears
band west of Battleford. Their wives and the
wives of the two missionaries are prisoners,
and are being frightfully maltreated.

The 0tter-Pouudmaker Battle,

WINNIPEG, Man, Special Telegram, May7.
Later and fuller dispatches received from
Battleford regarding the fight last Saturday
indicate that the result was not on favorable
for our troops as at first believed, and the
opinion is expressed by military men here that
Otter had to retreat on Battleford, fighting all
the way. From q comprehensive account re-
ceived, the following extract is taken:
The force reachedits destination at daybreak
at Cut Knife creek. Scouts were leading fol-
lowed by guns. We at once come upon the
tepees, and the Indians opened fire. The In
dams had laid atrap for us and were scattered
all around with half breeds among them. At
Che outset they charged and attempted to cap
ture the guns. They came within twenty yards
and were driven back by mounted
police. B battery and the Cat
ling opened fire, moving the enemy
down. The battle ragged fiercely, then wavered
tack again with stronger force. We were now
almost completely surrounded The Baltic
ford Rifles cleared the bush ana left our rear
open. For five hours the battle ragged. The
Indians we're subjected to CALLING fire, and
with the aid of the Gatlirgg gun and the two sew
en- Founders q whitening storm of shell was
poured into the brush. Orders were
given by Col. Otter to withdraw from
the advantageous position they occupied,
the enemy was comparatively safe from
fire. This movement was noticed by the In
dams, and an attempt made to cut of the re-
treat by number Of redskins massing them
selves on the loft flank Of the troops. Otter
finally succeeded in retiring from the field,
and fought his way as he retreated on Battle
ford. Many consider the result as unfortu-
themselves victors and they will assume the
aggressive. o.' " -

STOCKTON March Cd 1895


Mr.. EDITOR Il want to say few
words about the nuisance at our Depot,
and that is this. You will see in the
waiting room notice hung up against
the wall, viz: mo smoking or loafing
allowed" but what does the traveller be-
hold on entering it? Nine times out of
ten, he will find all the seats filed. BY
whom not by passengers waiting for the
train, but by smoking loafers, who fill
the place with clouds of smoke, and some
of them smoke plug tobacco, which adds
to the favour of the place, and as the
division over the ticket office between
the ladies' room and the mems room is
only slat work, they also have the benefit
of the smoke. We have seen as many as
ten to fifteen passengers (who had got
their tickets standing in the room while
the smokers and loafers occupied the
seats. This is not right. Some of these
people had come from one to three miles
aud no doubt chance to sit down few
moments would have been quite refresh
ing. But they all stand and wait until the
train arrives and then they all rush for
the platform, pell nell, the loafers ahead
and in the way of the passengers getting
to and from the cars. This nuisance is
on the increase, we would be glad to see
it abated. The R. r. officials can break
it up. A word to the wise is enough.
