MAKING READY FOR RIELS TRIAL.
OTTAWA, June 16.-The crown coun>
sells, who are to conduct the prosecu-
ton in the case, of the government
against Riel, are here receiving in
structions, and up to the present time
the date of the trial has not been
fixed. 1t is understood that the de-
fence will first attempt to prove Riel's
American citizenship. This proven,
his counsel will show that he can only
be tried for waging war against for
eign country.
The trial would then have to be
under court martial, but as the mar
ial law was not proclaimed in the
dominion, the trial could not be CON
Quoted in this way, and would have
to be abandoned. If tried as a Cana
dian citizen, the charge must be high
treason, and as three of the jurors are
to be half breeds the jury would disa-
gree. This would involve a new trial
when the same difficulty would un-
doubtedly be encountered.

Gen. S. B. Buckner is a candidate
for Governor in the sense that he
would accept the nomination if offer
ed him, buthe will not electiOneer for
the office by travelling around from
county to county. He considers it be-
meath the dignity of the position, and
he belongs to that school Of pOliti-

who wants an Office must get up very

ST, LOUIS, June 2.-R. NJ. Reynolds,
late first auditor of the U. S. Treasu-
ry, killed himself this morning at the
Southern Hotel. There is an air.
shaft in the hotel over the rotunda,
which cuts through the different
floors. AT five minutes to 6, Reynolds
either jumped or fell over the railing
on the third story into the air-shaft.
lie struck the marble floor of the TO-
tunda with report heard all over
the hotel. lie was picked up quite
dead, in front of the clerks Office.
His head was fractured and one of
his legs shattered. A visit made to
Reynolds room disclosed the fact
that it was full Of gas, although the
stop-cock was turned hence, the the
DRY is held in the hotel that it must
be suicide, and that after the failure
to asphyXiate himself he took the
terrible dive to the marble floor be-
low. Reynolds had made a careful
toilet in the morning. He has been
in st. LOUIS since Saturday stopping
with Mr.. c. II. Albers, but he left that
gentlcmans house and put up at the
hotel last night. lie was in excellent
spirits when last seen alive and no
motive can be suggested for sclf-kill-
ing. He was on his way to Kansas
t. buy land. lie left the United
States Treasury only couple Of
weeks ago. He was about 60years of
age and fine looking, healthy man.
The friends in this city of ex-First
Auditor Reynolds do not think that
he committed suicide. They say that
he was subject to attacks Of vertigo,
and suffered intensely from other
maladies, and assume that his mind
was effected when he fell through
the air-shaft in the Southern Hotel at
st. Louis. lie was in comfortable
circumstances, so that the loss of his
Office could not be supposed to have
driven him to self-destruction.

FOREIGN NEWS.
Earthquakes RI Cashmere,

LONDON, June 2.-Di,patches from
Bombay state that news has just
reached there Of disastrous earth
quake in Cashmere, a country OF In
dia. The seismic shocks began on
Sunday and have continued NJ IN
eivals of ten minutes ever since.
Shocks were very severe at Serinagar,
Inc capital Of Cashmere. The bar
racks, IN which several hundred We're
quarlered, was completely destroyed,
collapsing SO suddenly that nearly
half Tue men were imprisoned in the
debris. Fifty are known TO have
been killed, while fully Il hundred
were more or less injured.
a portion of the city has been de-
mollshed while very few OF the re-
naming buildings escaped injury,
many having large rents made in
them. The people became panic
stricken shortly after the disturbances
began and llrd from Inc city, taking
refuge ia boats aud in cents in the
.olcn fields. The total number OF
tiilel and wounded ; uOtyet known,
northe full extent of the damage
done, owing 10 the interruption OF
the working Of the telegraph wires.
Ii is feared that The Jos, of life will
be heavy, as The latest Information
from there calls for help, saving that
hundreds OF animals have been killed
and the distress among the people is
very great.
The terrified Inhabitants are now
camped in the fields that surround
the town. Serinagar is in the centre
Of the vale of Cashmere, and the
whole territory experienced the ter
rible earthquake shocks. The dam
age caused throughout the vale is
enormous. The loss in cattle alone
is very great. The aflrighted people
seem to be utterly helpless and succor
is being sent them as rapidly as the
Indian authorities can oilord relief
Many Of the houses, Oh account OF
the large rents in the walls must be
RACED TO the ground.
The shocks have not yet ceased and
this fact greatly retards the work OF
rescuing the people pinned down in
the debris, and it is feared that many
of them must perish before they can
be reached by the reliefparties.
The MOhammedan mosque in the
little town of Sapur, twenty mile.
north of Serinagar, was demolished
and 200 persons were killed.
AROUND CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA.
