THE ROYAL TRooPS'To THE FRONT.
TORONTO, Ma oh 30.-Never in the his
tory OF Toronto has there been such in
tense excitement shown as there was
this morning. Orders had been given
to the troops to parade at 10 O'Clock in
heavy marching order, but long before
that time the people began TO assemble
around tho drill. shed, and very
shortly there was densely-packed
crowd extending from the shed along
West Market street TO King. Others
took up positions on the sidewalks on
King street, and by IL O'clock pedestri-
anism was impossible. Every upper
window along King street was filed
with ladies. In the drill-shed the men
were put through several movements
and addressed by their colonies. At
ll:30 the doors of the drill shed were
thrown open and the grenadiers' con-
tingent marched out, proceeding
band playing "The Girl l Lett Behind
Me-" the Queens Own following,
headed by bugle band. Immediately
on their appearance ringing cheers
went up from the crowd along the route
and the ladies waved their handkor-
chiefs. Along King street tho Widest
excitement prevailed, the cheer
ng being continuous. AT the
union station about 10000
people had assembled and many an eye
was dim with tears, and many, n silent
and fervent prayer was offered for the
country's call. AS the train slowly
moved out of the station tho people
grew wild with excitement, and cheer
upon cheer was given and responded to
by the troops. The contingent COM
prise 500 men from the Queens Own
the Grenadiers, and so from tho H.
fantry School corps.
1t is reported that the deputy adju-
tant-general received orders to call out
the remainder Of tho Queens Own and
the grenaGiers for service, The report
lacks confirmation, but it is generally
believed such an order will come short
ly. A movement is on foot here to get
40 young men who have means, courage
and are willing to undergo the hard
ships, to band together Tor guerrilla
warfare, and to bring in Riel, dead or
alive. They will go through tho United
States as civilians, and will procure an
outfit costing about $500 in Winnipeg.
They will style themselves the Toronto
Rangers.
TWO MORE COMPANIES.
HAMILTON, ONT, March 80. - Two
companies, of the Thirteenth Battalion,
have been ordered to be in readiness t.
proceed to the northwest.
AFRAID or THE FENIANS.
QUEBEC, March 30.-The feeling here
is that Riel has much deeper object in
view than the balf-breeds uprising; that
the present action is only for the pur-
pose OF drawing off the military to the
frontier TO allow the Feniaus, with
whome he is closely connected, wider
scope for operations.
THE INDIANS RISING.
WINNIPEG, March 30.--A Battleford
dispatch just received reports all the
Roundmaker's reserve on Saturday.
They are now about 500 strong,
encamped mile out Of town,
threatening to take the barracks and ali
the settlers and families in the barracks,
Every man is enrolled for services, The
indians threaten to burn the town.
They expected to come to day TO pow
WOW with the agent, which may be
made to last day or two.
