RIEL'S REBELLION GAINING STRENGTH
AS IT GROWS.
The Ineficiency of the Canadian Militia.
An Old Friend of Riel Says The Govern
ment is to Blame-History of the
Causus Belli-1ndians Arming.

MONTREAL, March 3,.-A dispatch from
Medicine Hat says the Indians are on the
warpath. Citizens under Capt. Mcdonald
applied for arms and reinforcements and de-
termined to defend themselves The emf
grant sheds have been barricaded and pre-
pared for the reception of the women and
children. Col. Ouimet, commanding the
Sixty fifth, has been called to Ottawa. He
telegraphed the officer in command of the
regiment to be ready to march at a moments
notice. The telegram says the government
is in receipt of unfavorable news. The re-
bellion is increasing. The regiment is not in
fit condition to do any fighting, the ranks
being filed with the rawest kind of recruits,
who probably never fired shot in their
lives. The crisis has develoded the weakness
in the militia, whose equipment is inefficient
for active service. Mr.. Royl, who succeeded
Riel as member for Provenchies, and who in
fact is an intimate friend Of the rebel leader,
left for Ottawa to interview the government
and offer his services as intermediary. He
says the department Of the interior at OF
tawa is to blame for the trouble, and that it
was warned in October last that the half
breeds would rise as soon as favorable op-
Portunlty offered itself, unless their demands
received some kind OF recognition from the
government.
Being asked by representative Of the
American Press Association for statement
of the causes that led up to the present out
break: Mr.. Royl said:
eff you want the complete story we will
have to go back say two hundred years when
the Hudson bay company exercised supreme
authority over the Canadian Northwest.
During that time only one member of the
staff of the company was killed by the In
dians. The company wanted nothing but
furs from the Indians, and loud disputes
were unknown. In 1869, however, a change
came In that year the Canadian govern
ment bought the greater, part of the lands
owned by the Hudson bay company for
81 100000 With this purchase Of the lands
the Canadian government acquired all rights
and privileges which the Hudson bay COM
pany had previouly exercised, and soon after
the Northwest became part of the Cana

POSTAL ORDERS AND IssTRuoTIoNs.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-The post
master general has issued the follow
ing order relative to the renewal of
postmasters' bonds:
"That whenever any postmaster of
the fourth class shall have remained
in office for five years from the date of
the taking effect of his latest official
bond, he shall execute new bond in
matter and with sureties as required
by law upon notice from this depart
ment.n
The chief postoffice inspector to-day
addressed the following letter to a
postoifice inspector concerning the in
stitution of criminal proceedings for
violation of postal laws:
"Sir: L am in receipt OF yours of the
18th inst, the substance of which is a
request TO be informed as to what
course the department desired pursued
in cases where employees in the postal
service are found violating the law,
and more especially as to the proper
course to pursue where it is discov-
cred that postmasters are found to be
short in their accounts by reason of
the use of postal or money-order funds
for private purposes. In reply to this,
will say that your communication
has been submitted to the postmaster
general, who desires me to say that in
future where it is discovered
by inspectors that any postmaster
or other employee of the
postal department has violated the
law the facts must be communicate
to the United States district attorney
for the district in which the offense
was committed, with view to the i'm.
mediate prosecution Of the offender,
and in all cases the inspector shall be
guided by the advice of the district at
torney. Postmasters and others in
trusted with the monies of the depart
ment should give bond, or If they dc
not, they are unfit to hold any
position. To use the departments
funds for private purposes is, under
any circumstances, a criminal offense,
and in every instance when it is as.
certained the funds have been so used
prosecution should at once follow, and
all facts should be Immediately re.
ported with the view to the prompt re-
moval of the offender. 1t Is nc
part of the duty Of an inspector to de.
termine whether or not an offender
should be prosecuted; it is sufficient
for him TO know that an offense
against the postal laws has been com.
mitted, and his duty is clear, viz TIE
take the proper steps to bring the
offender to justice.'

COLORADO, TEX, May 22.--There is
a great deal of talk about the Texas &
Pacific railroad moving the turn-table
from here to Abilene, Tex, and run
the bob-tail train from Fort Worth to
Abilene instead of to this place az
heretofore. There will, of course. be n
petition gotten up by the business
men to Mr.. HoXie to interview the
proper authorities on the subject, as 1t
will be a great inconvenience should
they discontinue tS come to Colorado.
The Texas u Pacific railroad has al
ways Disseminated against this place
and worked in every way to down It
but there is too much wealth, energy
and vim, all of which will be brought
10 bear NJ the proper time. There
seems to be some animus ON account
of the Gulf, Colorado q Santa Fe rail-
road coming here. Notwithstanding
that Colorado has many difficulties Co
overcome she still blooms like the
morning rose.
The county assessors books will
show that Mitchell county can show
up 100000 worth OF stock, ETC., and,
furthermore, all come forward and pay
up promptly. Capitalists who come
here all say positively that this city
has more brick buildings and fiue res.
licences than any city west OF Fort

at reasonable rates of interest to loan
