male child While tho jury at Regina was
viewing the body, locks Of hair were cut
from the head and beard, buttons we're de-
tached from the clothing, and the suspenders
were being cut up as relics when officers inter-
fered. Jackson, Riels lieutenant throughout
the rebellion in the Northwest Territory, was
found insane by a jury and sent to an asylum.
He has now escaped and is thought to have
reached the United States.

At the meeting of the National Base
Ball League at New York it was decided to hold
the next annual convention in Chicago. Brou-
theirs, White, Rowe, and Richardson were per-
mitted to play in Detroit, but on the ST. Louis
clubs petition that it be permitted to play

The body of Louis Riel was taken
from the police barracks at Regina and buried
beneath the Church of the Immaculate Con-
cepton, Pere Andre reading the funeral ser
vice. guard had been employed to watch

Business failures throughout the
country for the week were 24O, as against 223
for the week previous, OF the total of 240, %
were in Canada. BrddStreet'S Journal says of
the trade outlook:
The general trade situation shows less activ-
ity than was reported last week This is par
ticularly noticed in dry goods. The continuation
of moderate weather at the West and North has
seriously ntelfered with the distribution OF sea-
sonable fabrics. The regular fall trade is prac-
tically over, and orders received now are largely
of the reassortment variety. Eastern jobbers
complain of the delay in the arrival Of
steady cold weather Prices are firm
for all varieties except some lines
of shirtings, which have been shaded.
Wool is quiet and prices are firm, except for fine
ieeces, owing to the relatively decreased de-
mand. Low and medium grades are very
strong. Transactions are not expected to in
crease much so long as the outlook for the dis
position Of heavy goods is so uncertain. The
movement of grocery staples has been fair, with
lower prices on coffee. There is lie ~ activity in
pig and in manufactured irons. Prices of both
are firm, but there has been no advance, and
there is no likelihood Of any during the current
year.
Great earthquake waves were no.
ticed on the Pacific coast on the 2lst of No
vember. They were thirty-five minutes apart
and as heavy as those observed during the
great upheaval in Java some years ago.
