OTTAWA, Nov. 6.
1t is stated today that Mr.. Thompson, min
lister of justice, has made q report to the
council on Riel's case, in which he had
adopted the views of Bishop Grand in that
the rebel leader should no be hanged but
should be incarcerated in lunatic asylum.
This report, if concurred in by the council,
would obviate the necessity of a medical
commission to investigate his mental con-

semi-officially stated that 1t has been decided
not to appoint commission to enquire into

MONTREAL'S TROUBLE.
Newspapers Create a Great Sensation in
Their Attacks Upon the Mayor.

New YORK. Nov. 6.
Montreal special to the Post says Mon.
treal is evidently on the eve of another riot.
The forcible removal of Gagnon's children to
the hospital by the mayor and sanitary off,
cials have evoked a show of Indignation from
the French papers. in which the Mayor is de-
scribed as murderer and revolutionary au-
tocrat. Says the La Monte: "You have no
heart. You have not got the right to NAL
treat those who have the honor of having
one. Your inhuman and barberous conduct
caused the death of brave Gagnon's child.
You are responsible for this death. Thurs
day, you triumphed over poor and courageous
GagnOn, for when you took his children and
wife, and when you have thrown him into
prison with one of his children, you are VIC
torions, but your injustices, your cruelties
and your barbarisms already cover you with
shame and disgrace"
The La Minerve goes further and invites
the populace to resist the officers. As re-
suit the Mayor has issued warrants for the
arrest of the editor OF the La Monte, and the
sub-editor of the La Monte on the charge of
personal and seditious libel.

cumulating Oh foreign shipping in the port
has caused great uneasiness in marine cir

swelling the idle feet. The strikers are
supreme masters of the situation, granting
permission to the railroads to run water
trains and keep their roads in good repair
but strictly prohibiting freight from entering
the city.

TROUBLE APPREHENDED


LITTLE Rock, Ark, Nov. 6.
Advices from Indian Territory say that
boomers have secured foothold in Oklahoma
and that it will take u. S. troops some time
to clear the country of them. Washington
authorities authorize expulsion of all persons
found in the Territory named without per-
mits. But as the intruders are scattered over
. wide scope of the country, difficulty will be
experienced in driving them out. There are
numbers of armed men and the possibility of
fight between the boomers and troops is by
no means remote. The statement is made
that the leaders desire to bring about con-
flict on the eve of the assembly Of Congress,
go that Congressional action may be had and
Gklahams be legally opened for settlement.
The Indians are reported As becoming rest
less under the situation, though they antici-
pate no outbreak.

DIED A PRISONER.
Death of a Murderer Caused by N entail
Depression.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 6.
Geo. w. Cheeves, confined in Fulton
county Jail, died Thursday afternoon, of de-
preston brought on by mental alteration.
Cheeves was editor of the Dawson Journal
and was college professor as we'll. On the
25th of October, 1884, he shot and killed
Capt. J. II. Pickett. Cheeves had promised
to support Picket for the legislature, but did
not. Pickett cut Cheeves' acquaintance.
This so worked upon the editors mind that
he procured a gun, sought out Pickett, and
shot him dead. He was then brought here
for a safe place. Two months ago it became
evident that his depression had developed
into disease and would kill him unless he was
relieved Then it was discovered that un-
der the law there was no officer who could
interfere.

was suffering from the disease the train was

evidently frightened the mother, for just after
leaving the yard, and while the train was
running at rate of six miles an hour, she
took the boy to the platform of the car and
