THE REBELLION In CANADA.
The Battleford People Want Assistance-De-
tails Of the Fight at Fort Pitt.

WINNIPEG, Man, April pa Battleford dis
patch to the Free Press says: "There are no
signs of troops yet, and the delay to the impris-
oned people here seems inexplicable. The re-
port of the Frog lake massacre is confirmed by
the Fort Pitt garrison, who have arrived They
state that Mrs. Gowanloch was not killed.
The priests were beaten to death and burned.
The Indians burned all building at Frog
lake ard compelled the people to
attend church, victims and murderers going in
together After service the Indians shot ZEN of
the helpless whites. The guard fired on some
Indians, night before last, at Battle river cross
ing. The Pitt garrison which has reached here,
gives the first definite intelligence we have re-
ceived of the fight at that place.
They state that the Indians made
demonstration against the fort, and that
Factor Mclean, becoming alarmed, visited
Big Bear's camp, and had q conference with that
chief, from whom he claimed protection. The
chief compelled him to write letter to the
civilians telling them to come in or be killed,
and to the police to surrender their arms and
leave. The civilians complied with the request
and went into Big Bears camp but the police
refused to surrender their arms, and fight
ensued. The police drove the Indians back,
killing four and wounding several Policeman
Cowan was killed and Lonsby was wounded. The
policemen then fitted up scow, with
which they reached Battleford They were
not followed Before leaving they destroyed all
the arms and ammunition they could not carry.
Factor McLeans timidity embarrassed the police
and proved fatal to the liberty Of over twenty
five whites-men, women and children. The
wounded policeman is recovering. 1t is feared
that young Quinn, a scout, is in the hands of the
Indians. Frank Swart, a merchant, was shot
and killed by Indians while performing patrol
duty last night. There was general raid on
the town. and the Indians congregated about the
place. Considerable firing took place.

A Street Railway Man Seriously Injured

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 23.-Robert Giham
chief engineer and manager of the new cable
street railway which is about to be opened, was
dangerously hurt this afternoon. While an iron
grip, weighing over 800 pounds was being placed
in position in one of the cars, it was allowed
accidentally, to slip, and, falling distance of
two feet, struck Mr.. Gilham, who was under
meath the platform on the head, fracturing his
skull. The wound though not necessarily fatal
is serious one. Mr.. Gilham has been one of
the leading spirits in this enterprise, and also in
the proposed elevated road between this city and
Wyandotte. He is comparatively young man.
and member of well known family in Hack
ensack, N. J.
At midnight Mr.. Gilham was resting as com
fortably as could be expected. A surgical ope-
ration was performed. and about four inches of
the bone, for space of an inch in width, was
removed. The wound is on the right side of
the head, and if Inflammation can be prevented
the physicians have hopes of the patients re-
coYerY.

New YORK, April 23-Captain John O'Brien,
of the steamer City of Mexico, was arrested by
United States deputy marshal, this afternoon,
on charge of violating section $3.50 of the stat
utes by supplying arms and munitions of war
to the insurgents of country at peace with this
government. The vessel was also seized. She
was chartered in March last to carry lumber to
Boca di Torro, in the United States of Colon
bia, and her manifest called for lum-
Der, but in reality she carried, as is
charged, firearms. At Saborialla, a port
held by the rebels she took aboard $50 in
surgents. and proceeded to Rio Hotchos. Here
the captain of the port, taking the City of Mex
leo to be an American vessel, put out to her, and

said portion of the cargo was discharged. The
first mate of the steamer was Captain Nc
Murtha, who figured on the Mary N. Hogan, in

Pittsburg Landing, and censured General Grant
for the disasters of the first day. General
Grants friends charged the disasters of the first
day on General Buell's delay, and said they could
have won the victory without him. Under all
the circumstances, probably message has
reached General Grant during his entire illness
more touching or significant than the brief letter
we are permitted to publish below. 1t was
placed in Mrs. Grants hands at time when
the General was thought to be at tho point of
death, too weak even to read letter or have it
read to him. Mrs. Grant. however, expressed
at once her thanks to General Fry for sending
it and to General Buell. for his kind sympa
thy.
General Buell wrote from his home in Ken
lucky as follows:
'AIRDRIE March 10, 1885,
''To Gen. J. B. Fry, city of New York:
my Dear General have read with much pain the
account which you sent of the alarming state of
Grants health had seen the first reports contra
dicted and hoped that they unfounded, and
shall still hope that the danger is not great the
account supposes. If you deem the occasion proper
will thank you TO convey to Mrs. Grant and to him
the expression of my sincere sympathy. Very sin
ce-ely YOURS. ID. c.. BUELL."

A Defense of the Doctors.

NEW YORK, April 23.-The following extracts
are taken from advance sheets of the Medical
Record Of April %, on the condition of General
Grant:
'sThe physical condition of General Grant has
markedly improved during the past week. There
is no authority for the statement that his physi
clans at any time pronosticated speedy death, or
did not give the most encouraging reports of the
patients progress 1t is charged that the physi-
clans were suppressng all refrence to graver
symptoms The bulletins which have been is
sued at the request of the family Of General
Grant, and in answer to the incessant demands
of the press, have been simply bare statements
of the exact conditions at the time without any
theories or comments. The medical staff has
always maintained that the amount of the Gen
erals constitutional depression was out of all
proportion to the extent of the local
disease; that the later of itself,
would not be the cause of DEATH unless
by the accidental erosion of large artery, or
possible strangulation from the sudden separa-
tion of the slough At one time only did death
seem imminent from general exhaustion and
threatened heart failure, and but for timely as
sistance would probably have occurred. The
General has never been in danger from choking,
and the only hemorrhage which occurred was of
a slight extent and ceased of itself. General
Grant is row stronger and his physicians
neither dumfounded nor surprised. 1t was
as might have been expected, and
all treatment has been directed to
that end The slough has nearly en-
tirely separated from the throat, aud far
source of immediate danger has been removed;
but the throat disease is still there. although,
Dor the present, it is apparently quiescent There
is certainly nothing in all this to prove error in
diagnosis or prognosis, nor has there been the
slightest disagreement in regard to the manage
ment of the case"

The Demand for Confederate BONDS.

CHARLESTON, s. c., April 23-The News and
Courier explains the mystery of the confederate
bond craze, as follows:
'Judah p. Benjamin, Secretary of State of the
Confederacy from 1862 until its collapse, was the
originator of the plan by which demand was
created for the bonds. At different times the
Confederate Congress voted large sums for secret
service, the principal deposits being in London
and Paris banks The funds were placed to the
credit of citizens of Great Britain and France
who were friendly to the South. At the close of
the war there was an unexpended balance of
S., ,0S0, 600. Mr.. Benjamin consulted with these
agents as to the disposition of the money, and it
was agreed that it should not be surrendered
The question was then how to dsburse the
money so as to benefit those entitled to it. It
was concluded that the people who had given
their means to the Confederacy for its bonds

Mistakes in Diagnosing Cancer.

New York Special.
An eminent physician Of this city, who, for OBJ
vious reasons, prefers not to have his name men
toned, said to-day: '"There are several facts in
General Grants case that are hard to reconcile
with the theory of cancer The histology of
cancer has developed several new theories in the
last thirty years, and experience has proved that
there is risk of grave mistake in basing def
mite diagnosis of the disease on microscopic
examination. Not only was this mistake made
in General Grants case but the examination
with the microscope was intrusted to a man who
had not established reputation as specialist
in that line There are conditions of the tissues,
especially in the locality of General Grants
disease, in which microscope would fail to con-
yey the desired information. The fact alone of
the Generals recuperation at this stage is strong
ly against any belief that his trouble is epithe-
lioma, to use the physicians word, which means
nothing more or less than cancer.
From the nature of the surrounding tissues
cancer in that locality is progressive disease.
There is necessarily rapidty of infiltration.
The cancerous elements invade the neighboring
tissues, spreading much faster than on the lips
or tongue. which are the usual seats of cancer IN
the mouth, especially when it is caused or agra
waited by excessive smoking. A feature in the
progress of the Generals disease has been the
CodL anu dCCuuuldtlOu Ol mdGLcr. IHlS lS dli-
other fact that is against the theory of the ply
sicians. If it were true that so much matter and
blood had accumulated as has been reported, this
would still more strongly prove that if the dis
turbance was cancer it was of rapidly
progressive nature, and his present recupera-
ton would :. be marvellous and something
never known before in the history of cancer
in that locality. This recuperation, on the other
hand, is entirely in harmony with a less danger
Gus form Of liberation, which would gain relief
by discharge. The large space now covered by
the disease is also more in accord with the hy-
pothesis that it is not cancer.
There have been singular mistakes in the dag
nosis of cancerous alterations. Fifteen years
ago Queen Victoria was suffering from tumor of
the breast. The disease spread, and the Queen
very much reduced in health. There was
cohactic appearance, and the glands in the arm
pits sympathized and enlarged, so that every
reason existed, barring the microscopic examina-
ton, which was never made to substantiate the
belief that it was cancer. The subsequent his
tory of the case. however, proved that it was not
Doctors cannot be blamed for being in doubt in
these cases, but they make mistake in being
too positive"

COUGHS BOOMERS.
Collapse of the Movement to Secure Pos.
session Of the Oklahoma Indian Lands

ARKANSAS CRY, Kan, April 23-The Oklaho-
present attempt to reach Oklahoma is concerned,
and the boomers have decided to go home and
await further action on the part of the govern
ment When Captain Couch, their leader, went
to Washington, two weeks ago, to personally
state his case to Secretary Lamar, there were
some few who believed that favorable action
would be had, but when Secretary Lamar told
Couch that he and his men must keep out of
Oklahoma and that the cattle men must 60 out
also, the colonists accepted the situation for the
time being Captain Couch, who came back
from Washington on Monday was joined here
last night by Sidney Clark who has been rep
resenting the boomer interest in Washington for
several months. Late in the evening consul
tation was held with special committee of ten
of the boomer leaders as to what should now be
DONE One or two hot-heads among the boom
ers were for literally ignoring the wishes and de-
cision Of the Secretary or the President. The
consultation lasted late into the night, and final
ly report was arrived at There was good
deal OF bitterness displayed, and an attempt was
made to defeat the report prepared Dy the spe-
cial committee, but it was finally adopted 1t
reads as follows:
Whereas The members of Paynes Oklahoma colony
have received the report of Captain Couch General
Weaver and Sidney Clark who represented situa-
ton and views to the President of the United States
OF America and to the Secretary of the Interior and
solicited favorable action in our behalf; and
Whereas. Assurance has been given US, throughout
delegates that the question at issue relating to Okla
homa will be speedily settled by removing the cattle
syndicate from the whole territory in dispute, incud-
ing the occupancy of the surrounding Indian
tions under the illegal leases preparatory to insttut
ing negotiations to open the country to homestead
settlement provided by the recent act of Congress-
therefore
Resolved That in order to aid the national admin
Istration to carry out the aforesaid in good
faith and to solve the problem of the settlement of
Oklahoma as practicable, deem it advisable
to wait for reasonable time for the contemplated
ton.
Resolved That the headquarters of the colony shall
remain at Arkansas City, Kas, until suitable
place be secured by the officers of the said colony.
Immediately after the meeting preparations
for removal began, and it is thought that within
forty eight hours at least two-thirds of the col
onists, who have been waiting here for weeks,
will have departed The men accept the situa-
ton quietly, but say they will be ready to again
take the field whenever Captain Couch calls upon
them,
