NO DEMONSTRATION.
MONTREAL. Que, Nov. 19.-The stu
dents of McGill university have decided not
to participate in any demonstration growing
out of the execution of Riel. A dispatch
from Terre Boune says that town is in a
state of stupor. Stores are closed and Grape
hangs on every door. l.. o. Davids stated
to-day that he would not work IN the direc-
ton of having Riel's remains conveyed to
Montreal. The consequence of such a
movement might prove very injurious TO the
French Canadians. The chief of police has
written the La Vale and Victoria univer-
sites authorities notifying them that further
demonstrations by the students must be
prevented.
L'Etendard this evening proposes the for
nation of a committee on national
claims" to be composed of the most dis
tinguished men in the province, said COM
mittee to be divided into four sub-commit-
tees, the first to be charged with eXamin-
ing the legal questions involved in the
Northwest troubles, the second with eX-
aiming into what was the mental condi-
ton of Rel the third to raising means to
suecor the families of the imprisoned metls
and 10 support that of Riel, and the fourth
to gather the facts and documents to form
a reasonable judgment on the question.
RIEL's SECRETARY.
QUEBEC. Nov. 19.-The Chronicle this
evening demands that a searching investi-
CATION be made into the escape OF jackson,
Riel's secretary, remarking that its manner
is a mystery, but that it must remain so no
longer than can be helped. as the plea of
insanity in his case appears to have been
dodge. His escape and letters point to a
different solution. LIE Canadien says:
Jackson's fight, which has followed at no
great distance of time his acquittal upon the
demand of the crown so infexible with regard
to Riel is exceedingly eloquent. What
irony! What a bloody parody on justice!
Jackson, the accomplice of the governments
victim, lives the life of a citizen, while Riel
died on the scatfold.

New Y DIRK, Nov. IA Montreal

is at last fairly aroused over the offensive
demonstrations which are of nightly oc-
currence. Last night AID. Money was
burned in effigy. and it was also the inten-
ton of the mob to honor similarly Aid.
Stevenson, who is the commander of the
Montreal field battery. The latter part of
the program was not carried into effect,
however, as about 200 of the gallant
coloners comrades had assembled and were
well prepared to give them warm recep-
ton. The French say they will burn Aid.
Stevenson in effigy before his residence this
evening, and, if they carry out their inten
tons blood will certainly flow, as the Eng
lish have organized strong defense asso-
citation. composed of all the athletic associa-
tons, snowshOe clubs and militia regiments.
The feeling of evaporation on the part of
the English is increasing. and if the French
want to fight they will probably have their
wish acceded to.
