Points in the Rebellion.

The Case of the Prosecution ClOsed-SOme
Points in the Rebellion.
WINNIPEG, July 30.-In the Riel trial at
Regina yesterday the remainder Of the
Crown witnesses were examined and the
case of the prosecution closed. The evi
dence bore chiefly on the part taken by the
prisoner in melting to rebellion and leading
the HAlfbreeds. Merchants who were i'm
prisoned and their stores raided at Duck
Lake and Prince Albert gave history OF
the early incidents of the rebellion. Thomas
jackson, brother of Reils secretary, identi.
fed a number of documents in Rells hand
writing, calling on the HalfOreeds and In
dians to ioin.h him in the Rebellion. Chas.
RolHn, Rieps cousin, said that the
prisoner told him last December
that he claimed an indemnity
of 100000 from the Dominion government
for losses in the Bed River rebellion. Risl
said if he got the indemnity he would go
away and If not would raise q rebellion.
Witness deposed as to Riels leadership of
the rebels. Gen. Middleton was examined
and dwelt chiefly on the events of the cam
paipn at one point. Riefs answer got the
better of him and be asked to be allowed
to cross examine witnesses. HI found fault
withthe plan OF his counsel to rest the de
tense on the insanity plea. BE was finally
ouieted down. Dr. Ray, Of Quebec and
DR.. Clark, Of Toronto. reached Regina yes
terday and inquired into Rieis mental con
dition. They will probably be examined
for the defense today.

FIVE CoNWcTs BURNED ALIVE.

A Prison Fired by Confessed Murderer,
Who Nearly Pays the Death Penalty.
PORTLAND, OREGON, July 3O-The county
Jail at Baker City, Oregon, was burned
Wednesday morning and five prisoners
cremsted alive, sixth was severely scorch-
ed. One of the prisoners complained OF
feeling sick and the iailer stepped across
the stree, to drug store to get medicine.
A moment later the alarm Of fire was given.
The building was OF wood, and the fire
spread very rapidly. The doors were
broken open, but the flames and smoke
drove the crowd repeatedly back. With hgrest
difficulty Fred Winkelusn, the half witted
murderer of Allen Rivers, was dragged
from his cell insensible and badly burned.
The FIVE other prisoners in the jail were
abandoned to their late. The names Of the
victims are Louis Miller, George Plumer
Samuel Brown, VIM. Lamb, John Cooley
and the confessed murderer, James Lsvecy.
Every appearance indicates that the Jail was
set on tire by Winkelmsn, doubtless to make
his escape during the excitement.

NO HOPE FOR MAcKIN,

The Supreme Court VIII Not Save Him
From the Penitentiary.
CHICAGO July 3e.-In reference to-the
supersedeas lately granted BY two Of the
judges Of the Supreme Court in the case Of
the People vs. Joseph c. Mackin, the follow
ing interview with one of the most distin-
guished sxjldges Of the Circuit Court in
the State Is printed. He said be had been
Republican al his life; bad been on the
Circuit bench nearly sixteen years. he be-
heyed Maekin to be guilty OF the most
heinous crime citizen could commit against
the commonwealth"
"Thea, Judge" said the reporter, what
do you think Of the action Of Judges Craig
and Shope in granting Mackia superse-
deasY'
That it was strictly legal proposition
emphasized by the exercise of legal right
1t is not the fault ofihe courts butofthe peo-
pie that thela is defective. That it is defec-
tive is thefsult of the General Assembly. For
many years, under the constitution, the
Judges have made recommendations, only
to have them thrown into the waste basket.
AS far as the Maekin case is concerned, the
Supreme Court Judges mentioned, or in tsct
the entire bench, could have done nothing
else than have issued the writ. But because
Judges Craig and Shope felt it their duty to
issue the writ in the Msekin case is no eyi-
denee that the full bench will scquit Mack
in. / have made study of these writs Of
supersedeas, and iud that only in one case
has the indicted man gone free"
Then you believe that Msckin will be
convictedT
~ not only believe 50, but feel confident
that when the full bench passes upon the
case, if the State, mark you, sir, if the State
pursues It's iuquisition, Joseph c. Msckin
viii be found guilty according to all the
forms Of law. say this as Republican,
as lawyer. know the members of the
Supreme bench personally, and while ma
jority are of the Democratic faith, honest
ly believe there is not one who would shield
Msckin or any other Democrat who had
been guilty Of prostitutiDg the franchise"

and brain win be in line, besides several
thousands Of young women and youths,
who will take part in the general devices

grand column. Sulzer's Harlem River
Park has been chosen for the rendezvous and

the principal streets of the city. Last year
the procession included 10000 men, and the
large increase this year is accounted for BY
the fact that many new labor organizations
have been made and old ones greatly aug.

Labor Union has all the arrangements in

are As organizations represented in the
