The Ubiquitous Riel and Dumont Seen on
the Saskatchewan Banks.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. PA CORE
spondent of the Pioneer Press at Brandon,
Northwest Territory, sends Il surprising
story, but its truth is not vouched for. 1t
is as follows: Since the hanging of Riel
rumors of every conceivable shape have
been afioat, popular among which is one
that Riel was seen in person on the north
bank of the Saskatchewan on Wednes-
day, in company with IA person answering
the description of Gabriel DumOnt, and

the person of one of the condemned pris-
ouers at Regina Jail.

NEWPORT, R. l., September 23.-The

Reef light-ship last night at $40 o'clock

up at 9 :93 after having got entirely clear OF

did not have all her racing sails up. The
waiting thereafter was long and tedi-

two yachts, confirming the news brought
here yesterday that off Montauk Point
the Genesta was ten miles ahead. Soon
after midnight rain began falling and the
wind increased in velocity. At O'Clock

The provision Of the constitution of
Georgia, by which the present very
efficient railroad commission was es.ab-
lished, originated with Gen. "Bob"
Toombs in 1877, 1t was, as the Atlanta
correspondent of the New York Times
tells, the last and mos. signal act OF this
famed tribune of the people" II was
the only time he had appeared in public
life since the war. The famous granger
agitation had just swept over the North
west, carrying the people ia revolt and
bringing corporate wealth under subjec-
tion. Fired with this purpose, Gen.
Toombs entered the convention of 1877
and sprang single handed into the fight,
He was opposed by Gen. A. K. Lawton,
recently appointed Minister to Russia; by
Congressman n. j. Hammond, by ex-Gov.
Charles ]. Jenkins, and other able
Geoigians in that convention. But he
overthrew them all. He was armed with
facts and precedents, AM inspired by an
invincible determination. Backed hy a
granger element his remarkable articles
passed, and were quickly put in shape bv
the General Assembly. Such men as
Judge Woods, of the United States Su-
preme Court, then district Judge in
Georgia, sustained the law as equitable
and constitutional. Rat now, when the
tribune of the people is old and blind.
the monopol'sts and friends and advocates
OF the grasping aud soulless corporations,
who are fast reducing the working classes
OF the country to slavery, have seized the
Legislature of the State and are up6oino
his work. But money and monopoly will
not always wiz. There is a might in
numbers that cannot always be overcome
by cficane and corruption.

night. Vessel masters who arrived during

rescued in each case. Fears are felt for

known to be outside of port. Two un-
