REL MUST HANG.
MONTREAL, Nov. 14.-Rumors are cur
rent here to-day that Chapleany, sheriff of
Regina. will resign and discharge his dep
uty rather than put the warrant for Riels
execution into force. 1t is stated that an
other petition has been sent to Sir John
Macdonald by Montreal Conservatives, adj
yising him that the execution of Riel will
seriously affect the confederation. La Presse
publishes a letter and approves
its suggestion that the Mon
day following Riel's execution be
observed as day Of mourning and services
be held in all the churches. The Post says
that upon receipt of the information of
Rlel's execution flags should be hoisted at
half mast. No riot or serious trouble is ap-
pretended on Monday. 1t is stated that
Hon. MI. Chapleau, secretary of state, in
answers to questions put by French Cana
dians, members of parliament who inter-
viewed him, said Reil was great
criminal, being guilty not only of
the part which he took in the rebellion,
but also of murders and burgiaries commit
ted by those whom he led into rebellion;
that the Indian chiefs were condemned to
suffer death and would be executed the
27th. He then asked how, if the law did
not take its course in RielS case it in JUS
tice could take its course in their cases.
Chapleau, it is reported further said he
would not resign his seat in the cabinet if
Riel was executed. A dispatch was also
read by Chapleau from Lord Melgund.
stating that the governor general adhered
to his warrant One member OF
the deputation states. it was now known
that Friday last Chapleau secretly came to
Montreal and Sir Hector Langevin Gore of
Quebec, with the object of feeling the pulse
of the people, and then having found the
population of both cities iu state of great
anxiety and agitation, advised Sir John
Macdonald to have Riel resplted until Mon
day. f'i@
