POWERFUL MEDICINE.

As a physician, the colered esaslsman has not taken high rank. DoctoFs who graduate with honors refuse to consult with him. They question his skili and spurn his roots and herbs. Soueeimea though, the effect of his medicines must be acknowledged. Several days ago, an old negro whose son had bssa taken violently III, sent for Dr. Simeoa, a man whose complexion Is a perfect harvest of midnight, but who believes that there is in the woods remedy for every disease.

The Half-Breeds.

BArTLEFoRD, May 25.-Priest is just
in with communication from Pound
maker to General Middleton, who ar
rived here last night. Poundmaker
offers to surrender Internationally.
His followers, to the number of 1000,
are now coming in to talk with Middle
ton. Forty haIf-breeds are with them.
Dumont, Riel's lieutenant, is still in the
Birch Hills with few adherents. Priest
brought him letter from Middleton,
demanding his surrender and promising
fair trial. Being told who the letter
was from, Dumont refused to take it,
and said the General could go to the
devil. Few weapons of any value have
been as yet surrendered. Alarming re-
ports are current regarding Big Bear.
There has been so much delay in pro-
ceeding against him that he has had
time to recruit from every tribe in the
district, until now he has 800 fighting
men, al. fairly armed. He has declared
that he will make stand between Frog
Lake and Fort Pitt.

Roman Catholic Baptism.

CINCINNATI, May 25.-In the Presby-
terrain assembly, at pm, Judge
brakes deposition against the validity
of the Roman Catholic baptism was
taken up. He yielded the floor, asking
that some opponent open the debate
and that he be allowed to close.
DR.. w. c. Alexander, professor in the
theological seminary of San Francisco,
spoke in opposition to the resolution.
He said it was useless, as it would not
be a deliverance, but simply an express
sion of the opinion of those voting. 1t
was mischievous, since, by passing it,
we make ourselves the laughing stock
of the world 1t islmore 2apal than all
the Popes combined. 1t involves mis-
Interpretation of standards, according
to which the ''visible church" is COM
posed of all those who profess true
religion. This resolution denies the
validity of baptism administered to
millions of persons who have. come into
the Protestant Church from the Roman
Catholic Church and who never received
any other baptism.
DIR. H. E. Nevins followed
at some length, showing of what cor
ruptions the Roman Catholic Church
consisted.
DR.. Schaff offered a substitute to the
resolution, to the effect that the Roman
Catholic Church. though corrupt and
teaching many unscriptural errors, yet
retaining the Holy Scriptures and an
cient creeds with all the fundamental
truths of Christianity, is still the branch
visible of the Church of Christ, and,
therefore. the sacrament of baptism ad-
ministered by that church with the
right to baptize, is true and valid
Christian baptism, which cannot and
ought not to be repealed. DIR. Schaff
spoke in favor of the substitute, by
showing from the history of the Church,
that baptism administered in the name
of the Trinity, with proper intention,
regardless of the character of the one
administering it, had always been con-
sidered valid si& III
/. Further debate was postponed until
tomorrow afternoon.

The Commune.

PARIS, May 25.-Te-day being the an
niversary of the fall of the Commune,
the Com nunists of Paris attempted to
hold demonstration at the tombs of
their comrades, in Pere La Chaise Gem

several men were wounded. The police
finally dispersed the rioters, thirty OF
whom were arrested.
LATER.-The police ordered the Com
munlStS to surrender their red flag, but
the latter refused, and fighting ensued,
the police drew their swords and drove
the rabble against heap of stones. The
rioters used stones and one of the police
men was knocked senseless and an
others Jaw was broken. The Repubh-
can guards with fixed bayonets, charged
the mob.
PARIS. May 25.-The police expect and
are prepared for renewal of the Com
munist riot at Pere La Chaise Cemetery
to-day or tomorrow Communist
papers cry for vengeance upon the
police and troops for attacking and
bayoneting the people who attempted
yesterday to make a demonstration at
the graves of Communists in the ceme
terry. The journals, in order to incite
the mob, falsely assert that the soldiers
during yesterdays riot shot four Com
munists dead. Threats were made to
attack the authorities with arms and
dynamite.
To-dayis demonstrations of Commun
lists in celebration of the fall of the Bas-
tile, has up to this hour been orderly.
The government withdrew the troops
and allowed the processionists to march
into Pere la Chaise cemetery with red
flags. The police also left the Com
munists to themselves. Henry Roche
fort made his appearance and was hailed
by the paraders with shouts of 'Vive la
Commune The policy of the author
ties in simply ignoring the demonstra-
ton is praised Communists, not being
opposed, vented their enthusiasm and
alleged blood thirstiness in harmless
shouts. They claim, however, to have
overawed the authorities and boast of
their vic tory.

Senator Sherman ON silver.

SAN Francisco. May Ex-senator
John Sherman, visiting this city, was
rendered public reception this after
noon, by members of the Chamber of
Commerce. Board of Trade and the
Manufacturers Association. In re-
plying to the address of welcome, Sher-
man touched on the silver question and
said: 1--WE want certain adjustment
between silver and gold that both these
metals may be coined free; that they
may be deposited in the United States
Treasury in exchange for money certifi-
Gates, and that both be SO adjusted that
they may travel all over the world
equal to each other in every land. To
accomplish this, silver must be pur-
chased, coined and paid out at market
rates, or received in deposit at market
rates and paper money issued for it.
This will give bi-metallic money good
not only IN San Francisco, but in New
York, London and all other parts of the
world"
Sherman leaves on Wednesday for
Oregon and Washington Territory. re-
turning east via the Northern Pacific.

Outbreak Feared.

PARIS. May 25.-Eight thousand per-
sons attended Courvet's funeral. The
procession was unmolested until about
leaving the cemetery, when the police
tried to capture their flag and disperse
the mob. The changed attitude of the
government causes serious uneasiness
regarding an outbreak, the opinion be-
ing that the Anarchists must be re-
pressed.
1t is asserted tonight that the perfect
of police will issue an order, tomorrow
prohibiting the carrying of flags in
professions.
Grave outbreaks by communists and
anarchists are feared for tomorrow and
until after the funeral of Victor Hugo.
The revolutionists have been worked up
to very high state of excitement. 1t
is reported that they intend to erect
barricades in the streets.
