THE TAI;ER DIVORCE CASE.


BOsToN, Nov. 16-Mr. Dickinson, coun-
sci for Mr.. Taber, and Mr.. Butterworth,
counsel for Mrs. Tabor, have had IA con-
sultation in regard to the case with Judge
Charles Allen, and he has submitted to
them the minutes on which he based his
decree IN favor of Mr.. Taber. 1t was
agreed among them that the reasons which
led the judge to his decision should not be
made public, and they will not he given
to the newspapers. Under the laws of
Massachusetts the court has no authority
to grant Il divorce Immediately upon the
conclusion Of the trial of any case. The
statute provides that six months must be
allowed tor the correction of any mistakes
or errors that may have occurred during
the trial, before an absolute divorce is de
Greco and during that time the parties to
the SUIT must not tranSgltSS their mar
rage vows. Should the successful par
ties do this the decree would at once he
annullcd. This Is the position in which
principals in the case of Taber rs. Tabcr
now find themselves, and Mrs. Iaber mas
six months in which to show cause why
AN absolute divorce should not be granted.
If through her counsel she should by ar
gument or additional testimony convince
the court that sufficient cause did not eN-
iSt tor the divorce the DEGREES might be
dismissed and there could then be either a
new trial ON the old libelS or new llbels
could be fled

ABOUT THE MESSAGE.
Points to be Considered Recommended
lions to he Made.

WASHINGTON, Nov. lot is said that
the President has got well along with his
message and that some portions of it are
now being copied. Considerable space
will be devoted to our commercial rela-
lions and the steamship controversy which
has arisen because of the action of Post
master General Villas in refusing to distr
butte the 100000 subsidy that was author
lied by the last Congress The navy de-
partment will receive n large share of at
tention and Congress will be urged to
make large appropriations for the con-
structiOn OF new vessels. The tarlff and
the silver questions will be considered and
some important recommendations made.
1t is expected that the message will be
completed and ready for :he printer this
week 1t will be set up at the government
printing office. and Public Printer Rounds
will exercise the same care and secrecy in
its handling which he has done for the
past three years 1t will be remembered
that one of the messages of President
Hayes was published in various parts OF
the country in advance of its presentation
to Congress and it was ascertained that it
leaked out through the medium of proof
slips Mt the government printing Office.
The affair raised II tremendous row, and
since then he greatest prtchution has been
taken to prevent Il repetition of that affair.
! Nothing of the kind has occurred and it is
not likely that any portion of Mr.. Cleve-
lands message will see the light before
| the prOper time.

ATTITUDE OF PACIFIC ISLANDS.
The State Department Declines to Inter-
fere for NeutrnlitN.

New YORK, Nov. 16.-A Washington
special to the Evening Post says The
report that the Secretary of Strife is one
of the movers in diplomatic project to
secure neutrality of the Islands of the Pa
ciic which are now not occupied by Eu-
ropean powers is officially denied A
prominent official states that the depart
ment has always recognized the fact that
it would be to the advantage of the United
States to have the Pacific Islands neutral,
but that the State department has no au-
thority to enter into any negotiations.
However it is a fact that the Hawaiian
minister has been endeavoring to inaugu-
rate movement of this kind, and that
he has endeavored to secure the co-opera
ton OF the government, but it also is
quite clear that the state department will
not venture to commit itself in the mat
ter, except possibly to approve recon-
mendations to Congress If it can be done
without violating international law or in
terfering in any disputed questions with
foreign powers

NOTES on THE EXECUTION.


MONTREAL, Nov. l6.-The first demon
stration here took place at about 10
o'clock, when four hundred students of
Victoria University formed double line
and bearing tricolOr draped in black
marched down Bleury street singing in
unison the revolutionary cantata La Mar
seillaise. They passed through Notre
Dame street and were joined at the City
hall by the medical and law students of
Laval They proceeded to La Mnervc
Office and groaned and Missed with all pos
sibe might, showing by this means how
great was their disapprOval OF the atti-
tude taken by La Mnerve in connection
with the hanging of Riel.
Under the heading sic GiDet,' Il Eten-
dard of tO-day'- date says:
This morning in all probability the I'M
happy chef of the Metis will die by the
hand of the hangman. The 10th OF No
vember, 1883. will be a day of brutal re
joicng for the bloodthirsty fanatics of
Ontario and the Northwest d.
This question will excite the laughter of
Messieurs the Orangemen. For during
centuries their hangmen have been max
ing political martyrs, and stu they ENJOY
impunity.
The Judgments Of God are very different
from the blind valuations made by men.
But whoever one may be and whatever
the works one has accomplished one has

The executioner OF Riel was a man named
lack Henderson, who was captive of
Rielis in the rebellion Of 1870.
1t came out in the evidence during the
trial that Rel made proposition to the
government to sell out his friends for
cash compensation of about 100000.

Proposed Neutrality for Pacific Islands.

WAsHINGTON, Nov lG.-An important
diplomatic move to secure the neutrality
of the islands of the Pacific, so far as they
are not now possessed by the continental
powers, is on foot, which contemplates a
disregard of SPANS claim to sovereignty
over any of the islands upon which she
has not established and maintained her
colonies Regarding this an opportune
time in view of the apprehension raised
last summer by the CarullneS affair, the
/ Hawaiian authorities have lately directed
the Hawaiian minister in this country to
propose u plan to the United States Eng
| land, France, Holland, Germany and
Spain for the settlement of this question.
/ 1t is that the Sandwich Islands, which
! possess great influence in the other groups,
| he allowed to send commission To unite
! them into local representative govern
meutS, whose integrity shall ne guaran-
! teed by the powers. The contracting pow
ers would then send consuls to the islands
to protect their respective interests In
this way the islands will be kept forever
open to commerce and neutral in any wars
that may hereafter arise. The scheme
as out lined, has been the subject of sew
eral consultations between Minister Car
ter and Secretary Bayard The latter
heartily endorses it. Armed with tins en-
dorsement, Minister Carter sailed fol
Europe to-day on Il mission to the nation:
mentioned He has laid the matter he
tore the ministers ut Washington of the
countries named, and in every case thvil
answers have been favorable.

REGINA. n. w. r., Nov. 16.-Riel's con
Guiding hours were passed in the sole
company of his spiritual adviser, who per-
formed mass during the early portion OF the
night for him. Rel then lay down, and
appeared to sleep soundly, awakening at
an early hour, and again resuming his de-
votions. The same extraordinary precau-
tions against the possible escape OF Riel
or intrusion into the barracks of unauthor-
lied persons was observed this morning.
AT mile from the barracks mounted pa
trolls challenged all persons, and com
PEELED them to show written passes. Other
lines of guards were stationed at points
near the post, and the same precautions
were observed No one was permitted to
enter the guard room until s:l2 o'clock.
The Scene Presented
then was that of Rel in his cell, with
Pere Andre and Father McWilliams
with him celebrating mass. Riel was on
Bonded knees, wearing loose woollen
surtout, gray trowsers and woollen shirt
On his feet were moccasins, the only fea-
ture of his dress that partook of the In
dian that was IN him He received notice
to proceed to the scaffold in the same COM
night on receiving the warning of his fate.
His face was full of color and he appeared
to have complete self-possession, respond
ing to the service in clear tones.
The morning opened bright and clear
and frost had fallen. A 8 O'Clock the exc
cution party went up the rickety ladder up
stairs and proceeded along the left to the
far end, where was found Louis Rlel,
kneeling near the door leading TO the scat

though pale, he was firm. The figure OF
the hangman now appeared out OF the
gloom of the loft, holding straps to bind
Riel. He wore Il mask over his face. Al
