THE REL AGITATION.
Immense Indignation Meetings Held
at Quebec and Montreal Sunday.

QUEBEC, Nov. GA meeting called to express
indignation at the execution of Riel was held at
Lewis, Quebec, yesterday. The greatest enthu-
siasm prevailed. Hon. Al. Pelletier said that war
had been opened by the Orangemen in Sher-
brooke, In attacking Nationalists there. NJ. Des-
jardens a Conservative member of Parliament
said that protest against the execution of Riel
representing 150, 900 French Canadians was sent
to the government but was not recognized, and
that the threatened rupture had not come between
the government and the province of Quebec. He
reminded Sir John Macdonald OF the burning OF
the Parliament house in Montreal In 40, and later
OF 1.-THE scaffod of Riel Other prominent men
made strong speeches against the government.
MONTREAL, Nov 23.-The demonstration on
Champ de Mars In Montreal yesterday afternoon,
was probably never surpassed In point of numbers
or effect by any political demonstration on this
continent. Three stands were erected at different
points, sand forty orators numbered forth an
athemas against the Conservative government.
The speakers, both Conservative and LIBERAL
agree that the death of Rie could only be avenged
by the ousting of Sir John acDonald from power.
The speakers included some of the most prominent
men of both parties. The attendance was various
ly estimated at from 35, 900 to $4,000, and the
object for which the meeting was called was to
den0unce the execution OF the Metls chief at
Regina Resolutions were submitted which were
said to be the platform of the new national party,
and heartily approved Each stand was decorated
with French and American flags. The resolutions
which were strongly condemnatory of the govern
ment, says that the execution was an OdiouS act
of cruelty and betrayal of trust and pledge all the
Quebec members of Parliament to vote against
the government at the first opportunity. There
are sixty-three members from that province, OF
whom fifty-twO are enrolled as members of the
new party. OF these, forty-three are Conserva-
tves The Conservatives having seventy-fOur
majority in the House may fairly be said to be de-
feated already and it is believed that before the
session of the next House Macdonald will dis
solve the Parliament and appeal TO the country.

THE TENEMENT HOUSE FIRE.
Three Persons Kilied-Alleged Crime
of a Cigar Maker.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-The accidental upset
ting of kerosene lamp in the rooms of Otto Mat
zozok on the third floor OF tiye-story tenement
house on East Gath street, in this city, early this
morning, caused the loss of three lives: The
house and the one adjoining were filled with Bo-
hemian cigar makers employed in nelghboring
the building when the cry OF fire was raised. The
flames communicated to the floors above through
convenient air shafts, and scene Of Wild coniu-
sion and panic ensued. The frightened tenants
took to the fire escapes with all haste and as the
fremen soon extinguished the flames 1t was
thought that all had escaped but in a rear room
on the top floor Of No. 404 were found a Bohem-
ian widow. 40 years old, and her two children,
aged II and years, lying dead. They had been
smGthered.
report spread early among the homeless ten
ants that the house had been deliberately set on
fire by one of their number. Henry X. Kohul, a
one. He had disappeared and could not be found
until later in the morning. By that time the po-
lice had collected enough evidence to make
charge OF arson and murder against him. The
and threats of lynching were made if Kohul was
found Stratagem was resorted to, and when
Kohul turned up at the cigar factory he was told
go into the Office to settle up his insurance there.
He was not let out until the police had been sent
for, and had come in sufficient force to protect
him. KOhul is insured for 5000, while his furn-
iture is scarcely worth $75.
A fire marshal began taking testimony later con-
cerning the origin of the fire. From this 1t ap-
peared that the fire broke out in Kohul's room
room instead of MatZoZ0ks room. Kerosene oil
had been poured over the bed and floor. The
hallway and stairs were in flames, and the only
way of escape for the tenants was by lire escapes
in the front and rear. Kohul was identified by
one of the tenants as the man who threw some
thing like water cut of pail on the burning
stairs. 1t blaZed up as soon as 1t touched the

Foreign Notes.
Concerning Canadian silver.

OTTAWA Nov. 23-The statement has been
pretty widely spread that there are in circulation
here a number of counterfeit silver coins. The
finance department has been investigating the
statement, and traces it to the fact that the new
coinage has not the letter III" in small size un-
derneath the wreath below the denomination of
the coin The finance department deshe to have
it generally known that sometimes when the royal
mint is unable to do work for Canada or other
colonies owing to pressure of previous engage
ments the mint authorities employ HeatOn & Sons
of Birmingham to manufacture coin in which case
that firm puts the letter H" on, and when the
royal mint does the work itself no "H' is stamped
on the coin. The presence or absence of the ''H'
has nothing to do with the genuineness of silver
coins of Canada
