dams.
B&ttleford, May 5, via Saskatchewan Land
ing, May 5-To-day a flying column under
command of Col. Otter, numbering 800, COM
prising mounted police under Herchmer, men
from the Queens Own Rifles, 'B" battery,
Ottawa Foot Guards and &C" company, be-
sides mounted police from Battleford, had
an engagement with Poundmaker's forces
on their reserve. The Indians numbered 500.
The fight lasted from ) o'clock in the morning
till noon, and was most holly contested through
ont. The losses on Offers side were eight
killed and twelve wounded. The Indian loss is
estimated at fifty. Following is the list Of the
killed: Corporal Laurie Corporal Sleight,
Burglar Burke. Foot G~uards-Private OsgOOd,
Private Rogers. &C" Company-Private
Dobhs, Bugler Faulkner.
POundmaker is one OF the most restless of the
restless chiefs Of the Northwest He has al
ways been u source of trouble to the govern
ment, but was borne with because OF the large
number Of followers ho had. Poundmaker was
the cause Of the first Indian outrages in the
present difficulties, and to his door may be laid
the entire Indian rising.
Further particulars of Otter's battle indicate
that the Indians fought with GOODNESS and
bravery, but they were poorly armed Many

equal to the braves. Although exhausted af-
ter the long march, Otter's column fought
steadily for seven hours, by which time the
Indians seemed to have enough and retired for
a short distance. Otter took advantage of this
to draw mis- men back for rest and refresh
ment The Indians do not deem themselves
defeated. 1t is now believed that the first
blow which will end in a long and bloody In
dian war has been struck.
OUR w INDIANS.
Mr.. Lyon, OF the board of Indian commits
sioners, was asked in New York. "Doyou fear
any uprising of the Indians, because of the re-
bellion in the British Territory" .
Some of our bad Indians" he replied,
CHOSE Of a fighting disposition, will undoubt-
edly go over to those who are now lighting,
but we do not anticipate trouble to any extent
The Indians, as a rule, seem to be satisfied at
present since the extra appropriations were
made for them, but before that they were half
starved. If trouble arose through Riel's infu-
ence among the Indians, itwould be among the
Gros Ventre, Piegan, Blood, Blackfeet and
River Grow tribes, ali of whom have their
reservations on the Montana frontier, which
separates the United States from the British
possessions"

When Captain f. ". Greene author
IF Army Life in Russia" was with the
Russian army in Turkey, in 1878, he
listened for hours to General Skobeleff,
as that great soldier unfolded his views
concerning the influence which India
would have upon the relations between
Russia and England. Skobeleffs ideas
are clearly set forth by Captain Greene
in an article In the Critic of May 2.

New York Special: The steamship Germanic,
OF the White Star line, sailed into this port
last Saturdaylooking so prim and neat that no
one would have imagined her to be the vessel
that came so near to being wrecked off the
Irish coast in the terrible storm of April. She
reached this city for the first time since the
trouble. Capt Kennedy, her commander, your
correspondent found on the ship, telling the
story to q score of assembled friends. The
captain is a seaman of forty-two years exper-
fence. He said:
1 shall never wonde any more how it happens
that a stout, well built vessel puts out TO sea
and is never heard of again. In my expert
ence | have encountered bad storms, but never
such a sea as the Germanic on that Monday
morning. If she had not been a good ship.
none would ever have known what had be-
come of us. He was prepared for the storm.
and had been fighting heavy waves for twenty
four hours. i stood here in the wheelhouse
at 10 o'clock, and the air was so filed with fly

the water appeared like a wall as high as the
tops Of our smokestacks right in the course of
the ship, it IL not more than O hundred feet

&orsc Department,

The steadily growing popularity of the
Morgan horse, and the increasing demand
for animals bred from the best existing
lines of that blood, with pedigrees that can
be vouched for as authentic, has led the ed
itors of this department to undertake the
collection and verifcation rs far as posi-
ole, of Morgan pedigrees from the time of
the original Justin Morgan to the present.
In connection with this work we are also
investigating the pedigrees of all trottng
horses that have proved their powers of en-
durance by trotting fifty or more public
and recorded races each. We have already
received from original sources large
amount of important information in both
these lines, much of which will be given in
these columns. For the completion of our
work, which will be published in book
form, we want pedigree, description and
history of every meritorious stallion de-
scended in direct male line from Justin Nor
gan that has ever been used for stock pur-
poses. Blanks for this information will be
furnished free on application. Questions OF
public interest concerning Morgan horses
will be answered in this department. AL
communications in this department may be
addressed to w. IL. Bliss, Rochester, Vt

The Breeders Meeting.

Circulars are out advertising the fall
meeting of the Vermont Horse Breed
ers' association, Oct. and 8, at How
ard Prak, Burlington. 1t was under
stood at the meeting of the committee,
in April last, that, if the fall meeting
was held at Howard Park, the rent OF
the grounds would be given to the as
ISOLATION in consideration of the privi-
lege of granting licenses to victualers,
the profit of which was to 90 to the
Howard Park association. We under
stand that it was only upon condition
that such arrangement should he made
that Howard Park was to be the place
of meeting, and that the committee has
taken no further action in the matter,
nor have the ma ority of its members
been consulted in relation thereto. 1t
is now stated, however, that an ar
rangement has been completed where
by the Howard Park association is to
have one-third OF the receipts as rent
for the grounds and that monopoly
for the sale of edibles upon the grounds
has been granted to single party; but
by what authority these arrangements
have been effected does not appear. 1t
would seem that these terms were not
as favorable to the Breeders associa-
ton as it had right to expect. There
is every prospect of the finest eXhibi
| ton of horses ever held in this State,
and the attendance will probably be
very large. 1t would be great Oh
ject to any town i'll this State, having
suitable grounds, to be the place of this
meeting Z, and it is intimated that Other
eli sible towns are willing to pay fol
the privilege. We trust that the com
mittee will take care that the Interests
of the society do not suffer in this mat
ter and that they will feel bound by ne
unauthorized action, but will locate
the meeting where they think best anC
upon the best terms that shall be founC
available.

The Sheep Awards at New Orleans.

We print below the conclusion of
Mr.. j. p. Rays reply to the Ohio
breeders letter on the above topic
Before ordering the sheep in the ring
Mr.. Cross gave us our instructions.
Said he, "Gou are not allowed to
speak to each other in the show-ring or
discuss any point, or words to that eff
feet. You will vote by ballot, and
when the ballots of you two judges
agree the award is settled. When you
disagree the umpire will choose be-
tween YOU" When the old rams were
in the show ring we were allowed to
examine the same sheep together. At
ter that we were ordered to go alone
and each inspect for himself. During
the first afternoon the umpire was call
ed i'll about half dozen times, if my
memory serves me right. We closed
the afternoons work, leaving the eve,
lamb and sweepstakes classes to be
passed on Friday forenoon q refer
to the American Merino class. The
second day we scarcely agreed in sim
gle case, and yet Ray runs the whole
business. AS the result of the first
days work, Mr.. Burwell had received
LIST on rams two years and over; LIST on
ewes two years and over; I'd and Sd
on ewes one year and under two and
all these the awards of Mr.. Robinson's
ballot and my own, without the aid OF
the umpire at all. Please take this in
Mr.. Purvis. If had an eye on the
Paular Register, what was Mr.. Robin
son looking after? The sweepstakes al
best ram of any age as stated above
was the award of my associates. The
sweepstakes as best eve of any age wai
given to Mr.. Burwell by the vote o
the umpire and myself. We now com,
to the grand sweepstakes, best ram auC
five ewes. In these pens the prize-win
ners stood: Mr.. Burwell's pen-bes
ram two years and over, best eve tive
years and over, sweepstakes ewe,2d ant
Sd premiums yearling eve. An Ohit
pen-1st premium yearling eve, tn,
award of my associates, and Sd prem
ium eve two years and over, the aware
of the umpire and myself. Mr.. Spivey'
pen-2d premium ram two years ant
oyer, I'd premium eve two years AM
over. To my mind these awards hal
virtually settled these sweepstake
premiums, and to be consistent wit
my previous action felt bound by al
sense of honor to vote Mr.. Burwell Isl
and as | had voted for all of MI
Spivey's premiums to place him second
With the aid OF the umpire this resul
was secured. | offer no apology TO
these awards. l stand by them today

there is short sentence which just
''strikes the spot" Here it is:
There is a small bank, but the town

of sufficient soiiiity to command the
entire confidence OF the mercantile

The concern referred to is McCor-

their ability to pay. Such an institn

popular here. 1t would, indeed, prov.
so popular that it would practically
have monopoly Of the loan business.
