Winnipeg, Man., Oct. o. Although
the verdict OF the privy council in Refs
case is pot surprise, it has occasioned
deep feeling among half breeds and
French here, who now expect the rebel
will be hanged. A dispatch from Re-
gina says kiel displayed great agitation
on receiving the news. He fears that
the last rung in the ladder of hope is
gone, and expressed the private opinion
that he would have to meet the fate that
the recent sentence imposed. g school
Of infantry under Col. Otter, which
went to the front when the rebellion
broke out, and which has been at Battle

evening for Toronto by regular train.
Montreal, Oct. 22-L. 0. David, presi-
dent of the Riel Defense association,
says he has received Trustworthy infor-
nation that it is the governments in
tention to carry the law into effect
against Riel. The feeling, he says,
among French Canadians is intense; and,
with the smallpox and other causes of
race feeling, the slightest provocatlon
might cause serious trouble. Personal.
ly. he will take no further steps in the
matter, and believes the committee will
follow his course, holding the govern
ment responsible. Government officers
here say Riel will be hanged on the 10th
of next month.
Ottawa, Oct. 22-It is stated here that
the government has ordered the In
dians, recently sentenced to death for
taking part in the Northwester rebellion,
to be hanged on the several reservations,
believing that it will have strong ten.
dency to prevent their rising again.

Through the construction of the North
western railroad to Yankton Pierre
gains largely in public sentiment in be-
halt OF Its claims for the possession of
the seat of government. Yankton does
not manifest any desire to secure the
seat of government for itself, but it
naturally inclines towards location
which will aid in the Development OF To-
cal interests. Just now it is anxious for
the construction of the Northwest.
ern railroad from this point up
the Missouri and the general
feeling is that the location of the capi-
tai at Pierre would forward this enter
prise. This is one of the chief reasons
why the people of this section of Dakota
incline to Pierre in their choice of a
capital location. It may be a selfish
reason, but these questions are usually
determined from business standpoint.
The construction OF the Northwestern
through the unoccnpied counties bor-
dering the Missouri is of far greater i'm
portance to US than any other consider
alton connected with the capital loca-
ton.

The changes in the gubernator1al as

nor of Dakota. There is no truth in
tEis report, and in none of the many re-
ports of the same character. There
will not be any change in the governor
ship Of Dakota for several months at
least. This is stated by authority.
When Col. Pierce was here recently, the
president is said to have given him as

The platform adopted by the Huron
convention pledges the people Of south
Dakota to unalterable opposition to all
schemes for the admission of Dakota as
whole. The full meaning OF this dec.
laration is that the people will not &C.
cept any proposition of congress which
contemplates the formation of state
from the entire area of Dakota, bat will
vote down such propositions at the polls
as often as they are submitted. Divi-
sion has been the almost unanimous de-
sire of all of Dakota from the day of our
organization as territory and the senti-
ments of the early pioneers have been
endorsed and adopted by those who have
since made their homes within the
boundaries of Dakota. Upon this point
the platform is outspoken and in har.
mony with the oft expressed wishes of
those who have made Dakota what it is.

His Appeal Dismissed by the Privy
COuncil-Fears Of Trouble Among
the French Half-Breeds.
London, Oct. 22-rhe privy council
has dismissed the appeal of Louis RiaI,
the leader of the half-breed insurrection
in Canada, against the sentence of death
passed upon him by the Canadian
courts. In an interview, Mr.. Fitzpat-
rick, Riers Canadian counsel said:
1t is impossible to pretend that Riel
was unfairly tried. No doubt at the
time of the outbreak in the northwest
grievances existed which have since
been remedied. Riel commenced the
agitation from purely political motives.
Many people still CONSIDER that he rem
dered valuable service to the country.
Doubtless excitement induced in Riel a
mental condition rendering him incapa.
BILE of keeping the rebellion within legal
bounds. On the scaffold Riel will be-
come martyr. In prison or in an asy-
lum he would be forgotten.
In the face of the conflicting medical
evidence in Riel's case, Mr.. Fitzpatrick
advocates the appointment, by the Cana
dian government. of commission to
again examine the prisoner.
The Times says:
Lhe Judgment in the Riel leaves Can
ada free to act as she thinks best. 1t is
the universal opinion in England that
Riel deserves death, and if be be execut-
ed the justice OF the decision will not
be questioned here.
The Daily Telegraph says:
On the whole yesterdays judgment is
upheld by reason, and comes from law
yers of such undoubted ability that it
may be assumed to cover the Justice of
the case. The end of the chapter rests
with Canada. Riel cannot complain if
Canada, now master of the situation, ex-
acts the last penalties.
New York, Oct. 22-Post London
cable: The decision of the privy council
as to Riel's application for leave to ap-
peal is quite in accordance with the gen
eral anticipation here in legal circles.
The petitioners case was considered
very weak from the outset. Riel's coun-
Gil relied chiefly on the contention that
the court in the first instance at Regina
had no Jurisdiction to try the petition.
The appellate court was apparently not
much disposed to attach weight to this
argument. No surprise was felt when,
at the close OF the counsel's address, the
attorney general said he did not feel
called upon to reply in behalf of the
crown. To-day in a brief Judgment read

ager Holdredge is reported as saying:
I'VE have secured our articles of iucor-
poratioD, and we propose to submit the
scheme to our directors in Boston, who
have not as yet approved of it. If we
can secure their consent the road will
soon be an assured fact. Surveys have
been commenced, and it the directors
decide to build work will be begun in
the spring. The road will be constructed
with our owp money and without local
aid. We think there is money in a
northwest line, and propose to build il
if we can.
This project is worth the attention ol
Yankton. 1t is not improbable that q
proper representation of the situation
would induce this company to come on,
way. It is worth trying for.

The doings of the Huron democrats,
who assembled themselves together last
week to correct the acts of the demo-
cratic central committee at Mitchell the
week previous, were not of nature to
inspire respect or confidence among the
loyal members of that party. Meeting
ostensibly to organize faction of their
party in behalf of the statehood move
ment. after stormy session these Huron
democrats went step further
than their Mitchell predecessors and IN.
structed the democratic party to go to
the polls next month, but to vote against
the constitution. The Mitchell
gathering went almost far enough to
arouse the antagonism of it's party
against spirit of dictatorial assump-
tion, and the Huron gathering has COM
pleted the work. It cannot be demon
strated that the democracy of Dakota is
under brass collar and chain discipline
and there are many within its ranks who
will go their way and do as they please.
Huron is Unfortunate ineharboring this
antl-statehood, anti-division sentiment
1t Is candidate before the people for
temporary capital honors and must suf-
fer in it's chances from the extreme ex-
pressions Of Its citizens against the
statehood movement. Put forth at a
time when loyal republican convention
was in session at Huron, and evidently
intended to influence the minds of the
members of that convention, the e1-
pressions of this democratic gathering
are not calculated to aid the cause of
Huron in the coming contest.

Khartoum is the chief town of the whole
region called the Egyptian SOudan, which
stretches from Egypt on the north to the Ny
ANA lakes on the south, aud from the Red
sea on the east to the western boundary of
Darfur on the west Khsrtoum is built on a
barren, stoneless and wide plain, on the west
ern bank Of the Blue Nile and about a mile
above its junction with the White Nile. Its
river frontage is about miles, its depth in.
wards from the river about a mile. As its
site is somewhat lower than the point reached
by both rivers when in food, dyke Is or
20 feet in height has been made along the
banks OF the Blue Nile, and another some
what lower Immediately at the back of the
town, TO protect it against the overflow of the
White Nile. When at their lowest point, both
streams are from 600 to 500 yards in width,
and have several islands, which are cultivated.
The White Nile is unfordable, except in one
or two places far up the river but the Blue
can be forded in many places above the town.
When in food the White Nile increases it's
width to a very great extent but not so the
Blue Nile, as its banks are much sleeper.
Around Khartoum are several small villages.

The DELIGHTS OF OCEAN TRAVEL IN WIN
TER. When the Cunard steamship Serva ar
rived from Europe yesterday she looked as if
she had met all the demons of the storm and
had taken fall out of each. With 140 cab
in, 40 intermediate and 146 steerege passen-
gers she left Queenstown on the afternoon of
Jan. 25, with light breeze aud plenty of
steam. She made 356 miles that day, and
the next day 40l miles more. The passen-
gers were congratulating themselves on q
pleasant voyage in q bad season OF the year,
when on the afternoon of the third day a
gale arose that completed the woes of the
seasick ones, and kept all but sailors below
decks. The Oldest seamen said that it was
dirty weather, and the inexperienced would
have given long odds against their ever see
ing land. The storm lasted four days, and
each succeeding day had some peculiar feat
ure OF its own that tended to increase the
odds against the vessel. On the morning of
Wednesday, the 2Sth, dozen seas had been
shipped, the decks we're swept clear of all
movable articles, one Of the lifeboats had
been carried away, and three had been In
jured. Wednesday night another boat was
carried away, and with it the starboard side
OF the iron bridge. The officer on watch
narrowly escaped going overheard, and spent
the remainder of his watch with very little
to stand on. On Friday the Both, the pas.
sengers we're becoming used to q constant
state OF terror, and many of the women went
to bed for the first time since the hurricane
began. Something new was necessary to
frighten them any more, but the hurricane
was equal to it. Several waves gathered to-
Rether until they formed a small mountain.
The mountain fell on the ship, crashing
through the heavy glass skylight, and in a
second all the passengers were screaming
and rushing hither and thither wadinR ankle

ing with open doors lurch of the vessel
filed their cabins, and they foated out into
the saloon with horrifed faces, imagining
themselves sinking When the ship lurched
the other way, and stranded them with no
water to hide them, they scrambled back
again. Some Of the passengers determined
to go on deck. There matters were steadily
getting worse. More boats had been stove
in on the starboard side, ventilators were car
ried away, and the stays supporting the thir-
ty ton smoke-stack were also gone. Another
heavy sea just then would have toppled it
over, and perhaps put out the fires. To cap
all, the tiller chain broke, leaving the vessel
helpless in the trough of the sea for over an
hour. When the vessel reached Sandy Hook,
on Wednesday evening the passengers col.
lected $500 and distributed it among the
crew, and Capt. Mckay, who worked right
through the storm without rest, is to have 9
