En- Route to the Seat of War.

Special TO the Globe.
CHICAGO, April 3.-A number of promi-
nent Canadian officials passed through here
en- route to Manitoba. 1t was learned through
conversations with them that the Dominion
government is taking active precautions
against Fenian invasion and that the govern
ment is in receipt Of information which
shows concIusively that the Fenians are con-
templating some kind of movement. All
the entrances TO the parliament building at
Ottawa with the exception Of one door are
closed and there two policemen are con-
stantly on duty to prevent anyone not we'll
known from entering the building. II is
expected that the Fenians viii confine them
selves 70 assisting Riel in his
rebellion in the Northwest. The half
breed grievance seems to be that they
sold out lands granted them by the Domin-
ion government for ANYTHING offered them,
and moved back into Prince Albert county.
Here they became dissatisfied and sent 70
the United States for Riel TO visit them and
during his visit, which every one supposed
vas of conciliatory nature, he quietly sowed
the seeds Of dissension which have finally
eliminated in this uprising. TIE Dominion
authorities contem plate q long guerrilla war
fare, which will probably last year or more.
The military authorities are actively engaged
in organizing troops, getting arms and ac-
coutrements in readiness and preparing to
make vigorous warfare.

A SINGLE OBJECTION
ISSUE OF PATENTS SUSPENDED.
Settlers Can Make Entries of Land But
the Government WIN Retain the
Titles
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-Commissioner
Sparks to-day struck a severe blow at the
people who make fraudulent entries of pub
lie lands 1t is the most practical measure
in the direction of reform that has been in
stitutcd In the land Office for long time.
The fraudulent entering of public lands
has for years been going on
Mt wholesale. Whole tiers of
townships in many territories have been
taken up by people, not one of whom has a
right 10 make an entry; and quantities OF
arabic lands are being taken up under the
DESERT LAND ACT,
and lands are also obtained under the timber
culture act, without complying with their
conditions. The repeal of the desert land
and timber culture acts will put a stop for
the future to large class of
these frauds. Commissioner McFarlane
employed a considerable number OF special
agents TO 20 through the territories and spot
the frauds, and many attempts to get wrong
full possession of the public lands were de-
trcted But frauds continued much faster
than they could be detected. By the order
of Commissioner Sparks to-day, final action
on the issue OF patents is suspended until
further orders In all cases of desert
lands or timber-culture claims, aud
all homestead entries in Western Kansas,
Western Nebraska, New Mexico, Arizona, Ne
vada, Wyoming, Montana and part of
Minnesota The land Offices remain open
as usual and settlers can go on
MAKING THEIR ENTRIES,
but the government will retain the title Of
lands IN its own possession until the COM
missioner has had a general investigation.
In this way frauds will be detected before the
government has actually parted with its
ownership Of the lands. The order is pri-
marily aimed at the unlawful claims of the
cattle men and it does not apply to home
stead entries in Dakota, Idaho and Washing
ton territories, but the commissioner will ex-
tend his order 10 those territories if he finds
it to be necessary.

WAsHINGToS, April 3.-A reporter called
at the residence of ex-Speaker Randall this
evening to make inquiry about his condition.
His daughter, Miss Annie, said that Mr.
Randall was much better to-day, having had
n good nights rest. She added that the ex-
aggerated reports of his Illness seemed to
have grown out of the fact that yesterday
written request was posted at the door,
that the bell should not be rung. Mr. Ran
dali required rest, and there were so many
callers that, at the suggestion Of his ply
stefan, it was arranged TO stop the almost
continual ringing of the door bell. In every
respect Mr.. Randall is much better to-day
The carbuncle from which he has beeu suf-
fering has been lanced and is much easier,
and to-day he did not com plain of any pain.

Swain Wants Another Chance.
Special to the Globe.


WASHINGTON, April 3. 3.-Ex-Advocate Gen.
Swain, who was court martiaed under the
Arthur administration and retired for twelve
years from the active list Of the army, has
made application to President Cleveland to
have u review of the findings of the court in
his case. Swain, if given a chance, alleges
he can show that his trial and sentence was
the result of conspiracy on the part of the
late secretary and others to bring about
his dismissal from the army so that the place
could be given TO one who was in clover with
cX-Secretary Lincoln's military ring He
feels that If the proceedings are reviewed
from au impartial standpoint that his SEN
teuce will be very materially lightened If not
entirely mitigated. There is feeling out
side and in army circles that Swain was out
rageously prosecuted by Secretary Lincoln
because the latter could not use him at his

Some time after this Riel came to st. Paul
and stopped as usual at the Montreal house
Mr. Kennedy and Gen. O'Neill, both of
whom were on the expedition referred to in
which Riel sold out the whole force, learning
that be was here, went to his room to see
him. After considerable difficulty they sue
ceeded in corralling him. They made inqui-
ries and put ugly questions to him, which
showed up his rascality and treachery in
very clear light. Riel did not like it, but he
knew that be was in the wrong; that he was
sneak, liar and a fraud. He knew that
he had deserted cause and an expedition
that was organized at his suggestion, and of
course be had nothing TO say. His visitors
were angry and had q contem pt for the sneak.
At times 1t looked as though Kennedy or
Gen. O'Nein would take him By the throat
and strangle the life out OF him. But they
did not, aud at last left him in the utmost
disgust Tnis is the great Riel.
