mastering for the Forward March.

TORONTO, March 2S.-No new develop
ment has taken place in regard to the move
nent of troops. Both regiments are still
waiting for orders. Every preparation is
being made as to providing the men with
proper equipment. Two hundred and fifty
men from each regiment will be selected for
to-night's parade. The men have, in the
meantime, been temporarily dismissed. Gel.
Otter, who is to take command, entered the
drill shed about noon and was greeted with
rounds of cheers.
The excitement here continues unabated.
From an early hour this morning the ap-
proaches to the drill shed were crowded with
people waiting in expectation to see the de-
perture of the troops. The Royal Grenadiers
were mustered at s o'clock, and notwith-
standing the early hour and the fact that the
sergeants had to notify all the members of
tn cir companies, they turned out 800 strong.
After they were dismissed the Queens Own
mustered and showed a creditable turnout of
543. There is the widest excitement
amongst them, and many who had left the
regiment, when they heard that Col. Otter
was to take command, begged to be enrolled.
Both regiments are now in the drill shed
anxiously waiting orders when to start. The
selection of 250 men from. each regiment
will not be made till definite orders arrive
The mayor intimated that the city would look
after the wives and families of any married
men who go to the front.

| mustered at Winnipeg, if given to under
stand the nature of the country through
which they will have to pass, would hesitate
to follow. There is perhaps no stretch of
country so broken to be found in all that
wild west. In fact the traveller, even in the
dry, mild summer months, thinks that had
the geographers been over this trail they
would have put it at oue-tenth land and
nine-tenths water. What it will Sbe in the
spring can be imagined. A year or two ago
| the half-breed stage driver on this route was
| compelled to swim his horses no less than
seventeen times in making one of his trips
and one or two experiences of CARRYING bag
gage through mud--very sticky mud at that
| would serve to kill all desire for fight on
| the part of the ''tenderfoot.'' The rebels
could be headed off by sending force north
| from Calgary, but even on this trail the Red
Deer, Battle and Big Vermillion
rivers and several smaller streams would
have to be forded, and the journey of 200
miles would be hard one. Edmonton has
at present in the town and on the farms sur
rounding, through the Sturgeon river coun-
| try, sufficient whites to hold the rebels in
check if they properly organize, and as they
are frontiersmen in every sense of the word,
VIII make good fghteTs ana can intimidate
the breeds so long as they are leaderle.s.
The Indians throughout the country will
not cause much trouble, and, with the excep-
ton of Piepot, no outbreak will occur. The
Crees are the most numerous and are quiet
and easily kept in order. We're the Black
feet to be found in large numbers they
would perhaps be troublesome, but they are
too few in number to do much damage.
From Qu'Appele, where the troops will
start from to Fort Qu'Appele, the distance
is eighteen miles; from there to Touchwood
Hills, sixty. Humboldt is merely telegraph
station midway between Qu'Appelle and
Prince Albert. Batoisheis is where the trail
crosses the South Saskatchewan fifty miles
from Prince Albert, and at this point there
is large settlement Of breeds. Sometimes
the two Saskatchewan rivers are confounded.
| The North Saskatchewan rises west of Ed
| monton and flows west to Lake Winnipeg.
The South Saskatchewan rises west OF CAL
gary, where it is known as the Bow, and
flows southeast to Medicine Hat, then north
east to a confluence with the North about
| fifty miles northeast of Prince Albert.

Affairs in the soudan.

LONDON, March 2s.-The military papers
severely criticise Gen. Graham's conduct at
Suakim and in the Berber campaign. The
Army and Navy Gazette says at the rate at
which Gen. Graham is making progress it is
safe to calculate that Christmas, 1885, will see
him half way to Berber.
From Dongola comes intelligence of the
dreaded Rhamseen wind which began to
blow Wednesday last The heat is excessive
but it is said the health of the men with Gen.
Wolseley remains good. The Arabs friendly
to Ell Mahdi instead of abandoning the
prophets cause seem to become daily more
hostile to the British in the Soudan, while
the men find it worth their lives to stray from
any British camps beyond the lines of outpost
protection. At Debbeh and Tamai lately no
man attached to the British cause has sue
ceeded in going beyond the outposts without
being grossly insulted or attacked. Several
men who recently strayed from camp at both
places have not returned and have undoubt-
edly been killed.

The Second Fight Unconlrmet

Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, March 2S.-There is no con-
firmation as yet of the report of another en-
gagement and no news Of great interest from
the West. But there have been many rumors
of another engagement between E1bice and
the rebels and of Indian outbreaks, but there
have been no sure foundation in them. 1t
is believed that Col. Irvine Will content him
self with holding Fort Carlton till the militia
force comes up. Private advices say that
Capt. Moore OF Prince Albert, who had leg
broken in Wednesdays fight, is dead. 1t is
feared that the police in Carlton are not well
furnished with provisions, and relief will
have to be afforded them some way before
very long. Gen Mdd Teton is disinclined to
advance from Qu'Appelle with
his present small force, and will
wait until reinforcements arrive
from the east. Military organization is the
Ter Of the day here. The mounted police
are recruiting actively. A new infantry bat
talon is being formed in the city and COM

Rumor.
Special to the Globe
OTTowA, March % One hundred men
from Battery A, Quebec, with two nine
pound guns arrived here at 3:20 O'Clock to-
day, bound for the Northwest via the Cana
dian Pacific railroad. They are in command
of Col Cotton and will join an equal num-
Der from Battery B of Kingston at Carlton
Place, thirty miles west. The men are in
good spirits and express themselves thor
oughly satisfied with the transport service.
The Ottawa field battery, under command of
Maj. Stewart, has been ordered to hold
itself in readiness to proceed to the scene
of the trouble. 1t was reported here to-day
that the mounted police had been again re-
pulsed by the rebels, but the government
at this writing has received no confirmation
of this statement Another rumOr was
current that the town han, in Winnipeg
had been blown up by dynamiters This report
has caused intense excitement. The cabinet
council sat all the morning and afternoon
considering the situation. 1t is understood
that they send out strong military force so
as to check the uprising in its incipiency.
The commissioners appointed by the interior
department to settle the Metis claims are on
their way to the Saskatchewan. Great anxi-
ETY. is felt here lest the Indians
join the insurgents. Although many of
the tribes have expressed their loyalty
to the queen, there is said to be dissatisfied
element whose movements have been
watched with suspicion during the past
twenty-four hours.
KINGSTON, March 2S.-A Kingston and
Pembroke special train with 100 men of B

gathered at the station and cheered vigorously
as the train took its departure.

BERLIN, March 2S.-The Berlin banks are
making large contributions to settle the new
territory called Frederick Wilholm in New
Guinea. Capt. Dali reports the discovery of
harbor there with the capacity to receive
the largest ship, while five rivers flow into
the bay. Funds for defraying the expenses
of transporting and settling the first German
emigrant expedition are provided. The
German African society are about to
send an exploration party into the countries
southwest of the Congo river. A government
officer will accom- pany the party for the pur-
pose of making such annexation as may be

it's share of the capital to 375, 1000 marks and
will give its shareholders in exchange for

Temperance Agitation in Switzerland.

BERNE, March 2s.-The Swiss parliament,
as measure towards the suppression of the
curse of brandy drinking, which has grown
to frightful proportions in the republic since
the wholesale introduction of cheap French
brandies, has passed resolu-
ton restoring to the cantons the
right of local option in regard
to the sale of intoxicating liquors and Civ
ing to the cantons the privilege of imposing
taxes upon domestic manufactured spirits,
in addition to tax ON sales. The can
tonial duty on wine in casks is abolished.
The resolution passed as the result of pro-
found agitation. The best remedy for
drunkenness lies in the encouragement of
the substitution of good cheap wines for
spirits as beverage.

Americans Indignant at the Insults to

PARIS, March 2S.-Marie Van Zandt said

made upon her had so affected her nervous
system that she spent sleepless nights. The

however, consoled her for the injustice of

she hoped to sing again in Paris,

The Situation in France.

PARIS, March 2S.-The leader of the Re-
publican peasant party has warned the
opportunist deputies of a strong reaction TAX
ing place among the French peasantry in all
the provinces of the republics against the
government because of undue influence ex-
isting over it by Prime Minister Ferry. This
feeling of hostility he says owes its origin
principally to the repugnance Of the peas
antry TO the waste of strength of the
republic in improbable and unneces-
sary foreign wars and Immediately
the apparently abortive and costly muddle in
Tonquin. This peasent leader advices the
appointment of deputies to seek and form
an electoral union with the French radicals
and urges that such union will be necessary
in order to prevent the elections in August
next from resulting unfavorably TO the Re-
publicans.
oLLEvIER's VIEWS.
Ollevier, since bis temperance in public
life, has been advising his countrymen to
return to ministerial constitution similar to
that which existed in France under the Sec
ond empire. He argues that the ministers,
to carry on strong and successful govern
ment, should not be responsible,
as now, to parliament, but TO the
single authority of the president
of the republic, for instance. Olivier is
making many converts to his doctrine,
especially among the deputies.
sPECULAToRs HANDLING FLOUR.
The bill increasing the duties on cereals
and cattle, although not yet passed the
French senate has, by its success in the
chamber OF deputies and in the senate COM
mittee which reported it favorably
for consideration, had the effect Of
inducing Spectators to secure control
OF the grain market. As a result of this
-four has been raised in price generally
throughout France francs per sack. The
bakers, in consequence Of this, have in
creased the price Of tread ceBtimes per
kiIo. Il is difficult TO foresee the evil result
which must follow. The French people are
not as whole rich. They are poor and thrifty
and extremely averse to anything that
savors Of e1tortion. The masses cannot ap-
preciate the causes that have brought about
this increase in the cost Of their food. Most
of the people attribute it to the ambition Of
the government to carry on
FOREIGN wARs FOR GLORY.
Besides, trade Is generally much depressed

The Bismarck Gold Mine Excitement.

SPECIAL to the Globe.
BISMARCK, Oak, March 2s.-Over sixty
prospecters went from here to the gold mines
to-day, and several new claims were filed.
No further reports as to the value Of claims
are received. The owners of the land and
those who fled the claims are still
sanguine that the mines will prove
rich in gold. Louis BalaDger, an
experienced miner went to the mines with
twenty-five men and twelve teams. He en-
gagged the men for month at $50 per day.
No assay has been made and many have
doubts as to the value Of the claims. Silver
quartz was brought to the city to-day and on
assay proved to be rich. 1t is claimed that
the silver quartz was found near the city.
Much excitement still prevails, but there are
many doubling ones who place no relianee

commentary here upon the present state of

it says: "The people of Russia regard the

is so many bread riots are threatened in the
large towns. In Lyons and Marseilles Ae
condition of popular feeling against increase
in the price of bread is absolutely dangerous
to the municipal council. In Mar
seilles recently it felt compelled for
the public safety to formally ask the bakers
OF the city to reduce the price of bread
The bakers refused to do this and went SO
far as to threaten to close up the bakeries if
any public action was taken to coerce them
to lower the prices. AS the people generally
depend upon the bakers for bread, the bakers
deemed themselves to be practically beyond
the control of the municipal council It,
however, threatened If the bakers did not
lower the prices
