EXCITEMENT IN THE DOMINION
NOT ABATED.

! hhhkAeh OF SIT JOnn NcDonhlu TO oe seen
on Every Hand and Either Burned or
Pelted with Mud-SherbroOke Has a
Narrow Escape from a Riot.
| QUEBEC. Nov. 10.--A despatch from
st. Anne De La Perade, Chaplain county,
which is the home OF the Quebec Premier,
states that there is intense excitement
there, and on Monday night all the men,
bers Of the federal cabinet we're burned in
eiigy amid the hooting of an immense
crowd.
Tho Chronicle this morning demands
that searching investigation be made
into the escape of Jackson, RiePs secre-
tary, remarking that its manner is amys-
terry but that il must not remain so a day
longer than can be helped as the plea OF
insanity IN his case appears to have been
a dodge. His escape and letters point to
different conclusion.
| lie CGnddien says:
"Jackson's flight, which has followed at
no great distance of time his acquittal
upon demand of the crown, so infleXible
with regard to Riel, is exceedingly elo-
quent. What irony! What bloody
| parody on justicel jackson, the accom-
| plice of Mondays victim, lives the life OF
citizen while Riel died on the scatlold."
MASSES FOR RIEL's SOUL.
| Solemn masses will be chanted in many
| churches in the outlying parishes Tor the
| repose OF the soul of Louis Riel. A move
ment has been organized TO ascertain the
sentiment of each county in the Quebec
district on the Riel question. Calls have
been issued for public meetings.

French students' Kiel demonstration here
last night, w. IL. Arnton, an auctioneer,

demning the government for executing
Riel.

ON THE VERGE OF A CONFLICT.
There were from 1000 to 10000 persons
present at the final meeting OF the Riel
defense fund committee on the Champs
de Mars tonight. l.. o. David presided.
! Among the speakers were Hon. Mr.. La
Flamme and Hon. Mr.. Mercier. Resolu-
tions were passed cOndemning the gov
ernment for the execution Of kiel. After
the meeting about 800 French Canadians
! started procession along Craig street
toward the west end. When they reached
Cole street Mayor Beaugrand drove up in
a carriage, and at his request one Of the
Liberal leaders warned the crowd not to
90 any farther west, as 800 young Eng
lishmen we're waiting for them. They
shouted that they were not afraid, but the
crowd Of 800 soon melted away. The
! Englishmen had pickets stationed at GER
tain points in the west end, and were in
formed as to the movements of the stu
dents by telephone. The action OF the
! Mayor prevented a collision of the two
| parties. All Is now quiet.
M'GILL STUDENTS UNDEMoNsTRATIvE
The students of McGill University have
/ decided not TO participate in any demon
| stratiOns in connection with the execu-
tiOn OF Riel. A dispatch from Terre
B0nne says that stores are closed there,
and Grape hangs on every door. The idea
| Of having the remains OF Riel conveyed TO
Montreal is gradually being abandoned.
! Several Aldermen to-day waited upon the
Chairman of the Police Committee and
| informed him that IL was incum bent upon
the authorities 10 put stop to the noisy
demonstrations, which are becoming a
nuisance TO peaceable citizens, and might
in the future lead TO serious
breach Of the peace. The Chairman
accordingly gave orders TO the chief Of
police who has written the Laval
and Victoria authorities notifying them
that further demonstrations must be pre-
vented.
THE GOVERNMENT CHARGED WITH
DECEIT.
A general meeting OF citizens of all
natIonalities was held this afternoon
when a committee OF twenty-eight repre-
sentative citizens we're appointed 10 namo
speakers for the proposed mass meeting
on Sunday. Some OF the speakers to-day
accused the government Of deceiVing the
French-Canadians by appearing TO wish
for the appointment Of a medical com.
mission when IL was promised the
Orangemen that Riel should hang.
