THE MANITOBA REBELLION.

J. M. Rae, Indian agent at Battleford, ar
rived at Winnipeg last Friday. He is in
clined to take very gloomy view of the
situation. He thinks that all the Indians
will be up in arms and that bloody Indian
war is unavoidable. He says the Indians
are we'll armed and trained. The Govern
ment, he says, entirely undertakes the
strength of the Indians and the seriousness of
the situation. The Indians with bows and
arrows will fight as we'll as troops. He
thinks the whole country will be aroused
and all tribes put on the war path. The In
dians do not fight like white men, and they
would be most formidable enemies. He
did not consider Factor Mclean and the
other white captives had any chance of es-
cape in the world. They might be alive
vet, but would be sure to be murdered after
the first battle took place in which Big Bear
was interested.
The following dispatch from Winnipeg
gives the situation at latest dates:
Reports from the front are to the effect
that a battle between Middletons forces
and Riel, at Batouche, has been raging since
yesterday morning. 1t began by the can
VI lllc anu COL III WI VI viz
insurgents by Middleton's artillery corps.
The result so far is understood to be a drawn
battle. An attempt will probably be made,
when the works have been reduced, to storm
the position simultaneously from front and
flank, when frightful fatalities are likely to
result, as the enemy are we'll armed and
deadly in aim.
During the battle one of Middleton's bat
teries was almost surprised by number of
Rebels, who crept up through the bush, not
being discovered until but twenty yards dis
tant They made rush for the guns, firing
and yelling as they ran. Capt. Howard,
who operates the Gatling gun, saw the dan
ger, ran the gun couple of yards in front
of the battery and opening fire literally
moved the Rebels down. Those remaining
turned and ran from the gun. Reaching
the shelter of the bush they opened fire
again and Howard's escape from injury was
marvellous. The bullets were flying all
around him, but he gallantly maintained his
position, and the Rebels, unable to stand the
terrible fire, returned to their pits construct
ed in a ravine running from the river. At
ter a gallant but vain effort to drive the
Rebels from the rifle pits the French scouts
and battery men retired. Middleton's loss
was killed and wounded.

CROP REPORTS.

The May report Of the Department of Ag-
riculture at Washington, issued last Friday,
relates to the progress of spring plowing,
and of cotton planting and to the condition
of winter grain, meadows and pastures. 1t
also reports prevailing rates of wages Of
farm labor.
Cotton planting, though comparatively
late is well advanced, fully four-ifths of the
proposed area having been planted. The
usual proportion Of seed on the first of May
is probably five per cent. greater. Lastyear
but two-thirds Of the area was in germina-
tion at this date. The rains in Texas have
was begun late, but the progress has at most
points been unusually rapid. The plants
have been slow in termination on the dry
areas and have not yet made their ap-
pearance at many points.
Spring plowing in preparation for plant
ing is everywhere late. Last year at this
date it was estimated to be two-thirds done.
This year it is scarcely siX-tenths. The
estimated average of a series of years eX-
ceeds seven-tenths. Less than half of this
work is done in the Eastern States. In New
York, Ohio and Michigan, much larger
proportion is furnished. In the northwest
where corn, potatoes and other late planted
crops are grown the work is in smaller
proportions.
The injury to winter wheat crops was
greater than appearances indicated on the
first of April. The roots were killed in the
central belt, even worse than was supposed.
In New York the snow protection was am
pie except in spots, and in Michigan no
material injury occurred, but in the Ohio
Valley and in Missouri, the reports Of the
condition are much reduced. In the South
a slight improvement in the prospect has
occurred. The average of the condition in
the principal wheat growing States is as
follows: New York, 9G; Michigan, 100;
Ohio, 50; Kentucky, As; Indiana, 70; Illi-
nois, 42; Missouri, 60; Kansas, G2. The gen.
eral average is 10, instead of II in April, a
reduction of nine per cent: The reports in
dicated the production of winter wheat to
reach two hundred and fifty million bushels.
AN INDIAN EXECUTION.-Mitchel An
derson, a Choctaw Indian II years old, was
executed at Fort Smith, Arkansas, on Thurs
day last, according to the custom of that
nation for the murder of another Choctaw
boy named Winchester, last summer. An
derson was convicted in the Court Of the
Masabaltoubee district, and was sentenced
in February last. He shot Winchester while
the latter was passing along lonely road,
and then horribly mutilated his body and
secured $15. The condemned youth was
seated on a blanket in an open space with
a piece of white paper pinned over his
heart. The executioner knelt before him,
and with one shot killed him. Anderson
denied his guilt until within the last few
days, when the decision reached by the
Supreme Judge convinced him that there
was no hope, when he acknowledged his
guilt and said his father was the instigator
of his crime.

tion of a monster war balloon for the use
of the government, and Gen. Russell Thay-
er, of Philadelphia, the inventor, has re-
ceived instructions to begin the work. The
board recommends that balloon of seven
tons ascending force be constructed and
that trials be made with it. 1t will cost
nearly $4,000 It will be the largest balloon
ever constructed, with diameter OF 60 feet
and length of 1S5 feet. The "dirigible
war balloon" asst is called, is a cigar shaped
machine pointed at both ends, and unlike
ordinary. balloons, will sail through the air
longitudinally. 1t is about three times as
long as it is wide. General Thayer claims
that he can lay city in ashes with it in
night. Tons of dynamite percussion
bombs may be carried into the clouds and
dropped while the balloon sails over camp
or fortifcation or fleet of ships.
Moses Cation was hanged at Morganfield,
XIV, last Friday. The usual exercises were
observed on the scaffold. A great crowd of
people gathered to witness the hanging.
The execution was to have been private,
but the people of Union county threatened
that if a fence was built around the scaffold
they would tear it down. 1t was thought
best to allow the public to crafty their Gu
riosity. Cation protested his innocence. The
crime of which he was convicted was slow
torture and finally murder of widow, aided
bya woman, whom he had married in order
to secure little property and whom he had
taken to his home to live with. The woman
was named Fritz. This woman had been
living with Cation. She has been sent to the
penitentiary for life for her connection with
the murder, and the trial of Caton's two sons
as accomplices will begin soon.
1t now looks as if Miss Ada Sweet, the
pension agent at Chicago, will retain her
office, despite Commissioner Blacks re-
quest for her to resign. The President has

whom there are but eighteen), ana MISS

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

The sudden and generally unexpected
change in the aspect of the dispute between
England and Russia has worked very con-
siderable change in opinion as to the business
outlook here We never had any faith in the
expectation that war-at least under pres
ent currency conditions-cOuld be Of benefit
to trade in this country. And yet the pre-
yailing beliefdid not accord with that view;
hope, born it may be of desperation, eX-
listed, the loss of which has left very many
of our leading markets with much tlatter
tone than was apparent week ago. But
other than that, nearly all conditions re-
main as heretofore. Even with regard to
the crops, there is very little that is new.
The season is still backward everywhere
an unusually cold wave with snow and ice
being reported in the northwest as we
write-though there may be nothing un-
favorable in such conditions if the summer
proves an average one. Yet the start in
wheat has been so disappointing that dis
position exists even now to accept gloomy
forecast of the corn prospect, because plant
ing has been so much delayed. That only
serves to indicate the state the public mind
is reduced to, which looks forward months
to find a basis of adverse assumption. Tele-
grams show that cotton is developing finely.
Increased caution has been further in
rency We have remarked upon one phase
of this question in subsequent column, and
gave reasons therefor believing that the
public is unduly disturbed. Of course, the
further advance in sterling exchange natu-
rally increases the unsettled feeling. But it
should be remembered that the banks are
very strong and they would easily bear
foreign drain of twenty million dollars or
more. And although one cannot but lament
the folly that thus drives capital away from
us, at time when we are in the depths of
commercial distress, yet our readers have
the consciousness of knowing that they have
fought faithfully against the encroaching
evil, and though they must suffer with the
rest, they are at least not the cause of it.
Could our people only learn by this expe-
rience the unwisdom Of attempting. to fix
values by statute, or of interfering in any
wav with the natural movements of money
in its work of effecting exchanges, the ex-
perience would not be dearly bought.-New
York Financial Chronicle.
