WINNIPEG, March ga fight oc.
cured yesterday between Major Gro,

Riel. Eight mounted police and fifteen
rebels were killed. Many were wound.
ed on both sides. Another report SAYS
Crozier's entire force was captured by
Riel. The whole country is in an up,
roar. The farmers are drilling for ser.
vice. The rebel army has been aug

All Indian bands are becoming uneasy
and a general uprising is expected.

Saskatchewan in the past two days.

bard, of Winnipeg, "as a man of very
little ability, but he has been kept up
by the same influences that led to his
former rebellion. He is looked up to
by many of the full breeds, as we call
them there, as a leader, and it is to work
these through his influence that Riel is
made a tool by the sam parties who
controlled him in his other outbreak. l
assure you that certain religious powers
are at the bottom of the whole trouble.
Riel is made the tool of church poten.
tates. who expect to gain certain meas
ures by the course Riel is pursuing.
But he cannot be successful. His act
is more suicidal to himself than the first
rebellion, The country he has taken a
stand in is against success. Prince AL.

country to fall back on, and so situated
that he cannot cross to the American

RIEL's CAUSE.
Why the Old Rebel Goes to War
with Canada.

Why the Old Rebel Goes to Wal
with Canada.
Dir. j. B. Sinclair, of Bottineau. who
has just returned from Ottawa, wa in
the city yesterday and gave the INTER,
OCEAN an interesting account of the sit
uation in the Northwest Territory
where Riel is now leading a rebellion
against the Canadian authorities. Mr.
Sinclair is a surveyor and helped to sur
vey the lands along the Saskatchewan
in the region which is now the scene Of
revolt. He says Riel's actual following
cannot be more than 400 men, but the
old rebel has the earnest sympathy Of
fully one-half the white settlers in the
Saskatchewan country, for the reason
that Riel is contending for the same
rights long demanded by the settlers,
Men have been disposed oftheir homes
in that country by Ottawan edicts.
Grants of the best lands have been made
by the government since it was sur.
veyed and opened for settlement, and
many who had made improvements
have been compelled from time to time
to give way to corporations and favored
individuals. Many half breeds and In.
dians who have come into possession OF
lands by treaty have suffered similarly.
This, however, is only a part of the
cause of the Riel uprising. The lands
originally given to the Indians and halt
breeds were divided 50 that each had a
frontage on the river of IL to Is chains;
the strip running back about two miles.
When, later on, the government sur.
veys were made, the old divisions were
disregarded, leaving many of the hall
breeds and Indians without their much
priced river frontage.
Another cause is stated to be that the
Northwest Territory IS totally without
representation at Ottawa. The govern.
ment will not give the people of that
country a voice in dominion affairs, and
they are practically without government
of any kind except that exercised by
military authority from the agency
posts.
Mr.. Sinclair locates the scene of con.
aict at or near the forks of the Sas.
katchewan river, and distant from Win
nipeg nearly six hundred miles north.
west. An examination of the map
shows that it is about the same distance
from Devils Lake; so that timid persons
who may fear the rebellion will spread
this way can quiet their nerves and pro-
coed about their business. Mr.. Sin.
clair predicts that when it becomes toe
warm for Riel he will skip to Montana.

Our Jail.

The escape Of Jameson from the
county Jail is conclusive evidence that
Ramsey county is sadly lacking in it's
facilities for keeping criminals, and the
commissioners should inquire into the
subject at once. With a term of court
in this city, and the attendant liability
of there being numerous prisoners to
care for from other counties, there
should certainly be some assurance that
they will not escape.
