FRENCH CANADIAN FOOLISHNESS.
The French Canadians Laying Claim to
the State of Maine.

MONTREAL, Que, Nov. 80.
Some of the French conservative papers in
the vicinity of Montreal are urging the gov
ernment to take steps to assert Canada's claim
to the state of Maine. which they allege is a
lust one. This movement is, of course, start
ed to withdraw the attention of the people
from the Riel affair, and to allow French
members of Parliament to return to their
former allegiance without compromising
themselves with their constituents. The
French press of Montreal has fallen into the
trap and is gravely debating whether the
American government would be willing to
accept compensation in money for the terri
tory Canada would receive by the rectifcation
of the frontier.

FATAL RIOT.
Negro and White Miners Engage in a
PromiscuOus Fight in Missouri Town
Two Men Killed.

ST.. LOUIS. Nov. 20.
News has reached the city from Bevier,
mining town in Macon county, of a serious
riot that took place there, Saturday night, be-
tween white and black miners which resulted
in the killing of two men and the serious in
Jury of several others. The miners struck
some time ago when the owners of the mine
procured lot of negroes and put them to
work. Since then there have been frequent
disturbances and the negroes were provided
with a regular stockade to protect them from
assault from strikers. The trouble Saturday
commenced at 4.3O P. NJ, when the negro
drivers were returning with their mules from
the mines to the stable. As the drivers passed
near the railroad depot a crowd of about rs
white miners who were standing on the depot
platform, commenced to throw rocks and fo.
lowed them up the street for several blocks.
The negroes then tried to turn their mules
and drive them back to the mines. When in
front of Watson's store some person fired a
revolver and in few minutes afterward a
volley of bullets was fired at the black driv-
ers. An eye witness states that not less than
fifty persons had revolvers. The drivers had
then returned almost to the mine when one
of them fell from his mule. He was carried
into Thomas Jones' house where it was found
that he was shot in the side and in a few min
uteS he was dead. by tnls time the otner
drivers had reached the stockade, secured
their rifles and commenced firing at the
whites. For nearly half an hour this prom
iscuous shooting was carried on, the number
of whites having in the meantime greatly in
creased One of them, John Martin. was
struck by bullet from the stockade and in
stantly killed. The bali passed through his
chest. Several negroes were also wounded
During all this time it seems that the author
tiles made no effort to check the riot. Two
deputy sheriffs and the town marshals were
present and it is even stated that they took
part in the trouble.

THE EGYPTIAN TROUBLE.
The Mahdi's Prestige Increased Rather
than Diminished by his Death.

CAIRO, Nov. 80.
The following is an extract from a recent
letter from British officer stationed at
Assouan
The Mahdi's death, instead of decreasing
his prestige, has increased it. His tomb has
become the center of fanaticism. His mantle
has fallen on Khalifa Aklula Ell Taasha. who
Yields authority by direct legacy from Ma.
hommet Achemet, and whose claim is recog
nized With the fall Of the garrison immense
quantities of ammunition in the arsenal at
Khartoum. skilled artisans. and material for
steamer building have fallen into the hands
of the rebels, who are about TO organize a
steamer route between Seminar, Khartoum,
Berber, and Dongols. They have unlimited
camels, and all craft on the river south of
Abaaftmeh. The enemy may now BE- said
to be in contact with the English outpost
at Koshel. and they have all necessary for an
advance except the important item Of food.
l. a months time the crop will be gathered
and with the province of Sennar in their
hands they will have all they require as
thev advance north. The regular governors
of districts are appointed, and men are sent
forward to count date trees, measure fields
under cultivation, and levy taxes. They
have adopted conciliatory policy towards
the people of Dongola. Men well known az
having been 10 the employ of the British are
being placed in responsible posts. The Arabs
are now with the rebels heart and soul. Re-
cent heavy rains have filled the tanks and
wells, and it is not impossible that the Der
wish army will advance and, evading the
British outposts, take the desert route and
make a direct attack on lower Egypt, leaving
the English garrison in a critical position.
Any reverse at a small post would no doubt
set against England the Absdeh and Asba-
reen tribes, now wsvering in their allegiance.
1t is no longer the question Of putting of.
but il is an absolute necessity to crush for
ever the increasing power of the Mahdi.
