He Abuses the President and the Ameri-
can Government.

New YORK, November 1.-THE irish
World in it's next issue will publish a long
letter from Louis Riel, under date OF
Batouche, May 9th last. The editor prefaces
it by saying that it reached him May 18th.
As Riel was then a prisoner, it's publication
withheld. lest it should prejudice Riers
case. 1t contains nothing new, being de-
voted to q repetition OF the oft-told tale OF
the half-breeds' wrongs, and to IL
of England and Englishmen.
He accuses them OF land robberies
in the North West, in Ireland, Scotland,
India, Australia and the islands OF the In
dian ocean, and even in the United States.
He saws this Government has permitted
them to reconquer, without protest, by oc-
cupancy and for sale grazing land, enough
to make several States, and charges Presi-
dent Cleveland and Secretary Bayard with
putting the United States in the position
OF an ally OF England in putting down the
North-Wes rebellion by allowing British
soldiers and ammunition to pass over
American railroads, and permitting the
Federal soldiers to teach the Queens Own
the use OF the Gatllng gun.

and John Nelson, employees OF the Northern
Pacific Railway, while walking next to the
foot hills about 200 yards north OF the

Thomas Morrin, a railroad man, that he
had noticed that the nan who had
lived there for about a week
preceding the fire was about 5 feet,
9 inches, weighing about $50 pounds,
brown beard and slouchy clothes. No one
knows who the deceased was or anything
about him. Coroner Farman held an In
quest this evening. The verdict was h a

Prince Alexander Issues Another
Proclamation, Declaring 10y
atty to Turkey.

VIENNA, November 17.-Alexander. OF
Bulgaria, has sent a note to the Powers as
follows: Bulgaria, after espousing the
Roumelian cause, did her utmost to ON
ply with the decision OF the ambassadors
and to prevent M agitation. She sees
now the Servian invasion, without Servia
sending through the Porte, the only con
petent channel, an ultimatum in conform
ity with the international law" Will Eu-
rope, who is anxious, and Turkey, Ii is
Jealous. infringe on the principle OF that i'll
tegrity?
The Powers know whence the aggression
emanated. Bulgaria as a vassal is unable
to declare war, and has addressed the Sui
directly on the matter, without getting
a reply. She has ordered NJ. Tzawiff, her
special envoy at Constantinople, to demand
a reply from Said Pasha, the Turkish Min
lister OF Foreign Affairs. Bulgaria has not
violated the integrity OF Turkey, because
Bulgaria and Eastern Roumelia belong to
Turkey, whilst Servia is an independent
state and violates the integrity OF Turkey
for territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT at the ex-
pense Ut Bulgaria to satisfy the Servian
ambition and egotism. Bulgaria relies on
the sense Of justice OF the Powers, as
Europe must speak the last word on the
question:"
A SERvIAN VICTORY.
BELGRADE, November II. - General
TopalOvitch, with the Moravia division,
had a desperate battle with the Bulgarians
at Tn, and the latter were totally de-
feated. The Servians fought with great
gallantry, and captured two guns and
many prisoners. Abattalion OF volunteers
stationed at a point on the Timok river
capitulated without firing a gun to Colonel
D'Juknitich, commanding the Servian
Tomok division. The Bulgarians yesterday
evacuated their fortified position at Drago-
man, which the Servians attacked on Sun
day. TIT details OF the capture of the
Dragoman Pass by the Servians shows
that the Drina and Shumadga divisions,
under Colonies Michkovitch and Benecky,
were engaged and attacked the Bulgarians
in force, completely routing them. Hordes
Of Bulgarians laid down their arms, being
panic stricken. Several guns were captured
and the pass abandoned. s~
THOUSAND PRISONERS.
A Servian division marching on Widdin
gave battle to the Bulgarians lee Widdin,
and inflicted upon them a brushing defeat.
The loss is heavy on both sides. The
Servians captured 1000 prisoners.

SALEM, November 1.-THE Oregon Leg

United States Senator. The vote stood,
Republican vote. = Inc DCuIOa ucss" w.
solidly for James H. Slater. There are 80
members of the Legislature, requiring 46 to
elect. Mitchell claims that he will be elected
tomorrow. On the other hand, his oppo-
nents say he will meet the samed determined
opposition OF the minority, which defeated
him three years ago after he had received
the caucus nomination, and that he cannot
get enough Democratic votes to elect him.
It is not believed that Williams can be
elected, and the opinion prevails that some
sort OF a compromise will be reached by the
contending factions. Governor Moody is
everywhere mentioned as the clark horse.'

YORK: One OF them played his game on a
prominent mining man, Friday evening
last, IN the highest style of the art, and got
on WIN II, too. The gentlemanin question
has a stylish family residence and his deal
ings with SO many persons that he is known
TO every one in the city for his liberalitv.
ana wlthal ne is not n of those suspicious
persons who are hard to approach. He
mad left the mine about 4 o'clock and had
Just sat down to his dinner, when there
came a knock at the door, which was an
swered by the servant, who was informed
thai the visitor desired to see the proprie-
tor Of the house. He was seated in the
parlor, and in a few minutes the mining
man appeared. The stranger arose and
hands with him, calling him by name.
He then proceeded to explain that he was
one OF the party of engineers who was en-.
gagged in surveying for the line OF the North
ern Pacific Railroad from Garrison to
Butte, and being a stranger in town, with
his chief out Of the city. he had run short
OF funds, and his board falling due the fol-
lowing day, it would be a great favor if
the mining man would let him have SO
until Monday, when his superior would be
in town with money to pay him of. Think
ing from his frank manner that
the man was all right. he put
his hand in his pocket and produced
the required amount. He went back to his
meal, and thought no more of the matter,
until an hour or so later he was again called
upon by the same party, who made all
manner of excuses about losing the money
through q hole in his pocket before he had
call upon, he would like to have another
eagle. This was too much, and gave the
trick away. The ire of the mining man was
aroused, and he would have made a mop
Of the stranger had not the latter been too
fleet OF foot and escaped. 1t afterwards
developed that the man had no connection
with the survey party. and was merely
working his game upon the gentleman's lib
erality.
ANOTHER DODGE.
On Saturday q similar dodge was played
upon a Park street butcher. A rough look
ing fellow came into the shop, and said that
he was working for a cattle man who had
been selling some beef t., the shop, and had
been having too much 'fun in town" for the
amount of money he had with him, result
ing in his being broke. He only wanted 81
to pay a stable bill on his horse, so that he
could 60 home. The butcher was victim
