that the. committee of the trustees

Louis David Riel was hanged at

last. He spent almost the whole of
the night previous with his spiritual
advisers, but near morning he slept
soundly. No one was permitted to
come within mile of the jail with
out pass. Shortly after eight Rel
went to the scaffold with Pere Andre
and Father McWilliams, wearing Il
loose woclen surtout, gray trousers,
wooden shirt and moccasins, and his
beard shaved. He received the no.
tice TO 90 TO the scaffold as calmly as
he received the death warrant the
night before. His face was full of
color and he responded clearly. AT
the priests solicitation he made no
speech, though at the last he seemed
to wish to: but Father Andre inter
rupted him, and, praying, he went to
the scaffold. His last words were
"Merci Jesu," and he died without
struggle. Only twenty witnesses
were present. The coroner took the
body. The execution was full of de-
corum and dispatch.

GALVESTON IN ASHES.

The most destructive fire in the
history of the city of Galveston,
Texas, broke out in a foundry and
car repairing shop, Nov. 18th. The
fire ragged all day and in its course
swept away over 400 houses leaving
1000 families homeless. The suffer
ers include the poorest as well as the
richest people in the city; and the
great majority of those who lost any
thing lost all. Nearly 100 acres were
burned over and 401a blocks were
swept clean of everything combusti-
Bile. The latter estimates put the
total loss at $2.000,000.
The fire broke out at 1.20 O'Clock
a. M, and spread with unchecked
fury until o'clock p. M, when the
wind went down. The fire depart
ment became utterly helpless and
the water works gave poor satisfac-
ton.
So far as can be learned not sim
Gle accident occurred notwithstand-
ing the fearful panic that prevailed.
The scene during the progress of the
fire was simply frightful. The wind
rose to screaming gale in the vicin-
ity of the fire and swept through the
burning belt in terrific swirls, carry
ing millions of live cinders high up
in the air and raining them down q
mile distant over the wooden city
and it's panic-stricken inhabitants.
The entire east end Of the city
scarcely contains a dozen brick
dwellings. All is wood and it burn
ed with indescribable fury.
Some of the residences destroyed
were among the finest in the South
The fire did not reach the business
portion of the city. Galveston has
been known as one of the handsom
est cities in the country. The citi
zens are full of courage. Business
continues and word comes that the
burned district will be rebuilt.

On Nov. 10th the British cabinet issued
formal declaration of war against Bur-
NAH. The French government and the
Burmese minister resident of Paris have
been notified. All foreign subjects re-
naming in Burmah are required to come
into the Bsitish lines. The British army
of invasion is advancing, 900 strong,
the greater portion on steamers: The
first military operation will be the bonn
| bardment by the iron-elad fiotilla of the
| Mimbla forts. King TheebaW, in his re-
| ply to the British ultimatum, says that,
! if the Bombay and Burmah company will
humbly petition him, he will consider the
| companys case, as he wishes to encous-
age traders. The last British resident
he says, departed from Mandalay OF his
own accord; but England is welcome to
send another on the former conditions.
This reply ignores the demand that the
residents have safe escort and free access
to the king.
