Ex-senator Cameron and family leave in a

for departure approaches, is somewhat doubt
full just how active part he may take in the
work of his law firm. He is evidently
enjoying his rest after ten years of work in
the senate, which he has had, and probably
may not resume active labor for some
months. There are many expressions Of
genuine regret that the very pleasant home

TORONTO, March 31.-The excitement

setting forth that the committee was not in
any wise responsible for the publication of
paper purporting to be further report on
the postal telegraph question and which con-
tanned newspaper criticisms of the Associated
Press.
On motion of Senator Van Wyck the SEN
ate took up the report by that gentleman
from the committee on Mississippi river i'm
provements, providing for the repeal of all
resolutions passed since March 8, and au-
thorizing committees to sit during the recess

The resolution led to general discussion
of the subject of the expenditures of this con-

of the senate as compared with the house.
The discussion took wide range, and at its
close the resolution was laid over until to-
morrow. The senate went into executive
session and soon after adjourned.

A Senator from His Own State Don't Know
the New Minister to Peru.

"A SenaCOf IfOln Ills OWN SEdtc DOh hAAO"
the New Minister to Peru.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 31.-The Kentucky
delegation were treated to genuine surprise
to-day when it was found that Charles w.
Buck, accredited to that state, had been ap-
pointed minister to Peru. This is second
class mission, and about the best on the
continent Of America. As each member OF
the delegation was met, the conundrum was
asked, 'Who is Buck?" No one seemed
to know him, and Senator Beck de-
clared he did not live in the state.
He said, 81 went this morning to Bayard
and protested not against Buck, for l dom s
know him, but against his being permitted
to crowd out men who are known to the
party, and who have been recommended by
Democrats. MrsBuck may be very clever
man. Perhaps heds, but 1 don't know any
thing in the world about him." Sub
sequently it was developed that the
aforesaid Buck was !. in the city. Then
it was found upon further
comparison of notes that he had visited each
member of the Kentucky delegationand each
had signed his name to Bucks petition for
something they knew not. 1t was signed by
all hands as a perfunctory act, and that
Buck had the written Endorsement of many
blue grass statesmen. Not one of them
really desired him to get anything. The ap-
pointment cut Kentucky out of a good for
eign billet

Inside View of the Cause of the Trouble
Special TO the Globe.

DEVILS LAKE, Oak, March 31.-The
Daily Iuter-Ocean of this evening has the
| following concerning the Riel revolt
Mr.. j. B. Sinclair of Bottneau, who has
just returned from Ottawa, was in the city
Yesterday, and gave the Inter-Ocean an in
teresting account of the situation in the
Northwest territory, where Riel is now lead
ing rebellion against the Canadian author;-
ties. Mr.. Sinclair is now a surveyor, and
! helped TO survey the lands along the Sas-
katchewan, in the region which is now the
scene of the revolt. He saws Riers actual
following cannot be more than 400 men,
! but the old rebel has the earnest sympathy
Ot fully one-hali the white settlers in the
| Saskatchewan country, for the reason that
l,iel is Contendiug for tue same rights long
demanded by the settlers. Men have been
disposessed of their homes In that country by
Ottawan edicts Grants OF the best lands
have been made by the government since it
was Surveyed and opened for settlement,
and MANY who have made improvements
have been compelled from time TO time 10
give way to corporations and favored
individuals. Many half-breeds and Indians
who have come into possession of lands by
treaty have suffered similarly. This, how
ever, is only part Of the cause of the Riel
uprising. The lands originally given to the
Indians and half-breeds were divided so that
each person had frontage on the river of
II TO - chains, the strip running back about
two miles. When later on the government
surveys were made the old divisions were
disregarded, leaving many Of the half-b
aud Indians without their much priced river
frontage.
Another cause Is stated to be that the
Northwest territory Is totally without repre-
seutatOn at Ottawa. The government will
not give the people Of that country 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
conflict at OF near the forks of the Saskatche-
wan river, and distant from Winnipeg
nearly 600 miles northwest. An examiua-
tion Of the map shows that it is about the
same from DEVILS lake. so that timid per-
sons who may fear the rebellion will spread
this way can quiet their nerves and proceed
about their business. Mr.. Sinclair predicts
that when It becomes too warm for RieI he

as in the past few days. The sixty-ffth uat-
talon, 300 strong, drilled at the old city hall
all morning. From them the surgeons Sc
lected $50 men for the front. The corps was
addressed by Maj. Sugas, who aroused great
enthusiasm. Col. Quimet and other officers
have great trouble in procuring chargers for
the campaign. Assistant General Manager
Shaughnessy Of the Canadian Pacific railway
says the gap on the Lake Superior section
will be completed by the 10th of April. Be-
tween Monday and / Friday last week twelve

Rumors of a Fenian Invasion.

MONTREAL, March 30.-Rumors that Fen

as special instructions have been issued to
commanders of the frontier corps to prepare

raid returned from a tour ofinspection along
the frontier and reports an unusual number
of suspicious fellows at st. Adams, Fort

ernment and the militia by all means to be

requisite for force in the field. They will

between Ottawa and Winnipeg on which the
rails have not been laid. No one in Canada,
Mr.. Lawrence says, will now regret the rapid
construction of the Canadian Pacific around
the north shore of Lake Superior, by which
thousands of dollars will be saved to the
country. The feeling is generally good in the
East. The national spirit has been evoked, and
from all quarters the government is receiv-
ing the warmest commentators of its course
and Offering services, which shows that the
military spirit of the country has been
aroused. There is in no quarter the slightest
sympathy for Riel. The French Canadians
and British Canadians are united in the de-
termination to settle this matter once for all,
and thousands of volunteers are ready to
take the field if necessary to put down the
rebellion.

Let Him Read Our Winnipeg Special.

A. s. Washburn, the deputy provincial
treasurer, of Winnipeg, was in Minneapolis
yesterday. To a friend he impaired the in
formation that the Indians will not ally
themselves with the rebellion, and that there
are now only from 1000 to 1,5OO half-breeds
identified with the outbreak. In his opinion
the rebellion will soon be put down by Mid
dleton and his forces and that Riel will then
take refuge in the states. He also believed
that the half-breeds had some justification
for their conduct, but that as soon as the
rebellion is put down he felt confident the
madam government will make compromise
or perfectly satisfactory adjustment of all
difficulties, so that no injustice will in the
future be done the half breeds.

PHILADELPHIA, Penn, March 31.-The
Times independently will say: President
Cleveland has planted land mark of reform
by the reappointment of Postmaster Pearson
of New York, so towering in its proportions
that it can be seen and understood
from Maine to CALIFORNIA. 1t is a
lesson that the regular partisans will
not welcome. 1t is a tribute to honest gov
ernment that the whole country will heartily
applaud. There will be some Democratic
disappointment and discomfort over Pear
sons denomination, but there will be much
greater qualification and Cancellation in re-
form Republican circles, and the profit will
largely overbalance the loss.
