TIE REL REBELLION.
Much Depends on General Middleton Win
ming victory Over the Half
Hreeds

sT. PAUL MINI, May lin an interview
with Associated Press reporter last night,
John McLane, OF Bismarck, OAK, jQst re.
turned from Winnipeg where he had been
delivering horses, teams and supplies to the
Canadian Government, said 1.-The govern
ment has advices that men from Chicago,
New York and Boston are with Riel, and that
q master mind, not Rlels, is directing the
movements of the half breeds. Old timers
regard General Middleton's success at Bat
touche as absolutely necessary to prevent the
Indians from uprising en- masse Supplies
sre short, and about all come from this side
OF the line. North Dakota is near being
drained of horses oats. etc. 1t is believed
there are about 500 half breeds in the field.
Six thousand Indians are ready to take the
war path, and but 600 troops to oppose
them.''
General Crooks, one of the heroes of Min
nesota Indian wars, and Judge of the mill
tary commission that condemned 800 Sioux
to death, thirty eight of whom were hanged
at Manksta shortly after the massacre there,
was interviewed by an Associated Press re-
porter this evening as to the outlook for a
general Indian uprising in the North west
Territories because of his familiarity with
the Indian character. Hs says Middleton
must achieve decisive victory, or ali the
Indians will have on war paint in q week.
Should the hsif-breeds achieve a signal VIC
tory over Middleton, the result could be- but
most disastrous He said the best plan of
attack, from this distance OF observation,
would bs to weaken the works by shot, scat.
ter the breeds by shell from the front and
flank, have Irvine fall In upon the rear with
bis 300 mounted police force, throw the en-
envy into disorder, mass them If possible.
then rake them with Gatlings, rifles, and
shot and she'll untii disordered, then storm
their works. This would doubtless cost many
good lives, as tie enemy are merry and fine
shots, being trained hunters, but the end to
be attained is go desirable and necessary that
the troops must be sacrificed, otherwise the
whole country would be swept by savages,
vino are liable to go on the war path on the
principle of throwing their lives away, in
which case they would spare no women or
children. He added that, whatever griev-
ances the half breeds may have when they
incite meIciless savsgss they are entitled to
no sympathy from Christian civilization.

INDIANA is having hard time of it this year.
Not only has the President failed to lift Hooser
TO a Cabinet place, bat now the Secretary of the
Treasury bas ordered the sus. ension of the manu-.
facture of those nice crisp 81 bills that have done
so much In the past 10 alleviate the sorrows OF In
dianisns. This last move looks like disfraIchise-
ment 10 the average Hoosier.-Caicago News.
One would think that Republican paper
dare hardly alIude to 81 bills, so intimately
connected are they with the rascalities of In.
diana Republicsnism. The Republican vic.
tory (?) of 1880 and 81 bills stand out for one
and the same thing. They should be en-
twined into sort of coat.of-arms and go
down the ages together.

The New York Times says:

The President seems TO have made another ex-
cellent selection in bis appointment Of George V
N. Lotnrop, OF Michigan, to be Minister to Russia
He showed the same good judgment That has
usually been displayed when the .'slate' made up
for him has been ignored and the politicians sur
prised. The surprise may be mingled with some
disappointment, but there rs apparently no chance
for criticism. 1t is the advantage of appointments
in which fitness alone is considered that nobody
can complain because less worthy applicants are
passed over. very reputable and capable repre-
sentative of the coiored race has been found for
the position OF Minister 10 Hayti in place of the
altogether disreputable Mr.. Williams. who was
selected for the place before the present minis
trsion came in. II is gratifying to be able TO add
that the Administration has corrected one of its
mistakes by deciding 10 withhold the COM
mission of Consul at Nagasaki from Dr. j. K
Meere. The State Department has become con-
WINGED that he is unworthy OF the place.
