EIGHT INDIANS HANeED.-At Battle
ford, Northwest Territory, last Friday eight
Indians were hanged, (who were found guilty
of murder at Frog Lake and Battleford)
at S.27 O'Clock that morning. Seven
were active participants in the horrible
massacre at Frog Lake On April last. The
bloody work was begun by Wandering
Spirit, and afterwards carried Oh under his
direction until the white people of the Frog
Lake settlement were almost exterminated.
On the morning of the fatal day, according
to the most trustworthy accounts, num-
Der of the Indians of Big Bears band de-
termined to put a stop to the white mans
reign and to assert their own sovereignty
over the land. This was believed to be a
consequence of Riel's uprising, the news of
the fight at Duck Lake having reached the
Indians at Frog Lake only few days pre-
vious.

ident is left in comfortable circumstances

The residence where Mr.. Hendricks died, in

at about $6G, 900. His life was also insured
in considerable sum. Altogether it is es-

THE SERvo-BULGARIAN ARMIsTICE.-It
is announced from Belgrade, says the Bait
imore Sun, that through the representations
of the Austro- Hungarian envoy extraordi-
nary and minister plenipotentiary Prince
Alexander of Bulgaria has been induced to
conclude an armistice with King Milan.
The Austrian envoy declared, it is said, that
Prince Alexander's capture of Prot and his
other successes had indicated Bulgarian
prowess sufficiently, and added the impor-
tant information that if the Bulgarians adj
vanced further .Asy would find themselves
confronted with Austrian troops. 1t was
all very well for Servia and Bulgaria to ex-
haust themselves. The attainment of that
condition would facilitate the carrying out
of the decision of the Constantinople con-
ference should that body decide to restore
the status quo ante. To permit Bulgaria to
hold Servia in addition to Roumelia is but
to double or triple the difficulty of the task
the conference has to perform. Bulgaria
is therefore urged to desist.

limited, and the shad excluded from fresh
water, without artificial propagation, they
would not only not be able to keep up the
supply, but the shad would soon be exter-
minated, or there would be such reduc-
ton as to render the fisheries improbable.
They were fast approaching such crisis in
1879, when the Fish Commission began the
work of had-propagation. The work of
artificial propagation had not only held the
balance even, but resulted in positive in
crease
Further on the Colonel deprecated the
methods employed in Establishing es-
pecially with pound nets. In the Potomac,
the catch now is driven below points where
they can spawn. In the Rappahannock,
the principal catch is on oyster-grounds.-
In the York, it is practically below Glouces-
ter Point, whilst in the James river, where
there are no pound nets, an increase is the
result. In 1880 there were one hundred and
eighty pound nets set in the track followed
by the shad along the Western shore of the
Chesapeake, but now there are one thou
sand, and through them the shad have to
run the gauntlet to the mouths of the riy-
ers to reach fresh water. Had it not been
for the artificial propagation which has
been carried on of late years, the shad
would have been about extinguished. He
further stated that the increased CONNER
cial value resulting from work conducted by
The United States Commission would pay
ten times the cost of it.

DEATH OF v1cE-PREs1pENr HENDRICKS.

DEATH OF E-PREsIDENT HENDRICKS.
AS the Baltimore Sun says, the death Of
Vice President Thos. Andrew Hendricks
Nov. 25th, at his home in Indianapolis, is
an event that cannot but excite in every
quarter of the Union emotions of profound
regret. Born on September 7, 1919, the
Vice President was in his sixty -seventh
year, and the vigor of his constitution gave
promise of many years of life. His career
had been singularly happy one, and but
little more than year ago the distinction
gained by him as Governor of Indiana and
United States Senator had been crowned by
the voice of the people, a second time re-
peated, with the honor of being named to
an office next to the very highest in the
gift of the nation. His sudden death under
these circumstances inficts shock of no
ordinary character. To the members of his
party it is the loss of beloved leader who
sustained their cause in the darkest hour of
its history, and even his political opponents
must deplore the demise of citizen whose
patriotism, honesty and courage they had
so often been compelled to admire.

A Coming War Department Change.
A BUREAU OF IMPORTATION TO BE ESTAB

On the 9th inst. the civil service commission
will conduct an examination here for the selec-
ton of persons to fill places in the new intell-
gence bureau or division of the War department.
This division is to be similar to one already in
existence in the Navy department.. The exam
military affairs. The division will be under
the direction of the adjutant general. and in a
general way it will be for the purpose
Of collecting information with regard to
the strategic points near the coast
of the United States, places for instance like
Cuba, the West Indies, etc. 1t is said, in behalf
Of such bureau, that the success OF the
Prussians and the Franco Prussian war was
largely due to the fact that through system OF
this sort Germany had accurately informed
itself of oil the points of strategic Importance in
France and knew the topography of the coun-
try, in q military sense, perfectly.
