Burchard, the Mint Mans Ought to Go.


WASHINGTON, April 14.-TThe director of
the minis of the United States is ex-Con-
gresham Burchard of Illinds. His term of
service runs for five years yet. The silver
men of the country have com bined in an ef
fort to have him removed.s His opponents
say he has absolute dictatorship over about
a thousand offices in the service, and that he
is eXerting himself to prevent the removal of
any of the Republicans employed under him.
Those who are leading the movement
against him say he is bound to the banks,
and manipulates his figures in their interest.
Congress appropriates a certain sum of
money every year for getting up statement
of the yield of precious metals in this coun-
try and they say in making his report he re-
lies upon guess work chiefly and represents
the silver yield as greatly larger than it is, so
as to depreciate it in valus. They say that
this is done in the interest of the national
banks of the East and that he is completely
under their control. They are not pressing
anybody for the place now, but simply want
to get Burchard out.

Louis Riel Sentenced to be Hanged.

Winnipeg dispatch says: The trial Of
Louis Riel the rebel half-breed was concluded
on the LIST inst. The Judge concluded his
charge at 2:l5, and at 3:15 there was muir
muir in court and it was whispered that the
jury had agreed All was hustle and excite
ment. Riel prayed fervently, kneeling in his
box, and looked unmoved as the jury entered
When asked II the jury had agreed to verdict
the foreman announced that Riel had been
found guilty of high treason in melting a
rebellion against her majesty's government.
The prisoner was unmoved at the verdict,
which he had probably anticipated. His coun-
sci may take an appeal, but even this is not
settled
Riel was sentenced TO be hanged Sept. IS, at
Regina. Judge Richardson said he could hold
out no prospect of reprieve or interference by
her majesty. Riel took the result cody, hav-
ing spoken two hours, reviewed the troubles
of 1869 and the half-breed grievances up to the
present time.
Louis Riel is a native of Manitoba, having
been born there Al years ago, under the old
Hudson Bay regime. He is of French ancestry
but has Indian blool In his veins. He Is well
educated, bold and insinuating and Just the man
to lead the half-breeds. When the Hudson Bay
company sold its lands TO the Canadian govern
ment in 1859, Riel commanded the half breed in
surrection and held Fort Garry, near Winnipeg,
IL months. He established a provisional gov
eminent, seized all the property at the fort, and
he and his associates in the movement became
possessed of hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of property. A number of loyal civilians
attempted to resist Riel, but they were put
down, and one Thomas Scott was shot. When
Col. Wolseley, now Gen. Wolseley, and the
Canadian militia to the number of about 1 1000,
appeared in front OF Fort Garry, Riel fled, and
the provisional government was dissolved. The
late outbreak Is owing to the fact that the half
breeds OF the remaining portion of the north
west were not treated as were those of Manito-
ba. Riel wanted to get for the other half breeds
what the instruction of 80 got for the people
of Fort Garry.

The Problem Solved.

The recent abrogation of the Washington
treaty, which took place July /, was supposed
to work serious injury to the railroad COM
panes and the American lake vessels. Accord
ing to article 30 of the treaty, American ships
were allowed to carry grain from Milwaukee
Chicago, Duluth and other points and land 1t
at Canadian lake ports. 1t is shipped thence
by rail through Canada to the New England
states. It was supposed that the abrogation
of the treaty prevented American vessels from
cont nuing their trade into Canada. AS there
were but few Canadian vessels, the grain car
rying trade OF the IA lroads promised TO be
seriously affected If not destroyed. Digby V.
Bell. ex-collt ctor of customs at Detroit, has
been In Washington In behalf of the railroads
to arrange the matter IL possible. He laid the
matter before the state department at Wash
ington, and they perfected arrangements
whereby American boats will retain the carry
ing trade. Inspectors win be stationed at the
ports of entry, and also at the points where
the grain cars leave Canada. The cars win be
sealed on the passage through the Dominion.
1t Is a most important and satisfactory solu-
ton OF what the railroad and vessel men feared
might be serious blow To their interests.

Heavy War Claims.

At the last session of congress bill was

claims of officers and soldiers for losses of
EXCEPT in time OF war or hostilities with indi.
ans. The claimants, through whose efforts the
bill was passed, have presented arguments to
the accounting officers Of the treasury, in
which they hold that the terms war" and
hostilities both refer to Indian service, there
being no comma between the words .'warn
and Tor" and that the claims for losses dur
ing the civil war must he allowed. This the
treasury officials say would cost the govern
mcnt an enormous sum, more than could be
estimated. A case involving a claim for losses
of personal property during the late war was
submitted to Third Auditor Williams who
gave decision disallowing the c aim and hold
ing that the act does not aut orze compensa-
ton for any losses sustained In time of war.
