A Flaw in the Indictment.

TORONTO, Ont, July 13-Considerable
interest has been awakened here in Riel's
approaching trial by a statement made by
Thomas Holmes, Wingham barriSter, and
widely circulated by the newspapers, point
ing out that there is a flaw in the indict-
ment againt the rebel chief through which
he will in all probability be acquitted.
1t is contended that he is charged with be-
ing traitor to the queen while being her
subject Now, if Reil is not a subject of
Great Britain, but a citizen of the United
States, he should have been indicted, not
under the statute of treasons, but under the
statute which provides for the punishment
of foreigners levying war in Canada. It
was under this last statute that the Fenians
were punished, and it is for a contravention
of it that Riel should be tried.

A Coroner's Jury Puzzled.

CHICAGO, July 13-The coroner's jury in
the case of Frederick Schlewzsn, the Ls-
mont hotelkeeper who was found dead with
a pistol-shot wound in his head Wednesday
night, returned an open verdict declaring
that it did not know whether the tragedy
was a suicide or murder. The opinion pre-
walls, however, that Schlewzen killed him
self. The revolver found beside his body
was his own. 1t was shown that he hal
quarreled with his wife about his friend
illness with servant girl who formerly
worked at his house.

telegram to W. A. Towers and Thomas A.
Lee, committee for the stock association at
Kansas City, Mo-:
have carefully considered your tele-
gram of the 10th inst. The animal industry
act prohibits the driving from one state or
territory to another of any live stock by
any person, ETC., knowing them to be
affected with any contagious, infectious, or
communicable disease. The owners whose
herds are forcibly stopped in the Indian ter
ritory declare that their cattle are not SO
affected. The people of Texas, Colorado, Mis-
souri,, and other states have equal if not
greater right to drive their live stock,
not affected with the prohibited diseases,
through and over the trails of the
Indian territory and the neutral strip as
you have to occupy those lands without our
leases from Indian tribes. An inspector has
been sent to open and keep open the trails
for the passage of cattle. If the people who
are occupying those lands with their herds
continue their forcible obstruction of trails
measures will be taken to remove them and
their herds at once.

THE SECRETARIES OF THE NAVY AND
INTERIOR SPEAK OUT.
Whitney's Letter to Capt. kirkland About
the Navy Foremanships-Lam Re-
marks ON the Cattle Question
-Cattlemen's Rights.

WASHINGTON CITY, July l3-Sscretary
Whitney has sent an order to Capt klrk1
land, Of the New York navy yard, provid-
ing for the appointment of a board to con-
duct the examinations Of persons applying
for appointment to the various foremanships
| In the yard. Accompanying the order Is a
letter, in which the secretary says:
The navy regulations, as you know, con-
template and require these examinations. 1
call your attention particularly to two points:
First, wish to get at the knowledge OF
each applicant of tho business or craft
which he is applying to be given the charge
of. General requirements l consider unln-
portant Sc sond, bear in mind that cer-
tain traits OF character are necessary to
tirely distinct from his requirements.
The qualities which enable a man to direct
others, and get good and efficient service
out t:of the force, cannot be got at through
competitive examination An applicants
appearance and conversation will enable
you to judge somewhat as to this, and de-
tlsire the result Of your observations III each
case as to these matters. The examination
is for the purpose of sitting the applicants
and getting out those who should be
fairly considered. The antecedents and the
amount Of experience of each man, where
he worked, and in what capacity, you WILL
OF course, ascertain in each case. In i'm
portant cases, if I am in doubt, l will
endeayor to have personal interviews with
the most likely candidates. As the efficiency
Of the yard is to depend very largely upon
the character Of the foreman, I wish to
proceed deliberately and with great care in
creating the force, and will give all neces-
sary personal attention to it.
It is idle to expect liberal appropriations
for navy yard work unless q great change is
made In this respect. You will treat all
forsmanships of skilled labor as vacant, and
allow all present incumbents to compete. l
desire, however, new force, and, except
for very good cause and an exceptional rec
ord in the navy yard, shall not appoint
foreman whose habits have been formed
through navy yard work of recent years.
