WINNIPEG, Man., Sept. 27.-A terri
BILE tale of starvation and destitution
among the Indians comes from Atha-
basca and the Peace river country. 1t
comes in the form of petition to the
minister of the interior for Canada, and
is signed by the Anglican bishop for
that diocese, six clergymen and mission
aries and several justices of the peace.
1t is an official document passed by the
synod of AthabaSca diocese. 1t sets
forth that, owing to the scarcity of bea-
yer and other small game, the Indians,
both last winter and summer, have been
in state of starvation. Both the food
supply Of the Indians and their power
of procuring clothing have been affect
ed. They are now in a complete state
of deStitution, and unable to provide
themselves with clothing, ammunition,
ETC., for the winter. The petition says,
among other things: ''The above scar
city has greatly decreased the number
OF their dogs, so necessary to the
Indian for travelling and hunting,
which have perished, thus seriously in
creasing the difficulty of obtaining
livelihood. At Lake Athabasca and at
some other lakes there is great failure
of the fall and winter fisheries, during
the winter of 1SS6-S7, between the Peace
and Alabasca rivers, on account of star
vation and
CONSEQUENT CANNIBALISM,
a party of twenty-nine Cree Indians
was reduced to three. In the Macken-
zie river district there were several
cases of death by starvation and one or
more of cannibalsm during the winter
of 1SS7-SS among the Fort Chippewain
Indians. Between twenty and thirty
starved to death, and the death of 9th
ers accelerated by want of food. A
party of about twenty Beavers had to
be conveyed from Grand Prairie, near
Dunvegan, Peace river, to Lesser Slave
Lake, to prevent their starving
to. death. Some of them died
after arriving there. Within the per-
sOnal knowledge of the undersigned
many other Indians, Crees, Beavers and
Chippewians, at almost all points where
there are missions of trading posts,
would certainly have starved to death
but for the help furnished by the trad
ers and missionaries at those places,
furnished very often at great personal
inconvenience. Owing to all these
facts scores of families having
LOST THEIR HEADS BY STARVATION
are now perfectly helpless and must
starve to death or eat one another unless
help comes. The people are terribly
agitated over the anticipated fate of
these poor people. Heartrendering
stories of suffering and cannibalism
continue to come in.

INTERIOR OF THE CHURCH.
Very Elaborate Decorations of the
Affairs.


The interior of the old Cathedral
never looked prettier. 1t had put on its
brightest dress in honor of the occasion.
The main altar was perfect bower of
roses and rare plants. and a beautiful
cross of cut flowers surmounted all. st.
Mary's and ST. JOSeph's altars were con-
cealed behind prOfusiOn of beautiful
flowers. whose sweet perfume per-
meated the sacred structure. Balls of
flowers we're suspended from the gal
lerieS and windows. and inches were
filled with potted tropical plants. The
old curtains of the throne were
replaced by elegant ones of rich
plush. and Oh the top of the throne
rested a bank of vari cOlored roses.
A small OIL painting of the first log
chapel of st. Paul, built by Father
Galtier, was suspended high above the
altar so that all could see it. When the
candles were all lighted the altar pre-
Sented a beautiful appearance. The
mellow glow of the wax tapers shed a
soft light all around the sanctuary,
lending a brightness aud cheerfulnesS
to the surroundings. just before the
doors were thrown open the warm rays
of Old Sol flashed through the windows

Standing Rock, closed the session with
a shrewd address, in which he made the
new point that much of the leased land
was unfit for cultivating; that home
steaders would not take It up, and that
payment to the Indians would be cor
respondingly delayed. Contrary to ex-
pectations no general council was
held here to-day (26th). The
delegations from different agencies
have been holding private councils in
various places, but, although the COM
missioners express themselves as hope
full, no great change is manifest in the
sentiment of the Indians. All the
Indian delegations meet by themselves
tonight and final council is expected
tomorrow, when the points brought up
by the Indians will be answered by the
commissioners.

Remains Supposed to Be Those of
Murdered Tom Scott Unearthed
at Winnipeg.
Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, Man., Sept. 27.-The foul
murder of Tom Scott during Reil's first
rebellion is verified by the discovery of
human remains on Hudson's Bay flats,
near where the terrible crime was COM
mitted. While the Northern Pacific
contractors were excavating for the ap-
proach TO the river one of the men
noticed the remains of some wood, evil
IDENTIFY coffin, but which he thought to
be decayed post. Bones were after
wards turned out, and thrown upon the
embankment, where they were promptly
taken possession of by urchinS and
others, who carried them off. Some
military buttons were found with them,
which leads to the conviction that they
were the remains of Tom Scott, the vic
tim of Riel's initial rebellion. Those
who know say the shooting occurred
short distance from the spot where the
bones were unearthed. AS Scott had
military buttons on his clothes, there
seems little doubt that the remains are
his. What was done with his remains
by the rebels has always been the most
profound secret of the settlement, but
it is believed to be unravelled.

Sioux CITY, Sept. 27.-This has been
a big day at the corn palace festival.
The great crowds of yesterday were
swelled by the arrival of thousands Of
visitors on regular and special trains.
The lowest estimate says $4,000
strangers are now here. Among the
notable arrivals this morning by special

Secretary Tolmadge, of the st. Paul
board of trade; f. II. Peavey, formerly

Booth and many others. The delega-
ton was met by Messrs. Amidon, Kirk,

the corn palace, the beauties
of which they viewed for nearly two
hours. All expressed themselves as be-
ing greatly surprised at the wonderful
work wrought from the product of the
field. Later they dined at the Garrett
son, and were then driven about the
city in carriages, and shown the points
of interest and large public and private
improvements that are under way.
They left for home this evening. An
other Minnesota delegation whose visit
is OF great interest to the Sioux City
people, came in this morning from
Winona. They are here for the pur-
pose of securing the cooperation OF
Sioux City people in the effort
to construct the Winona & Southwest
ern railroad from Winona to Sioux City.
The delegation was met by john Pierce,

BROUGHT TO THEIR SENSES.
Hunger Forces the Raising OF the
Mississippi Quarantine.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 27.-The small
towns of Mississippi having so far re-
laxed their quarantine restrictions as to
allow railroads to run their trains
under prescribed conditions. Baton
Rogue, Vicksburg and Shreveport
have followed the lead, so
far as to let in freight.
The people of Meriden, finding the sup
ply of provisions about exhausted, have
magnanimously consented to allow the
the Mobile q Ohio railroad to run
freight trains through the town, in
order that they may get something to
eat from the outside world, against
which they had quarantined. Hunger
appears to have brought the quarantine
officials of several other towns in Mis-
SiSSippi to their senses.
