THREATENED RESURRECTION,
A Serious Crisis Existing in The Northwest
Territory.

OTTAWA (Ontario). Dec. 1S-Lieutenant-
Governor John Royal of the Northwest Ter
ritory has arrived here to confer with the
Dominion Government regarding serious
State affairs, which threaten to throw the
Territory once more into state of insurrec-
ton. This time it is not the hall-breeds nor
Indians who threaten rebellion, but the
white population, which is protesting
against the arrogant manner in which Lieu
tenant-Governor Royal is administering the
affairs OF the country The Legislative As
sembly has refused TO vote the Governor and
his Council money with which to carry on
the affairs of the Territory. owing to which
there is now a deadlock. The revenue to
meet the cost of administering the Govern
ment Is derived from two sources-subsidies
from the Dominion Government and direct
taxation. The disposition of the money re-
celved from the Dominion Government rests
entirely with the Lieutenant Governor,
while the revenue derived from the re-
sources OF the Territory is voted away in
the usual manner by the Legislative As
sembly. There is a clause in the Northwest
Act which provides that all unappropriated
funds from every source shall be expended
by the Llentenant-GOvernor. and as the As
semDiy refuses 10 make any appropriation
or dispose of the funds, tie Governor is at
liberty to dispose of them as he sees fit.
The people of the Territory have petitioned
the Dominion authorities here for re-
sponsible Government, and threaten 70 take
the law into their own hands if their grev-
auces are not redressed. Lieutenant Gov
ernor Royal had long conversation with
the Government yesterday, having been
summoned to Ottawa to explain the course
OF action he is following and which is the
most likely means that can be taken to avert
The threatened crisis.

car and baggage-car ahead OF it.
Three passenger-cars ran diagonaliy along
the embankment for 200 yards the second
class striking the western abutment of the
bridge. 1t was in this car that the sacrifice
of life occurred. The front of the car was
smashed to atoms against the solid stone
abutment. The three cars were turned over,
the first class being badly shattered. The
sleeper was not so badly smashed as the
other cars.
The engine, still drawing the baggage and
mail cars; passed over the bridge. After

the embankment, having turned completely
over in its descent. The engine and de-
rallied baggage-car continued on. passing

aster reached the city number of medical
men crossed the river and went down on a
special train to the scene of the disaster and
rendered efficient aid to the wounded pas
sengers.
The names of the dead, so lar as can
be found, are: DionnP, Gauvin, Bais, Le-

with the understanding that he SHOULD favor
any amendments that met with his appro-

ernment by the Constitution and by the re-
suits OF war to protect the negro of the

possible, to trust entirely to The States

such results, limited at rather than courage
ously expressed, would not prevent the bill
being enacted an approved.
Bate took the floor. He opposed the bill
becaused he believed it to strike at the free
dom OF the ballot and tended to breed dis
tur6ance and destroy the peace and quiet of
society. He believed it to be the most
prominent OF the many finger-boards ON the
political highway that pointed to an empire.
Such legislation in a Republican Govern
ment was at all times dangerous and vicious,
and was especially so at the present time.
The Election Bill was then informally laid

tending to brethren in the North and West
an invitation to come and make their homes
here and aid the Southerners in developing
this, the richest country in national re-

end with call for half million sons of toll
and half million manufacturers of the
North and West to make their homes with
us and join in the development of this land.
The resolutions were referred.
The Committee on Railroad Matters made
report tavoring "home seekers" and land
excursion tickets to promote and encourage
immigration, and asking that committee
be appointed to apply TO several railroad as
sociatiOns for an extension of the sale of
such tickets. As the practice of scRlping or
ticket brokerage makes these tickets hazard
Gus to the revenue of the railroads in many
instances, the committee recommends that
the convention memOraliZe Congress to pro-
hibit scalping or ticket brokerage by an
amendment to the interstate commerce law.
