There are warrants out for his arrest

up, and he would be supported by the
federal troops in an effort to capture
him were he to go back to his old quar-

he is on Boy river, but no one has yet

battle at Sugar point.

born and raised at that village. Their
father. James Taylier, is of English
descent. but married a squaw, and has
been trader at Leech lake for nearly
half a century.
James Tay1ier says that cutting tim

at work, but only a few of them. He
asserted that the Indians are quiet,
and no further trouble with the whites
is expected.
Flat Mouth, the principal chief of the
Chippewa tribe, has left leech lake and
taken up his quarters at Cass lake for
the winter. He is reported to be in
poor health, partly growing out of the
excitement and troubles incidental to

Eng1and.s Colonial Expenses.

Great Britain expends 500, 600, 00O annually
on her civil service and about SIG. O00. 900 on
her navy. Part of these expenditures are
necessitated by the fact that Great Britain
has colonies. all over the world Some of
the Australian colonies have gunboats and
torpedo boats. but most of the British colonies
have no naval forces. There is a British
army of 10,eco men in India, and there ara
troops at Gibraltar, Halifax and other fort
resses. Yet in the main the British colonies
are self-supporting and each has its own
budgets own revenuesand regular methods
of expenditure.
