Gates through Missouri and their last

One of the saddeat cases OF mans in
humanity to man has been told in th,
dispatches Of the daily newspaper in tn,
past few days. We give the story al
briefly told by the Toronto Mail and Ex.
press, which ought to know what It ii
talking about. The Express says: The
English settlers at Fox Bay, Anticosti
have at last been evicted by M. Menier
the French chocolate king, but through
the kindness Of friends who have inter.
ested themselves in their condition they
are on the way to the prairies. Exceed
! Ingly painful is the case OF these English
speaking Methodists. Their fathers set
tied at Fox Bay, Anticosti, 80 years ago,
on land that had been allotted to them
by the then proprietors. When M. Me.
nier bought the island as a game pre-
serve he claimed everything and ordered
the people to leave their homes without
delay. In his effort to drive them out
M. Menier was aided by Mr. Tarte, who
evinced great interest in his claim. Mr.
Tarte defended the proposed eviction,
and took occasion in Parliament to de-
scribe the English Methodist settlers as
wreckers and murderers. He said they
were there to lure ships to their doom by
exhibiting false lights. This assault up
on the character OF the unfortunate peo-
pie awakened resentment among Eng.
disappearing Canadians generally. 1t
was uncalled for; 1t was deliberately I'M
true.
During the past year M. Menier has
operated through the courts, and the
Judges have reluctantly had to decide
that the settlers who could show no
deeds were subject to removal. In the
unhappy victims Rev DR. Griffith, chair
man of the Methodist district of Quebec,
has taken a benevolent, humane and fra
ternal interest. He sought to protect
them, and aided them when their remov-
al became "a necessity. His action has
incurred the displeasure of the Partisan
and this gentleman actually
sought to have him arrested and .trans-
ported to Bale st Paul for trial on the
charge Of melting the people to remain
on the island and to resist the decision of
the court. Failing in this, M Menier is
suing DR. Griffith for $4,000 on the same
The suit has produced much
surprise.
Meanwhile the evIcted ssettlers, penni-
less and suffering, have reached Quebec
on the way to the West. It Is altogether
probable that in the end the change will
be beneficial to them and their children.
But meanwhile the LOGS Of their homes,
their boats, their little lobster factories
and their fishing plants lis 8 sorrowful
thing for them. They 60 West not as
wreckers who lure ships and sailors to
their doom, but as good and religious
people who deserve well.

the suspected one will be convicted, al.
though the State has been drawing q
strong net of evidence about him. For a
brief resume OF the case we are indebted
to the Springfield Republican, and it is
so dramatic and unusual, we give their
| version: It relates to a crime COM
mitted some 30 years ago. Gilbert W.
Gates, brother of John W. Gates of the
American steel and wire trust, then a
youth of 10 years, left Decatur, ILL.,, for a
trip through the Southwest in prairie
schooner. He spent the summer in Kan
sas, and started from Fort Scott on his
return journey In the fall. The last let
ter received from him by his parents was
postmarked Middle Grove, Mo-, and in
this letter he told Of having fallen in with
Alexander Jester, an ex-soldier of uncer-
tain character, who was something of a
preacher of the gospel and something OF
a mountebank. The letter told of trick
buffalo Jester had along with him, and OF
the travelling together of the two men
with their several outfits. On failing to
hear further of the boy, his father went
to Middle Grove to investigate. 1t was
found that the two had camped together
off the main road on certain night, and
that when the two wagons came out on
to the main road next days Jester was
alone. He was pursued into Indiana and
then back to Kansas, and when captured
had in his possession watch, ring, bowie
knife and antelope skin waistcoat which
had belonged to young Gates. He had
sold the wagon owned by the boy in In
diana. So clear was the case against
Jester that he narrowly escaped lynch
ing at the time, and was transferred to
the jail at Mexico, Mo-, pending trisl,
from which place he escaped. This was
back in 1871. Since then nothing was
heard Of Jester until year ago, when
the sheriff Of Sedgwick county, Mo-, re.
ceived letter from Mrs Cornelia Street,
recounting the facts of the Gates murder
and saying that Jester was her half
brother and was living in Oklahoma as
a regularly ordained minister of the
Christian church, under the name of W.
A. Hill. Hill was accordingly arrested,
and admitted that he was formerly
known as Alexander Jester and that Mrs
SGTeet was d uAlI cistoE, Dut LIZ uoulcu Ill
of the crime. His counsel at
the trial last week, the conclusion Of
which had not been reached at last &C.
counts, commended that the prisoner came
by young Gates wagon and other pro-
perty through purchase, the latter desir-
ing to sell out in order to adopt more
rapid mode of conveyance, and that
when Jester parted from the young man
he was alive and we'll. 1t is farther
claimed that no proof of the murder Of
Gates has been produced, and that he
may be alive to-day SO far as anybody
knows. Although the alleged crime
was committed 80 years sgo, the prose-
cution has been able to summon some
400 witnesses who from memory can tell
something of the progress OF Jester and

BRITISH MINISTER HEARD FROM.

Sir Claude Macdonald Sends n Cipher
Message Telling OF the Safety of the
Legationers-stnte Department Ex-
pects to Hear From COnger Soon.
London, July 31.-A cipher message
yesterday from Sir Claude Mac
donald, the British minister at Pekin.
and dated July 81, is accepted on all
sides as dispelling any doubts that
might still have existed regarding the
genuineness OF the dispatches. Owing
to an error in transmission the mes
sage fails to show the number OF
wounded. David Oliphant and War
rem were two student interpreters. Sir
Claude's message is as follows:
British legation, Pekin, June 20 to
July 16 repeatedly attacked by Chinese
troops on all sides. Both rifle and ar
tillery fire. Since July 16 an armistice,
but Gordon is strictly drawn on both
sides OF the position. Chinese barri-
cades close to ours. All women and
children in the British legation. Casu-
alties to date So killed, including Capt.
Strouts. A number Of wounded in hos
pital, including Capt. Halliday. Rest
OF legation all we'll except David OIL
phant and Warren, killed"
The message fails to mention the
other legations and other matters OF
pressing importance to know. but 1t
should be borne In mind that the
British minister may not be aware
that all his previous dispatches have
been suppressed. He may be under the
impression that the government is
fully posted regarding all recent oc-
currences.
Apart from this dispatch there 10
practically no fresh news, although a
special from Tien Tsin asserts that
the British and American forces are
getting ready to advance within 40
hours.
Ii Hung Chang remains at Shang-
hal. He says that the great heat pre-
vents him continuing the journey to
Pekin.

clared that the ambassadors were
