Making his departure from Fort Gar
ny by an elaborate plan Of concealment,
Mayor Bracket hurried to New York,
where he met Horace Austin, then gov
ernor of Minnesota. Together they re-
paired to Washington, where they laid
the case before Bancroft Davis, then
acting as secretary of state in the alb
sence of Hamilton Fish,. who was So
iourning at Garrison, N. Y, on the Hud-
son river. From New York Messrs.
Bracket and Austin went to Long
Branch, where they had an interview
with President Grant. He promised
them that if they were unable to secure
the speedy release of the prisoners by
legal means he would countenance a
forcible rescue. Indeed, public indigna-
ton in Minnesota had now reached such
a pitch that the advisabiity of raising
a posse of armed men and rescuing the
unfortunate Minnesotans by force of
arms was freely discussed. Mayor
Bracket had several interviews with
Hamilton Fish; and still has in his pos
session autograph letters from that dis
tinguished statesman which show his
apprehensions regarding the final out
come Of the matter. Following is a
copy of a telegram sent by Mr.. Bracket
to Secretary Fish: ..-

he forgot that he was masquerading as

a stack Of worn enyelops: He looked at

Oh, whatever the purpose was, she

would willingly stake his soul. lnno-

mired his clean record, his per-

He took the handkerchief and hid 1t

municate, altho believe that he Is ex-
erting himself to secure the release of our
citizens now held at Winnipeg. You ask
me to make formal demand for the re-
lease Of those who were arrested near the
British custom house, on the ground that
their arrest was made south of the actual
49th parallel, altho north Of what has for
many years been recognized by both gov
ernments as the boundary line.
You include the man called Gordon"
in your request for demand Of release
With respect to him, the government has
no concern. In our conversation few
days since, I endeavored to explain, and
understood you to acquiesce, that as the
parties held in Winnipeg are held under
judicial process on an alleged criminal
charge, the political department Of the
government cannot officially interfere, but
that the government Of the United States
was exercising its good offices and it's in
f1uence with the authorities Of Canada to
secure the liberation or bail Of the parties
thus held. That II a demand be made for
their release it can be only on the ground
of their arrest within the territory which
recent surveys indicate as being south OF
the actual parallel Of 40 degrees, altho
north Of the line which the United States
government many years since accepted
and which has since been recognized as
the 49th parallel.
To raise this question, thought (and
you appeared to concur with me) would
present diplomatic question which
must be referred to London and would
involve time in notes passing backward
and forward and might protract the re-
lease Of the persons now held for long
time, pending the settlement Of a diplo-
matte question. I have therefore alb
stained from presenting this question, in
the belief that the release Of our country

The Bike in War

Among the interesting experiments to
be carried out during the French army
maneuvers in the east will be the en-
ployment as a complete unit of the cy-
clist battalion recently formed at Cha
Ions. The idea is to find out whether
it is possible to attach large bodies OF
cyclists as a highly mobile reserve to an
army in the field, and to use them in
combination with cavalry and artillery
to check or Illustrate an enveloping
General Langlois pointed
out recently that at present only cayai-
ry and artillery are capable of making
such a movement with the necessary
rapidity, and that their action, unsup-
ported by bayonets, could not be sufh-
GENTLY sustained to attain its object.
He argues that the existence of good
roads makes the use Of strong eycllst
corps in European warfare not only pos
sibfe but effective, and suggests that
each field army should be provided with
a mobile reserve consisting of 5000 cy-
clists, 5000 cavalry and thirty guns.
