Nkw Yokk, May 10.—Advices from Ottawa, III., state thnt a charge of manslaughter is pending there in the shape of an indictment against Lady Frances Cook, of London, formerly Tcnnie C. ChBlin, who, with her sister, Mrs. John Biadulph Martin, formerly Mrs. Victoria Claflin Woodhull, arrived in Now York a short time ago from England. The indictment was brought in La Salic county, 111., in .Tune 1804, Tennie O. Clufliii being charged with placing on the breast of ltebecea Howe drugs which ate away the flesh, causing death, iit February, 1805. The court ordered the case stricken from the calendar with leave to reinstate the same, and it is to this latter clause that the reopening of the case may lie due. The sisters are expected to arrive in Chicago shortly. Lady Cook, when seen, says she never heard of the case until a few months ago, whon^apers and letters from Ottawa were mailed to herself and her husband in London, demanding $100,000 hush money to prevent the revival of the indictments. Mr. Martin also received a demand to the same effect, hut the amount asked was $260,000. Lady Cook stated that she was only 10 or 18 years of age when she waB in Ottawa with her mother, and that she wns then exercising the power of curing people by the laying on of hands. This woman, among others, came to her, and at her mother's request she essayed to cure, though she saw it wus hopeless, passing her hands, with magnetic ointment, over the breast. The woman went away, but afterward died from cancer. Lady Cook claims that the story is the outgrowth of the old persecution ngniust herself and her lister. Eastern Advices. Sax Fhancibco, May 12.—By the arrival yesterday of the steamer China, advices from China to April 18th aud from Yokohama to April 20th were received. The Emperor left Pekiii on April' 4th with an immense retinue, numbering lie tween 10,000 and 15,000. The procession occupied the road for a distance of ten miles.

Sax Francisco, May 12.—Sister Margaret, who for the paBt seven years has been in charge of the Episcopal Mission school, home for Japanese girts at Tokio, Japan, and who Is now returning to England to take the annual report, was a passenger on the steamer China from Hong Kong. Checking the Chines*. San Fbancisco, May 12.—There wns not a single Chinaman on board the China in transit for a Mexican port, while previous steamers arriving huve brought large numbers, many of whom have since worked their way into the United States. Collector Phelps said: IJam highly gratified to And that there are no Chinese on the steamer for Mexican ports; there is no doubt that hundreds have come here ou steamers as passengers and, after being placed on the Panama steamer, have been landed at Ensennda, Guayamas, or Mazatlun, and then worked their way over the border; I think we have stopped that loophole, aud will turn our attention to others. Probably Despondency. San Jose, Cala., May 12.—Garishen, the cashier of the Fredericksburgh Brewing Co., committed suicide this morning by shooting himself in the head.

London, May 10.—It is- learned that the Archbishop of Canterbury has written his judgement iu the case of Bishop of Lincoln. It is rumored that the judgment is against the use of altar lights, but that it declines to deal with the question of making the sign of the cross in the act of blessing, or the question of absolutions, these being purely Eersonal acts, not authorized or for- idden by the Book of Common Prayer. Britain's Army. London, May 9.—Viscount Wolseley asserts that the British army was never iu a more efficient condition than it is to-day, aud that the soldiers are as good, physically and mentally, as at any time in England's history. He speaks of the English army at home as simply agrand depot for recruits, where a raw young man is taken in to be fully trained ana then sent to one of the various stations maintained in all parts of the world by England. He declares that it is au absurdity for "England to think of contending in numbers with the armies of foreign states; that the navy of Great Britain ought to be the greatest and most powerful in tho world, nnd* behind the navy a small, well-trained army to garrison and protect the forts and coaling stations abrond. The Viscount laughs at the idea, however, that Great Britain would be forced to succumb even in the event of n disaster to her navy, He maintains that there is always a considerable amount of provisions in the country and that no blockade could be bo efficient as to prevent America from sending supplies. ThiB hint of dependence ou America in a time of need does not prevent England from straining every nerve to retain the lion's share of South American commerce, and mercantile circles aro rejoicing over the idea that the recent Pan-American Congress wus a failure so far as concerns extending the trade of the United States with South America. The Dark Continent. London, May 9.—A congresB of thoso European powers which have territorial possessions in Africa is rapidly becoming a necessity if serious complications and troubles are to be avoided. There are all tho elements of a great outbreak in the seizure and parcelling out of territory which is going ou in that country. often in defiance of distinct lines oi limitation and treaty obligations. Some of theso conflicting interests have undoubtedly arisen out of the imperfect maps, which leave out important lines of the divisions in question, but they are too frequently traceable to the spirit of aggression which threatens misnief. The friction which lately rose between England and Portugal was only an illustration of what may occur at any moment between other powers. The policy of Germany iB in new hands. Prince Bismarck wns known to be averse to doing anything that would tend to warfare with English interests in East Africa, but his successor, General Von Caprivi, is not so favorably disposed towards maintaining intact the agreement of 1887. Hence the new expedition of which Emin Pasha is In charge, renders more necessary than ever that there should be a clear understanding as to tlie precise boundaries of English and German territories if serious trouble Ib to be avoided. England's recent trouble with Portugal und the present uncertainty as to the intentions of Germany, clearly show the need of a better understanding than now exists between all the jiowers interested in this position of the "dark continent," and which is being curried out by methods more or less dangerous nnd aggressive.

Very Nearly a Big Fire--Promptness of the Fire Brigade—Plenty nf Itain at the Capital; Special to Tiik COLOMBIAN.] Victoria, May'12.—"81" wus the number which rang out Inst night from the Gamewell lire-alarm. The engines were quickly on the scene of the blaze, which wns a house of ill-fume kept by Edith Haynes ou Broughton Street, be*- tween St. Andrew's Presbyterian church and the Victoria Transfer stables. The lire was discovered to be on the roof and extinguished without great damage. Had the fire communicated to the Victoria Transfer stables, a most disastrous conflagration would have lieen the result. A fine rain fell ull yesterduv and soaked the city and district. It will be of great benefit to the crops, which bndly needed it. To-duy was bright nnd warm, ' Terrible Aceldent. The tug Pilot brought news to Nanaimo Thursday, says the Erie Press, of one of the loggers in Seymour Narrows meeting with a terrible accident by having his legs cut oft'. It appears the man (whose name could not be obtained} was engaged in the shute ns n large log was coming down, when all of a sudden tho log canted' und came down by the run. Iu its course it caught his legs against the side of the shutes, cutting them almost off, with the exception that they hung by the skin. Four of his comrades immediately placed him in a canoe and left for Vancouver. He was not expected to live to arrive there. r»-♦—» Kamloops Industrial School. The arrangement is now completed, says the Inland Sentinel, to have the Sisters take charge of the girls' department of the Industrial School. The great success attending the schools in the Northwest under the superintendence of the Sisters lias argued in favor of this course being taken with the Kamloops school. Desks, seuts, und the rest of the furniture required, it is expected, will soon be ready, when the school will be opened. Already notice has been given to send the scholars selected for the commencement. The windmill to supply water to tho school and to irrigate the garden, is about ready for operation. The officers and friends of the institution nre hopeful of accomplishing much good for the native population, thus justifying the praiseworthy liberality of the Government in this as in other worthy objects. «_—♦—♦ Free Viinkeeland. On the steumer Premier, which left Seattle for Vancouver ti few days ago, were three Chinamen who were under the escort of a United States deputy marshal. The Mongolians will be put on board the Canadian Pacific Com- ?any's steamer Batuviu, to be carried to he land of rice nud vice. This marks the last act in a little play that put the United States officials in u sort of a dilemma. About a year nnd a half ago several captures of coolies trying to smuggle themselves into the States, were made by the customs officials. The Chinamen were brought,beforo the United States commissioner, who remanded them to the country from whence they came. The United States marshal undertook to carry out this order by taking tho coolies to British Columbia, but us there was no positive evidence that the Chinamen had beep there before, and as they did not have a head tax receipt, they wore refused the right to land unless tne sum of $50 apiece was paid. This the marshal had no right to do, so he reported the matter to the court, who ordered the coolies kept at McNeill's island until some provision was made for their deportation. United States Attorney White went to Washington to Bee if something could bo done, but he was unsuccessful iu his plea for relief. Since then out of nineteen Chinese imprisoned nil but six have escaped. Now there are only three on the island, those who' passed through Seattle on tho Premier having agreed to pay their own passage to China rather than be imprisoned longer. The Campaign Opens. On Friday night a representative and Influential- meeting of supporters of the local government was held in the Sir William Wallace Society rooniB, Victoria, for the purpose of nominating candidates for the representation of the city of Victoria ut the ensuing elections. Tho hall was tilled to overflowing, many having to stand, und some being compelled to remain out in the passage. On motion, Col. Prior, M. P., was called to the chair, und, at his request, Hon. Theodore Davie explained that although a ticket of Government candidates had been selected and had found its way into the papers, it wus not intended that it should be final. It was impossible for any one to select a ticket whether of four names or one that would be absolutely agreeable to all. Compromises had to be made nnd he would say ou behalf of the gentlemen whose names hud been mentioned, that if this meeting thought it advisable for any of them to do so they would step down and out, but, at the same time would support the candidate chosen by the meeting. The gentleman who had first been nominated was Hon. J. H. Turner. It wns eminently fitting that ho should run for Victoria, ho being Finance Minister of the Province. Personally he (Mr, Davie) had for eight years beeu a member for the constituency of Victoria; but on this occasion he should not offer himself. When he had been called to the Ministry, there being no vucant Beat in the island of Vancouver he could not run in nn' outside constituency, and therefore presented himself in the city. Otherwise he should huve run outside, us jealousy always prevailed with respect to any constituency having a plurality of of cabinet ministers. If Victoria hnd two out of Ave cabinet ministers it might be u source of serious disaffection, und to avoid this he withdrew. If he hud not dono so Hon. Mr. Tumor would not have presented himself here. There wns a constituency on the island where he wns well known, where his friends lived, nnd to which he wns warmly nt- tuched. There he intended to go. He thought it his duty to this meeting to give the reasons why he did not run in Victoria, as he had no desire to desert tho constituency. It wus not because ho feared that the olectors of Victoria would not support him. Bnt it would, ho considered, be unjust that other places should not have representation in the cabinet. He assured Itis hearers that although he would not be a candidate ho should work just as hard in behalf of tho candidates whom tliis meeting should choose. He had just ns much interest In this campaign as if ho were a candidate, if not, indeed, more. Mr. Davie Bat down amid great cheering. A ballot having been taken for candidates the following were chosen: Hon. J. H. Turner, Cnpt. Irving, Mr. Duck aud Mr. Dalby. Hon J. H. Turner wus too much overcome with the kindness evoked to mnke a speech. He had identified himself with, the city and province for twenty- five yoars, and trusted that when election day came—It would not bo long delayed—the ballots would turn out us they had dono to-night iu fuvor of tho present candidates. Mdnn Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. CHILMWACK CHIPS. I From Our Own Correspondent.) Chilliwack, May 10.—The water in the Fraser, River has risen very fast in the last few ilays; only a few'days ago and steamers were in danger of getting aground, but now old Frnser is booming the highest known in so short a time at this season of the year; but itis welcome, ns it lessens the chance of high water next mouth. His washing away badly at the Lauding. Mrs. Harrison will have to move the Valley Hotel at once. Mr. Ashwell has his residence moving slowly along to Centreville, ho that our Landing has a deserted-looking appearance, what with tho freight sheds all torn down und houses moving. Sumas Landing does not wash ut this stage of tlie water, the current being almost still there along the bunks. We huve hud a fine shower of rain the lust two days, which wns very welcome, us the ground iu some places wus getting quite dry. Fruit of all kinds promises an abundant crop, as the trees were loaded with blossoms. A meeting of the Mainland Association was called for Saturday, May 3rd, but not enough interest was taken in it to make a meeting, so it was postponed for one week, and I think will end with the same result. Mr. Corbould made u short visit this week in the interest of his election as member to Ottawa. There is no doubt buthe is the choice in this section of the district. I wont round with Mr. Corbould, and we visited most of the leading men in this Municipality, nud they are unanimous iu the choice of Mr." Corbould. Mr. William B. Hall was married to Miss Lizzie Glbbard, on Thursday, at the residence of Mr, A. C. Wells, Rev. Mr. Hall performed the marriage ceremony in tne presence of a few friends. After the ceremony and congratulations, the party sat down to a lunch such as Chilliwack is noted for, fit for a king. That health and prosperity be with the happy couple Ib the wish of all. COBRESPONDENCK. NOW AND THEN. " Ambition olad In humility; Bill'Us a cumin.m proof, Thut lowliness is young iimhltion's ladder. Whereto thu climlier upward turns his face; Hut when he once attain!) the upmost round, He thon unto the ladder turn- his back. Looks In the clouds, scorning the base degrees lly which He did ascend." Enrroii Columbian—Sir: The politician is an animal composed of wonderous parts, fearfully concocted and strangely put together(nnd outside of a moss agate, could not be compared to the likeness of anything thut is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or in the waters under the earth, to lie intelligible to mortal minds), so that iu proceeding to analyse our subject, I beg to call attention to the fact that he is built up in strata of black and whito, and so perfectly nre these opposite hues blended together, that it takes n cultivated mind to decide where the black leaveB off and the white commences, and all we know is that the white stratum leads off. This is called the introduction and soliciting racket, and is ushered in by a nicely worded uddreBS, composed of appeals, flattery and wild promises, soon to be followed tip by going out ou the warpath, and running amuck of the "servant girls and the babies," Here the stratum becomes a little streaked, and finally dips into the black shades. When he thinks that lie is likely to get " loft," ho Hotn hio friends to Insinuate that he is the favorite of the Government ; he is going to build u mansion of palatial magnificence; or that he is going to givo a set of hops in the sweet "bye-una-byo." Here ho gets some- whut mixed in his efforts, but tnkcB fresh pointers and courage from his committee rooms, und makes u fresh start. At laat ho haB scraped together enough material to embellish his opening speech und has screwed up courage to deliver it. Now mark this partof the programme. He tells how things are done, and how they should be done, and how he would do them if scut to do the business for the people. Thnt he goes as their trusted agent to transact business for them, their style, at their bidding, to acquaint them from time to time how their business was progressing, and what was the prospects for certain measures (that his constituents were interested in) being carried through. And he will ever bo on the alert to do, to say, for the good people, "if honored with their trUBt, their commands, and their confidence. He is now to all outward appearances perfection, nnd is looked upon bv all hands as a White Elephant. The whistle blows, the train starts, and our brand new M. P. vanishes from onr view long before the echoes of the huzzas, the escaping steam, and the vibrations of the band cense to play around the lobes of our ears; but we have confidence nnd go home happy. A month has gone by; not time yet, old boy; our Si. P. has lots to do! Twomouths; well.lwonder! Three! this thing is getting monotonous! Four, five, six, "Groat Scott!" vou kick me, and I'll kick the next man. 'But hold! What's that, a telegram? YeB. The Hon. Mr. Flooo-over, M. P., will be home to-night, and after a week's rest, will be pleased to see his supporters and will explain somo of his views aud impressions. But, in the mean time, they can consult amongst themselves. And appoint a committee to wait on him ut bis pleasure. You flip up a copper, nnd you find what wus tail iB now iieads, and thnt your white elephant has turned out blnck.

A curious use has boen found for tho phonograph. It .was produced at the funeral of a clergyman in order that a sermon of the deceased upon himself might be heard by tbo mourners. Ax actress in Now York has entered a claim that a particular poso) which sho assumed while being photographed "is all her own," and that no other actresa or photographer has the right to appropriate such pose.

Her dresses were made from the calico used in draping some of tho eity windows when those gentlemen died. It very soldom happens that bees will mako their honey and comb in the open air, hut sueh a case has been found in an orange grovo southeast of Orlando, Fla., where a swarm of bees made a large piece of honey on the limb of an orange tree.

A St. Louis woman identified a body in tho morguo as that of her husband, from whom Bhe had beon separated for several years, and gave it an expensive funeral. Her husband has since turned up alive and well, and, having learned that his wife had hurled him in style, called on her to express his thanks.

The recent discussions concerning the alteration of the United States flag, in recognition of the admission of the new States into the Union, naturally provoked a certain amount of inquiry Into tbe history of the stars and stripes, The general facts In regard to the adoption of the National flag are more or less woll known, including the much-debated question aa to whether or not the emblem owes its present form to the faot that the family arms of George Washington included the stars and stripes that are now so familiar. However this may be, it is certain that the flag was by act of Congress passed June 14, 1777, established aa having thirteen red and white stripes and a union of thirteen white stare in a blue field, and tbe stars, instead of being the six-pointed stars of heraldry, as they are on our coins, are, and always have been, the five- pointed stara of Washington's coat-of- arms, known in heraldry as "mullets." The flag was, January li), 1794, decreed by act of Congress to havo the number of both stars and stripes changed to fifteen, and this was tho flag thut flew nt tho battles of Fort Mellenry and Xew Orleans in tho war of 1813, and whioh was sung of for tho first timo as tho "Star-Spangled Banner." By an aot nf Congress passed April 4, 1818, the lltigwas again changed finally, and It was resolved that tho stripes should be thirteen in number and that the blue Held should contain as many stars as thow might he .States in tho Union. This much is generally known, butonly a few perhaps aro aware that tho flag as it Is now wus designed by Captain .Samuel C, Reid, and thut the ono mado by hia wife, a silken ensign of the present form, Hew nt tho masthead of tho brig General Armstrong whon it was destroyed by tho British squadron In tho port of Fayal in 1814. Congress passed a resolution of thanks to Captain Retain 1851), nnd he died shortly after in Now York. It wus tho claim of his son, Colonel Samuel C. Reid, now living and practicing as a lawyer in Washington, for the value of tho ship thus destroyed in a neutral port—a claim which lingered for years and years beforo Congress — which gave to the late David D. Lloyd tbe groundwork of the story of "The Senator," whilo old Colonel Reid himself, to whoso stubborn preseveranee the passage of the claim was due, formed the original model for Mr. Crane's character of Silas Donmsui in tho comedy. Colonol Samuel C. Reid is suid to be somewhat of a character in bis way, and it la certain that ho never tires of recounting the details of tho action in which hts father's ship was lost, and in whioh it is claimed tho English lost over threo hundred men and oflleers, while tho American loss was only two killed and seven wounded. The General Armstrong was finally scuttled near the beach, and subsequently flrod and blown up by the enemy.—N. Y. Times. TO TRY MEN'S SOULS..

No change could be noted in the condition of tho river yesterday except that the water rose a few inches higher than the previous day. The amount of floating matter suffered no diminution, and some huge piles of rubbish passed down. The new residences being built for Mr. T..I.

It is reported Unit it systematic effort will bo made this season to revive the noble game of base-ball. There are a good many devotees of the diamond resident in the city, and no doubt the nucleus of a good club can bo formed, The game should certainly be represented In WeBtminster. Thore will be the usual lacrosse practice on Queen's Park this evening, and a full and prompt attendance of nil players is expected. Victoria has settled down to real hard work, is playing a splendid team game, and is looming up hi better form than oyer liofore.

The continued heavy run of spring salmon is a matter of surprise even to the oldest fishermen on the river, and the fact is becoming more apparent every day that there is nothing in the shape of a "spurt" about it, but a regular steady run. Last night the returns were beyond expectation, considering the high water, which it waa expected would have the effect of somewhat curtailing the catch. Few of the boats (jot less than 25 fish, while the majority captured many more than that number, and one boat netted 48 beauties, nearly every one of which us handsome spring salmon. The early sockeye run is now on, nud several fishermen have made good catches of these fish. They are not more plentiful than iu former years, and in n week or two will have disappeared. Prom New to Old Westminster. Mr. A. W. Lundbom, who left these shores on a trip to tho "old country," about the first of last month, hus written to his friend, Mr. Jos. Armstrong, from London, Eng., where he arrived on the 20th ult., just U% travelling dnvs from New Westminster—10 days in' all, of which 4 were spent. in New York, and half a day at Niagara. This excellent timo was mado over "the C,P.R. route. Mr. Lundbom'fl letter expresses a sincere and patriotic longing for Westminster's sunny skies again, mid a determination to shorten his visit and retrace his steps to the moBt charming and desirable spot he haBgeen, It is strange hut truo, that the same fascination operates unerringly upon all who spend any lime in this "gem of the west," and particularly this favored part of it—no one who hits sojourned here for any length of timo can ever be content anywhere else, Tlie Vosotulto. The steamer Yosemite arrived from Victoria to-duy at 12:30 p.m. She had 00 tons of freight for the 0. P. lt. and over 35 tons for this city and the river ports. Among that for tho C. P.

Reidt, a late well-known citis.011, is in the city on n short visit, having taken a run over from Portland, Or., whero he has beeu residing since last full. Mr. Reid reports a rushing real estate business on the Sound and in Oregon, and many inquiries for Westminster property. He has not seen such a solid, self-support ing and promising town ns Westminster in his travels, and, from his experience and observation south of the line, believes that property has only begun to advance in thiB city and vicinity. ' Mr. Reidt made a number of good deals this morning, on both sides of tho river, aggregating well up in the thousands, on property which he has held for some time and which had advanced largely iu valuo since Insi fall. Mr. Reidt intends to return to West minster permanently in a few mouths. He has seen no place so desirable, us to salubriousness nnd future prospects, iu which to take up his inuu- lane abode. — . ..♦ -»-♦ TliHt KowliiL' Muli. A meeting is to be held in the City Hall to-morrow evening ut 8 o'clock for the purpose of forming a boating-club. Every lover of rowing should bo present to give his opinions aud advice; there aro more skilful scullers in the city than was at first supposed and every man of thorn Ib quite enthusiastic over tho proposed club. The article ou rowing published in these columns ou Saturday, excited very general interest in the mutter, nnd if tho knights of the sliding sent only get together to-morrow evening, elect their officers nnd appoint an executive committee the thing is practically accomplished. For the vast majority of the young fellows In town who formerly belonged to good clubs iii England and eastern Canada, life will bo still more worth living in Westminster than over it. was before if they can go down to the club house of a morning or an evening, get out a shell and have a good spin up the rivor. There is a mile nud a huff Btrctcji of almost still water directly opposite tbo city on the othoi'B.do of tl-3 rivor, so the question of a practising place for shells Is thereby comfortably sottlcd, Every oarsman iu the city should drop into the city hall to-morrow evening. A Pulse Alirm. A wild alarm of fire rung out from the boll lower of the Hyack Hall at 11:30 o'clock last night, rudely awakening half of our citizens from thoir beauty sleep and causing those who hud not retired to find their way down to tho bull iu a very short timo. The locution of tho fire wns in doubt for a time, but ns it wus supposed to be somewhere on Montreal stroet, a party of volunteers, by direction of Chief Ackerman, commenced the tedious ascent, determined to quench the flames no matter bow fiercely they burned. When about half way up tbe hill the party met several citizens rushing wildly down town to ascertain where the fire was. They were told the conflagration waB up on the hill, but would not believe it aa they had just come from there and all was' well. This news stuggered the firemen for a moment, but after a short consultation the march was resumed, and when they reached Queen's avenue their trouble wbb rewarded by a sight that fully recompensed them for all the inconveniences they had suffered in climbing the hill. Directly ahead of them, though some distance back, were huge forks of flames darting upwards and "burning a hole in the night." The flight was grand in the extreme, but tho firemen had no time to observe scenic effects, and pressed onwards to the expected battle. As they advanced the fire seemed to recede, though it lost uone of its brightness, and tlie hardy volunteers began to doubt their ability to catch it. Finally an opening in the treeB revealed the place to the ordont extinguishers, and to their disgiiBt they discovered a clearing fire had beeu tho innocent causo of all the trouble and excitement. Tbo march buck to headquarters was made in perfect order, but in perfect silence. Baltic of ItHtoclie. Five yours ago to-day the battle of Batoche was fought on the banks of the Saskatchewan-—tbe lust decisive struggle in the rebellion of 1885. Tho capture of Ri.il a couple of days subsequent to tho _.i;!»t virtually crushed tbo uprising, although several shnrp encounters took place between tbo troops and rebels after that date. The fall of Batoche and Clio capture of Riel disheartened the halfbreeds, who quickly dispersed to their homes aud abandoned all hopes of ever making a successful stand against tho whites. Tho IndiiuiB, however, woro not so easily disheartened, and tbe secret arrangements mnde between tho different tribes to form a junction and drive the whites from the great plains would havo been temporarily successful, but for the prompt manner In which evory move was checkmated bv tho troops in the field. The bold attack on Poundmaker's camp by Col. Otter, and his command, principally mado up of the Queen's Own rifles, prevented this brave chief joining his forces with thoso of the rebol general at Bn- tocho, while the rapid march of tho Winnipeg battalion of infantry to the File Hills, and the driving back of Star Blanket and his SB" braves to their reserve, spoiled th_ game of Chiefs Pic-u-pot and Star Blankot, and the Pnsqun Hill Indians to form nnothor junction to sweep the country south of Clark's Crossing to Fort Qu'Appello. In the far northwest the Winnipeg Light Infantry, tho 05th Royal RifloB and tho Mounted Police, under Major General Laurie, succeeded in dispersing the forces of Big Bear, and quelled the rebellion in that quarter. After the battle of Batoche, General Middleton marched with his victorious troops, the gallant 00th RifleB, of Winnipeg, the 10th Royals, of Toronto, tho Midland Battalion, tho Winnipeg Field Battery, French's Scouts, Bolton's Scouts and the Intelligence Corps, to the relief of Prince Albert, nnd from there proceeded to Battleford and Fort Pitt. Tho march on Fort Pitt was the last active move in the rebellion, and all opposition from the rebels having ceased, the troops were shortly afterwards relieved from service and sent home. The anniversary of Batoche, though not celebrated on this Coast, will bo duly honored throughout Manitoba and the eastern provinces to-night, and while tbe history of the light lives tlie day will be remembered us one of which every Briton nnd overy Canadian may he proud.
