FOR THE _ The following is an extract from a letter just received by Mr. John Hallam, of Toronto, from a friend at Winnipeg :— ‘‘ In regard to our troubles, if the Indians should make common cause with the half- breeds it may be of a very serious nature, and very diflicule to suppress, because of the extent of territory and the equipment of the enemy, they being all on horseback or nearly so. There is a very slow process of subduing them, aud that is by starving them, They wili be wily enough not to Jet themselves be drawn into a pitched battle, when the troops would fight them success- fully, but they will carry cn a guerilla war- fare, which, aided by their knowledge of the country, may prove very harassing to regular soldiers. I trust, however, yet that the Indians in general will refrain frem joining their half brothers.”’

Strong representa- tions had also been made by Archbishop Tache, by Mr, Roval, M. P., and by Lower Canadian members, the answer always being that ‘‘ something would be done,” This went on from 1872 until 1876, when Governor Laird took up the matter and ad- vocated « general settlement. His advice was not heeded. In 1876 and 1877 and 1878 urgent representation were made to government officials and as usual the in- variable rep!y was that the government were cousidering the matter, In 1879, when Sir John Macdonald came into power these representations were renewed.

waiting for explanations, it is quite pos- |

sible that General Kamarolf is pushing |

Karl Blind, the distinguished German revolutionist, in a letter to the Peace Asso-. ciation, declining to attend its Conference to-day, says :—‘'As the Cuar’s Government is manifestly showing such brutal violence, and as its final aim is India, arbitration between England and Russia would be use- less, and wonld encourage further aggres- sion on the part of the ruthless despotism which has shamelessly broken the most solemn pledges. England must make a firma stand, if [ndiais not to be lost ; it isa question of action now, not of words,”

The Russian papers are greatly anuoyed at the English occupation of Port Hamel- ton Island. One journal calls it the begin: ning of the blockade of Viadivostock. The Nove Vremya urges the government to annex L*sarett Bay in Corea, being islands in the Pacific, from Spain, and form cruis- ing stations. The Vredemosti, in an article on Russia’s finances, advises the artificial support of paper money and a prohibitive customs tariff.
