—The Suez Canal is very largely used by English merchantmeo. It is said that 90 per cent. of the enormous trade between England aud British India pagses through the canal. Two-thirds of the business dove through the caval is of the Auglo-Indian origin.

—The balloon is said to be the most destructive implement of war knowu to modern science. General Thayer claims that he cau lay a city in ashes with it in a night. Tous of dynamite percussion bombs may be carried into the clouds and dropped while the balloon sails over a camp or fortification or fleet of ships.

—The threatened strike of the Grand Truok Railway workmen has resulted in a complete collapse of the movement. The leaders made two efforts to bring the men into harmony with their views, but good sense prevailed, and the army of employes have returned to their work,

It is pleasant to know that Her Royal Highness has, in nowise, lost her interest in Canada and our people.

a geveral going on west of Battleford and north of the North Saskatchewan as far as Lac LaBiche. We have no means of know- ing how things go at Edmonton, but Battleford advices say Geueral Strange will have his hands full. Big Bear is the moving spirit, with Poundmaker a very able lieutenant in devil- try Iludson Bay _ officers say nothing can now keep the northern Iudians quiet. The government some weeks ago ioterdicted the sale of cart- ridges to Indians and since the troubles began it has been impossible for agents to get food supplies in. With nothing to eat and no means of getting it even the Indians who were iuclined to be loyal, are mutinons and bent on joining Bix Bear, who is living like a lord on stolen cattle and canned goods, I have it from good autherity that Catholic mis- siovaries in the region fully expect a war that will throw our operations here into the shade. What about the Blackfeet? If at our next meeting with him we can give Dumont a thorough smashing, the ludians to the west may be cowed. Un- fortunately the government forces have not upto the present had a fair chance

at the rebels. At Duck Lake the police and voluvteers had to retreat after fighting bravely, leaving their dead. At Port Pitt Inspector Dickens had to retreat before

overwhelming numbers. At Fish Creek we did pot retreat, but we did not ad- vance. Under these circumstances Riel and Damont are, from their point of view, justified in proclaiming that they are a match for us,and this is enough for the Indians to side with the halfbreeds to turn the scale, as he supposes. I don’t see now, even with the best of luck, the campaign can be finished this summer. A despatch from Clarke's Crossing states Middleton advanced ou the Tth to Gabriel’s Crossing, and a decisive battle is expected. Mounted police under Col. Irvine and Major Crozier are expected to co-operate on the north sida frem Prince Albert, and the steamer Northcote will also assist as a gun boat by water. OTTERS FIGHT.

Col. Otter has not yet decided his planus for the future. The attack on Poundmaker must be renewed, but can- pot be without reinforcements. The scouts sent out to reconnoitre the Indian position returned to-day and reported them to be still at Cut Knife Hill, where Saturday's battle occurred. It is believ-

ed that their loss in the action was heavy. Itis not known whether Big

Bear is with Pousdmaker or not. The wounded are all getting well. They are in comfortable quarters with the best attend- ance. Private Lloyd was wounded in the back while assisting Private Atchison in an heroic rescue of one of the dead from falling into the hands of the evemy. Three of the other wounded men, Cooper, Varney aud Watts, were shot in a gallant charge upon the evemy, led by Lieut. Brock. Watts is wounded in the scalp, but it is not severe. Cooper gota deep flesh wound in the hip; he is doing well. Varuey is slightly wounded in the right shoulder. Skeermau’s wound is in the fleshy part of the upper arm. Win- ters has a bullet through the cheek and under the nose. MeQuiilen is rather deeply wounded in the left side, below the ribs. Gilbert was shot in the back part of the neck, no bones touched. Ward, whose lower abdomen was pierced, is getting on well. Getfney is wounded in the fleshy part of the arm. Morton has aslight wound in the thigh. (ruuper Reynolds was shot through the shoulder and the bore is shattered. Lieut. Pelletier was wounded in the fleshy part of the thigh. It is reported to-uight that a letter was received in camp from a priest at Poundmaker’s stating that the Indiavs loss was 125. Two seveu pounders became disabled by a track breaking down during the engage- ment and to this Col. Otters with- drawal is attributed before the enemy was almost completely silenced. The returu was made in perfect order, and was covered by a perfect piece of gener- alship. The noen had no sleep the night before and no breakfast. Several of the
