He declared Erastus Wiman to be an enemy rather than a f of Canada and claimed that the Pant actions of that gentleman proved him to be More interested in the welfare of new York than of the Domini Ioa. He criticized the policy of the liberals As disloyal to Britain and said they wore working to deliver this country up to the mercy of the United states where people would not listen to proposals of unrestricted reciprocity unless Canada consented to sacrifice British connections. Reciprocity As proposed by the liberals meant the imposition of the same enormous from the Mother country As were now Envoi cod in the United states. Nothing less than this would satisfy the americans. Sir Charles closed his address by Reading it cablegram announcing that a meeting had been held in London of delegates from All parts of eng land who had passed a Resolution favouring the government looking for closer relations be tween great Britain and her colonies and appointed an influential committee to Forward a petition.

At the final moment Oliero was no appreciable change in the appearance of the Aubner he had been lying a one dead for several Houra. Or.

A nation s tribute will be swelled with local Rem induce Noel from personal identity by residence with Ohio Missouri Kansas California Washington and new Yolk apart from the routine of campaigns and military inspection and i am impelled among the Gesta of the Winnipeg consulate to some particulars of a visit by Gen. Shorr Nan and unite to Winnipeg in 1880, with which he opened his last general review of Trio departments of the army of the United states his retirement in 1883 As Tho successor of and the predecessor of Sheridan. My first intimation of Tho visit by the Gen eral of the army not the commander in chief who by the Coo Titu Ion is the presi Dent was a note from his Honor lieutenant governor Cauchon who had been advised from Ottawa. I soon afterwards was informed that the general would be a guest of the Minnesota historical society at a Celebration of the 300th anniversary of the discovery of the Falls of so. Anthony by father he Luepin. I attended occasion at which the archbishop of St. Boniface was an honoured representative of the Canadian sort heat which eloquently addressed in historical commemoration by Hon. Gush Man k. Davis then governor now Sena Tor of Minnesota and Sibley ram sey Rice Marshall Nelson Blakely. And other representative names of St. Paul the hospitality of Wash hum Wilson Fletcher Stevens and King names with Many others typical of Minne Apolis. The exercises were on the Beautiful owns of the University of Minnesota in St Minneapolis commanding a Tine View of nhe Cascade m it might have been while president Folwell suffered no lapse of Tho admirable arrangements of the Day. The Federal government was represented by two members of the Cabinet while gon. Sherman was the cynosure of All eyes and hearts. It was touching to see him All unattended moving quietly at every suitable interval with a magnetic group of old veterans around him. In renewing our former Ohio acquaint Tanco the general had a Surprise for me. I leave for Winnipeg to Morrow. All my life i have been interested in Tho Selkirk Settle ment i shall Kothera the first ii sure. I Bavo received a kind invitation to Forb Garry from gov. Cauchon but As my party is Large i have begged him to permit me to go to a hotel before paying my respects to of course there was no further father Honne Pia for me. In an hour i boarded a train and found Premier Norquay and attorney general Walker waiting my arrival in Winnipeg at a late hour with a Mes Sage from government House the reason of which i could readily guess. His Honor personally officially and obstinately would not take non to Bis tender of hospitality. There was no alternative but the wire for me. to prevent a grave inter National complication there was a surrender of Sherman to Cauchon. John Haverty of the Canadian Pacific hotel was magnanimous and forgave me. Nothing was lacking in the reception. If there is a Doubter lot overhaul Tho free press or whatever other luminaries were then above the Winnipeg horizon. The scene opened at so. The railway terminus while the nexus of transit to Winnipeg was the Good ferry boat Adelaide moved in some ranter Iowa Way. But nil breadth and length for tha crowd of carriages. The general w Carriage and that raging red there was a hazardous proximity and i think no Barrier. With the first Sway of Tho current came the artillery Salute from the Winnipeg with smoke and concussion into the faces of a dozen of the most spirited teams in the Northwest. the voyage continued Adelaide slopping daintily a nost lady like movement but the Battery beating Balaklava. Fortunately there was an experienced horseman at the Noso of each hypnotized you May be Suie and while the hero of Atlanta was constrained to admit to his immediate companions Premier Norquay and senator Gerard that to had never been under ouch a lire in All his March through Georgia yet As his horses sprang up Tho Western Bank All was Well thab ended Well. One goad re sult of the fire and Thunder on the River waa Touloose the throats on the Shore with cheers led by Thomas Carman and the Gress up notre Dario and to fort Garry left nothing to to desired or exceeded. Col. Osborne Smith commandant at Forb Garry with a mounted escort was the first to receive Tho distinguished visitor and surrounding his Carriage attend him to fore Garry where Tho reception of the party by the lieutenant governor and Cauchon while quite informal was every Way delightful. It wan about time for Tho general to air his archaeology. after a quiet vice regal breakfast next Day his Honor Iri adv or acceded to a suggestion for a War and emerging from historical Gateway which still stands to substantiate the statements of this narrative the distinguished civil and military gentlemen surveyed landscape. Gover asked Tho general in his Quick nervous Way where was if the governor hesitated for a moment to understand the allusion to the Post build by the North West for company at the jul motion of the Assiniboine Aud red Rivers in the first or second decade of the Century the majority of the readers of this paragraph doubtless in the same category will please suppress any tendency to Cenzori oneness. For the locality of Gibraltar settled there was no authority upon Canadian history even upon Tho longed conflict for the i of the fur Trade of the Northwest higher than the governor. To anticipated the next inquiry where is fort Douglas by arranging to Call on the mayor of Winnipeg Hon. Alex Ander Logan Whoso residence is upon the site of the Colony Post erected by the Karl of Selkirk for the Protection of the colonists of Kildonan and called after Tho family Stock of Tho so Many prominent families in Tho Western states Are descended from Tho Swiss emigrants to Selkirk that general Sherman s interest in this immigration first to red River and then quite in a body about 1827 to the Frontier settlements of the upper Mississippi was oven exceeded by general Grant who on one occasion surprised me by his knowledge acquired particularly at Galena and St. Louis of to Beni fat Nily names. With the foundation of Tho roman Mission at St. Boniface and Tho anglican Mission at St. John s Gen. Sherman was quite familiar. His Rumzik to Tho orphan children at so. Boniface in reply to the hesitating recital by a Little child of a few words of salutation to your honoured self and your Noble family touched him nearly and every adult of the party was moved when lie replied god has done More for you As orphans than too Many parents do for their Little of course there was a Public reception at government House. Miss Rachel Sherman accompanied her father As did also his Secre tary maj Bacon now or lately coir Maudant at fort Totten. The attendance was eminently representative and excited great in Terest. Others of the general s party whose names i do not now recall expressed them selves More than satisfied by their first experience of foreign travel. Let me not omit to repeat one observation of general Sherman made to me while oos Orving a por trait of Queen Victoria the English ple will never Kofr How much they owe to that woman until they but the whole Over neveral have lacked an essential tone of color if the general had not at ended a horse race. Consigning miss Sherman to the escort of or. Joseph Vauchon for a Gallop Over the Prairies now transformed by government buildings Aud tha Winnipeg went end and releasing himself from official environment As much As possible the general was unmistakably engrossed for an hour or More with equestrian Points and performances. Lie had i Ard of r Melbourne and other Hudson Bay Stock importations Roljic. Camp Belt s pilgrimage on Snow Shoei for sheep to Kentucky in 1833 returning through a wilderness of 2.000 Miles with 250 out of was a familiar legend he was erudite and a Little dogmatic upon cresting English or Canadian thoroughbreds upon native animals of Tho Western Plains and mountains. Then at every crisis in the pontus to of Speed thu stamp of an English genealogy was most up Parent. Six years afterwards Gen. Sherman accompanied by miss Mary Sherman was in san Francisco and thinking it possible that lie might Maka the transit by the Canadian Pacific from Vancouver to Winnipeg started without positive Assurance that he and Hia daughter might not have to to dumped a unction of tote read through lathe Buo their Confidence was justified and their Delight with the scenery and events of the journey expressed with characteristic emphasis. They were during a Transfer of than a the site of fort Garry and As the carriages paused on Broad Way Tho figure of Aberman erect in his Carriage pointing to Hia daughter in another Carriage St. Boniface the Assn Boine its Junction with red River and the Westward change since his former viui1 wan not the least interesting souvenir of Sherman in Jamie. Yer has he been caught London police think they have Jack the . A Sailor arrested for the mar Der thought to be the Public do not share in this belief. London feb. Polico have Little doubt hut that they have got Jack Trio Ripper Aud that the Bailor arrested on suspicion in Whitec Siapol a the murder or of Carrot Nell Well an of the Oloc a victims. It that Tho accused Runau was lately fireman on the steamship Fez from Turkey. To lad in his a formidable knife with which Tho horrible cutting might Well have been inflicted. Thuro is wild to he other startling evidence in of the Polico which will be fully revealed when the prisoner in charged formally with Tho murder to Morrow. To Baa been taken to Arbor Square heavily guarded and is kept under constant watch. Three a no doubt that he was with Carrot Nell Thordy before the murder and that to was in England it the time of the former tragedies. The police seem confident that they it int nabbed the to prions Jack the Kipper but the general Public in ski As to the fact of the Bailor Man with bloody clothing be ing Tho hero of a dozen murders which Nave preceded that of Frnncis co Leinau. In is quite Likely that he committed Tho last crime but there is nothing to connect him with thu Long a flies of similar atrocities which have terrorized the Hitech Taitl Dia Tinct. Tho Polico authorities Are being censured for hav ing relaxed the Vig Dinse with which until recently the District haunted by Ripper Wuu guarded. Tho lost Orrinio is attributed to Thia negligence just a a Long immunity from these horrors since the last previous butchery is attributed to the extreme activity of the officers i teems like piety Good Evi Dence of the correctness of this theory that it was Only a fortnight ago that Tho precaution of wearing rubber boots was Given up bythe patrolmen of the District. Tho noise Leveness with which constables went their rounds made such murders As that of Carrot Nell impossible or too risky to be attempted by even the daring but Tho sound of an officer s approaching Steps audible a Long distance at night served As a guide to the whereabouts of the minion of Trio Law and made crime comparatively easy. Newspapers Are full of letters from citizens offering Vari Ous suggestions for the Benefit of the Polico in their search for the murderer. But a Fow of these Are original most of the proposals having Brwn brought Forward at the time of the former excitement Over the same matter. The Star takes this occasion to advocate the redemption of the poverty stricken and crime Ridden mosses As the Only cure for such monstrous Crimson. It declares that realization of general Booth s scheme for the improvement of the condition of the lower classes is less of a dream than a the extinction of such criminals As Jack the so Long As the mass of misery and wretched Ness on which such criminals thrive is left to exist.
