The government organ says tho grievances of the half-breeds will have to be beard some day, fend the sooner the public understands them the better. An unreasoning thirst for a blood revenge would be a misfortune. The expedition is probably costing 940,000 per day, and already, in all probability, some $800,000 has been spent. Fig"hting for the mere sake of fighting or for revenge is poor business, and our people will be best pleased with a bloodless if successful campaign.

He was Joined a few days later by a man registering at Arthur Preller, Rochester, N. Y., who brought with him five heavy thinks, which he ordered to his rooms. The two were rarely seen together. Both poid their bills about five days ago, and disappeared, leaving their baggage. Yesterday a perceptible odor from the trunks led to an investigation. One of the trunks was opened, and within, lying on its back, was the body of a man, apparently 35 years old, dressed in shirt ah.i drawers only. Underneath the body was a scrap of paper, on which was scrawled, "Bo end all traitors to the great canse." All evidence points to a foul murder.

The poise, which had been feeble for so many hour?, grew stronger, while the • horrors of the cancer were lessened through medicated baths; and in the afternoon Gen. Grant was bo well that be sat in the library and read the morning papers, surrounded by bis family. A little before O.o'clock on Monday night Dr. Douglas and Dr. Shrady were present in the general's room and decided to decrease the amount of morphia to six minims. At 9 o'clock on Monday night Gen. Grant fell asleep and was troubled hardly at all by his cancer. Suppuration had set in, but the medicines of the doctors allayed the effects of this running virus. Gen. Grant during the afternoon and evening walked several times from his bedroom to his library, and enjoyed the company of different members ,of his family. At 10 o'clock' he retired, and since that time has been sleeping in his chair, His cougn is not troublesome, and tbe secretion of mucus is slight. His pulse and temperature are unchanged, and there is at present a promise for him of a quiet night. • NiwYork.

The Russians arc making tempting overtures to Turkey, baiting the hook with provinces on tho northern boundary, tbe possession of which would tend to consolidate and perpetuate the Turkish empire in Europe. Tbe solioitude of both England and Russia for Turkey's friendship Is, of course, caused by the tatter's control of tbe Dardanelles, which commands the entrance to the Black sea. There is, however, this important difference between thetwc suitors for Turkey's l'avor. England could force the straits, and Russia could not. No ordinary war vessels of either navy could pass tbe Dardanelles castles and the forte and batteries which line the straits from the sea to the sea of Marmora, but the forts could be silenced by two or three of the monster turret ships such as the Inflexible. Devastation, Terror, Alexandra or Hercules. Then these floating steel forts could bo star tioned afceither end of the straits to protect English and exclude Russian vessels. Tnese facts arc as well known to Sultan Abdul HanHd as to the British admiralty, and it if firmly believed here that his friendship will oventually be given to tho side carrying the heaviest guns. The Dominion government is no doubt negotiating with Riel at present through Gen. Middleton, and there is a strong feeling here that Sir John will buy him off and furnish him with money to go across the lines, thu3 ending the present rebellion in tho same way a3 the Red River troubles in 1870; when Riel was paid money to leave the country.

R. post in Rhode Island to take such action. G. A. H. Sympathy for the Sufferer. The general did cough at 2 o'olock in a sufficiently ominous manner to call the white nurse, Henry, to his side and to necessitate the awakoning of Dr. Douglas. The doctor washed the cancer and tbe general fell off to sleep again. Lights appeared in the windows of Hie mansion after this hour, at 3 and 4 o'clock, both in the general's room and in Mrs. Grant's room, and it *as thought something serious had happened. Not a person left the house and the general slept along peacefully and well, as though death were far away from him. These wonderful changes cannot be accounted for by the physicians. When all hope is dead and the doctors are predicting that the spark of life will soon cease to glim. aer, then it is that all the traditions of medicine are suddenly broken down and again the dying man calls from some unknown resource the power to meet the inroads of the cancer and offset the baleful effects of the drugs. The police investigation leads to the belief that the remains are probably those of Maxwell, one of the twain. Papers found in the trunks left by Maxwell and Preller show that they had some connection or dealings with Clarence Mclntyre, a druggist, at 1461 Washington street, Boston. Ottawa, April 15.—The prospect of collision between the troops and rebels in the northwest within the next three days is causing great excitement throughout the country. Official reports from Battleford show everything quiet there. Capt. Morris, in charge there, telegraphs that he sent scouts out to try and ascertain what had become of the large number of Indians who bad been encamped near the river since the raid was mado on the town, but could find no trace of them. It is generally believed they have gone north to form a junction with the Indians at Frog Lake, when the combined forces will advance eastward to join Riel. wpS itu NYCftB'l,  Oreg. Trans. 12 12U w.

A German named Humpf was insane, and was to have been taken to the Utica asylum last night, but on solicitation of his wife, who had a few days' old child, action was to have been deferred until yesterday, and an officer was designated to watch the house, which for some reason he neglected to do. Mi's. Briggs, who went to Humpf s house, was ordered away by him. Returning home she informed her husband, who watched the Humpf houso, and about 11 o'clock discovered it in flames. Humpf had cut his wife's throat, saturated hor bed with kerosene and set it on fire. Mrs. Eumpf was rescued. After the flames had been subdued search was made for Humpf. He had cut a hole through the ceiling and climbed to the attic where he had cut his throat. He was alive when discovered, but subsequently severed his windpipa and dropped dead.

St. Louis, April 15.—The body of the murdered mrfn found in a trunk at the Southern hotel proves to be that of Arthur Preller, and everything points to Walter Maxwell as the murderer. Preller and Maxwell are Englishmen of the better class, and were evidently commercial travelers or tourists from England. It is now believed that Dr. Maxwell chloroformed and killed Mr. Preller on Sunday evening, April 5. It is known whero he bought the drug, and his hurry upon that occasion was noticed. On the next day he disguised himself by changing his beard and buying clothes, which he said would "make him look like a Yankee, and since April 6 no man in St. Louis has seen him.

To meet immediate expenses in connection with the rebellion Sir Leonard Tilly laid a message from the governor jreneral on the table of the house, recommending that parliament authorize a special credit rate of $700,000. It is stated that th9 force now in the field is costing the Dominion government $9,000 per day. "Is the village to raise monoy by taxat: to pay such officers as these," said he, "wi assault a man in broad daylight on bis oC- premises?" He asserted that £hakespeai threw him to the ground and held him dow while his wife beat him, and that the offi» also used gross and profane language tr ward him.

A livi time is anticipated at the hearing. When Senator Chaffee left the house a little after 8 o'clock he said that the general was wonderfully improved and in a far better condition than he had been for weeks. Gen. Grant usually sits in his easy chair wearing his dressing gown. Mr. Gladstone's apparent hesitation over the Kushk river affair has emboldened Russia, and she is now taking her turn in demanding explanations and withdrawals. The report is confirmed that M. de Giers has demanded an explanation of the presence of Capt. Yates, of Gen. Sir Peter Lumsden's staff, at the Kushk river battle, and of the part he is said to have taken in provoking that engagement. Special dispatches from St. Petersburg even assert that Russia has demanded the recall of Gen. L/umsden himself, on the ground of his pronounced sympathy with the Afghans in their hostility toward Russia, but this statement is doubtful. ' ard—Opening. ■ ighest  Lowest —,...

Fresh hope had been inspired into Mrs. Grant and her children that the soldier would live to see the waves at Long Branch or enjoy the invigorating air of California. Gen.

B., April 15.—A letter from the boundary line, Victoria county, states that there is ample evidence that the Fenians propose to invade New Brunswick this summer. "Here, on the boundary," says the writer, "the thing is openly discussed and made no Secret. The meditated blow at New Brunswick will be struck when the military are all in the northwest territory. A number of mysterious strangers have arrived in Aroostook and New Brunswick this spring. No person appears to know either them or their business. One of these men has been making inquiries with reference to barrack accommodation for 1,000 men at Fort Fairfield, and incidentally «aid that a similar force was to be dispatched to Houlton. None of the New Brunswick military have yet been sent to the northwest, and it is extremely doubtful if they will be, so that if any of our Fenian friends from across the border contemplate a visit we will endeavor to make it as interesting for them as possible." * To Hake ft Interesting for Fenians.

About 11:30 o'clock Barry was seen walking at the side of the Lake Shore railroad track, near Alabama street. He appeared to be walking along leisurely and no attention was paid to him. A switching train approached where he had stopped for an instant, but he apparently paid no beed to it. Suddenly, as it drew near, he stepped upon the track and walked toward the approaching train.
