RELIGIOUS WAR. Imination of the Toronto Troubles in a Serious Riot. ATTACK ON A CATHOLIC PROCESSION, Lives of the Pilgrims Saved by the Deter- mined Action of the Police, DEPREDATIONS BY THE RIOTERS. \ Toronto, Canada, Oct. 3, 1875. Toronto has been in a perfect fever of excitement all this week, Last Sunday rather a serious riot took place on the occasion of the Roman Catholic Jubilee pilgrim. age, and as this procession was expected to be con- tinued through some of the leading streets a repotition of the disgraceful'scenes of last Sunday in a larger and much more serious degree has been very generally feared, Meetings of Orangemen, Orange Young Brit- ons and of ultra-Protestants generally have been had during the week, professedly for the purpose of trying to avert a riot, but the means by which they proposed to accomplish this—namely, by endeavoring to induco the Roman Catholic Church dignitaries to forego the procession, did not recommend themselves to the good sense of the temperate and law-abiding portion of the community. THREATS OF A RIOT. The Archbishop was warned that if the pilgrimage took place rioting would ensue and blood would most certainly be shed, ATTITUDE OF THR ARCHBISHOP. His answer was that the procession was legal, that it was a religious ceremony enjomed by the Church and that it would go on at all hazards, In this stand he was supported not only by adherents of bis own Church but by the general community, who felt that to forego the procession was to acknowledge a triumph of lawless- ness and organized rowdyism, The Orange Young Brilons, to whom the blame of last Sunday’s riot was generally credited, made a_half- hearted protest that they were not as a body blame- worthy; but experiénce, both of to-day and last Sunday, does not alter the opinion of disinterested parties that they were the chief actors in poth riots. THE PROCESSION, An immense procession formed to-day about half- past two at St. Paul’s church, Power street, and pro- ceeded along Green street to St, Michacl’s Cathedral, headed by a large posse of police, PRECAUTIONS AGAINST ATTACK, Bodies of police were also placed at intervals along the procession on either side. The Queen’s Own Rifles, the Tenth Royals, the Lieutenant Governor’s body guard and a company of cavalry were posted at a con- venient distance from the procession, so as to be in readiness should serious disturbance occur, THR SPECTATORS. ‘The streets along the line of march and the neighbor- hood of the various churches to be visited in the pil- grimage were crowded by thousands of men and women, The roofs of many of the houses swarmed with expectant onlookers, and every accessible point of observation was alive with people on the qui vive for the expected row. The vast procession, in the front of which were many of the clergy and prominent adhe- rents of the Roman Catholic Church, reached St. Mi- chael’s Cathedral without any disturbance, BEGINNING OF THR RIOT, — \ After issuing from the Cathedral, and just as the march for St. Mary’s church, on Bathurst street, in the western part of the city, was about to be commenced, stones began to be thrown at the processionists by peo- ple in vast crowds assembled in the vicinity of St. Mi- chael’s, The police, by charging the crowd, managed to get the procession aguin started, but here THE FIRST SHOT was fired into the procession, The man who fired was promptly arrested, and the procession then continued along Church street to Adelaide, and along Adclaide in the direction of St. Mary’s church, ‘THE MOB OPEN FIRE. At nearly every street corner showers of stones were thrown and shots were fired, several of the police be- ing disabled, Guarded by the police, however, the pil- grims continued their way until they reached Bath. urst strect, where A SERIOUS FIGHT took place. The rioters were posted here in large numbers, and they kept up a constant fire of stones into the procession, wounding many who took part | in it. ATTACK BY THE POLICE. ‘The police had to draw their revolvers here and charge the crowd, and this led to a brisk and pretty general fire of small arms, which was kept up for some time. Quite a number of persons were shot, and ina | Indians first be given distinct! INDIAN AFFAIRS. COMMISSIONER SMITH ON THE PAYMENT OF ANNUITIES TO THE INDIANS—CAN THEY BE COMPELLED TO LABOR AS A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO THEIR RECEPTION—THE RELATION OF THE TRIBES TO THE GOVERN- MENT. Wasurxotow, Oct. 3, 1975. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has written the following letter to Bishop Whipple:— DerarTMENT oF THE INTERIOR, Iixpran Ovvice, Wasiinoron, Oct. 1, 1875. Dear Sin—I am in receipt of your letter of the ult., in which you ask whether a law has boen en: requiring Indians to perform labor a# a condition requisite to receiving their annuities. In Feply, I have to say that, by section 3 of the act making appro- priation for the Indian service for the year ending June 30, 1876 (copy herewith enclosed) it is quoted:— aat for the purpose of inducing Indians to labor and be- “supporting, itis provided that hereafter, in dis ing the supplies and annuities to the Indians, for which the same are appropriated, the agent distributing ‘the same shall require all able-bodied male Indians, between the ages of eighteen and forty-five, to perform service upon the reser- vation. for the beuelit of themselves oF tho tribe, at a reason: able rate, to be Axed by the agent in charge. and to an amount equal in valne to the supplies to be delivered; and the allowances provided for such Indians shall be distributed to them only on condition of the performauce of such labor under such rules and regulations as the agent may pre: scribe, Provided, That the secretary may, by written order, i Except any particular tribe, or portion Of tribe, from thé operations of this provision When he deoms proper and ex- pedient, Respecting this enactment of Congress I have to say that in my judgment itis in the direction of the best interests Of" the Indians as well as of the government, Probably five-sixths of all annuities or supplies and goods annually bestowed upon Indians are a gratuity to them, not being based upon treaty obligations. The position now assumed by the government toward In- dians is that of guardian.” For four yoars the legisla- tion of Congress on Indian matters has seemed to dis- card to a greater or less extent the absurd theory that Indians are or can be foreign and independent nations, and has come to recognize them more fully each year simply as wards of this nation, whom we are bound in right and humanity ta protect, care for and civilize and reparo as rapidly as possible for their place among the citizens of the Republic, This being the acknowledged rst duty of the government it will follow, I think, that the expenditure which the government makes for these Indians, either for their subsistence or teaching, should look directly and exclusively to their elevation out of barbarism. Nothing tends more strongly to perpetuate barbarism among Indians than the indisposition to toi. To cure this a motive must be brought to bear upon them which shail be stronger than their inclination to idleness, So long as they can procure sufficient food and clothing by any means in idleness or by the chase there can be no suilleient motive brought to bear upon them to induce labor. In this state of things I suppose no one will question the expediency or right of the government, if it has a gratuity to bestow upon the Indians, t6 make labor of some sort on their part a prerequisite to the roceipt of such gratuity, This the act of Congress above quoted does, and also goes further in requiring all annuities to be made on such basis, except in chses where the Secretary of the Interior, at his discretion, makes exceptions, This act atiects a few Indian tribes, to whom the gevernment has promised to pay, in cash or in goods, certain amounts annually, and it is con- cerning these that your question is raised whethersuch action 1s in accordance wi.h good faith on the part of government. In osuer words, can the government rightfully compel an Indian to labor for what the gov- ernment owes him without labor? To the question in such unqualified form of course there is but one an- swer, Itcannot. But if you will put the question so as to cover the facts in the case the answer may be dif- ferent. The government hus agreed to give a certain tribe of Indians an annuity of from $10 to $60 per capita, amounting to trom $50 to $300 annually to each Indian family of the tribe. This money, if received in cash by the Indians, will’ be lie if any value to them, It is. certain to be of some injury, tonding, as all gifts do, to pauperism and idleness, and may be of material damage in induc- ing imtemperance on their partand intriguo on the partot the miserable set of white men who always hang around an Indian reservation, On the other hand, let these to understand that the money is their own, and that the government proposes to give them every dollar of it; but that, they being wards of the government, for whom it is bound to pro: vide, not only during the few years for which this an- nuity money has been pledged, but for all their future, until they come to citizenship, it must, insist that they shall get the most good out of ‘their tunds; that it will be greatly for their.good to learn to labor, and that, therefore, the government will isist that’ they shall labor as @ condition of getting this money, Would not the moral sense of mankind indorse this position and action of the government? Especially when it is kept in mind that the labor requlred of the Indian is not for the benetit. of the government, but is exclusively for himseli—labor upon hia own house and farm, from which he is to derive the entire benefit, and which, in crops and improvements, will bring him, with scarcely an exception, in immediate returns, from ten to twenty fold the amount of his money annuity. And this without taking into consid- eration the much greater benefit whieh has been forced upon the Indian by his own labor, leading bim to ac- quite habits of industry aud leard fresh lessons in self- government, ‘The caso which I have supposed is not an extraordi- nary one in my experience in Indian affuirs, and the | method of forced industry, as illustrated, has been in operation among several indian tribes within the last two years with most gratifying results in inducing in- dustry and promoting the bavpiness and comfort of the Indians. I could give you ap instance of a tribe which had been accustomed for twenty years to receive from $150 to $300 per family annually, who have been | occupying one of the richest tracts of land in the United States ong act had become every year more squalid and wreiched and generally had been annually brought into a starving condition within a few weeks after receiving their annual cash payment. These In- dians were very much aggrieved and angered when, under my order, the agent compelled them to go to work on their own land and make a crop for them- selves a8 a condition for receiving their own money. | They plead their rights and the faith of the govern- few cases fatal results are anticipated. One man who | | habits and prospects of thai tribe. They get good had just recovered from a serious illness was trampled upon by some of the rioters, and so injured that his re- | covery is scarcely hoped for. SHOTS FROM THE PROCESSION. A few shots were fired from the procession; but this disposition to retaliate upon the rioters was very promptly repressed by the leaders in the procession, The police, by persistently, and at the great risk of their lives, charging upon the crowd, managed to keep them at a distance; and as many of the processionists as could obtain entrance went into St. Mary’s church, while the procession halted. Here the police formed a line across the street, along which THE RETURN PILGRIMAGE was expected to take place. This not only kept the crowd back but deceived them as to the route along whicb the procession returned to St. Paul’s; for, instead of going along Adelaide, King and Queen streets, in which bands of the rioters were stationed at intervals, the pilgrims, after emerging from church, proceeded in ratber irregular order to Front street, where they re- formed and along which they made the return march without any very serious interruption. The fact that the homeward march was comparatively free from disturbance was not only due to the ruse | above mentioned, but also to the fact that the military marched along Wellington street, next to Front and parallel with the procession, their near presence serving to cool the “ardor of the few rioters scattered along Front street, ATTACK ON A MOTEL. After the regular procession was over a body of row- dies made an attack ona hotel on Dumar streel, kept by a Roman Catholic, and committed some depreaa- tions. A policeman who interfered here was struck in the abdomen by a large stone and seriously injured. OTHER SMALL ROWS. A number of other small rows are reported, but at the time of writing the streets are comparatively quiet, THE GENERAL PEELING throughout the city is one of satisfaction, first, because ) ting ment. I plead in answer their necessities and the pur- pose of the government to beueflt them and held them to it The result is a complete transformation in the crops from their farms, their children are coming in to school, they are taking their land in severalty, put- up houses’ and acquiring “stock, ’ and need only to be held steadily to the present | restrictions for a few years—five at the most—when the riot was not so bad as was anticipated, and sec- | ondly, because the rowdyism, which is becoming so aggressive here, did not succeed in preventing a lawful procession.

After a few years of such treatment, if the treaty obligations still continue and the Indians have acquired habits of industry, it may be safe and advantageous to again give them apart or the whole of their annuities in cash.

CARELESS NAVIGATION BY RIVAL PACKETS ON THE OHIO—DAMAGE TO THE VESSELS, Louisvinue, Ky., Oct. 8, 1875, The steamboats T. T. Hillman and Vincent Shinklo, rival packets, ranning in the Louisville and Henderson trade under different managers, collided this morning twelve miles below New Albany, Ind, The Hillman is | chartered by the Louisville and Henderson Packet Com- pany and the Shinkle was recently put in the same | trade as an independent packet, The Shinkle was pros ceeding down stream and the Hillman coming up toward Louisville when the collision occurred, DETAILS OF THE ACCIDENT. ‘Tho passengers of the Hillman state that the boat was proceeding up stream in a light fog when the pilot on duty perceived a boat bearing down hard upon his own craft, under full steam, 200 feet away, The pilot of the | Hillman blew the whistle to stop engines, and, receiving no answer, blew «gain to back craft. The Shinkle then blew twice and ran across the bow of the Hillman. Tho bow of the Hillman was torn off up to the cap- stan, and an ugly hole torn in the hulls of both boats, and but for alot of tobacco hogsheads on the Hillman that steamer would have forced herself clear through the Shinkle. United States Inspector Mather was on board the Hillman and witnessed the collision and will at once investigate the affair, Walter Cartwright, a negro roustabout, while on the bow of the Hillman was thrown into the river and drowned, ‘artwright, on seeing the boats must collide, ran to the bow exclaiming, ‘I want to see this done, as I will be a witness.” Both boats were fall of passengers and were consid. erably damaged, The piltsaa 18 now at Louisville and nsville, NAVA INTELLIGENCE.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wasuxetos, Oct. 3, 1875. PROPOSAL TO TRANSFER ALASKA FROM THE WAR TO THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT—BENEFICIAL RESULTS ANTICIPATED. It is understood that Secretary Bristow, in his annual report, will strongly recommend the repeal of the law placing the main land of Alaska under the Indian Inter- course act, which would transfer the care from the War to the Treasury Department as it was in 1873, It is represented that by giving the Territory good govern- ment valuablo interests can be developed, such as the trade in sea otter and the salmon fisheries, the tax on which, in addition to the $416,000 annually received from the seal fisheries, would give the government more than six per cent per annum on the cost of the Territory.

THE EVER FAITHFUL ISLE. THE SPANISH RESIDENTS WEARY OF THE WAR AND ANXIOUS FOR PEACE—ALLEGED OVER- TURES TO THE CUBAN JUNTA—THE COST OF THE WAR TO SPAIN, Wasminatoy, Oct. 3, 1875, Information received here from Havana shows thay there is a great deal of dissatisfaction and uneasiness in Cuba among the wealthy Spaniards, at the prolongation of the insurrection, by which immense damage has re- sulted to all material interests im tho island, the injury being incalculable, They have, therefore, united ina remonstrance to the Spanish government, against the continuance of hostile movements to suppress the in- surrection, believing that by a wise policy peace may be reached between the contenuing parties without fur- ther bloodshed. OVERTURRS TO THR CUDANS. Not succeeding in their efforts for conciliation and relief in that direction, the story comes from sources which are said to be reliable that these wealthy Span- iards have, either directly or indirectly, proposed to the Cuban Junta at New York to co-operate with it in such measures as may affect an accommodation between the contending parties, but that the Junta decline their overtures, declaring their determination to continue the war until their object in commencing it—namely, the independence of Cuba+-shall have been secured, EXPENSE OP THE WAR, There is no means of ascertaining the entire expense of this war onthe part of Spain, further than that $40,000,000 were expended for military purposes in one year—namely, 1870-"71—in Cuba, to say nothing of the fleet of gunboats in Cuban waters, THE NUMBER OF TROOPS. The same official source says that the aggregate force under arms exceeded 100,000 men, more than half of whom were regular troops, and that the losses of the army of Cuba exceeded 18,000 men. THE INSURGENT FORCES at that time did not number more than 6,000 of all arms. It is in view of such vast expenses, without cor- pefpanding results, that prominent Spaniards, both in Cuba and Spain, are onxious for the cessation of hostili- ties; but it is the opinion of gentlemen at Madrid, as expressed in correspondence from Spain, that the want of stability in the government and the prevalence of civil war in Spain excludes a consideration of the pa- ification of Cuba. REPORTED SEIZURE OF THE CARGO OF THE URUGUAY. The Spanish Minister at Washington, now in this city, has received a cable despatch from the Spanish Consul at Kingston (Jamaica), informing him that the cargo of the steamship Uruguay, consisting of arms and ammu- nition intended forthe Cuban insurgents, has been soized by the authorities at that port, THE MINERS’ CONSPIRACY TRIAL, CONTINUATION OF SINEY'S TESTIMONY—HIS COURSE DURING THE TROUBLES, AS DESCRIBED BY HIMSELF, Crearrietp, Pa., Oct. 8, 1875, In continuing his testimony in the miners’ con- spiracy trial yesterday, Siney said that in his speech at Houtsdale, upon his arrival in that region, be said he was opposed to the strike and it never ought to have been entered into; that the men should be extremely careful not to violate the law, as the importation of Italians and others with no mining experience, and who could not mine coal without loss, was part of a scheme of the operators to exbaust the funds of the strikers in paying the fares of new comers back again and to goad them to desperate acts, which would bring troops among them and disgrace the labor organization, of which he was president; he offered to go to Goss Run alone to keep strikers from going there to inter- tere with blacklegs, and finally weut along with the crowd 80 as to pacify them there; he had the discussion’ with mine owner Fisher as to whether the road on which the crowd had assembled was public or private property, and he was upon one of the committees that unsuccessfully inter- viewed the blacklegs to get them to leave. He denied that be said to the crowd:—‘Come on, boys, this is public property,” or was in front when the crowd as- sailed the boarding houses, but told some of them they were doing wrong, and that he apprehended that they would get in trouble for it the next morning. oa crowd of strikers, who had met near Moshannon to in- duce the men there to join them, he said, addressing some of the Moshannoa men, he supposed they were pretty well able to stand now for some. time, as he had noticed on the railroad some Philadelphia and Reading railroad cars that ought to be filling by the men in Schuylkill county, then on strike, He did_not ask the Moshannon men to go along aud bring the Sterling men out, but what he said was that as it was reported that tho' Sterling men would come outif the Moshannon men did, “the latter should go up and seo if the ro- port was true, an if pot true the Moshannon men’ should go to work also, so that some would not be idle while others worked. There was no disorder or threats. He then went to Sterling with the crowd, and seeing the possi- bility of trouble left after cautioning the men and others with them about their turbulent disposition, He went to Houtsdale that afternoon to leave tho region, but meeting Joyce, one of the defendants convicted at the former cial, ‘was prevailed upon by him to attend a miners’ demonstration to come off at Nuttall’s Switch, From Phillipsburg he went to the Switch with a proces- sion, and there met Parks for the first time in the re- gion. The Morrisdale men not coming to the mecting, as expected, a committee was sent to their mine, where, as one of the committee, Siney criticised THN TREACHKRY OF THE MEN in continuing to work after having voted for the ad- vance, He urged that they ought to pull together with the rest. Several votes were taken by the men unsatis- factorily, and Parks made a speoch upon the necessity of the men acting in concert with the other miners, urging the advance as due them, and contrasting their hovels with the palaces of their employers. A final vote resulted in favor of quitting work. Siney then went back to Phillipsburg with the intention of leaving the county, and was there arrested and gave bail. Ap- prehending that, as Parks was supposed by many to be Still in jail, the bews of his own arrest would further exasperate the mo he went ap the next morning to Houtsdale to advise the men ‘against’ being either excited or discouraged, The Sheriff having applied to him for that purpose, he there assisted that officer in making arrest, The same | day, in a speech to the citizens of Houtsdale upon the conspiracy laws of the State, Siney complained that, while under the law the shooting of @ highwayman oF burglar in defence of one’s property or life was justifi- able, he and his associates were held amenable to the law If they merely went to reason with men who came among them to take the bread and butter from their plates; that the enforcement of an obnoxious law was the surest way to its repeal, urging his hearers to join his organization, and asserting that its efforts would not cease Gntil its members waiked in solid phalanx to the ballot box to obliterate obnoxious laws, ‘ Siney’s testimony was also to the effect that the Miners’ Organization was, in every sense, a public ono, and that he had never entered into any agreement to prevent men from working at the mines, THE CROSS-RXAMINATION, A lengthy and searching cross-examination by Sena- tor Wallacé developed the fact that Siney did not offi- cially declare the scrike illegal, nor call the local organ- ization together for any purpose, the purpose being to establish that he was not here in an oillicial capa- city. an offer by the defence to show that under the usago of the National Association strikes aro never resorted. to until after arbitration and negotiation through com- mittees have failed, and that all other peacetul and law- ful means for obtaining the purpose of the strike are discountenanced by it, was objected to and overruled, A number of witnesses substantiated Siney’s vesti- mony. ‘The argument for the defence will be made by Hon. George K. Barrett andgF, W. Haghes. THE AMERICAN GIRL, A POST-MORTEM EXAMINATION—CAUSE OF HER DEATH, Eumima, N. Y., Oct. 8, 1873, A post-mortem was held on American Girl this morn- ing. Her lungs were found in ahyperontc or congested condition, being engorged and greatly distended with ‘blood, very much increased in weight and of a dark or liver color, causing a suspension of respiration and in- stantaneous death, The probable cause of her death is stated to be overexertion while apparentiy convalescing from the prevailing epizootic, which is known by vete- rinary surqogns as @ treacheraps aud wagertgin diggase, | THE WHISKEY FRAUDS.
