I feel sure they would not attack any one, oy rf;lny the role of the defentive, but if attacked I would not account for what they would do; I know they would not run. IF THE INDIANS RISE GENERALLY The whole aspect is _changed. There will be no end of trouble. It is perfectly horrible, but I keep hoping that they will not rise in & body. I would advise the govenment to at once send a strong force of troops and deal with them by no_half measures. by nature cowards and have as much delight in scalping a woman or child as & man, but if you can overaws them they are soon rendered submsssive, When I say deal with them by no half measures, I do not mean to slaughter them by the thousand. but if they coatwue to act in the manner they appear to be doing it may necessarily make an example of them. T am very much surprised at the Indians rising, because even in their wildest moments THEY WERE ALWAYS FRIENDLY To THE WHITES, Eversince I came to the country T have never known these Indians to be other than friendly to our miesionaries, to the Hudson Bay officials, indeed to any whites. I have always contended that the half breed was a link which bound the Indians to the whito people, and the moment thatit is broken, the bond is severed, and there is no knowing to what distance the In. dians may go, As for my opinion of Riel, I am deeply sorry for him, "I think he may bs misjudged. He usually counselled constitu tional mensnres, Butif Riel has really in- cited the Indians to rebel and rise he has incurred a great responsibility, the magni- tude of which he can never be aware, I could not excuse him for that act, RThe ulxt{v'lth battallion, from Montreal, arrived at Winnipeg this morning, and went west for Calgary this afternoon, The ninth, from Quebec, is expected to-morrow.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Reports of Aprl to the ¢.partment of agri- cultuce indicate a redaction of over ten per cent of last year’s area of winter wheat. The aggregate _shortage amounts to 3,000,000 acres. A decrease is reported in overy state except Oregon. It is 22 per cent in Kansas and Virginia, 20 in Mississiori, 15 in Oalifor- nia 14 in Alabama, 12in Tennessee, Illinois and Missippi; 11 in New York and North Carolina, 10 in Maryland and {Texas, 8 in New Jersey, West Virginis, Kentucky and Tndiana, 7 in Georgin and Ohio, G in Pennsyl- vania and re, » in Michigan, 3 in Ar- kansas and 2 in South Carolina, The present condition of,wheat as represented is worsethan in '83 Ttis 77 per cent against 98 last year, and $0in 1883, In 1881, the year of the lowest re- cent rate of yield, the condition April 1st was 85, and & serious loss was sustained afterwards. The real state of the crop will be better shown a month hence, when the vi tality of the roots have been demonstrated and the character of the spring determined, On the present showing the reduction of the yield is on the basis of last year’s production, and promises to be nearly 40,000,000 bushels, on account of the reduced area, and more than 60,000,000 from winter-killing and low vitali- ty. Whether the crop well exceed 400,000,000 bushels or fall short of it depends upon the reliability of present appearances, and on the future conditions affecting the growth and ripening, The soil was in bad condition at the time of seeding on the Atlantic coast from Now Jersey to Georgia, and in West Virginia and Tennessee, It was better in sovthwest Missouri, Lllinois and Michigan. Inthe Ohio valley it is scarcely in medium condition. and the damage by Hessian fly was not severe though worse in Indians, Illinois, Missouri and Arkansas, where injuries hava occurred in three-tentha of the reported territory. The acreage of rye has been decreased in about the same proportion as wheat, but the condi- tion of the crop is decidedly better, the aver- age belug 87 per cent.
