Tim Rebel Chieftain Receives tlm An
nouncement of Ills Impending Fate
AVI t!i Calmness of a Hero—The
Scene In HU Cell, Ktc.
Regina, November 15.—The special mes
sengerbringing the warrant signed by the
Governor-General of Canada directing that
tho execution of Louis Riel, leader of the
Cauadiau lmlf-breeds in their recent rebel
lion, should take place in accordance with
the vordict of tho jury which tried him,
arrived here on a special train at 8 o’clock to
night. There, is no longer a doubt that
Kiel will meet his fate to-morrow.
Tho arrival of the warrant was
s surprise to even many of tho officials, who,
owing to the late hour and previous delays,
had n-gued another respite would follow.
Riel received the formal intelligence at nine
o'clock to-night in his cell, in the guard-
room of the mounted police barracks, three
miles west of this city. The intelligence
was conveyed to him in person by High
Sheriff Chapleau. The scene was in many
respects remarkable. Tlie famous
rebel’s cell is immediately adjacent
tho guard room of the troops doing night
latrol duty, fully fifty of whom occupy
ho room. Through the iron gate in tho
front of the cell was seen an armed sentinel
duty, nnd outside the building a cordon
of armed men were pacing their beats. The
iron gate was thrown open on the spproach
of High Sheriff Chapleau and
Colonel Irvine, commandant of tbe
mounted police. The representative of tlie
Associated Press was allowed to be present
by courtesy. lUel, who had been convers
ing with the surgeon of tho post, rose nnd
welcomed the sheriff in a hearty nnd thor
oughly unconstrained way. His initial
greeting was, “Well, and so you have come
with the great announcement. I am glad.’
Sheriff Chapleau replied: “Tlie death war
rant has come.”
Riel, continuing, said: “I am glad that
at last I am to be released from my suffer
ings.” He than broke off into French and
thnnked the sheriff for his personal consid
eration. He proceeded again in Ehgiish:
“I desire that my body shall be given to
friends to be lnitl in St. Boniface."
This is the French cemetery ncross tho
Red river from tho city of Winnipeg. The
sheriff asked him if he had any wishes to
convey os to the disposition of his personal
estate or effects.
“Monsieur," replied he, “I have only
this,” touching his breast above the region
of the heart. “This I gave to roy country
fifteen year* ago, and it is all I hare to give.
He w*os asked as to his peace of mind,
ond replied: “I long ago made my peace with
my God, and am as prepared now ns I can be.
At another timo you will find that I had n
mission to perferm. I want you to thnnk
my friends in Quebec for they all havo done
for me."
He continued, in reply to another ques
tion: “I am willing to go. I shall he per
mitted to say something on tho scaffold?” hc
said in a tone of inquiry. When told that
ho would lie allowed to. be said, smilingly :
You think I may speak too long ; that it
will unnervo me. Oh, no. I shall
not be weak. I shall feel thnt when
the moment comes I shall hare
wings wnich will carry me upward.”
He closed by saying to Sheriff Chapleau, a*
he held out bis hand to him in parting:
•Adieu, mon ami." His eye* were closr
and unflinching and his steady bearing
throughout was such ns to evoke sincere
admiration.

the Premier's effigy had been portly bema^

remark: “Ce tnonuu serpent"
(There goes tho cursed serpent.) Tho
Queen's statue was much blackened.

priest told him it was his duty to pray for
his enemies. Ho replied, “That is so, and
and at once began to pray in English for
the premier of Canada, hut in his supplica
tion he asked that the government might

Riel partook of a light repast at 11 lost
night. He ate no breakfast this morning,
which caused him at one time to
show signs of faintness. He afterward
recovered from this weakness, and it
appeared to require no effort iu mounting
the ladder which led from the attio of the
guard house on the way to tho scaffold.
There was barely a quiver when the drop
fell nnd his death was pronoun :ed an easy
one. During the early hours of the morn
ing ho gathered up nil his papers which
covered his desk, embodying the supposed
visions he hnil seen and his prophecies, and
asked the privilege from tho officer of tho
E inrd to destroy them. This was allowed
m, and gathering them up lie carried them
to an open stove fire and thrust them
in, watching them until the flames
bad devoured them. He then returned to
his cell and his devotions.
It would be difficult at this time to gnugo
the sentiment clearly in the Northwest us
to Riel. The expressed views uro almost
entirely nnfnvomblo to him, and haU-brccds
nre usually silent upon tho topic. A ma
jority of tho resident population bcliovo

Regina, N. IV. T., November 10.—Louis
David Reil was executod ou a scaffold at

near this city, for high treason against tho
Queen of Great Britain, at 8:30 o'clock this
morning (mountain time.)
lie displayed an inclination at tho last
moment to make sn address, bnt Pere Andre
reminded him of his promise, and he then
rose anil walked toward the executioner,
repeating his prayer* to the lost moment,
the filial word* escaping being "Merci, Jess."
He died without a struggle. Not to exceed
twenty persons were permitted within the
confines of the barracks to witness the exe
cution, nnd it was certainly performed with
decorum and dispatch. Ilia body was taken
in charge by the ooroncr and tbe verdict
usual to all state executions was rendered.
Muntskal, November 10.—There was
considerable excitement among French
Canadian citizens here when the news of
Riel's execution was received. French
Canadian students to the number of about
GOO; carrying the tri-color, marched through
several streets of the city, giving vent to
cheers for Riel, and denouncing Sir John
McDonald. They groaned as they poised

likely be a demonstration to-night
Regina, N. W. T., November 10.—The

erected within a contracted enclosure im

the only riew of it was through a window

hare nothing more to say.” There wa* some
delay in adjusting tbe noose, but Biel did not
remark upon it As the white cap closed
over him, he was to be beard distinctly re
peating hi* prayers. During the night I
Pere Andre urged upon Biel not to attempt
an address on the scaffold, and suggested
that a reprieve might be on ita way. This
idea Iliel etrennonaly repelled. He said be
knew hia hour had come, and that be was
not only prepared bat that be would not
have it any other way, aa nothing
{but the alternative of a prison for lite
awaited him, and to him death was
preferable to that.
Daring the night he addressed a letter to
his mother and to Ida aiater, which touched
upon the affection be bora them. He added
a codicil to hia will, specifying that he de
sired tia boly to be laid by tho aide of his
father’s, in St. Boniface Cemetery, at Win
nipeg, which request will be carried out.
P. re Andre will go there with Riel's remains
within a fow days. His body waa interred
today under the scaffold. He prayed almost
constantly during the night, 'using the
prayers of the chnrch, and then again pray
ing estempon in both French and English.
He directed a prayer for his friends in ti,*'
I United States, where he declared most of
new* that Mayor Langelier left the city this
morning on professional business, anil I
it will bo impossible for him 1
to return to-night except by a special train. [
However, it is believed he has left some one
to act in hia place in case of riot “B"
battery and other soldiers on garrison duty
at tbe citadel have not been sllowed out all
day, and are held in readiness for any emer
gency. Three scaffold* have been erected
in the street and flags are to be hoisted and
burned, and each mock execution ac-
compan’ed by a speech which
will nndonbtetUy sllr the already
kiinllcd enthusiasm of the populace and
perhaps cause a riot. A meiting of tho St.
Jean ilaptiste Society was held this after
noon, and a resolution passed ordering the
president to have their national flag draped
in mourning and hoisted at half-mast for
eight days. French citizen* residing in St.
John, a suburb, have decided to dose their
houses and business establishments and
attend charch en masse to sing a solemn
service for the repose of Reil's soul.
La Electenr, the Liberal organ, appears
to-night draped in monmiffig and all ita ar
ticles are most stirring. All ita columns
are devoted to Riel matter, and it calls upon
French Canadians not to forget “the martyr
who was murdered for tbe French cause.”
The story that tbe Eighth Battal
ion has been ordered under anus ia
contradicted. It ia believed that if that bat
talion was called out great disturbance
would be caused, as it i* composed of Eng
lish-speaking soldiers.
Monteesl, November 16.—The City Court
this afternoon adopted a resolution to ad

Toboxto, November 16.—The excitement
here over Riel quickly subsided after it be
came definitely known that he bad been
executed. The courage displayed by ltiel
on tbe scaffold was admin -l, biit no expr
