J il PAGE SIXTEEN THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1932 \d # Oshawa Dollar Days - Thursday, Friday, Saturday MANCHURIA MAY BE A REPUBLIC Japs and Chinese Working For Constitutional Government Harbin, Manchuria --General Ma Chan-Shan, Chinese hero of Tsitsibar, and General Chang Ching-Hui. independent governor of Hellung-Kiang, have joined the Japanese forces, a diplomatic vie- tory for Japan more important to imperial ambitions in Manchuria than the conquest of Harbin. This triumph of Japanese nego- tiators brings within reach their aim to set up a Manchurian re- public or constitutional monarchy. The invaders are working franti- cally to accomplish this end at least before the arrival of the League of Nations' Commission of Inquiry. The armies of the Chinese gen- erals will be employed, Japanese sources stated, to form the nu- cleus of a Manchurian militia to stamp out opposition to the Tokio regime and act as replacements for the Japanese army of occupa- tion, which will be withdrawn as soon as possible. Col. Doihara of the Japanese army "will become the head of the military mission that will re- main in Harbin for a year or two," he announced recently, Present indications are that General Chang will be president of the republic. QUICK ACTION FOILED RIEL Plan To Cheat Gallows By Rebel Leader Proved Failure Regina, Sask. -- Quick action by the government frustrated well-laid plants to snatch Louis Keil, noted leader of the Saskat- chewan rebellion of 1885, from the gallows at Regina, executed here in that year. Mrs. Z. M. Hamilton, whose father was an intimate ac- quaintance of Riel's has given an interesting chronicle of the pass- ing of the famed Metis chieftain. Mrs, Hamilton came to Regina with her father in 1882, Three years later came the capture and trial of Louis Riel, 'There was great excitement at the trial when Riel was sentenced," sald Mrs. Hamilton. "I do not think the government was anxious to hang him, It was arranged that my fathes should establish re- / lays of fast horses between Re- | Rier | was to be let out of the court | room and given half an hour, not | country | gina and the boundary. all the riders in the could have caught him." Disclosure by a confederate ex- posed plans laid for the sensa- tional escape, however, Mrs. Hamilton related. It was neces- sary to let someone into secret, The man chosen was a half-breed, himself under suspi- clon for the rebellion and related to Riel, Thinking to curry fa- vor for himself he disclosed the plan to the authorities. The guard was immediately changed and all hope of saving the prison- er's life vanished. "There was a lot of feeling against Riel at that time," Mrs. Hamilton sald, and not a few people thought he should not be buried anywhere except at the foot of the scaffold. After his death Mr, Hamilton arranged for hurial at a little church nearby and, with his son stood guard over the grave until resentment died down, Mr. Hamilton later _u* #etompanied the remains to St. Boniface, Man., where proper in- terment was made.

Nobody wants such houses nowadays. "Hitherto, all efforts seem to have been directed to increasing the stipends of the clergy, to en- able them to meet changed con- ditions, As far as the country clergy are concerned, this seems to me to be beginning at the wrong end. What is required is a drastic decrease in their liabili- ties.

This prosaic note, from an early | history of Halifax, is one item in the Jong account of troubles en- | countered by Hon.

'The winter | of 1749-50 was spent in contin- ual apprehension of Indian and French invasion, and in prepara- tion to receive the enemy. An or- dinance was issued compelling all | tettlers able to hear arms, be- | tween 16 and 60, to be formed in to ten companies of 70 men each, Laborers were constantly em ployed in raising a barricade and continuing it to the water side ond block houses were erected between the forts,' Today the Indian population of Halifax county has shrunk to 80 Yeu may see some of them in 6 gl 4 mayflower or ng mn Street, ha the winter bring- ts to market, At where a trading | posi 0 have been established b under t ms of a treaty ne | gotinted by Governor Hopson and | Jean Baptiste, Major Cope, leader small trible, in 17562, stands | the government's Indian school | for the Maritime provinces. There red children not otherwise cared for, may come for free ed- ucation, The old treaty which was end warfare between the settle and Indians, was signed by Hop- son and Cope, along with Chiari Lawrence, Benjamin Greene, John Salisbury, William Steel, John Col)ier and George Froth cringham, members of His Ma) esty's Council for Nova Scotia, It Is apparent that Cope had made the overtures, for the treaty's preamble reads: "At a council holden at the governer's house at Halifax, on September 16, 1762 . . . . . The answer of His § J {of & son, Esq., Capt, General and Gov- crnor-in-Chief in His Majesty's province of Nova &otia, or Aca- die, Vice Admiral of the same, and Col. of one of His Majesty's regiments of foot and His Majes- ty's council for the said province. To the proposals of peace and friendship made by Jean Bap- tiste, Major Cope, for himself and his trible, and to his offers and endeavour to bring here the other Micmac tribes to renew ye peace.' The treaty proper expresses pleasure "that we see thee here to commune with us touching the burying of the hatchet between the British children his puissant Majesty King George, and his children, the Mockmacs of this country." It goes on to say that "we shall not suffer that you be hindered from Hunting or Fishing in this Country, as you have been used to do, and if you shall think it fit it settle your Wives and Chil- dren upon the River Shubenaca- die, no person shall hinder it, nor shall meddle with the lands where you are, and the Governor 'will put up a truck house of mer- chandise there, where you may have everything you stand in need of at a reasonable price, and where there shall be given unto you the full value of your pelt- ries, feathers, or other things which you shall have to sell. you return here (as a mark of "We approve of your engage- roent to go and inform your peo- ple of this our answer, and then the other tribes, with the promise of your endeavor to bring them to a renewal of ye peace. When good will) we will give you handsome presents of such things whereof you have the most need." The council expressed the hope that "we shall see here some of your chiefs to receive annual presents whilst you behave your- selves as good and faithful chil- dren to our great King, and you shall be furnished with provisions for you and your families every year." To seal the bargain, "we have given you a golden belt, a laced hat for yourself and an- other for your son," Cope affixed his mark to the document, affirming his inteucion to "bring here with me to sign and ratify the Treaty of Peace upon the above sald conditions, in a month, or as soon as possible and I promise to engage to do my utmost endeavours to bring here the other tribes of Micmacs to Make peace." According to the record, '"'im- mediately after this document was signed, Cope left town' in a vessel, having requested Capt. W. Piggott should be sent to Indian Harbor, to meet the Indians there to ratify the treaty.

That he, Cartel, might depart, having been ran- somed, but that the first English- mar. he caught should be retain- ed until he, Leloutre, had full satisfaction for himself and his Indians," The matter was not all one- sided. "In April following, two men named John Connor and James Grace arrived at Halifax in an Indian canoe, bringing with i] them six Indian scalps. They in- formed the council that they and two others, having put into a place between Tor Bay and Coun try Harbor, in a schooner, were captured by the Indians and car- ried ten miles into the country, where their two companions were murdered; that they had surprised - the Indians at night, § killed several, whose scalps they secured, and having escaped to the seaside, seized a canoe and f§ made their way to Halifax," Provisions of the treaty ap- § parently dropped out of sight.
