R Tway made such n 1SSe definite a .ou d. be made for till' "' anent one of the force, which was t i sed to a strength of 500. Regina, the c ital ,of the territories, was chosen as hull,, -quarberc, and Fort Walsh and Wood Mountain were abaudoned,though the latter, from its commanding situation, has sines been re-established as a permanent outpost, ''Abataritial barracks began to replace the original quarters that the troopers had c cotton -wood kelt built for themselves of cot pickets, roofed wi poles and thatched with grass and c Comforts were provided iu the shape o ' reties, recreation rooms, and oauteen r the supply of small luxu- ries and t i beverage known frour, its au- thorized strength as " four per cent. beer," and the Police settled down to their new and ever-increasing duties as a permanent garrison. .All seemed to be going well for ree years, and then ceme " the psyehol- oglaal moment in the history of the North- west, Had the warnings of the Police been heed- ed. the rebellion of the half-breeds under Louis Riel would have been impossible. The actual outbreak found theist ready, but though the strength at the northern posts had been inoreased to 200, all deaisivo eaten depended on orders from Ottawa, 2,000 Miles away, At a day's notice Colonel rviuo, with officers and 80 man, all the arca avetiehl e, left Regina, and marching '21 miles in seven dive in the depth of a Northwest winter, passed right through the distriot held by the insurgents, cut- lianls.ingthere by his quickness and upset- ting Riot's plans to seize Prinee Albert, the key of the situation. Twenty-four hours a 4O14211:0044111114 all the posts undoubtedly olteoked a general rising of the Ludhiana Ab ,Macleod in par- ticular, the taet. and persomai influence of the offloer in command, Major Cotton aided by the swine qualities in his former chief, Colonel Macleod„ and backed ap by the admirable conduct of the rank and file, kept the Bla,okfeet, Bloods, and Piegaus from disregardingthe loyal counsels of old Crowfoot and joining Biel. Had they done so, every Indian in the ter- ritories would have rlsen,their Mende from across the border would have joined thein, and there would have been massacre and raping throughout the whole hole N'oithwest. Immediately after the outbreak the strength of the Police was inereaeed to 1,000, their present, number. Iti 1880 -Col- onel Irvine resigned, and was succeeded by the present commandant,Colonel Law- rence Herohmer. And now it is time to say something of the composition and rou- ene work of the force. he Northwesb Mounted Police, like the R yal Irish Constabulary, on which it was modelled, is, in the eye of the law, a purely civil body; its officers are magistrates, the men are constables. e t rices w allow, so far as . oir ums ill a w its organization, internal economy, and drill are those of a cavalry regiment, and when on active service in a mili- tary capacity, the off vers have army rank. The Queen's Regulations do not apply to it,liowever, and discipline as strict as in the army, is enforced under a concise and comprehensive enactment which pro- vides a maximum penalty of a year's im- prisonment and a flue of one month's pay, leaving it to the discretion of the officers to make the punishment fit the crime. Even the same °. 0.'s views naturally very, and if this provieonwere made a little more definite so that the defaulter, whose mili- tary "crime" consists in buttons insuf- ficiently burnished, or in miscalculation of the time available to see his sweetheart home before "last post" sounds, might meet a more uniform fate, a grievance would bo removed. Tile affairs of the force are managed by a distinct department of the government at Ottawa, under the political sapervisicn of one of the Cabinet Ministers, at present the President of the Privy Council. Mr. Fred- erick White, formerly Sir John Macdonald's Secretary, has for many years been the ONE IR =FIT :UDEItS. were occupied in organizing the defences of Prince Albert, and before daybreak Colonel Irvine, hoping to quash the rising by a prompt and decided movement, was on the way to reintorce Fort Carlton, Unfortun- ately, that very day ;Major Crozier had sent out a party to secure provisions and Iammunition at Duck Lake from falling into I the insurgents' hands. Resistance was made, and he went out himself, with, all told, 00 Police and Prince Albert volun- teers, and fell into a trap skilfully planned by the rebels whom he had no reason to think were in force. They were between 3+00 and 400 strong, however, and almost surrounded him. C'rozier's men made a splendid 'stand, though fighting in deep su•w which made their one field -gun almost ss, and with no better cover than sleighs, while the enemy were con - in. thick bush. After losing 12 d and 12 wounded they retired as adily and coolly as they had fought inging off their wounded and the un, and got back to Fort Carlton just as Colonel Irvine arrived there. It was the oi'y cheek the Police have ever experi- enced. That they would have retrieved the situa- tion by then selves no one who knows them has ever bled. flub they never had a free band. eueral Middleton, the Imperi- al officer in mmnd of the Canada militia, was on i; ,way to Winnipeg to direct a campaign ; t ey were already placed under • his orders and "the ceremonies of the wars moat be kept." •'" What are the Police doing?" was the question on every lip for anxious weeks.: Their enforced inaction, and the consequent lose of prestige that had so often enabled a handful of troopers to disperse hundreds of armed warriors, emboldened whole bands of Indians, to join the insurgents and heart- ened them to a determined resistance that cos , many heave lives to oseroome. All t .was soon known; but until the inner iistory of that sharp little campaign is written the injustice and misrepresentation will not 'be revealed which they were made to bear that others might'" make sure of reaping all the glory and reward. It is impossible even to outline here the events of 1885. The records and the, graves on the prairie tell what the police did whenever and wherever they got their chance. Their indispensable 'and invaluable aid has been fijankly acknowledged by commanders in. whom selfishnessdid not roar personal bray- er ,and their soldier -comrades were the first tojytestify that they, did their fall sharp, and re re, of marching, hard wok , and fight. 'at no man in the force wears the hat decorates many a volunteer who. t'as within 300 miles of the front, and his active service atthe base' of sup - T in the Home Guard of his own set it. And why ? 'Let red-tapedom >r for itself "The M:oanted Police doing their ordinary duty." A proud- .stinction it would le h and to invent. he duty done so well was no confined to tha:.,e who were with the three columns in the 1 ettl, Those left behind had heavy work and responsibility. The firm front shown std the preparations for defence at Controller of the department, its permanent civil head. The executive command is held by an officer styled tho Commissioner, and rauking as lieutenant -colonel. The Assis- tant -Commissioner ranks with a major, and after three years' service with a lieutenant - colonel. Ten Saperintendents, with amp - tale's rank, command the divisions, with about thirty-five Inspectors as sub- alterns, who correspond to lieutenants. Paymaster's and quartermaster's duties are done by the oflieers of each divisi n, and the Superintendent, of the depot divis- ion acts as regimental adjutant; an inspect- or performing similar duty for each of the individual divisions. The medical staff consists of a Surgeon, five assistant -Sur- geons and . two Veterinary Surgeons, the small number of the latter being supple- mented by veterinary stafP.sergeants. The non-commissioned officers are, as in the army, sergeant -majors, staff -sergeants of various sorts, sergeants, and corporals, while the troopers are called constables. The officers' pay is not large. The Com- missioner receives $2,400 ; the Assistant - Commissioner, $1,500 ; the Superintendents and Surgeon, $1,400; the Inspector $1,000 ayear, with, of course, free quarters, ra- tions, light, fuel, and forage. But promo- tion is very slow, and these are the rates of twenty years ago when the force was small, the duties far less numerous and exacting, and the life far more attractive. The men, however, are well paid, and without the vexations deductions which in the army reduce Tommy Atkins's pocket -money to a mere pittance. The non-commis- sioned eaters get from a dollar to a dollar and a half a day ; the constables fifty cents with an addition of five cents when em- ployed as clerks or artificers. Both officers and men are provided with liberal pensions graded according to length of service, and attainable after ten years. Rationsare of exeelient quality and large quantity, and can be supplemented very cheaply with little luxuries from the canteen': which is now a feature of every division pont. At most places, especially in the north, there. is a fair supply of small game in the season. The Macleod and Calgary districtsabound with find trout. •- The rank and file are not surpassed by any picked corps in (buy service. A recruit must be between twenty-two and forty-five years old, of geed character, able to read and write English or; French, active, well- built, ellbuilt,; and of sound constitution, He is also supposed to be able to ride, and a man who knows something 01 Horses is preferred,but these two requirements ' are broadly inter- preted. The physique is very fine, the av- erage of v-erage:of the whole thousandbeing five feet nine and a half inches in height and thirty- eight and a half, inches round the chest. There has always been an unusual prepor- tion of men of good family and education, Lots of the young Englishmen who come out to try their ''hand at farming in Mani- toba, or ranching in Alberba, • 'eventually' drift into the Police, as do also many well-connected young Canadians. Farm- ers' Sons from Ontario, clerks tired of city lifeand poor prospects, im- migrants' who . have not found their El Dorado, waifs and strays from every-. where and of every calling are to be found in the ranks. The roll -call would show many defaulters if no man answered to any naive but his own. There was, and still may be, at least ono Lord in the force ; several, of ` she men are entitled to more than the plain regi- mental number as a handle to their names, and many are university graduates, In these days of short service Bite charged soldiers are glad to take 'the. Queen's ehilling again, so that medals won in England's continual little veers at the otherd ofthe n world are not un ew r r usual, end not a few officers wlio have borne Her Majesty's commission now serve as simple troopers. In the adventurous in- fancy of the forco these elements were even more numerous than nowadays, and many au oa'.renconbre,has occurredbetween men who 1, ,d last met at the mess -table of some creek regiment, in a swell Londou Cittb, or an English country -house. The term of en- listment is five years, but many of the men " take on" again, especially since the es- tablishmeut of the pension system. Dis- charge may be obtained by purchase, but the small number allowed to avail them- selves of this privilege, only three a month,. and the long delay in getting a release- often useless unless available at once— constitute a serious grievance and an easily suppressible cause of desertion. Hardships and monotony, espeoitilly to those unused to work and discipline,proximity to the border, the inducements of high wages in civilim life, and dread of punishment for some offence--unpremediated perhaps and trivial enough in anyone but a soldier— frequently make deserters. But they are usually a good riddance to their comrades, whose good record is not spoiled by the in- evitable black sheep. Alter passing the doctor and taking the oath of allegiance, the reernit goes to head -quarters for training. His life there is that of a cavalry soldier ail the world over. He undergoes in tho riding- eohool that refined torture which results in a military seat, and incidentally learns Meth of the peculiarities of the Western broncho, After a trial of Mounted Infantry drill, the force has returned to the regular cavalry system, in the simpler Tnovement.s of which ib is thoroughly exercised, and field -artillery drill has also to be learned. Rifle and revolver practice, mounted and dismounted,and instruction in police duties complete the professional training. There is plenty to do in the way of parades, stables, guard mounting, orderly duty, escorts, and "fatigues:" He also learns to drive a transport waggon and buckboard— two vehicles oonstantly in use for prairie travel—so that merely as a soldier he has to master the work of all arms of the ser- vice, besides those of a police constable. The uniform is very like that of an Eng• lisp dragoon, the full dress consisting of scarlet tunic braided with yellow,dark blue breeches with a broad yellow stripe down the side, riding -boots and spurs faultlessly polished, and white helmet with glittering brass spike. In undress, with his tight -fit• ting jacket, round forage -cap perched on three hairs, and silver -mounted whip, as he swaggers down the street of some little Northwestern town, there is not a crack cavalry regiment in Her Majesty's service that can show a smarter trooper. Only the officers and sergeants wear swords ; the rank and file are armed with Winchester carbines and Enfield revolvers, the cart- ridges for which are carried in brot ?i leather bandoleers and waist -belts. The Policeman's kit is of excellent quality sp d unusually varied in description, to me many varieties of climate and duty, B. sides uniform, a liberal supply of wa'+'rn' underclothing, the usual toilet neeessaria brushes and cleaning Apparatus for hims and his horse, blankets and bedding on liberal scale, and table necessaries, the are snail items as fur cap, buckskira its moose -hide moccasins, and long wooled stookings to wear with them, a waterprao sheet, a rug, and a red worsted tuque, t1 picturesque and piratical -looking wind head-dress of the French Canadian habi ant. A long blue cavalry cloak and ca serve well enough at ordinary times, bit for ont-door duty in the bitter frost of the Northwest a coat of black Russian lamb- skin is the best substitute that has yet been found for the old-time buffalo coat, which is now as scarce and valuable as one of its original wearers. Drink clothing is provid- edfor the not less trying summer heat, and stout pea -jackets for spring and autumn. On patrol and at the outposts the cowboy's comfortable felt hat is a frequent substitute for the stiff helmet and shadeless forage cap. Experienced officers advocate a "prairie suit" of neutral color, keeping the present uniform for parade use ; and now that the red -coat has served its purpose so effectually it might well snake way for the more suit- able working dress. The Depot Division and another of the ten into which the force is divided, about two hundred strong, are stationed at head- quarters, three miles from Regina, and form a little prairie town of themselves on the banks of the 1Vascana. The English of this euphonious name, which hardly compensates for absence of water in sum- mer and intense muddiness at all seasons, is Pile -of -Bones Creek, so called from the stacks of buffalo bones once upon a time stored there to be carried away by rail and converted into fertilizers, so that Eastern cattle -in their turn might benefit by the elements of the rich prairie. grasses. The barracks, a number of wooden build- ings—many of them merely portable hoases --grouped round a prairie -ground, do not make an imposing display of architecture. On one side the officers' quarters form a row of detached. cottages ; barrack -rooms, sergeants' quarters, orderly -room, guard.. house, prison, canteen,recreation-rooms, stables, and store -houses complete the square, and the Union Jack flies -from a flagstaff over all. Outside are the hospital, more storehouses, a fine riding•school, and; a. small cluster of married men's quarters,' but wedlock is an institution not favored by the authorities. All round is the open prairie, reaching to the horizon in long'un- dulations unbroken except by Government House near by, the distant roofs of Regina, and'tho straight line of the Canadian Paci- fic Railway to the north. The aspect is peculiarly bare, even in summer when the tough clay soil, in which trees will not grow, yields its abundant harvest of wheat. The other Divisional Pasts, scattered as they are through such an extent of country, vary muoh -in situation and local color, but all have the same family likeness. Times have changed much since the Police first- cause into the ' Great Lone . Land. Towns and villages and farm -houses stand where only the tepees cf passing Indians broke the horizon line. Wagon trails sear the plains with broad brown bands, but the creaking " bull train," drawn by long teams of oxen, wincing under the resound- ing creek of long whips plied by wild- looking drivers volleying strange, oaths from under the canvas -tops of the "prairie schooners" that slowly dragged out mile after mile, is almost extinct.

The glamour of the early days is gone.

She is built of abed, painted white and pro- pelled by twin screws,connected with a double set of engines, Her average speed is nineteen knots an hour, and, according to the London Queen, this can be increased to over twenty knots in the hour. The Eohenzollern has two wheels, one ab the stern, the other near the how, the latter worked by steam, the .former by men power botix being painted white and gold, with nickel spokes. The yacht is armed with eiglil quick -firing Krupp guns, and, with her graceful outlines, sits high in the water She has three masts and two funnels, paint- ed yellow, the gilded imperial German crown on the prow, and the Hohenzollern coat of arms in black and silver, surround- ed by a laurel wreath, on the stern. The deck is covered with linoleum, and over a large part there is au awning where, in fine weather, the emperor has luncheon and tea parties, In the fore part of the vessel is a bridge reserved far the emperor. It is ap- proaobed by a mahogany stairway and has mahogany railings. The emperor 'a apartments on the middle deok amidships are on the port aide, those of the empress and her children an the starboard side. Wainscoting, doors, and staircases, as well as other fittings and furniture, are of very light-colored, almost white, maple wood ; the ceilings white, picked out with gold; the rococo chim- neys of nickel, and the walls covered with cretonne,' varying in pattern in the various apartments. The lofty and spacious dining saloon on the middle deck is 23 feet broad by 75 feet long, and by an ingenious ar- rangement of portieres can be made of any size the emperor pleases. It is unpliol. stared in grey and white, and like the whole of the vessel, lighted by electricity and warmed by steam pipes. On the cen- ter table stands the queen's cup, won by the Meteor at the recent royal yacht squadron reeatta at Cowes ; and an another table the Couuty Down cup, won by the Meteor at the royal Ulster regatta in 1802, Above this saloou is the promenade deck, with the smoking -room on one end and the emperor's bridge on the other.
