Manitoba Will Have Her Rights

WIYHIrEG, MAN, November 5o.-The
Manitoba and Northwest Farmers Union
organ zed at Brandon yesterday. 1t was
large and influential representative gath

certed action was taken 20 secure the re-
dress of grievances under which the set.
tiers suffer. The following extract from
one Of the speeches contains the substance
OF the discussion and reflects the feeling OF
the meeting:
1--WE have met together 10 make solemn,
united and vigorous protest against the
high handed policy OF the Dominion
Government toward this province. When
Manitoba entered the confederation II was

no, Every province except Manitoba has
control Of It's lands, timber and minerals,
which are solely for the benefit OF those
provinces. This right is denied Manitoba
alone. All she receives is u paitry subsi'

CHARLESTON, November S0.-The Ohio
Central Railroad Company completed their
road some months ago as far as the lower
side of Elk river, and built bridge across
that stream. They bought property in this
city for a depot and had everything in
readiness to bring their road right on into
the city, but were delayed by two injunc-
lions that were sued out by persons own

through which they proposed to run. Yes
terday morning the company gave bond
and had the injunction modified by
Judge Jackson, OF the Federal Court,
now in session here, and Colonel Sharpe,
the new receiver, put large force OF hands
to work after dark last night, and by day
light had the track laid to the company S
property in the heart OF the city. Such a
scene has never been seen here. Crowds
were hurryiug to the scene. Land owners
were hunting their lawyers, and lawyers
with their petitions for injunctions ready
were hunting Judge Jackson, who could
not be found until it was too late. The
road Is laid now and an injunction will rot

THE DEFENSE RESTS
In the Trial Of Little Bill Kinney
for Murder.
MARY DOYLE ON THE WITNESS STAND.
An Attempt to Prove That Little Bills
Confession" Was Made through
Fear-.he Close Draw
ing Near.
Speciql 10 he Reqister.

WEST UNION, November 29-The prose-
cution OF Little Bill Kinney was resumed
to-day. The important witness produced
by the State was Mary Doyle. Her intro
duction into the court room SOON caused
quite commotion. Sae is bright little
girl ten years old, and the only surviving
child of the murdered man. She still bears
the marks of the murderel's hand, two
scars on tae brow sEd one On the back OF
her head. No one can look upon those
in the fair soft skin Of her brow without
sbuddering with horror at the thought of
what they suggest.
Her evidence, although clear,
Did Not Amount 20 Much.
This is the substance of it: Little Bill
was at their hou.e while they were eating
supper on the evening of the murder. He
went away saying he would return ard
examine the goods Doyle having received
new gooo' s that day. She does not know
whether he came back or not. Saw no one
else there that evening. Does not Know
who struck her. She ideutihed the box
and poker,
This closed the case for the prosecution.
The defense then brought witnesses to
prove that the confessions" made by
Little Bill were superinduced by fear and
promises that it would be better for him
10 confess. They also produced witnesses
who proved the good character of the boy
in the eneighborhood where he lived.
Then the Defense Rested.
Mr.. J. V. Blair opened the case before the
Jury for the State aud has not yet conclud.
ed his argument. In the prosecution OF
this case are associated men eminent in the
profession, who have long been at the bar
and who are skilled in the niceties OF Grim
insl law. Their prosecution of the case has
been vigorous, but they have been met at
every step by such determined and tirm re-
sistance that little advantage has been
gained except that given by strong eyl-
dence. The selection of Col. Blair and Mr..
Freer for the defense of the BOY was q par
ticularly happy and fortunate one. As all
the parties to speak tomorrow have wide
regulations as orators, there will no doubt
te a rare treat in this lice.

A ROYAL WOMAN,

Thousands of Shares Included in One For.

Spectator Of the House

PITTSBURGH, November 30.-That the
mania for stock speculation affects those OF
high and low degree, goes without saying,
but it is something OF novelty to learn
that close relative of Queen Victoria dab
bles in stocks and extends her purchases
to Pittsburg securities. The person in
question is Marie ClsmerLina, OF Sake
Cobur Gotha, a Duchy whose Duke was
brother OF Prince Albert, husband Of Queen
Victoria, OF England. Some years ago this
lady, who is widow and very wealthy and
resides in Vienna began operating in
American stocks and bonds through Lon.
don firm Of bankers, and a couple Of Eng
lish capitalists who are members OF two IA
nous families, the Dadle-s and the Ruth
vens. Her operations included secur ties
OF various kinds, but were chiefly stocks
and bonds OF railroads.
Ine Duchess Was No Ordinary DabbIer,
and did not purchase hundred share lots
at q time, but she dealt in thousands OF
shares. Whether she has been successful
or not in the long run is not known, but
gentleman who is we'll informed in regard
to some of her transactions says she has
made money in every venture she mas un-
dertaken OF which he has knowledge. Sle
has advisers who are well posted concern
ing American stocks, and their buying is
in every case most opportune. AS an IN
stance OF this several thousands OF shares
Of stock of a Pittsburgh railroad were
bought by the Princess two or three years
ago and sold few months ago at profit
of five or six dollars share, besides hand
some dividends. The transfer papers Of
this stock were seen by a reporter.
