Manitoba Hinting at Annexation.

WINNIPEG, Man, Feb. 9.-At the session of the board of trade President A. Shown, in his annual report, fiercely attacked the Cana dian Pacific railroad and the Dominion gov ernment on the monopoly question. He said that free railway system was the only remedy.

Honoring an American Thief.

MONTREAL, Feb. 9.-One of the surprises in society circles here was caused yesterday when John c. Emo and his wife left for Que bee. He has been staying in Moll.. cal for the past week, ostensibly on Q pleasure trip, but it is generally believed with the intention of making some arrangement that would enable him to return to New York. The reason of bis departure was the receipt of an invitation to the lieutenant governors ball. Enc has always taken leading part in Quebec so- ciety events since his exile, but it was hardly to be expected that he would have an invita- tion to the lieutenant governors ball, and so- ciety's tongue is wagging accordingly.

AFTER THE HATFlELDs.
Appealing to the Court to Compel Their
 Surrender.

LOUISVILLE, Feb. 9. = Ex-Congressman Eustace Gibson, of Huntington, ". Va, is here to secure an order from the Federal court to compe Governor Buckner to cause the surrender to the authorities of Logan county, W. Va, of nine men of the Hatfield clan now in jail at Pikeville, Ky. They are wanted to stand trial for crimes committed in West Virginia, and are held for alleged greater crimes on this side of the Big Sandy. Gibson says:
 'sI simply propose to deal with the legal questions involved. I have nothing to do with the merits of the fight between the Hat fields and McCoys, and do not propose to go into that matter. All I desire to show is that it is very dangerous thing to allow the citi- zens of one state to make raids on the citizens of another, and then prevent the bringing of the guilty parties before the proper tribunal for trial. It will certainly result in regular border warfare if the right remedy is not ap- piled. I think the courts of West Virginia are clearly entitled to them" MT. Gibson is afraid that if the McCoys take alarm at the possibility that the Hatields may be released, the Kentuckians will assassinate their cap tives Therefore he wished the newspapers to say as little of the case as possible.
