the railroad war was spent in a legal battle
in the courts, all the leading talent in the
city being engaged in fighting the case.
The arguments had not been concluded
when adjournment was reached, but there
is little doubt, from the observations of
Judge Avery during the progress of the
case, that the injunction will be
dissolved. The government has made full
preparations for this contingency, and has
a large force of special constabies and vol
unteers from different parts OF the province
prepared to rush to the scene aud lay the
tracks In addition to the local force 400
navVies, working on the Northern Pacific
railroad, are reported to be approaching the
city on a special train. Sympathy contin-
tinues to run constantly in favor of the gov

CABINET CRISIS.
A great sensation was caused here to-
night by the publication of the following:
at has been learned from undoubted au-
thority that Lieut.. Gov. Schultz, although
advised a week ago to call the legislature
for the dispatch of business next Mon
day, has so far declined to accept
the advice of his constitutional advisers,
thereby forcing a crisis on the government,
as it is understood that the members of the
cabinet contemplate immediate resigna-
ton. The government, 1t is learned. was
anxious to have the house i'll session to
assist them in securing the neces.
position on the railway question,
should the injunction be dissolved. His
honor was advised some time ago to sum
mon the House, but so far the advice has
been not followed and the proclamation is
still unsigned.
DISSOLUTION LOOKED FOR.
"If the government resigns as seems to be
the present intention, the province will be
in very bad box, as dissolu-
ton of the legislature would likely
follow, and Manitoba could count on having
railway competition blocked for year or
two. The ministers could not be seen to-
night in regard to the above statement"
The argument on the railroad injunction
case was continued TO day, and the Judge
will give his decision Monday. IL Is said
the Canadian Pacific solicitors ha ve grounds
for an application for another injunction
should the one before the courts be dis
solved.
