PUT OFF THE CRISIS.
Manitoba's Legislature to BE Adjourn

Manitoba's Legislature to BE Adjourn
ed Until May.
WINNIPEG, Man., March 2s.-The sep
arate schools warfare Is to continue for
another two months at least, as Premier
Greenway has publicly announced that the
legislature will be adjourned on Friday I'M
til May o. Premier Greenway says that
the remedial order is too important mat
to be dealt with preciptously by the house,
ample time to become thoroughly ac-
qua!nted with the whole range Of the sub
ject. The government has already opened
communication with certain eminent con-
stitutional lawyers, and submitted to them
for their advice some Of the chief points
affecting the jurisdiction of the legislature
regarding schools. The opinion of these
gentlemen will doubtless have bearing
on the policy to be adopted by the govern
ment before the house reassembles in May.
that the early dissolution of the dominion
parliament may be one of the possible re-
suits of adjournment Of the legislature.
CHICAGO, March 2s-A dispatch from
Winnipeg. Man., says:
There was decided sensation at the
close of the sitting last night. when the
government announced that it would ad-
journ the legislature on Friday until May.
This means that the remedial order cannot
be discussed before adjournment. The gov
eminent says this action is taken in order
to gain time to consider the legal points in
volved.
Prendergast, leader of the French Cath
olic party, prcnounceS it scheme to force
the dominion government to take imme-
diate action. He thinks the house will re-
adjourn from time to time, without discus
sion, until the dominion government makes
some decided move.

Welcomed by IA Delegation of Colored

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March 2S-
Gov. Mckinley of Ohio is not trying ito
build up the SOUTH" stated in reports
sent out from here last night. On the con-
trary. all the efforts of his early campaign
skirmishes are to encourage the negro and
keep him in the fold and IN line with the
national party organization.
The McKtnleyites have not turned the
negro down." The colored brother is
decidedly lin it, today. Joseph E. Lee
the colored secretary of the republican
state committee, had Gen. Osborne of Bos-
ton, Chairman Esan and National Commit
teeman Long closeted in his Uees) otIice
this morning. Then Lee called on Mckin-
ley at the latter's room in the st. James
Hotel, and an hour later delegation of
twenty colored citizens were received by
Mckinley in his room. An informal ad-
dress of welcome was delivered by one of
the delegation, and the conference lasted
nearly an hour.
The attempt of the 'T.ilywhite" republi-
cans here to smut the negro out from par
t!cipating in the courtesies extended to
Mckinley was a fiat failure.
After a carriage drive about the city
Gov. Mckinley and party left for st. Au-
gustine at noon.

A LONG CONFERENCE TO-DAY
Postmaster General Bissell and Mr.. VIM
l. Wilson Talk Matters Over.
The Latter VIII Not Assume Charge
Offices Waiting to Be Filled.

Postmaster General Bissell and Mr.. Will
son, the ex-Representative who succeeds
Mr.. Bissell, had another long conference
at the department today. They went over
the routine of the department and dis
cussed generally the duties of the office
and the methods of work in the service.
The change does not take place until next
Thursday, when Mr.. Wilson will take the
oath of office, but he has manifested his
intention to become thoroughly acquainted
with his duties before assuming charge.
Mr.. Bisselrs plans Immediately following
his retirement have not been finally deter
mined, but it is probable that he will re-
main in the city until the latter part Of
April.
Forty Appointments Pending.
There are now about forty presidential
post Office appointments pending, and it is
probable that considerably more than a
score Of these will be left for Mr.. Wilson to
act on. The principal offices to be filled are
Cincinnati and Cleveland, Ohio,w there
are bitter contests.
Ex-Governor Campbell and other ponticai
leaders from the buckeye state are now
in the city presumably in connection with
these offices and the marshalship and dls-
trict attorreyship in the two cities: other
cities in the list are Seattle, washington,
the home of Senator Squire, where pro-
longed fight has been made; Providence,
r. l.. the home of Senator Aldrich, where
an appointment has been long pending. and
Ellsworth, Me-, the home of Senator Frye.
A Railway Mail Service Once.
The appointment of an assistant general
of the railway mail service
will also fall within the patronage OF MI
Wilson. The Office pays $1,000 year and
travelling expenses, and has been vacant
since the promotion of Mr.. Charles Nelson
of Maryland, now second assistant post
master general. The office almost invari-
ably has been filed by promotion from
within the service and the Postmaster Cen
eral has refrained from filing the place
until he could find some one whom he con-
siders especially fitted for the position.

HACIENDA SAN MIGUEL,
March ID, 1895
Editor Evening Star:
Dear Sir: Having just read your editor
ial suggesting en- appropriate memorial In
the national capital to the late Frederick
Douglass, inclose my mite in furtherance
of this suggestion.
Frederick Douglass was one of the most
remarkable and most creditable products
of the present century. His influence was
all for good. His memory should be per-
petuated in marble, bronze, or, better still
in library. school, hospital or other be
nevolent institution. Sincerely yours,
"ALEX. r. SHEPHERD"

COMPLAINS OF SMELLS.
New Sewerage system Affords the
Only Remedy.

Only Remedy.
Superintendent William Smith OF the Bo-
tanic Gardens has a grievance. Reared
among fragrant flowers and accustomed for
many years to inhale the spicy odors Of
tropicals plants, Mr.. Smiths aostrils OBJ
ject to contact with a mephetic atmos-
phere. Now, the old Tiber creek sewer
runs diagonally beneath the Botanic Gar
dens, and near the western gate Of the
beautiful park is a sewer trap, through
which employees of the District have been
taking out such matter as Is likely to be
found in a sewer. AS natural conse-
quence, there has been in that vicinity a
large assortment of more or less disagree
able smells. and it was with hope that
these might be diminished in number and
pungency that Mr.. Smith called upon the
quest that the nuisance be abated. 1t is
said at the engineer office, Commissioner
Powell himself being the authority, that
the method complained Of is at this time
absolutely essential The filth which ac-
cumulates Is being assailed from above by
the force Of men to whose labors and
achievements Mr.. Smith takes vigorous ex-
ception. At the lower end Of the sewer
a flushing process keeps 1t in better con-
dition than 1t used tor be in. Commissioner
Powell says that the only real and lasting
remedy will be found in the application
of the plan Of sewage disposal which has
already been approved.

OMAHA, Neb, March 2S.-An order has
been received from Judge Sanbourn au-
thorizing United States Marshal White to
go to Winnebago reservation and serve
notices of eviction on 275 settlers, who &C.
cupy leased lands on the reservation. The
leases have been issued by the F'lournoy
Land Company at various times and it is
claimed the leases We're never approved by
the Secretary of the Interior, and as con-
sequence the government refused to rec
ognize the right of the white settlers TO
move to the reservation. Around this fab
ric bewildering mass of litigation las ac-
cumulated. and the decision of Judge San
boufn Is one of considerable Importance
involving all the improvements which the
settlers have made on the lands, which
they have leased in good faith.
Many Of the settlers are said to be deter
mined to fight and it may be necessary to
have detachment of troops sent to the
reservation to enforce the order. A train
load of deputies will go there tomorrow
and II trouble results troops will follow.
