TALK OF SECESSION.
The Public School Question May
Cause Crisis in ManitObu.

| Inc SchOO1 question May
Cause Crisis in Manitoba.
A special from Winnipeg, Man., says:
Exciting events are impending in Can
ada. Within month the parliament
will be summoned to pass a rem
edial order directing the Manitoba gov
eminent to restore to the Roman Catholics
their parochial schools. Then will come the
climax to the long and bitter warfare-a
climax that may disrupt the confederation
of Canadian provinces.
To all entreaties for compromise to
avoid trouble it is said Premier Greenway
turns deaf ear, and II is inevitable that
IL the dominion authorities restore Roman
Catholic schools in this country they can
only do SO by force.
In Winnipeg there is said to be growing
movement IN favor of a secession from the
ominion, which in reality means the set
ting up of a crown colony entirely indie
pendent of Ottawa but 1t is certain that
Premier Greenway and those back of him
Will bitterly resist to the utmost the res
toration Of Roman Catholic schools.

The Commissioners have amended the
building regulations with reference TO the
location of steam boilers. Heretofore be-
fore a permit to erect a boiler could be
granted the written consent of all property
owners within fifty feet of the proposed

Mr.. Romero, the Mexican Min
lister at Washington, gives his
views in the North American Re
view Of the experience Of Mexico
under the silver standard. The
silver standard in Mexico is fam
iliar enough, however, to Ameri-
cans who travel and have bust.
ness ventures in that country and
who find the silver dollar Of the
United States readily exchanged
for two of the Mexican kind. In
Mr.. Romero's view, such an ex.
change means that the Mexican
dollar is sold for the price Of the
bullion it contains, while the
United States silver dollar is the
representative Of a gold dollar,
and is therefore merchandise
bought to pay debts in the United
States and Europe" This is the
clear view Of a Mexican who may
not intend a warning by il but
nevertheless provides one to the
effect that coinage in this country
would be attended by the same
results.
