SCHOOL WARFARE.
Action Of the Manitoba Legislature
Is Postponed.


Is Postponed.
Winnipeg, Man, March 30.-The
separate schools warfare is to con-
tinue for another two months at least,
as Premier Greenway has publicly
announced that the legislature will
be adjourned OF Friday until the 9th
of May. Premier Greenway says the
remedial order is too important a
matter, involving as it does great
vital issues, to be dealt with pre-
cautiously by the house, and 1t is
therefore deemed wise to take ample
time to become thoroughly acquainted
with the whole range of the subject.
The government has already opened
communication with certain eminent
constitutional lawyers and submitted
to them for their advice some of the
chief points affecting the jurisdiction
Of the legislature regarding schools.
The opinions of these gentlemen will
doubtless have a bearing on the policy
to be adopted by the government be-
fore the house reassembles in May.
1t is thought by some local politicians
that the early dissolution of the Do
minion parliament may be one of the
possible results of the adjournment of
the legislature.

An Unconditional hrmfstic Declar-
ed by Japan.

ed by Japan.
Toxic, March 31.-The emperor Of
Japan has declared an unconditional
armistice. The full text of the
armistice is as follows:
"On the opening of negotiations the
Chinese plenipotentiary proposed
armistice which Japan was willing to
accept on certain conditions. While
this negotiation vas going on, the out
ward event happened on the person Of
the Chinese plenipotentiary. His
majesty, the emperor, in view of this
unhappy occurrence, commanded the
Japanese plenipotentiaries to consent
to temporary armistice without on
ditions. This was communicated to
the Chinese plenipotentiary."
Washington, March 31.-The news
that an unconditional armistice had
been declared by the emperor Of
Japan was confirmed at the japanese
legation, where it was stated that q
cablegram to this effect had been re-
ceived from the home government.
China made the offer of the armistice
and the peace plenipotentiaries Of
Japan were empowered by the en-
ptlOL w utCtDI 1t Without tOllulllOU.
This was done in view of the ''unex-
pected event" that happened, viz.
the attempted assassination of III
Hung Chang. The armistice. said
Minister Kurino, of the japanese lc-
CATION, would be effective until the
peace negotiations are concluded.
After a meeting of the peace ambas-
sad0rs had been decided on China re-
quested the declaration OF an
armistice, but this request was not
favorably acted Upon by Japan. His
government, Minister Kurinoa said,
had not been inclined to stop war
like operations except on certain con-
ditions. These conditions are not
known, but it is suggested that prob
ably the occupation of Taku might
have been one, Japan wishing some
thing as a guarantee Of the willing
ness and earnestness of the Chinese
for an amicable settlement of the
war. China evidently could not arrive
at a conclusion to agree to the stipu-
lations demanded by Japan, and the
attempt on the life of the Chinese
peace ambassador solved the problem
for the time being, and hostilities will
be suspended. There will be 10 with
drawal of the Japanese troops from
Chinese territory, however.
