party are as "plain and explicit as
Senator Hill says they are, it seems as
though the members of the party should

about what was meant by their Chicago

opinion among Democrats regarding the
proper Interpretation of that document
is really distressing

river where the bird fell he stopped to
pick it up when something warm and
of 4 nlucilaginous consistency fell up
on his head. This he soon found was
honey. and upon examination discovered
that the bullet from his gun had penc-
trated bee tree after passing through
the partridge. III returned to the house
and secured three large tubs anc two
milk cans and some pals all OF which
he filled with honey.
While securing the honey he noticed
peculiar movement Of the tree. which
seemed 10 expand aud Subsidc at inter

Premier Creenway's Reply to
the Dominion Govern
ment Endorsed.
SEPARATE SCHOOLS DON'T CO.
Only Ten Dissenting Votes on
the Motion to Sustain
the Premier.

WINNIPEG, June 81. "A vote on the
school debate was reached ct l0:3O p.
m. All the amendments we're voted
down and Manitoba's answer refusing
to re-establish separate schools was
adopted.
AS the debate progressed there was
more evidence Of fight on both sides,
and reports from Ottawa that the
Freach members there were trying to
force the Dominion government to re-
establish separate schools did not tend
to allay the strained relations exist
ing between the two factions. Mr..
Prendergast's amendment that the
house should reject Mr.. Greenway' s
entire reply of refusa. was debated
during the afternoon. 1t was in effect
proposal that all the
Privileges Held by Catholics
under the old laws should be re .estah,
lished. Mr.. Meyers was the first
speaker. He claimed that the house
had always been conciliatory and open
to reason; still they offered no com
promise; they said what they had done
was just and right and they did not in.
tend to receive from it.
Forsythe, Independent, followed My.
ers. He advocated national school
system as best for Manitoba, a province
Of mixed population. Mr.. Cameron
said that even if the Dominion parlia.
ment passed remedial legislation the
Manitoba government will have power
to amend and reject such act. The
final vote on Greenway's resolution,
respectfully refusing to act on Ottawa's
request that separate schools be re-
established, resulted % for to II
against.

died away.
Reports from Chicago and st. Louis
have it that the railroads have become
ivelier buyers of rails and actually an
advance has been secured in some
cases. AS much as $l2 in the valley
has been paid for large blocks OF
Bessemer pig for delivery during

MAPLEToN, Mimi, June 21.-At the
small town of Vernon Center, west Of

plan of doing away with the use of
saloon license money for building side
walks. They expect to build sidewalk

world that walks may be had without
saloons. Wednesday they had a grand
field day, horse. bicycle and foot rae
ing, base ball and foot ball, and other
interesting sports making up the pro-
gramme. The proceeds will be put into
the sidewalk fund. More entertain.
ments are to follow in the near future.
