Get Up II Revolution That Doesn't

Special to the Globe.

optIidl " lilc
WINNIPEG, Man, April 26.-Tho
rumor published today that a con-
spiracy was being planned between
Premier Bowel at Ottawa and Lieut..
Gov. Schultz, of Manitoba to Dust ths
Greenway government for the purpose
of getting the Ottawa government out
of the dilemma in which 1t has been
placed by its course on the Manitoba
school question, caused quite a sensa-
ton here Several prominent poll
ticians who talked to reporters ex-
pressed confidence that no such high
handed course as that indicated would
be taken, and that the parties to such
a scheme, if executed, would lose mora
than they would gain by it. Others,
whose opinions were not given for
publication, regarded the dismissal Of
Greenway as the most likely thing to
happen, and pointed out that deniaIs
of the contemplated coup were made to
allay the agitation against such
step. Lieut. Gov. Schultz today in
dignantly denied the rumored purpose
of his visit to Ottawa, but denials of
the alleged conspiracy do not re-
assure the public mind. 1t is felt that
crisis is impending and that the
next few weeks will mark an i'm
portant epoch In Manitobas history.
While all admit that the dismissal of
the Greenway government would be a
most unwarranted and unpopular pro-
ceeding, it is not disputed that Gov.
Schultz has the power and nerve to
do it.

The Odd Fellows of Worthington

cession was formed at l o'clock, after
brethren from outside had arrived.
Joseph Lowe was marshal Of the day,
and the county and city officials, to-
gether with the speakers, were in line
in carriages. Two handsomely deco
rated wagons carried the singers and
the members Of the Rebekah lodge,
also a number of little girls bearing
the notices and commands of the
order. After the procession there was
an open air meeting at the court house
addressed by ]. J. Ryder, of Luverne,
who had been captured off an Omaha
train, the engaged orator having
failed to arrive. An adjournment
was then taken to the hall, where

RELYING ON UNCLE SAMUEL

LONDON, April 26.-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Times telegraphs:
Russia has requested the Chinese
government to delay for a few days
the ratification of the peace conven-
ton entered into by the Chinese and
japanese plenipotentiaries at Shin
inoseki. L believe that Japan was sur
prised by the protests made by Russia,
France and Germany against the per-
manent annexation by Japan of terri
tory on the Chinese mainland. The
dispatch of the latest Japanese eXpe-
ditiOn to Port Arthur was ordered for
the purpose of allaying the discon-
tent that exists in that portion of the
army which has not shared in the
honors of the campaign, and also to
force the Pekin government to ratify
the peace treaty"
A Pekin dispatch to the Times says
it is the cession of Southern Man
churia, as provided for in the treaty
of peace, that is chiefly opposed in
the Chinese capital. The agreement
to this end made by Ii Hung Chang
specially grieves the emperor be-
cause the province of Manchuria is
the ancestral portion of the empire.
There is less opposition regarding the
cession of the island of Formosa,
which is new province. The other
articles of the treaty are regarded as
bearable.
Several governors and some of the
generals oppose submission to the

WHY UNCLE SAN STANDS BACK
ReservinG Ammunition for the
Venezuela Affair

WASHINGTON, April 26.-In ex-
plana ton Of the refusal of the admins
tration to entertain Nicaragua appeal
for protection against Great Brit
ain, it is now learned that the United
States is reserving it's energies so as
to deal with the Venezuelan question,
when the crisis there, which cannot
much longer be averted, occurs. The
British government has been given TO
understand that the United States does
mot take issue with it as to the right
to exact an indemnity and reasonable
reparation from Nicaragua, consider
ing the gravity of the offense COM
nlitted by the Nicaraguan government
In eXpelling a British official and Brit
ish subjects from Nicaragua in def
ance of ali principles of international
law and comfy. The fact that Amer
leans were expelled at the same time
by the NicaraguanS and were after
wards voluntarily permitted to return
10 the country has not in any degree
served to palliate the offense COM
Iitted against Great Britain and
against the United States, in the opin-
ION of the state department. In con-
senting to the execution of the British
programme in Nicaragua, however the
state department was very careful to
give full notice that it would not permit
the British to annex a foot of Nicara-
guam soil, nor to interfere with the
republican form of government there.
Ut was fully intended that the notice
should be taken as the position of our
government in the matter, and it is
asserted that the fears expressed by

CHINA HESITATES.
High Officials Opposed to Ratify-

w. Foster, the American adviser of
the Chinese peace ENJOYS, and the sec
rotary of Ii Hung Chang, have arrived
there, and the treaty of peace between
China and Japan is now before the
emperor and his ministers. The Chi
nese foreign office yesterday consulted
with the different foreign legations.
Many of the cenSors have presented
memorials against the treaty. Prince
Kung, president of the foreign office
and of the council of minister's. has
obtained seven days more sick leave
Other officials hesitate to recommend
