THE CRISIS AT HAND

In the Manitoba School Warfare-!The
Province Refuses to Compromise.
CHICAGO. Sept ga dispatch from
Winnipeg, Man., says: The crisis in
the Manitoban parochial school war
fare is close at hand. Sir Mckenzie
Bowel, Dominion premier, came to
Winnipeg last week to offer COM
promise to Mr.. Greenway, the Manitoba
premier. but the Manitoba government
refused to consider any compromise
measure. The belief now is that the
Canadian parliament will be called to-
gether to pass remedial legislation
overriding the school act of Mani
toba and restoring Catholic schools.
and that then an appeal to the
country will he made. The election is
certain to be the most bitter in the
history of the country. Greenway and
his adherents say they will resist the
re-establishment of the Catholic schools
to the bitter end, even in the face OF
an order passed by the Dominion par
lament.

the text OF yesterdays proceedings of
the Irish national conventions; and,
when the body adjourned last evening
to await the reports of the committees
on resolutions and ways and means,
there did not remain a lingering
doubt in the mind of single
delegate regarding the exact pur-
pose and policy of those whose
call had summoned them to Chicago.
There was no beating about the
bush, no yelling in honeyed phrases
of the object of the gathering. It
was boldly declared by Irish-Ameri-
cans from different parts of the coun-
try-some of them men of national
reputation, that, no matter what the
sentiments of the American govern
ment. or the American people, the
time had arrived for the Irish in Amer
lea to abandon constitutional agita-
| ton, to take up the sword, and to seek
the Independence of their isle by tho
| use of weapons rather than through
legislative en&ctment.
The organization of a standing army,
| ready to do battle whenever the OPP
| portunity should present itself, was
advocated amid frantic enthusiasm
which eliminated in wild scene when

man, ex-Congressman John E. Finerty.

| public of the near future.
Hatred of England and o: every
| thing English was expressed in vehe-
| ment language in every speech. and
the cheers and yeIls of approval were
interlarded with boots, misses and
groans for the powers that be across
the Atlantic
AS to the matter of ways and means,
it was insisted that the delegates and
| these behind them had been iustru-
mental in securing the greater proper
ton of the hundreds of thousands of
dollars that have been collected and
forwarded to the Irish parliamentary
party during the past five years, and
| that ten times the total thus collected
| would be contributed by the Irish race
| in America upon the pledge that the
moneys would be used in preparing
for a fight in the open.

CENTRE ISLAND, N. Y, Sept. &c. -
Last night for the second time since
the trophy known as the Americas
cup was brought to this country in
1851, British boat has won a yacht
race from an American boat.
Spruce Nv. has captured the second
OF the Seawanhaka clubs challenge
series for small boats, defeating Ethel
wynn. the defender, by narrow mar
gin of twenty-three seconds in a
course of two miles side. The con-
test was fought out in a wind of
strength varying from nothing up to
eight miles an hour, and which shifted
to nearly all points of the compass.
The battle royal was fought during
the fifth and sixth legs of the course.
or from the beginning of the eighth to
the end of the twelfth mile. On the
fifth leg the racers were mos. of the
time squarely before the wind, with
spinnakers to port and booms 20 star
board. getting wind from the south
east, while west of them sailing craft
had strong easterly air.
1t was a strange pocket" of wind.
and when it finally broke and both
boats got the prevailing breeze and
reached the rest of the way to the fifth
mark. the advantage was with Ethel :.
wynn by four seconds, as the timing
proved.
On the final two miles home it was
windward work in the best air of tho
day, and while the American boat fol-
lowed the traditions Of the shell-backs
of Oyster Bay and vicinity in working
against the ebb tide to the finish at
Center Island buoy. Mr.. Brandt per.
sisted in short tacls, which gave him
frequent chances to get some advau-
tage of the unfavorable tide, an exhi.
bition of judgment that finally landed
him a winner by small margin. de-

from the start, for at various times

SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS

Is Alfred b. Avery's Shortage With His 81
Louis Empioyers-He Ii . Forger, Too
All the Money Taken Within Few
Days.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2S.-Wine. women
and bucket shops appear to have been
responsible for the downfall of Alfred
B. Avery, the trusted cashier of the
brokerage firm of Messmore, Gannett
& Co. in the chamber of commerce
building. The police, so far, have been
unable to get any trace of Avery, and
it is probable he succeeded in escaping
from the city, in spite of the fact that
every point of egress was closely
watched Wednesday night and Thurs
day.
Avery was with the firm for three
years and was trusted implicitly. T.
Is. Morton, member of the firm, says
that he has found additional amounts,
which increased the shortage from the
Sc, 600 at first announced to S., 900. Mr..
Morton expresses himself as feeling
that the firm had been very fortunate
in not losing $50, 600 or S10O.0 in
stead of that amount
It has been found that Avery stole
the money by drawing checks for large
amounts, which had been signed in
blank. For instance a freight bill
would come in for $40. He would charge
up the correct amount on the bank
book stub and draw the check for a
cool 81, 900 and get it cashed at the bank
and put the money in his pocket In
addition to this method he also forged
an Endorsement to check for Sc. OOo
Monday and got the money on it.
This, so far, is the only forgery dis.
covered. Another way he had of do
ing up his employers was to tear a
check. which had been signed, from
the bank book, mark the stub void,
fill out the check and get what it
called for.
The firm say that Avery's stealings
we're all committed within few days

THE GOLD RESERVE.

Another Big Withdrawal for Export -
Europe Leaves tho Gold In the Treasury
at Lower Figures than Since April 20
Last. when the Gold Syndicate E1rss
Came to the Reacuo-A KAleid0scopae
6ituAtlon.
WASHINGTON, Sept %. The treas
ury gold reserve has been reduced to
Coz, 7o5, 067. at which figures it stood
when the treasury closed its doors
yesterday. These figures were reached
by withdrawal at New York for ex-
port of 81 500. 600.
Since the present export gold move
ment began on July IS last, there
have been withdrawn from the United
States treasury $50. $50. 600 in gold. all
of which, with the exception Of less
than 81 900, 600. has been sent to Eu-
rope. The total gold exported exceeds
these figures. as some gold, especially
the gold bullion exported, was fur
nished by the banks of New York.
During the same period gold was fur
nished by the syndicate and by the
New York national banks and others
to the amount of SIS, 325, ZOO.
The figures to which the treasury
gold reserve have been reduced by in
cessant exports are lower then since
April 80 last, on which date they were
stated at S91 ,247, IA. Under the SYM
dictate agreement gold was then being
paid into the treasury, and from that
date the reserve increased up to June
20, when it attained its maximum
height this year, standing at S107, 512,-
362. From that time the gold reserve
has gradually declined until yester-
days figures were reached.
Treasury officials decline to discuss
the prospects of further gold ship
ments as the situation is very much
mixed. The present movement ap-
pears to consist chiefly of legitimate
exports with not much more than q
tinge of speculative motives apparent.
No uneasiness and no anticipations OF
any emergency arising sufficient to
make necessary another bond issue are
entertained in well-informed treasury
circles. While no official information
can be obtained on the subject. the
belief is entertained that the national
banks of New York may come further
to the relief of the treasury next week
and strengthen the gold reserve by
$40, 600, 900 or so.
The government officials are encour-
aged to believe that within a month
the number of commercial bills that
will be on the market as the result OF
Of American exports of cotton will
turn the tide of exchange and stop
gold exports for some time to come.
The situation. however, is so kaleido-
scopic that no one here whose opinion
is worth quoting will express an opin-
ion for publication.

OTTAWA, Ont. Sept. 27.-The delay
of Premier Greenway in replying to
the order of the Dominion government
of July 81 asking him to state how far
he would go in compromising the
Manitoba school case. has been ac-
copied by Sir Mackenzie Bowel as "a
refusal to act. In view of this, a spe-
cial meeting of the cabinet has been
called for to-day to take some decisive
steps here in summoning parliament
to give effect to the remedial legisla-
tion which was promised the Catholic
minority would be passed not later
than January, should Greenway re-
fuse to take action.
There are several members of the
cabinet who are now opposed to inter-
fering with the act of the Manitoba
legislature abolishing separate schools,
although they were parties to the
pledge giving the Catholics remedial
legislation. While the cabinet is di-
vided. Sir Mackenzie Bowel. supported
by Sir Charles Upper, Ouimet, Caron,
Costigan and Sir Frank Smith. says
that session must be called and
remedial legislation carried. if possi-

Reference of the question to royal
commission to investigate has been
suggested, but Sir Charles Upper and
those members of the cabinet who are
standing out for the rights of the
Catholic minority. say that such q
course would be cowardice. They will
submit to nothing short of a measure
restoring to the Catholic schools.
Every member of the cabinet who is
out of the city has been telegraphed
to by the premier to return at once to
attend to-day's cabinet meeting, which
is classed as urgent.
