CRISIS IN MANITOBA
The Threatened Storm Is Very Likely to
Break
Orangemen Taking Hand In the Struggle.
Spirit of Factions Fierce and
Bitter

MINNEAPOLIS, March PA special
to the Tribune from Winnipeg, Manitoba,
says:
Manitoba and the Canadian Northwest
has reached the crisis in its history, and
the storm which has been lowering over
the country SO long is likely to break
forth before long. 1t is war so bitter
that it may wreck the confederation of
the Dominion. The Catholics are fighting
for their parochial schools with grim de-
termination, while the Protestant major
ity, with equal resolution, declares the
parocnial schools, recently abolished by
an act Of the Manitoba Legislature, shall
never be re-esta blished. The excitement
is intense today. In the churches preach
ers confined their remarks to the impend-
ing struggle. Protestant preachers begged
Protestants to stand firm and the Catholic
clergy appealed to their congregations to
never give up the fight.
The Orangemen are taking hand in
the struggle. Major Stuart Mulvey, grand
master of the Orangemen said:
"It cost Canada SO, 600, 900 to subdue the
half breeds on the banks of the Saskatch-
evan in 1885. How many millions will it
take TO make slaves of the people OF Man
itoba by subiecting them to the Catholic
hierachy?"
Afew men who forsee the consequence
are urging moderation, but the spirit of
the factions is now so fierce and bitter
that their counsels are unheeded.

A Woman Calling Herself Teresa de
Covra Again In Trouble
Has Been the Cause Of the Killing Of One
Man and General Fight In
Mexican Town

Ell PASO, Tex, March 24.-A dis
datch from Del Norte, Mexico, says a
woman calling herself Teresa de Covra,
and claiming to perform miracles. has

simply crazy. The Mexican government
ordered her arrest and the religious
fanatics opposed the order and as re-
suit one man was killed in fight and
Teselo Vasquez, .of the "Jeff Politi CO, -
was wounded.
This is the same woman who was the
cause of bloody revolt at Temochic,
about fourteen months ago, and which
resulted in the Authorities making the
woman leave the country. She crossed
to Nogales. Ariz.. where it is claimed by
the Mexicans she performed wonderful
cures. She disappeared from Nogales
and two weeks ago made her appearace
in the villages Of Ell Palvo, where 400
armed men are protecting her.

Proof Of All Of Her Assertions.
noney for the Babe

OAKLAND, March PA new claimant
to the estate of James G.. Fair has appeared
in the person of seven-year-old Ethel
Jacobs.
According to the story OF her foster
mother, Mrs. Jacobs, the child was
brought to her in 1887 in response to an
advertisement for baby to raise, by a
man calling himself H. H. Rose, and who
said he was acting for the father.
For eighteen months $50 was sent Mrs.
Jacobs monthly by Rose Tor the child's
maintenance. Then the remittances
ceased and six months later letter was
received by Mrs. Jacobs. stating that
thereafter Senator Fair would help sup
port the child, as he was the father.
With the infants wardrobe had. come a
photograph of the alleged father, whom
Mrs. Jacobs recognized as Fair when she
met him subsequently. During the next
few years the woman said she saw the ex-
Senator periodically, sometimes receiving
money from him directly and other times
by Letter. Mr.. Fair, according to the
statement, made much of the child and
commented upon her growing resem-
blance to himself.
The woman claims to have documen-
tary proof of all her assertions.

Robbery in San Francisco and

SAN FRANCISCO. March 4.-Walter

dependent, was shot by footpad about
midnight tonight in an alley back of the
Palace Hotel. Blake is the Stockton COR
respondent of the Examiner, and had just
left the editorial rooms Of that paper on

ner, tall form barred his passage with
an order to throw up his hands. Instead
of complying, the plucky newspaper man
brought his stick down on the robber' $
head with all his strength. The footpad
howled, and then, drawing his revolver,
fired at the retreating editor. The bullet
passed through his body, coming out
near the navel. The attending physicians
think the abdomen was not penetrated
and that Blake may recover. He came
from Stockton with his wife to spend
Sunday here. Blake is well known on the
coast, having worked on papers in San
Diego. Fresno, San Francisco, and the
Puget Sound cities. The footpad escaped.
