WANT HOME RULE
Manitobans Very Luch mcensed
at the Action of the
Government
In Putting in Mr.. Patterson OF
Montreal as Governor of
the Province.
Greenway Says the Provincial
Government Will Not
Pay Him.

WINTIPEG, Sept. 4.-Sir John Schultz,
who for several years has been governor
of Manitoba, has received an official dis
patch that Hon. j. G. Patterson, until
recently minister of militia in the do
minion cabinet, had been sworn i'll as
his successor and that he will proceed at
once to Winnipeg. Hhis appointment
is made by the dominion authorities i'll
the face of the most determined opposi-
ton of the people of Manitoba, who in
sist on the appointment of local man.
VIII Cut Off Perquisites.
Following the order of the Dominion
government, demanding the immediate
restoration of Catholic parochial schools,
this latest act has caused much bitter
ness of feeling. It has been limited that
there will be hostile demonstration
when Mr.. Patterson arrives, but wiser
counsels will no doubt prevail.
Premier Greenway has announced
that his government syill cut off all pro-
vincial moneys that have heretofore been
appropriated for the maintenance OF
tho government house when the new
governor enters. Hon. Mr.. Patterson
will! therefore have to worry along on
the Dominion allowance of $4,000 a
year, which goes with the office.

CONDE De VERADI1O
Is Name Of Spanish Cruiser that
Fired on the AlIianca.
Her Captain Tells Very Different Story from
that Of Capt. Crossman.

Havana, March 1S.-The commanaer
of the Spanish cruiser Conde de Veraolto
reports that, March 8, while cruising OIL,
the eastern coast of the island, he slghIeu
steamer heading for Maysi Point. Inc
steamers course was to the northeast.
The cruiser hoisted flag and the
steamer replied by raising the English
flag. The cruiser signalled the steamer
TO stop, but without effect. AS the
steamer proceeded at full speed the cruiser
first fred two blank shots and then two
solid shots.
The commander says he did not desire
to hit the steamer, but merely to cause
her to heave to. He asserts that the
steamer was but one and half miles of
the Cuban coast when the firing occurred.
The authorities here have ordered a
full inquiry made into the commander S
acts. Judging from Capt. Crossman' s
story, nobody can doubt but that the
steamer in question was the AIlianca
fred at by the Spanish cruiser on March s.
Nothing has been heard here to confirm
the rumor that the gunboat Alsedo has
sunk an American schooner. The rumor
is regarded as utterly unfounded in fact

Hallowell, March 1S.-(SpeciaD. The

partially destroyed by fire, Monday, about
noon. 1t was thought that the fire
caught around the chimney in the second
story. The roof was badly burned and
the loss will be about S400; insured.
The house was occupied by two French
families. Great credit is due the fire depart
ment for the quick and valuable service 1t
rendered, MS the wind was blowing hard
and had tho fire got good start it would
have been very difficult to stop the
flames from spreading.

THE RAM KATAHDiN
Given Several Scientific Tests by the Charles
town Navy Yard Experts.

Boston, March 1S.-A test of the
Ammen ram katahdin was made at
Charlestown navy yard, this afternoon, to
determine her centre of gravity and the
water pressure and stability at different
angles of keel. The result of the test has
not yet been determined, as it will take
some time to figure out the resistance,
etc, from the result obtained.
Among those who saw the trial were
Commander Miller and a number of the
officers of the yard, including Constructor
Philip Hichborn, Constructor Taylor and
Lieut.. Perkins, who had come on from
Washington to witness the tosi, and John
Hyde of the Bath Iron Works. There was
also present the class in naval construc-
ton of the Institute of Technology.
The arm had been loaded with Is tons
of pig iron, placed on three platforms
along her decks. Forward and aft were
two sets of shears, and from these, lines
had been passed under the bottom OF
the ram, holding them firmly in place
AS soon as the ram was loated the shores
were knocked away from her and a few
controlling lines were taken to the shore
The lines for heeling her were then run
from the tops of the shears to the side OF
the deck. Her three lines passed through
a large block and were attached to a
tackle, the end of which was taken to
one of the powerful windiasses along the
side of the dock. The windlass was then
started and as the lines frightened the ram
was laid over on ber side, the first inclina-
ton being to starboard She heeled rather
easily mt first, but as soon as she was
down a little way it took strong pull to
bring her any further.
The power necessary to bring her down
to the different angles was noted, and
when she had been laid down to about Is
degrees. the lines were cut and she was al
lowed to right herself, the officers observ-
ing the time required to regain a hori
zontal position and the distance she rolled
to port on first being released, these meas
urements being accurately determined by
instruments used for this purpose. Sew
eraI ipclinations were made at different
an giles, both to port and starboard.

Loud talking in public places, such as
restaurants and public conveyances, is
moro of European than an American
custom, but occasionally you meet Amer
leans or persons born in this country OF
foreign parents who have that European
habit strongly developed. Sometimes this
habit occasions embarrassment to those
who indulge in 1t.

1t was evident from her attire that she
had an object in concealing her age. Her
