WINNIPEG. MAN, March 25.-Tho
remedial order Of tho governor gener.
al in council, calling upon tho govern
ment Of Manitoba 10 restore 10 tho
Roman Catholics their parochial or
separate schools. reached tho city this
morning. The tonor and language Of
the order leaves no opening for com.
promise. It is command to Manitoba
to submit and plainly say that If the
legislature docs not obey tho governor
general tho Dominion government will
enforce its authority. No definite &C.
ton was taken tonight
After tho order had been read It was
laid on ths table for future considera-
tion. That the order will be rejected
may be taken for certain. OF the forty
members OF the Legislature, only four
or five will vote against the rejection,
these four or five being Catholics aud
representing purely Catholic copstitu-
encies.
A sensational feature OF the trouble
to-day was the anu ouncemcnt that the
Dominion cabinet. which has just
passed the remedial order, had ap-
pointed one Of its own members, Hon.
]. G. Patterson, minister OF militia.
This change is believed by the Manitoba
government 10 be that tho Dominion
authorities want a man as governor
moro pliable to thelr wishes and who
will unhestatingly carry out their
mandate.
Manitoba has always contended that
its governor shall be q Manitoba citi-
zen. and this unlocked for action has
only added fuel to the flames. Hugh
MacDonald, son OF the late Canadian
premier, Sir John Mcdonald, publishes
an appeal for moderation, pointing out
the dangers OF the situation. He pleads
that conflict bo avoided and peace re-
stored by some form OF compromise. It
Is the first appeal OF the dead premier's
son to be unheeded. The temper of the
people OF Manitoba is now such that
only courageous man suggests COM
promise.
The remedial order forwarded by the
Dominion government to the Manitoba
legislature, which was received here to-
day, requests that the Manitoba gov
ernment re.enact the school law OF 1890
abolishing the Roman Catholic schools,
aud that they give:
!. The right to build, maintain, equip,
manage, conduct and support Roman
Catholic schools in the manner pro-
vided for by the statutes which were
rnnaalad hv tho acts of 1SQ0
2. Tho right TO share proportionately
in any grant made out Of the public
funds for the purpose OF education.
5. The right OF exemption OF such
Roman Catholic schools from all pay
mont or contribution to the support OF
any other schools.
The debate on the order will proba-
bly, not begin in the legislature until
Wednesday. There is no question but
that it will bo rejected and returned to
Ottawa

As nearly as could be judged from

the victim had been assailed by two
men. He had been thrown down and
beaten within few feet Of the sido door
and after being killed or reduced to in
