MANlIoeAN AFFAIRS.

The Attempt to Break Up the Public School
System by the Home Government at OF
tawa Strongly Resisted by the Orange
and Protestant Population of the Prov
ince-The Resolution to Adjourn the Lo-
cal Legislature.
WINNIPEG, Man, March 29.-The
surprising and sensational feature OF
the school question difficulty, was the
announcement, yesterday, that the
government had decided to ad journ
the legislature to-day until May 9. 1t
had been considered certain that con-
sideration of the remedial order would
be proceeded with yesterday or to-day.
but Premier Greenway announced in
the house yesterday afternoon that adj
journment had been decided upon. He
declared that the government did not
see any reason whatever to change
its position or its opinion in regard to
the school system of the province, de-
spite the order to do so from Ottawa.
The remedial order issued by the gov
eminent raised for the first time con-
stitutional questions exceeding in
gravity and Importance any constitu-
tional question that has heretofore
arisen in any legislature in Canada,
and affecting the whole Canadian do
minion.
In view of these facts it had been de-
cided to adjourn the house. The gov
eminent had already opened commune
cations with certain eminent constitu-
tional lawyers and submitted to them
for their advice some of the chief
points affecting the jurisdiction of the
legislature.
The premier was asked whether the
Dominion government would be likely
to take this proposed adjournment of
the local house as refusal on the
part of the province to act in the mat
ter of the order, and replied that no
such construction could be put upon
the adjournment, inasmuch as the pro-
vincial government was taking the Or
der into consideration.
Catholic members of the legislature
say the government is merely trying
to shirk their responsibility, and that
adjournment is merely subterfuge.
The orangemen of Manitoba, in
massmeeting assembled yesterday,
passed the following resolutions unan-
imously:
Resolred, That we view with the greatest
alarm the state Of affairs which exists between
the dominion and the local governments, and
we desire to express our approval OF the stand
taken by our representative in the provincial
legislature in Manitoba, in support OF
our rights and privileges, in brook
ing no interference by the central
government in our educational affairs:
and we call upon all orangemen and Protest.
ants to support no candidates for the house OF
commons or the local legislature who will not
openly and unQualifedly pledge himself to de-
terminedly oppose any and all attempts to-
ward the breaking up of our public school sys-
tenn. and the imposing upon us and our chill
dren OF the accursed system OF separate and
Sectarian schools.
1t is proposed to hold monster con.
vention of all religious and poll tical
bodies in Winnipeg shortly to discuss

Claiming Her Dover Right.

A legal sensation was sprung q,
Sedalia the other day, and further
developments are awaited with
anxiety. In the early history of Soda
liza the late ex-Mayor William T. Jack.
son owned considerable land within
what is now the corporate limits of the
city, among other tracts being the hall
block extending from Ohio to Usage
streets, and from Second street to the
alley on the north, now covered
with two and three-story brick
business houses. The property is
the city, and at conservative
estimate is worth $50, 0OO In 1866 this
tract of ground was sold by Mr.. Jack
son to various parties, and deed to
the same was given by him, but Mrs.
Jackson did not sign the document and
hence retained her dover, or one-third
interests. A few days ago w. d. Steele
was retained by Mrs. Jackson to en-
force her claim and the matter was
laid before Receiver Latimer and his
attorney, Judge w. S. Shirk, who
have in charge the interests of the
First national bank, now defunct,
which formerly occupied the Second
and Ohio street corner.
They at once recognized the justice
of Mrs. Jackson's claim and effected a
compromise with her that resulted in
her relinquishing her dover in that
particular piece of property. AS to the
amount paid the parties interested are
non-committal. An effort will be made
to compromise with the remaining
property holders in the block, but in
the event of failure suit will be insti-
tuted in the widows behalf There
are other pieces of property in Sedalia
in which Mrs. Jackson still retains
dover, but neither she nor her attor-
ney is ready to describe them at pres
ent, and it is for this reason that many
realty owners are anxious.

THE BLOOD OF HUNG CHANG

for Which Prospects Arc Frightening.
PARIS, March 29.-The European edi-
ton of the Herald prints to-day dis
patch from its correspondent in
Simonoseki, who quotes Ii Hung Chang
as saying on his sick bed:
eff my blood can aid in bringing
about peace give it cheerfully."
This sentiment has produced good
effect" says the Herald's correspond
ent. ''There certainly are better pros
poets of peace. All Japan feels the
shock of the outrage, and the con-
demnation of the police is general
among all classes. 1t is understood
that Lis assailant will be condemned
to penal servitude for life.

Japan's Importance i'm Eastern Affairs
Sufficiently Demonstrated.
WASHINGTON. March 30.-The follow
ing telegram was yesterday afternoon
received by the japanese legation from
the japanese foreign Office:
.On the opening of the negotiations
the Chinese plenipotentiary proposed
an armistice, which the japanese gov
eminent was willing to accept on GER
tain conditions. While this negotia-
ton was going on the untoward event.
happened on the person of the Chinese;
olenipotentiary. His majesty having.
in view of this unhappy occurrence,
commanded the Japanese plenipoten-
tiaries to consent to a temporary
armistice without conditions. this
was communicated to the Chinese
plenipotentiary."
Minister Kurino says that the effect.
of the emperor's order will be the inn
mediate cessation of aggressive HOSTILE
ties, and that the Japanese armies will
make no further advance as long as
the armistice lasts. Some fighting
may occur if provoked by the Chinese,
but the second step toward peace has
been practically taken, the arrival OF
Ii Hung Chang. the satisfactory char
acter of his plenipotentiary credentials
having been the first.
The minister is of the opinion that
the action of the emperor was infiu-
enced by the confidence his majesty re-
posed in the successful conclusion of
the peace negotiations through the ul-
innate acceptance by Ii Hung Chang
of the terms stipulated by Japan.
ut was Immediately after the close
of the second session of the peace plen-
ipotentiaries," said the minister, that
Ii Hung Chang was Frustrated by a
fanatic, and up to that time nothing
had been considered but China's re-
quest for an armistice pending the con-
sideration of the terms of peace. The
proposition had been met by the pre-
sentation of certain conditions from
the Japanese plenipotentiaries. The
discussion of the terms of final peace
had not been entered upon.
''The emperor's command of tempo
rary armistice is also REPUTATION of
idea that Japan is disposed to humili-
ate China or merely to acquire terri
tory. Japan has gained the end of
demonstrating Japanese Importance in
eastern affairs"
Minister Kurino promptly notified
Secretary Gresham of the armistice,
and it was made known to President.
