TROUBLE IN THE DOMINION
Premier Greenway's Policy De-
clared to Be Purely
Suicidal.
So Dark Grow the Shadows That
There Is a Prospect of
Open Rebellion.

OTTAWA, QUEBEC, Dec. 8.-There is an
ominous silence in Government circles,
and those in a position to know state that
although the dark rumors of a week ago
from Manitoba were of a very grave ma
ture, additional news has been received
during the last two days which puts an
even darker character to events, and a
shadow that cannot fail to foreshadow a
difficult page in the history of the Do
minion.
Ever since Premier Greenway announced
his intention OF making bitter fight
against all offers of arbitration or attempts
at coercion the entire province has been
in state of foment, and it would only re-
quire the slightest spark to fire the train
with surely unwelcome results. The agents
of the Government have been very ac-
lively at work in the whole of the region
and in their report virtually state that
the Premier's policy as he has dictated
and announced his intention of carrying it
out would be purely suicidal, and that the
secession of Manitoba, as predicted before,
would follow Immediately his action was
taken.
1t is reported that in Winnipeg, where
the Manitobs school question is practically
fought, the feeling has waxed so high
that it need not be a matter of surprise if
bloodshed were to follow. The Dominion
authorities have taken every precaution
looking toward such an end and have
hurried mounted police to the spot, while
the regulars and military have been or
dered to hold themselves in readiness in
case of an outbreak.
The need at present is strong and ar
bitrative hand to take the matter firmly
and settle the whole question amicably.
This would be readily done If a little dispo-
sition for meeting halfway were shown by
both parties, and in diplomatic and Gov
ernment circles it is thought that extre me
pressure will be brought on Premier
Greenway to in some manner adopt more
conciliatory code against the people of the
region or dire results will ensue
Another matter for worriment is the fact
that Canada now recognizes the fact that
she is wrong and wholly to blame for the
present boundary dispute in Alaska, and
has known the fact right along. 1t is
stated on good authority that this has been
the cause of considerable brain-racking
among the Cabinet as to what claims can
be put forward when the question is
brought up for settlement, which is liable
to be soon.

ENGAGEMENT OF HARRISON.
1t Is Stated tho Er- President WfIL Marry
Mrs. D{mnlick.

Mrs. DtDlnltck.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. S.-A dispatch
from Washington was published here this
morning stating that Mrs. Dimmick, q
niece of the late Mrs. Benjamin. Harrison,
would shortly marry the ex-President.
Regarding the report the Tribune to-mor-
row will say:
Mrs. Dimmick lives at $50 West Thirty
eighth street in this city. When Tribune
reporter called to see her yesterday she
courteously begged to be excused, ana, in
reply to query as to the truth of the re-
port, sent back word that she was much
distressed to think that such report had
been circulated and that she must be ex-
cused from saying anything. A member
of the family supplemented Mrs. Dim
mick's reply by saying that General Har.
rison was the proper person to be seen
upon this matter"
NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. s.-A Sun spe-
cial from Indianapolis, Ind. says: Ex-
President Harrison refuses to confirm or
deny the report that he and Mrs. Dimmick
are to be married. Several months ago.
when the same rumor was current, he gave
it an unqualified denial. None of his per-
sonal friends here has been admitted to
his confidence if it is true that he and Mrs.
Dimmick are to be married.

Satisfactory Progress Made
Toward Holding an
Investigation.
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE CLUBS
Hon. E. J. Phelps, Ex.Minister to Eng.
land, and Captain Mahan Added
to the Committee.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. 8.-George L.
Rives to-day issued statement giving the
correspondence between the New York
Yacht Club and the Earl of Dunraven and
the Royal Yacht Squadron in regard to in
vestigation of the charges made by Lord
Dunraven as to the alleged surreptitious
loading of the Defender so as to increase
her load water line. Mr.. Rives is one of
committee of three appointed by the New
York Yacht Club to investigate the truth
or falsity of Lord Dun ravens allegations.
The statement comm ences with copy
of H. Maitland Kersey's letter of October
18 to the New York Yacht Club, in which
that gentleman stated that he had re-
ceived a cablegram from the Earl of Dun
raven offering to come to New York and
place himself at the disposal of the inves-
tigating committee. Then follows a copy
of letter from the committee to Mr..
Kersey requesting him to communicate to
Lord Dunraven that the investigation
would be commenced Immediately upon
his arrival and requesting to be informed
of the probable date Of his departure for
America.
The copy of letter sent Richard Grant,
secretary OF the Royal Yacht Squadron at
Cowes. follows, in which the committee,
after setting forth the resolution of the
New York Yacht Club appointing the
committee and providing for the investi-
cation, says:
at appears that Lord Dunraven's state
ment, published in the Field, is mainly
extracted from letter which he sent to
the secretary of the Royal Yacht Squad
son on September "a last. We therefore
beg to inquire whether the charges last
mentioned have been laid before the Royal
Yacht Squadron, and whether any and
what action has been taken by the yacht
squadron upon the subject. In view of
the grave imputation OF the representative
of the Royal Yacht Squadron in an inter-
national race between the two great yacht
clubs. the New York Yacht Club feels that
the most searching and complete investi-
CATION of the facts and Of the charges
against the representatives Of the New
York Yacht Club should be promptly
begun. It is our purpose to conduct such
investigation so as to satisfy every fair
minded man on either side of the Atlantic,
and to that end we have already communi-
Gated with the Earl of Dunraven and re-
ouested his presence in accordance with
the offer made by him. The result of the
investigation, with all testimony taken,
will be transmitted to you"
In answer to this the committee, accord
