WASHINGTON, March 2s.-The Japanese
legation has received the following re-
script issued by the emperor of Japan on
the occasion of the shooting of Ii Hung
Chang. In contains several statements
not given in the copy first cabled to this
country: although China is actually at
war with us, she sent all envoy observing
the due forms and ceremonies of nations
to negotiate peace and we also appointed
our plenipotentiaries to meet and confer
with them at Shimonski. 1t being proper
that we should in accordance with the es-
tablished international usage and with
due regard to the honor of state, extend
to the Chinese ENJOYS suitable treatment
and protection, we especially directed the
competent authorities to neglect nothing
to that end. We deeply regret that a
miscreant has unfortunately appeared
who has inflicted injury upon the envoy.
The offender will, of course. be punished
by the competent authorities according to
law without the least extenuation. We
command the officials and the people to
endeavor, by more strongly bearing our
will in mind, to strictly guard against the
recurrence of such oUtrageS, SO as not to
impair the honor and glory of the nation"

THE DOMINION DECREE
The Manitoba Legislature Will Taks
Ii Under AdYiSemal.
WILL ADJOURN UNTIL MAY
This Action Causes a Decided SEN
sation-Premier Greenway Re-
CARDS the situation as One
of Great Gravity.

WINNIPEG, Man., March 23.-There was
a decided sensation at the close of the
sitting last night when the government
announced that IT would adjourn the leg
islature on Friday until May. This
means that the remedial order cannot be
discussed before adjournment. The gov
ernment says this action is taken to gain
time to consider the legal points involved.
Prendergast, leader of the French Catho-
lie party, pronounced ii a scheme to force
the dominion government to take imme-
diate action.
The separate schools warfare is to con-
tinue two months at least, as Premier
Greenway has publicly announced that
the legislature will adjourn Friday till
May .. Premier Greenway says the re-
medal order is too important a matter to
be dealt with precipitously by the house.
and therefore he deemed it wise to take
ample time to become thoroughly ac-
quainted with the whole range of the sub
ject. The government has already sub
mitted to eminent constitutional lawyers
some of the chief points affecting the ju-
risdiction of the legislature regarding
schools. 1t is thought by some local poll
ticiaps that the early dissolution of the
dominion party may be one of the posi-
BILE results of the adjournment of the leg
islature.
Premier Greenway made an official
statement to the Manitoba legislature
late this afternoon on the separate par
ochial school question. He commenced
by stating that his government saw no
reason whatever why il should change its
position in regard TO the school system of
Manitoba. The receipt of the message
from Ottawa with n copy of the remedial
order made by the dominion government
raised constitutional questions exceeding
in gravity and importance, to his mind,
any legislative question that has heretofore
arisen in any legislative assembly in Can
| ada since the day when the Canadian
provinces were confederated. In view of
these facts the government had decided
| to ask that the legislature adjourn until
| May in order that ample time may be
given for full and deliberate consideration
of the whole matter. The Catholics charge
that this is an attempt to shirk the issue,
but tits denied by the government. They
tsaxtfiS order from Ottawa is an unpre-
cesAnkgd one and must be well weighed,
or there is danger of n disruption of the
confederation.

OMAHA. Neb., March 28.-A special to
the Bee from Lincoln says: The senate
was the scene OF great confusion this
afternoon by a personal encounter be-
tween Senator Stewart and Sergeant-at-
Arms Stewart, who precipitated a free
fight between a number of senators and
bystanders. Senator Stewart was called
to order while speaking on the tax bill
and upon his ignoring the chair, the SER
geant-at-arms was called. He refused to
sit down and the two men scufh ed for a
moment. Then the sergeant-at-arms
grasped the senator's long chin
whiskers with his right hand.
In the meantime the senators and
spectators had gathered in a circle around
the struggling men. Senator Jeffries, a
populist, excitedly elbowed his way
through the crowd to the center and
undertook to assault the sergeant-at-
arms. Senators McKeeby and Hitchcock
at once forced him back to his seat. Dale.
another populist senator, sprang into the
melee and grasped the sergeant-at-arms.
Senator Sloan threw himself upon Dale,
and with the assistance of Senator Hitch
cock, forced him to his chair. Nobody
was seriously hurt.
