A South Dak ota Politician Asks To he
Taken BACK Into the Ministry.
REDFIELD, March ga sensation was
created in South Dakota political circles
by an event which has occurred here. This
was the appearance before the full board
Of the Methodist church here, at his own
request. of Orville S. Basford, chairman
of the Republican state central commit
tee. Basford reviewed his past life, con-
fessed his backsliding in leaving the
church for politics, and begged to be re-
instated to fellowship that he might Sc
cure his former pastoral calling. Basford
has been a political leader here for some
years He was once a minister in good
standing, but went back into the world.
A curious thing about this action Of
Basford Is that it is a fulfillment of a pro-
phecy made by the late Jude Howe, Pop
ulist candidate for governor, who declared
some years ago that William Walter Tay-
lor would never settle with the state and
that Basford would play his last card by
going back in church and resuming
preaching.

Winnebago reservation and serve notice

claimed the leases were never approved

consequence, the government refused to

to move on the reservation.
Around this fabric bewildering mass
of litigation has accumulated, and the
decision of Judge Sanborn is one of con-
siderable Importance, involving all the
improvements which the settlers have
made on the lands which they have
leased in good faith. Many of the settlers
are said to be determined to fight TO q
finish, and it may be necessary to have a
detachment of troops sent TO the reserva-
tion to enforce the order. A train load of
deputies will go there, and if trouble re-
suits troops will follow.

BISMARCK, Mo-, March 29-Passenger
train No. 81, Iron Mountain road, from
Poplar Bluffs, was held up at Williams
vile, a station about twenty miles north
of that place. The train was in charge
of Conductor James v. Webb, and was
pulled by Engineer Maths As the train
neared a lonely spot a short distance
north of Williamsville some one pulled
the bell rope and the train came to halt.
Two men, one of whom had a red hand
kerchief over his face. and the other q
mask of black material, forced the porter
Mt the point OF revOlvers to uncouple the
engine, mail, and express cars from the
train.
Were Desperate Men.
They also compelled Engineer Maths to
run a short distance up the track with
them. The robbers then proceeded to the
express car and ordered the messenger to
open the safe. The leader of the gang, a
man about six feet i'm height. and heavily
built, placed a revolver at the messenger s
head and orde-ed him to unlock the safe.
I'VE are desperate. and will stand no
monkeying." he exclaimed. The messen-
ger informed the desperadocs that he
could not open the through safe, as he did
not have the combination. He opened the
local safe, but there was no money in it.
Meantime the alarm had been given ami
the citizens were armirg themselves.
The robbers, becoming frightened, jump
ed from the train ani ran through the
woods.

Before they left. however. they secured
Conductor Webb's gold watch. 1t is be-

PENNSYLVANIA COAL SITUATION.
Sixty Cents for Digging the Ultimatum Of
the Operators.


PIITsBURG, March 29-Thc railroad
and coal operators of the Pittsburg district
are determined not to pay more than 80
cents u bushel to miners. Several OF
them have announced their intention Of
starting up their mines at this rate next
week and are confident that they will
have little or no trouble in securing men.
Others say they will fill their contracts
with West Virginia coal. Alexander
Dempster, one of the largest operators in
this district, says he will adopt this
consse. He stated that he could buy
coal at the West Virginia tipples at 50
cents a ton. The freight to the lakes
is sLO71z, making total cost Of the coal
delivered $l57%.
A ton Of Pittsburg coal at 60 cents for
digging and " cents for freight would
cost 81. 50 at thelakes, a difference Of one-and
a-half cents in favor of the West Virginia
coal in addition to the other expenses in
cidental to operating a mine. The miners
officials declare the men will hold out for
the 69-cent rate, and assert that their
membership is stronger and more deter
mined than for many years past.

Sir Charles Hilbert Tupper's resigna-
tion and his attitude on the schools REM
edial order is the subject Of much ap-
proving comment here. The premier
said that his course was n sound and
honorable one, and was evidence also of
profound political sagacity. Briefly
stated. Sir Charles Tupper's contention
was that the Dominion government
should have gone to the country on this
important question, and should not have
called q session at all The government
has already opened communicate on with
certain eminent constitutional lawyers,
and has submitted to them for their ad-
vice some of the chief points affecting the
jurisdiction of the legislature.
Tine Orange grand lodge of Manitoba
which was in session here adopted the
following resolutions on the critical ques.
tion of the hour: "rhat we view with
the greatest alarm the present state of af-
fairs which exists between the Dominion
and Manitoba governments. And we
desire to express our approval OF the
stand taken by our representatives in the
provincial legislature in Manitoba, our
rights and privileges brooking no inter-
ference by central government in our edu-
cationai affairs; and We cali upon all
Protestants to support no candidate for
the house Of commons or the legislature
who will not openly and unqualifiedly
pledge himself to odeterminedly oppose any
and all attempts towards the breaking up
of our public school system and the i'm
posing upon us and our children of the ac-
cursed system of separate schools
Resolved further, That on account of
Manitoba's central location in the chain
of provinces which compose the Domin-
ion, and having naught to bind US TO
either save religion and Language and
that inherent desire to maintain the con-
nection between the colonies of British
America and the motherland, IL must be
apparent 70 any statesman. British or
Canadian, who will endeayor to check
Manitoba by Illegal interference either
in the management OF its schools OF
other Internal affairs that by breaking the
central link of the chain il must natural
ly divide, If not endanger. the confedera-
ton"
The Orange grand lodge also adopted a
resolution declaring that in view of the
present dangers threatening the national
school system of Manitoba 1t was advisa

tive of all shades OF religious md political
opinions, be held in Winnipeg at az

WINNIPEG, Man, March 29-Premier
Greenway has made an official statement
to the Manitoba legislature on the
separate or parochial schools question. He
commenced by stating that his govern
ment saw no reason whatever why it
should change its position in regard to the
school system of Manitoba, viz: National
schools for all and no separate schools.
The receipt of the message from Ottawa
with a copy Of the remedial order made
by the Dominion government raised con-
stitutional questions exceeding in gravity
and Importance, to his mind, any consti-
tutioEal question that has heretofore
arisen in any legislative assembly in
Canada since the day when the Canadian
provinces were confederated. These ques-
tiOns affected not only the province Of
Manitoba, but every province in the Do
minion Of Canada.
Wants Time to Think It Over.
had decided to ask that the legislature ad-
journ till May in order that ample time
may be given for full and deliberate con-
sidcration Of the whole matter. The pre-
mier's remarks were received with cheers,
and a motion to adjourn will be agreed to
today. The Roman Catholics charge that
this is an attempt to shirk the issue, but
this is denied by the government. They
say that the order from Ottawa is an un-
prcccdented one, and must be well
weighed or there Is danger Of a disrup-
tion of the confederation. The premier
was asked by the Associated Press corre-
spondent whether the Dominion govern.
ment would be likely to take this pro.
posed adjournment of the local house as q
refusal ON the part of the province to act
in the matter Of the order. He believed
hat no such construction could be put on
the adjournment, inasmuch as the pro-
vincial government was taking the order
into consideration.
The Dominion Not in . Hurry.
There was no likelihood that the Do
minion government. having n clear three
weeks session before the provincial house
meets again and sends its answer, will
nc, i'm the matter before hearing from
Manitoba You can depend upon it,
said another minister, ''that the Domin-
ion government is not going to touch this
school question any sooner than 1t has to.
The important point in the matter Is
whether the reply of the provincial house
will or will not De final, and whether the
reply of the Dominion government will
or not be final or course the Dominion
government will not act until the reply
from Manirohn ia recriyel II il too i'm
portant a question to hurry over"
