Excitement in official circles

OTTAWA, ONT, March 28-The news
from Winnipeg that Premier Greenway
has declared that "the governor generals
order will be rejected in its entirety" (mean-
ing the order to grant remedial legislation
to the Catholics in the matter of separate
schools,) while not unexpected, has created
great excitement in official circles.
The British North American act is in
many ways an elastic affair, and it will be
difficult matter for the Dominion govern
ment to decide that it has or has not the
right TO interfers in the educational leg
islation of the province. If 1t should decide
to interfere it is probable that such inter-
ference would make the political divisions
division, or wou d lead to a series of appeals
to the courts, the end of which can scarcely
be foreseen.

win Canture Formosa.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 2.-Secretary
Gresham has received official announcement
of the declaration of an unconditional armis
tice by the emperor of Japan.
1t is noted here with interest that the terms
of the armistice do not apply to the lower
coast of China, and particularly to Formosa
and the other islands. This is taken to mean
that the japanese have determined to occupy
Formosa before the peace negotiations are
completed, and the explain ton of this pur-
pose is found in the fact that it is almost an
invariable rule of intern ational law that a
nation must be in actual armed possession of
a piece of territory as basis for a demand
for lis DOSsession.

CHICAGO, ILL, March 28.-The newest dis
closures of the extraordinary management
of the whisky trust under the Greenhut
regime were quite as startling as anything
that has heretofore been developed by the
examination of the books and papers.
The inspectors appointed by the reorgan-
ization committee have, it is said, discov-

presumably for the benefit of the trust, but
that not one dollar of it appears among the

money was paid as rebates on shipments
and the men who received it, it is alleged,
were among the highest officers of the trust.

Administration Not Opposed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 2.-It is inapos-
sible to secure confirmation here of the re-
port from London that the United States
has consented to enter the proposed interna-
information obtainable is to the effect that
if the call is issued similar action will be
taken to that of the last session, and the
appointment of the three delegates neees-
sary on behalf of this country.
Many of Mr.. Clevelands best friends ex-
press the opinion that he will not forego any
opportunity that promises substantial pro-
gress to promote an international agree
ment on this question, but add that he will
in all probability, prefer to see the terms of
the proposition before acting.

A HEAVY BUSINESS Dav.

1t has been many a day since such a cattle
market was had at the Kansas City, Kan,
stock yards on March &c. Nothing has been
seen like it since the boom" days in cattle
since 1884. No less than $40 cattle were sold
at So per 100 pounds and upwards. One
choice lot of export beeves, averaging 1854
pounds, sold up to $3.50. The bulk of the
native butcher and export steers sold above
$5.25.
In the early spring of 1884 some choice
export cattle sold at $3.50 TO $3.50, and as
late as August the same year one lot of
choice heavy steers sold as high as $685., but
not since then, eleven years ago, has there
been had such market for every day cattle.

France Calls the British Bluff:

PARIS, April 2.-Only the Journal Dec
Debats, of all the newspapers of the city,
comments upon the utterances of Sir Edward
Grey, parliamentary secretary of foreign
affairs, in the British house of commons. 1t
says: ''In regard to the Upper Me, France
can only recognize the rights of Turkey and
Egypt and no other. The proclamation of
England's claims there does not constitute
a title.''
On Thursday next M. Hanotaux, minister
of foreign affairs, will reply to an interpret

Emplove and EmpIoyer.

ST. LOUIS, March 3O.-Judge Caldwell
filed dissenting opinion in the case OF
Mary Finlayson against the Utica Milling
and Mining company.
The point involved is the responsibility OF
employers for the safety of employees. The
plaintiffs husband had been killed by a
falling rock that the foreman of defendant
company told him was not dangerous Judge
Caldwell says:
'The doctrine that a mining company can
send its employees in the bowels of the earth to
conduct its operations without making any
provision for the supervision and construc-
ton of the mine and security of the miners,
is unsupported by authority, is opposed to
sound pubic policy and is cruel and in

Hiawatha district, rendered an important
decision which affects nearly all of the larger
Kansas towns.
During the boom the town of Horton. like
other towns, took in much adjoining prop

passage of special legislative acts, vacating
such additions.
w. F. Guthrie, in foreclosing a mortgage
on some property in Horton Heights, one
the addition out of the city of Horton was
unconstitutional, as legislative bodies can
not pass special acts where general legsa-
