Looks Hopeful For Compromise in
Manitoba School Trouble.
WINNIPEG, March 3O.-The federal
and provincial commissioners had a
two hours conference during the day
and made some progress in negotiations
for a compromise of the Manitoba
school difficulty. 1t was determined to
exclude stenographers and keep no rec
ord of proceedings, except the final re-
port. 1t is understood most of the
time of the conference was taken up in
good natured controversy over which
side should make the initiatory
proposals, during which all pres
eat evinced a desire to be
frank and conciliatory. Before
adjournment, made at noon, it was sug-
gested that each side should submit a
rough draft of proposals when they
met again at 8 o'clock. 1t appears this
was done, for the second conference
lasted only 10 minutes, the surmise be.
ing that the Manitoba representatives
desired to consult with their colleagues
on the proposals made by the federal
commissioners, while the. latter will
probably intimate to representatives of
the minority the nature Of the conces-
sions which Manitoba is willing to
grant.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 80. - The
North China News prints what is said
to be a secret treaty entered into be-
tween Russia and China. The treaty
allows Russia to use any of the harbors
along the coast of China, to mobilize
fleets therein, buy coal and supplies,
recruit forces in Chinese territory, buy
horses, hire coolies, etc. Russia is to
have the use of Port Arthur as a win
ter harbor, but if complications with
other powers should arise, Russia may
use any other ports on the coasts of
Kiang Shu Che kiang. In return Rus
sia is

with other powers. Russia will be per.
mitted to build branch of the Siberian
railway through Manchuria, the line to
be controlled jointly for Is years by
China and Russia. At the end of that
time China is to be allowed to purchase
Russia's share of the branch road In
order to protect this road, Russia will
be allowed TO hold one Of the islands

Russia is given permission to attack the
western frontier of Korea by way OF
the Yalu river. China will open her
markets to the sale of Russian goods.
and Russia will lend several hundred
officers to drill about 100000 Chinese

by the Japanese papers and is believed
to be authentic.
