CANADIAN PARLIAMENT.
The Most Important Session Since 1867
The Manitoba School Question.


OTTAWA, Ont. Jan. 2.--What prom
ises to be the most important session of
the Canadian parliament since 1861.
when the provinces were cOnfedernted,
opened to-day, On the question OF the
schools In Manitoba, the government Is
so seriously divided as TO Jeopardtze It's
stability. In 1890. the legislature OF
Manitoba passed bill Abolishing the
separate schools for Catholic children.
The hierarchy of the province appealed
against the bill TO the imperial privy
council. the highest court In the Brit
Ish empire. The privy council decided
that the legislature OF Manitoba was
acting within It's rights in passing the
bill for the adjustment OF separate
schools. hut last winter another appeal
was taken on the ground that certain
rights held by the province at the time
Of it's entering the dominion eonfedera-
tion had been violated. This appeal re-
suited In the imperial privy council
leaving discretionary power with the
dominion parliament to aid the Manito-
ba Catholics.
It Is on this question that the fate OF
the present conservative government
hinges. Ontario members who repre-
sent Protestant constituencies and OF
whom there are %. cannot vote for the
re-establishment OF Catholic schools
and be reelected. In the last four bye
elections three opposition candidates
have been returned and as Indications
show, the government will be defeated
In the house In the coming session II
they carry out their promise to bring In
q bill that will supersede the Manitoba
legislatures act and that will re-estab-
lIsh Roman Catholic schools. The pop
uintion OF Manitoba is 100000. Of whom
only 1900 are Roman Catholics.

ABSOLUTELY FREE.
The Venezuelan Commission will
be Its Own Master.
THE INDEPENDENCE or ACTION
Necessary to Secure to the commi,aion's
Findings tho Degree OF Weight and Re
spcct Among Nations Desired by thls
Government-Ilow far the State De-
pArtn,ont will 60 Ia the Matter.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. at is
authorltatlvely stated In behalf OF the
administration that the Venezuelan
commission viii be absolute master OF
Its own procedure, fixing the time and
place OF It's meetings and determining
for itself whether 1t shall visit foreign
countries; what class OF evidence may
be taken into consideration. and how
interested governments may be repre-
SERTED before the tribunal. This indie
pendence of action is deemed necessary
to secure TO the commissions findings
that degree OF weight and respect
among other nations that can only be
attained through n knowledge that the
body Is free from any restraint or obll-
cation to the United States government
which has created it. Our government
Will occupy the status OF an exact neu-
trail In the proceedings.
The state department will lend such
assistance as may be required TO faeti-
itRtc the work OF the commission In
procuring transportation for Il, on a
United States warship, II that Is de-
sired. and in supplying any records In
its possession that may be called for.
But Il will not allow Itself to be placed
In the position OF taking sides as to the
merits OF the controversy between
Great Britain ana Venezuela. II viii
not undertake 10 present the Venezue-
Ian case. nor will II even endeaVor TO
Offset any evidence that leans towards
the British contention. Therefore. the
various suggestions that have been
made to the department by individuals
in this country as to where evidence can
be secured have been ignored, Such, mat
ter is regarded as proper for the con-
slderation OF the commission, but Is not
for the state department II Is pointed
out that in this attitude the state de-
pnrtment Is exactly consistent with Its
course In the past From the beginning
OF the negotiation with Great Britain
touching the Venezuelan boundary, the
United States government has express
ly refraIned from committing itself to a
recognition OF the justice OF VeneZue-
las claim, and has limited itself strictly
to the contention that this was proper
matter for settlement by arbitration.
Moreover the attitude which the de-
partment has assumed towards the
commission Itself Is regarded as a SUI
ficient negative to the assumption In
Europe that the United States govern
ment purposed constituting Itself the
arbitrator In this dispute. for the COM
mission will be as independent OF the
United States government as It will be
OF any other government
