NATIONAL nBrupLrosS LEAGUE
Elaborate Arrangements Cor Attend
ing McI<inIey,s I.,h uisnr q ton.


CHICAGO. Nov. 20.-Thei executive COM
mittee OF the National Republican league
met at the Auditorium tofat. it being the
first meeting since the close OF the cam
paign. President woodmsn'ie presided over
the meeting. He creatci considerable en-
thusiasm when he repcrt ID that he had
seen President-elect Mckinley and secured
from him a promise to attend the national
convention OF the leagrs in Detroit next
July.
The session was given ~ almost entirely
TO the discussion OF the pert the league
ought to play In the inaugural proceedings
at Washington March 4. 4 was decided to
make arrangements for headquarters for the
league In Washington during the Inaugural
season and to urge club affiliated with the
league to take part In the procession. An
effort will be made to secure a prominent
place in the procession. and the members
believed that they can tase to Washington
$4,000 club marchers on that occasion.
The following are in attendance upon the
meeting: President Woodmansie, Ohio;
Secretary NJ. J. Bowling. Minnesota; Major
A. G. Negley, Alabama; Albert Campbell
L. X. Torbet. Senator l. NJ Hamilton. 1lli-
nois d. H. stine. Kentucky; F. r. Conoway.
Iowa: Luke 7. Walker. Tennessee; John H.
Burron, Wyoming; E. J Miller, Ohio; A.
VI. Higgins, Indiana: L. Marlborough, Mich
igan; c. w. Raymond, lilirois; James A.
u. N
West Virginia.
One OF the most important subjects to be
decided on by the execIuve committee is
the question OF location for the National
league headquarters. The eastern contin-
gency wants the headquarters located at
Washington. where it might work in con-
junction with the natiorsl republican com
mittee. This will be ,fgorously fought
however by members who wish the head
quarters kept at Chicago which, they claim,
is geographically and in other ways a bet
ter location than the national capital.
Another subject discussed was the pro-
posed tour of W. J. BrsEa, in the west. II
was agreed to hold meetings wherever Mr.
Bryan speaks. Books ard pamphlets win
be distributed in all the towns Of the Bryan
schedule and speakers win then be sent.
The headquarters OF tn National Repub-
lican league are to remain in Chicago.
Speeches were made in behalf Of New York.
Washington and Cincinn III. and President
Woodmansees influence vas exerted to have
the headquarters remove to the national
capital. but the efforts Tor Chicago proved
successful.
The organization, which was q potent fac
tor in bringing about MrKinley's election.
decided TO participate in the inaugural cere-
monies. The league viii. furnish an escort
for Mckinley from Canton to the capitol.
Uniformed clubs Of the league in various
states will turn out and iaake the strongest
demonstration possible. Secretary Bowling
has received word so far that eight states
will have clubs in line. They are: Mary
l1nd, New Jersey, Tennessee Ohio, Ken
lucky. New York Rhode Island and Illinois.
Other states are expected 70 follow suit

HALF HOUR FOR THE PRIESTS
Manitoba School Question Settled by
Compromise.
TERMS ACCEPTABLE TO BOTH SIDES
Religious Teaching to De Allowed
where the Parents Wish It-En-
glish Language to lie Taught
with the French.

OTTAWA, Ont, Nov 20.-The Manitoba
school question, which has more than once
threatened a disruption OF the Canadian
federation, has been settled on terms which,
it Is believed, will be sufficiently satisfactory
to both sides to put an end to the contro-
versy.
Following are the main features OF the
terms Of settlement, which have been ac
cepted by the Manitoba government and will
be embodied shortly in an act of the leg
islature OF the province, viz:
Religious teaching is to be conducted in
the public schools ID If authorized by a res
olution passed by a majority of school
trustees. or (2) if a petition be presented
to the board of school trustees asking for
religious teaching and signed by the parents
or guardians Of at least zen children at
tending the school in rural district or by
the parents or guardians Of at least twenty
five children attending such schools in a
city. town or village.
School work Of a purely secular character
will occupy the whole of the school day
except the last half hour when the represent
ative Of any religious denomination Will be
allowed to come in and instruct the children
belonging TO his denomination, provided the
parents are willing TO have them remain
In cases where the people decide not to have
this religious instruction, the regular school
work will go on until the close OF the
school hours.
The proviso that is intended TO make the
schools acceptable to the minority is that
districts having an average attendance of
twenty-five Roman Catholic school children
shall be entitled TO have teacher OF their
own denomination who must be fully quail
fed according TO provincial national school
standards. In districts where the children
speak French wholly they are to have a
teacher speaking both English and French,
so they will learn English as rapidly as
possibly. The readers used in such schools
will be bilingual, so the children will grow
