CANADIAN PARLIAMENT OPENS
Munitobn School Question Said to BE
Nenring Settlement.

OTTAWA. Ont, Aug. 19.-There was a
large crowd at the opening Of Parliament
today, when not only was the crowd OF
spectators larger than in any past year, but
the attendance of members and senators vas
also greater. There was no excitement, and
everything passed off quietly. Premier
Laurier, in a short speech. proposed Hon
J. D. Egard as speaker, and while Sir
Charles Tupper regretted that a Frenchman
had not been selected, he made other
objection. Mr.. Edgar replied first in Eng
lish and afterwards in French, amidst tho
cheers OF the French Canadian members
thaking the house for the honor conferred
on him.
The speech from the throne tomorrow will
contain nothing of Importance in the way of
legislation. Reference will be made to the
calling of the session at this inconVeniert
season of the year. the reason being the
necessity to provide for the public service.
Neither the public accounts nor any of the
department reports for the past year can be
presented TO Parliament. and reference viii
also be made to this. The only measure
which will be submitted will be the supply
bill A paragraph will be placed in the
speech stating that an inquiry will be made
during the recess into the tariff, with a
view of introducing a measure, which, while
not doing injustice to existing interests will
materially tighten the burden of The pepI le.
The only other paragraph will STATE that
immediate steps will be taken 10 effect a
settlement of the Manitoba school quGs-
tion so that when Parliament next meets
this important controversy will be finally
disposed of
1t has been ascertained on good aut ority
that the Manitoba school question IS a.
good as settled, and there will not be any
necessity for remedial legislation. This de-
cison has been arrived at after IumcIous
interviews between members 0f the Iro,
vincial government of Manitoba and the
Dominion government. Sifton, Cameron end
Watson of Maitoba have been here for the
past few days and they leave for home per-
fectly satisfied that the basis of settlement
will meet the views of all parties. eau
Gus OF conservatives today adjourned, with,
out doing any business owing to the small
attendance. There will be no opposition to
the election of a liberal speaker

DISTRIBUTING SEEDS BROADCAST.
Many Noxious Weeds and Beautiful
Flowers Spread 10y the Wind.

Flowers Spread 10y the Wind.
The usual way for seeds to be carried
Is by the wind. Sometimes they are so
small and light us to be easily waited by
the breezes. This is the case with the
seed OF the moccasin flowers and meadow
pinks and the other beautiful plants of
our woods and bogs called orchids And
the tiny odies, like atoms of dust termed
spores that answer to seed i'll ferns and
MOSES and toadstools, are borne away by
the iightest breath of air. But most seeds
are themselves too heavy for this. So
they are oftimcs provided with thin, broad
wings that carry them before the wind
rs Il sail carries IL boat. The pairs of
keys that hang in clusters from the
maple trees in spring are such winged
fruits. When ripe they float slowly to
the ground, or if high wind is blowing
they are carried fan ther from the tree
The ash has thick punches of winged
fruits much like these, but single. The
elm has thin, papery border all around
its small seeds, which makes them quite
conspicuous as they hang on the branch

Numbers of plants have about'.thc-- seeds

AWFUL WALLS OF DESPAIR
Passengers on the Neustria Terrified
by a Roaring Settling WaterspOut.

New York. Aug. 17.-As the steamer
Neustria from Naples with 400 Ital-
ian immigrants on board, was nearing
this port on Friday evening, a gigantic
waterspout swept by the ship while
deafening thunder claps smote the ears
of the terrified immigrants and flashes
of lightning made the sky appear like
a liquid sheet of flame.
A terrific thunder storm ragged for
an hour, and then at Z o'clock there
arose on the oceans surface, two
miles west of the steamer, a big cone
of water with a yeasty mass of foam
at its base.
The cone had formed directly beneath
a black, overhanging cloud that seem
ed to reach down toward it like a huge
finger.
Not a drop of rain had fallen and
not a breath rippled the oceans sur
face. The passengers were stricken
dumb with terror as they watched the
great cone reach upward and join the
overhanging finger of black mist.
forming a column of swirling, seething
water fully 80 yards in diameter at
the base and four feet thick in the
center of the column. At the top it
spread out like an immense umbrella.
Thus it came careening towards the
Neustria, and the fear stricken pas
sengers at last found voice in one great
wall of despair. Many fell on their
knees and prayed. Others tainted.
Still the water spout rushed toward
them with a noise like that of mil
lion buzzsaws. But as it neared the
ship it's course was changed slightly
and the water spout, seething and buzz
zing as it went, swept by not more
than 200 yards off the starbOard side.
The passengers screamed as the i'm
mense column passed, and then laugh
ed and cried and Rugged one another
in joy when they realized the danger
was passed.

BARNEY SHERIDAN REBELS
Will Support Bryan but Bolts the
State Ticket


State Ticket
B. J. Sheridan of Paola, one of the
stalwart Democrats of Kansas. who
fought the free silver idea. before the
Chicago platform was made, but after
ward acknowledged the authority of
the majority and came out for Bryan
and Sewan, has bolted the action of
the state convention in endorsing the
Populist state ticket. He makes this
announcement in the last issue of his
paper, the Paola Spirit, giving his rea-
sons, as follows:
However much we regret to oppose
action of men clothed with authority
to represent the Democratic party, we
cannot, without abandoning a lifelong
faith in the cardinal principles of the
Democratic party, support or vote for
the Populist state ticket which the min
GRITTY of the Democratic state conven-
ton endorsed at Hutchinson last week.
4. Not a man on that ticket is
Democrat and not one of them even
claims or pretends to be a Democrat.
80. By a vote of 1,042 out of 1,4O0 the
Populist national convention endorsed
William J. Bryan, the Democratic
nominee for president, and they did it
because Mr.. Bryan was then and is
now the matchless champion of the
paramount issue IN TINS campalgn-Ine
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to l with gold. That
they acted wisely and honestly in this
we sincerely believe. Therefore, the
honest masses of the Populist party in
Kansas wanted no bonus for doing
their duty-voting for Bryan.
''3. The delegation that represented
Kansas in the Chicago convention had
no authority to enter into a deal with
the PopuIists, pledging the Democratic
party to support the Populist ticket.
"a. If the underlying principles of
the free silver belief is strong enough
to elect Mr.. Bryan, and we candidly
believe it is, ninety-nine of every 100
of the Democratic and PopuIist voters
of Kansas and elsewhere, did not de-
mand the base and sordid sacrifice
made in the name of Democracy by
the sixty or seventy office seekers who
dominated the Hutchinson convention.
Bryan will be elected with or without
Kansas.
IS. We oppose the Populist state tick
ct and Populist nominees for congress,
to the end of maintaining and perpet-
uating the Democratic party of Kan
sas Our weak effort would, of course,
avail little if it were single-handed,
but there are many thousands of
Democrats in the state who share our
opinions and will join with US in the
work.
