MANITOBA SCHOOL QUESTION
Settled ut Last : Tho Terms OF tn,
< Compromises. N.-ss (.

Compromise.
E oTTOW1A. Ont, Nov. 20.-The Mani
.toba school question which has more
than once during the past three years
threatened a disruption OF the Canadian
confederation,hasb been settled on terms
which, 1t Is believed, s%ill be sufficient
.ly satisfactory to both sides to put an
end to controversy.
Following are the main features OF
the terms OF the settlement which has
been accepted blythe Manitoba !, gov
ern.hent, and VIII be embodied shortly,
In an act Of the legislature OF that body,
viz: n
Religious teaching is to be conducted
In the public school. IN
Q) II authorized by q resolution
passed by majority Of school trus-,
tees, or.
(2) / II a petition be presented to the
board Of school trustees asking for re-
llgious teaching and signed by the
parent or guardians OF at least ten
children attending the school in a rural
district or by the parents or guardians
OF at least twenty-five children attend
ing school in city, town or village. &
School work OF n purely secular char
acter will occupy the whole Of the
school day. except the last half hour,
when tho representative Of any rclig-
ious denomination will be allowed to
come In and instruct the children be-
longing TO his denomination provided
the parents are willing to have them
remain. In cases where the people de-
eide not to have this religious instruc-,
ton, the regular school work will 60
on until the close of the school hours.
The prov!so that Is intended to make
tho schools acceptable to the minority,
Is that districts having an average at
tendance Of twenty-five Roman Catho-
lie school children shall be entitled to
have a teacher, Of their own denomlna-
ton. who must be fully qualified ac-
Ecordlug to provincial national school
standards. e.. y.
is In districts where the children speak
French wholly. they are to have n
teacher speaking both English and
French, so that they will learn Eng
lIsh as rapidly as possible. The road
ers used IN such schools will be bi.lln-
Gual, so that the children will grow up
from tho first accustomed to English.

LEADV1LLE, Col, Nov. 2O.-The most
important move yet made by the strIk-,
Ing miners Is to-day announced on what
is considered reliable authority. The
statement that the governor had decided
to take summary measures to suppress
further violence here and to bring the
strike to an end has. 1t is said, caused the
officers Of the union with the backing Of
the Western Federation of Miners. to de-
eide TO play q trump card which, they
think, will force the mine managers to
come to their terms under pressure from
the managers of mines in other districts
Of the state.
The union has sent emissarles to. all
other unions in the state to urge them to
inaugurate sympathetic strikes, thus ty-
ing up all mines in the state. Cripple

lon in the country. The Montana unions

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-should the

constitutional question Of prime 4 i'm
portance will arise for decision by the

provision Kansas could make Mexican

under this and other constitutional

An Asthma Cure at Last.

Medical science at last reports positive cure
for Asthma in the remarkable Kola plant. a
new botanical discovery found on the Congo
River, West Africa. It's cures are really mar
velous. Rev. j. l.. Combs OF Martnsburg. w.
Va, writes that it cured him Of Asthma of fifty
years standing, aud Hon. l.. @. Clute, of Gree
ley, Iowa. testifes that for three years he had
to sleep propped up in a chair, being unable to
lie down night or day from Asthma. The
K6la Plant cured him at once. To make the
matter sure these and hundreds of other cures
are sworn to under oath before a notary public.
So great is their faith in it's wonderful curative
powers, the Kola Importing Co., 1851 Broadway,
New York, is sending out large trial cases of
the KOla Compound free to all sufferers from
Asthma. Send them your name and address
on postal card. and they will send you large
trial case by mail free. 1t costs you nothing,
and you should surely try it.

Miss Elizabeth VI. Flagler pleaded guilty one
day last week TO involuntary manslaughter in
shooting Ernest Green. n colored boy. aud was
sentenced to pay $500 fine and spend three
hours in Jail. The fine was at once paid, and
the imprisonment undergone.
The action taken was surprise, not only to
the public, but the court officials. none but the
young lady's attorneys r. Ross Perry and Jero
NJ Wilson. Justice Cox. District Attorney Bir-
ney, and Miss FIagler's family thinking other
wise than that the trial of the accused would
be gone through with in the ordinary course
of events Miss Flager's counsel visited the
District Attorney, and it was therenpon agreed
that Miss Flagler should plead guilty to the
Indictment, and accept the result.
1t was desired by those having Miss Flagler's
interest in charge that the humiliation of a
lOUg-drawn-out trial in a crowded courtroom
be avoided il possible. The consultation with
Mr.. Birney, it is understood, left no reasonable
doubt that a conviction would be sure to follow
as the result OF the trial, and that the sentence
of the court would not. in all likelihood be
any less severe than if plea OF guilty were
entered.
Miss Flagler shot Ernest Green on the Morn
ing of Aug 21, at about 1870. Green and a
number of other boys were on their way toward
Kaorama to play ball. passing the residence of
Gen. Flagler, at 2l44 California avenue. The
Flaglers had been annoyed more than once by
boys stealing pears from tree that STOOD near
the fence, and Miss Flasler, according to her
~own statement, fred at them from her window.

Gen. Flagler's statement made after the ar
raignment was to the effect that the mother Of
Miss Flager slowly dying under the stress
of the impending trial and the disgrace of the
thing would eventually have killed her. There
is still criticism, however, of the action Of the
District Attorney and the presiding Justice,
Cox, for the light sentence.
