Politics in Winnipeg.

New York, January g. "A Herald spe-
cial from Winnipeg, Man., says that a
sensation was caused last night in con-
nection with the bitter election contest
by the publication in the chief organsof
ment Of ppoliticalscharges against the gov
eminent. 1t is alleged that the Green
way party entered into compact.with
Mr.. Laurier, the liberal leader, not to
repeal the present school act. There is
to be but a single system of schools. 1t
is alleged that they are to be known as
national, but provision is made that in
districts where Roman Catholics can
support schools of their own, they are to
be accorded theiprivileges and the Roman
Catholic taxes are to be diverted to the
support of Roman Catholic schools
The charge which is being given wide
circulation may have the effect of defeat
ing the Greenway government in the
election on January Is.

THE NEW POET LAUREATE.
The Latest Production of the Queens
Appointee.

London, January 3.-The appointment
of Mr.. Alfred Austin as Poet Laureate
is received with comments which, on the
whole, are pitiful rather than unkind.
Two or three newspapers ars cruel
enough to remark that Lord Salisbury
mas been guided in his selection by the
coincidence of the Christian names of the
late poet Laureate and the present ap-
pointee
AS matter of fact, Mr.. Austin has
really done the Conservative party some
service with his pen, and there is con-
SIDERABLE excuse for the cry raised in
some quarters that the appointment is a
partisan reward
Herewith is the new Ilaurea te's first
Seml-offioial effort as the lyric defender of
MS country. The following lines were
W.T. Written l last week in reply to William
in m" wbioh sonnet sonnet, The purple East, "

language SO soathing that it has brought

thousands of honest Englishmen. The
poet laureate's reply is:

Willy "DR. WEEKS"
He Has Evidently Had Very Checkered
Career.

Old Orchard, January 3.-The evidence
against DR.. Noyes Jerome Weeks, the
specialist, for whom officers are searching
to arrost him, on the charge of attempt
ing to defraud Mrs. Inez Seavey of Saco,
to whom he made matrimonial PROPOSE
ton, continues to multiply
1t has been learned that he attempted
shrewd practice with another Saco woman.
Mrs. franklin Tuttle, relative of Mrs.
Seavey who was being treated by him for
serious ailments.
He advised taking her to hospital,
said he would pay her bills and take as
security her title to her home. She is
10Th to believe that he wanted to swindle
her.
Prosecuting officers have received a
letter from W. E. Bodine, a merchant at
Newburyport, Mass, which contains the
details of DR.. Weeks's checkered career.
The doctor was employed four months as
a saleman for Bedtime and mlsappropri-
ated various sums to his own use.
The letter says Weeks married a girl
named Jones at Westerly, r. L., after
getting possession of her bank account of
$1,000, and i'll treated ner. She died after
giving birth to child. He was driven
out OF Rhode Island.
Later he attempted to swindle
Jamacia Plains woman of household
goods, some Of which he pawned. He got
into her confidence by working the
lover game. He jumped bail and was
rearrestsd at Palmer, Mass, where his
present wife settled with the court and
secured his release. His latest escapade
was atealing a grip in Portsmouth.
The writer of the letter declares the
present Mrs. Weeks is deserving no
sympathy. There is some doubt as to the
legality of her marriage When first
asked where she came from she said
Lowell, tIass., but afterwards said Mon
mouth. She claims to have buried her
first husband and one or two children
and says she was married to Weeks four
years ago.
