AN EXCITING DEBATE
In the Manitoba Lcgislature-Av Victory for
Greenway.

WINNIPEG, Man, Feb. 27.-There was
an exciting debate in the Manitoba
legislature when Attorney-General
Slfton's resolution protesting against
contemplated federal interference in
Manitoba school matters was carried
by vote of 81 to Z.
The result of the vote was great
victory for Greenway, as he had only
expected 20 supporters on the vote.
Maj. Mulvey made warm sp ,ech in
support of Manitoba's position. lie
said he had been brought up in schools
where children of all religious denomi-
nations attended and this was one rea-
son why he was firm believer in ma
tional schools. All great reforms were
not made without some violation of the
constitution, and as an instance he
mentioned the abolition of slavery in
the United States.
The liberties of this province were
never in such danger as at present.
He had taken up his gan four times to
suppress domestic troubles. lie was
prepared to take it up for the fifth
time in the interest of the liberties OF
Manitoba. lie called upon his fellow
members TO support national schools.
Mr.. Robin deprecated the words OF
Maj. Mulvey, threatening rebellion and
sedition against law and order. Th,
papers of the United States will fame
with headlines saying Manitoba is il
rebellion, members of the house offer
ing TO shoulder their rifles against the
constitution. Does the chief law ad
wiser of her majesty in Manitoba. the
sworn officer of the crown, agree with
him? pause TO hear his reply. Pause.
He is afr1id-he dare not.
Mr.. Malvey-l DENY threatened re
bellion. said If rebellion should
result would be the first member o.
the house to take up by rifle"

BASELY BETRAYED,
And So o. s. Cox Thought Life
Not Worth Living.
AFOaTUHE, ALMOST WITHIN HIS GRASP,
Lost Though the Treachery Of the Man
He Had Be'riended, Who Sold His
knowledge for a Song and
Simply Got Laugh.

SfoK4NE. Wash. Feb. 27.-Word has
Been received from Northport that o.
G. Cox, sB old prospeetor. who tried to
commit suicide there Wednesday. is
dead. and thereby hangs tale,
Five years ago Cox, with Dan Crown
was on the Colville Indian reservation,
opposite the town of Northport, and
While climbing TO the top Of hill to
locate themselves, having lost their
way, they discovereda very rich quartz
ledge, samples Of which assayed be-
tween si6C ard $500, and which In char
ter is identical to the famous Silver
King. near Nelson, b. G. There was
little prospect of the reservation being
opened for We ars, so they concealed
the exposed part of the ledge and it is
how fully covered over by grass and
ART.
Shortly after making the discovery,
Cox formed the acquaititeuce OF Ed
Cowan, one of the best-known tisws'
paper men in the state, and to him he
told Of the rich find, and together the
friends, Cox, Cowan and Crown agreed
TO wait patiently until the reservation
was opened and then locate the mine
that was to make them all rich and
happy. Cox, during all the interven-
ing years, prospected around In this
state and British Columbia, waiting
for the time when he should acquire
wealth three his fortunate discovery.
| At last the hour came, and to Crown
was left the work of skirmishing to get
on the ground first, he being the
youngest and strongest of the party,
while Cox was getting old and weak.
Cowan, for the past several months,
has been at Rossland, Il. G., and there
made known his knowledge of the
ledge. Several men got around him
and induced him to leave Cox and
Crown and locate them. This he final
ly agreed to do. Then II was suggest
ed that IL the location notice showed his
name his former partners might suspect
him. and SO when he made the rush
and located the claim his own name
was left out. The men whose names
were attached, however, stopped him
and, giving him the laugh, refused to
deed him any interest in the mine, and
when Cox went to get his interest from
Cowan he learned not only that he had
lost the mine which he had waited
years to get, but that the man he had
treated as friend and brother, whom
he had camped with and fed for years
had deliberately sold him out for a
mess of pottage, and had not even re.
ceived the pottage The knowledge
proved too much for Cox, and his sui
eide followed.
The mine for which he waited fol
five years Is said to be very valuable
Marcus Daily has already offered 10
bond II for 81, 100000. This is the first
tragedy in the opening of the Colville
reservation.
