be heard coming from the carts, but
the appeals were utterly unheeded.
Whether killed or wounded, all were

NO AGREEMENT REACHED.

Settlement Of the Manitoba School Ques-
tion Again Postponed.
WINNIPEG, Oct. 30. 1t is learned that
Q hitch has occurred in the conference
Of the settlement Of the parochial school
question now in progress at Ottawa.
Premier Laurier and the delegates from
Manitoba had agreed to allow half an
hour day in each school for the teach.
ing Of religion by the Catholics, the be-
lief being that this would settle the
difficulty.
It might have, as far as the Catholics
were concerned, but when the Protest.
ant leaders here heard Of It they raised
q big row. Such concession they de-
clared to be violation Of the National
school principles. So the Manitoba pre-
mier had to withdraw from this agree.
ment, and now, as far as can be learned,
no other scheme can be devised and the
settlement is as far of as ever.
