rIANITOBA SCHOOLS.
a Hitch in the Amicnbie Settlement
of the Vexed Question.

CHICAGO. Oct. pa special from
Winnipeg, Man, says: 1t is learned
that hitch has occurred in the con-
ference for the settlement of the paro-
chial school question now in progress
at Ottawa.
Premier Laurier and delegates from
Manitoba had agreed to allow half
hour a day in each school for the
teaching of religion by the Roman
Catholics, the belief being that this
concession would settle the difficulty.
1t might have settled it so far as
the Roman Catholics were concerned
bu,t when the Protestant leaders here
heard of it 'shey raised a big row. Such
a concession they declared TO be vio-
lation OF the national school principles.
So the Manitoba minister Mr.. Green
way, had to withdraw from this agree
ment, and now, az far as can be
learned no other scheme can be de-
vised. and the settlement is as far off
as ever. ..r

ACTIVITY NOTICED.

The jump in the price of wheat has
had marked effect in Ogden. This
being the distributing and shipping
center for northern Utah, the activity
of the market is at once noticed. Over
200 cars have been loaded out of Ogden
for the west; and besides this Brigham
Corinne and Chase's Crossing (Harris-
ville), have received a great deal. One
firm in Ogden-John Scowcroft & Sons
company-has handled since october
"a few pounds over 2,200 tons. c. a
Smurthwaite, George A. Lowe, z. c. Nj

and other firms have dealt heavily.
The peculiar fact about the shipping
is that it nearly all goes.west. Busi

Amusement by the Clerk.
The hearing on the protest of w. C.
Sumner against allowing the Populist
executive committee to substitute the
name of a. B. Patton for that Of Joseph
Parry on the Populist ticket, came
before Clerk Ledwidge yesterday The
minor and clerical errors Mr. Led
widge allowed che filers OF the petition
10 correct. leaving the question to be
decided the main Que of whether the
committee had authority to make such
change or not, Al tn. outset the
question of jurisdiction came up, as the
attorneys Tor Patton objected to the
introduction OF any testimony. They
claimed that the clerk had no judicial
powers and could make no determine
tion as to questions OF fact. They OBJ
jecsed TO the clerk seeing the minutes
of the convention or OF hearing the
testimony Of II. L. Geut, the secretary,
and the alleged mover of the motion
vesttng the authority IN the commit
tee.
Mr.. Ledwidge sustained their point
as to testimony, but was DESTROYS of
consulting the minutes of the conven-
ton This, however, they refused to
pe.'mit him TO do. Mr.. Henderson
urged that the clerk had. quasi judicial
ds well as ministerial powers, and un-
less he could determine such questions
as this the law could be overridden in
q dozen ways.
The clerk took the matter under adj
visement till 10 O'Clock this morning.
