Patterson, whom he killed lsst sug,-
mer as the betrayer of his beautiful
wife, under most remarkable circum-
stances. The trial was full Of sensa-

stand in his own behalf, Lyon said
that he had reason to expect undue
intimacy between his wife and Pat

RiBen.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. 2.-According to
tho inform alton furnished by the Rus
alan sugar manufacturers on November
last and transmitted to the State Do
partmens by United States Cnnsul Gen.
erAl Ksrel at St. Petersburg, the aros
OF land In Russin under beet cultiva ton
In 1895 amounted to $40 91O acres, or
29,655 acres more than in 1894. The
quantity of sugar Is estimated at 717,5
tons, which would be an increase of
115.6o7 tons over last years crop.
The consul general, however, points
out that these estimates are founded on
the most favorable conditions which
may not be realized. The prices OF eugar
have risen abroad causing an increased
demand for Russian sugar. The United
States sugar trust ia said to have taken
100000 bags from Hamburg. consider
ably decreasing the stock there, md
other clements of the increase are tho
intention ofGermany to raise tho bounty
and increase expectation, and the ex-
listing raw weather, which impedes the
manufacture of sugar.
The heavy purchases by the United
States sugar trust ie taken ns an indica
ton that their stock, accumulated be-
fore the passage OF the Wilson bill, has
been exhausted, and further cause for
increased prices Is the doub existing as
to whether Cub, can be relied upon to
export any sugar this year.

The Manitoba School Question q PerpIex
ing Problem

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 2.-What appenrs
20 be the most interesting session OF the
Canadian parliament since 1867, when
the provinces were confederated, opened
to-day. On the question of schools in
Manitoba the government Ia so seriously
divided as to jeopardize its stability.
In 1890 the Legislature OF Manitoba
passed bill abolishing separate schools
for Catholic children. The hierarchy
OF the province appealed against the
bill to the imperial privy council, the
highest court in tho British en- pire.
The privy council decided that the
Legislature of Manitoba was acting
within its right in passing the bill for
the adjustment OF separate schools,
but last winter another appeal was
taken on the ground that certain rights
held by the province at the time of tia
entering the Dominion confederation
had been violated. This appeal re-
suited in the imperial privy council
leaving discretionary power with q
Dominion parliament to aid the Mani
toba Catholics.
1t ia on this question that the fate Of
the present conservative government
hinges. Some OF the members who rep
| resent protestant constituencies and OF
whom there are ninety-two, cannot vote
for the re establishment of separate
schools And be re-elected. Ia the last
| four by-elections three opposition can
didateB have been returned, and as indi.
| cations show, the government will be
defeated in the house in the coming
session IL they carry out their promise
to bring in bill that will supersede the
Manitoba legislatures act, and that will
re-establiah Roman Catholic schools.
The population Of Manitoba is 200, 600,
of whom only 10000 are Roman Gath
olic3.

WASHINGTON, Jan. "A disagree
ment has arisen in the FIRST Presby-
terrain Church of Washington between
the Rev. t. De Witt Talmage and the
assistant pastor, Rev. Adolos Alien,
over which special meeting of the
Washington Presbytery will be called.
Whom DR. Ta|mage cams to the church
recently. 1t was arranged that he should
preach Sunday evenings, while DR..
Sunderland, with whom he was made
co'pastor, should alternate In the pulpit
Sunday mornings with Mr.. Allen, the
assistant pastor.
The church has been crowded on Sun
day evenings since DR.. Tslmage began
to preach and there ia demand that
he should hold the pulpit twice on Sum
days. Offers have also come from other
churches for DR.. Talmage's services on
Sunday mornings. He has announced
to the elders that he desires to preach
twice each Sunday; that he Ia able to
and that the pressure on him seems q
providential call. The elders have the
same opinion.
Mr.. Allen. however, stands upon his
rights, which are determined by the
contract and by church probity and de-
clines to yield the pulpit. Consequently
the Presbytery will be called upon to
decide the question.

BALTIMORE, Md, ] An. 3.-The Manu-

Church of Washington, and his ss-
sistsnt, Rev. A iolos Allen. is unique
one, to say tina least. DR.. Talmage iB
only fsquired to preach every Sunday
evening; but the desire to henr him
oftener has resulted in request from
the elders and the entire congregation
for him to deliver 9 sermon on Sunday
mornings also, which he would willingly
do but for the objections Of his assls-
ssns, who refuses to yield the pulpit TO
him. II Is not often that man is
anxious to do double work for the same
pay, or that one refuses to do less work
than he contracts for. The First
Presbyterian Church of Washington,
however, seems blessed in both par
ticulars, and it's members are to be con.
graduated on their good fortune.

A CHANGE NOT NEEDED.

AS will be seen from the proceedings
of the adjourned meeting Of the City
Council last night. published elsewhere
In THE TIMEs, NOT much progress was
made by that body in disposing Of the
provisions OF the new city charter. A
number Of citizens were present, but not
many of them took part in the discus
sion Of che proposed amendments. and
1t is evident from the vote on different
measures that the Council is by no
means united in any series OF changes
In the present charter. while, from the
views expressed by citizens generally,
1t is plain that the people OF this city
as whole do no. just now see any ne
cessity for any alter !. lions al all in that
document.
In the matter OF giving the mayor
the powers Of police justice, Council
decided to mako No change by vote of
ID to s, while /: WAS resolved to create
the office Of tax collector by vote of 10
to 8. AS g tax collector would have to
perform some Of the duties now devolv
ing upon the city treasurer and COM
missioner OF revenue or their deputies,
It Is natural to infer that the creation
OF this Office (tsx collector) means the
paying OF salaries to the treasurer snd
commissioner of revenue. Council will
meet again tonight to continue the
consideration Of the report of the char
ter committee, and 1t Is not, by any
means, settled that the remaining
recommendations will be adopted.
Indeed, since the discussion of this
question began the feeling that any
change in the charter at this time is
unnecessary has grown in strength. and
there is but little doubt but that If the
matter were left to the people they
would decide by good majority to let
the charter remain ss.it IL. Roanoke,
in her short, but eventful career, has
seen many cha ges both as to the gen.
eral prosperity and the notifications OF
the city government. As to these last
some were urgently needed. others wore
not 80 importantly demanded and soms
were not only not called for, but were
absolutely Oharmful In the pscuniary
loss entailed. The last change was
only two years ago, and the experience
since then does not justify the belief
thss any more alterations in the charter
are necessary.
The city is getting on as we'll as could
be expected under the present laws and
many OF it's best citizens, men who own
the property and pay the taxes. believe
a change is not needed, necessitating as
1t would considerable expense and
much vine and labor. The changes
proposed will require complete over
hauling and semodeling OF the present
system of city government, for which
there would not be conponsating bone
fits, and which might cause cunsidera-
BILE trouble and friction before masters
would move on smoothly again. In
view Of these facts and of the evident
desire, OF the people to let we'll enough

charter remain as Ii 10 70, the present,
