TERMS OF
Concessions Made Manitoba Catholics I'm
Lieu of Separate Schools.

WINNIPEG, Nov. 1l.-Oficial an
nouncement of the terms on which the
parochial school question has been set
tied is still delayed owing to Premier
Greenway's absence, but everything is
so definitely arranged that his minis.
tiers are not now so closely guarding the
secret. 1t is learned that concessions
have been made to the Catholics which
will likely pacify them for the loss of
their parochial schools.
The chief concession is that in one of
the rooms of each school the priests, for
half an hour each day, shall have the
right of i%nstructing the Catholic chill
dren. If the other denominations desire
the same privileges they will be
granted. In districts where there is
any considerable percentage of French
Catholic children the French language
shall be taught as we'll as the English.

MAY ELECT CARLISLE.
Senatorial Situation in Kentucky Is Much
Mixed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. ia special dis.
patch fir ON Frankfort, KY, says that
the candidacy of Governor Bradley for
the United States senate has led the
followers of his enemy, w. Godfrey
Hunter, also q Republican candidate,
to seek an alliance with the sound
money Democrats to elect Secretary
Carlisle. The election of Carlisle is by
no means impossible. While the Re-
publicans have a majority of the legis-
lature on joint ballot, it is an open
secret that one Of their members is
pledged to Carlisle. The Bradley peo-
pie say, however, that if the Hunter
forces go to Carlisle, the Blackburn
men will vote Tor Bradley and elect
him.

treaty was concluded in Washington
last night at the British embassy, Sir
Julian Pauneefote representing her
Britannia majesty and Secretary Olney
the United States. Since the return of
Sir Julian from London three weeks ago
Negotiations Toward a Final settlement
have been proceeding. Most Of the
meetings were of such an important
character that they were held either at
Mr.. Olney's residence or at the British
embassy, the two houses being but two
blocks separated. 1t happened that the
concluding meeting was at the en-
bassy yesterday, and special interest
was given to it from the fact that Lord
Salisbury, the British premier, was to
make a speech at Guild hall, London,
IN the evening. 1t is the annual event
at which the premier usually takes
occasion to review the status of the
most important international questions.
For this reason it was desired, if pos
sible, to acquaint Lord Salisbury of the
final and satisfactory adjustment of the
Venezuelan question i'll order that he
might make such announcement as he
thought fit concerning it. When Sec
rotary Olney and Sir Julian
Reached Their Final Conclusions,
a c~ablegram was at once dispatched to
Lord Salisbury, notifying him of the
result. 1t reached him within one hour
of the time when he went on the plat.
form at Guild hall, and it was the basis
for his announcement to England and
TO the entire world that the Venezuelan
controversy was settled. 1t was a gen.
eral announcement without detail and
without any reference to the personnel
Of the court of arbitration.
Thus Washington and London par.
ticipated in this eventful scene by
which the two leading English speak
ing nations reach an amicable means OF
adjusting the most troublesome interna-
tional question of recent years. Al
though Lord Salisbury's statement was
without details, it is possible to give
All of the Essential Features
Of the treaty concluded in Washington
last night. 1t was deemed best to make
the choice of King Oscar ii as the fifth
or decisive arbitrator, rather than to
leave it to the selection of the other
four arbitrators.
The other essential feature of the
treaty is that so years actual possession
is TO constitute title. With this linita.
ton as to the settled districts the entire
sweep OF Venezuela boundary is placed
in the hands of the court of arbitration.
The treaty overs only Venezuela, and
the question of general arbitration be-.
tween the United States and Great
Britain is left to future negotiations. 1t
is not expected that King Oscar will go
outside OF Sweden for the
Meeting of the ArbItrators,
and the court, therefore, is likely to sit
at Stockholm, the capital of that
country. Among the monarchs of
Europe King Oscar III is prabably tne
most popular, as he goes freely among
his people and is thoroughly democratic
III his ways, besides being universally
regarded as a man Of great attainments
II eminent fairness. The feeling en-
tertained for him is shown by the fact
that the Scandinavian residents of tho
United States are at present raising a
large sum with which to bay him a

Railroad RumOr.

Stephen l.. Little, the expert, has sub
mitted his report covering his investiga-
tons of the books and accounts of the Cen
trail Vermont railroad company for three
years, from June so, 1898 until June 80,
1896. He makes the Central Vermont
road show an average annual loss for the
.hree years OF about $4,000 and places
the operating expenses at about 20 pei
cent of gross earnings, with everything
charged to expenses.
He finds. the floating debt and fixed
charges Just as represented by the COM
pany, floating debt amounting to about
3, 800 200, which is largely held by the
Grand Trunk railway.
The unpleasant feature Of thew re-
port is the showing OF the Ogdensburg &
Lake Champlain and Rutland railroads, foI
it shows that the misfortunes of the Central
Vermont were largely due to these two
bad leases, which the receivers have now
given up.

The Result Of a Moose Call.

The battle which is necessary in capturing
a bull moose is an experience of the liveliest
wiius f1 OF Maine ana Canada is an expedition
looked forward TO with great Joy by the
sportsman.
The following from "Outing" of recent
date relates the experience of two sportsmen
who were seeking adventures with His
Majesty, King Moose.
We were fortunate in securing for this trip
a well known guide and who as a caller OF
Moose had no equal.
All the Indian callers have insisted on call
ing only after shutdown, but our guide calls
only in the hours of daylight, when the game
may be clearly seen.
After several attempts, one beautiful, still
frosty morning, we padded across the lake to
the western shore and climbed to a point on
the mountain which offered favorable site
for calling up Moose.
The guide gave the Moose call with all his
usual artistic variations, and then-well, a
great many things happened. There a
low, deep, muffied sound, which might have
risen from the ground at our feet, but which,
on the whole, seemed to emerge from the
thick belt of barren frs that lined the oppo-
site shore of the lake; then quick succession
of basso-profuudo grunts, followed by ter
rifle crashing of horns against the trunks and
limbs of trees. We dashed down the bank
in order to connect with the bull moose ex-
press. We got there in time to board the
r,
up, pushing their way through the alders
across the lake about one hundred yards
away. 1t was the king of the valley and no
mistake. His ears were thrown forward, his
horns shone like crown of glory in the pallid
October sun and every hair on his big black
name stood up as straight as the sentinel frs
from which he had emerged.
"Give it to him!" The bullet struck the
moose near the right shoulder, for as he
turned and charged through the hardhacks
we could see that his right foreleg was power
less. Still, he making regular schedule
time and though we kept heaving chunks of
sudden death across the pond at lively rate,
| it really seemed, when the moose disappeared
| in the woods, as though this not our
| moose after all. We went tearing through
the scrub and came suddenly upon huge,
| black animal with his hair turned the wrong
way, sick unto death, but kingly still in his
majestic mien, facing us not twenty feet
away. a crash from the rifle, and-then came
the war dance and the shouting.
| The noble animal measured nearly seven
| feet in height at the shoulder; the horns were
just four feet from tip to tip.
This is an experience of common occur
| renee as is chronicled at regular intervals.
| The Boston & Maine System and its con-
Meeting lines so cover the hunting regions OF
Maine that with very little effort one may
visit this wonderful region and participate in
this sport of sports. Information and time
tables may be had at ticket offices and at Bos-
ton City Ticket Office, 800 Washington st.

The Railroad Commission.

The state board of railroad commissioners
have prepared their biennial report for the
year ending July l, 1896. A few OF the
facts and figures are given here. and show
in part the painstaking work OF the COM
mission.
The number of miles of railway in the
state is 9S4 67 OF which 1886 miles are
double track.
There have been five miles of track added
during the past two years, by the Hard
wick and Woodbury. railroad, from point
on the st. Johnsbury and Lake Champlain
railroad to the granite quarres at Wood
bury. When the track is completed, the
line will be 10 miles long.
During the period covered by the re-
port, there have been 131 accidents re-
ported to the board of which so proved
fatal. TwenV-four people were killed
while walking or being on the track, and
IL were killed at highway crossings. Not
single passenger was killed during the
two years.
Sixteen petitions have been made to the
board, II have been heard in public ant
the other five were Withdrawn. These pc
titions covered a variety Of wants, viz, t.
locate street railways, to permit electric
roads to cross steam roads at grade, tt
abolish grade crossings, etc.
The expenses of the board for the 2
months ending September l, 1896, ar
So, 1850. 1t is estimated that the ser
vices and expenses Of the board includin,
printing and the cost of distribution of tn
biennial report for 1896 during the remain
ing quarter will not exceed $l,525, max
ing total expenditure of 81 953 SO.
The appropriation available to the com
mission for the two years is $4,000, s.
the unexpended balance is $2,036.

VERMONT.

Besides these we have scattered circu-
lation in the narrow gauge towns, other
towns in the northern part of Windham
county and southern part of Windsor
county and several more towns in New
Hampshire. 1t is safe to say that for pur-
poses of local advertising the TIMES has as
thorough circulation as the average news
paper in community Of from 10000 to
%, 900 people and it is the community that
regards Bellows Falls as its business centre.
Our average circulation tor the year has
been about $500, the largest single issue
being 1900. When it is taken into con-
sideration that local paper is read by the
subscriber and then loaned to all who ask
for it, it is seen how easily 5000 subscrib-
ers can thoroughly circulate paper among
$1,000 people.
We submit these thoughts for the benefit
of our advertisers and as an incentive to
those who do not advertise to consult their
own business interests.

Organism is buried to-day as certainly as

Florida and George do not foreshadow The

may be read in the prevailing sentiment

impotency of his campaign management,
the absence from the field of any number

all, the impregnable alignment Of

amount to pay for itself.
The New London IL Northern lease has
been a profitable one, the road showing

There is no prospect Of a speedy reor-

is good opinion that when re- organization
is effected It will include both the Ogdens-

based upon Mr.. Little's report that will
