Canadian Cabinet to Be Reorganized.
It's Policy Separate Schools.
OTTAWA, Jan. ga cabinet meeting
was held by the premier, Sir Mackenzie
Bowel and the six remaining members
of the ministry. at which it was decided
to fill Immediately the places in the
cabinet made vacant by the resigna-
tions of Messrs. Foster, Wood, Upper,
Dickey, Ives, Montague and Haggart.
Sir Franklin Smith, minister without
portfolio, said in an interview that all
vacancies in the government would be
filed without delay, and that the adj
ministration would proceed with it's
policy of re-establishing separate
schools in Manitoba. Should this prove
correct, it is not thought possible that
the new Bowel administration can
last, as the majority Of the English
Conservative members are strongly op-
posed to coercive measures with regard
to Manitoba.

Sound of Heavy Firing lndi-

All Trains From Surround

Refugees.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-A Journal spe-
cial from Havana says: The insurgent
armies are within sight of Havana,
and the firing of muskets and cannon is
Eplainly heard in the eastern suburbs.
The trains that can be gotten into the
city on the few railroads that have not
yet been destroyed by the patriots are
loaded with refugees from the sur
rounding cities and villages. Hundreds
of field hands have also arrived with
their families, and some Of them say
they could see the insurgents blow up
a railroad bridge Immediately after the
train had crossed within few miles
from the city. Steamers which have
cleared during the day are crowded to
their utmost capacity with fleeing pas
sengers. All the plantations in the
vicinity of Havana have suspended
grinding with the exception Of the
Toledo cane fields. This and the adj
vance of the insurgents has caused an
alarming exodus of families to Mariana
and the larger seaports.

SUBSTITUTE FOR BOND BILL
Senate Finance Committee Will Report

Senate Finance Committee Will Report
Free Coinage Measure.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The senate
finance committee has decided to re-
port senate substitute for the house
bond bill. The measure was agreed
upon by the silver majority. The SUBJ,
stitute provides for the free coinage Of
silver, for the coinage of the seignior--
age in the treasury, and makes it OPP.
tional with the secretary of the treas
ury to redeem greenbacks and treasury
notes in either gold or silver.
The silver substitute also provides
for the retirement of all notes of less
denomination than $40. The finance
committee Immediately began the con-
sideration of the tariff bill. It is said
that this bill will be reported substan-
TALLY as it came from the house, except
that an advance of 10 per cent of the
present duty on sugar will be provided
for, and the agricultural schedule will
be increased 20 or % per cent over the
present law. 1t is expected that the
tariff bill will be ordered reported, al
though the absence of Senator Wolcott
may prevent such action, unless pair
in the committee can be arranged for
him

Syndicate Bid for the Entire
Lot Likely to Be Ac-
copied.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Sup to the
time of closing the department the
treasury officials had received only
few kilograms concerning the new loan,
and these were not Of character to in
dictate how the announcement had been
received throughout the country. Al
though the president was constrained
to make this popular loan SO far as
possible by soliciting individual sub
scriptions, it is understood that neither
he nor Mr.. Carlisle place any reliance
in its success except through the aid OF
the syndicate, not because Of any lack
of confidence, but for the reason that
the gold of the country is very largely
in the hands of the bankers, who are
unwilling to part with it except to their
own material advantage, especially at
this time, when it is at premium.

THE FoRTY-FIFTH STATE.

inaugural Exercises Of Utah's First Of
.ficials Held at Salt Lake.
SALT LAKE, Jan. 8.-Inaugural day
was celebrated as no other in the his
sorry of Utah. The city was thronged
with visitors from outside points and
with thousands Of home people, which
made locomotion well nigh impossible
through the public thoroughfares. The
decorations of the Tabernacle were
most lavish. Spread beneath the CEN
trail surface of the dome-like ceiling
was "Old Glory" the largest American
flag ever made. In the upper corner
among the other stars was the 10th,
representing Utah.
Precisely at 1915 Acting Governor
Richards called the vast audience to
order and made a brief address. In
conclusion he said: "As governor of
the Territory Of Utah now surrender
to your favored servant the executive
Office upon his taking the oath pre-
scribed by the constitution, which will
now be administered by Chief Justice
Zane" Governor Wells and other state
officers then took the oath of Office and
the exercises were concluded by the
singing Of America"

DID SOME HARD FIGHTING.

Jameson's Column Held Out Strongly
Against Great Odds.
CAPE Town, Jan. Sit is learned
that after Wednesdays fight, DR.. Jame-
sons column, originally about 700 men,
moved southwark, fighting hard, all the
way throughout the night, and event.
ually reached Vlakvontein, six miles
from johannesburg, on Thursday
morning when the column was COM
pletely surrounded by 1880 Beers. In
spite Of this DIR. Jameson's fol-
lowers fought stubbornly until noon,
when all their cartridges were exhaust
ed. In addition, they had not tasted
food for twenty-four hours, and were
worn out with fatigue. But the white
flag was not hoisted by DR.. Jameson's
orders.
It Is known that DR.. Jameson expect
ed 1900 Uitlanders to join him at
Krugsdorp. The Dutch press is jubi-
liant at this lowering of British pres
tige, and advocates the Incorporation Of
"Rhodsia" with the Transvaal republic.

Kaiser's Stand on the Trans
vaal Question Can Have No
Other Meaning.
Surrender of Her Suzerainty
Would Be a Shameful.
y Concession.
While the Matter Remains IN
settled War Is Constantly
Menaced.

NEW YORK, Jan. "a dispatch to
The World from London says: South
Africa SO completely occupies the atten-
ton of the English that the controversy
with the United States is, for the day
at least, forgotten. If itcomes up again
in its serious form of three weeks ago it
will be because Lord Salisbury is too
stubborn to learn the lesson Of the Ger
man emperor's message.
That the kaiser's telegram to the
president of the Transvaal means
avowed hostility to England is univer-
sally accepted. He fouts at Great
Britain's suzerainty over the Transvaal.
To surrender that claim would be the
most shameful concession in England s
history for two centuries. The posi-
bility of it is scornfully rejected by the
entire British press, Tory and Liberal
alike. But while that question remains
unsettled war with Germany is con-
stantly menaced. Nor is the secession
of the South African colonies made
much less threatening by the
Unexpected Resignation,
WltuOuJ luA oApIdudUlOu, VI CeCil
Rhodes as premier of Cape Colony.
Rhodes only makes way as premier to
tried and loyal lieutenant. While in
office he was responsible official of
the queen, and could only traitorously
conspire against her government. His
science and inaction while another
lieutenant is in mortal peril in the
Transvaal remains unexplained. If he
has absolutely surrendered it must
mean that he has lost his nerve, if not
his faculties. The conviction that this
is not the case is still general in London
and that, therefore, the official dis
patches from South Africa do not tell
the real truth of the situation. In any
event, the complete isolation of Eng
land, in which there seems seems no
possibility of improvement in the i'm
mediate future, makes it quite incredi-
BILE that she will pursue her quarrel
with the United States while the
treatening attitude of Germany, of
Russia and of France is maintained.

large subscriptions from private in

amounted to only about $40, 000,0 900,
and to the last loan but little more,

none, left the government little option

is now about IA.
