WINNIPEG, Man, Aug. 2S.-Premier
Laurier's efforts to settle the Manitoba
parochial school question seem to be fu-
tile. The compromise accepted by the
Greenway Government does not suit
the Roman Catholics.
The official organ of Archbishop Lam
gevin, who is now in Rome consulting
with the Pope on the question, has this
to say in leading editorial:
Nothing but our separate parochial
schools will satisfy us. A settlement
which restores to us only the ghost OF
the shadow of our rights we will never
accept. The bare permission for the
clergy to visit schools and teach the
catechism will not do. To put plaster

LANDED ARMS AND MEN.
Return of "a Successful FIIibustering

Return of Successful FIIibustering
Trip TO Cuba.
NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-The Herald's
Key West special says: sensation
was caused this afternoon by the ar
rival of large black ships boat with
twelve Cubans aboard.
The first TO land was Major General
Carlos Roloff, followed by DR.. Nunez.
The steamer from which they landed
hurriedly put to sea, going up the gulf
and disappearing before the pilot boats
which had started toward her could
distinguish her name.
From one of the party 1t was learned
that three landings were effected, at all
of which disembarkment was made un-
der cover of the insurgent forces. The
first contingent consisted of thirty men
under Colonel Rafael Cabrera. Alto
gether forty persons were landed. But
they were insufficient, ii is asserted, to
properly handle the arms and ammu-
milton put ashore. 1t is alleged that the
expedition consisted of 1000 rifles, l.
100000 rounds of cartridges, Hotch-
kiss guns and large quantities of dyna-
mite, machets and clothing.

notwithstanding their present low
stocks; business has therefore been
upon very limited scale. Crystallized

part found buyers at slightly easier

The situation in Cuba remains un-
changed. According to the latest ad-
vice there is sufficient cane in the field
to make 100000 tons of sugar in 1867
Tin normal times there is enough to
make one million tons and mOre), but
as the chances of making a crop are
now much worse than they were year
ago, it is not likely, with the present
aspect of the political situation, that
the last crop can be exceeded.
From Java recent cables report a
further falling off in the yield, and
some go so far as to estimate the def
cheney in the present crop about 100, 900
tons. This must tell upon later ship
ments; the earlier ones being largely
in excess of last year, and these being
chiefly shipped to U. S., may bring ar
rivals there during September up to
10000 tons, a not excessive quantity
considering the requirements. The ac-
counts from other an-prOducing cOun>
tries are favorable, especially those of
the Louisiana crop, which promises to
be an early and abundant one.
America, in sympathy with Europe,
is dull, and has for the moment with
drawn all buying orders, but as i'm
ports during the present month cannot
be large, a revival of demand is looked
for.

Roots made satisfactory progress,
though still somewhat behind last
years. This has doubtless affected the
speculative market, which is lifeless,
and the premium on new crop is be-
coming less marked. There being for
the moment want of demand from

HOME VOYAGE OF THE FRAN

Through the Ice.

Through the Ice.
LONDON, Aug. PA dispatch TO
the Chronicle from Tromsoe, signed by
Dr. Nansen, gives Captain Sverdups
account of the voyage of the Fran after
Dr. Nansen left the boat The dispatch
says:
"The ice pressure was never as severe
as upon several occasions before DIR.
Nansen left us during June, 1896. We
were regularly exposed, however, to
violent pressure, caused by the chang
ing spring tide.
The Fran was once or twice lifted
from six to nine feet and the bottom
became visible. 1t rested on the ice.
So little effect did this have on the
Frams timbers that the men continued
their slumberings undisturbed.
AN easier Arctic exploration trip one
could hardly imagine. The principal
work was to take regular observations,
sleep and eat. The health of the men
was perfect during the entire eXpe-
dition. There was not a sign of scurvy
apparent among any of the men. When
all efforts to advance the boat through
the ice by the force of steam or a pro-
cess of warping failed, it was found
that gun-cottOn mines proved the best
means of shattering the ice.
