TRIUMPH OF GREENWAY,
Manitoba Electors Indorse His
Stand on the School
Question.
The Premier's Strength in the New
House Increased by Four
New Members.

WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, Jan. 15.-Mani-
toba general elections, held to-day TO se-
cure a mandate from the people on the
school issue, resulted in the almost unan-
imous return of Premier Greenway's gov.
eminent In the last House Greenway
had twenty-seven followers out OF the
forty members of the Legislature. Indi-
cations are tonight that his strength in
the new House will be increased by four,
or thirty-one in all. The sole issue, except
IN isolated districts, was the school ques-
tion as against upholding the right OF the
province TO make its own educational laws
and to administer the same without fed
eral interference.
In 1890 Manitoba passed an act abolish
ing state aid to Roman Catholic schools
and adopting system of national schools.
The Catholics appealed to the highest
courts in the realm to have this act over
ruled, but met with reverses in every in
stance until last year, when the Imperial
Privy Council in London rendered iudg-
ment, giving the Dominion Parliament at
Ottawa power to re-establish separate
schools.
An order to that effect was accordingly
forwarded from the Ottawa Government
to Premier Greenway's government. His
reply was refusal to act. A second
order was given; Greenway again refused
to establish schools, and to-day he ap-
pealed to Manitoba to either indorse or
condemn his stand. They have almost
unanimously indorsed 1t, but the sup
porters of separate schools made bitter
struggle.
