REPORT SENT OUT FROM WIN
NIPEG.
HE ISN'T GOING TO RESIGN,
NOR is HE GOING TO HELP MIR.
LAURIER AT OF
TAWA.
SCHOOL MATTERS ARE QUIET NOW.
Provincial Parliament Too Strongly
One-Sided to Keep Up Interest
in the Question.

Hon. Thomas Greenway premier Of Mani
toba, was at the Hotel Ryan yesterday, on his
way form Winnipeg to Toronto. Mr. Green
way said to G o b g reporter that while
the school question in his province had been
an important subject for discussion, it was
now losing its interest. Made a party ques-
ton at the last election, it had given his gov
ernment an overwhelming majority in the
provincial parliament
This majority continued Mr.. Greenway,
''makes everything bit one-sided. For the
present all that 1 say is that we shall
carry out the existing laws, which do not pro-
vide for separate schools. The dominion cab
met, you know. is at work a new enact
ment which attempts to change the present
legal status of the schools in Manitoba.
My particular object in going East is to
attend to certain immigration matters. The
province is receiveing a great many settlers
this year. They're not from the eastern prov
inces, but from Great Britain, and are alto
gether desirable. The fame of Manitoba's S
great wheat crop last year has done much to
advertise the country. Yes, the province is
settling up very we'll, and no part seems to
be favored by the newcomers more than an
other
Has the provincial government. Mr. Green
way, given grant to the Canadian Pacific,
or to any other company, made any con-
ceSslons whatever with view to the construc-
ton of new railroad southeast from Winni-
peg to connect with the Duluth & Winnipeg
railroad?'
mot that I'm aware Of The scheme for
this road is a new thing to me. I've only Just
heard of it, Our government has had to do
with only one new railroad this year, and
that's the line to. be built northwest for 100
miles, through a new district, from some
point on the Manitoba & Northwestern road.
The point isn't decided yet, but the road will
be begun this year.
Business is certainly improving in Mani
toba, and Winnipeg seems to have taken a.
fresh start
is 1t your intention, as telegraphed from
Winnipeg, to resign the premiership, so that
you can join Laurier at Ottawa?"
We'll, really, l never heard of such a thing
until l saw it mentioned in the G O this
morning I'm not going to resign, and am not
gong East to further any scheme of Joining
Mr Laurier-s There ism a word of truth in
the story
Accompanying the premier were G.. H.
Allen, one of Winnipegs leading Britishers
whose partner, Hon. ]. D. Cameron, is a mem
per OF the Greenway government, and c. L.
Shaw, author and journalist
Mr.. Shaw accompanied the Gordon relief
expedition as one Of the Canadian voyageurs
and is thoroughly up in all that relates to the
Souoan. In view Of the present difficulties
II is more than interesting to hear Mr. Shaw's
account of his varied experiences
His vivid descriptions in letters to the To-
ronto Saturday Night will long be remembered
by Canadians.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.
Charles w. Leary Attacked in the
ROndO District.

ROndo District.
1t Is very seldom that anything in the
line of a hold-up occurs In ST. Paul, but
when it does it is usually in the Rondo
street substation district, and in the terri
tory over which Lieut.. Pendy has charge
They seem to select his territory as easy,
and make the most of it. The last case
OF this kind came off Monday night, when
Charles W.. Leary, boolSkeeper in the en-
ploy OF Field Schlick Co., was held up
and beaten by two highwaymen near Nelson
avenue and Lewis street Monday night An
approaching pedestrian frightened the rob-
bers away before they could search their
victim, and they secured no booty, though
Mr.. Leary carried sum of money and
valuable gold watch.
The hold-up took place shortly before 12
o'clock, while Leary was returning from a
social gathering which he had attended on
Kent street. Approaching the corner of
Lewis street, Leary met two men coming in
the opposite direction
Just as he reached the two strangers they
separated and forced him to go between
them. Scarcely had Leary passed the fore
most man when he received a savage blow
on the head which knocked hom down. On
attempting to rise both men struck him.
ana at the same time began ransacking
ms pockets for their contents. Just as
Leary began to lose consciousness some one
approaching frightened the highwaymen,
and, leaving their victim, they fed down
Lewis street. Leary regained his feet and
hurried to his home on Robert street, where
his chief injury was found to be severe
confusion on the head back of the right
ear. The chances are the officer in charge
at nights doesn't know yet that ANYTHING
has happened
