Chicago, March 30.-The Record
Washington correspondent has the fol-
lowing concerning the Hawaiian annex
ationists. the appointment Of Andrew D.

fetal character. TO confer informally

MANITOBA SCHOOLS.
Rome March 30-Archbishop Begir
OF Quebec, VINO was received in audi
ence by Pope Leo yesterday, told the
| Associated Press correspondent that one
purpose OF his visit here is 10 consuli
with the ecclesiastical authorities regard
ing the Manitoba school question. The
Canadian bishops, according to Arch
bishop Begin, are unit in opposition to
the Greenway-Laurier compromise, re-
gardng it as an iiluSory settlement OF
a vital issue. Partly from Archbishop
Begin and partly from Vatican sources,
The representative OF the Associated
Press learned that the pope, before inter-
vening with extreme measures, desires
through Monsignor Del Val, the papal
ALLOCATE to Canada, to obtain such inn
provement OF the Laurier-Greenway
compromise as will satisfy the Manito-
ba Catholics. For the rest, having re-
gard for the difficulty which arose in
the United States in an analogous stu
alton with Archbishop Ireland, the Holy
See will openly uphold the system of de-
nominational schools in Manitoba if the
Lauriar-Greenway compromise is not
satisfactorily amended. Monsignor Del
Val has full powers. His mission IS
primarily one of inquiry and ad referen-
dunn. Archbishop Begin, who also dis
cussed other Canadian religious ques-
tons, and the precarious condition Of
Cardinal Lacheraus health, will make
a longer stay in Europe than he at first
intended. ......

A MUTINOUS PRIVATE.
He Bombarded His Captain With
Soup and Coffee.

MODESTO, Sept. MILITARY circles
of this town have been greatly ex
cited over a court-martial just con-
cluded, in which Private Mark T. An
dreWs, Company d, n. G.. c., was on
trial Major r. j. Whitmore being
Judge Advocate. The evidence devel-
oped al the court-martial showed that
at the recent militia encampment at
Santa Cruz, Andrews had bombarded
Captain D. w. Morris of his company,
first with plate OF soup, which missed
its mark, and then with cup of cof-
fee, the latter missile striking the Cap
tain in the back From this evidence
the friends of Morris deduced the con-
clusion that the Captain was retreating
when attacked. The charge of using
vulgar and obscene language to his SUI
perior officer was a separate charge
preferred against Andrews.
1t developed during the progress of
the court-martial that Andrews had
attacked Morris because the Captain
had withheld 50 from Andrews pay
for service at the encampment on &C
count of a personal bill. alleged to be
due from Andrews to Morris.
Since the close of the encampment
Andrews has been a prisoner in the
Armory here under guard Major and
Judge Advocate Whitmore will pre-
pare the findings and name a sentence,
subject to the approval of Colonel S. 9.
Wright, Sixth Regiment, N. G.. c., who
ordered the court-martial.
