MANITOBA SCHOOL QUESTION:
Text of the Finding in the contro-
versy Based on the report OF
Mar. del Val.

WINNIPEG MAN, Oct. ia letter
has been received in this city which pur-
ports to contain the text OF the find ing in
the school question, based on the report
of Mgr Merry del Val.
The finding as outlined in the letter is
regarded as taking favorable view OF the
settlement reached between the Federal
and local Governments. 1t states that
wherein these differed, but do not clash,
the church desired that there shall be har-
mony.'
This is interpreted to mean that both
church and state have an interest in edu-
cation. one in religious and the other in
secular phases and where both can attain
their object without sacrifice OF cardinal
principles i'll one system of schools, these
may be adopted by the church.
1t is said the report wou d have been
m ade public a fortnight ago, but was
stayed pending Inc arrival II Rome of
Archbishop Bruche, who, according to
common report. bears letter 10 the Holy
Father expressing the views of Mgr.
Langevin and other Canadian Bishops
1t is further alleged that he Bishops
were all informed regarding the nature of
Mgr. Merry del VAS recommendations.

ARBITRATION WITH SIAM.

The United States Will arbitrate it's
differences with Siam. thus putting in
practical operation right away the princi.
pies which it has been advocating for
more than quarter of II century; but
which, now that there seems to be Il
chance of carrying them out on II grand
scale, has suddenly met with check in
the Senate. The two claims of this Gov
eminent against Siam are one arising
from the assault of Siamese soldiers on
the United States vice consul ut Bangkok
last Decem Der, and i'm old claim known
as the Cheek claim. Negotiations OH this
latter claim have been in progress for
some time, but with unsatisfactory re-
suits: but now that Uncle Sam seems to
be in earnest the probahil!;i les IRE that
both Questions will soon be submitted to
arbitration. The Creek claim is the re.
suit of the romantic experience of Il young
North Carolina doctor, who went to Siam
as Il missionary surgeon some time ago.
He WAS so successful in his surgical oper-
atons and his treatment o. the sick that
he WAS appointed physician to the king,
and while thus engaged was able 30 OBJ.
tain many concessions from the govern
ment, one of these being the shipment of
teak logs from the country To further
his work DR.. Cheek advanced to the
kings agents the sum OF 5000, 900; but in
consequence of the prevalence of II severe
drouth for two years he was unable to
get the logs out of the country in the
time expected, and the government
charged him with delinquency and viola
ton Of contract and confiscated his ec-
plants and forced him into bankruptcy
Dr. Creeks appeal to the king for re-
dress was Intellectual, and he Finally APP
piled TO the United States Government
for assistance. The doctor has since died,
but his heirs are prosecuting the claim,
and il successful, as they ought to be,
they will receive damages amounting to
Il million dollars or more.
