ManitOba's Premier Was at the
Ryan Hotel Yesterday.

Ryan Hotel Yesterday.
Thomas Greenway, premier of Mani
toba, registered at the Ryan yesterday,
coming in from Winnipeg on his way
East. The object of his trip was a
matter Mr.. Greenway would not dis
cuss, but 1t is understood that he is
on his way to Ottawa for conference
with other prominent Canadian Off
Gals.
There has been considerable dissatis-
faction in Canada, and particularly in
Manitoba, over the parochial school
problem, wherein the Catholics ask for
a portion of the school tax levy for the
support of their parochial schools, on
the ground that they are not only tax
ed for the support of the public schools,
but must also bear the entire expense
of maintaining their own institutions.
1t is stated that the government is
greatly worried over the decision of
the pope in the matter, especially as the
Catholics evince less disposition than
ever to accept the Laurier- GreenWay
settlement. A project is on foot. how
ever, to appoint a royal commission to
go into the matter fully with the hope
of arriving at some satisfactory set
tlement. In the meantime the rela-
tions between the federal and provin-
cial governments, represented respec
lively by Laurier and Greenway, are
somewhat strained, and this feeling has
even been carried into the bye elections,
several Of which have resulted adj
versely for the Greenway forces.
The latest news from the Klondike,
according to Mr.. Greenway, comes in
the form of letters written from Daw-
son City as late as the last of Septem-
Der. There can be no doubt that there
will be a shortage of provisions before
the winter is over and estimates show
that flour and other commodities will
practically give out by the middle of
February. Many prospecto,s went into
the Klondike late in the fall exec d. ngly
light, depending upon securing suffi-
cient supplies at Dawson, even though
they cost fabulous prices, and this will
add to the suffering.
The mounted police are doing all in
their power to prevent distress and
are now at work building a series of
cabins down the Yukon, within easy
days travel of one another, so that
all persons who may be forced to leave
Dawson can do so with less danger.
