Fine beer, like Anheuser-Busch,

MANITOBA SCHOOL QUESTION.
The Pope's EncyclicaI Relating to
the Subject.

ROME, Dec. 24-The Pope's encycli-
cal on the Manitoba school question is
published here this evening. After re-
calling the religious history of Can
ada, and eulogizing its scholastic insti-
tutions, his holiness expresses regret
at the decisions taken seven years ago
in Manitoba relative to the Catholic
schools, and points out the rights of
Catholics, according to the federal
agreement
The Pope condemns a school system
based On religious neutrality; praises
the zeal the Bishops have displayed on
the question; regrets that the Catholics
are not equally united owing to the
political passions, and admits that the
authorities have done something to di-
minish the inconveniences of Manitoba
school legislation.
But his holiness declares this to be
inadequate, and exhorts Catholics to
persist in claiming all their rights,
though they must not refuse any par
tial reparations obtainable, with the
view TO reduce the perils of the educa-
ton of the youth.
The encyclical says that in the event
of these being unobtainable, Catholics
should provide their own schools, and
adopt, under the guidance of their
Bishops, programme Of study consist
ent with their religion and all literary
and scientific progress.

bell, the well-known bicycle racer, re-
turned to-day from a midwinter horse
back ride over the overland route from
Spokane to Teslin Lake, the source Of
the Yukon
He said to-day: ''It is the only safe
and easy route into the Klondke.'
He went few miles beyond Hazel
ton, about LOCO miles from this city,
and within $50 miles of Teslin Lake.
His companion, Len Miller of Seattle,
remained at HaZelton, and will push
through to the Stewart Ever country

Mr.. Campbell says the route trav
erses an open. undulating country, the

versed with men who came in from the
Teslin Lake country, and they reported
the trail open over that part of the
route. Some of them have been pack
ing and driving cattle over it for fifteen
years, and arrangements have been
made to take 1000 head Of cattle over
this route in the spring.
Campbell says there is good grazing
along the entire route, and an abun-
dance of wood and water Between
Quesnelle and Hazleton he met Indians

SAFETY APPLIANCES.
Must be Used by All Railways En-
gagged in Interstate Commerce.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 24-The Inter
state Commerce Commission has issued
a circular to the railroads promulgating
the order extending for two years the
time within which the railroads shall
equip their cars and engines with auto
matte couplers and driving brakes.
The commission, in their order, review
the testimony given at the hearing ac-
corded the railroad and labor represen-
tatives. The arguments advanced are
not discussed. The commission, how
ever, says:
Some misunderstanding and confu-
sion appear to have arisen in respect to
the question as to what carriers are sub
ject to the provisions of this Act. Some
appear to understand that their amen
ability to this law is dependent upon
their being subject to the Act to regulate
commerce. 1t will be seen by reference
to the first section of the Act in regard
to safety appliances that it applied to
any common carrier engaged in inter
state commerce by railroads.

AMERICAN HORSES.
No Good Reason Why They Should
Not Meet Ready Sale Abroad.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-Secretary
Wilson of the Agricultural Department
is displaying much interest in the en-
couragement of the expectation of
horses for sale in European markets. He
believes there is no good reason why the
United States should not supply many Of
the horses used abroad, and is especially
impressed with the belief that we could
breed in this country, particularly in
the Western States, horses which could
be serviceable for cavalry purposes.
The agents of the Department in Lon
don and other places have been in
structed to make reports on this sub
ject, covering the demand, price, ETC.
This information will be embodied in
one of the bulletins soon to be issued.
Mr.. Stubs, agent of several horse as
sociations in this country, will leave for
Europe in a few days to investigate the
horse markets of Europe with special
reference to cavalry horses, and such
data as he obtains of general interest
to horse breeders who might be induced
to embark in this new field of competi-
ton will be turned over to the Depart
ment for publication.

PORTLAND, Dec. 24.-George Ruth
of Flathead Mont, reached Portland
on the steamer Elder this evening, hav-
ing come direct from Dawson City,
which point he left on November 5th.
Warned of the suffering that was immi-
nent before the winter passed, owing
to the shortage of provisions in Daw-
son and vicinity, Mr.. Ruth disposed of
all his supplies, except ITO pounds,
which he used on his way to Dyea.
He states that there We're from 5000

visions there are sufficient to winter

there, he said:
"All has never been told of the rich

RELIEF FOR YUKON MINERS.
The Government Expedition Being

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24-Th preiim-
inaries of the Klondil1e relief expedition
are being rapidly arranged by the War
Department. Lieutenant Devore and
DR.. jackson were busy this morning
making final preparations for their trip
to Lapland, and will start for New York
tonight.
SECRETARY Alger has cabled to Mr.
kjellman at Alien, Norway to contract
for 800 head of reindeer in advance Of
the arrival there of Dr. jackson and
Lieutenant Devore. This was done to
save time, so that all will be ready for
the final purchases and the shipment Of
the animals when DR.. Jackson arrives at
Aiten.
Lieutenants Preston and Ryan of the
Ninth Cavalry have been ordered to take
charge of the pack trains which are to
be gathered up from points in Wyoming

racks. Secretary Alger believes that
these trains viii be of great use in get

Members of the Corporation to Re-
ceive q Dividend.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 24.-At its
recent annual meeting the California
Winemakers' Association, which had
been carrying in trust for its members
the bulk of the wine product of 1896,
voted to go into the market as dealers
to dispose of it's surplus. The sum
OF $4,000 is to be distributed among
the members Of the corporation the
coming week as the immediate outcome
OF the new policy. That amount is
equivalent to l cent a gallon on the
hold-over crop in the hands of the COR
poration, which was 5000, 600 gallons.
}. j. Hassell, the Secretary, says this
result has been achieved by the sale
OF the wine Of members at the ruling
market price, and at no cut and no sac
11f1ce whatever. The sla ming and
slaughtering predicted has not mate
I1aAzed, and within three or four weeks

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec, 24.-The vet

terms a twenty-year plan. The sug-

the Government might, within one year
after the adoption of such a plan. make
final settlement with every pensioner,
and be ready to go out of the pension
business permanently.
One Of the arguments put forth in
support of the suggestion is that by
adopting such a plan the Government

A Victim Of the Criminal Element on
Canyon Greek, Idaho.
Run Out Of Camp and Fired Upon by a Mob

Now Lies in a Hospital lowering
Between Life and Death-He In
CURED the Enmity of Workmen
by Discharging Many Employees
of the Mine.

WALLACE Qdaho), Dec. 24.-M. r.
Whitney, foreman Of the Helena-F Frisco
mills lies between life and death at
Providence Hospital, the latest outrage
of the criminal element that has caused
so much trouble on Canyon Creek
The story, as nearly correct as could
be got to-day, is that at about 8 O'Clock
last night, between ten and twenty
masked men, heavily armed, opened the
door where Whitney and Weimar, re-
spectively foreman of the concentration
and assayer of the Helena Frisco mine,
were rooming, promptly ordering Wei
mar to turn his face to the wall. He
only caught one glimpse of the party
and his companion cannot talk, so the
number is not known, no one else being
known to have seen them.
They took Whitney out and marched
him through Gem to near Fahey's sta
bic, near the lower end of town. What
occurred there is not known, but he pre-
sumably was ordered to head for Wal
lace, that being the customary prac-
tice. The mob then commenced firing,
parties in the vicinity estimating that
seventy-five shots We're fired altogeth-
er, but evidently mainly to frighten
either Whitney or the people in the
neighborhood, as only one shot struck
him. 1t passed through the right thigh
from behind.
He was left where he fell until later
a man coming up the track saw him
and reported in town that either a dead
or wounded man was near the lower end
of town.
Whitney had only been at the mine
short time, but was not liked by the
men. Together with Superintendent
Petty, he was supposed to represent the
foreign owners in the mine, and too
many discharges following their arrival,
an attempt was made to run him out,
with Petty. a few weeks ago.
