CANADIANS ARE BITTER.
Feel That They were Sacrificed In Hound
arg Settlement for Brltain's Relation
with United states.

Victoria, B. c., Oct. 21.-British CO.
lumbians have heard the news Of the
settlement Of the Alaskan boundary
question with feeling bordering or
disgust ut what is popularity termed the
sacrifice of Canada by Great Britain
on the alter Of political expediency.
The people of western Canada are bit
ter because of this, and the general
trend Of opinion seems to be that the
action of the British commissioners
has started a wave of popular opinion
which may be the opening wedge Of
the weaving Of Canada from the pa
triotic reliance upon the mother coun-
try which has marked the dominion
in the past. The action of the Cana
dian commissioners, Sir Louis Jetto
and Mr. Aylesworth, in refusing to
sign the agreement is approved. The
people feel that 1t is again "compro-
mise"-a diplomatic sentiment ar
ranged by the British diplomats and
acceded to by the British commissioner
for the sake of maintaining friendship
between Great Britain and the United
States.

and some of the passengers, was cap
sized as soon as 1t cleared the ships
side and when last seen was floating
away in the fog without living soul

about Is aboard succeeded in clearing,
but was also capsized and only seven

er. The Santa Fe expects to haul H.
900 carloads from California to the east,
which is 3,700 more cars than last sea-

WANT NEW REGIME.
In France Catholic Bishops Urge
Separation of Church and State.
Point to the United States, Where the
Church Is Independent of the Govern
ment and Receives More Liberal
Support Than In Europe.

Paris, Oct. 20.-Several of the French
bishops Of the Roman Catholic church
among them the bishop Of Arochelle,
have declared themselves in favor Of
the abolition Of the concordat and Of
the entire separation of the church and
state In France, without consulting the
vatican, because, IL for no other rea-
son, they would at least be free from
persecution on the part Of the govern
ment, which is pledged by the law to
extend the same protection to all re-
ligious denominations as is given in
the United States, where the independ-
ence of church and state has been a
great advantage to Roman Catholics
and the progress of religion. These
same prelates claim that the neces-
sary support for the churches and for
the maintenance Of the clergy will be
forthcoming from the zeal and de-
votion of the Frencs Catholics, once
it is known that no support whatever
Is to be expected from the government,
as has been the case all along in the
United States. However, 1t is feared
at the vatican that the laws to be pro-
posed for the consideration Of parlia-
ment may 60 too far and restrict that
liberty of worship that ought to be q
necessary consequence of an absolute
and boni fide separation between the
church and state.

beers to have secured the entire amount.
The robbers are believed to be near

Schmahl's Complaint.

The Redwood Falls Gazette has had
another fit. This time that paper rails
against the summer school that is to be
held in Mankato, and says ''the whole
plan is one tending to abolish the sum
mer schools heretofore held at the county
seats; that it is in the interest of these
towns; that it is done to build up the
big towns at the expense of the smaller
ones" The Gazette sounds note OF
warning. declaring that the educators OF
the state are likely to hear something
drop at the next session of the legisla-
ture.
Teachers, like other professional peo-
pie. always assemble where they can re-
ceive the most beneficial results for the
amount of money expended, and we dc
not know of a better place than Man
kato for these teachers to come to at
tend a summer school,
As The Gazette editor is on the in
side of legislative matters his "tip" to
the educators will no doubt be received
with some fear and trembling. How
ever, the summer school will be held
In Mankato this year of our Lord just
the same.
Probably The Gazette editor is not
aware of the fact that the people of Man
kato propose to pay portion of the
expense of the school to be held here
1t may be the gentleman at Redwood
will have the legislature look into this
feature while he is directing the move
ments of the lawmakers at their next
session.

Chamb erlain's POLICY.

According to Joseph Chamberlain
proposed policy the Britishers and the
Canadians win organize a plan of a re-
ciprocity in order to tear down Ameri-
cas- supremacy or domination. The
Right Honorable Joseph is looking for
the premiership of England and he is adj
vocating this policy with view to es-
tablishing a Friendly feeling, between
the people and himself 1t is said that
private cable had been received in
Boston which gives away the animus
OF Chamberlain's present attitude. That
gentleman has attempted to create the
impression among the subjects of the
king that America has grown fat of
his people. Now it is proposed that al
foodstuffs shall be bought of Canada
on the condition that Canada buys every
thing she needs from Great Britain. 1t i:
quite possible that Americans could do 8
little boycotting of English products anC
1T is not at all likely that Canada
would care to engender the ill-will O.
this country. Another thing, the British
