Geo. Gordon Martin, solicitor Chat- There hatThere has been no invasion of Manito- ham, on Saturday received a letter from ba's rights, and there will be no coer- cion. The Legislature of Manitoba has not the right to do as it likes in the matter of education. It has, by its own act, restricted its jurisdiction on that sub- ject. It has in the Federal compact agreed to give the denominational min. ority whether Protestant or Roman g, Catholic, certain rights as re„ardsedu cation. This the Manitoba Government and Legislature, knew or ought to have known, when the school law of 1890 was enacted, when they took from the Roman Catholic minority rights and privileges which they have enjoyed for nineteen years. The minority, as it had a perfect right to do, appealed from the act of 1890 to the Governor-Gener- al in Council. The Governor-General in Council, as was his duty to do, heard that appeal and,as he also had power to do under the constitution, found that it was well grounded. Then as the Con stitution directed him to do, he request- ed the Government of Manitoba to re- dress the grievance, and he afterwards submitted the Manitoba complaint to Parliament to be remedied, and sug- gested the remedy. Every step in the whole proceeding bas been taken strict- ly in accordance with the Constitution, as strictly and as regularly as any dis- pute between individuals is submitted to a court of law for decision. The is sue is a matter of contract, and however Parliament decides there is no coercion, np interference with the rights of the Province of Manitoba. It would haye been better, much better, as we have already said, for all concerned, if it had like many disputes between individu- als, been settled out cf court. But since it has been allowed to go to trial, it is most foolish and highly improper for either of the parties to complain of coer- cion or of undue interference. The Constitution creates and defines the rights of the province and the minority in this matter, and it points out the course to be pursued by the party ag- grieved. When therefore, everything has been done as the Constitution pre- scribes, as has been the case in this Manitoba matter, who is justified in complaining of coercion? a solicitor in Badenoch, in the Scottish Highlands, nunouncina the good news that he and his first cousin, the wife of Henry Rote, merchant, Blenheim, are heirs to an estate in Kingussie, valued at $3,000, through the death of a near kinswoman, the late Mrs. Jessie MeEd- wards Cameron. Sarah Ana Stewart, the 14 year-old girl, who was brutally outraged by half a dezen negroes some weeks ago, was brought into court at Windsor Thursday, and again remanded for a week in the hope that her assailants may be arrested by that time. Officers Masters, Jackson and Giles spent all night at Marshfield looking for them but failed. The negroes heard of their coming and cleated out. James Philpotts, a Brantford builder, was arrested on Saturday by Chief Randall, charged with killing Lizzie Griffinham, who was injured by a fall- ing wall. He was admitted to bail on giving $1,000 bonds himself and secur- ing two sureties of $500 each for his ap- pearance at the police court. Philpotts naturally feels very much cut up over the affair, and it will be a relief to him when the prosecution is over. On Saturday morning Detective Pal- mer and High arrested David Waugh a wood and coal dealer at 293 First Street, Detroit, and turned him over to Constable Waddes, of Kent county, Can- ada. The detectives assert that Waugh is wanted in Wallaceburg for the al- leged theft of 80 cords of hard wood from a n;an named Gorman. He waiv- ed his rights to extradition, and was brought to Canada early in the after- noon. One of the best, if not the best, freight runs on record with trains of the same number of cars, was made on the M. 0. R. Monday. The train which consisted of 80 loaded freight cars was drawn by engine 446, Engineer Beaufour, Con- ductor Morrison, made the run of 111 miles from St Thomas to Windsor in two hours and fifty minutes. It never made a stop, the engine scooping wa- ter from the trough like passenger en- gines. Chas. Dudley Fuller, the St. Thomas colored chimney sweep, came up for sentence before Judge Hughes Tuesday on the charge of criminally knowing an imbecile girl. He was allowed to go on suspended sentence, on condition that he left Canada within ten days. Dudley says he will go to St. Cathar- ines for a couple of days, and then to Baltimore, where he will remain and never come back.

Africa --Press Comments. London, April 2S—The leight Hon Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the Colonies, made a speech et the Constitutional -Club last night containing many interesting references to the politic- al situation. Mx. Chaimbelrain said -the whole policy of Lord Rosebery, the late Iaberal Premi- er, was a long record of unbroken fail- ure. "Yet he never loses a chance," Mr. Chamberlain said, "of sneering at his successor's efforts to preserve the peace and maintain the honor and interests of the h mpire. " With reference to the colonies Ma Chamberlain declared that there were two governing factors in the situation in South Africa Tho first was that Eng- land nest continue to be the paramnoum power, and would at all risks and costs resist any foreign interference The second was that owing to the peculiar situation, that the butch were likely for many years to be in the majority, it was •the duty of statesmen to do their utmost to maintain friendship bmeteen the Eng- lish and the Dutch The Dutch in Cape Colony, he said, were es loyal. as .were the French-Canadians, hut they sympa- thised with their kindred in the two neighboring republics. With reference to the situation in the Transvaal in regard to the Boersrefusing the common rights of citizenship to a majority of its population, Mr. Cham- berlain said that formerly the sympathies of the Dutch in South Africa, even the progressive Dutchmen of the Transvaal, were with the Intenders. Lately a re- vulsion of feeling had taken place, but he was confident he would ere long re- store the situation as it was before the invasion of the Transvaal. He intended, he asserted, to exhaust the resources of pfrsaa ion, argument, and negotiation to attain that object. The llatebele rising, he pointed out, was a separate affair. • The Government but wall alive to its gravity, they believed the local forces would be able to suppress it, and they therefore did not intend, unless in aim unexpected emer- gency, to send a large detachment of the British army to South Africa. British troops were unsuited for such warfare. In conclusion, the Colonial Secretary appealed to the country to show calmness and reserve in the presence of difficulty and danger. An editorial in the Times applauds Mr. Chamberlain's bold speech, but considers that, apart from any intervention in Mate beleland, the British forces at the Cape ought to be considerably reinforced to provide against contingencies. The Standard also thinks that Mr. Chamberlain is optimistic in the view he takes of the South African situation.

Attempt to Wreck a Train at Niai;are Fans --Tho effort Failed. Niagara Falls, Ont., April 22—A dast- ardly attempt was made about midnight last night to wreck freight trains on the M. C. R. transfer, between Suspension Bridge and Montrose. The spot picked out was- on the curve between Simncoe street and Bender avenue, -where two ties were placed across the rails, and a third at right angles with the two on the east bound track. At least sit or seven men 'were in the job. A wept train pulled off the bridge, with Engineman Morrison and Conduo- tar Kenny in charge, suddenly came to a stop near the curve. Upon examination it was found that some one had set the air brakes on several of the freight cars by disconnecting the air pipes When this was remedied and astartattempted,it was found that several pins had been drawn from. the couplers and thrown away In the meantime au east bound train from Montrose cisme along the east bound track, with Engineman Huston and Con- ductor Riley in charge, and struck the obstruction The engine being what is known as a Hog, without - pilot, having steps both in front and rear for switching purposes, ran up on the ties, and skid- ded them along the rails without much damage. Assistance was sent for to Montrose, the cars coupled, and sent on to their respective destinations. The train hands noticed some half-dozen men skinning off in different directions through the Deeds and Wesley park, but could not discover them hr the darkness. What their object in view in attempting to wreck the trains was, it is hard to say. How to Dress the Youngsters Well. Diamond Dyes Keep the Children in New Clothes. Little money is needed to keep the children well and handsomely dressed.

Father's suits and mother's dresses can be taken to pieces, re dyed, kind made over for the boys and girls at a very small expense.

CANADIAN CATTLE. Deputation of English Farmers Wait on Mr. Walter Long --fie Will Not Consent to Withhold the Cattle Disease Bill, London, April 23—A deputation of farmers and graziers from Norfolk and Suffolk waited. upon Mr. Walter Long, President of the Board of Agriculture, to -day, to urge the Government to aband- on the Cattle Diseases' bill, which aims to regulate the importation of cattle from Canada. The deputation contended that there is no disease in Canadian cattle, and no risk in their importation. Mr. Long's reply was unpromising. He said it was useless to send a comm - mission to • Canada. The question was not whether disease existed, but the char- acter of it. The Governmenthad rea- son to believe that British breedere were already taking steps to meet extra de- mands. The Government had acted in the interests of the, farmers generally. ARMENIAN TROUBLES. The Charge Against the Nev. Mr. Knapp-- Tlre New Governor of Zeitoun.

KRUGER'S REPLY. Mr. Chamberlain's Invitation to Visit Eng- land Diplomatically defused --Tho Boer Statesman sProposals. we London, April -The Times will to- morrow publish ta. despatch from Prae- toria which says that President Kruger's reply declining to visit England to dis- cuss Transvaal matters is a diplomatic masterpiece. It declares that the Trans - veal, Government will not discuss reforms with the British Government on the ground that Great Britain admittedly cannot interfere with the internal admin- istration of the republic. Nevertheless private suggestions from the British Gov - eminent will always be considered. The President adds that if the revision of the convention of 1S84 and the superseding thereof by a treaty of amity and com- merce containing a "most -favored -nation" clause cannot be discussed unless the alleged grievances of the Uitlanders are also discussed, the Transvaal would pre- fer to leave matters as they are and to merely demand the payment of an in- demnity for Dr. Jameson's raid. He in- timates that Great Britain can facilitate his going to London by accepting the basis of discussion he has already pro- posed. The President frankly admits that the Transvaal Admninistratio'n, is capable of improvement'aud that the Government is not always right. He concludes by laying stress on the patience and forbearance that have been displayed by both sides, .and expresses the hope that wounded feelings will be healed and friendly re- lations restored.. The Telegraph will to -morrow publish a despatch from Praetoria saying it is re- ported that the arrangement under which certain of the members of the Johannes - berg Reform Committee pleaded guilty - of treason and others of lose majesto to - weeds the State provides for the infliction of a nominal fine on sixty odd, members of the committee. The five leaders will be accorded severer • treatment, but their punishment will not exceed a heavy fine and a short term of imprisonment.
