To -day the Domit.tion Parlian en an be opened with all due ceremony. aj • His Excellency the Governor Get. sari; and it will probably prove to be she most exciting session ever held at Ottawa. Among the important topics to be discussed will be the celebrated ltianitoba School Question, on which so much undue excitement has arisen ow - :ng to the distinctions of race and creed,. Thele is little doubt, whatever the fin- al result may be, that the Parliament of Canada will endorse the recent ac- tion of the Federal Government in transmitting the decision of the Imper `sal Privy Council—which substantially admitted that a grievance existed which should be remedied in the inter gists of the R. C. Minority. The Feder- al government, after services and pro- onged deliberation, acted upon the auggestiun thrown out by the British Privy Council which was to relega;e the whole matter for amendment to the Manitoba government and Legislature It would seem that Mr. Greenway and his advisers have threatened to oppose ()()medial legistatioa—if so, it would prolong the agony and intensify the religious and racial animosity already too prevalent in the Dominion, There s no desire on the part of the Federal Government to dictate to Manitoba or '_o interfere with Provincial autonomy; but surely as royal subjects we should be prepared to carry out constitutiona 1 law, and to submit to the decision of the highest court of the British realm We sincerely hope that the issue reach, ed may prove to be satisfactory to all parties concerned, and thus secure peace and harmony in our great and growing Dominion.

The cors Capt S. Stuart and Cap decided to drop the prosecution of the woman in Canada and have begun ex- tradition proceedings before Judge Muir, the county juttge. In the extradition proceedings Mrs. Mack is charged with having in Buffalo on April ii, knowingly uttered 38,000 stamps at the office of the Wells -Fargo Express Company. In an interview with Mrs. Mack, previous to her arrest, she admitted having gone to Buffalo two days after being engaged by Morrison and there mether employer. She received several parcels from hies on her arrival and expressed them at the Wells -Fargo office an Buffalo, On being shown a package addressed to Edward Lowry, 121 Ashland Block, Chicago, she acknowl- edged having addressed and expressed it and it was upon this ()barge the proceed- ings were taken. The Aznericaau officers now profess to know who Airs. Mack is, having obtained positive information from the United States authorities, and it is because of these facts they wish to take her to the United States for trial. The officers will not divulge her name, but it is said she is an old criminal. Inspector of Detectives McMahon gave important evidence relating to his inter- view with the prisoner, in which she admitted writing a letter pertaining to the shipment of stamps- to Edward Lowry, M. Herzog and J. H. Verral of the Washburn and Morgan Manufactur- ing Co., all of Chicago. After hearing some evidence Judge Muir remanded the prisoner to jail for eight days. The United States detectives say they are not over anxious whether the ex- tradition proceedings are successful or not as they know the woman's nature and are sure she would soon drift back to the States again, being unable to live in a quiet Canadian city, A well dressed stranger has been inter- esting himself in Mrs, Mack lately and was an interested spectator at the pro- ceedings in court. He was not recognized by Mrs. Mack and none of the detectives knew hire. He has tried to obtain an interview with the woman several times, but has been refused admission to the jail.

Farr to cremate bis wife and child- ren, by setting fire to the house, in order that he might go off with a dressmaker named Robertson, with whom he was keep- ing company, and whom he led to believe ho was single. It now transpires that he recently increased the amount of insur- ance on his house, so as to have enough money to be off with the Robertson girl. About 3 o'clock yesterday mornzngFarr escaped from his cell in the Central Police Station, and, although the police have been scouring the city and surrounding coun- try, he has not been caught.

Ottawa, April 16.—It is reported in political circles that Lieut. -Governor Schultz, of Manitoba, is desirous of get- ting another term of the Lieut. -Governor- ship and that he will lay the matter before the Government prior to his going back to Winnipeg. Meantime he is re- maining in office until the other appoint- ment is made, but if he were re -appointed then he would have the position for another term of five years. But it is not likely that the Government will do this since Mr. Patterson bas been assured that he will get the office as soon as it is ex- pedient to have an election in West Huron. A Quebec Man Mysteriously Disappears. Montreal, April 16.—Considerable .anx- iety is caused among the friends of J. L. Rothley, secretary -treasurer of the Stand- ard Drain Pipe Company of St. John's, Qua, by his continued and mysterious absence. He came to Monteral a week ago last Saturday with some friends, whom he left about eight o'clock in the evening, and after that disappeared.

Sifton and Grand. Chap- lain Finn, of Manitoba, had'. no sooner :appeared on the scene of strife to make the appeal 'for that. provinoa when the Condi shyer brought up (neo. G. Foster, a Montreal lawyer, to speak for the minority of Quebec. He and Mr, Sifton met here. Air. Foster declared that if the minority in Manitoba were not given noparato schools. the minority in Quebeo might stiffer as a consequence, "We have rights," he said, "as -well as Manitoba, and wo are going to stand Lip for thele." Mr. Sifton replied, showing that the minority in Quebeo were protected by the rea:ment with Ontario.embodied in the 13ritish North America Act by which Separate schools worn guaranteed tco both, lie objected now to Quebec coming for- ward and demanding that the shackles should also be putt on Manitoba or the Protestants of the former would be made to suffer. Touching on the general question of Manitoba's schools, Mr. Sifton said: "In looking over newspapers I find that Dr. Montague, the Government candi- date, says that the law compelled the Government to make the order which they have wade, and that they only carried out the law. I find that Mr. Ouimet. says the law did not compel them to do it at all, but they diel it because they loved the Catholic people so much, and they wanted to assist them .out of the difficulty." After reading the remedial order Mr. Sifton said: "That is the order they made, and if Dr. Montague thinks it is a suggestion, all I have to say is that I do not agree with him. It is a solemn con- stitutional act, it is an order made by the Governor -General -in -council." Notes on the Contest. The familiar face of Thos. Mitchell, of tho Customs, Toronto, is to be seen around Cayuga. As a result of the compact between cer- tain Liberals and Conservatives to defeat Patron Senn recently, several Reformers around Fssherville and Selkirk are sup- porting Dr. Montague. A brother of lvillfaain Patteson, M.P. for Brant, is said to be the leader of them, and his action is creating much talk among the party in the riding. Among those who are assisting McCar- thy aro J. M. Godfrey, Alfred Richard- son, John Hewitt, E. C. Hoskin, John Brown, David Crothers, of Toronto, A. A. Hugheson, of Orangeville, Layton McCarthy, G. F. Scott, James Goiuld, (Parkdale) and Geo. Fee, Organizer Robert Birmingham has done good work for Montague. His head- quarters are at Hagersville. "What surprises me is the large silent vote there is here," said Barrister A. T. Hunter. "About every second man you meet tells you privately he's with you, but to keep it quiet, because he doesn't want people to know he has turned." John Hewitt, who has done splendid work for McCarthy among the Orangemen of Seneca, returned yesterday morning. His visit was worth many votes. OTTAWA NOTES.

The principal reason for this theory is that she was a member of .Emanuel Chinch and fre- quently attended there. She was known to have been in the company of a man who attended the church with her and it was at first thought she had eloped, It is now thought that Durant was the man and that he killed her also. There aro reasons for thinking that Durant also murdered Eugene Ware, a young' drug clerk, who was murdered a few mouths ago, Ware and Durant wore close acquaintances and Durant frequent- lyvisited him s ted at the pharmacy. He was seen with Ware on the night of the mur- der. ' As a motive, it is said that Durant was jealous of Ware on account of his attentions to a girl. Ware was stabbed eighteen times with a double-edged dirk. The"only person who was allowed to see Durant yesterday was his father, who remained in the cell with him for nearly an hour. After the departure of the father Detective Edward Gibson had a long talk with the prisoner, but the in- terview did not result in adding anything to the information now in the possession of the authorities. An examination of the clothing of Miss Lamont gave unmis- takeable evidence that a struggle had preceded the commission of the ninrders, though no wound was found upon the body, death having been caused by Tho police claim to have con- clusive evidence that outrage preceded the murder. The police are fully satis- fied that the evidence now in hand fixes the responsibility of the crimes upon Durant. It is said at police headquarters that it is by no means certain that Dur- ant did not have an accomplice. Detec- tives have not yet succeeded in securing evidence to substantiate the theory of an accomplice, but they are working upon several clues. The thocry seems to be based upon the apparent impossibility of a man of Durant's physique being able to carry Miss Lamont's body up too the belfry. Chief Crowley says that unless it can be shown that Miss Lamont went voluntarily into the belfry the chances are that Durant had an accomplice in the murder. The chief says that there is little if any evidence to show that the body was dragged up stairs. He thinks it must have been carried up, a feat that would have been difficult for Durant to have accomplished. Durant, who is form- ally charged with the murder of the Wil- liams girl, when seen in his cell said that he had been advised to make no further public statement 'until the preliminary examination. "I am innocent of the death of the girls," he said, "and hope to be able to prove that faFt. " Coroner Hawkins will hold a inquest an the body of Minnie Williams to -day. It will be a dual investigation, as the police will put in their evidence in regard to the murder of both girls. PERISHED IN THE FLAMES. Four Canadians ]turned to Death in North Dakota. Fargo, N.D., April 16.—The burning of a small dwelling five miles north .of Fargo was accompanied by the loss of four lives. Tho family of Robert Houghton, who came from Canada a year ago, was sleep- ing soundly when the fire broke out. Four grown children jumped from an upper window in scant clothing and es- caped with only a few bruises, Hough- ton's wife and three children, aged 6, 8 and 10 years were burned to death. Houghton made a desperate effort to save thein and was himself seriously injured. Cooked in OToulten Iron. Phillipsburg, N.J. , April 16.—Chas. Shinsteiu, a moulder at the Warren Pipe Foundry, met a horrible death yesterday afternoon. He was assisting in the cast- ing of a large piece, and just as the molten iron was poured into the pit he lost his balance and fell in on it. His fellow -workmen made haste to pull him out, but by the time they extricated him the poor fellow's hands and feet were burned off, his eyes. burned out and all his clothing burned from his body. He $ivedin fearful agonyfor'ten hours, when. death came to his relief. Shinstein was 25 years old and unmarried. Striking Miners Create Trouble. Dos Moines, Ta., April 16.—The coal mining situation at Cincinnati is grow- ing alarming. The striking minors con- gregated there say they will get the mon at work out at all hazards.

It is understood the miners have Winchesters and dynamite bombs at Forbush. Endorses the Action of the Government. Montreal, April 16.—Considerable ex- citement has been caused in political circles here by the publication of a cir- cular letter from Mgr. Fabre, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Montreal, endors- ing the action of the Dominion Govern- ment in the Manitoba School question. The letter is regarded as an endorsation of the Conservative candidate in Ver - chores and the Liberals are very much incensed, Three Months for Forgery. Are Purely Vegetable, Hamilton, April 16.—N.
