NOT SETTLED Mgr. Langevin Still Has High Hopes entrain. IS MORE TO DO GREATER CONCESSIONS MADE TO MANITOBA CATHOLICS In The Way of Schools--He Says the Other Prelates so Agreed at a Conference With Mgr. Fal- conio. Montreal, Nov. --"The school question in Manitoba is not settled. It will be settled only when right will be done, and 1 say so after con- ferring with the bishops of Canada at the conference held with Mgr. Fal » Such was the statement made by Mgr. Langevin, Archbishop of St. Boniface, who has left for the west. "Such a right was promised to the Catholics of the province in 1870 by the imperial authorities. While it is true, that we enjoy a certain degree of telerance, we will not stop till we have legal recognition of our rights. We are more hopeful than ever at the present time, because the principle of religious "education, of denominaticn- al education, has received lately a new and more emphatic endorsation in the very heart of the powerful British empire, England. We have every reas- on to believe that the influence of Edward: VII, our noble king, has been felt in this circumstance. We, however, appreciate the increasing good-will of the best thinking men. In the end, every true British subject will realize that what is cood for England, good for Quebec, should be good also for Manitoba." ~ IS NOT INVOLVED. Senator Cox is Not Interested in Company. Toronto, Nov. 28.--It is stated on the best of authority that Senator Cox is not imvolved or interested in the financial affairs of the Canadian Northern railway. William Mackenzie suid yesterday: "The Canadian Nor thern is a great factor, is doing busi ness, is building westward rapidly, is in good financial shape, and can' com- mand all the money it wants from half a dozen quarters, and is making' no proposals to amy one looking toward a merger. And yet some one would like to ®ngineer it." Methodist circles are interested in the announcement that Rev. F. A! Cassidy is returning to Japan. Six or seven years ago he was recal'ed as a missionary owing to his being in volved with others in a dispute with the Women's" Mis.ionary Scoiety's re- presentatives. He is now going back on his own responsibility, with the intention of supporting himseli and "doing evangelistic work on the side. He says it is custom in Japan for mi-sionaries to engage in secular work and endeavor to Christianize the peo- ple in an indirect SIEY; "When in Japan before," he "ex- plaivs, "I had a contract, most of the timé, with the government as teacher in the Shizouka High School. Ih that position F-earned- a substan- tial salary, which," for three years, went into 'the mission treasury; and after that time was devoted to build- ine a school and helping to build churches. "The contract «n which' I am now entering is of a different character, being the erintendency of an ance agency in Tokyo...

My missionary work shall be a voluntary ofiering to the church, wkether it be considered large or small)" Mr. Cassidy. desires to retain con nection with the Hamilton conference. He says it mav he better not to hold any oilicial to the Japan church, as t! often the source of perplexity Toronto Horse Market.

Danbury, Conn., Nov. 2% The ac: tion broucht by Arthur WW Tappan, of this city, for absolute divorce from his wi Maud Benedict Tappan, = has been dismissed by Judge Robinson in the superior court. It was based. on Tappan's declaration that his wife had heen guilty of intolerable eruelty towards him. The Tappans are pro- minent here, and Mrs, Tappan, who before her marriage was Maud Bene dict, daughter of a well known busis ness man, was one of the handsomest young women in the city. On the witness stand she denied the story of her physical prowess related | by her husband, according to whom she has the strength of an athlete and by contagions diskase known { . in New | a punishing ability that would do credit to a prize fighter. : Married in 18920 Tappan declared that two months afterwards his wife struck "him in the face, cutting his hip.

New York, Nov. 283.--The London : The German chancellor has succeeded 4n bringing about a compromise in the tari Lill, 'by which the government wii pe en- al led to open negotiations next year for a prolongation of commercial trea- ties, with slight modifications. A ma- has *heen secured through the coalition of centralists and the moder. ate men among the national liberals and conservatives. This vesult is mainly die to the obstruction tactics oi the socialists, by whi h the reich- stag has been united in self-defence. The goiermmert proposals, respecting grain and cattle, will now be carried and, unkss all signs fail, the agratirns will be «compelled to be content with. half measures of pro- te tion. The <icular which Morgan & Co. have issued to the shareholders of the steamship companies to be alsorbed in. the Atlantic combine, offering bonds instead of goll in payment for their shares, has caused a gréat deal of discussion. An authoritative' denial is given, to-day, to the London Mail's insinuation that Morgan is finding some difficulty in obtaining gold ne- cessary to make cash payments. Sir Clinton Daw! ius states the reason why the oliér was made was because some of the shareholders, who are going to receive cash and who are investors accustomed to shipping securities, ex- pressed a desire to have an oppdrtu- nity of rdinvesting the cash after they had recive! it in the mortgage honds of the new company. The Mail, whith seizes every opportunity of at- taking Fierpont Morgan and con- demning Ris" «hemes, now says : "These are certainly very simple share- holders and atl that we can say is that they do not know the meaning of the word 'husiness," if they thus press their money upon the Mes Morgan."

Bristol, Vt., Nov. --News of the insane act of Mrs. Ray Stokes, Starkesboro, a secluded town, in com- mitting suicide on Tuesday, after hav- ing attempted to poison her three small children, has reached here.
