ST. PAUL , Mlmmn. , March 2&-A WInnipeg ,
Man" , special to the Pioneer-Press s's : The
frt step In tIme renewed fght over parochial
schools In Ianltha began In tIme legislature -
ture this afernoon , won time full mcssage
was presented from time Dominion govern-
mont at Ottawa , ordering the : llnloba leg-
Islatnro to give the Catholics their rights
as they existed before the abolition of parochial -
rochial schools In 1890. The reading of the
Ottawa message : occupIed over an hour , and
all verbIage removed , It amounts to time rc-
quest as above stated : I. larln , a
I rench.Catholc member of tIme legislature ,
urged that the govrment shoull take 1m.
mediate action , but Premier GI'ecU\'ay IJro-
tested , saying time messnge should be IJrlnlel1
In order that all members might Imow what
they were dealng with. Hero time maier
rested and the discussion will now probably
not take place till Thursda ) Meanwhile
LImo sltualon grows moro commiphlcated.
The Catholics and their frlemls say that
Oreenway and his followers , If they reject
the order from Ottawa , are rejeclng a document -
ument ordered and slgnell by her maJest ,
time queen . amid such act wouhl be equivalent
to open rebellion . They say the ) ' c1nnot
conceive hol tIme Dominion overnment ' I
could do otherwise than mal < time formal
reqttast they have made , as they were bound , !
so far as lay In Ihelr power , to take Immediate -
diate action upon time decision of the highest
court , and see that the grievances of her
majesty's subjects of time Homan Catholc
faih In Manitoba received redress at the
earliest possible momenl.
The Oreenway government contends on
the other hand that the IJresent school law
Is satisfactory to many Catholcs Ir It were
not for the agitation by the prIests of time
church. They say that /anloba Is
coerced Into recreating a dual system , dunl-
Ism both In language and education will be
extended to the territories as well , and thus
there will be IJerotualed In the west the
evils which have caused dissatisfaction nnd
stagnation In the older province Amen !
the members on time government side tonight -
night It seems to be a mnter ot opinion
that the remedial order will be disposed or
during the coming weel , ' and wlhout any
great amount of speaking Premier Green-
way , when speaking on the mmmattcr . said the
length of the discussion would depend upon
the amouft Indlvldu'l members wanted to
talk Premier Greenway denies that he will
compromise the maier by Introducing a bill
making time schools entirely secular.
CAUSED NO SURPRISE AT OTTAWA
OTTAWA , Oat. , March 2G.-'rhe news from
Winnipeg that Premier Greenway has declared
that "time gvernor general's order wi be
rejected In its entirety ( meaning the order to
grant remedial legislation to the Catholics In
the mater ot separIte selmools ) 'whie not un-
cxected , has created great exclement In om-
'lat circles. I'ls admlte" tluit the situlloq
Is pregnant with erllc:1 possibilIties : and timat
much depends upon the acton of time DomInIon -
Ion government. I Is , of course , possible that
the Manitoba legislature may shelve the ques-
ton for a year , as time federal Parliament
has no jurldlclon tl time province acts or
refuses 10 act on the order. But this seems
hardly likely to happen , judging from time
reports ot the feeling among the majority of
the people of Manitoba. ,
Assuming then that the order In council of
the Dominion government , Is ignored , what
will be the steps taken by the government to
enforce its commands ? This questIon may
b determined by the outcome of two bye-
elections , one In Quebec and time other In On-
larlo which arc shortly to be held
VerchEres , an old "rouge" ( liberal ) district -
trict In Quebec , Is vacant The goverment
will bring on , an election thcre , and If the
conservative candidate Is returned the govern-
ment will bo encouraged to Introduce a bill
In Parliament st the coming session re-estab-
Ishlng the Catholc parochial school system
In ManItoba.
The other vacancy Is In Ialemlan , which
vent conservative by a small majorIty at the
last election . Shoul the result of the con-
lest show , as I Is expected , large liberal
gains , It will bo evident that what the government -
erment has gained In the French and Cath-
die constituencIes , I has lost In the English
and Protestant districts , and the government
will have to choose between the
wl two or en-
dcavor to appease both \y some Intermediate
course.
The Drltsh North AmerIcan act Is an elas-
tic affair , and It will be a dllcul - matter for
the government to decide thot I has or that
It has not the right to interfere In the educa-
tonal legislation of the provinces. I If should
decide to Interfere It Is probable that the IC-
ton would make the political division of Can-
ada 'coincidefit wIth Its great religious division
or would lead to' a series of appeals to the
courts , the end \ ot which can scarcely be fore-
seems
So far the acton or the government has
resulted In stirring up a feelng In OntarIo
very hosle to itseif , while In Quebec It has
hall a directly contrary effect. None of the I
party organs In Ontario dare to commi them- .
selves to any definite statement as to the
course to be pursued toward Manitoba. The
liberal papers , naturaly , their party being In
opposition , are delighted at the trouble , and
devcte many columns to reports of all news
bearing on the school , questIon , whie time gov-
erment organs , to give one example , yesterdAY -
dAY gave a notice In four or five lines of time
arrival ot the order of council at Winnipeg
BuL the Independent journals wIthout ex-
cepton cry out against any IntrrferencQ by
time Dominion In time school acalrs of the
province. Their cry Is "hands oil , " amid there
Is no doubt as to that being the sentment of
the great majoriy of Protcstants.
EXCITEMENT IS ILEAL.
MONTREAL , Iareh 20.-The excItement
In Quebec over time school , Iueston Is none
the less real because I Is In a meaturo subdUed -
dUed for time tIne hong. I Is not
yet known what wi be the acton
ot the DomInion goVernment In the
event of a refusal of Manltuba to grant
roredlal legislation to the Catholics , and
untIl It Is known there will ho mme great
public outburst , The tone of time rench
prel , however , distncty Indicates what
will happen If the Oranges , as they term
them , triumph. Considerable additional
feeling among the French Catholcs has been
created by n paper read tOllay before the
Irotestant 1lnlterlal association uy
