FEARS CIVIL WAR.

Manitoba Will U tterly Resist the Remedial Measure. Ottawa, Ont., Feb. 12. —The introduction of the remedial bill in parliament has caused the wildest excitement in Manitoba, the province most directly interested by the passage of the measure. Seditious muterings are heard and ominous threats are conveyed to the dominion government, that the bill upon its passage, or the endeavor to enforce it after its passage, will be bitterly resisted by the protestants of Manitoba. The Greenway government openly announces that any attempt to coerce Manitoba into submission will bring on serious trouble. Rebellion is likely to follow.and a civil war is a possibility. The conservatives of Manitoba, fearing a race and creed war following the passage of the bill, which restores parochial schools to Roman Catholics, have gone so far as to warn the dominion government to consider the consequences of hasty action in the matter.
