New Phase of School Question.

Ottawa, Ont., March 10.—The Manitoba school question assumed a new and interesting phase when Sir- Charles. Tupper announced that “in view of the assurances that the government of Manitoba is willing to have a conference the dominion government proposes, so soon as the second reading of the remedial bill is carried, to have a conference with Mr. Greenway’s government, with the view of arriving at a settlement of this question on terms that will be satisfactory to his government and the minority of Manitoba, and in the meantime to proceed with the question before the house as previously arranged.” The statement was regarded as the government’s first retrogressive step since entering upon its coercive policy.
