IN GENERAL

The Manitoba Legislature has voted to refuse to re-establish separate schools. Nearly one hundred buildings were burned at Tottenham, Ont., Tuesday. Loss, $150,000. have been issued from the Canadian marine department ordering the release of the tugs and scows seized on the Niagara river while dumping dredgings in Canadian waters. All the expenses incurred, however, must be paid before the vessels are released. This means a fine of about S2OO against the owners, in addition to the penalties exacted from the men arrested. * F.
