§ MR. WILLIAM JOHNSTON (Belfast, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that the recent settlement of the education question in Manitoba, after having been approved of by the great majority of the Roman Catholics, and accepted as a satisfactory compromise by the Protestants, has been denounced by Archbishop Langevin and the Romish Hierarchy; and that those persons who vote against the commands of the Roman Catholic priests are to be refused burial in consecrated ground after their death; and, whether he can give any information concerning this matter, and will lay upon the Table of the House a copy of the settlement arrived at by Mr. Laurier, the Canadian Premier, and Mr. Greenway, the Prime Minister of Manitoba?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN,) Birmingham, W.I have no official information on this matter, which relates entirely to the domestic politics of Canada.
