Lumbermen in the Saginaw valley
are jubilant over the action of the
Canadian government in fixing the
export duty on logs at So, as they
deem it certain that this action will
greatly stimulate the numbering bus
mess in that section for Is or 20
years to come. Some of the largest
tracts of pine on the Canadian shore
are owned by Michigan lumbermen,
but the export duties were so high
and the facilities for manufacturing
so inferior that their possessions
were comparatively valueless; but
with the tariff reduced and the plob-
lem of rafting long distances solved,
it is expected that Michigan milling
interests will revive, and other lines
of business will be correspondingly
benefited. This is particularly true
of some of the lumber towns on the
east shore, but that it will materially
benefit the state at large, or cause a
reduction in lumber prices, is not
yet proved.

Strange Marital Customs OF n Little Afrlc-
an Colony on the Congo.

With the Kabinda the bride and
groom Immediately after marriage are
locked in hut which must never have
kept close prisoners for three months,
except that at every midnight the old
men Of the town take the groom and
the old women the bride and escort
them to the 'fetich man." to whom
they appeal for children. During this
time, however, they are well supplied
with both food and drink. At the end
OF the three months great feast Is
held, when the prisoners are released
and the hut where they had been con-
fined is burned, and thus their honey
moon is brought to an end
The ceremony of marriage among
these people is conducted by the differ
ent tribes in manner that is common
to them all.
When a native wants wife, il there
Is none in his own town to suit him, he
sends to some neighboring chief ask
Ing If there is girl in his town of the
hSO uCoii Cbs IL VIC StHoh ID Al tilC
Affirmative, he then presents his case
to the old men of his town, and after
a ''palaver, or talk, at which there is
the drinking Of much rum, they agree
that he may bring home as wife a
woman from another town.
After securing this permission he,
with presents in his hands for the
Precipitation of the spirit powers, visits
the head 'fetich man." and, after
listening to his many prayers, receives
charm. He is then ready to seek his
bride.
In the meantime the women Of his
town-maids, wives and widows-hav-
ing been advised of his intention and
being incensed by this sighting them
in selecting stranger, are prepared,
as they are allowed by their laws to
do. to prevent his leaving until their
charms have been admitted and their
Indignation allayed by many presents.
The custom. despite every precaution
of the man. often ends in disputes
which are settled only by an appeal to
the "fetich man" and "sussiwood."
However, having overcome the diff
fculties of his departure, he arrives at
and is received in his prospective
brides town by the old men of the
place and by them conducted to the
'palaver house," where there is more
talk and more rum. The presents he
has brought having been found ac-
ceptable, he is then allowed TO know
the parents of the girl he is seeking,
and from them learns the sum in
beads, rum, cloth, ETC., he has to pay
before he can secure her. This usual
ly represents in value about ten doll
lars. This matter having been
satisfactorily settled, he returns
to his town and forwards the
goods as agreed upon. At the
setting or the sun on the day
appointed for the closing of the con-
tract the bride, naked except for being
painted with different colored chalks.
accompanied by her parents and
friends, arrives at the home Of the
groom. There they are received with
much rejoicing, gun-fring, drum-beat-
ing, dancing and feasting. This is
continued until both man and woman
are exhausted by their orgies, when
they are bundled into the hut TO re-
main for the customary time. Cor. N.

An Ocean Steamer Disaster,

The Inman line steamer City of Chester,
Capt. Bond, from New York April 2 for
Liverpool, arrived ut Queenstown, April II.
She reports that on April 8 in latitude 46
north, longitude 81 west, she passed the
Danish steamer Danmark, from Christiania
and Copenhagen, for New York. The Dan.
mark had been abandoned by her crew. Her
stern a level with the sea and her bow
stood high out of the water. She was ap-
parently sinking. The Danmark was O ves-
sci OF 1920 tons and belonged to the Thing
valla line. The Danmark had on board
when she left Christiansend for New
York March 26, $50 passengers, presumably
all immigrants. Including the vessels cap
tain. r. NJ. Knudsen, the crew numbered
forty men the Office of the agents of the
steamer, Funch, Edge & Co., No. 81
South William street, New York has been
thronged with people all the morning anx-
iously inquiring for later news OF the vessel.
Mr.. Edge, of the firm, does not credit the re-
port. He has cabled his London agents and
sought by wire for further particulars from
the Copenhagen branch of the firm.
The following letter has been sent out by
the agents of the Thingvalla steamship line:
As some of the comments on the reported
loss of the Danish steamer Dnnmark express
the apprehension that this disaster may
have been accompanied by heavy loss Of life.
we beg leave to state, tor the benefit OF all
persons who have friends on the ill .fated boat,
our belief to the contrary. When sighted by
the City of Chester in latitude 1885 north,
longitude, 37.16 west the decks aft and the
sails were in pieces, but the vessel was float
ing, and although the reporting steamer ex-
pressed the belief that she would shortly
founder, this did not occur during all the
time chat elapsed from the hour she was first
sighted until lost sightof. The Danmark was
floating directly in the track of the transat-
lantic steamers, n we believe, beyond per.
adventure, that the passengers n crew we're
taken off some time, possibly as far back as
q couple of days, before the City of Chester
sighted the wreck, since the Danmark, hav-
ing left Christansand on the Goth of March,
should under ordinary circumstances have
advanced considerably beyond the position
found. If the wrecked passengers land crew
had not been picked up they would naturally,
even if embarked in boats and on RATS have
remained in the neighborhood fthc wreck,
the presence of which would be much more
likely to attract the passing steamers than
small boats or RATS would. The City OF
Chester evidently did not find the slightest
wreckage nearthe vessel, such as might be at
tributable to smashed or otherwise i%ncapaci-
tated boats, while the steamer bore no sign
whatever of human life. We confidently be-
lieve, there ore, that. with the possible ex-
ception of single casualties, such as may oc.
cur during the transfer of SO many people
from one vessel to another, the passengers
and crew of the Danmark are sac and will
ere long be heard Of as on board of one of the
transatlantic steamers.

B0ulanger on Trial.

When the French senate met on Friday the
president read the decree constituting that
body a tribunal for the trial Of Gen. Boulan-
ger, Count Dillon and M. Rochefort. The
procureur general, Quesnay de Beaurrenair,
then read a statement setting forth the
grounds upon which the constitution o: the
accused is based. When the reading was con-
Guided, the senate went into executive ses-
sion and the public withdrew. The trial Of
Gen. Boulanger and his associates was then
formally begun. The senator's had been re.
quested to appear in evening dress for the
occasion, The request was ignored by
the members OF the right, oil of whom
wore frock coats The members of

commissioners are: Senators Garrigat,
Dusolier, Develle, De Roziere and Testelin.
Senator Delbreil will not attend the trial.
He holds that q political body like the senate
has no right to try q delegate of the people.
He declares that the trial is a revolutionary
measure and a defiance Of universal suffrage.
Senator Leon Renault will also abstain from
participation in the trial. .Amotion from the
Right. declaring there was no ground for
ajudicial inquiry into heconduct Of Boulan-
ger, was rejected byaa vote Of 200 TO So. The
Senate then resolved, by q vote Of 80 to
SIS, to proceed immediately with his trial.
Thereupon the doors were reopered and the
public WIS resumed: NJ. Leroyer read the
decree authorizing the senate to set has q
