THE YrKoS SPIRIT.

Just what spirit 4 is that causes men
now at the mouth Of the Yukon 70 insist
upon going up the river a,ooo miles TO the
locality where that fli-omened bird. Pam

for winters conquest. Is hard TO under
stand al this distance from the field OF ex-
element; but the most reliable authorities
agree that such is the case. This is not
due to ignorance among the gold seekers
Of the reports in circulation. and Is the
more tncomprehen<fble when Il is Turner
considered that these men are not only
without supplies. There can be but one
inference drawn from the case. and THAI
Is the new gold seekers doubt the sincerity
OF purpose OF the parties giving them the
Information. and they propose to irvessi-
gate for themselves. They see men laden
with bags Of gold VINO insist they should
turn around and refrain from entering the
land of nuggets; they hear the cry OF
warning. but they are increduIcus.
These defiant people are. as a rule. men

accepted them, and would now go ahead
though the heavens fell There Is little to
be feared as TO the fate of such men.
There may be a famine. hundreds Of men
may perish, but the names Of men like
those now going up the Yukon will hardly
be among the list of unfortunates. They
possess too much grit. push. enterprise.
energy and resource. As rule. such men
live where others die. and flourish where
others Ianguish.

The sneaker referred to the

people. The speaker referred to the
antagonism with which his arguments
in favor of Christianity met
The speaker was convinced that the
Christian missionary in the East could
lose nothing for the cause he eXpound-
ed by conceding that the religions Of
India possessed certain admirable ele-
ments Many souls had been lost to
Christ in India by dominating in
.f1uences and an improper Illustration
by missionaries of the beauties of the
religion they represented. The gospel
would have to be carried to the East
by those who we're essentially Chris
tan. The regeneration of India de-
pended entirely upon representatives Of
the Christian belief who were the enl-
bodiment of the religion they protested
The present outlook for the spreading
of Christianity throughout the far
away land was extremely promising.
DR.. Barrows paid a high compliment
to the Presbyterian missionaries now
in India and to the American residents
for their love of the mother country
and training of their children in its
principles of patriotism and freedom.
He spoke we'll of the great efforts OF
the English government and churches
of England towards lifting the Hindoos
out of their idolatrous and immoral
gutter into higher aims in life which
finally lead to civilization and the true
religion.

ing in Monday evening, and it was a
very jolly crowd which assembled at
the headquarters, the Windsor hotel,
for. an informal reception and Pythian
greeting yesterday morning.
Then came the parade. A brilliant
procession of the uniformed rank, the
military blue Of the Fort Smelling
lodge, and 200 representative men of
Minnesota, members Of the grand
lodge, passed through the streets to the
enlivening music of brass bands. At
the head was a squad of mounted po-
lice Next came the Third regiment
band, of Fort Smelling, followed by Ivy
Lodge No. 1876, made up of soldiers in
the United States army. In the front
was carried a large United States flag.
The members of this lodge wore ia
tigue uniforms.
Seibert's band had the next position
in line Then came the uniform rank,
in command of Col. Edward H. Mil
ham, with Capt. M. N. Goss as his side.
The grand LODGED officers and mem
bers, 100 strong, brought. up the rear
These wore souvenir badges, provided
by the ST. Paul organization. The
badge consisted of a silver bar on
which was INSCRIBED: "Silver Annivers-
airy. St. Paul, September, 1897" At
tached to this was a silver pendant.
On one side was the inscriptions:
"Grand Lodge TX. Tofs P. Dominion Of
Minnesota, Sept. 2S. 1897" On the re-
verse. side was the familiar design of
the commercial organizations of st.
Paul, representing st. Paul as the cen
ter of North America.
On arriving at the capitol, an open
session was held, for the making and
responses to addresses of welcome.
After the singing ofsthe national hymn,
America" Gov C1ough made a short
address in which he commended the
order for the good it had done and was
doing, and spoke of the benefits of
fraternalism in general.
H. E. Bigelow, acting on behalf of
the mayor, made a short speech, in
which he welcomed the visitors to the
city, and a fitting response was made
by Grand Chancellor Stratton.
The grand lodge then went into ex-
ecutive session and after the rank had
been conferred upon the new represen-
tatives and past chancellors. Grand
Chancellor Stratton submitted his an
