Austria Hungary is making an inter-
esting experiment to open up new
channels for it's trade. A steamer, the
Poseidon, fitted up as a floating exhi-
bition of the products of the monarchy,
ports of the Levant, the Red Sea,
Hindostan, the East Indies, Chins
and Japan. It's arrival will be exteu.
sively advertised beforehand at each
port, and commercial travellers on
board will try to secure orders for the
exhibitors and to find capable agents
at the points touched. The Govern.
ment has granted subsidy of $25, 700
to assist the enterprise.

Leaving $500 men, women and
children in the "half civilized" cate
CORY, these include the P illagers, who
number about $50 men and 750 women
and children. They do farming in a
small way. Nearly every family has
little garden between the stumps of
the land that has been cleared, and
most of them have permanent homes
built OF logs, with cows, horses, pigs
and chickens. During the summer
they fish a good deal and putter about
their gardens. In the winter they
work in the logging camps and hunt
for food and turs. Seventy per cent.
of the labor in the logging camps and
sawmills on the Pillager reservation
is performed by the Indians, and they
make good wages, but spend most Of
their money for whisky.
The Pillagers have always had
bad reputation for thievery. 1t is
said that the name they bear was lie.
rived frcm that characteristic. They
have never been famous for fighting,
but for plundering they could hold
their own against all competition.
They have not made the same pro.
gress in civilization cs the other bands
OF Chippewas, and by their exclusive.
ness and conservatism have earned
bad name in their tribe. :,
Their unpopularity among other
branches of their nation will, it is
thought, prevent any sympathy OF as
sistance from reaching therl. The
missionaries have made little pro.
gress among them, and Bishop Whip
pie, OF Minnesota, said that they had
refused schools and religious privileges
that had been offered, and Archde, ~
Gilfillan has been compelled to aban-
don missionary work among them4
They have ugly dispositions and prel
fer to live in their own way and resent
oil interference. |

The trouble is all the more remark
f1le because the Chippewas were one
of the few tribes in the United States
not affected by the ghost dance ex-
citement of 1890.
The Chippewas are members of the
great Algonquin family, which ranged
from the Mississippi to east of the
great lakes, through the northern part
Of the United States, and are still one
of the most numerous of the Indian
tribes. The territory of the tribe to
the eastward was bounded by the
country of the Iroquois, with whom
constant war prevailed, aud on the
west and southwest by that of the
Sioux, also inveterate enemies of the
Chippewas and their foes in hundreds

Of old Chief Bog -a-Meg- -Eshig, or
Bush Ear, head of the Pillagers,
made by deputy United States mar
shal on a warrant-a proceeding al
ways resented, either openly or secret
ly, by Indians, for they can never be
made to understand why white men
should interfere to the extent of de-
priving any one of them of his per-
sonal liberty. To the Indian, even
under the conditions of to-day, con-
fnement in prison for even short
term is equivalent to q sentence of
death, and the records will bear out
the assertion that few Indian prison
ers survive term of imprisonment of
more than three years. They are
peculiarly susceptible to home-sick-
ness, which, among Indians, is real
disease and commonly has fatal
termination. 1t is on this account
that an arrest, with the subsequent
imprisonment, is so'obnoxious to an In
dian that he will often fight to the
death rather than submit.
1t appears that in the present case
the friends of the man arrested over
powered the marshal and rescued his
prisoner. Troops were then sent out
to assist the marshal in arresting the
rescuers, and collision between them
and the Indians followed, with loss
to the troops of six killed, including
Major Wilkinson of the Third In
fantry, who but recently returned
from Santiago. The loss of the In

family had ruled Samoa for hundreds
of years previous to 1889, when Great
Britain, Germany, and the United
States decreed Mataafa should step
down and Malietoa, who died recently,
rule the islands. Malietoa did not
want to be King and asked that Mataafa
be allowed to keep his seat. The
powers would not have it, however,
and Ma!ietoa became King, with
Mataafa as vice-regent. Then O re-
bellion broke out, foreigners having
encouraged discord between King and
former ruler. Mataafa was defeated
and sent into exile. For years there
has been an agitation for Mataafa's re-
lease from exile, and the United States
Government is said to be well ll-disposed
towards him because of the service he
rendered Uncle Sans seamen after
the Apia disaster in 1889.
