This Was Decided on at Council of
Pillager Braves.
WILL TRY TO DRIVE TROOPS OFF
HostiIes Have Been Gathering on
Bear Island for Several Days.
MORE TROOPS GO TO FRONT

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn October 10-A
1t is reported, on the authority of a citizen
who has conversed with a hostile Pillager
Indian, who was in Wedn esday's battle,
and who has sat in all the councils Of the
Pi1lagers, that the Indians have agreed to
attempt, in a few days, to drive from the
reservation all of the troops now there.
They will, If they are successful in this,
not allow any United States authorities or
United States troops thereafter to land
uron the reservation. If troops land upon
the reservation at point not inhabited by
the hostile Indians, an attempt will be
made to drive them off soon as possible
The man who gave this information had
an extended conference with Gen. Bacon
last night.
Indians Gathering for Several Days.
That the Indians have been gathering
for several days is well known, and it
seems reasonable to suppose that they are
gathering for an attack on a body of troops
at least POO strong, as those at the agency
are. Up to date the hostiles have made no
attacks upon white settlers. There are no
Indications that they will do 80, and this
bears out the belief that they will contine
Falmouth and his band of forty Chippe-
wa Indians may be on the warpath before

be held at noon today he will deliver d.
message asking that the troops be taken
away from the agency, and informing the
authorities that in the event of a refusal to
do this he will join the hostile Pillager In
dians.
Troops Leave for the Front.
This morning 1870 men of the 14th Mime
sofa left for towns on the Fooston exten-
sion of the Great Northern road on the
northern border of the Leech Lake reserva-
ton. Lieutenant Colonel Johnson was in
command and had with him Major Schae-
fer, Captain Holmes, Adjutant Whine, Sur
geon Dorsey, Lieutenants Baker, Brisbin
Smiley, o 4-rien and Quartermaster Cox.
The men carried tents, 100 rounds of am
munition and several days ra1ons. They

then COncubinage openly lived in will form
no barrier to the altar among us. If we
are to assert the indissolubiity of the
marriage bond by canon, it seems to me
the open, the direct, the only just way to
do it is to forbid the marriage of any
member of the church during tine lifetime
of divorced husband or wife by any form
whatever, making the penalty eXcommuni-
cation.
The canon. as it stands, can effect nothing
of moment but confusion, from lack OF
straightforward dealing with the souls and
consciences of our people. 1t will also scat
ter broadcast seeds of disSeTsiOn between
conscientious priests and the self-wiled
members of their flock. Some priests will
do just as they do with our present canon,
they will disregard or evade it. Those who
will not will be regarded as Straightlaced,
or self-willed. and will oftcntimes have to
leave their cures if they refuse to marry
Divorces, or admit them to the altar after
marriage without.
Another Defect.
Another fault of the canon, 1 read it,
is that it puts no difference between the
baptized and the unbaptiZed, between per
sons married and divorced before they are
converted to the church, and persons di
vorced after they enter it. Equity and mer
cifulness, it seems to me, should not be de-
MED to those who transgress in ignorance
of the churchS law. so they may begin to
live an absolutely new life after conversion
and admission to the church.
Then. again, SO long the clergy of this
church are openly permitted to solemnze
the marriage of people when one or both
of the parties may be unbaptized or unbe-
lieving, permitting them to go away with
out the grace that comes with believing in
the Triune God how can we justify a strict
Evening star., 1898-10-10
Marriages Disapproved.

All it can effect, in my judgment is that
it will show that the church disaIproves Of
n arriage after divorce in all cases, even
of the innocent party, to the extent OF
prohibiting the of her service until the
death of one of the parties to the divorce.
That much would certainly have its value
as a deterrent with fairly conscientious
people. But so long as members of the
church may still approach the altar, though
they be married again without the church,
the proposed canon cannot fairly be said,
in my Judgment, to assert thu indissolu-
bility of the marriage bond. Or if it does,
Evening star., 1898-10-10

asserts the indissolubility of the marriage
bond. l, for ore, cannot see that 1t does
that. 1t duly asserts that no minister OF
this church shall marry divorced person
during the lifetime of the other party to
former marriage. 1t leaves the question
open as to whether the man or the woman
may not he married by any one else legally
qualified tc perform the marriage, without
losing the right to receive still at our
altars. and that without undergoing pen
ance or discipline of any sort. Some priests
and some bishops might subject the person
to discipline, it is true; but others would
not. And doubtless the majority would not.
Some priests who might do so would have
their action annulled by some bishops, ana
some bishops whoswould like to see dlScip-
line inflicted would be set at naught by
priests who would not and could not be re-
quired economically to suspend those persons
who choose to marry outside OF the church
during the lifetime of their divorced hus-
bands or wives. In other words, the canon,
as it stands, If passed, win only introduce
confusion worse than that which exists
now and Self-Will eVerywheTe.'

fairly expected to be either able or willing
to keep. We not only need the table of

A Flying Dutchman Impossible
Nowadays.

There is nothing less intrnsically
beautiful than a ship OF the days OF
Da Cana, or of Columbus. or later still,
of Raleigh; yet there was no sort OF
water born fabric built so charged
with the peculiar poetry or the sea and
that kind OF heightened quality of the
grotesque which by moonlight or at a
distance by day comes very near TO
beauty. We could not possibly manu-
facture the Flying Dutchman out of
anything launched this century. Think
OF a four-masted ship. with her dreary
black and red hull, her iron masts, her
metal shrouds, her short poop or long
flush deck her bewildering complica-
tion of double yards-think OF such a
ship luminous with the glow, breast
ing the surge of the Cape. Accurstl
Impossible. She never could make
Flying Dutchman in the spiritual
meaning of that terrific sentence of
doom. Vanderdecken would refuse
command. He would jump overheard
in his great boots. clutching his yard
of pipe to his heart, and so would end
one of the most poetical legends I'm all
sea literature. No; the phantom could
not survive such a shock. The four
master in taking her place would, with
laundering canvas, thrash the memory
OF her out of the seamen's mind. But
in that seventeenth century craft in
which the profane and stubborn Dutch
man put TO sea he is still TO be en-
countered. Doubt IL not. Nothing to
the north of "a deg. south but down
there, on soft, misty, moonlit nights,
the spectre glides into being; the vision
shapes itself into fabric OF star-like
poop, and tall. pale man, with long.
white ripping beard, standing beside
the helm, ''all silent and all damned,
as Wordsworth says; or she flies past
over mountainous seas, leaps, as IL
were. out of some sudden shrek Of
storm and wool-white squall of foam.
leaps and dissolves like the sea-fiash
swelling from her bow.--Mr. Clark
