ST. PAUL, Mimi, October PA Walker,
Mimi, special to the Dispatch says:
The Bear Island or Pillager Indians will

only remains for the terms to be arranged

8 o'clock last night Indians watch re-
sponded to signals, ard the three peace
commissioners went ashore in a skiff, car
rying flour, bacon. sugar, rice, tobacco and
canned goods.
They met a large number of the Indians
back in the woods, and were given cor
dial greeting; Hands were shaken all
around, and the battle of a week ago was
talked over. The Indians alluded to it as
"a little fun" They asserted that none of
their number was killed or wounded. Bug-

greetings We're shouted back and forth
across the little bay between him and the
commissioners. He waited all day for The
emissaries, and left for his house across
the bay soon after dark. When the boat
got in sight the Indians sent up skyrockets.

the fears of the people, and invited the cor
respondents to go out today. A report in

The first business before the bishops this
morning was the report of the committee
on raarrangement of the boundaries Of
missionary Jurisdictions This had the ef-
feet of postponing the nomination Of bisn-
ops to the vacant missionary juriSdictions
and it goes over Indefinitely. The report
opens up a large question, considered of
great Importance by leading churchmen
and there we're long and warm deba.es
upon il. There is a strong likelihood that
the special order for debate at 3 pm today
uTon the canon of marriage and divorce
will also be set aside and the argument
over The missionary jurisdictions allowed

OF everything else.
The purpose is 10 readjust the jurisdic-
uons more on the lines Of convenience with
regard 10 transportation facilities within
them The inability of mission workers to
go from one boundary to another of their
jurisdictions frequently arises because
there are no connecting railway lines or

be much more conveniently reached if they
were made part of other Jurisdictions than
the one in which they now are. 1t is felt

A CREDIT TO THE NATION

More than three weeks have elapsed since
the startling intelligence that the United
States battleshp Maine had been blown up
and destroyed in Havana harbor was made
known to the public.
The awful event so shocked the people of
the United States that TOR awhile people
and officials were dazed by its enormity, and
the nation was given up to mourning and
breathless interest in the names of the lost
and wounded.
Shortly afterwards stories came thick and
fast that the attleshp and more than $50
of its crew had been destroyed by tire cherry
With every evidence OF verify the CORES.
pondents at Havana related with circum
stantial detail how the work of havoc had
been wrought by submarine mine over
which the Maine was placed by Spanish
pilot, acting under orders of u Spanish ad :
miral in times of peace.
Since that time the Information has come
that there were no mines in the harbor of
Havana, and the same corresp lndents are
now telling the people that the havoc was
wrought by floating torpedo.
In the meantime court OF inquiry, com
posed Of distinguished officers OF the Amer
lean navy has been engaged In making a
complete and thorough investigation OF the
wreck and the causes which brought the
explosion about. The result of their ex
animation is now in all probability 10 the
hands of the President and his cabinet.
Pending this examination the administra
ton has suspended judgment, so have both
houses OF Congress, and to the great credit
OF the people Of the United States, the SAME
can now be said truthlully OF them.
Ii is undoubtedly true that majority o
the American people believe that the Main,
was destroyed by design. This belief ha,
been added to, If not played upon, by sen
sational dispatches to more than Sensational
newspapers
But through 1t all the people have dis
played a calmness worthy OF the people O
great and powerful nation like ours
This elaboration is Indicative of no /, cl
of feeling of resentment, or through fear O
consequences, but II is directly ATTRIBUTABLE,
TO the fact that the people of this countr,
are above all things else--fair.
When the facts are all known, as the,
must soon be, the temper Of the people will
be such that the proper course is almost Ger

Imagine the attitude of the French people

the blood OF soldiers endeavorng to check

If the Viscaya, the Spanish warsbip. had
met with a similar fate in the New York har.
Dor as did the Maine, the cables would have
been laden the day following with accounts
OF riots in Barcelona and Madrid. The
American Ministers and Consuls residences
would have been attacked, and the over
throw OF the government itself would be
dangerously near, if war were not declared
Even the calculating Britshers and the
phlegmatic Teutons would have demanded
immediate demonstrations of force. But the
American people, as jealous of their honor
as any, more conscious of their strength, all
as patriotic and devoted, as enthusiastic and
brave, can afford to wait the facts.

The House of Representatives on Tues.
day, without dissenting vote, passed bill
aPpropriating 100000 for the national
defense. While several of those who spoke
in support of the bill were inclined to en-.
phasze It's Importance and significance as a
war measure" the speeches that were made
were conservative and most of them ex.
pressed the hope that conflict between the
United States and Spain would be averted.
Mr. Cannon, the chairman of the appropria.
tions committee, who presented the bill, de.
clared positively that it was peace measure,
and as he has had intimate relations with
the President recently his statement carries
great weight. The passage of the bill may
be accepted as one of the precautions which
the administration has advised in the event
that our relations with Spain should be.
more acute than at present.
