MARRIAGE BY FORCE.
Giant Indians Of TERRA del Fuego and
Their Strength.

Gle In the Century Magazine for
March THE Giant Indians OF
TERRA del Fuego." whom he Visited
on the Belgian Antarctic expedition
OF their marriage customs he writes:
Marriage, like almost everything
Ona, IL not fixed by establishing rules.
It is arranged and Eearranged from
time TO time to suit the convenience
OF the contracting parties Women
generally have very little to say about
It. The bargain Is made almost sole.
ly by the men, and physical force is
the principal bond OF union, For ages
the strongest bucks have been accus'
toned TO steal women from neighbor-
ing tribes, and from neighboring
clans Of their own tribe. The Onas,
being by far tho most powerful In
dams. have thus been able TO capture
and retain a liberal supply OF wives.
A missionary who has been In con
slant contact with these Indians for
thirty years has given 1t AZ his opin-
ion that a plurality OF wives IL en-.
tirely satisfactory TO their peculiar
emotions and habits OF life.
The relation to one another OF the
women who possess but one husband
In common in the family wigwam IL
Of novel interest. As rule, they are
no more jealous than are the children
In civilized home circle, The Drin-
cipal reason for this Is that the sew
eral wives are often sisters. A young
man takes by force. by mutual agree
ment or by barter. the Oldest daughter
OF a family. II he proves himself
good hunter and kind husband, the
wife persuades her sister TO join her
wIgwam and share her husbands af'

TWO NAVAL OFFICERS
SHARPLY CENSURED:
Court of Inquiry Fixes Blame for
Collision of the Craven and
Dahlgren.

Washington. Nov 13.--The Naval Court OF
Irouiry which investigated the collision on
October 16 near Newport Of the torpeoo
boats Dahlgren and the Craven has made
its report. recommending that Lieutenant
Ford H. Brown OF the Craven be trieu
By court-martial. and that Lieutenant Will
lam G. Miller OF the Dahlgren be censured-
On the recommendation Of the Judge Ad-
yocate General. Secretary Long dispensed
with the court-martial and administered
censure in both cases.
The report Of the board gives the cir
cumstances of the collision. which occurred
when the boats were off Castle Hill. the
Dablgren ahead and the Craven following
about 100 or 200 yards away. When the
Dahlgren made a sudden and proper change
of course a collision became unavoidable
unless the Craven had maintained perfect
lookouts which, the board finds. was not
done. There was only one lookout on the
side away from the Dahlgren. and the COM
manding officer at the moment OF the
change of course left the deck and went
into the coming tower to look at the chart.
The board finds. therefore. that Lieutenant
Brown was mainly responsible fer the col
lision.
1t also holds that Lieutenant Miller COM
mitted an error of judgment In not. under
the circumstances. Indicating in some way
the intended change of course to Lieutenant
Brown although the court says 1t has In
mind the fact that 1t has not been Gus
,omary in handling torpedo boats In COM
parry to give previous notification of a
change Of course.
