London, Oct There Is prac-
tically but one opinion OF the recon
structed British cabinet and that is
that Premier Salfour missed his op-
portunity to rehabilitate the character
of his government and that so far as
the Unionist policy at large is con-
cerned the ministry has lost most OF
its prestige and authority. This esti-
mate of what is already commonly
designated as the transitional cab
met" seems largely due to the sense
of chaos arising from the unexpected
detection of the N,.:e of Devonshire,
lord president of the council and Con-
servative leader in the house of lords,
whose resignation was Unexpectedly
made public Monday. as, with the
notable exception Of the colonial sec
retaryship. the premier has recon
structed the cabinet in a manner
closely agreeing with public opinion.
Austen Chamberlain, Mr. Brodrick
and Mr.. Arnold-Forster were all some
time ago assigned with more or less
approval to the posts to which they
have been appointed. In spite of this
there is no Disgusting the fact that a
large rent in the party unity has been
caused by the resignation of the Duke
of DevOnshire, the chief author Of the
Liberal-Unionist party. and this was
amply recognized by Mr.. Balfour's let
ter acknowledging the receipt Of his
resignation
The dukes action. however, seems
to have aroused the same fighting
spirit in Mr.. Balfour which enabled
him to triumph over difficulties in the
eighties. when the whole of IRELAND
was in arms against him, and there
are not lacking those who foretel

GREAT THINGS EXPECTED
Visit Of King Victor Emmanuel to
France.

Milan, Italy, Oct. THE Secolo, III
q dispatch from Rome. published an
extended interview with Premier Zan-
ardeiIi on the significance OF the ap-
preaching visit of King Victor En-
manuel to France, in which the Italian
statesman is quoted as saying:
The Italian democracy has always
given the warmest support to friendly
relations between France and Italy,
which is another pledge OF European
peace. All our efforts are in that
direction. No one rejoices more than
l at this happy rapproachment. The
kings voyage is the elimination of
our aspirations, giving a solemn con
secration to the hearty exchanges of
good will between the French and ltal-
ian fleets
Signor Zanardelli added that he re-
gretted his inability to accompany the
king owing to the multiplicity of do
nestle problems to solve before the
reassembling of the Italian parliament.

London, Oct. 7.-Great Britain has
q new cabinet and in popular opinion
a very weak one. 1t is considered
that it cannot last longer than the
next session of parliament.
Mr.. Brodrick. formerly secretary
for war, succeeds Lord George Ham

ceeds Mr.. Ritchie as chancellor of the

secretary for war; Graham Murray
lord advocate of Scotland. succeeds
Lord Balfour of Burleigh as secretary
for Scotland; Lord Stanley, financia
secretary of the VIZ office, succeeds
Austen Chamberlain as postmaster
general.
The weakness will probably result
in an ultimate victory for Chamber
lain, who resigned as colonial secre
tary.

their old free life through the divorce
avenue.
The Indian marriage of today is
curious mixture of civilized methods
and tribal ceremonies. Unwilling to
give up their traditional customs, the
Indians are now using both tribal and
civilized laws. The young buck
chooses his squaw in the manner OF
the Sioux, then is married by a JUS
tice of the peace or missionary clergy
man.
The dance at which squaws are
publicly chosen by eligible bucks has
not lost its popularity. AT sufficiently
frequent intervals these dances are
tents. The old warriors and sauaws
take their seats in circle, silently
smoking. Presently the younger In
dians come in. The bucks are arrayed
in all the finery that civilization has
left them All the marriageable maid
ems enter the tent with covering over
their heads These are gorgeously
made, and rattle at every step with
beads and teeth of wild animals
AT the signal from an old Indian
the younger ones begin to dance. II
is an uncouth STEP possessing no
charm for the white man. With a
peculiar rhythm of the movement the
young bucks hop about from maiden to
maiden, lifting up their coverings and
at last the buck has found his lady
love he marches her off. Under the
native custom the marriage is conciud
ed when the Indian takes his bride TO
his tepee.
But even the hot -booded Sioux has
been tanned to submission to the civil
lized marriage law. When the sacred
dance is concluded the couple set OH
for the nearest town or church. JUS
tices of the peace in Oacoama have
been visited by as many as thirty
couples at the same time, all demand
ing immediate marriage. The Epis-
copalian missions are proving most
popular. however. The Indians are
mystifed and charmed by the elabor
ate ceremony of the Episcopal mar
riage. so they now look up these
churches to finish the elaborate tri
bal custom of choosing wives ant
husbands. They want to be married
by high church form. They think thi
i is more in keeping with their OWL
ceremony than the few informal word
in a dingy Justices Office,

INDIANS PATRONlZE DIVORCE

Redman Gets Civilized Enough to Seek

able partner.
THE Indians have discovered the
beauties of the South Dakota divorce
laws, and are taking advantage OF
them" said Gen Andrew A. Burt to
newspaper man at Fort Meyer re
Gently.
AT the present rate of increase the
Indian divorce mill of South Dakota
in five wears will become more eXpen-
sive than the ready made divorce fac
tories for easterners While an Indian
divorce was an unheard of thing half
decade ago, sixteen petitions for
legal separation have been filed at
Oacoma during the last year by full
blood Sioux bucks and squaws. Di-
vorces have come to the Indians as
one of the heritages of civilization. The
Indian officials have been trying for
twenty years to induce the Indians to
be married according to the white
mans law.
Now they have almost succeeded.
But the same law has taught them
the interesting fact that they can
change wives or husbands. They fail
to understand that the divorce law
is anything but means to obtain the
luxury of an unlimited number OF mar
riages. Many bucks and squaws who
know not a word of English and bear
no mark of civilization except that OF
clothes come to the attorneys offices
and ask for divorces, when they have
no reason but a desire to form new
marriage. They point to other Indians
who have had many wives, and ask
why they cannot when the law pro
/ vides the way
when the Indian tribes are placed
on reservations and cut off from their
native wild life their respect for their
own social laws dwindle. II was not
