Government and Piigrimages.
The Canadian government has been try
ing to stop these pilgrimages II has ar
rested the pilgrims and made them put on
their clothes, and even held them for some
time in prison. In 1902 a number of Douk-
hobers turned their horses cattle and
sheep out on the prairies, and at another
time they got the idea they should have
nothing to do with metal, and the women
cut the hooks and eyes out of their gar
ments. Some said that they should not
work the earth for fear they would spoil
It, and some threw away their shoes be-
cause certain animals had been robbed OF
their skins to make them.

stripped off their clothes and made stark

Dor villages gathering up recruits. The
story Of the march, written by one Of the
pilgrims, was published in a Russian pa

give us some idea OF II from DoukhoboT
standpoint. Says the pilgrim:

The Union Army's Danger.
Shortly after the war I met In New
Orleans Col. Fullerton. of the United
States Army. He was Schofield's Adju-
tant- General at the time of these events,
in connection with which he wrote me
the following:

ITO Gen. Hood.
General: The only body OF United
States troops on the battlefield of Spring
Hill, Tenn, on the 18th of November.

Fourth Army Corps. / think the divi-
were no other United States troops in
or about Spring Hill on that day but
100 or 200 cavalrymen and perhaps so
or 60 infantrymen (post troops). The
rest of Gen. Schofields army was in the
vicinity Of Columbia, on the north side
OF Duck River, and none of these troops
began to arrive at Spring Hill until after
9 p. m. 1 arrived in Spring Hill with
the Second Division Of the Fourth Corps
and remained there till nearly daylight,

Gen. Forrest had crossed the evening
previous and moved to the front and
right. l threw forward a few skirmish-

as l supposed the troops could possibly
proceed.
During the march the Federal cav
airy appeared on the hills to our left;

reach the enemy's rear and cut him off
from Nashville.
l also knew that Schofield was oc-
cupied in his front, since l could dis
tinctly hear the roar Of Lees artillery

cross the river.
Thus I led the main body Of the
army to within about two miles and in

officers approached I spoke to Cheat

retreating rapidly to escape us?" He
answered in the Affirmative. Go"

Monroe Doctrines Popular.

America no longer monopolizes Mon- roe Doctrines, for Japan has set up one in the Far East, and France will today assert at Algeciras one in Morocco.
 All are based on geographical prox- Unity, if not common interests. Mo rocco, like France, lies on the Mediter- ranean, an inland sea, and French ter riLory encloses Morocco on two sides. French statesmen say that if the Mon roe doctrine fits American interests even to the Horn, then 1t should give France a special interest in Morocco. Japan says likewise that no one must hereafter assail the integrity of China without first obtaining the consent of the Mikado, who is near at hand.
 It has thus come about that Monroe doctrines are multiplying. They may become epidemic. Every country that has a strong fleet or a strong army will lay claim to a sphere of influence, and the claim will have to be allowed in many cases. It certainly will be in the Far East, where the helmet strings are to be tied tighter.
 President Monroe and Secretary Of State John Quincy Adams builded bet ter than they knew when they asserted the predominance of this country in all the Americas as against the Holy Alli- hnce and all Europe in general. The American claim has practically been allowed, and the Japanese claim will not be lightly crossed by any nation, but it remains to be seen how far the nations will permit France to assert a Monroe Doctrine over Moslem coun- tries, especially over Morocco.
