RAIMENT MARCH IN FANTASTIC PROCESSION OVER THE FESTIVAL GROUNDS OF CHILLIWACK Bishop Dontenwill Blesses the Chieftains and Priests Discourse in Seven Native Languages to the Braves Gathered to Witness Scenes From the Life of Christ Enacted by Dusky Thespians of the Wilderness ANCOUVER, B. C., June 4—The “tribal procession” was the great feature of the Indian passion play celebration at Chilliwack to- day. The number of natives in attendance has increased to nearly 300). To-day’s ceremonies were even more im- pressive than those of the opening re- ception last evening to the Catholic fathers of the Oblate order. At sunrise the entire camp was astir. Just after 6 tents owned by individual Indians. The scene is that of a regimental camp. The ceremonies are conducted with per- fect harmony and not the slightest noise disturbs them. The procession was con- ducted with all the glory and pomp known to the noble red man. All the Indians took part and the six Indian bands supplied the music. The proces- sion was a mile and a half long.

While the celebration is a religious one, there was not the slightest objection to personal adornment. Many of the In- dians were picturesquely togged out in bright garments and glaring war paint. Compared with these were the simple vestments of the priests and the highly colored dresses of the klootchmans and children in the other extreme. Many Tribes in Parade. There were 100 Indians mounted on po- nies in a cavalcade immediately behind the priests, and the largest band followed them. Then came the banner-bearers, carrying the insignia of the various tribes, from the Skeena River, Cocluskas and the Eastern Kootenais to the sons of the warlike races that formerly inhabited Idaho and Washington State. Another brass band and the main body of the visiting Indians from the coast and upper country followed, and the red men of the various tribes strove to outdo their rivals in the glory of their equipment and fur- OUT OF MINING CAMP Arizona Cowboys Object to the Presence of A.D. McKeown. Epecial Dispatch to The Call. TUCSON, Ariz., June 4—The miners and cowboys of Patagonia, a mining camp in Santa Cruz County, were bent upon dealing roughly with A. 8. McKeown last night. They ran him out of the camp and he prebably will give it a wide berth in | the future. McKeown came home one night and beat his wife. He was arrested and fined $300 by the Justice of the Peace. McKeown had his money in a Tucson bank and he was allowed to come to this city for the amount of his fine, but had to bring the camp's constable with him. While in Tucson both McKeown and the constable got intoxicated and made things lively. Returning to Patagonia, McKeown, it 1s charged, again whipped his wife, and the camp was thoroughly aroused. The miners and cowboys were determined to end his career then and there. The crowd went to the house of McKeown, but he had disap- peared and a search was made for him swithout avail. He had received warning of the anger of the camp and made good his escape. McKeown is a brother of Scott Me- Keown, ghe young man who squandered a fortune of $400,000 in iwo years. Scott McKeown's wife is Dorothy Studebaker, the vaudeville singer. A. S. McKeown re- ceives $1000 a month from the portion of the estate which he inherited. He was engaged in mining with his brother Scott at Patagonia until Scott spent his fortune and joined his wife on the coast. Death of George Vierling.

Immense dugout canoes, brilliantly painted and comprising the finest handi- work of the races, were borne in the big parade. Bishop Blesses the Chiefs. Aftér passing several times around the grounds the Indians were halted and again addresses were given in several lan- guages. Christian chiefs, clad in untannea skin robes, gathered in a circle immediate- Iy in front of the Bishop and were espe- clally blessed. This evening one of the interesting events of the celebration—that of the pre- sentation of valuable gifts between the tribes—took place. Thousands of dollars’ worth of goods of all descriptions, from blankets to table and farm utensils and trinkets, were given away by the tribes- men to one another. The individual gifts in some cases were valued at hundreds of dollars. The passion play itself, the feature which has attracted this vast gathering of red men, will be presented on Friday. it R e @ WIFE-BEATER 15 RUN SIGH OF THE WAVES THEIR BRIOAL MARCH San Franciscans the Princi- pals in Romantic Wed- ding at Sea. Bpeclal Dispatch to The Call. SANTA CRUZ, June 4—When the pas- senger steamer Bonita arrived fn port this afternoon a sprightly couple walked down the gangplank, followed by Rev. W. M. Woodward, pastor of the Epworth Methodist Church of San Francisco. They were the principals in a romantic mar- riage aboard the vessel on its down trip. §. G. West and Mrs. N. C. Vorhees started from San Francisco early thig morning with the intention of marrying at sea. At 1 o'clock this afternoon they stood on the npper deck of the Bonita, under the blue dome of Heaven, while they plighted their troth. The only wed- ding march that broke the silence was the lashing of Lhe waves against the ship. They were surrounded by a crowd of cu- rious spectators; all the passengers were there and they, with the officers in thier natty uniforms, formed a pleturesque group. The steamer was ten miles out at esa, opposite Spanishtown in San Ma- teo County. The Methodist marriage gervice was read, and the marriage cer- tificate was signed by Captaln Nopander and First Matc Alberts of the Bonita, Congratulations were then in order and the couple received them from flll on board. The Bonita arrived in port at 5 oclnck. Mr. and Mrs. West and Rev. Mr. Wood- ward proceeded to the depot, expecting to return this evening to San Francisco, They were Goomed {o- disappointment, as no train lcaves for, the metropolis after 2 o'clock. They then went to the Sea Beach Hotel and are to return early to-morrow morning. ~ PHILIPPINES AGREED UPON To Be Military in Name, But Conducted by Civilians. Cabinet Decides to Avoid an Extra Session of Congress. — e Attorney General Knox Shows the Way to Continue the Collection of Customs Duties. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. “W., WASHINGTON, June 4.—There will be no “extra sesslon of congress. This probability was wired to The Call on Wednesday last after the Cabi- net meeting held on the President’'s train, but at ‘bat time it was not conclusively settled in the absence of Secretary Gage | and Attorney General Knox. But at to- day’s meeting these points were: decided: There will be no extra session, for in the absence of a decision in the Supreme Court in the Philippine case it would be impossible for Congress to legislate in- telligently. Dutles will continue to be collected in | both the United States and the Philip- | pines as at present. If the court decldes against the government, duties will be refunded. Gevernment in Philippines. The form of government in the Philip- | pines will be changed on July 1. The new government will be conducted by civ- illans, but it will be “military” in name | and will report to the Secretary of War. | All powers of this government will be ex- ercised under the military authority of the President. The Cabinet session was one of the most important for many months. For two hours and a quarter the ques- tions with which the administration is confronted were discussed, Attorney Gen- eral Knox taking the lead. He pointed out that if Congress should be called to- gether it would be difficult to frame any legislation that would be certain.to lunrl the test of the courts, since nothing had| been decided as to the status of the Phfl- ippines. ) An Extra Session Avolded., | The President and other members of the Cabinet agreed in this view and con- cluded . that there would be little more risk in continuing the present system than in asking Congress to legislate. This consideration settled the question of an extra session, and determined the author- itles to go on collecting duties until a possible adverse decision of the court stops it. It is assumed that all the duties at both ends will be paid under protest. Secretary Gage does not think there Is any danger o(/lmporters, bringing any considerable amount of goods into the United States through the Philippines in the hope of securing a refund of duties. The cost of transportation to and from the Philippines would be considerable and the amount of money locked up in dutes that would have to be paid would be a serious matter. Knox’s Very Subtle Opinion. Knox has rendered a very subtle opin- fon. There is to be civil government in the Fhilippines, but it is to be called a military government. In all provinces where the United States authority is well established there will be purely civil gov- ernments, such as are now being install- ed by the Taft Commission. For the islands as a whole there will be a govern- ment administered by civillans under mil- itary authority, and responsible to the ‘War Department. As soon as the revised tariff for the Philippines Is completed it will be put Int> effect under the military authority of the President, as was done in the case of the present tariff. It had been hoped that this tariff would be ready on July 1, but it is now believea that it cannot be ready before August 1.
