One-Eyed Miguel. | An Account of His Visits * to Washington and 9 J the "Great Amer 2 J ican Chief." ? A A f By Major-Genaral 0. 0. Howail f O ? ^ ^ 9 9 9^ ? <3v ?<*-? You remember the great peace meeting near Camp Santos where the Indian children were giver, back, and how old Santos put the white stone * down and said that as long as it lasted there would be no war. After this the Indians were very friendly to the white men, and so it seemed a good tjme for some of the Indian chiefs to go East and visit the Great White Chief in Washington. Just about one month after the great peace meeting the young Pima chief, Antonito, his friend Louis, who spoke some English, and Mr. Cook, the good Indian teacher, joined old Santos, of the Aravipa Apaches, who ^ came with his interpreter, Concepi cion. to meet them near the crossing of the Aravipa River. Then they all rode on horseback to a field just south of Camp Grant, and here I met them. Captain Wilkinson, my aide, was with me, and we had a mounted escort of a sergeant and six soldiers. We were to go 100 miles over a very rough, steep mountain trail to Camp Apache, near the eastern border of Arizona, but we could take no wagons. so all our luggage was on four strong pack-mules, while I rode a large gray horse. We found a regular frontier army post, large enough for six companies of soldiers and their officers. This was Camp Apache. You may be sure that we were warmly welcomed, and every one tried to make us comfortable. When we were rested Major Ucuia.6, me cumuictuuiug urnuer, IUIU me about the Indian tribes here. There were three bands, all Apaches. The nearest band, about 1000 strong, was only a few miles to the east. Pedro was their chief. Eskeltesela was the chief of another band. He was old and easy-going, but^a good soul. His people quarreled some with their neighbors. Major Dallas said, but on l the whole gave little trouble. About tW?Tve miles away to the south was still another band, S00 strong. This f was under a chief whom the white _ men called "One-Eyed Miguel," because he had only one eye. These chiefs, the major said, were formal and ceremonious, and had plenty of complaints to make, so I might expect to have a visit from them as soon as they knew I was at Camp Apache. "T*.nd it was not long before they came. Pedro looked like a spare-boned, hard ^ tyorking Yankee farmer, and tried to ri s\r? c* 1 i lr A o m n n fr\*? Vi n Tiori Ui coo nivc (i iiiciii, lvjl uc uctu one white man in his band Eskeltesela was handsome, with fine features and large, clear eyes. He dressed like a Mexican. After he had paid the usual compliments he told me that his children had tried always to do good, but they were often hungry and wanted bread and some meat. Last came One-Eyed Miguel. He was the biggest chief of all, and indeed was worth seeing. He was very tall, his hair hanging loose, long and unbraided. He seemed to be watching all the time with his one eye, and he was always smiling. Evidently, come what might, he intended to be agreeable. Concepcion interpreted and told me that Miguel was glad to see ' Washington Big Chief;" did I know that the Sierra Apaches came to the good major now for food, but they had been hungry so long that if vnii tmirhprl thpm their sharn hnnos M hurt, you? They had good corn on jfl their fa(ms, too, only it was not ripe 9 yet. I listened to what Miguel had I to say, and then I asked him if he fl would go East with me. He thought II about it for some time and then said ? that he would go. p? ?** At Santa Fe we left our escort horses and wagons to the Indian H agent and garrison, and now. dressed M in good civilian clothes, took the ? four-horse stage for Pueblo and then 9 by train to New York. On the way I M happened to speak of the earth as W round, and when the Indians heard H me they begged that I would not say M so. for people would think I was troubled with bad spirits; no one with sense could think the earth was M round. They hardly knew what to 9 say when I told them I knew a white man once who sailed in a ship all the 9 way around it. How surprised they fflwpre over all the new things they B saw. I watched when they first saw a railway, a train of cars, a telegraph S3 line, a tunnel or a bridge: sometimes |l they were breathless and full of fear. gH at other times they showed gr^at joy. H Once Eskeltesela said to me* "You Mthink Indians all bad; look in my Heyes and see if you see any bad." And indeed I did not, as I looked into Rhis frank, open face and bright, clear " eyes. 3$ Miguel carefully counted all the gflmounlain peak? as we traveled, that ajjhe might surely be able to find his gHway back, but as the train rushed on I he became more and more discouraged. and at last he told me he had given it up. Hp had trusted me to come, and would trust me altogether now. In New York I bought Miguel a glass eye. It was so much like the other eye that it was hard to toll which was which. The doctor told him to take it oilt and wash it now and then, but Miguel said: So, no. Who ever heard of a man taking out his eye?" He was very proud of this new eyp, and had Louis write and tell his people that when he came home he would have two eyes instead of one. Ir. Washington we went to see the home where children who are deaf and dumb are taught to read and write and to speak. Here the Indians WerP verv hlinnv Vfiyal hatran bv making rabbits with his hands and 1 was delighted when the children understood what he meant. One after another the chiefs began to tell sto* j ries in thp sign language, and al-; though ihev could not make the white i man understand in English, they | could, strange to say. tell wonderful : stories of animals and forests, streams and prairies, to thj deaf and dumb children. Here in Washington these "American chiefs" saw the "Great American : Chief." our President, and then wj started back once more for the West. : At Camp Apache all the Indians gath- ! ere;l to greet Pedro. Eskeltesela, and One-Eyed Miguel, and to rejoice ovei i their safe return. I never saw morn , signs of real joy as they flocked around them, but One-Eyed Miguel was One-Eyed Miguel no longer, and , all were curious to catch a glimpse ol j this ever-smiling Indian chief who had but one eye when he went away, : but had come back from the whitd i man s country with two.?From St. j Nicholas. 25,000 MINERS j KILLED SINCE 1889. Government investigator Points j Out En:r.nous Loss of Life Among Underground Workers' Recent coal mine disasters in the ' United States have so aroused gov- , eminent authority that steps are being taken by officials of the Geological Survey to investigate causes and suggest not only preventives to mine owners, but to cause State and na- j tional legislation that in the future will tend to decrease loss of life. Dr. J. A. Holmes, chief of the technological division of the Geological Sur- ; vcy, came from Washington to consult with prominent mining engineers in New York and then left for Pitts- , burg, where he will see mine owners and lay his plans before them. Three scientists from Dr. Holmes' j j department already are in tte field ! [ looking into conditions under which ' miners work and seeking to learn ; what causes most contribute to casu- ! alties in American coal mines. Con siderable progress has been made, I enough, in fact, for Dr. Holmes to j base recommendations which he will | lay before the Secretary of the In- j terior in a report to be submitted January 1. "Loss of life in American coal ; mines are three times as great." Dr. j Holmes said yesterday, "as in the ! coal mines of Europe. The only rea- j son for this is that we do not super- j A/MwlUinnp ihwIai* nrViir>Ti minora i V lit: (JUUUlllUUO UUUCt n wiv.u 1 work as carefully as the foreign gov- j ernments do. Twenty-three thousand | persons have been killed in American ' mines since 1889, while in the same period 50,000 men have been so seriously injured as to become a matter of record. The chief cause of the ' disasters here are that practical min- i ers do not understand the conditions j under which they are working. They I can be made to appreciate these conditions only by having them pointed j out to them by scientists, who will ! go into the matter thoroughly. We cannot have the proper legislation j until conditions are known. As min- I ers go deeper into the earth each year i the chances of accidents become i greater and in most of our mines in j the principal coal districts a aeptn j has been reached where conditions i are beyond the reach of practical \ miners to grasp or to remedy. "Practically all mine disasters are the result of explosions of coal dust j or coal gas, or combinations of both, i Explosion is the result of use of the open lamp worn in miners' caps, or 1 firing shots or of sparks from electric wiring. All these causes are subjects that should be regulated by legislation as in foreign countries. In Europe they use safety lamps. There also careful government tests ! are made of all explosives used, so i that danger from the flame element ! is reduced to a minimum. In Ameri- ; ca there is no supervision of explo- ! sives. Neither have we in America j investigated the quality of the gases j tha". form in mines. In certain gases , the -e are qualities more explosive thai in others. 'There should be some system by whhli employers could prevent habitually careless persons from working where they might endanger the lives of others. Just what legislation is necessary Is a matter that public j opinion must decide."?New York \ Herald. Bargain Sales in Japan.

Executive Oflicpr.s of Trades Unions Discuss Supreme Court Decisions With President Gorapers. Washington, 0. C.?A conference of far-reaching importance to labor occurred here. Participating were President Gompers and the members of the Executive Council of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, together with the ececutive officers of the International Trade3 Unions of America. who met pursuant to a call issued by President Gompers to consider the consequences of the recent injunction decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States affecting labor organizations, with particular j reference to the Danbury hatters' case, in which that court substani tially held tkat labor organizatibns i were to be considered trusts, as much I as organizations of capital. After calling attention to tho sig^ i | nificance of these decisions, Mr. Gom! pers stated that the conference was for the purpose of "taking such action as the importance and merits of the subject dealt with may be considered and determined as# setting forth the position and demands of labor." I The court's rulings, he pointed out, | were binding upon all labor organij zations until changed or modified by ; Congressional action. The object of the conference, there! j fore, was to consider the proposed ' amendments to the Sherman Anti i . Trust act, which are being drafted, ! with a view, not of exempting labor ! organizations from their obligations ; i to the public, but rather to prevent , I any injustice being done through the operation of law to organizations of ! laboring men, particularly through i ! injunction. It is desired so to frame , | the proposed changes in the Sherman , ; law as to meet the requirements of ! ! the Supreme Court's decisions. The l I proposed amendments are the result [ of recent conferences at the White , | House between President Roosevelt , ! and others, and it is hoped to secure . i remedial legislation along these lines at this session of Congress. j There are 117 national and international trade unions in America, j and practically all of them were rept I resented by one or more delegates. i ? !
