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

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.

At Santa Fe we left our escort

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.

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

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.
Even in placid Japan they have
| bargain sales, but they conduct them
i on very different principles from the j
scrimmages we have over here, says !
I the English Ladies' Pictorial. An j
I amusing American' woman has em- j
I bodied her experiences of traveling
alone in Japan in a most entertaining
volume j?st published, whence may
be gathered a description of a sale at
the greatest trading trading house in
Japan.
The goods are not flung about,
j They are shown to advantage in
j locked casts, and the heads of depart- ;
j nients keep the keys. Remnants, !
however, are laid on mats,and though '
i there is keen anxiety to secure bar|
gains, perfect order and quiet prevail,
j Babies toddle about quite comforti
ably; other sleep on their mothers'
i backs. However orderly and quiet i
j though tha Japanese bargain sale !
, may be, it is not free from the shop- J

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.
