TALK WITH GENERAL MILES.
How the Hostile Indian Chiefs Hare Been Dis
posed of Lojal tinea Not Disarmed.
Chicago, Jan. 23. General Miles, ' who
has doae temporarily at ' least' with his
campaign in the Sionx country, arrived in
Chicago last night by rail from Pine Kid ge,
accompanied by forty-eight . ex-hostile.
Indians.' Thirty ordinary bucks were
quietly run oat to Fort Sheridan, where
they will enjoy an indefinite stay under
the intluenco of civilization. Eighteen
chiefs were transferred by omnibus to the
Pennsylvania depot under ample guard,
and soon departed by train for Washing
ton. General Mile remained in the city
only a few moments and then proceeded to
Fort Sheridan.
When asked this morning as to the final
disposition to be made of the Indians now
, at Fort fcheridan. General Miles said:
"That is a matter to be determined in the
, future. Now that Sitting Hull and other
chiefs aro killed, and I have most of the
, others here, the Indians are left, you might
say, without a. leader, and there is no
danger of further outbreak on the reserva
tions. These men whom I brought to Chi
cago are a crowd ot outlaws. Three
. hundred of the . Indians arrested
were sent to Fort Sully. The others
are all now under control of
military authority and back on their reser
vations where they belong, or on their way
there. I did not know what movement
might be attempted in the spring, and
therefore I brought the leading hostilea to
Fort Sheridan as a precaution. They will
be well provided for and allowed as much
liberty as is consistent with the circum
stances. What will finally be done with
them it would be impossible for me to de
. terniine at this time.
The chiefs who went through to Wash
ington are not dangerous. They have gone
merely to have a conference and under-
standing with the authorities, and will re
turn to their tribes. The Indiana who re
mained loyal were not disarmed, for the
reason that it would have been an injus
tice to have treated them the same as the
hostile, With the hostile tribes only a
very few arms were left, simply enough for
their personal protection. I anticipate no
further trouble, and if there is ever another
war with the Indians it will be on an en
tirely different matter."
Gen. Miles has detailed the following of
ficers to command a company of Indian
r.couts to be enlisted at Pine Kidge Agency:
First Lieutenant Willis O. Clark, Twelfth
Infantry: Second Lieutenant Godfrey PL
McDonald, First Cavalry; Second Lieuten
ant Joseph C. Byron, Eighth Cavalry.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
Pittsburg. Jan. 2S. Mr. II. O. Frick,
owner of the Mammoth mine No. 1, the
scene ot yesterday's terrible explosion, has
been in almost constant communication
with his representatives at the pit since
yesterday afternoon. Mr. Frick said this
morning that he bad private information to
the effect that np to an early hour this
morning 103 bodies had been removed from
the shaft. Mr. Frick says that there were
in all lfiO men working in the mine at the
time of the accident, nine of whom escaped
with tbdir lives. ' Some of them were bad
ly injured, the rest, or, 151 men, were
either killed outright or suffocated
by the horrible after-damp. This
catastrophe, while involving more
than five times the loss of life occasioned
by the Dunbar disaster, differs in many
respects frcm the latter. It was not true,
as stated -last night, that the Mammoth
shaft was burning. At Dunbar the explo
sion set tire to the mine, and the shaft for
days and weeks was a roaring furnace,
adding horrors to the great fatality. In
yesterday's occurrence this was not
the case, and by the perfect working of
the fan pure air was forced into tne
mine and the work of rescuing was per
mitted to begin at once. A dispatch re
ceived from Mammoth says that at 2
o'clock 110 bodies had been recovered, and
of this number fifty -three have been
identified. Fifty coffins arrived from
Pittsburg this, morning and fifty
more reached here to-night. An additional
order for twenty-tivo more was sent this
morning.-The victims, will be buried by
the company. Many of the unfortunates
are Hungarians, and will be sent to Soott
dale for interment.
Fire boss Snaith, whose body was so ter
ribly mangled, had early yesterday morn
ing filed the following report in the office
of the company' at the works:
This is to certify that we, the undersigned, have
this day, Jan. 27, 18SJ1. examined the working
places in Mammoth, and found the same to be in
a tit condition for men and other workers em
ployed therein.
'r This was signed by William Snaitb, fire
boss; William Patterson, inspector of ma
chinery, and George rfefter, engineer.
The Mammoth mine was examined by In
spector Jenkins, of the Second district, on
Jan. 16, 1891. His report savs: "General
condition of mine good, with 5,608 cnbic
feet air inlet."
Interviews were had this morning with
former owners of the Mammoth mines and
others, whose business interests and duties
require them to keep posted on the condi
tion of every mine in the Connellsville
coke region. Their statements agree in
that there is absolutely no way to ac
count for the accident. At no time
has the reever been a suspicion of gas in the
Mammoth mine, and this in plant, as well
as at all others owned by the Frick com
pany, no expense has been spaTed to make
their mines as safe as experience and
science can make them.
THE TERRIBLK AFTER-DAMP.
An official of the Frick company said this
morning: "It may never be known how or
why the explosion occurred. The accumu
lation of fire-damn was probably the cause,
but it was never known to exist in any
quantity before; in fact, it may be said that
the Mammoth mine has been freo from
damp. There is a theory that a pocket of
natural gas was reached and that the oper
ation of the ventilating fans now prevents
any accnmulation of it. The disaster has
some remarkable features. It was as dead
ly, as sweeping and as complete as the
sinking of a ship in mid ocean. Its history
is to be told by those who do not know it.
for there is no one of all those that worked
in the openings of that part of the mine
where the disaster occurred to describe its
details." A
, "It comes to you like some whirlwind,
with bine tints of a rainbow, and when it
bursts into 11 a rue it passes over yonr body
like a great log. God does not often let a
man live to tell what has happened to him.
. If it catches you npriuht yon are'like a leaf
in a tornado, and it rends' the ribs of slate
in the openings like the ribs of a straw
rick." 'I hat is what a miner who has been
in the coal ruiues thirty-five years says of
the "after-damn," the "black death" of the
darkness and the silent, echoing passage
ways where men delve.
ever in the history of American coal
mining has there been such an unexpected
accident, with such a complete annihila
tion of all .within its reach. The Mammoth
mine has been notable always as being par
ticularly free from gas. Fire boss
Smith, a man who has worked in
mines in Great Britain and this
country for thirty years, made his
usual carefnl inspection of all the rooms
aud headings at the customary time be
tween 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning. His
duty was to enter every place whore men
worked, and to mark upon the wall of the
room or heading the sign of his approval
the figures of the day of the month. When
the miners went to work on Tuesday morn
ing they looked for the indication of the
fire boss's visit, and it was there, scratched
iuto the black "27;" and so, on Jan.27,18yi,
as on the days that had gone before, there
was the familiar "all is well." As the best
indorsement of his belief in the safety of the
mine, he remained for an hour longer than
usual with the men at work. His body
was found scattered in fragments for a
hundred feet. His home is now in the
public morgue, where scores of blackened
bodies are washed and made decent for the
grave; and there is a widow and a father
less girl in the house across the hilltops,
where friendly hands are ministering to
them.
Hut little remained to be done to-day but
bury the dead and clear np every vestige
of the' recent explosion. At Scott
dale. , Pa.. this evening, sixty-two
dead miners were buried in , the
Catholic Cemetery. Thirty more of
this religion will probably be buried to
morrow in the same cemetery. Most all
the victims are of that faith. General
Manager Lynch took charge of the
bodies. . which were buried during
a arencning rain, in the presence
of 5,000 relatives and friends. The
bodies were placed in two trenches
each two hundred feet long and six feet
deep. Each dead miner lay in a neat casket
furnished by the mine-owners. At this
writing 110 bodies have been recovered,
though the lower chambers of the mine are
being searched, as several men are still
reported missing. The truth, however,
is hard to learn, as many of the miners wero
foreigners and comparatively unknown.
An appeal for aid has been issued through
out the coke regions, and T. V. Powderly
has been asked to issue a similar call for
the benefit of the distressed families.
Hamilton Alive In k'aw South Wales.
PiilLAPELrniA, Jan 28. The Times pub
lishes a story in substantiation of the report
in regard to Robert Kay Hamilton being
alive and residing in the Antipodes under
an assumed name. The story as told in the
Times is as follows: "Robert Ray Hamil
ton is alive and is now living in Sydney,
K. 8. W., where he has beiiun life over again
underan assumed name. Thisstatement was
made yesterday to a Times reporter by an
intimate friend of Mr. Hamilton, and the
truth of it was vouched for by several let
ters which he had received from the latter
since his alleged death."
Robert Ray Hamilton's immediate family
and friends in New York, however, adhere
to the belief that the report of his death in
Idaho, brought Fast by J. O. Green, was
absolutely correct.

Horse-Whipped for Good Cause.
Kansas City, Jan. 28. Two young men,
two indiscreet school girls, and two irate
and indignant mothers and two horse
whips are the dramatis personam in a little
drama, one act of which was enacted to-day.
The two boys are George Goodman, an em
ploye in the freight office of the Missouri.
Kansas &Toxas railroad, and Edward Hunt
a special delivery boy employed at the post
office, station A. They have been paying
devoted Mention to two girls, each about,
fifteen yeurs old. who live in the south
western Mart of the city. Both are dauah
tera ot respectable parents. This morning
their respective mothers woke to find their
daughters missing.' When they returned
later, they were questioned and confessed
that they bad spent the night in company
with Goodman and Hunt. The mothers
procured horse-whips, went to the places
of bnslness of the young men and thrashed
both boya vigorously.
BEADY TO INVADE TflE STRIP.
Caldwell, Kan., Thronged with Boomers, Who
Will Trj to Cross the Line To-Daj.
Caldwell, Kan., Jan. 23. Not since the
opening of Oklahoma have such scenes been
enacted upon the streets of this city as were
seen this evening. The streets are
actually crowded with people who
are waiting anxiously for to-morrow's
dawn to march,- for the Cherokee
Strip and take possession of claims. This
is the headquarters of the Dill-O'Connor
colony of Cherokee boomers, and
its members have been flocking
here for two weeks past in anticipa
tion of to-morrow's invasion. Only well
equipped farmers have been admitted
to membership in the colony, andtheboom
ers present a decidedly more prosperous ap
pearance than did the Oklahoma boomers.
The former are well equipped with
brat-class outfits, and all have
enough money to carry them
through the year until harvest time.
The actual movement into the Strip will
be made to-morrow at dawn. A great
many of the boomers are now on the line.
The lumber-yards have all done a boom
ing business for the two weeks past, and
most of the boomers carry enough
lumber with them to build a
shanty. Others have exhausted the
supply of tents in the town, and a tent
cannot be bought to-night for any money.
The stocks of groceries and dry goods have
been exhausted,' and new supplies
have been ordered by express. The
colony at present numbers about two
hundred families. The total membership
of the colony is about 2.500, and those who
are not now on the ground are expected
within the next day or two.
A town was laid out on the line of the
Rock Island road yesterday, and named
Enid. Active building operations were in
progress to-day,and about 200shanties have
been built, - Active building is also going
on at Cherokee City, just across the line.
Alter the invasion to-morrow it will
be a town of sotno hundreds
of inhabitants. The Cherokee Corn i a,
which has until now been issued at this
place, has been moved to Cherokee City,
aud. will be issued from that place
to-morrow. Two regiments of United States
soldiers from Fort Riley are stationed
just south of here. It is not known what
their orders are, whether to maintain order
among the boomers or prevent the contem
plated invasion.

POWDERLYS PROPOSAL REJECTED.
The Federation of Labor Declines to Take
Fart In the Third-Party Movement.
New York, Jan. 23. Tne executive coun
cil of the American Federation of Labor
met here yesterday to disenss tho welfare
and progress of the organization. Secretary
Evans produced the circular which Mr.
Powderly , Issued recently, requesting all
labor organizations to send delegates to a
conference to organize a third party in con
junction with the Farmers Alliam-e. It
was decided to pay no attention to this cir
cular, "for the reason that it is unwise for
a labor organization to meddle with poli
tics." The miners' strike for eight hours, which
is to take place on May 1, was next taken
up. It was resolved to levy an assessment
of 2 cents a week per capita for hve weeks
on the members of all the unions connected
with the federation. This means a total
fund of $70,000. If it should be considered
necessary an appeal will be made to other
labor organizotions not affiliated with the
federation. Secrotary Evans, who is a
miner by trade, said that there were favor
able prospects that the demand for eight
hours would be granted without strikes, as
the employers and employes were holding
conferences all the time, with good results.
Effort to Arrange Carpenters Wage.
Chicago, Jan. 28. The first of a series of
mass-meetlnas of union and non-union car
penters, called for the purpose of forming a
more complete and effective alliance, not
only among themselves, but with other
branches of the building trade, was held
last night ut Bricklayers' Hall. The meet
ing was largely attended. The employers,
it appears, propose to pay SO cents an hour
for the next three years, and ask the union
men to sign an agreement accepting that
sum as the staudard rate of wages for that
time. The nnion men propose to resist this
demand, and are endeavoring to unite all
the carpenters in the city preparatory to
making a demand in the spring that the
rate of wages shall be 45 cents an hour for
the coming year, or with a view to arbi
trate the question of a standard scale of
wages.

Germanj liar Take Oar Bacon and Hams.
Paris, Jan. 23. After the second per
formance of Sardou's 'Thermidor,V last
night there was a riot in the streets near
the theater caused ' by the disorderly con
duct of the extreme partisaus of revolu
tion, who were ejected from the theater.
They hissed the audience as it left the
theater and shouted "Down with bardour
Long live the republic!" In the streets a
free tight followed between the extremists
aud the police, and it was with difficulty
that the latter managed to keep a passage
through the enraged crowd for the audi
ence. The mob surrounded M. Larron-Met,
the director of tine arts, just as he bad
entered his carriage, but he was rescued
by tne police.
1 he theater was besieged by an enormous
crowd this evening, and the mob quickly
packed the house after the doors were
opened. The rising of the curtain was the
signal lor violent rival cries or "Vive iner-
midorl" "A bas Thennidor!" etc. The
tumult increased in violence- until the
younger Coqueljn stepped before the cur
tain and said he was compelled to announce
that the performance would proceed no
further, and that the ticket money would
be returned at the doors. The theater loses
500,000 francs in advance bookings in ad
dition to the cost of mounting the play.
Un hearing of the reception accorded the
play a party of Reactionists overturned the
statue of Danton, the leader in the French
revolution. Tbey did not deface the statne.
but affixed to the pedestal a placard bear

i Ooschen on Foreign Tariffs.
London, Jan. 28. Mr. Goschen, in an ad
dress in the Leeds Chamber of Commerce,
to-day, congratulating the people of
that place on - the general and
steady prosperity of the - district,
said that solid trade was better
than a rush followed by reaction, and that-
the change in foreign tariffs ought not to
disconcert British enterprise. There should
be no scolding or complaining of
foreign countries for pursuing the
course they thought for their
best interest; but in view of
the menace of foreign tariffs to the indus
trial interests of Great Britain, workmen
and employes should try to avoid acrimoni
ous dillerences. Masters and men in cordial
alliance could maintain British commercial
supremacy against all the world. It was
to be hoped that the next budget would
show a continuance of prosperity, but &
surplus founded on an increased consump
tion of alcohol would not give any reason
for congratulation.

A Righteous Measure.
N New Albany Tribune.
The cause of justice and the eternal right
is pending in the United States Senate, em
bodied in the bill to secure fair elections.
It may be defeated now, but it will not stay
defeated. The conscience of the people
will continue to assert itself, and line tho
question of the insolent aggressions of
slavery it will not be settled till
it is settled right. The day must
and will come when ' color and
Republicanism will be no bar to the ballot
box. Kovolution and rebellion in Congress
may stifle the people's voire for a time, bnt
it will he heard aud heeded. This country
will not always permit constitutional rights
to be trampled underfoot because a man ia
black or because he is not a Democrat.
Stanley's Disappointment.

It is not a secret that Stanley has been
grievously disappointed in bis lecturing
tour. His manager had expected that be
would make an unprecedented success, and
that he would enjoy a triumphal progress
through the country, lint 'somehow or
othr things have not gone according to
anticipation. In not a few cass the au
diences have been slim, the receipts light
aud the enthusiasm rather tains. His lect
ures have lacked those features of novelty
and surprise that bad been looked for, and
he bas told many things that had previous
ly lern printed in his books. It is believed
also that the rear guard business has not
been advantageous to the lecturer.
