America nj BOStOu.
Bosrox, March 29.-Among the events
engaging the attention of Boston during
the week has been the ceremonies of the
representatives of the Pueblo Indians, who
for centuries have lived in the territory
embracing Arizona and New Mexico, the
party here consisting Of five leading chiefs
OF the Zuni race, accompanied by Frank II
Cushing, ethnologist oftheSmithsonian In.
stitute, Washington. "Cushing's mission Of
exploring the secrets and dsaCredly cherished
rites anu customs Of the PueblOs, is one Of
the most importantinits ultimate view ever
attempted in this country for knowledge.
He has gained since his adoption 10 the
tribe and its secret orders, clearly establish
ed facts that this race is the oldest on the
American Continent. His researches will,
it is said, throw new light upon MANY
points now not understood, and will soon
begiven the public, for to-day's ceremonies
go tar toward completing his mission.
The Zunis came TO Boston 10 the great
feast with two objects in view. First the

salt water and second, the initiation Of
Cushing into their highest order. known
as the "Kaka." The sacred canes and
gourds contain water taken from the Gulf
OF Mexico by Zunis captives twenty years
ago, and since used drop by drop III cel-
tain sacrificial rights by the tribe accord
ing to fable handed down through Ccn-
turies, The canes must be replenished
by water from the Great Eastern [AtAntic)
when nearly exhausted. Hence to-day's
ceremonies.
The Order into which Cushing was initi-
ated, he had been striving to enter for
nearly three years, its secrets and ancient
legends containing many valuable points
leading up TO the success OF his mission. To-
days proceedings, which were Witnessed
by public officials, many newspaper cor.
respondents aud scientific men, occurred at
Deer Island, in Boston Harbor, and facing

met a miner who had Just returned from
there tonight, who says that he was per,
mitted to attend 4 delegate convention ol
Pittsburgh miners to-day. About i5O del.
egates were in attendance, and d. Il. Jones,
president OF the Miners Association, pre-.
sided. 1t was meeting Of representatives
Of miners along the Monongahela and
"Yough" rivers, and Sandy Creek Valley
and the Pan Handle railroad. It was held
on Penn street, and was called to take &c.
ton regarding the proposed reduction OF
the railroad miners from 1 to 8 cents a
bushel.
River men understand that il the rail.
road miners are reduced that q reduction
in their wages will have to follow. The
question was whether they would sustain
the railroad men, and on that question
there was scarcely division, as nearly all
went in for making the railroad mines the
battle ground. The river miners have
very strong organization, but along the
railroads the Union is weak, although It Is
understood that there are some strong or.
ganizations on the Pan Handle. The strike
that is imminent in that region will be
prolonged and bitter.
Another coal operator, gentleman
largely interested in the Mahoning Valley,
gives the open winter US the main cause Of
the proposed reduction. Chicago is glut.
ted with coal, " he said. William l.. Scott,
Of Erie, has carried over u quarter OF
million dollars worth OF coal, which, in an
ordinary winter, would have been wiped
out by consumption. Other smaller deal.
ers tell the same story, and everywhere
they are loaded down with surplus stock.
PIrTsRURGn, March 20.-Ihe raitroad
coal miners OF Pittsburgh district in con.
vention here to-day, unanimously resolved
to resist any attempt Of the operators to
reduce the price Of mining from cents to
81 cents per bushel. Seventy.fve pits were
represented in the convention, and only u
lew Of these have been notified by the
operators that reduction will be made
April lst. Where such action is taken the
miners will strike.
