HE HAD A CLOSE CALL.
Major General Miles ThrrIing Encounter
With Lame Deer.


Major General Miles ThrnIing Encountss
With Lame Deer.
Probably the closest call General
Miles ever had in all his experience AS
an Indian fighter was that in his en-
counter with Lame Deer 1t was in
1877, when he was still a colonel. dur
ing his campaign against the Sioux and
other hostile tribes in the northwest
Lame Deer and his outlaws had been
making trouble in Dakota, and Colonel
Miles raided their village He tells the
rest of the story in his personal recollec-
tions thus:
lin the surprise and excitement of
the wild onses of the charge a group Of
warriors was forced away from the rest
Before making the attack had ordered
our Sioux and Cheyenne Indians to call
out to the Lame Deer Indians that if
they threw down their arms and sur
rendered we would spare their lives. As
we galloped up to this group Of warriors
they apparently recognized the purport
Of the demand and dropped their arms
ON the ground. In order to assure them
Of our good will 1 called out, How

others, rs, although he was wild and
trembling with excitement, my adju-
tant, George w. Baird, was doing the
same with the head warrior, Iron Star.
Unfortunately just at that time one
Of our white scouts rode up and Joined
the group of officers and soldiers with

erection and, presume, desired to insure

quent act than the belief that he was to
be killed whether he surrendered or not.
AS quick as thought, with one des-

movement the horse slightly settled back

rife flashed within ten feet of me, the
bullet whizzed past my breast, leaving
me unframed, but unfortunately killing
a brave soldier near my side.
Naturally the whole scattered band
Of Indians was instantly wiped out by a
close and deadly fire from the soldiers
The incident is typical Of the whole
series of Indian campaigns in which
General Miles figured in the last quarter
of a century. The desire to treat the
redskins as fellow men, constantly
thwarted by the natural suspicious Of
the savages themselves, is apparent all
through the book.

NO SEALS ON JAPANESE ISLANDS.
So "A Proposition Was Made To Bring the
MkiI<ado tn Agreement

|
Mkikado tn Agreement
One Of the japanese delegates made il
clear that Japan had more interest in
catching seals than in preserving them.
Moreover, 1t appears that Japan no
longer had any fur seals, although her
possession Of sea otters-an animal like
the seals-was considerable. When ia
pans attitude was thus defined the gem
eral feeling with the conference was that
the United States and Russia were unit
ed in the view Of protecting the seals by
energetic measures, while Great Britain
and Japan occupied substantially tie
opposite position.
Owing TO Japans view OF the subject
the opinion of the seal experts was .alG
before the Japanese delegates. This
opinion was TO the effect that while ia
pans seal possessions were little or moth
ing at the present time, yet that by ade-
quate protection Of the seals her deci-
mated rookeries would be restored. This
expert view appears TO have been con-
vincing on the japanese delegates. for
Fujita cabled the final proposition TO
Japan, and accompanied il with his ia
vorable accommodation.
Throughout the deliberations there
was no evidence of a desire to make an
issue with Great Britain, or To take any
action offensive in character or likely to
summary abridge her rights 1t was
recognized by the conferrees that as the
high seas were governed by the we'll
established rules of international law,
no step should be taken in limiting
seal-killing on the high seas without
endeavoring TO secure the cooperation
of all parties concerned. particularly
Great Britain. Instead therefore. of the
proposition taking the form of decisive
move by the three governments in OPP
position to Great Britain il was framed
on the theory that the three powers had
an actual interest in the seals which
were bred on their islands, and that all
other governments should aid in the pro-
lection of this property, even when ii
was found on the high seas.
II was felt that when the three pow
ers owning the seals made such an
agreement as to protecting their prop
erty Great Britain would be likely to
cooperate In this purpose IL she could
induce Canada, where the sealing fleets
are equipped. to accept IL. The PROPOSE
tion, therefore, does not exclude consid-
Grafton of Engltnd, or invite an issue
with her, but on the contrary seeks TO
have her join hands with all the powers
Interested in common defense against
the indiscriminate slaughter OF the seals

guage IL may be stated here that the

owns" seals any more than IL owns

THE GOLD DEMOCRATS.


Working Hard To Keep the Honest Money
Men In Line.
The activity which the gold Demo
Gratis are showing in the states in which
they have tickets in the field has pro-
found significance in its bearing on
the congressional canvass of 1898 and
the presidential campaign Of 1900. Or
dinariiy but little interest is taken in
politics in the year Immediately sue
ceeding presidential contest. The ten
sion and excitement Of a struggle for
president creates an exhaustion which
usually is not overcome until the con-
gressional election two years later.
Thus the elections which occur ~
months after the big contest seldom
arouse general interest throughout the
country. Moreover, the elections in
those years are comparatively few and
unimportant and thus help to augment
the general apathy
Naturally this apathy hits third
party-and the gold Democracy, not
withstanding the actual historical con-
tinuity which it holds to the party Of
jefferson and jackson, will have to be
called third" party until the MAORI
ty end of il drops Organism and gets
back to it's old ground on the money
issue-harder than it does either Of the
great organizations. The gold Demo
Gratis, however, in such states as Ohio,
Kentucky, Nebraska and Iowa, in which
they have tickets in the field, are re-
vealing a greater earnestness than they
displayed last year and undoubtedly
will poll larger vote than was given
to Palmer in those states. The gold
Democratic demonstration in the spring
election in Michigan, in which that
element cast five times as many votes as
were given to Palmer in that state half
a year earlier encouraged it to make a
powerful rally in the fall elections.
A large vote for the gold Democratic
tickets in the elections few weeks
hence will incite that party to put up
state tickets and congressional candi-
dates in 1898 and will prepare the way
for a vigorous canvass on its part in
1900. The Bryanites are sure to make a
fight in 1900, and the finance ques-
ton in some phase or other is going to
be involved in the canvass. Probably
the Bryanites will all have dropped to
greenbackism by that time. Bryan has
been stumping Iowa with his fellow
greenbacker, James B. Weaver, who was
the Greenback party's presidential can
didate in 1880 and the standard bearer
Of that party's Populist descendants i'll
1892, when Bryan stumped and voted
for him. The Bryan Democrats will
have to get one more crushing defeat
before they drop their financial and So
cial lunacies and follies, and it is to the
country's interest that the Palmer and
Cleveland Democrats maintain their or
ganization and keep the honest money
men of their party from drifting to Bry

ORIGIN OF "RESTAURANT."
An Interesting Pathological Fact From
France.

France.
The French author. Maurice Cabs, re-
Gently published III La Republique
Franchise an essay about the restaurants
and eating houses Of Paris, relating
many interesting details. His story of
how the term "restaurant" was first
used is we'll worth repeating. For a long
time inns and eating houses i'll France
were only intended for the benefit of
travelling people, for the people took
their meals at home. and restaurants
were unknown. The first enterprise of
the kind was founded in Paris III 1865.
4 citizen by the name Of Boulanger
opened in the Rue DIES Poulies an eating
house where soup, meat fowl and eggs
were served A chronicler relates that
meals were served there on small, round,
marble tables, and everything was scru-
pulously clean.
Over the entry to this first eating
house the proprietor had hung sign,
upon which were the Latin words, I've
mite ad me omnes que stomacho labora-
tbs, ct ego restaurabo vos" Come unto
me all We whose stomachs need attention,
and will restore them. This is par
ody on the we'll known Biblical quota
ton. Come unto me all We who labor
and are heavy laden, and Twill give you
rest, only in place Of labor and heavy
laden he said, whose stomachs need at
tention. The word 'restaurabo, from
the Latin 'restaurare" (restore or re-
fresh), was the main characteristic of the
new establishment and gave it its name.
Boulanger amassed a large fortune, for
his enterprise proved eminently success
full, but he was soon initiated, some of
his imitators becoming more famous
than he, like Borel, at whose place 100
years ago meals could be had for 100
francs $500 per cover.

Important Agreement.
Washington. Oct. 29.--In reliable quar-
tiers IL IL stated that the conference be-
tween Russia, Japan and the United
States. now proceeding here in reference
TO sealing in the Behring sea and the
North Pacific, has advanced TO an inn
portant stage. and that a proposition
accepted. will bring about a complete
change in the sealing question. The
proposition is said TO be acceptable to
the United States. IL is understood to
be acceptable similarly to the Russian
delegates now here, but in view OF the
restrictions placed upon them by their
credentials ii has been thought desira
BILE to cable to ST. Petersburg for final
instructions. The japanese delegates
are understood to have felt at first that
the proposition would not be in their in
terest, but on fuller conference Fujita
determined 10 cable the substance of
the proposition TO his government, ac-
campaigning II with a recommendation
for its acceptance.
Proposition That Has Been Made.
From reliable sources ii is understood
that the proposition provides for the
material limitation or entire suspension
OF pelagic sealing-or sealing on the
high seas. Such decisive step, il
agreed to by Russia. Japan and the
United States would, IL is understood
would not involve any concerted move
to menace the claims OF Great Britain
and Canada to the right OF taking seals
on the high seas, but would rather
be proposition expressive OF the con-
illusions of the three most interested
powers that in the interests OF humanity
and the preservation Of the seal herds
OF their respective governments, all
MISUNDERSTANDING Great Britain and
her colony, Canada-should unite TO pre-
serve the seals.
AnglO-Russian Modus Nivendi.
In the case Of Russia il developed
that TO some extent her action was con-
ditioned by a modus vivendi made be-
tween Great Britain and Russia about
the time the Paris court OF arbitrati
was sitting and covering the course OF
those two countries concerning the fur
seals on Russian islands and surround
ing waters. But little had been known
OF this modus until the conference met.
Under IL a zone Of neutral water is es-
tabished thirty miles wide surrounding
the Russian islands, within which Great
Britain agreed to suspend pelagic seal
ing. While this was Of material ad-
vantage to Russia it was felt that any
proposition for the entire suspension Of
pelagic sealing, even beyond thirty
miles. would have 10 be reconciled with
the modus vivendi.

SUBSCRIBING STEAMERS.
Success Of This Plan Of Commercial De-
velopment In Germany.

The Frankfurter Zeitung of July /,
referring to the shipping returns of
Hamburg in 1896, said that statistical
tables show that in consequence of the
cessation of some English carrying trade
and of the founding of their own direct
lines of steamers, for the first time in
1896, the tonnage of German ships has
surpassed that of Great Britain. For
merly England possessed, in registered
tonnage, 40 per cent of all flags But
since 1898 the figures are as follows:
