Washington, Nov. 22.-President
Roosevelt arrived here at eight
o'clock yesterday morning. Before
ten o'clock he reached his office in
the executive building and began at
once to dispose Of o mass of BUSH
ness which had accumulated during
his absence. Prior to the meeting
Of the cabinet, which had been called
for II o'clock, the president found
time to hold brief interviews with
Senators Burrows, Of Michigan;
Scott, of West Virginia, and Lodge,
Of Massachusetts.
During the next four or five days,
as opportunity may offer, the presi-
dent will put the finishing touches
upon his annual message to congress.
1t is announced that the message will
be sent to congress on the second day
of the approaching session, Tuesday,
December 2, owing to the fact that
deaths of members Of both houses
have occurred during the recess,
which will necessitate adjournment
on Monday. During the early days
Of next week the president will con-
suit on parts of his message with
republican leaders in congress, pre-
with regard to tariff, trusts
nd Cuban reciprocity.

yHB AMERICAN FEDERATION.
Conflicting Claims Of Jurisdiction Occupied
Its Time Yesterdsy-Pressnt Executive
Omcsn Likely TO BE Elected.

New Orleans, Nov, 22.-Arguments
long drawn out in support Of conflict
ing claims Of jurisdiction occupied
the time of the American Federation
Of Labor yesterday. In the morning
1t was the row between the wood
workers and the carpenters and be-
tween the woodworkers and piano
workers. In the afternoon it was
between the longshoremen and the
seamen. All the disputes ended in
the same manner. Everyone was re-
ferred to q special committee which
Is to meet within given time and
endeavor to reach solution which
will be agreeable to both sides.
The committee on organization has
decided to report to the convention
in favor Of organizing the teachers
of the public schools into unions.
The report has not, however, been
made to the convention. The eight
hour committee met at night and
decided to recommend to the con.
vention the passage Of national
eight-hour law.
In the election Of officers, which is
to be held to-day, it is highly prob.
able that all the present executive
officers of the federation will be

Others Arc Suffering from Inhaling
Gases at the Engleyille Mine.


! Trinidad, COL, Nov. 9s.-The Engle-
lille coal mine, six miles south Of
Trinidad, owned by the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company, is on fire and the
fire is reported beyond control, Two
men have lost their lives and several
others are suffering from inhalation
of the poisonous gases. The fire
started Thursday near an abandoned
air shaft, 800 feet from the mouth of
the slope. 1t was not considered Sc.
rious and yesterday morning 1870 men
were sent into the mine. Soon the
deadly smoke and gas reached the
men and they fled for the open air.
Many were overcome, but all but two
were rescued by their comrades.
Peralto was near the mouth of the
slope and his body was recovered,
but the other victim is farther back
and the dense smoke which fills the
entire mine makes rescue impossi-
BILE. the mine is being flooded, but
so far the fire has steadily gained
Roadway.
The Engleville mine is one of the
largest in Colorado and has been pro-
ducing 1,4OO tons per day. It IL feared
the present fire will ruin the mine.

PREVENTS SPREAD OF FIRE.
The Luxfer Prisms Stands Heat and Are
Practically Fire Proof

One Of the most interesting fire tests
ever made In this city, which took
place on Thursday, has established be-
yond all doubt that the equipment Of
buildings with Luxfer prisms Is very
effective preventive against the spread
Of Are. On an open lot brick furnace
was built, in two sides Of which were
placed three different kinds Of glass
windows, one Of the metallic sashes
containing Luxfer prisms, another
plate glass cut into square segments
and Joined together with copper ribs
or strips In the same manner as the
prisms, and the third ordinary window
glass, which was ribbed with copper
In the same way.
A roaring fire Of pine logs which was
built within the furnace, generated q
heat Of over 1000 degrees, according to
an official test with pyrometer. The
fire was of such intensity that ordinary
panes Of plate or window glass would
have broken within minute after the
blaze was klndled, but for hours the
windows Of the furnace withstood the
tremendous heat The glass contracted
and bulged inward from two to four
inches and the window glass was es-
peclally warped and twisted. Although
the prlsms and the plate and window
glass cracked, they were held solidly
together by the copper ribs and pre-
vented the fire within from breaking
through. 1t was demonstrated that the
copper ribs not only held the glass to-
gether. but acted as heat conductor
nnu u band OF outlaws, OF WHICH nc
was the leader, broke into store at
and murdered the manager.
Two Of the robbers were killed next

killed Pablo Salcido, who was going
up the mountain side to persuade him

An Attempt 70 Make the Red Nan
Work for His Living.
GIVING THEN RlTIoIS DlNORALIzINC


Washington, Nov. 22.-Commis
sioner of Indian Affairs Jones, in
his annual report, estimates that the
government, from its foundation to
1890, spent SS45,275.29O in fighting,
subduing and controlling the Indians
OF the country and $24O,000,OOO for
the education and care of their chill
dren.
"The extent and demoralizing ef-
fects of the ration system evil" says
the commissioner in explaining his
policy OF abolishing the system,
were generally recognized and uni
versally condemned, except, per-
haps, by a mistaken philanthropy,
which, ignoring the natural law that
man must earn his living by the
sweat Of his brow, would exempt
the Indian from labor and carry him
upward on flowery beds Of ease. 1t
was felt that it was time for
change. Heretofore dealing has been
with the tribe; it is now with the in
dividual. His manhood is appealed
to and he is to be taught self-reliance
and self-respect, and to put his hand
to the pillow If he would work. Moth
ing Is further from the truth than
the assertion that the plan is to hire
out adult male Indians as contract
laborers. The results of the policy
have been favorable even beyond ex-
peCtations and there is every reason
to believe that the final success Of
the plan, II carried out judiciously,
is assured. As . first result over Ia
900 lave been dropped from the ra-
ton roll, being wholly self-support-
ing. As second result a large num-
Der Of Indians have been put to work,
or work has been found for them"
Concerning the order directing the
agents to encourage the discontin-
ance of the Indians custom of wear
ing long hair, painting, etc, Mr..
Jones says the reports on the sub
ject by the agents are all in and
that the concensus of opinion ex-
pressed is "that it is step forward
and in the right direction"
The report advocates that agen-
ries and portions Of agencies be
placed under the charge of bonded
superintendent Of training schools,

practicable and, according to the
commissioner, giving better admins
ration than when the same agencies

all other types Of Eczema, is due to acid

It is the acids thrown off by the blood
