fights with the Indians during 1870 and
1871, and in all of these the Fifth in
fantry took an active part.
In 1S74-5 the Indian difficulties be-
gan in earnest. Gen. Miles went out
at the head of a combined cavalry and
infantry force against the Indians of
Camp Supply, Indian Territory. They
came upon the Indians near the head
waters of the .Washitaa and had fierce
running fight for several days. This
was in August, 1874 e
On Sept 8, of the same year, the In
dams attacked Gen. Miles supply train,
and on the 18th and 18th the Indians
harassed some of his scouting parties
and killed several men. On Nov. 8,
near McClelland creek, Texas, a party of
Gen. Miles soldiers attacked a large
camp of Indians, routing them with a
loss of much of their property.
The military operations against the
hostiles of the Indian territory we're
continued during the winter and spring
of 1875. Gen. Miles had command of
the entire expedition. In speaking of
this campaign Gen. Sheridan said: "In
the campaign against the Cheyennes,
Kiowas and Comanches, the ,ringlead-
ers and worst criminals were separated
from the tribes and sent to Fort Ma

RUSSIAN SPIRITS
NOW MONOPOLIZED
Vodka" and All Other Liquors Are Re-
strcted as to Sale.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 8.-With the
exception of few remote districts. the
state spirits monopoly is now univer-
sally in force throughout the Russian en-
pire, and though vodka or corn
brandy. the national drink. is the spirit
in force, all spirits and liquors are more
or less affected
The monopoly was first applied by way
of experiment in a portion of European
Russia. and since 1895 has been gradually
extended to the remainder of the en-
says the fiscal objects of the measure are
stated to be wholly secondary, it's pri-
mary end being to diminish drunken
ness among the peaSantry and release
them from the tyranny and extortions
of the tavern keepers.
Under the monopoly system the gov
eminent makes certain regulations.
Vodka and drinks of any description can
only be obtained by retail sellers from
government depOtS or distillers. Some OF
the existing private diStillerieS. now I'M
der government control, also supply the
government. under strict terms and regu-
lations, with the exact quality of spirit
required.
All private liquor taverns of the lower
sort, whether in towns or villages, sell
ing liquor to be consumed on the prem
ises or otherwise are closed.
With regard to the disabilities and
losses entailed by the state spirit mo-
nopoly on private retail sellers OF vodka
who also deal in foreign spirits and
wines, the government. as already stat
ed grants to these private establish
ments a commission, but under the strict
regulations this is found hardly at all
remunerative. The few large first class
private establishments dealing more in
foreign wines and spirits are not so much
concerned.

SOUTHERN BLACKS DON'T
WANT SOCIAL EQUALITY
Say They Are Safer in South, Where
Ministers Do Not incite.

MADISON, Ga, Aug. S.-Resolutions
adopted by the conference of the Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal church, in
session here. commend the white peo-
pie of the South for refusing the ne
groes social equality, and declare the
South the best place for the negro. The
resolutions are in part as follows:
I'VE commend the Southern white
man because he refuses to let negroes
drink at his founts, eat in his cafes, and
sleep in his hotels, for the following
reasons:
1T forces the negro to build his own
resorts, teaches him business; and turns
flood of money to negro vaults and
bank accounts. 1t gives his boy and
girl work and establishes thrift and
economy.
I'VE find that wholesale butchery of
negroes has gained a stronghold in the
North,where it is being cited and urged
by some who claim heirship to the min
istry and place among Gods people.
I'VE believe, after carefully recalling
facts that the negro is as safe in the
South as in the North, or safer-safer
because he can earn a living in any
avocation in the South that he pos
sesses ability to do; safer, because no
Southern preacher is on record as hav-
ing pleaded to 5000 people to burn a
human being"

When the milling interests were
transferred to Minneapolis. the fame
of the Como elevator began to fade
away. Much larger elevators were
erected. and the business done in St
Paul was handled by the Minneapolis
houses.
In 1890 the Great Northern purchased
the Como property, and once again 1t
was transformed into an active grad

But little grain was handled. and few
months ago it was decided to tear the

forming a line at right angles with the
breastWOrks, swept off the enemy, re-
capturing Meningitis guns, and retook
a considerable portion of his line
Again Hancock said: "At this time
Gen. Miles and Gen. Gregg offered to
retake their breastWorks entire, but
Gen. Gibbons stated that his division
could not retake any of his lines"
During the operations from Oct. 25
to Oct. % Gen. Miles held a line several
miles in length with a little more than
5000 men. For his services in this
campaign he was recommended to be
made major general by brevet.
Gen. Miles was in the Appomattox

to Col. Bowers, in which he said: Il
have just heard from Gen. Miles. He
attacked what was left of Heth's and
WiIcoxs divisions at SOutherland Sta
ton and routed them, capturing about
1000 prisoners"
Later on the same day Gen. Grant
wrote to Gen. Meade: Miles has made
a big thing of it and deserves the high
est praise for the pertinacity with
which he stuck to the enemy until he
wrung from him victory"
After the war Gen. Miles was ap-
pointed commander of the military dis
trict of Fort Monroe. 1t was during
this service Gen. Miles held Jefferson
Davis, the president Of the Confederacy,
as a prisoner. He served during the
reconstruction period in the Second

of North and South Carolina, and was
