HE WAS A BRAVE FELLOW.
.Sketch of Milto ItlKKln , Who Lost lilt Mm
In the Clllllun Hint.
Charles W. Riggin was one of the
American sailors who was brutally mur
dered in the streets of Valparaiso , flis
homo was in Philadelphia , where ho
was well and favorably known as a
steady , ambitious young fellow , who
worked hard to advance himself as a
man-of-warsman. His brother. John L
Riggin , is still living in Philadelphia ,
and has made public the following facts
concerning his brother. Captain W. S
Schloy wrote : "II is with feelings of the
greatest sorrow that 1 have to communi
eato to you the death of your brother ,
Boatswain's Mate Charles W. Rlgarin ,
while on his liberty at this place. Ills
tragio death nt the hands of a mob em
bittered against all Americans baa loft u
wound intho hcarts of his shipmates
that may not soon heal , and the time
wilt soon como when it will bo avenged
by all who remember his worth and his
genial goodi murmurs. I fool more than
ordinary sorrow as the commanding olll-
cor in being the messenger of such sad
intelligence to you. but I can assure you
that his name and his worth will not bo
forgotten as long as honor her records
keep. "
There Is another letter penned by the
boatswain's mate himself during the
heat of the revolution against Balma-
coda. It also indicates what Americans
have suffered in Chili.
"I think it might interest you , " ho
says , "to hear something of the war
hero. Valparaiso was captured on the
28th by the rebels after a terrible light.
But it never would have boon taken
only that the government troops deserted -
sorted by the wholesale to the other
side. The feeling against the govern
ment is intense. Wo are the only na
tion standing by thorn. The harbor is
full of foreign men-of-war and all the
ships are loaded with refugees. Wo are
crowded. It was a great sight to see
the city captured , but the slaughter was
simply awful. Evo-y one captured is
killed. They don't know what paroling
a prisoner is down here.
"Talk about the fooling against us !
All the warships got cheered , but wo
are hissed and cursed. But wo can stand
It. Wo have 100 men ashore protecting
the American consulate , and if they
harm a hair of any of their heads there
will bo trouble. Wo know what it is to
have a good fighting ship. They call
us the 'White Devil , ' and well they
may. "
Riggin's brother and sisters , Mrs.
Mary Ximmormun and Mrs. Ellen
Matthews , have administered' upon Iho
affairs of their dead relative and have ,
ut the requestor the Navy department ,
forwarded to Washington his discharge
papers of former cruisers and otlior doc
uments.
The modal which ho earned on the
Tennessee boars on its face the inscrip
tion , "O. S. C.No. 5,791 , Charles W.
Riggin , U. S. S. Tennessee , February
10 , 1887 , " surrounded by the words , "Fi
delity. Zeal , Obedience. " On the reverse -
verse Is the figure of the old ship Con
stitution inclosed in a circle of chain and
anchor.
The body of the botswnln's iniito lies
with that of ills follow victim , William
Turnbull , In the British cemetery at

AN INDIA RUBBER NAVY.
Tltn i\-Auillti ; > r or Inilliiim Thinks Iron
Must ( llvo Wny to Itnltlx-r.
As the man was going out of the big
hotel ho whispered in sepulchral tones ;
"Colonel Rico is not right in his upper
story ho is clean daft. "
In a few minutes I saw the full-moon ,
jocund face of Colonel .lames Tl. Rico ,
ox-auditor of Indiana , coming from the
elevator , says a writer in the Now York
Times. Ho looked perfectly sane , and
I nskcd him who his friend was that had
"That ' ' said the
just departed. man ,
colonel , "is a promoter and has not
given mo a minute's rest since 1 arrived
in the city. 1'vo just lot him in on the
ground lloor of an idea of mine and have
shown him illustrations of it. 1 offered
to have him elected vice president of a
comp.tny that is not formed. If my idea
is put into execution it will revolution
ize naval warfare , and an ironclad will
be as harmless ns a barge carrying a
load of Sunday school excursionists. "
The colonel invited mo to his room ,
where I saw a number of illustrations in
the rough of queer looking ships. I
asked him to explain them. His eyes
beamed with pleasure as ho proceeded
to elucidate his ideas. "Tho cuts , " ho
said , t"represent war vessels armored
with tough India rubber. Each vessel
is protected with rubber seven feet in
thickness and with enough give or
elasticity to it to send the largest Dull
over fired against it bounding back into
the water. 1 admit that the common
rubber is not of sulllcicnt toughness to
resist the impact of the ordinary cannon
ball , but mind you , the rubber 'l intend
to use is not common. Every man who
makes an innovation and relegates es
tablished methods to the past is the beginning -
ginning considered a crank. But I do
mind any llttlo epithet of that kind. "
"What is the tall spire in the vessel ? "
"That " said scientific colonel "
, the , "is
the loolcout. It is a tower that can bo
telescoped in a second to the surface of
the vessel's deck , and erected in the
same space of time. It is 800 feet high.
There is only one smokestack and it can
be taken down in a minute. Cannons ?
Ah ! that is a secret , but I shall tell you
because you arc not a promoter. In the
rear of the vessel is a turret tower witli
four destructive guns. You don t see
it , oh ? Well , neither do I , but , if the
enemy appeared , by manipulating ma
chinery there would rise from the hull
of the vessel a turret , protected by india
rubber and ready to sink a ( loot of iron
eluds. Everything on the deck of my
India rubber vessel can bo dropped bu-
low in a few moments. "
"Have you ever studied that branch
of mathematics which treats of trajec
tory ? "
The colonel had , and added : "My
boy , a ball dropped on the dock of ono of
my vessels would bound a mlle high.
There is absolutely no powder or force
strong onouKh to drive a ball into the
ubbor. "
"Ono moro question , colonel. How
long have had this peculiar elastic
idea. "
"It came to mo as an inspiration five
years ago' . I was in Chicago and a
woazoned-facod man with a voice that
sounded like the noise made by tearing
calico made life miserable to mo. Ho
had a scheme , and for a week ho became -
came my shadow , trying to get mo to go
Into it. I worked out the indiu rubber
vessel and for three hours I earnestly
oxplalhud to him the fortune in it if ho
would accept the vice prosldonoy. From
that time ho has never said 'scheme' tome
mo again. I have shown it to dozens of
promoters , and have talked so much
about It that I really think some kind
of rubber can bo made to resist and throw
back cannon balls , "
"Ilavo you mentioned your idea to
General Tracy , secretary of the navy "
"I am a democrat , " said the colonel
proudly. "You wait until a democratic
president Is elected. "

NORTHWESTERN INDIANS.
Snppnliig Them l.lko Wllil-l'lra
from the Country.
M. M. Cowloy , ] ) rosldent of the
Tradors' National bunkSpoknnoWnsh. ,
arrived hero yostortlay and is at the
Occidental , says the San Francisco Ex
aminer. Mr. Cowloy has been for many
years a pioneer of the northwest. In
18U2 ho established a post tradorsltip at
the plnco now known as Cowloy'sbrldtro ,
on tlio Spoknno river , and then bought
and handled furs obtained by the Calls-
pol , Spokane , Ca > ur d Aleno and Colum
bia river Indians. Ho remained there
and on the Kootonai river , where ho
was also engaged In buying furs , 1511
three years ago , when ho wont into
banking. Ho is ono of the best Informed
men on all mntlcrs porluining lo the In
dians in the northwest.
"Thoy are all dying off rapidly. " said
Mr. Cowloy yesterday. "In a very short
time wo shall have no Indians. Take
the Ca'tir d'Alones , for instance. 1 was
among them for a long time. They have
a magnificent reservation and flno farms
and good houses , but the houses tire kill
ing them. They can't stand roofs. List ;
week they got Iho money for a portion
of Ibis reservation not used by them. It
amounted to $1,100 apiece. There are
only about 1,200 of them , and Iho chil
dren and old ones , lee , are dying till the
lime. Old Chief Garry , ono'of Ihe war
riors of Alpowa , who fought against
Colonel Sloploo in that famous wardied
just before 1 left. They are all going
fast.
fast."In
"In 1802 , when I was located on the
Spokane , river , there were immense
baiuls of the Canir d'Aicno , Calispol ,
Spokane and Columbia River Indian
about thore. They wore engaged steadily
"
ily in hunting and" trapping all kinds o
wild animals. I bought black and silver
gray fox skins of tnom at $1,60 and $2
apiece , 600 martins a year at $10 each
llsnor _ , grizzly , black boar , beaver and
other kinds'of slcins without number.
Then the whites inul not encroached on
them , nnd they were robust and
healthy.
"It is a mistake to try and civilize
them. Civilization kills , and the gov
ernment , when it does it , puts itself in
the position of murdering Ihom. They
must bo wild or they are nothing. They
cannot exist at all. If wo keep on civil
izing them wo shall have no Indians.
Apparently thlo is somothini.r the gov
ernment will not understand.
"Another thing the government has
done that neither moots the approba
tion of the Indians generally , nor of the
whiles of the northwest , und that , is the
awarding of $1,000 n year lo old Chief
Moses , in addition to former concessions ,
and similar sums lo different chiefs.
Old Moses has , with his own hand ,
killed several whlto men tin there
shot them down barbarously. Then
old Chief Joseph of the Noz Porces has
also been given a good fat annual bum.
Such injustices as those create Indigna
tion among the Indians. Several of
them have told mo lately that no Indian
who was decent and respectable could
got anything of the government. Ilo
had lo bo a murderer. Then ho was a
hero and could got whatever ho
wanted. " J
Mr. Cowloy was ono of these spoken
of by Washington Irving nnd olhors as
belonging lo Iho class known as in
dependent traders among the In
dians. He has has , during more
than twenty-live years that ho was en
gaged in it , acquired a comfortable
fortune , and Is now content to sotllo
down in a cily.

DEATH VALIEY.

Continent.
The most fatally famous part of tlio
groal American desert is Death Valley
in California. There IH on till the gloto
no other spot moro forbidding , morn
de.iolatc. more deadly. It is n uoncun *
tration of the horrors of that whole
hideotiH area ; and it has n bitter his
tory , writes C. F. Lummis In Si. Niche

las.Ono
Ono of Iho most interesting and
graphic stories 1 over listened to was
that related to mo several years ago by
ono of the survivors of the famous Dentil
Valley party ot 1819 the Ro.1. . W.
Brier , an aged Methodist clergyman
now living in California. A party of1
600 emigrants starlet ! on the last day of '
September , 1819 , frbm the southern cml
I'tali to eross the desert to the , then of
new , mines of California. There were
103 canvas-topped wagons , drawn by
sturdy oxon. beside which trudged tbo
shaggy men , rillo in hand , while under
the canvas rode tbo women and chlldroiu
In a short time there was division of
opinion as to the proper route across !
that pathless waste In front ;
and next day five- wagons and
their people wont east to roach
Santa Fo ( whence there were dim Mexi
can tr.iils to Los Angeles ) , and the rest
plunged boldly into the des-ert , The
party which w ont by the way of Santa
Fo reached California In December after
ya-st sufferings. The larger company
traveled in comfort for a few days until
they reached about where Pie rio ; now
is. Then they entered the I.and ot
Thirst and for moro than three months
wandered lost in that realm of horro"y
It was almost impossible to get w.igoiA >
through a country furrowed \vlth _ ean > ,
ons ; so tboy soon abandoned their vti 1
hides , packing what they could upon
the backs of the oxon. Tboy struggled
on to glittering lakes , only to find them
deadly poison , or but a , mirage upon
barren sands. Now and then n wee
spring in the mountains gave them now
life. Ono by one Iho oxen droppedday
by day Iho buanly Hour ran lower. Nine
young men who separated from the roht ,
bolng stalwart and unencumbered wilb
families , reached Death Valley ahead of
the others and were lost. Tliolr bonus
were found many years later by Gover
nor Blalsdoll and his surveyors , who
gave Death Valley its name.
The valley lies in Iny7 > county , and is
about one hundred and iifty milelong. | .
In width it tapers from tlireo miles at
its southern end to thirty at the
northern. It is ever Iwo hundred foot
below the level of the sea. The main
party crossed it about the middle- ,
where it is but a few miles wide , but
suffered frightfully Ihoro. Day by day
pome of their number sank upon Iho
burning sands never to riso. The sur
vivors were too weal ; to help tlio fallen.
Tlio strongest of the whole party w u
nervous , llttlo Mrs. Brier , who had como
lo Colorado an invalid , and who share- '
with her boys of four , seven and
years of ago that indescribable trattrp
of nine hundred miles. For the las } ,
three weeks she had to lift her athlolio
husband from the ground every mornIng -
Ing , nnd steady him n few moments be
fore ho could stand. She gave help to
wasted giants any ono ol whom a few
months before , could have lifted her
with ono hand.
At last the few survivors crossed tlio
rauiro which shuts off that most dread
ful of desorls from the garden of the
world , and were tenderly nursed to
health nt llio hacienda , or ranch hoiihu ,
of a courtly Spaniard. Mr. Brier had
lost ono hundred pounds in weight , and
the others woro' thin in proportion.
When I saw him last ho was a halo old
man of seventy-live , cheerful and active ,
but with stranjro furrows in his face to
loll of lhoo bvgono sufferinirs. flis
heroic little wlfo" was slill living , and
the boys , who had had .such a bitter ex
perience ns perhaps no other boys ever
survived , are now stalwart men.
