A Proposed Monetary Conference.

PARIS, Dec. Recommendations which
M. Rlbot, minister Of foreign affairs, has.
been exchanging with the United States
and European governments, point to the.
arrangement of an International monetary
conference. The English government,
however, appears likely to offer objections
to such conference, based on futility of
previous conferences. If no meeting Of
powers is agreed upon, powerful financial
influence will be brought to bear upon.

Latin monetary union, and from the
United States, Mexico, ard other silver
countries to meet in Paris and discuss the

To Relieve the Financial Depression

" T4.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The cabinet
meeting yesterday considered the financial
condition of the country, and as a result
the president, it is understood, will send a
message to congress early next week sug-
costing as a measure of relief the enact-
ment OF legislation for the issue of
addltlonal currency based on the increased
purchase of silver.
SECRETARY WINDOWS METHOD
Secretary Window, who is in New YORK;
city to-day comforting with bankers as to
the pest method of offering prompt relief,
Is said to favor the purchase of the present
STOCK OF silver, amounting to about 13.OOO.-
wv ounces, and purchases also Of an addi-
tlonal amount equal to the annual require
ment OF national bank notes estimated at
S20'oOo,oVO thereby adding about $SO,OOO,-
OO to circulation. I'D
POWERS AMENDMENT.
Senator Power to-day introduced a pro-
posed amendment to the bill to reduce the
amount OF United States bonds to be re-
CURED by national banks,.s as to provide
that whenever the notes retired under the
existing laws of national banks shall ap-
gregate $l,OOO,00O it shall be the DUTY Of
the secretary of the treasury to purchase
silver bullion to the amount of 81, OO.OO
and to pay for the same with United
States notes, to b. issued precisely the
same as provided for under the act Of con-
gress approved July 12, 1890.
TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR,
A misplaced parenthesis has caused an
unlntentlonal error in the provisions of the
Mckinley tariff act. The committee. in
framing the law, intended that Irvine com
posed of sisal, sun and other grasses
should be dutiable at two cents a pound
and as a separate rate of duty was Inn
posed on binding Irvine, the committee, to.
make this clear, intended that the words
Except binding twine'' should be enclosed,
IN parenthesis i'm Immediately following the
word ".twine." The parenthesis, however.
was misplaced so as to read Except bind
lngt Irvine composed of sisal, sun and other
grasses" 1t was commended that this had
me effect OF making only binding Irvine.

Mr,NEAPoLIs, MISS., November o.
A Standing Rock Agency IN. d.
special from Bismarck TO the Tribune
says: Major McLsughlin's visit to Sit
ting Bulls camp last Sunday had the
effect Of stopping for time at least the
ghost-dances held in connection with
the Messiah craze. Major Mclaughlin
received a letter from Sitting Bull
yesterday, who says he has taken his
friends advice and stopped the dances.
He regards Major Mclaughlin as the
best friend he ever had T; when he follows
his advice he never makes mistake.
Sitting Bulls child is very sick or he
would come TO the agency to-day to draw
his rations. He hopes soon TO see his
friend, Major Mclaughlin, soon II the
child RECEIVERS. Sitting Bulls followers
are growing less all the time, and that
disoourages the old chief. The agent
thinks there is no probability of trouble
at present and may not be this winter or
spring.
WORKING HARD FOR PEACE.
He is working hard with Ia corps Of able
assistants and he makes strong nrgu-
ments against the craze, talks to them
singly and conyinces them that there is
no foundation for their belief. Seven or
eight Of them it is not worth while to talk
to and the rest OF the baDd-about 100
he can draw away from Sitting Bull by
argument. The agent is very successful
in his methods Of winning the Indians
away from the craze. The people on
the east side of the river are fleeing for
their lives and 10 man is III pursuit.
The excitement is all unwarranted.
The reports Of massacre forty miles
south Of tho agency are believed to be
uniounded Lieutenant CrOwder and
men, with an abundance of ammunition
and rations for three days, will cross the
river early tomorrow morning TO make q
tour of the country said 10 be infested
with Indians. The agent refused to de-

bucks were along.

A Snake Swallows Baby's Arm.

George Wharton, of Brown county,
tells blood curdling snake story. Mrs.
William Huxelly, living in log cabin,
was making soap in the back yard, hav-
ing kissed her sweet little six-month
babe to sleep in the cradle. Presently
the baby screamed, and she rushed in
and was horror-stricken to find hideous
blacksnake OF enormous size trying to
swallow the child. Ii had engulfed the
hand and swallowed it MP TO the arm pit
and was writhing in its contortions and eff
forts TO make further progress. Grasp
ING the hideous reptile in the middle il
seemed TO relax its hold and disgorge
the child's arm, then turned upon its
mother. She dashed it to the floor, and
in her wild frenzy stamped it to death.
IL proyed to be OF the black racer spe-
cies. seven feet two inches long, and
measured six and one half inches in cir
conference. The babe lived, and the
only Inconvenience it suffered from its
terrible experience was that its arm and
hand were blistered as If scalded In
hot water.

PROFOUND SORROW FOR MRS. WALL.
Former Resident of WiIhamsburg-Pro-

Former Resident of wiIhsmsburg-Pro-
ceedinss of the City Fathers.
rCorrespondencs of the Richmond Disps'ch.I
WILLIAMSBURG. Va, Nov. %, 1890.
A private telegram received here last
night stating that Mrs. w. Il. Wall. OF
Durham, n. G., had met with serious
accident and later stating that she had
died of her injuries has produced pro-
found sorrow in our community. Mrs.
Wall. who was formerly Miss Kate Mer-
Ger, OF this place, married Mr.. Wall here
in 1878 and shortly afterwards removed
70 Durham. where he has since been
living, employed as cashier OF the Ameri-
can Tobacco Works Of that city. Mr..
Wall is a brother OF Mrs. John 5.
Charles. of this town, and be has the en-
tire sympathy of this community IN his
great afiiictlon.
INTERMENT AT DURHAM.
As nearly all the members OF the
family of the deceased were telegraphed
for and are now in Durham, it is thought
that the body will be inferred there IN
stead of in the old family burying-
ground here. Mrs. Wall was sister of
Mr.. John l.. Mercer, clerk of the East
ern Lunatic Asylum. Mr.. Mercer left
here for Durham Immediately upon re,
CENT of the telegram conveying the sad
news, and was joined in Richmond on
his mournful trip by two other brothers,
MIR. Robert 2. Mercer and Mr.. Corbln
Mercer, who are there engaged III the
drug business.
GREATLY BELOVED.
Rev. James II. Moss, for the past two
wears in charge of the Methodist church
here has been returned by the Confer
ence lately held at Lynchburg, and his
CHARGE placed in the Richmond pre-
siding elders district, where it was Tor
many wears. MIR. Moss is extremely
popular and grealy beloved, and our
town would regretvery much to part with
him.
Mr.. B. f. Brooks left this morning for
Alexandra TO accept position with the
Midland road. Mr.. Brooks for some
time has been employed at the Eastern
Lunatic ASYLUM and is young man OF

DEMOCRATIC PROGRESS.
The main street here is being greatly
improved under the wise and ludicious
management of our Democratic CITY
government. 1t is to be hoped that TINS
work will be extended to the eastern emo
OF the town. where many heeaeo III
