THE agreement reached by the Con
ference Committee on the silver bill
cancels the free coinage clause passed
by the Senate and the bullion redemp-
ton clause in the original House bill,
and provides for the purchase each
month of 100000 ounces Of silver,
without giving the Secretary of the
Treasury any discretion in the matter
1t is estimated that under this com.
promise, if it becomes law, the Treas
ury will purchase substantially the
entire silver product of the United
States.
The West is not satisfied even with
this agreement, but will accept it fol
the immediate relief it will bring and
if it falls short of the demands it car
be amended next winter.

and very warm, and their color was that Of tho
camel, which is rich brown. The fat in
these humps Of the camel is said TO bo deli
ciOus, aud the same Is true of the tails of tho
sheep of these Mcngoian regions. The
Mougols arc great sheep raisers, and III of their
sheep have fat tails. Some tails viii weigh
from 30 to 20 pounds, and when n sheep is very
fat 1t is often customary TO tie little sled TO
his tail in order that II may not impede him by
dragging along the ground. The wool of the
sheep is equally fine with that of the cames,
and you will find no better mutton in the
world than in Mongolia. The cames were
evidently made by the Lord for the Desert of
Cobb, but the Mongolans have turned them
into pack animals to carry their skins and coal
down 10 Picking. There is no worse road in
the world than that which leads from the
Chinese wall al the Nankow Pass down TO
Picking. II is a terrible road % tac tender
footed camel, for these animals have feet rs soft
as those OF a baby. Their feet are spongy, and
they were made 10 walk over the sand. The
skin is thick, but the rocky aud gravel.y roads
wear IL out. and some Of the cameIs | saw had
their feet worn to shreds, When camel's foot
gets torn BY these rocks the MOng0is patch il.
They throw the animal over on his side tie his
feet together, and bind his head back to his
humps. They then clean out the wound and
take a piece Of raw cowhide from 1. freshly
killed beef and sew e 10 the skin OF the foot.
Whether the skin grows on or not do not
know, but am told that this custom is common.
The most Of the Monsols are Buddhists, and
Tibet is tho land OF Buddhism The Thibet-
ans call their land The land u Bod. which /

of il is taken up with the mighty Desert of

is 1000 feet above tho sea. Tho whole of Mon
golia is high, and the climate i judge is very
much like that of Denver, save that il is colder
and drier. In some of the districts the country
is so cold that the people make their houses
underground, and these Mongols whom saw

Another common article Of food among the
Thibetans is meat bread. The air is so dry
that meat will never become tainted. They
kill a sheep and take Off his skin to hold for
sale. They put the sheep out Of doors without
taking out its insdes," and in night it
freezes. BY leaving it ont for few days tho
flesh becomes dry that il can no powdered in

Thibetans eat this powdered dried meat with

Mr. RoCkhll says that the Thibetans are not
belief, and there is no doubt but that in some
of these high regions women are so scarce and
the people are so poor that ono woman has to
do for m whole family of brothers. In some
parts of Thibct the eldest son has the right to
choose tho wife, and the girl he chooses becomes
the one wife of all tho brothers of tho family.
Tho, marriage is made by match maker, and
the bride is sprinkled with barley rs she comes
to the groom. Attic wedding everyone present
gives "A scarf to the groom aud there isa wedding
feast. Tho bride takes charge of the whole
household, and il is said that the number of her
husbands is known by tho number Of points
which she makes in her cap. Mr.. Rockhill
says the Thbetans buy their wives, aud that
the women wear great deal of iowery. The
customs of the two sexes are much alike, and
the clothing of the natives consists Of a single
long garment which is put on over the head
This garment has big pockets, and man carries
nearly all his property on his person. One Of
tho most Objectionable customs among tho
people is the grease which they rub over their
