Railway Telegraph Operators Strike for
the Recognition of Their Order.
CHICAGO, Dec. 7.-To-morrow morning at
10 O'Clock 575 telegraph operators on the
Chicago, Rock Island ~ Pacific, and 200
more on the Burlington. Cedar Rapids Il
Northern will strike. The trouble comes
from the refusal OF the officials of the Rock
Island to confer with committee of the
Order of Railway Telegraphers, which has
been trying to discuss scale of wages and
cet tain changes i'll working hours with tho
officials. There is no great difference on
these points, but the committee was Rp-
pointed by the railway photographers, and
not by the employees of the Rock Island
road. and on this account the officers re-
fused to meet it, although u majority of the
committee are employed by the Rock lsl-
and. The officials declared they would
treat with their own men, but would not
recognize the right of railway telegraphers
to interfere. Refusal to recognize the or
der precipitated the strike. Az meeting
of tho committee. presided over by Chief
Ramsey, the matter was discussed at
length, and the sentiment was strong i'll
favor OF the strike. Therefore, at the end
of the session the order was issued for the
strike, as above stated.

cause of death of an infant of Mrs. VIM.

REMARKABLE FIND.
A Live Frog Imbedded in Sandstone
1wenty-three Feet Under Ground.

A Live Frog Imbedded in Sandstone
Twenty three Feet Under Ground.
Jos. Esick and Henry Neill made re-
markable discovery yesterday. They have
been looking for fire clay on piece of land
between the city and East Helena, and have
shaft down about twenty-three feet.
Yesterday Mr.. Eslick was down in the shaft
working with pick. He broke off piece
of sandstone and great was his surprise to
see frog drop with it. He threw it out to
Mr.. Neill and the latter laid it to one side.
At first the frog showed no signs of life,
but in about two hours it opened it's eyes
and hoped abo1t n little. In the rock
from which it came there ia a cavity Just
the size of the frog. Mr.. Eslick brought
the curiosity to town and showed it to Dr..
Swallow. The latter saws like discoveries
have been made before, but not ip Montana
to his knowledge. An inspection of the
animal shows that it has not used its feet,
as they are soft and tender and the legs
almost Transparent. Instead of being web
footed on each of the front feet are four
distinct toes. The fore legs are unusually
short. The animal is light gray in color
and is very fat. How it existed in its place
of confinement is a question for the ecient-
lists to answer.

situation of agricultural affairs in Grent
Britain. met to-day, 1900 delegates from
over 200 agricultural associations being
Rressnt. Loud cheers greeted an allusion
to protection as the remedy for the trouble,
but Hon. Henry Chaplin assured them thnt
an attempt to put duty on food would
certainly be defeated. A resolution was
adopted affirming that the unfair competi-
tion of untaxed foreign imports with home
prodmcts WAS an injustice that called for
immediate removal. Therefore, NIL COM
peting imports ought to pay duty of not
less than tho rates of taxes levied on home
produce.
Chaplin said he hoped the conference
would adopt the principle Of bi-metallism.
William Saunders, radical member of
parliament. attempted to denounce pro-
lection, but was hootod down. Francis
Smith, member of the London county coun-
Gil. who attempted to state that return to
protection meant return to barbarism, was
similarly treated. Everett, liberal mem
ber for Suffolk, moved u resolution declaf-
ing that III the opinion of tho conference
the continuous fall III prices is due to the
appreciation of gold. and in tho exchange
between gold and silver using countries,
and the best remedy il to be secured by an
agreement on a broad international basis
to reopen mlnts of leading nations to the
unrestricted coinage of silver and gold.
The resolution urged that tho British gov
ernment be earnestly requested to cooper
ate with other governments now represented
at the monetary conference at Brussels.
lengthy debate ensued, in closing which
Chaplin declared that the owners of gold
didn't approve of the motion because the
moro gold appreciated the better it was fol
them. 1t WAS curious coincidence that
since silver was demonetiZed in 1873 the

Supt. Allen Offers to Make Dollara for
Ninety Cents Apiece.
BUTTE, Dec. 7.-[Special. l-Supt. Allen.
of the Butte & Boston Mining company. has
written suggestive letter to the secretary
of the treasury. He offers to coin all the
silver dollars the government wants at sc
cents apiece. putting in them 400 grains of
pure silver against 37114 in the present dol
lar. At S5 cents per ounce the value of
the present dollar is only 65.71 cents. He
would number each coin so the government
would not be compelled to redeem dupli-
Gates. He says the degree of fineness of
the present dollar is such that it can be
counterteited so as to defy detection and
that with 1850, 900 worth of metal a coun-
terfeiter can make a fortune OF S350,00C
profit. He proposes IA standard which
would prevent the possibility of such coun
terfeit.

London Papers Say "Ichabod" Is
Written Over Mr. Harrison's
Last Message.
Not Every One Gan Vent His Par
tisan Spleen in State
Paper
Single and Double Standard Advocates
Are Making No Roadway Toward
Compromise at Brussels.

LONDON. Dec. THE Times says: "Har-
rison nscribes the drain OF gold from
America to political movements in Europe.
By many republican leaders. however,
nothing OF the kind il required to explain
the phenomenon. which everybody ac-
quainted with the frat principles of cur
rency legislation could have predicted with
absolute confidence, when America first
undertook to control the market. Harrison
appears to be entirely unconscious that the
monetary conference is a failure He talks
about delay in compelling other nations to
change their coinage. What hopeless
tangle of misconceptions thus revealed.
Surely the existence of millions of dollars
in the vaults of the American treasury,
which nothing could induce the world TO
employ, ought to restrain even O retiring
president from talking this egregious non
sense. America may reverse her policy,
but the world will long suffer from it's
effects. Reversion to a sound policy may
disturb the silver market. as an inevitable
result of laundering legislation. but will
pave the way to a healthier state of affairs.''
The Standard says: mot every ono is
privileged to vent his spleen in the form of
state paper. Harrison's message is not
meant to be gracious. Neither is it impress
sive. 1t is like the epistle of rejected
lover, sincerely trusting she will not rue
bitterly the preference accorded to one un-
worthy of her protection. The warning &c
Canada is polite compared with the threat
once hurled at Chill. but had flavor never
| theless. There is an unwelcome ambiguity
in the reference to the Bsring sea matter.
but it matters little what he says. Icha-
bod is written in every sentence"
The Chronicle says: "Harrison's tariff
remarks remind one of the school boy
maxim, "If you tell lie. tell big 'un, anc
stick to it, 1t may now be regarded al
certain that America will make the Mica
ragua canal and thus prevent France from
rsviving the Panama scheme"
| The Daily Telegraph, commenting on thu
message, refers to the programme of tht
British agricultural conference. In con-
nection with the Presidents remarks OF
agriculture it says: Nothing could b,
more misleading than Harrison's remarks
The only thing that saves America from
vast, terrible social catastrophe, is the ex
tent and cheapness of her outlying land
and her superb system of railroads. Will
regard to the troubles of English tenan
farmers, however, nothing could be
wilder or worse step than retaliation on tn
McKinleyites by excluding American corr
and beef"

tho Authorship.
New YORK. Dec. 7.-D.. Birch resumed
tho reading of his argument i'll the Briggs
case to- day, the fifth charge being taken up.
In this Briggs is accused of teaching that
Moses is not the author of the Pentateuch,
which teaching is contrary to the essential
doctrines of the standard church. form
idable array of scripture were sdduced in
tho printed charges to show the falslty OF
Briggs theory. DR.. Birch said the only
authority on tho authorship of the Penta-
teuch was the Bible itself. If Moses did
not write the Pentatench, said he, no dew
can be blamed for rejecting Christ. IL
Moses didn't write the Pentateuch Christ
himself Is dishonest. When Biroh finished
Col. McCook took mp the cudgel and an.
nounced his intention to prove the heresv
of the theories Briggs exrounded i'll his
inaugural address by showing their effect
upon practical Christianity. He had not
concluded whom n recess was taken.
