The Special Committee Hard at Work on
the Rothschild Proposition.
BRUSSELS, Nov. SO.-The committee
of twelve appointed by the international
Monetary Conference to examine into and
report on the proposals submitted by Mr..
Alfred de Rothschild, one of the British
delegates, sat yesterday for eight hours,
with only a short interval for luncheon.
The members have arranged 10 give their
exclusive attention TO the work Of the
committee so as TO be able 70 present an
exhaustive report to the conference.
Several experts who are not delegates TO
the conference offered TO give evidence on
the production Of precious metals and
other points relating 10 the deliberations,
but the committee declined TO hear wit
pesses on any side of the questions. 1t
is understood that the committee will take
as nearest approaching accuracy the sta
tistics prepared by ottoman Haupt espe-
cially for the use of the conference, giving
estimates compiled from the latest data
Of monetary stocks of the world and the
amt al production and consumption OF
gold and silver.

the coinage of silver five franc, four shill-
ing and dollar pieces, rated to gold ac-
cording to the price Of silver In the year
previous to the adoption Of the inter-
national agreement with seigniorage of
10 per cent. He also proposes the appoint
ment OF a permanent international COM
mission to fix the initial price.
Should the price OF silver fall 10 per
cent below the coinage ratio. the COM
mission will have the authority 10 fix
new ratio and order a recoinage of pieces.
These coins will be legal tender, inter-
nationally, the banks 10 keep them as a
reserve against notes. and they have the
right 10 demand gold In exchange for
them at any time from the Government

WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. sO-The be-
lief is growing among congressman and
senators in this city that if an extra SEES
sion is TO be held at all it will no: be
called for the early part Of the incoming
year. Office holders under the RepubU-
can Senate are naturally somewhat anxi-
Gus as TO the political complexion Of that
body in the tifty-third Congress. and
some Of them are still figuring upon a
possible Republican majority. They are
claiming forty-three Democrats and Pop
ulists and fOrty-fve Republicans. More
reliable figures, however, appear to be
forty three Democrats. forty-one Repub-
licans and four POpulists, who will pro-
badly act with the Democrats. In the
event of a tie upon the question Of re-
organizing the Senate the power of the
Vice President Ia give the casting vote
becomes a question of interest. This
question was settled when Mr.. Arthur
assumed the presidency Of the Senate.

Senator PendletOn's to reorganize the

ing the reorganization Later, when Sen

Of the body on a Republican basis. the
result Of the vote on the motion was a

vote, giving the reorganization to his
party. Senator Hill of Georgia, and Sen
ator Salisbury, of Delaware. contested
the right Of the Vice-President to cast
the deciding vote on questions affecting
reorganization, but Senator Logan cited
a precedent for the Republicans claim
that was established some time I'm the
thirties. The deciding votes Of Mr..
Arthur in the two instances cited are pre-
sumed TO be sufficient precedent for Mr..

PIERRE, s. D.. Nov. 3O.-within few

Is now a topic OF interest. One of the prin-
cipal questions Will be the resubmission OF
the prohbitory clause OF the State const-
tuition. IL that is brought UP and carried
through there is strong probability of fur-
ther amendments being presented, one OF
which will be the election OF United Stafes
Senators by popular vote.
The coal famine and the grain blockade
throughout the State at the present time
may result in drastic railroad legislation,
although strong effort will be made 10
prevent any interference with railroads, for
fear OF its interfering with Developments In
that line next year. There Is n strong de-
mand for changes in the revenue law which
will compel telegraph, telephone and ex-
press companies to bear n more equal share
cf the burden OF taxation than they do.
The Independents may also bring up the
usury question again, but its day of i'm
portance has passed.

DR.. Edison. of tho Health Board, had

pressed himself as strong in the belief
that cholera would probably come to

strong reason to think that there is a
big fight in store for the country against
the dreaded disease next spring. The
Doctor also expressed himself as being
Of the opinion that the enactment of the

grafton for one year. beginning next

against the fight to keep cholera off the

DR. Jenkins, Of the Health Board, who
is in Chicago, is said to hold the same
opinion.
