with such abandon and ferocity In
the battles which brought victory to
Dahomey that they were organized into
a permanent regiment, and women have
ever since been among the bravest SOL
diers of the lard. The flower Of the
fair sex is likely to get into the army
as well as nearly all the strong-minded
women, the yiragos and the unfaithful
wives. Now and then the King takes
a consort from his women regiments,
but no other man may marry them.
Bound to perpetual maidenhOod, they
know that a cruel death will be their
punishment II they are found to violate
their vows. There are occasions,
however, when violation of these vows
is permitted and the moral code is COM
uletely relaxed. When the King sends
his Amazons through the coun-
try to enlist men for the army
the fair recruiting agents are
permitted TO use any inducement they
please to tempt men into the ranks.
The women are taught that they are not
weak. but strong. Every wOmanly SEN
timent is suppressed, and they become
uusexcd and unnaturally ferocious. But
after all, the system OF women soldiers
IS source of weakness as well as Of
strength to the country. Dahomey Is
rich in soil and in resources, but its
population is not large and is decreasing.
II has less than 100000 people. The
country cannot afford TO keep a large
number Of cehbate women in its garri-
sons. In the natural order Of things
these women would DE the moth
ers Of thousands of children; but not
only are the additions they make to the
population most insignificant, but also
most of the woman captured in war be-
come merely the camp followers and
servants of the Amazons, and are under
the same restrictions as 10 celibaCY.

bill introduced by Representative An
drew. imposing more liberal legislation on
behalf OF the national banks and the re-
peal of the silver bullion purchase clause

thorlzes national banks TO issue circulation
on bonds deposited. Section reduces the
amount OF bonds required To be deposited
III the United States treasury by national
banks 10 a nominal amount. The section
will have to be modified. as the committee
Is hostile to it and believes in requiring
banks to deposit considerable amount of
bonds. Section relates 10 the tax on cir
culation.
The committee is in favor OF reduction
of the rate of tax on national bank circu-
lation, but is opposed to wiping the tax out
entirely. on the ground that the banks
should bear their share of the expense of
the system. Section 4 repeats the Sher-
man silver purchase provision. Whether
or not this will get favorable endorsements

The Governor May Have to Order An
other Election i'm Pierce County.


other Election in Pierce County.
OLYMPIA, Dec 27.-[Special. l-Pierce
county is likely TO be without q full vote
In the legislature when the balioting for
senator begins here next month. Owing
to the tie In the Thirty-third district no
representative has been elected in that
district, but no law has been found by
which the tie can be declared until the
house meets and decides whether or not
member has been chosen from the district
In question.
The provision of law relating to ties of
this nature, section 426, II ills code, is as
follows:
II, az any election to ALI any distric. or legis-
iatlve office, two or more persons receive the
highest and equal number OF votes, il shall ba
declared that there is no choice, and a special
election. to I'LL such Office, shall be ordered by
the proper officer.
The governor is the proper officer to Or
der such an election for member of the
legislature. but until the tie is certified to-
him it IS not believed that he can call the
election, as the house when it meets might
decide that there had been no tie
Tneballoting for United States senator
must. according to. Federal law.
begin on the second Tuesday after
tHe meeting ana organzatlon OF the
legislature. If the legislature organizes
on the first day of the session the first
ballot for senator will therefore be taken
on Tuesday, January II. The election of
member of the house TO ili the Pierce
county vacancy cannot occur until at
least ten days after the proclamation
OF the governor Is issued, as no.
tice must be given by posting
for ten days and by publication for i've
days in a newspaper in the county. If the
legislature should declare the tie on the
first day, and notice of the election be
given in the district the next day, Janu-
ary 10, even then the election could not
occur until January 20, so that Senator
Ahen Will undoubtedly be reelected sew
eral days before the new member from
Pierce can take his seat.
