grown into its present use by adoption
trather than from any definite origin.
| In all climes and ages the hours of
labor in gangs or squads have been
marked off by the striking of bell
or gong, either by hand or clockwork.
From this naturally arose the express

The question that will perplex the legis-
lature not little is that of the United
States senatorship. Mr.. Allen will have to
rely on King county, for without it he can
not be returned. Judge Turner, on the
contrary, will get no aid from King county,
and his Pierce county aid is a sort of Hob
sons choice with Mr.. Bennett. Mr.. Allen
is pledged to the canal and voted for tree
silver. The one the Reveille regards as a
sort Of private enterprise and the other as
an inexcusable falling from grace in a
sound money republican. New WhatcOm,
as one of the principal cities of the sound,
with the finest harbor, certainly cannot be
infatuated with the creation of harbor at
Seattle at public expense, and, as a repub-
lican county, cannot respect the silver bill
of the silver barOns. II is true that there
is no danger Of the digging of the canal.

the silver question among themselves, with

BRUSSELS, December 2.-The scheme fol
the solution Of the monetary problem sub
mitted to the international monetary con-
ference by Rothschild was rejected by the
committee to which it was referred on the
votes Of delegates from France, Italy, Bel
GUM, Norway, Sweden and Russia. The
first objection was made to the plan to
form delegates of nations belonging to the
Latin union. They disapproved the pro-
posal that AZ pence be fixed as maximum

consequently Withdrawn in favor of a high

cile the opposition. The report was sub
mitted this afternoon by Raffaloyitch of
Russia. Chairman committee. 1t declares
Rothschild's proposals great interest and
worthy full discussion, but the committee
by vote to declined its adoption. The
committee declared in favor of that portion
of MonteiOre Lewis plan which
refers to the gradual withdrawal
of all gold CONS under value
of 20 francs, also of all bank notes below a
certain value. The report concludes with
a statement of American, Mexican and In
dian delegates with reference to the future
course of act1u of their countries. This

American delegates regard the position
cheerfully. The way is now cleared for a
full discussion of their bimetallic plans in
accordance with their original programme,
and prominent opponent of prolonged
debates is Bertram Currie, the British rep
resentatiYe. His aim in trying to curtail
discussion is to bring the conference to a
close at the end Of next week. The Ameri-
can delegates will not yield to the applica-
ton Of hasty closure. But if Curries i'll
huence prevails, the British, German and
Austrian delegates will withdraw at the
latest by the middle of December and thus
break up proceedings.
After the submission of the report of the
committee the Americans announced that
they were not ready to discuss it. Ad-
iOurned until Tuesday.

cuddy of Rapid City, S. Dak., well known
as one of the best-posted men in the coun-
try on Indian matters, is in Omaha, having
just come from the Pine Ridge Agency.
Talking to-day to Bee reporter, he said
''I don't wish to pose as an alarmist, but
the situation at Pine Ridge Is not at all
satisfactory just at present and there Is no
immediate prospect Of an Improvement.
The Indians are sullen and In many ways
show resentful feeling. and unless some
thing is done to counteract this there is
danger of trouble next spring.
"The Messiah spirit is not dead, and the
whites must not depend on the statement
that the Indians are no longer considering
the promise made by Sitting Ball and the
other medicine men who led the trouble Of
two years ago. While there is no open
dancing, there is quiet discussion on the
subject, and the fact that the promise was
that the Messiah would come after two
springs, which would bring the time in the
spring of 1898. is being carefully kept in
mind by the Indians.
"The Government recently paid the In.
dians at Pine Ridge $85, 600. and this is used
as All argument that the Great Father fears
his red sons, else why should he seek TO
buy them off. Then the return from Fort
Sheridan of Short Bull and Kicking Bear
added another disturbing element to the
already deeply agitated state OF affairs at
Pine Ridge.
'The most significant thing is the fact that
there has been communications between the
various tribes of a secret and apparently
important nature during the summer. There
is a line of communication we'll established
and constantly used between the Indian
territory and British America, and the In
dians all along the line understood each
other perfectly"

FIGHTING WITH AMiZONS.
The French Find the Conquest Of DahO-
mey by 10 Means Easy.

PARIS, Oct. 9-Colonel Dodds, commander
of the French forces in Dahomey. has tele-
graphed further accounts of the state of az
fairs prevailing In that country, and of the
position of the French troops. The Daho-
meyans, undismayed by the severe punish
ment which they received In the battle OF
October 4, made a desperate attack on
Major Gounard's scouting party on Thnrs-
day, October 6. The French lost four
men, while three OF the natives were killed
and twenty-five others Of King Behanzin's s
followers were wounded.
Unofficial dispatches say that in the bat
tie the enemy numbered about 5000, and
that in the ranks were the famous Amazons.
whose ferocious fighting qualities are well
known. The Dahomeyans occupied q
strong position on the far side Of the river,
and had strongly fortified the bridge be-
tween the two shores. Major Gounard
carried the bridge at the point Of
the bayonet. 1t was sanguin-
ary engagement. the native warriors
contesting every inch Of ground and furl-
ously resisting every attempt of the French
to dislodge them. The enemy. however,
was at length forced to yield to the attacks
of the trained and better armed soldiers and
of a large number OF their companions and
many rifles on the field.
A telegram dated October has also been
received from Colonel Dodds in which he
reports that he Is now in such position thai
he expects soon to make an attack on King
BehanZin's last line OF defense. He is con-
fdent OF entirely routing the Dahomeyan
forces when the next engagement takes
place.
