international BIN e talIism.

London, Nov. 5.--A meeting of mem
bers of the Bimetallic league has been in
session all the afternoon, engaged in
the work of drawing up a manifesto.
The document claims that McKinley's
election is victory for international BIZ
metallism and quotes the money plank of
the st. Louis convention. Continuing, it
says:
"In these circumstances, and in view
of the strong agitation for free silver
which is likely to be maintained and de-
veloped, a genuine and determined effort
on the part of the new government may
be confidently anticlpa to bring about
an international agreement for the open
ing of the mints of the various countries
to silver as we'll as to gold. The re-
cent contest in the United States has
brought home to the people of this coun-
try the vital Importance of the monetary
question and the grave dangers which
threaten the industrial, the commercial
and the financial interests of Great Bri-
tain so long as it is not settled on inter-
national lines.
''The attitude of this country toward
the past effort to arrange settlement is
mainly responsible for the attempt just
witnessed to induce the United States to
act alone and for the consequent unrest
and disturbances in commercial and
financial circles. Therefore it is earnest
ly hoped that this country and the other
great powers of Europe will heartily CO.
operate with the United States In their
endeavor to place the metallic money
of the world upon permanent, sound
and fair basis,

Senator James Donald Cameron's an

Of his present term was considerable
Of surprise to the country, though, as
his letter to State Senator McCarrell,
Of Harrisburg, Pa, indicates, 1t was not
the result of sudden or newly formed
impulse. you will remember" he
writes to Mr.. McCarell, "that in a
conversation in my home at Harris
burg, just after my election to the sen
ate, told you, as we'll as many other
friends, that under no circumstances
would | again be a candidate for re-
election Since then nothing has oc-
Cured to change my mind" No doubt
these are the exact facts, and 1t Is rea-
sonably certain that If he had changed
his mind he would be reelected II his
party were in the majority in the leg
islature. His attitude on the saloon
question was obnoxious to some Of his
constituents, no doubt, and would have
been made the basis of an opposition
more or less feeble which has always
antagonized him. But the people of
Pennsylvania don't take much interest

The Flrst RIned Cannon.

Sylvanus Sawyer, who died recently in
Massachusetts,, was an old time New Eng
land inventor and, according to an ex.
change, to him belongs the fame Of having
conceived the idea of the rifled cannon.
About 1854 he had q cannon cast after this
pattern, rihed, and having oalibor about
81 inches in diameter and feet long. He
then had explosive shells of an original
and peculiar pattern made, they being
grooved TO fit the riding of the cannon and
gave it that rotary motion now so univer-
sally used The shell was hollow and in
shape not unlike an acorn, and on Its tip
was an opening through which powder
could be poured. A Illuminating cap was
the final arrangement so adjusted that
when it struck any object the contents Of
the shell would be ignited and an explosion
take place.
When the test of his cannon was made,
In 1851, his shell went straight to the mark
and exploded with due precision, tearing
the target into flinders. Thus successful
was the first riled cannon ball ever fired
in this or any other country.

A novel scheme for saving his cattle
from the droves of coyotes that infest
the region has been hit upon by a
rancher of Glen Rock, Wash. He has
placed bells on the necks of a great
number of cattle in his herds, and the
result has been to scare the coyotes
away. In the two months since he
belled his herds he has not lost single
animal, while previously his loss aver
aged at least one steer a day. Coyotes
are becoming more of pest every sea-
son in many parts of Washington and
Oregon, despite all the efforts of the cat
tlemen and farmers to exterminate
them. Thousands Of dollars are spent
every year in waging war on the beasts,
but with little result. Poison availed
for time, but now the coyotes refuse to
touch the poisoned carcasses of steers
strewn about Tor Lnelr consumption.
The only way of killing them is by
shooting them, and this is feeble and
wholly inadequate means. Occasion
ally the residents of a district combine
and have grand roundup hunt, driv-
ing the coyotes toward the center of a
circle, and slaughtering them there, and
this is the only means of appreciably
thinning them out occasionally In
come regions the packs of gray wolves
are as numerous and troublesome as
the coyotes. The coyotes are particu-
larly adept chicken thieves, and, in
deed. are a general pest around the
farmyards.
