the German government has
started.
1t can be easily proved this
time that the German govern
ment did not start the rush; in
fact. they tried to stem It. Ex.
porting Industries have to hand
over to the government q large
part Of the bills due to them for
sales. When the panic began the
Reichsbank was so well provided
with foreign exchange, collected
for reparation payments, that It
sold q lot to the market In .
vain attempt at stemming the
tide. Tho attempt failed. and
was bound to fail; as the bills
originating from exports were
thus primarily diverted to repa.

quirements. And when the hope

pletely after the assassination Of

CLOSING RISE IN PRICES.
But the present crisis means
more than temporary dislocation
Of the exchange. It is the fore.
runner of another huge rise In
prices. Until the spring. prices in

The above curious piece Of In
formation Is contained In a new
book by c. w. Hobley, entitled
"Bantu Beliefs and Magic" The
author adds that there are very
few adult twins among the Kiyuyu.
owing to the fact that twin babies
are usually suffocated at birth, or
directly afterward.
Some people think that the XII
kuyu are the descendants Of the
Lost Tribes Of Israel.
Be this as 1t may, It 10 certain
that many of their beliefs and
tribal ceremonies bear a remark
able resemblance to some Of those
recorded in the Old Testament.
Thus, they believe in one Su-
preme God. and in the survival Of
the soul after death. They prac-
tice circumcision. sacrifice rams,
and carry out exactly the Hebraic
custom OF the scapegoat, in which
a goat, after having the sins Of the
people transferred to It by the
priest. is driven forth into the vii.
derness and suffered to escape.
Tho Kiyuyu are spiritualists to
a man. They viii tell in quite a
matter-of.fact way Of having met
and conversed with friends and

/" HE rapid decline Of the
mark has shown at last to
u the world the abyss on the
brink of which Central Europe
has been standing for the last
three years.
The mark had begun to give
way when the hope for a loan
was shattered by the French
attitude towards the Bankers
Committee. It crumbled to
pieces after the assassination Of
Rathenau. It has not recovered
its former position though events
In Germany have shown clearly
that the Republic IL not doomed.
and that the mass Of the Ger
man people are willing to stand
by It. There are very great
political difficulties ahead Of the
German government. The Social
lists object to d participation Of
the Deutsche volkspartei in the
government, whilst the bour-
geois parties are afraid of too
close a collaboration with the
Independent Socialists; Bavaria
IL continuing the somewhat OBJ
streperous policy she has been
indulging in during the last two
years; but there is not the slight
est doubt that the German Re-
public might easily Be saved
under the chancellor's skillful
guidance, II the social edifice
does not break down through the
collapse OF the mark.
GOVERNMENTS EFFORTS.
1t has often been asserted that
the fall Of the mark is due to. o

The four companies Of the
Twenty infantry and two troops
Of the Eighth cavalry constituted
the garrison Of Fort Yates. N. D.,
and adjoining the fort was tho
Indian agency Of Standing Rock.
The agent was q Mr.. Mclaughlin.
The troops Of the fort were conn
manded by Lieutenant Colonel
Drumn.
LED A SMALL BAND.
Sitting Bull was at that time .
leader Of q small band Of Sioux,
who had their houses about forty
seven miles south Of Fort Yates,
on the Grand river. South Of the
Grand river was a large area
known as the bad lands "a bad
country almost devoid Of vegeta-
tion).
Sitting Bull, always discomfort.
ed. took UP the Messiah craze. and
refused to comply with orders Of
the agent at Standing Rock. and
at the time he influenced others
to disobey the Governments re-
quest to come to the agency and
draw their rations, etc. This led
to other troubles until the case
was turned over to the War De-
partment. which. in cohesion with
the Department Of the Interior,
came to the conclusion to have
Sitting Bull brought to the agency
and to be held there until the
Messiah craze subsidized.
So Mr.. Mclaughlin and Colonel
Drumn decided to send a detach.
ment of Indian police to round UP
Sitting Bull. and in order to pro-
tect the police the soldiers of Fort
Yates were ordered out at mid
night, December Is, 1890. Two
troops Of the Eighth cavalry, q
and F troops, were to be followed
by the four companies of the
Twelfth infantry.
