CONGRESSIONAL CONTESTS.
Notice In Only One Case Filed as Yet
with the Clerk of the house.


with the Clerk of the House.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Sscretary Nc
Pherson, of the republican congressional
campaign committee, stated some time ago
that there would be at loast twenty-five
contests by republicans against democrats
for seats in the next House. AS there seems
to be no disposition on the part of the re-
publicans to give democrats fair chance
in election contests until the republican ma
jority is placed beyond the peradventure of
a doubt, it is probable that few democrats
will press contests with republicans Up
to this time only one notice of contest has
been filed in the Office Of the clerk of the
House.
TwENTY-oNE COUNTS.
This is the case of Hartsuff against Whit
ing, the latter being the sitting democratic
member Of the Seventh Michigan district
There are twenty-oue counts In his indIct-
ment, and he charges that votes were cast
at wrong places, that aliens voted without
restraint, that fraudulent naturalization
papers were issued, that illegal registration
was common, and that persons were COM
PEELED to vote the democratic ticket under
threats of personal injury. Mr.. Hartsufi
lays particular stress upon what he calls
'The Corruption Fund.- This includes a
contribution Of az, 500 from the national
democratic committee, 81 900 given by Mr..
Whiting personally. and between $3.50
and $4,000 assessed on the federal employees
The latter, Mr.. Hartsuf claims, were par
ticularly pernicious in their efforts in Mr..
Writings behalf.
OTHER CONTESTS.
It is known informally that tho seats Of
MIR. Gambler Of Georgia, Mr.. Compton OF
Maryland, Mr.. Elliott of South Carolina,
Mr.. Forman of Illinois, George d. Wise of
Virginia, MIR. Clunie CT California, Mr.
Parrett and Mr.. Shively of Indiana aud
Mr.. Phelan of Tennessee will all be con-
tested by republicans, and Mr.. Seymour,
dem. will contest Mr.. Millers', rep, in the
Fourth Connecticut district. All the Wesl
Virginia districts will probably be con
tested. Either Mr. Rowell Of Illinois or
Mr.. Lodge Of Massachusetts, is likely to be
chairman of the committee on elections in
the next House, and, of course, to have
general direction of the contests.

certain from the statement OF the peasants ;
the abducfors must, therefore, have fol-

Lydia; and correctly. But her intuition
told her it Was too late now for rescuing her

Eatalie's disappearance, and it was now al

Still, as the storm gave sigzs Of abating,
Lydia ordered her carriage TO follow, while
she herself with Dimitri and others has
toned forward on horseback to the coast
Dimitri had always imagined his mistress
peerless rider, but found Lydia quite her
equal. Do their best, the men wero always
some distance behind her.

who declared that every nook and creysoe

NEW ToRPEoo BOAT.
How General Berdan Proposes to Blow Up

How General Bertian Proposes to Blow Up
the Biggest Men-Of-war.
There has been on exhibition in this
city, model for a new torpedo boat,
the invention of General Berdan, which
it is claimed will very effectively blow
out of existence the largest ironclad
atioat. Contracts have been made
with the chief European powers for
the use of this boat, and General Ber-
dan says that it has been practically
accepted by the United States Govern
ment. A stock company with a capt.
al of one million dollars has been
formed in this country for the manu-
facture of this class of boats.
General Berdan said. in conversation
with a reporter: "Thcre always has
been n great number of difficulties In
the way of the successful working of a
torpedo boat The netting having put
an effectual stop TO the attack of tor
pedoes, it was necessary to find some
way of circumventing it. 1t is we'll

solved was how to go up to the vessel.

RELIGION I'M CoREA.
n Country Where Every Form OF Worship
Is crowned Upon.

n Country Where Every Form OF Worship
Is crowned Upon.
In the list OF the virtues Of its people and
the attractions Of the country Corea makes
poor showing and shines negatively. With
no past, no future, no riches, no power, no
warlil1c spirit, no religion, no art, no prog
ress, no commerce, no living literature, no
theaters, and few amusements or social Gus
toms, one may wonder how it remains q
kingdom and a people and why 1t exists.
Corea's condition would seem to prove all
that preachers and philosophers say about
people without a religion. In this capital Of
100000 people, and in the great plane Of city
roofs, there is not tower or pagoda to
tell OF the worship of any deity. A scrap
Of paper and Il bit of rag fastened to a
straw rope over the houso-doors propitiates
the demons and keeps thcIo out, and the
COrean devils are so stupid and easily
deceived that, getting hold OF the rag,
they think they have the whole game and
the man IN 1t, and are satisfied. This is tho
only sign Of any form of worship or belief to
be found in the city, and there are edicts
prohibiting priests from entering the city
gates. Every form of religion is frowned
upon by the Government, and in the treaties
with other nations PROSECUTING and mission
airy work are distinctly prohibited. Centur-
les ago the Jesuits entered the Kingdom
from the CnlneSe IrOnIler ana made many
converts among the people, but in all the
annals of martyrdom nothing exceeds the
stories of the tortures and punlshments in
flicted upon those sanity men. 1t was be
heved that they had given aid and instruc-
tions to the enemies of Corea, and the
Jesuits were hunted and put TO death, and
edicts put forth promising torture to those
who harbored or encouraged the .Jesuits
in their work. This attitude of thu
Government neither discouraged nor
stopped the missionary fathers, and Jesuit
priests have gone about the country in the
disguise of mourners, the huge three
bushel hat, the hand-screen and baggy
hemp clothes e1ectually concealing their
identity. Within a few weeks French

The yellow lighthouse star Is QueDched
Across the lonely sea;
The mountains rend their misty walls,
The wind of dawn blows free;
The waves beat with gladder thrill,
Pulsing in lines of spray.
And fast and far chime on the bar
God bless my Dear to-dayl
A thousand leagues may lie between
A world of distance dim;
But speeding with the speeding light
My heart goes forth to him
Faster than wind or wave 1t flies,
AS love and longing may,
And undenied stands by his side
God bless my Dear to-day!
God bless him If he wake to smiles,
Or il he wake to signs;
Temper his will for every fate,
And keep him true and wise;
Be to him all fain would be
Who am so far away,
Light. counsel, consolation, cheer
God bless my Dear to-day!
The gradual light has grown full dim
And streameth far abroad;
The urgence of my voiceless plea
Is gathered up by God;
Take some sweet thing which else were
mine.
Truly dare to pray,
And with it brim his cup OF joy
God bless my Dear to-day!
