Seven Wonders of Corea.

Corea, like the world of the ancients,
has its .1sevcu wonders Briefly stat
ed. they are as follows: First. a hot
mineral spring near kin-Shantao, the
healing properties of which are believed
by the people 10 be miraculous. No
matter what disease may aft1ict the
patient, dip in the water proves eifca-
cous. The second wonder is two
springs. situated a considerable distance
from each other; in fact, they have the
breadth of the entire peninsula between
them. They have two pcculiarities-
when one is full the other is always
empty. and, Notwithstanding the fact
that they are connected by IA subter-
ranean passage, one is bitter and the
other pure and sweet. The third Won
der is a cold-waye cave-a cavern from
which wntry wind perpetually blows.
The force of the wind from the cave is
such that a strong man cannot stand be-
fore ii. \ forest that cannot be eradi-
Gated is the fourth wonder. No matter
what injury is done to the roots of the
trees, which are large pines, they will
sprout up again directly, like the phoenix
from her ashes. The fifth is the most
wonderful of all. 1t is the famous
FLOATING stone. 1t stands, or seems to
stand, in front of the palace erected in
its honor. 1t Is an irregular cube of
great bulk. 1t appeUs to be resting on
the ground, free from supports on all
sides; but, strange to say. two men at
opposite ends of a rope may pass it I'M
der the stone without encountering any
obstacle whatever. The sixth wonder is
the "hot stone, which from remote ages
has lain glowing with heat on the top of
a high hill. The seventh aud last
Gorean wonder is drop of the sweat of
Buddha. For thirty PAGES around the
temple in which it is enshrined not n
blade of grass will grow. There are no
flowers inside the sacred square Even
the animals decline to profane "A spot so
holy.

Every County Ohicer, senator and Rep

1t is difficult to measure the grand
victory gained by Maine Republicans at
the polls Monday, and the crushing de-
feat sustained tyDemocrats.
1t is only necessary to state that
Governor Cleaves received an enormous
majority over candidate johnson exceed
ing IS 900. Reed is elected in the First
district by over 5000 plurality; Dingley
in the Second by over 10000; Mlliken
in the Third by nearly 10000, ant
Boutele in the Fourth by over 10000.
Every County in the State is carried
by the Republicans ard every County
officer elect is of that party.
The Legislature comes nearer being
solidly Republican than ever before
the Senate being solid with about a dozer
Democrats in the House.
Those manufacturing cities in Maine
that have usually been Democratic III,
strongly Republican this year- Bdde
ford by 40 plurality; Lewiston by $50
Waterville by :.2l and so on. Portlan,
usually close, gives Cleaves and Rec
LII plurality. Bangor increases Re
publican plurality to nearly 1000; Angus
Ia. to 900: Bath, $50; Saco, 500; Belfast
80. etc
Somerset County has not been behind
other counties. The pluralities on tn,
Governors vote aggregates 2,61S a gair
of about 1000 over 1892
Never did Democracy in Somerset
make so poor a showing. 1t was little
short of Il collapse. In recent years Re
publicans have carried the Bingham dis
trict but once, six years ago; but thi,
year it is carried and by large plural
ity.
The Popuiist party has not figured a
largely at the polls as most people sup
posed they would. Their vote is little
better than scattering in all but Il few
towns and will not greatly exceed 50l
votes in the 80 towns and plantations o.
Somerset.
Whatever other Mondays election
may have been, it was the most EN-
phatic condemnation of the Democrat,
party by Democrats and those who W
to this year have been Democrats, thai
could possibly be administered to that
party. Maine and Vermont speak ii
thunder tones in condemnation of the
party that has been in power for eigh
teen months past and brought disaster
with that power.

Reciprocity.

In" reciprocity clause of the law of
$50 has been repealed by the law of
i>94. 1t was intended to encourage
foreign trade, and in the two years of
rs operation it has accomplished much
ior the trade of the United States, and
especially for the benefit of our agricul-
lural interests.
Our trade with Cuba under this re-
ecproclty clause had increased from SILL
$4,000 to S24, 100000 annually, and
wit with Brazil from 81 100000 to $4,000
Voo, while with number of other
countries large and growing trade had
oeen secured. All this is surrendered
Tor taxed sugar, and the morning press
announces that some of the countries
with which we had made reciprocal
treaties are instituting retaliatory duties
against our flour, wheat, beef, pork and
olher products because of the needless
ana foolish abrogation of their treaties.

One of the unaccountable things in the
election of Monday was that As ballots
were spoiled in marking and As men
lost their votes thereby in this town. The
method of voting the straight ticket was
so very simple that some people did not
give it proper thought, and carrying in
mind the method of balloting of two
years ago they did not succeed in getting
the cross in the right place over the
party name. Others of our elderly citi.
zens whose eyesight is not the best, fail
ed to mark the ballot correctly, while a
very few could not seem to get on to the
method, although it seemed as easy as
falling of log" Our town was not
alcnc in this difficulty. The town of
Aorridgewock lost per cent Of the total
vote in defective ballots. We do not en-
thuse very greatly over a ballot that has
possibilities for so large a per centage of
errors, but are willing to try it again if
the legislature will refrain from tinker
ing it too much.

When Republicans saw the disgust ex-
ton imposed upon their party by the
Washington crowd and found that they
were staying away from the polls in
large numbers it had the effect to cause
Republicans to stay at home also. The
latter said. there is no use in voting.
The thing Is all one way and it is useless
to waste time in going to the polls
This one thing caused the Republican
vote to fall off somen hat from two years
ago in some towns including Skowhegan
The argument is falacious and the
practice bad politics, but it had it effect,
nevertheless.

DAMAGED by CHINESE SHOT.


Injuries Received by the Japanese
Cruiser Yoshino-K
The Japanese Gazette learns that the
Yushino Kan, the modern japanese
cruiser which has been engaged with
Chinese vessels on several occasions
since the commencement of the war,
has not entirely escaped injury as has
been reported The Gazette says: THE
Yoshino-Kan apparently ran the gaunt-
let of the blockade at Chemulpo, but we
have it on good authority that she was
heavily handled. 1t is said that she is
damaged below the water line, and that
but for her double hull the japanese
navy would have been the poorer by
the loss of this magnificent cruiser"
Japan has not been compelled as yet
to resort to extreme measures to secure
money to carry on the war, and as a
consequence the members of Parliament
are inclined to appropriate ample funds
for war purposes
The principal members of the allied
parties, which are anti-ministerial, met
recently and decided, if the Govern
ment continues to act firmly in pursu-
ance to the imperial edlct on the proc
lamation of war, Parliament should
next session, grant 100, OOO,0 900 yen for
war expenses This is almost exactly
$50, 900.

News OF the world

LONDON, September "a dispatch re
ceived from Shanghai to-day says that
that CITY is the scene of lively excite
ment ON account of the swift execution
of two japanese yesterday by the
Chinese authorities.
The two victims of Chinese law took
refuge at the American Consulate and
confidently expected that the represen-
tative of the American Government
would afford them the desired protec-
ton. As soon as the Consul became
satisfied that the men were spies, and
realized that, under the circumstances,
he could not interfere in their behalf,
he turned them over to the Chinese
authorities. by whom they were
pr omptly beheaded. The action of the
authorities created profound sensation
among the japanese residents of the
city, and they are getting away Il
rapidly as possible.
All the japanese in China have now
been put under Chinese jurisdiction,
and nearly all the Japanese business
houses have closed. As soon as the
action OF the Chinese authorities in the
case OF the spies shall have reached
Japan it is thought that the Chinese in
the latter country will be made to feel
very uncomfortable.
The Chinese press is ridiculing Eng
land for its apathy regarding the kow
Shung incident.
A junk was sunk by torpedo yester-
day and all on board were lost.
1t is reported that levy for $50, OOC
men has been made on the province OF
Shang Tung, which has heretofore with.
held supplies demanded by the Gov
eminent.
SHANGHAI, September 5.-The alarm
among the japanese continues to spread
and they may now be said to be fleeing
from the country, as there seems to bt
little or no protection for them here
They insist that the surrendered prison
ers were executed Immediately aftei
they were given into the hands of tn,
Chinese authorities. This, however, ha.
not been confirmed.
All the japanese of this city, about
700, are making preparations to leave
China at once. The Japanese mer'
chants are selling out their business.

GUARDING CHINA's COAST.

TOrpedoes Menace to Navigation in
River Channels.
According to advices from Shanghai
every effort is being made to prevent
the landing of Japanese forces in China.
To that end all Notifications are being
heavily garrisoned and torpedoes are
placed at the entrance to the harbors.
Some 500 contact torpedoes have been
laid in North Channel and elsewhere
about Shanghai, but they are too deep
TO interfere with the safety of the
ordinary coasting steamers at high
water. When the tide is out, however,
there is but little room to spare between
these torpedos and vessels bottoms
and navigation is a matter of much
danger.
Letters have been received at Shang-
hal from Japan to the effect that several
hundred japanese, disguised as Chinese
workmen, artisans, doctors, monks, etc.,
are present about the northern ports,
and the authorities are warned against
engaging men OF whose antecedents
they are ignorant.
