They taught the little child to pray
For things that he desired.
With faith increasing day by day
His simple heart was fred.
For things they knew he could not get
He earnestly besought,
And none was wise enough to set
A warning In his thought.
With Christmas disappointment came;
His pr ayers had not availed.
And hir, in later years, they blame
: Because his faith has failed.

FIGURING ON THE HOUSE
Final Claims Made by Both Parties as to the
Result :, 49,
Chairman BabcOck Declares Himself
Sure of 1873 -,Estimates of
State Chairmen.

There is wide differences in the claims
made by party managers as to the compost
ton of the next House TO be determined by
today's elections. Evenithe democratic cal
culators concede great republican gains in
the House. though they. have not conceded
enough to give the republicans control On
the other hand, republican campaign man
ayers claim a good working majority.
Chairman Babcock of the republican con-
gressional committee last night issued a
declaration of the claims Of the party by
states. He sent the following telegram to
Vice Chairman Apsley, in Hudson, Mass:
II have information from all states and
close congressional districts, and without a
single exception these. reports show large
republican gains. and from the latest ad-
vices / figure upon 1873 districts that will
elect republicans beyond question, and thir-
ty-fve districts in which we have more
than an even chance to elect. I confidently
believe that we will have a good working
majority in the next House."
Later the estimate was issued It shows
a list of the districts on which Mr.. Bah
cock figures as sure and those on which he
figures as likely to give the republicans a
seat 1t Is as follows:

CHILEAN AFFAIRS.
What Minister Cana Says of the Re-
cent designations.

Minister Cana of Chile says concerning
the reports that the president and vice
president of the Chilean senate have re-
signed, as a result of the conversion laws,
that the laws direct the payment In gold of
the paper money or notes issued in 1870.
The notes were somewhat similar to the
American greenback, but were issued who'll
ly on the faith of the government, and not
convertible into coin. 1t was found that
the exchanges were badly affected by the
unsecured notes, so that the Chilean con-
gress passed a law making them convertible
into gold in July, 1896. At present an ele-
ment in Chile is urging that the date of the
conversion shall not be put off until 1896,
and 1t Is on this question that the senate
officers have resigned, according to unoffi-
cial adyices Senior Cana says the president
and vice president of the senate are elected
monthly, in order to keep them responsive
to the sentiments of that body.
Minister Cana learns from his country
that the mining exposition in progress there
is very successful although the United
States exhibits are not all that could have
been wished The German and British ex-
hibits are elaborate. the former being aided
by the German government.
Concerning the amnesty laws of Chile re-
Gently announced through the State De-
partment, Senor Cana says they are much
broader than has been understood. They
cover all persons in any way charged with
political offenses during the Balmaceda
regime or subsequent thereto. This will
have the effect, the minister says, of having
MANY persons return to Chile.

CATION seemingly refuted the claim.
At that time Bartlett was an attendant

followed by two men, and in explaining the
matter TO friends he said that it was be-
cause he knew too much about the Shade
case. He bought revolver and was much
worried about the matter. Subsequently

FATAL FIRE At ANNAPOLIS, MD
Death Announced of Philip Gilbert
Hamerton.
LATEST NEWS BY WIRE

SHANGHAI, November 6.-The British
officials here have sent an ultimatum to the
viceroy demanding a settlement of the
Chung King affair within seven days. The
British demands are that Taotai Sheng he
dismissed and degraded. the Chung King
is to be saluted with twenty-one guns from
the Taku forts, and money indemnity is
to be paid to the owners of the Chung
King.
If their demands are not complied with
within the specified time reprisals upon the
part of the British fleet are threatened.
The Chung King affair is one Of the re-
markable incidents of the war between
China and Japan, and may have serious re-
suits. On August last a Tien Tsin dis
patch announced that the thirteen japanese
soldiers who had been forcibly removed by
the Chinese from the British steamship
Chung King were returned Immediately
upon the viceroy, Ii Hung Chang, being
notified, and it was added that the vic-roy
apologized to the British consul.
On August Z, however, a dispatch from
Shanghai announced the arrival there OF
the steamship Chung King, and the cap
tain of that vessel gave his version of the
affair, which gave 1t a more serious aspect.
The captain said that while his ship was
at Tungku, on the Gulf of Pechili, Chinese
soldiers went on board of her for the pur-
pose of seizing the Japanese passengers.
They found on board the steamship sixty
Japanese, mostly women and children, and
at once began to hunt them down. The
Chinese pursued the Japanese all over the
vessel, bound them hand and foot as soon
as caught, and flung them over on the
wharf. Lii Hung Chang eventually, upon
the protests of the British consul, COM
manded the .Jaranese to be returned on
board the Chung King. and ordered the
Chinese soldiers who had made the raid to
be severely punished.
