CURIOUS KOREAN CUSTOM

The Battle of Stones Which Marks
Beginning of New Year.
One Of the most curious customs in
Korea marks the advent Of the new
year. This is the battle with stones,
participated in by inhabitants Of Seoul.
At a spot about mile and half out
side the city walls, on the main road to
The Han river, the people assemble by
thousands either as witnesses of or par
Elephants in this truly remarkable exhi-
bition of warlike good will By preVi-
GUS arrangement piles of stones are in
readiness, all carefully selected and of
q convenient size.
Without previous selection of COM
batants the participants form them
selves into opposing armies, about the
only qualification for service being ap-
parently the ability to hurl stone at
the advancing forces Of the enemy. At
first the stone throwing is at long range
and uninteresting, but as the throwing
continues the forces draw nearer, and
the fight wakes fast and furious, men
being detailed to collect the stones into
for the firing line. Then the clash
comes, the two bodies meet, fierce rush
es are made, stones are discarded, and
knives and clubs are freely used. The
clash Of weapons, the screams of the
combatants, the surging mass Of men,
| some being trampled to death, now
falling, now struggling to their feet, the
o11fcs fIp
| whole goes to make a picture that de-
picts anything but the joy we attribute
| to the coming of new year. The fight
| is kept up until the clang Of the great
| city bell tells the combatants that it is
time to return home.
Perhaps the most singular feature
! of the celebration is that during the
| remaining eleven months Of the year
| the Korean is as amiable a person as
can be found in any country, and by
some writers the average Korean is
characterized as the most abject COW
! ard on the face of the earth,
But, towards or no towards, the
Korean people still indulge, as they
have for years, in this annual warlike
! welcome of the new year. Indeed it Is
| legal in Korea to fight not only or
New Years day, but during the first
moon or month Of the year. The Gus
tom has become a national institution
sanctioned by the government and
| pationiZed by the king and the nobili
ty. The police attend the battles, but
| merely to keep order among the specta
tors. Fighting is the Koreans priv
| lege with the advent of each new year
| and he is expected to exercise that
privilege to the extent of his ability if
he would be accounted a good, country
| loving KOrean.-New York Tribune.

NEW HOUSE DooRkEEPER.

cscCs w. J. Glenn.

Frank q. Lyon of Cuba, n. y, Sue
ceets w. J. Glenn.
Washington, March 19.-When the
house met Frank B. Lyon of Cuba, N
Y, was elected doorkeeper to succeed
the late W. J. Glenn. The oath was
Immediately administered to Mr.. Lyon
by the speaker.
The house then went into committee
of the whole and resumed considera.
ton of the river and harbor bill
When Mr.. Hepburn Qa.), who has
fought river and harbor bills ever
since he came to congress, arose to
speak there was an outburst of ap-
plause on both sides of the house.
81 arise to make my annual contribu-
ton to river and harbor literature with
a miscellaneous assortment of emo
tions," he began. Il recognize" he con-
tinued, the utter futility of saying any
thing against this bill. I recognized
that fact years ago when the pork in
the barrel was only $S,000,O00. How
manifestly impossible is it to make
Roadway against it now that the ap:
preparations aggregate $60,000,000."
Mr.. Hepburn commended the COM
mittee for taking the back track"
upon wasteful expenditures in certain
directions, pointing out the abandon
ment Of further improvements of the
Missouri river as final fulfillment of
predictions made Is years ago.
He said that congress should set a
definite limit upon the depth of water
sought to be obtained in seaport har-
bors-30 feet for instance-and place
Limit on naval architecture. Other
wise, he declared, there would be no
end to the depth of water which would
be demanded.
Speaking of the Hennepin canal Mr..
Hepburn admitted that he had voted
for it.
But considering the mental pen
ance have undergone SINCE" said he,
"and my infancy and ignorance when
I cast the vote, it will not go as hard
with me as with a hard-headed old
sinner like my friend from Illinois
(Mr. Reeves) If he should attempt to
indulge in another such freak of leg
islation." Oaughter).
'The canal was projected to get the
produce of the farmers of Iowa to the
Great Lakes" suggested Mr.. Reeves.
"Quite true" retorted Mr.. Hepburn,
'but the farmers of that day are all
dead while the incomplete canal con-
tinues to draw it's annual appropria-
lions from the treasury" (Renewed
laughter).
While acquitting the chairman of
the committee of looking to anything
but the public welfare Mr.. Hepburn
said there were gentlemen upon the
committee who did not hesitate to
''log roll" to secure appropriations for
their own schemes.
Mr.. Lawrence (Mass.), member of
the committee, defended the bill in an
extended speech.
