CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST. Ten seats in the House of Repre sentatives of the coming Congress will be contested. All of these con- tested cases are now in the proper form to be referred to committees, when appointed, for hearing and re ports. The cases of contests are: Colo rado, 1st district, Bonynge against Shafroth; Massachusetts, 9th district, Conry against Keliher; South Caro lina, 1st district, Prioleau against Legare, and 7th district, Dantzler against Lever; California, 4th district, Kahn against Livernash; Tennessee, 8th district, Davis against Sims; North Carolina, 10th district, Moody against Gudger; Oklahoma, Cross against McGuire; Pennsylvania, 10th district, Connell against Howell; Mis souri, 12th district, Reynolds against Butler. The contestants in the 1st and 7th districts of South Carolina are Repub licans, colored men, who contest the election of Democrats. In the 9th Massachusetts district a Democrat contests the election of another Democrat In the 4th district of California a Republican, Kahn, who was in the last two Congresses, con tests the election of Livernash, elect ed on the Democratic and Union Labor tickets. In the Sth Tennessee and 10th North Carolina districts Re publicans contest the elections of Democrats, and in the Oklahoma case a Democrat contests the election of a Republican. In the 1st Colorado district Bonynge, a Republican, con tests the electioi of Shafroth, Silver Republican, who has been in the last four Congresses. In the 10th Penn sylvania district Connell, Republican, contests the election of Howell, Demo crat. In the 12th Missouri Reynolds, Republican, contests the election of Butler, Democrat were Caused by special .conditions) and at both cities it is weakness of the financial situation has been eliminated. At Minneapolis spring wheat re ceipts tend to confirm tho belief that the Government report of the size of the springwheat crop was too large. International Mercantile Agency point to about 100,000,000 bushels of wheat available for export, whereas European Continental estimates are that importing countries will need 180,000,000 bushels. General jobbing is dull in New England, but the volume is nearly equal to that of one year ago. The movement of lumber there is fair, except for Southern. Sales of wool have been small, con sumers awaiting lower prices. Some cotton mills are storing products. Shoe" factories are fairly busy on or ders for spring delivery. Tho less favorable commercial features are in smaller sales of eloth- insr at St. Louis than expected, the reported prospects for a check to de mand from country merchants at Chicago after January 1, a smaller volume of jobbing business at St. Paul than a year ago, and backward collections South and Southwest. On the other hand, the general business outlook in the Southwest, except in Texas, is bright, New Orleans anticipates a heavy winter and spring trade; Texas trade pros pects are tied up in the cotton yield there, which has been somewhat underestimated.

The Woodburn Independent of last week says: "Simon is not particular about cap turing the whole state next spring. Multnomah is all he desires for a re starter. He will look beyond the confines of that county, and extend his organization, after next spring. He has one great advantage over his adversaries in having the reputation of endeavoring to fulfill all his prom ises, ana not promising tne impossi ble." Business Conditions. That President Roosevelt will deal with divorce and the need of more uniform divorce laws throughout the land in his forthcoming annual mes sage to Congress is the burden of a report current in Washington. Many prominent persons have talked with him on the subject. Prominent clergymen have sought his aid, it is said, to influence sentiment toward the curtailment of hurry-up divorce statutes. Of course, divorce laws are a matter of state legislation, and the federal government has nothing to do with them. But the President, it is argued by some interested per sons, might easily take advantage of the prominence recently jriven this subject to touch upon it in his annual message, and to express at least the hope that there might be a national tendency toward restriction of divorce lawB, which are now a temptation for many to seek relief from the married state. Should the President bring this subject to the attention of the country it possibly would be coupled with some reference to race suicide. t has been suggested that the Pres ident might put forward as a step to ward a betterment of the existing situation a recommendation that Con gress appoint a committee to investi gate and frame laws more uniform and thus provide for a national mar riage law.
