A Large Number of Contests to Be
Brought Up In December.
MOST PAPERS INCOMPLETE.
. Some Interesting Cases W'hich Will Be
Heard—Most of the Contestants Are
Republicans—Complete List
of Seats In Dispute.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—Not one of the
contests filed against the members of the
new house of representatives is complete.
In most of them the testimony furnished
on behalf of the contestants and contestecs
has been deposited with the clerk, but in
none have the contestants filed their testi-
mony in rebuttal. In the Beiknap-Mc.
Gann case from the Third Illinois district,
Mr. McGann has not yet furnished his
testimony. which according to law he
should have done within 40 days after that
of the contestant. Although this is the law
the house is not always guided by the
statute if satisfactory explanations for the
delay are furnished. In the Beattie—Price
case from the Third Louisiana, for in-
stance, Mr. Price’s testimony was delayed
by smallpox which was epidemic in cer-
tain parts of his district. Although no
official information has been received to
that effect it is understood at the clerk‘s
office here that R. A. Chcsebrough, who
filed notice of contest against George B.
McClellan of the Twolfth New York, has
abandoned his contest. In the other New
York cases (Mitchell against Walsh in the
Eighth and Campbell against Minor in
the Ninth) the contestecs have not filed
their testimony owing to some local hitch
and Mitchell, it is understood, charges
Walsh with attempting to delay the case.
Most Conte stunts Republicans.
All the contestants in the 30 cases are
Republicans save Goodrich, who is contest-
ing Cobb’s S( at in the Fifth Alabama, and
Campbell, who is contesting Miner‘s seat.
Goodrich is a Populist woo had the Re-
publican indorscmcnt, and Can pboll ran
as an independent Democratic candidate.
The general opinion is that the cases oi
these contestants who are seated by the
next house will have to be very meritori-
ous as the Republican majority is over-
wheiming and there is no political emer-
gency which would tend to make the
members look on contests with anythirg
but an impartial eye.
When the majority of a party in the
house is small, there is always a tendency,
in the bitterness of political feeling, to
increase the majority by the admission ol
all contestants whose cases have any merit
at all. In the {fifty-first congress, for in-
stance, when the Republicans had but six
majority, 11 of the 17 Democrats whose
seats were contested were ousted, while in
the last congress, where the Democrats had
about 130 majority, but three Republicans
of the nine whose title to their seats was
questioned were unseated and two of the
cases were never even acted upon.

THE RATTLESNA‘KE.
COMMON ERRORS REGARDING ITS
FIGHTING ABILITIES.
Doesn't Have to Coil Before Striking and
Kills by a. Blow—Quickly Replaces Lost
Fangs—He Will Not. Go Out of His Way
to Attack Anything.
“Nobody was ever bitten by a rattle:
snake, and nobody ever will be," saida
man who has studied them. “And the
reason is the best that could possibly be.
A rattlesnake can't bite. It isn’t likely
that any creature that lives and is pro-
vided with teeth and jaws has less pow-
er of biting. The snake’s jaws are not
hinged. They are attached to each other
by an elastic cartilage. Thus the snake
has no leverage whatever in closing one
jaw against the other. and if it attempt-
ed to inflict injury by biting it couldn’t
so much as pierce the skin. The fangs
of a rattlesnake are driven into the
flesh by a stroke, not a bite, as is well
shown by the fact that punctures are
made only by the armament of the up»
per jaw. The lower jaw has nothing to
do with the act. A man striking a boat
hook into a log is an exact representa-
tion of the manner in which the rattle-
snake bites. So whenever any one tells
you about some one else being bitten by
a rattlesnake bet him it isn’t so. You’ll
win. It is an impossibility for a rattle-
snake to‘bite. \
“But although the rattlesnake can’t
bite, if you’re fooling around in a coun-
try where ho is spending the summer,
you want to keep your eye peeled. And
there is one particular thing you don’t
want to forget. It is a common and.
widespread fallacy that a rattlesnake is
entirely harmless so long as he is un-
coiled. I believed that once and found
out by a startling personal experience
that it wasn’t so. It is true that when
a rattlesnake is stretched at full length,
with the muscles extended to the utmost,
he could not strike an inch forward,
but from that position he can strike
backward his full length and with
lightninglike velocity. One day I drop-
ped a big stone on the head of a big
rattler that lay in this position, crush-
ing the head, the stone lying partly on
the head. After gazing for some time
at the quivering reptile so suddenly
taken from life, I stooped down to re-
move his rattles. I had no sooner
touched his tail thap his mutilated head
flew back, and almost grazing my
cheek struck the sleeve of my coat just
below the shoulder, where both fangs
were buried, pulling out of the jaw and
remaining in the sleeve as the snake
fell back to the ground. They had not
missed my cheek by more than a hair’s
breadth. With precaution I have made
that test of a rattlesnake’s capacity of
striking in that way many times since
then, and the snake always struck. The
instinct is so strong in this reptile that
I have known a rattler two hours after
its head was severed from its body to
strike back fiercely with its bleeding
stump the instant its tail was touched.
“But the typical position of the rat-
tlesnake when intent on deadly assault
is the coil. This is not always a sym-
metrical spiral, ‘but the body is massed
in more or ‘ less regular folds, the mus-
cles are contracted, and the reptile is
literally an animate set spring. From
this position the rattler can spring from
one-half to tWo-thirds of his length.
Before the stroke the mouth is opened
wide,_the fangs falling down from their
‘sockéts in thé uppei‘ jaw and standing
firmly in their position. The head is
thrust forward, the half coils below it
being straightened out to lengthen the
neck and to give power to the strike.
There is no preliminary motion. The
stab is made with abrupt swiftness that
defies escape of the victim. There is but
one strike. ' The snake passes back into
its coil again with the same swiftness
that it threw itself out. As the fangs
enter the flesh the venom is injected. If
the thing struck at is beyond the rat-
tler’s reach, the snake has the power of
squirting its venom in jets, which it
can do toadistance of four feet or more.
“Sometimes a, rattlesnake loses its
fangs in the flesh of the object it strikes,
but‘that does only temporary damage '
to its deadly armory. There are plenty
of incipient fangs lying in the jaw, only
waiting for a chance like that to come
forward and be ‘ in line for business.
They grow very fast, and in the course
of two or three days a rattlesnake that
has lost its fangs is refitted with a
brand new pair. This is a good thing
to remember, for it is the. popular be-
lief that a rattler is made harmless ‘by
extracting its venom fangs. The only
way to render one of these reptiles
harmless, besides killing it, is to apply
redhot iron to the cavities left by the
fangs. This will destroy all the vitality
of thesedangerous parts, and new fangs
will not come in.
“The rattlesnake never pursues his
prey; he waits. He will 'not go out of
his way to attack anything. He will in-,
variably keep on his course if not cor-'
nered or teased. You may stop within»
four inches of a. rattlesnake and will
not be disturbed by it if you keep right
on your way. If you stop, the snake at
once will take it for a challenge and
hit you only too quick. It is said. as if.
by 'authority, that the rattlesnake never
sounds his rattle until he has coiled. If
that is so, rattlesnakes that I have seen
must have been freaks, for they have
rattled when lying at full length and
even when moving, as well as in their
coils. The rattler, when traveling, will
cross lakes and streams, and he swims
with his head and his, rattles raise
well above the water. The force with
which a rattlesnake can strike is such
that I once teased one into striking at a
piece of belting at least a quarter of an
inch thick, and he sent his fangs clear
' through it. ”—New York Sun. '
