Washington, d. c., September 21.-
Attorney General McKenna to-day an
nounced his opinion in the matter Of
section % of the new tariff law. He
holds in effect that goods coming di-
rectly into the United States from for
eign countries through Canadian ports
are not subject to the discriminating
duty of ten per cent. and also holds
that foreign goods shipped from coun-
tries other than British possessions
in British vessels are not subject to
the discriminating duty.
Two questions were asked the Attor-
ney General.
The first of which was, in effect,
whether the discriminating duty of ten
per cent. provided for in section %
should be assessed against an invoice
of tea from China which had arrived
at Vancouvre in British vessels and
thence shipped through Canada to
Chicago.
The second qeustion was whether the
discriminating duty should be assessed
against cargo Of manganese ore from
Chile which recently arrived in a Brit
ish ship at Philadelphia Both these
questions the Attorney General an
swers in the negative.

 But we might have suspected that all the openwork grenadines and "all- overs' would lead to 1ace Black lace over white silk, which was worn so much few years ago, is being revived. even for girls, though the combination should be the exclusive right of gray hair. Black lace over black silk, how ever, will be the special wear, and since the fashion has been revived so late it will be run into afternoon and recep- ton use this winter. All-over nets will be used rather than lace by many, but those who have or can afford lace will use it, and the fashion is sure to be a welcomed one till the market is glutted with cheap limitations that will take the charm out of even the real things.
 Shown here is one of the early mod els, a white satin covered with black chantilly lace net figured with very small designs. The skirt showed a band of rich black lace insertion at either side of the front, the same in sertion appearing on the front and back of the bodice, which was slightly blous- ed over a bluet satin belt The yoke had white satin collar and it and the sleeves were adjustable, thus making possible low cut dress without re- modelling the gown, the fluffy tulle ber- tha and epaulets forming all the nec- essary finish for the low dress.

ANTS IN BATTLE.
A San Francisco Naturalist Describes

A San FranclSco NatuFdlsL DescllpeS
 A War Between Hostile Tribes.
 Go to the ant, thou slugger, and learn
 how to slug. The common black ant,
 called by scientists formica herculanea,
 of whose homely joys and destiny obs cure we take so little account, is one of the best fighters in that great world in whose drama he plays so infnitesi- nal a part.
 There have been mighty battles on this terrestrial ball, but not the con- ficts of Tamerlane's tribes with the
 hosts of Western Asia, nor the wars of the legions of Caius Julius Caesar with their enemies of the North, ever in- volved so many combatants or re- suited in so many fatalities as did a
 recent battle in Larkspur Canyon. un- der the shadow of Tamalpais. It was war, grim war, waged all day long and into the evening, and on its conclusion the field was strewn not with thousands
 merely, but with millions of the slain. A burning brush heap was in uncom- fortable proximity to an ant city, and. fleeing from their Pompeii in a frantic horde, the sleek, black inhabitants. with their great white-winged queen

the tree, The giant turned to the fight CTS under the glass. They were stand ing upon their hindmost legs and paw ing the air with their feelers. One had seized the other by a front leg and his antagonist was in turn fencing for chance upon his head, stretching his pincers to their utmost and striving in an excess of combativeness to get that much desired and always decisive neck hold, Thus they struggled for nearly an hour, when, by dint of that wonder full power of exertion which gives this ant the name of herculanea, the leg pinched fellow managed to inflict a death wound. Then the other keeled gracefully and lay stock still But yet his mandibles clutched that leg. They were locked upon it more fixedly than grip clutches cable. For a long time the victor labored to release himself, and the giant, assisting him all he could with sharpened twigs, could give him no aid that would result in the loss of the leg. So the victor, whose victory seemed dubious, everything considered, walked off the handker- chief, dragging the vanquished with him among the dead leaves, and was soon lost to view.
 Returning to the battlefield, the giant saw the fight was going on as fero- ciously as ever. The number of war riors, however, had grown less, and the number of slain had swelled prodi- giously. With some flour procured from a cottage up the canyon few thousands of the Trojans who were not yet in the fight were coated like millers, to distinguish them from the Greeks,

 worth mentioning this year perhaps the
 Indian summer will be an early and a
 long one. If it isn't Indian corn will
 not fare very well, either on the coast
 or in the interior. There has already
 been much bad weather for corn, espe- cially in the New York stock exchange and the Chicago board of trade. The weather may grow better there, ire

HANG ON AND HOPE.

We do not wish to encourage specu- ter the experience New Haven has had in mines perhaps no encoura cement that could be given would start new mining fever here. But for the encour- agement of those who have had the fev- CT and who have evidence of their sick ness in the shape of some absolutely nom assessab ble' and appropriately green certificates we take pleasure in saying that there Is bare possibility that mining stock may be valuable, even after it has become apparently worthless, according to the usual pro- gramme in such cases made and pro- vided. For instance, Wisconsin shoemaker who bought some mining shares at ten cents on the dollar some years ago, and who was afterward unable to give them away in order to escape the payment of taxes on them, has now an offer of S37 GOO for what cost him $750, and is not quite ready to take 1t, because he thinks he can perhaps do better than that
 Those of our readers who haven't giv- en away or thrown away their mining stock would perhaps do well to hold on to it little while longer, if assessments on it have stopped and 1t isn't costing them anything except vain regret to hold. We do not suppose that anybody will come along and offer them 37Oo0 for it. If anybody does we advise them to take 1t. But the Wisconsin mans experience does give them some reason to "hang on and hope And as that is about all they have ever had reason to do it will not hurt them much more to do it some more. And just think of $37, 900 for $7.5O! Why, that is even more than most of the holders of min- ing stock were promised when they first bought.

AN ENGLISHMAN ON ENGLAND.

When England gets through with the trouble on the Afghan frontier she will doubtless have the frontier about where she wants it. General Sir John Adye. in a letter to the London Times, main tains that the outbreak is the direct outcome of what is called the forward policy by which the British impose themselves and their authority upon the independent border tribes who in- habit the secluded valleys far away amid the great mountain ridges which radiate souther1y from the many crests of the Hindu-kush. He points out that when, early in 1895, the British repre- sentative in Chitral, with small force, was surrounded and in great peril, it became necessary to move troops of all arms, and in considerable numbers, from Peshawar and other places as quickly as possible to prevent a catas-
 trophe. It also became necessary, in order to reach the distant valley of Chitral, to pass across the adjacent val ley of Swat and other territory inhab- tied by independent tribes with whom England had no cause of quarrel. At the commencement of the short cam paign of 1895 proclamation was is- sued assuring these tribes that when their object had been achieved the British forces would withdraw and would in no way interfere with the iiI- dependence and liberties of the tribes whose territories they were compelled temporarily to traverse. But when the war was over the English government changed it's policy, and instead of with drawing from the country has contin- ued to occupy it; has constructed a road, and established permanent forti- fled posts along the line of communica- tion from British territory to the far distant valley of ChitraL The General maintains that all this has been dis

The oldest printing press in America is in the State of Georgia. '"The date of its birth is lost in antiquity" says the Atlanta Constitution, ''but there has never been any doubt in the minds of the editors who have manipulated it that it was old enough to know better.
 It is cross between the hand-press invented by Washington and a neglect ed cornsheller, and is curiously in- scribed with the desperate hieroglyph- ics of ancient and Iong-suffering edi- tors. Its joints creaked, as with rheu- matism, and when the paper went to press it had way of falling down and so mixing up the railroad schedules that the trains never knew what time to leave. Every blacksmith in the county has exhausted his skill upon it, and it has been patched and prayed over until it is mere remnant of its former self.
