IN the HOUSE.
Military Academy Bill Passed-t Carries an
Appropriation Of 100000.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The House,
Saturday, passed the military academy
appropriation bill, carrying about
100000. This amount is considerably
less than the estimates, but more than
recent appropriation bills Of this char
acter. Marsh, ILL.,, in charge of the
bill, explained that the increased total
was due to the need of renOvating the
library and furnishing the new Cullom
hall.
The discussion diverged from the
military academy bill, when Griggs,
Ga, took up the Presidents recent Ut
terances as to government care for
Confederate graves. He referred to
the devotion of Southern men to the
country, from the days of Appomattox
to those of Santiago. Let there be an
end, therefore, he urged. to the con-
slant reiteration of reconciliation be-
tween the sections. That reconcilia-
ton had long ago been accomplished.
and with the new generation of the
South, the younger men, there was no
need of reconciliation, as there had
been no separation.
I'VE accept the words of the Presi-
dent in good faith said Griggs. but
we insist that this shall be the last
reconciliation of the sections. Let this
be the final ratification of the treaty
of peace between the North and
South
Griggs' speech was warmly APP
plauded.
The military academy bill was then
passed substantially as reported
After 3 o'clock, the House devoted it's
attention to eulogistic speeches on
Thomas H. Benton and Frank p. Blair.
whose statues have been presented for
erection in Statuary hail. The resoIu-
ton accepting the statues was
agreed to.
The House committee on invalid pen
sions reported favOrably on the Sen
ate bill pensioning Gen. John NJ
Palmer of Illinois, the amount being
reduced from 800 to $50. At AS the
House adjourned.

M raE SENATE.
Chiffon and Wolcott on Expansion and Rati.
ficatIon q Peace Treaty.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Saturday was
another day Of expansion oratory IN
the Senate. In the open session the
speakers were Chiffon, Tex, and VOL
colt, Col. The former made consti-
tutionai argument in support OF the
vest resolution. and the latter an elo-
quent-almost mpassioned-appeal for
the ratification of the treaty.
AT the opening of the session Allen
Neb.. offered the following resolution:
That the Senate of the United
states in ratifying and confirming the
treaty of Paris does not commit itself
or the government to the doctrine that
the islands acquired by virtue of the
war with Spain are to be annexed to
or to become a part of the United
states. and that the difference in the
language of said treaty as respects the
island OF Cuba and it's inhabitants, and
the island Of Porto Rico and Philippine
islands and their Inhabitants, shall not
De construed or be held to be differ
ence in effect. but that it is the inten-
ton and purpose of the Senate in rati-
Tying said treaty to place the inhabi-
tants of the Philippine islands and
Porto Rico in exactly the same posi-
ton as respects their relations to the
United States as are the inhabitants of
Cuba
Allen gave notice that he would ad-
dress the Senate upon the resolution,
Monday.
At 2.15 p. NJ, the Senate went into
executive session, during which an
other effort was made to secure unani-
nous consent to vote on the resolu-
tons interpretative of the peace trea-
ty, but it was refused by the opponents
of the treaty.
There was also another effort to Sc
cure general consent to an earlier
meeting, Monday. but this also was re-
fused. The result was an adjournment
until II o'clock Monday. without any
conditions.
Morgan occupied the attention of the
Senate in a very forcibie argumcn, II.
support of the treaty, contending that
there were no constitutional impede
ments in the way of acquiring the
Philippines. They could be acquired
under international law. and the con-
stitution gave full scope to legislation
for the control of International affairs
AT 5.25 the Senate adjourned.

Rival Armies of Ants Fight n Bat
tie in the SchoolrOom.
(From the New York SUM-

FROM the New II oTk sun
A missionary who is in charge of the
Catholic school at Mpala, on Lake Tan
ganyika, tells of an extraordinary battle
between ants i'm his schoolroom, which
The pupils and their teacher were COM
PEELED to abandon in haste when the in
pading foe appeared on the scene. The de-
serted room became the theratre of hotly
contested battle between the ants that had
their homes in the cracks of the stone walls
and another species which advanced to the
fight from the fields. The thousands of
ants living In the walls are known to the
natives as Masumbolo. They are very
large and black. and as il is almost impos-
sible TO get rid of them. and they have the
excellent quality Of letting human beings
alone. little attention is paid to them. The
invading ants were not more than a third
as large as the other species. They are
called Siafou and are nomads and thieves
by nature. When they discovered the
home of the peaceful black insects they felt
certain that rich booty of larvae awaited
them and lost no time in advancing to
the attack.
Their squadrons moved forward in close
files. They clambered up the doorsteps
and into Tine room, moving very rapidly,
and began the fiercest sort of an attack
upon the enemy. whom they surprised at
home engaged in their peaceful occupa-
fion. Though the Masumbolo are so much
larger than their fierce little enemies. they
could not stand against these formidable
aggressors. who are most effectively
armed with the sharpest and hottest of
pincers. So the attacked insects made
scarcely any resistance, but gathered up
as much Of their larvae as they could carry
and fed al the top of their speed. They
fairly carpeted the i!Cor as they moved to-
ward the doors. while their conquerors lost
nc time in further attack upon the un-
resisting fugitiyes. but began TO pillage the
city that had been so suddenly abandoned.
A few minutes later. however. The Sia-
fou paid very dearly for The raid they had
made. Dozens of the school children ap-
piled wisps of burning straw to the cracks
which the cOnQuering ants had entered
and burned them al The very place of theiI
victory.
