A BATTLE OF ANTS.

| The attaches of the White House. to- gether with score of visitors who were passing through the grounds, were in terested spectators yesterday morning
 of one of the most unique and bloody battles ever fought in this city, The l combatants were ants, and two armies lined up to decide which should have
 possession of the grounds at the north west corner of the Executive Mansion
 According to one of the gardeners the
 fight started shortly before ten o'clock.
 A line of large black ants on an excur-
 sion across the asphalt walk encoun-
 tered an army of small red ants headed
 in an opposite direction. The two bod
 ies were about to cross one another,
 when several of the warriors in the van
 of each party began fierce tussle.
 This was the signal for free fight, and
 within few seconds the whole walk
 was covered with a squirming, wrig-
 gling mass of tiny red and black forms.
 Both sides were joined by reinforce
 ments after about ten minutes of war
 fare, and before the battle had been in
 progress for a half hour it was estima- ted that more than one thousand of the little insects were endeavoring to tear one another to pieces
 The battle lasted for nearly three hours, or until after one o'clock, when the red ants gained a signal victory.
 When the fight was over the battle ground was as clear as though no con flict had occurred. When a black ant managed to kill or overpower one of the enemy he immediately seized his body and ran off to the grass, where he de- posted the remains either in a hill or beneath piece of debris The red ants followed out the same plan with the big black fellows, and here and there a tiny warrior was seen carrying off body three times as big as himself No official report was made as to the cas- ualties, but it is estimated that the red army killed two of the enemy to every one killed on its side. Several bets were made as to the outcome by those who witnessed the fight. Two to one was given on the black ants, as sympa- thy was with the little red fellows who, while the big black insects seemed toS1 be out of condition and unable to de- fend themselves, after all proved them selves trained warriors.

4 SENSTzIVE BURGLAR.

That is rather interesting burglar
 who has made his appearance in Iowa.
 He was seized with a curious impulse
 to rob lawyer. He got into the law yers office, and after working at the l safe long and hard, succeeded In fore | ing it open, and secured a few cents In loose change and f1fty-dollar bill
 The fifty-dollar bill didn't make him suspicious, and he tried to spend 1t. When he tried 1t was discovered that
 the bill was a counterfeit, and he was promptly arrested for having counter felt money in his possession. He tried to explain his innocence to the court, but the court wouldn't be convinced. and he was sentenced to ten years in the State prison for having counterfeit money in his possession and being to that extent a counterfeiter In vain did he show that he knew nothing of the character of the bill, and that he was innocent of it's manufacture or is- sue. He now petitions the authorities for release on the ground of false inn prisonment.
 If this burglar had been sentenced to ten years in State prison for being burglar he probably wouldn't have said word, but it does hurt his sensitive soul to be falsely charged with being a handler of counterfeit money. Perhaps the lawyer from whom he took the bill will come to his aid in the interests of exact justice. It Is evident that man who Is only burglar has right to feel sensitive about his good name.

NO UNDUE HASTE.

This country has certainly been good to the anarchists. AS long ago as 1894 the senate passed a bill providing that no foreign anarchist should be allowed to land in the United States, and that all aliens who had shown themselves to be followers of the anarchistic propa- ganda should be deported. That meas ure, in line with what many have ad- vocated during the last few days was the result of information sent from French officials to the State department announcing that band of banished French anarchists was coming to our shores. The bill was passed without debate in the senate, but certain mem- bers of the house objected to nasty ac- tion upon it. and congress adjourned before a vote was taken in the lower branch,
 If at the next session of congress some bill should be passed that would restrict the freedom of murderous an- in this free country no charge of undue haste could properly be made.

RUSSIA IN NANCE URIA.

A Moscow correspondent of the Lon don Standard sends some interesting
 information concerning the permanent character of the Russian occupation of
 Manchuria. He quotes some plain
 speaking on the subject from the Mo-
 vosti, as follows. "The occupation of
 Manchuria was unconditional and com
 plete in all respects, and 1t was the re-
 suit of a war formally conducted, in
 which no other troops but those of Rus-
 sia and China had any hand. It was
 undertaken by Russia against her will.
 It was an operation of painful neces-
 sity. Russia's sphere of influence in
 this region had been so clearly defined, and her interests were so vital and gen erally acknowledged, that England can have nothing to object to in the occu- patton per SC. We have conquered Manchuria and shall remain there just as long as we please. That is Rus sia's answer to all England's protests however politely and Automatically the actual wording of it may be made. The threats of the British press that our action may end In a war are ground less. England has had enough of wars by this time" The correspondent goes on to say that this is no empty boast According to his private intelligence the army of occupation consists of not less than one hundred thousand men, already on the spot. Barracks, sub stantial brick creations, have been built, and will be ready for use before the winter closes in. By that time the railroad is expected to be and the troops in Siberia, north of the Amur river, numbering not less than fifty thousand men, will be available at any moment to rein force the forces in the eastern part of the territory seized by Russia; while the same line from the west will draw upon the garrisons of central Siberia, and eventually of central Asia and European Russia.

It seems to be now reason ably certain that this nation is to be spared the grief and disturbance that the death of the President would cause The people are as thankful as they dare to be now, and when the time for a full and formal expression of their thank fulness comes it will be solemnly cheerful occasion.

KING EDWARDS INDIAN TITLE

KING EDWARDS INDIAN TITLE. Now that the subject of the royal titles is again being canvassed may I
 be permitted to, point out, through the
 medium of your columns. that the title Kaisar-i- Hind" officially adopted as
 the translation of Emperor of India -
 Is q misnomer? The late lamented pr.
 Leitner persuaded Lord Beaconsfieid
 that Kaisar was an Oriental equivalent
 for Emperor but it is not so; 1t has
 only it's original meaning of Caesar.
 and Is never applied to any ruler ex-
 cept the sultan of Turkey. who is some
 times spoken of by Arabic and Persian
 writers as the Kaisar of Rum-i e, the
 Caesar of Rome-the Oriental histori-
 ans treating the Ottoman empire as
 the continuation of the Roman empire of the east When the Kalsar Is spok-
 en of or written of in the Mussulman
 world, the Ottoman Sultan is always
 understood. But in India the word Is quite unknown, except to students of Arabic and Persian historical works, and I never heard the Empress Victoria called Kaisar by native of India. hTey always spoke of her as the Ma lika-i- Mu' azima, or Great Queen. The proper equivalent for emperor in the Hindustani language is Padishan, and the Pathan and Mogul emperors of h. dia were always called by that title. In Turkish and Persian newspapers the word "Imperator" is used to describe the emperors of Russia and Germany, and in the late Shah's diary of his tour in Europe, he used the words 'Impera- tor' and "Imperatris' for Emperor and Empress" But the Mussulman Journalists of India. who are quite cut off from the rest of the world of Islam, have adopted the word "Shahinshah." literally King of Kings" as the translation of Emperor" This happens to be the peculiar title of the sovereigns of Persia as Kaisar is of the sovereign of Turkey. or an Asiatic the title Kaisar-i-H Hind sounds outre as he title Sultan of England, applied to VII, would sound to an Eng in the Spectator.
