FIGHTING FISH.
Peculiar Animals That Are Founti

Peculiar Animals That Are Found
Only In siomesc Waters.
A favOritc recreation In Siam Is
watching The fighting fish. species Of
fish found In tho waters OF no other
country. The fish cannot live In unity
and " two are placed In n bowl they
will Instantly engage In struggle ito
the death"
1t Is no unusual thing to see In tile
streets Of Siam crowds OF natives chat
tering and gesticulatlng around n bowl
containing a number OF these fish,
which they bet on In the snme way ms
more civilized people do on race horses.
Intense excitement relgns among the
natives as they watch the fish fighting
within the bowl.
These peculiarly quarrelsome Ash nre
very similar to the common pike In an
pearance, with the exception TINT they
are not In the possession Of gills. Their
fins. too. are remarkably sharp. and
these they use with terrible effect upon
one another. Blood oozes from their
sides, and yet they persist In fighting
until perhaps only two arc left alive,
and then the survivors turn on one an
other until only one is left out Of per-
haps dozen placed In the tub.
Although the fighting fish are ex-
ceptionally good to eat. the majority Of
natives esteem them only for their
fighting propensIties, which affords
them amusement and excitement every
day.

QUESTION OF JURISDICTION.
Power Of Civil Courts Over Persons
Arrested on Military Reservations.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., July o.
The War Department has now on hand
another interesting case involving the
Jurisdiction of civil courts over per.
sons committing offences on military
reservation.
a soldier of the Porto Rican provis.
i0nal regiment. stationed at San Juan
sentry. shot and killed Il trespasscr
on the military reservation. The In.
sular court undertook to investigate
the case, but the commanding officer
oil the post denied It's right to serve
a process on the reservation, claiming
that 1t was exclusively under the juris-
dtctiOn or the United States District
Court. Meanwhile the soldier was
tried and acquitted by collrt-martia!.
subsequent correspondence between
the War and Navy departments re.
yealed the fact that the United States
and insular courts OF the island took
different views as to the right to Try
persons for crimes committed on Unit.
ed States military reservations
In order to settle this important
question. the commanding officer of
the post In San Juan has now been
instructed to permit the service Of
process to the point of placing the ac.
cused soldier under arrest, and the
Department of Justice has been rc-
auested to direct the United States
District Attorney for Porto Rico to sue
out writ of habeas corpus directed
against the district court, thus bring
ing the matter before the United
States court. An appeal from its find
ings can then be taken by either party
TO the United States Supreme Court.
