Ants kill the drones in their communities.
Other insects with the constructive instincts
do the same things with their useless hangers
on. In England, in places where rocks most
abound, there are particular trees which the
bulk of rock company appear to have desig
mated as unfit for habitation; and if any
young and inexperienced rockets start to
build nests there the others come and tear
the nests to pieces, apparently by way of
punishment and warning. Both rocks and
crows, moreover, are said by close observers
to hold courts or parlaments at which, amid
much chattering, they seem to settle dis
putes and try offenders; and justice of the
severest kind is meted out to those members
of flock on whom the others have set the

will set forth the Russian standpoint
on the passport question, as well as the
circumstances leading TO Sae Russian
American conflict, together with cop
ies of notes exchanged between both
governments.

Russian ministry of commerce to de

the expiration Of the commercial treaty
with the United States it was decided
for the present not to make any altera-
ton I'm the existing customs duties on
American imports unless such action
should be necessitated by American
discrimination against Russian exports
One report says that the passport
question cannot be further discussed
because the manner and form In which
the question was raised by the United
States was a serious offense to Russia
as great power. Under other condi.
tions-that is, had America broached
the subject in more diplomatic and
considerate fashion-the czar is report
ed to have said that the question might
have found a different and a favorable
solution.

Then Mr.. Rouloff remained quiet and

The rope was lowered to Rouloff, and
after he had fastened it under his arms
he was drawn up.
