DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD Will Drive Half Naked Negroes and llarefuoted Children From th Cotton Plcldi and Stop IMcklny. Houston, Tex., July 4. J, Rom Clark, a prominent planter of Calhoun county, tates that he will apply for an In junction to prevent the government transport bringing tht Ouatemalan ant Into Teias aa an Insect enemy of the boll weevil, It waa atated recently that Government Entymotoglat Cook Is now en route wth a large number of the ants, the first lot of which are to be taken to Victoria, In which county II r. Clark has Interests and which ad joins Calhoun county, where bis plan- tat kin is located. Mr. Clurk said as to the basis of bis petition; ' - : 5 "To my mind it ts a serous and dangerous matter to transport a South Amercan nsect or pest to south Texas. One-half the cotton Is picked by ne groes who do not wear enough clothes to make a whole shirt, and the other half by barefooted children. This ant, to be of avail in destroying the weevil, must cover the entire Add, and anyone who has had a few of the native ants ting him will realise that it will be Impossible to get the cotton picked." MIMIC WAR AT AMERICAN LAKE. Annual Army Maneuvers of Depart ment of Columbia. Forty-five hundred men who are to take part In the annual army maneu vers of the department of the Colum bia this year have fixed their thoughts fon American lake, seven miles from ETacoma, on Tuget sound, where ama teur fighting will be on from July 7 to 15, inclualve. These men whose thoughts have turned to mimic war Include S.E0O from the regular army post of Vancouver barracks, Fort Wright (Spokane) , and Fort Walla Walla: 1000 from the Oregon National guard, and COO from the Idaho Na tional guard. Included In the list is the Tenth United States infantry, now en route from California, and which will be permanently stationed at Van couver, General Frederick Funston, comman der of the department of the Columbia, and the officers of the mllltla of the three states participating have mapped out all the preliminary plans for the two weeks of war. One of these offi cers said: "General Funston and Ms staff are to have their headquarters at the post office of Murray, which Is on the North ern Paclflo railroad, midway between the two divisions that are to carry on the war. These opposing forces will be from eight to nine miles apart, the American lake camping grounds com prising 10,000 acres, being ample for such extensive maneuvers. "Of the two opposing brigades, the first is to be la command of Colonel Godfrey. U. 8. A, of Fort Walla Walla, and under him will be the Nineteenth United States infantry of Vancouver; the Second Infantry, W. N. O.; a sep arate battery of four companies, O.

"la addition to those named above, Colonel Thompson of Vancouver is to have charge of the signal corps." THE DUTCH THRONE. Interest in Probable Sueeesslen Rife in Court Circles. Official announcement Is made of the fact that Queen Wllhelmlna of Hol land has hopes once more of present ing to the nation an heir to the throne, whose advent will dispel the fear which the Dutch now entertain of seeing the crown of the Netherlands pass to a German prince or princess, which would mean, of course, that the kingdom would become to all Intents and pur poses a port of the confederation known as the German empire. A good deal of anxiety is entertalnej with regard to the queen. She has been in a frail condition of health ever since her premature confinement, two years ago, and her appearance has become so wan and unhappy looking that it is difficult to recognize In her today the healthy, hearty, sunny faced girl of three years ago. Indeed, she has lost all the bloom of youth, and gives one the Impression of a woman at least 10 or IS years older than ber actual age. Three other women occupying thrones are looking forward to the birth of children In the present summer, and in the case of each, as In that of Queen Wllhelmlna, dynastic considerations are entertained that the child will prove a boy, and thus assure direct succession to the crown. One is the empress of Russia, another the queen of Italy, while the third is the crown princess of Luxemburg, whose husband is regent of bis father's grand duchy. Should the crown princess, who has already six girls, now give birth to a seventh,, the throne would at any rate remain to her children, and would, falling male issue, be inherited by ber eldest daughter, the 10-year-old Prin cess Marie. But with the empress of Russia and the queen of Italy it Is different. For if they do not become mothers of sons, the thrones of their husbands will pass to kinsmen, who are not In sympathy with their ideas, po litical and administrative. to the door. Ragal fell behind the bar with a wound In his breast. The rob bers fled before the police arrived. JAPS BUYING HORSES. Hsve Plaeed Order for 10100 Selected Csvalry Animals. New York, July 4.
