Panama “fonts 'to" Be Adopted.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.——An appli-
cation for annexation to the United
States has been made to this government
by the state of Panama, one of the politi-
cal subdivisions of the United States of
lolombia. The state of Panama has re-
fused to recognize the authority of the
lolombiun government, and there has
been much internal trouble on that ac—
count. So far. however, the state has
not been able to establish an independent
government. and as it has no sovereign
rights the United States cannot regard
the application. The state of Panama
embraces geographically the isthmus of
that name and is a very important part
of Colombian territory.

_Most Remarkable Battle
'in the Air.
Lieut. Col. Andrew C. P. Haggard, an
I elder brother of Rider Haggard, the
novelist, recently returned from a trip
to Newfoundland, and tells of a re-
markable sight he saw while sitting on
the seashore with' a guide with whom
he had .been fishing for salmon in the
Terra Nova river. They had been
watching for some time the evdlutions
of a white-headed eagle, called by the
Newfoundlanders a “grip.” After soar-
ing round in several circles above and
in front of them the eagle suddenly
dashed down into a pool of wafer near
them On the beach and reappeal
ing an enormous lobster in his ta“ is.
It was an old lobster, with a. huge
claw, white with .barnacles. The eagle
had him clutched firmly around the
back, and at first the huge claw hung
helplessly down. the barnacles shining
white in the sunlight. This was only
for a second, though. The ripples on
the recently disturbed pool had not yet
died away when thecaptivelobster sud:
denly awoke to the seriousness of 'the
situation, and to think was to act. Up
moved the great white barnacled claw
until it seized the eagle round the neck.
'There was a furious fluttering and beat-
ing of the eagle’s wings, a melancholy
rsquawk from his choking throat, and
then, tumbling and rolling head over
heels in the air in a confused mass,
down came the eagle and lobster again
splash back into the pool.
The two spectators of the scene
rushed forxm'd, thinking that they
could perhaps in some way secure both
combatants, for the splashing of the
conflict continued in shallow water.
But they had hardly time to pick up
a stone apiece to throw at the eagle
before the lobster, feeling himself at
home again, let go his hold. With his
neck all torn and devoid of feathers,
away flew the bedraggled eagle, in most
melancholy guise, to a neighboring
cliff, while the lobster, to give Col. Hag-
gard’s own words, “still brandishing
his enormous claw in defiance, re-
mained smiling at the bottom of the
pool.” ,
CHRONIC LOSER OF TICKETS.
A Profitable Scheme “forked by on
, Indigent Old Woman on the
Traveling Public. '
A respectably dressed old woman, ap~
‘parently in deep distress, was noticed
standing at the foot of the steps of an
elevated railroad station the other day
just at the hour when the rush was at.
its height. The woman had apparent—
ly lost something of value. .She
searched her pockets, shook out her
skirts and scanned the ground on every
side. Of course, it was not long before
,her distress attracted the notice of,
passersby. “I have lost my ticket,” she'
said, in answer to the query of a man,
who stopped for a moment in his rush.
-“I don’t know what to
for the. train.
do, for I have not. a nickel with me and
I live away uptown.” .
The man, says the New York Sun,
pulled a string of tickets from his pock-
et, tore off one, handed it to the woman
and resumed his rush without waiting
for her thanks. But the woman did not
follow. She merely moved across to the
flight of steps on the other side. Here
she resumed her search, with the result
that a nickel was transferred to her
pocket by a passing woman. Next she
crossed the avenue and gathered some
more nickels and tickets from the pas-
sengers going in the opposite direction,
finally returning to her original stand
where her plight attracted as much
compassion. as before. While the ob-
server was looking on, the woman made
two rounds of the stairs, each round oc-
cu pying about. ten minutes. Sometimes
she was able to conduct three or four
successful operations without chang-
ing her position. It is probable that her
average earnings were at the rate of
two dollars in nickels and negotiable
tickets an hour.
BRITISH REGIMEN TS.
Dublin Fusileers Raised in India and
the Royal Rifles Organized
in New York.
The names of the British regiments
are not to be taken as indicating much.
The Royal Dublin fusilicrs, to which,
according to one dispafch, the credit
for the capture of the Boers’ position
should be accorded, is aregiment raised
in India some 200 years ago, which in
all probability has never been in he-
land. ’It got the name probably for
the reason that at the time of the re-
3rganizat’ion of the army :in 1881 three
battalions of Irish militia were attached
to it as its reserve.
The Royal Rifle corps, which is re-
ported to have lost heavily in its charge
on the Boers, is a famous regiment
which was organized in New York in
1775. It was originally known as the
“Sixty-second Royal American regi-
ment of foot.” One hundred years ago ‘
the regiment. was famous for 'the
marksmanship of its members. To-‘day
it. is famous for the same reason, and n0-
torious from the fact that it includes
any number of “bad boys” who were en-
listed to be straightened out. It is an
interesting reminder of our own little
trouble with Great Britain. v,

with the interests of the guard and the
