The Policy OF Infamy the Subject of
Hot Discussion Today.
Bu The Associated Press.
WARRINGTON, Jan. 23.--In tho Senate
this morning Mr.. r.. Turpio (Dem. Ind, }
from the committee on foreign relations
reported favorably resolution setting
forth that II is unwise !. and
inexpedient to consider at this tinc any
project of annexation of the Hawaiian
Islands to the United States and that the
provisional government therein having
been duly recognized, the
highest international interest requires
that 1t shall pursue its own line Of policy;
foreign Intervention in the political affairs
Of these islands would be regarded as an
action friendly to the government of the
United States.
"I am directed by the committee on
foreign relations" said Senator Turpie,
s'to ask immediate consideration OF this
resolution"
After much exciting discussion the sub
ject of Hawaiian policy was taken up and
speech attacks the presidents policy of
infamy, stating that no matter what
EVENT. took place before Cleveland came
into power, he could only deal with
things as he found them; he denied
American illegal Intervention as un-
asking, aWhere is the man
whose cheek has not blushed with
shame as day by day he is freed to read

Hawaiian policy.

One Ordered Today.
Governor Brown issued an. order
this morning reyoking the call for the
court martial of Captain Hackett and
ordering new court TO be held on Feb
ruary ii, at s o'clock, p. m. The name OF
Captain William McGregor OF Co. H.,
First Regiment Infantry, b. X. 1. M, has
been added as fifth member OF the court.
This course was advised by Col. Walter
r. Stiness, judge advocate of the court. In
examining the manner in which the
charges had been preferred he discovered
that they had depended upon he testi-
mony OF Sergt. Donnelly before the court
of inquiry. As the statute pro-
vides that these shall be made by
superior officer he decided
that II would be advisable to change the
man. The change has now been preferred
by Major Thomas III. Donahue, Captain
Hackett's immediate superior.
In the three charges that have now been
made Captain Hackett is accused OF having
made a false return in his roll, after
having sworn TO its correctness; that he
failed to keep proper and
truthful record OF the duty performed by
his men while in camp, and that he was
guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer
in making a false statement in regard to
the truthfulness OF his reports in letter
written to the Adjutant General.
The new order and the statement OF
charges were served upon Captain Hack
EFT today.

Providence Opera House.
The City Council committee on
shows, accompanied by several AL
dermen, began tour OF inspection
OF play last evening and visited the
Providence Opera House. They liked
Magician Kellar and thought that he gave
a great moral show. Mr.. kellar asked the
audience to name a committee to see that
his cabinet trick was done cup and up"
and no fooling. The gallery selected Al
derman Ambrose II. West, the balcony
called for Alderman Charles Il. Har-
ris, and the parquette elected to be
represented by General g. r.
Dennis. Fate was pursuing the member
of the show committee and instead of
becoming an inspector he became
part of the show. Alderman Vests
first appearance was fairly successful
but he was a trife nervous as the mis-
placing OF the glasses under the cabinet
legs demonstrated. General Dennis and
Alderman Harris seemed to be most at
home with the spook show.

ANIMAL ATHLETES.
Ants Enjoy Coed Rough and tumble
WreStie OccasiopaiIy.

The ant whose brain is larger COMPARE
lively speaking, than that of other known
creatures, spends it's leisure hours in Wrest-
ling running and other athletic sports.
Pierre Huber. son of Francis Huber, the
celebrated blind naturalist" tells the fol-
lowing remarkable story concerning sports
among ants
Il approached one day to the formicary
of some wood ants, exposed to the sun a al
she. cred from the north. The ants were
heaped upon one another in great numbers,
appearing to enjoy the temperature OF the
surface Of the nest
''NOne of them were at Work ana the I'M
mense multitude of insects presented the
appearance Of a liquid in a state OF eDuih-
ton, upon which the eye could scarcely be
fixed without great difficulty, but when L
examined the conduct of each ant l saw
that they were approaching each other,
each moving his antennae with astonishing
rapidity, each patting the cheek of one of
his fellows. After these prel11nlnafleS,
which very much resembled caressing they
were observed to raise themselves upright
on their hind legs by pairs, struggle to-
gether, seize each other by mandiDle, 1901
or antennae, and then immediately relax
their hold, only to renew the attack again
'They would fasten to each others shout
ders embrace and wrestle, overthrow each
other then raise themselves by TURKS, eacn
taking revenge without producing any Sefl-
Gus mischief. They did not squirt out thelr
nor retain theiv hold upon their opponents
with such ohstin2ncy L have seen Solle
pursue and vanQuish several in succession,
only struggling with each few seconds.
I'm one place two ants appeared 20 oe

alternately to avoid or seize each raao o otta
the snort and pastine of young dogs, when
they are observed to rise on their hind
legs, attempting to bite overthrow or seize
each other, without once closlns their
teeth , 70

ants, such as their running OF races carry

THE CHIEFS DAUGHTER.
Touching StOr. of Child Life Among
the Binc.,feet InGimns.

Why they call the tribe Blackfeet, 7 do
not know, for the color of the tribes feet,
like that Of their faces, is much like that of
the Sioux, the Snakes, the Crows and Pierce
Noses, Nez Perces by whom they
surrounded.
The Rlackfeet to be found near the
frontier of British America, and along the
northwestern line of Dakota and Montana.
The men are very Warlihe, and when not
fighting with the whites, this was many
years ago, they were sure to have y quarrel
with some of their equally fierce naighbors;
SO that there were always many widows
and orphans in the tribe.
twenty-five years ago Whirlwind
famous chief of the Blackfeet. He was
tall, slender man, with lowering black eyes,
and the 1.-the graceful movements of
tiger. Most Of the savage chiefs in those
days had a number of wives, but Whirl-
wind had only wife, her Indian name
being Seinl, or the light that never dies,
and of her the chief was SO fond that it
might be said he lived to maEa her happy,
were it not that he SO loved his only child.

about twelve years OF age.
The Blackfeet were at this time at peace

the savage Crows, and the Grows, I may
say, were very wild and quarrelsome
people.
Whirlwind received us kindly, though we
were short of provisions and few in num-
Der; and he set aside tepee or skin tent,
for our use, and Nolan, his pretty daughter,
delighted to watch the white men, and
one Of our number being sick, she brought
him punches of wild flowers every day,
with masses Of damp moss about their
stems to keep them fresh.
Now, l must tell you why I have dis
liked and must continue to dislike the
Crows. AS soon as sick comrade got
we'll we bade goodby to our Blackfeet
friends and went to the hills to look for
gold. We saw bands Of Crows, but though
they must have known that we had been
the guests of the Blackfeet, they did not
attempt to modest us, but they told us that
they were going to destroy Whirlwin1 and
all his war iorS.
War is always cruel, but the crue!est
part of the indian wars is that they regard
the women and children their foes quite as
much as they do the men, and they kill
