larger than the others and moved at a
much swifter pace, and each OF these
larger ants, NJ Meissen saw, always car
ried one Of the gray ants on its back This
discovery led him to watch their move
ments closely. He soon saw that while
the main body Of gray ants was always

one of their own sort mounted ON one of
these larger ants. He mounted and de-

the part Of himself and others. when it was

had criticised.
Mr.. Spooner suggested that all these SEN

Mr.. Spooner also said the minority had
supported bills for the army knowing that
the army was to be used in the Philippines
and for the very purpose for which the
army was now being used, although they
now advocated the withdrawal of troops.
The allegations that Aguinaldo had been
promised independence had been denied by
those who were said to have made them.

REMOVING ICE FROM RIVER.
Fleet of Six Boats Begins the Work
TODAY.

The work Of breaking the ice on the river
was commenced today. A fleet Of six boats,
under the command of Harbormaster Sut-
ton. left the foot Of 7th street this morning
and started down the river, intending to go
as far as Indian Head. The harbormaster
expects the boats to return late this after
noon.
The only mishap reported was the acci-
dental drowning Of William Washington,
noted elsewhere In The Star. Tomorrow
the fleet will probably move up the river,
going a short distance above the Aque-
duct bridge. The ice along the shores is
from six to ten inches in thickness. The
harbormasteriho hopes; to clear the river in
time to prevent a freshet.
