SOVEREIGNTY OF INDIA,”

The following is the text of a resolution relating to the Indepen- dence of India introduced in the Senates of America recently by Senator John J. Blaine, Wis- counsin...

"Whereas the people of India are spontaneously moving towards the adoption of self-Government under a constitutional form with popular approval and seeking na- tional independence, therefore, be it resolved that the Senate of the United States mindful of the strug- gle for independence that gave birth to our Republic, participates with the people of the United States in the deep interest that they feel for the success of the poo ple of India in their struggle to establish their liberty and inde pendence and he it further resol ved that the Senate of the United States pledges its constitutional support to the, President of the United States whenever be may deem it proper to recognise the sovereignty and independence of India and recommends early re- ecgnition thereof,"

·Student Resolutions.

At a public meeting of the I- dian and American students and citizens held at Detroit, Michigan presided over by Miss Elizabeth Chapin, the following resolutions were passed by a unanimous vote! If any man, found the road to

Forty-one Chinese were arrested and charged at the Redfern Pulito Station with having been found in

Elaborate ar- rangements had been made for the comfort of the players, and around the wall were fitted couches, with

the shaded lamps, for

opium smokers.

So quickly had the raid been carried out, that "the occupants of the second house, which was only a short distance away, had not been disturbed. The police alleged that they found fan-tan being played and opium being smoked in this hut also. Two police vans were re- quired to take the arrested Chinese to the Redfern station. The opium pipes, packages of opium, fan-tan equipment, and a number of pakapu tickets were taken to the police station for evidence.

RED INDIAN GIRL'S SAVAGE LOVE.

WIFE'S BRUTAL MURDER.

A Red Indian squaw's alleged fiercely primitive adoration for Mr. Henri Marchand, a famous artist and the curator of the Muscum

of Science at Buffalo, New York,

is reported to be responsible for

the brutal murder of Mrs. Mar- chand last month at her Buffalo re- sidence.

She was found by her twelve-year- old son beaten and choked to death, with a chloroform-soaked rag in her mouth.

The police arrested two full-blood- ed Indian squaws of the Seneca tribe, Miss Lillian Jimerson, aged thirty-fire, whom Marchand had used as model for some of his art work, and Mrs. Bowen, aged sixty-six. Miss Jimerson was ar rested in a house in the Silver Creck, district of the Towanda. Indian Reservation, near Buffalo, which is well known to English visitors to Nigara Falls.

She accused Mrs. Bowen of com- mitting the murder, and led the police to her in a hiding place beneath the stairs. Mrs. Bowen is believed to be partly insane,

The police had learned from friends of Mr. Marchand that a squaw had fallen in love with him while he was recently living among the Indians, studying their habits for his art work. He is shown to have rebuffed her, and was never aware of the depth of her infatus- tion for him.
