And Ono; at Least, Did Not Greatly Fancy
..:. the Partnership.
One night recently G. w. Sellman had a
rather novel and dangerous experience. Mr..
SeIlman went out in the hills west of his
home to a place called Cave Springs and.
being detained till late, concluded to remain
over night. Accordingly he spread his
blankets upon the ground and laid down to
pleasant slumbers. During the night, which
was rather cool. rattlesnake crawled up to
his bed and, finding the covers rather warm,
crawled in between them and the ground
and in his cosy bed proceeded to pass the
night also. The next morning when Mr..
Sellman arose and rolled up his blankets he
found the rattler lying there dead. He had
rolled over on the snake in the night and
killed it. 70 say that he was alarmed when
he thought of the danger he had passed
through would be putting 1t mildly. He can
surely boast an experience through which
but few men have passed, but 1t is safe to
say that he would not go through it again
for the mere pleasure of boaSting of it, Mr..
Sellman has the cengratulaton of his friends
for having passed safely through such ex-

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The news of an
outbreak among the Chilcat Indians In
Alaska has been received in this city from
Sltka. According 10 the advices, the United
States gunboat Pinta was summoned by the
citizens of Chilcat and remained there three
days settling the difficulty. On the return
of the Pinta to Sitka the officers were re-
ttcent. and it was impossible to obtain from
them or through any other source any news
of the trouble, excepting that it was through
reduction in the wages paid the Indians
engaged In salmon fishing. AS the Indians
had gone TO great trouble and some expense
in curing the catch, they felt the owners of
the canneries were trying to impose on them.
They refused to dispose of their catch at the
price offered, anu when the eanneres held
out and announced that they would close up
rather than pay the price demanded, or any
other price above five cents fish, the ln-
dians became angry and prepared to break
out against the town. 1t is understood at
Sitka the matter would be settled without
bloodshed, but at this writing advices are
that the Pinta was preparing for second
visit to the place.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-Hon. l.. 5. Thurston
of Honolulu, who is in this city, said to a
reporter tonight that the Mckinley bill has
had the effect of uniting the native and for
eign population Of Hawaii upon the subject
of annexation. He has just received one Of
the native newspapers, which advocates the
formation of a republic or Immediate an
neXation to the United States. This fact
is remarkable, as 1t is the first time In
Hawaiian history that the natives have
publicly favored such a thing While 1t is
true that they are weary of monarchy, yet
nothing but the blow at Hawaii's sugar in
dustry could have brought them to favor
annexation. The hope of the planters there
is that the President will next year exercise
the power given him to place duty again
upon beet sugar from such countries as have
not Teciprocated with the necessary free
entries. 1h is would relieve the burden.
But at any rate the Hawaiians are prepar-
ing TO negotiate with the United States for
free trade. Thurston says now that the

income, it is intended to bring the islands
