had plainly seen the great cat rs he
dashed into the cover. and there
could be no mistake that we had
the right tiger covered, for he
bore certain marks which, as well
as his unusual size, identified
him beyond question. We consulted
for few minutes as to the best method
of proceeding, and as Ilarbish and sew
eral natives advised setting fire to the
copsc, we made trial of that plan, all
hands standing with our weapons ready
for instant use, expecting the quarry to
bc driven from his lair by the flames
and smoke. But the foliage was too
green, and our fire quickly died away
without effccting our purpose, and all
the natives but one strongly urged us
to abandon the chase for the day, hop

spending few weeks Mt the little town
of Amherst, on the coast of the gulf OF
Marta ban, ut the mouth of the Salwan
river. n man-eating tiger had taken
up his abode in the vicinity of the vii
lage, and so bold and fatal had his
deprcdations become that n perfect
panic rcigned among the superstitious
natives, who declared that no nero
tiger could be SO cunning in escaping
all traps and so fiendish in his bloody
deeds, and that it was demon in tho
form of n tiger that was proving upon
them. My friend, Lieut.. Harbish. of
the Grenadicrs, joined me at the end of
my first week in the place, and, as he
was fully as enthusiastic a sportsman
as myself, we were not long in planning
a campaign for Kidding the village of
their terrible enemy. We first sent for
the head man of the village and direct
ed him to have proclamation made by
means of the town cricr that we pro-
posed to kill the man eater and would
pay double wages for few first-class
hunters to assist us. BY sunset VIC had
by dint of persuasion. extra wages and
the natural desire for vengeance among
those who had suffered in their own
families from the ravagcs of the beast
got together about q score of men
much above the average of burmese
hunters, and armed with everything
from Il dull hog spear to an antiuuated
army musllet.
The sun was less than an hour above
the horizon the next morning when we
passed beyond the boundaries of the
village and entered the narrow paths
which penetrated the dense Jungle
We divided our force into groups of two
or three individuals, giving orders to
spread our lines at first, and gradually
converge toward prominent hill, some
miles distant, near which the tiger was
supposed to have his lair. If the beast
was started the word was to be passed
along the line as quickly as possible,
and all were to close toward the indi-
Gated point with all speed We had
been slowly advancing for overan hour
and the heat was becoming uncomfort-
able as the sun rose higher, when far
away to the left we heard two or three
muskct shots, followed by loud shouts,
which quickly passed from group to
group along the scattered line, until we
knew that the tiger had been started
and brought to bay.
AS fast as the nature of the Jungle
would permit we made our way to the
| spot, guided by the inccssant clamor of
our men, which grew louder and louder
as the successive groups came in and
added their voices to the chorus. We
found our men gathered around patch
of dense thorny jungle, which occupied
the center of broad grassy opening in
the forest. This dense growth was
| probably an acre in extent, and so
closely were its thorny bamboos laced
and interlaced together by rattan vines,
and creepers of every sort, that it really
looked as if anything larger than Il
bird would have difficulty in making
its way through the matted mass. Here
and there were low tunncl-lillc paths,
formed by the game, and in one of
these the enormous tracks OF the tiger
could be plainly seen. freshly marked
in the moist earth. Several of our men

PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS.

Leaders Already the Gr6und-Tomor-
rows Convention at Harrisburg.
The advance guard of the Pennsylvania re-
publican convention has reached Harrisburg,
and includes Senator Showalter of Butler, who
says he will be nominated for Congressman at
large if the candidates be left to themselves:
Speaker G. c. Thompson and ex-senator Allen
OF Warren, Representative Keyser Of Philadel-
phia, John F. Finney and d. D. Phillips of
Schuylkill, C. C. Kaufman of Lancaster and
half dozen others. The crush Of delegates
and spectators is not expected before this
afternoon. Nobody anticipates any such ex-
element as characterized the meeting OF the
democratic factions last week.
Senator Showalter explained his early ap-
pearance OH the field by saying he was in the
eastern part OF the state and stopped in Harris
burg because he had not time to return to his
home in Butler county and get back in time
for the convention. He has been all over the
state during the last month and secured
pledges sufficient, he says, to give him place
on the ticket
Among the delegates already on the ground

Judge Dean Of Blair will be nominated for su-
preme judge. The friends Of Judges Sadler.
