A WHITE TARANTULA.

Beach IN Texas.

the Philadelphia Times, we were ter.

We had often seen black tarantulas
in Arkansas. but white one, with
'eyes on stills, as little Joe put il,
was somewhat out of our calcula-
lions, but as this was Texas we con.
cluded 1t was species peculiar to
the state and determined to begin a
war OF determination OF the vermin.
Each, picking up a st ok, gave
chase. Round and round. up aud
down, we dashed, but the new speci-
men to us of "bugology" had such
marvellous powers of locOmotion that
we made no healway. 1t ran side
ways, backwards and frontwards
with a celebrity that babe us defiance,
for II 1t came toward US with a blood
curdling yell we gave him a fair
field. Having often heard of the
jumping proclivities of the tarantuls.
we did not know what moment this
vicious-looking specimen with the
adjustable eyes might make a flying
leap and land on one OF US. During
one of his last attacks, which sent us
Skurrying off to respectable dis
lance, our adversary gained enough
time to reach the house, and under it
went. The house stood about two
feet up from the ground on piles, so
under we went just in time to see
the thing disappear down a good
sized hole in the ground. Our sur
prise was increased to find a great
number of other holes around. and
we were sure We were right in the
very den OF horde Of the miserable
insects.
1t my childhoo1's days | had often
participated in the exciting pastime
of drowning out gophers." so was
not long in deciding to drown this
new kind out and away went Joe for
a bucket, while the others did senti.

Soon we were pouring streams Of
water into the hole and deluging the
occupant, but the thing seemed to
enjoy it After several fruitless eff
forts we changed our tactics and gave
him a hot bath with better results.
As the steaming fluid rolled down
into his subterranean home he de.
clded 1T was cooler above, and came
cautiously up just in time to get
blow from a cudgel and a boiling
bath from another antagonist. while
the third impaled him on mis- shilla-

we bolted into the room where the

to be a white tarantula, for must

ment must see good reason to push forward
the completion Of the defenses of San Fran
cisco harb0r No harbor in the world, il
may be said, is so strongly fortified by nature,
and the resources Of the artilerist are such
that once the batteries on each side OF the
Golden Gate, and on AlcatraZ aud Angel
islands, are mounted with modern rifled
guns or heavy caliber, not the strongest
fleet that any nation possesses could force
a passage within the bay. The concen-
trated fire of scores of big guns would sink
the most heavily armored vessels yet con-
structed, because science now enables shore
batteries to get the exact range and position
Of ships in movement. But in addition to

edge that waters are mined strikes terror

WILL ENGLAND INTERFERE

It may be well to read the dispatches re-
gardlng Engand's interference in the
Hawaiian imbrOglio with caution. 1t will
be noticed that they all purport to reflect
current rumor, and that none OF them even
claim to be based on authority. Core
sDondents, eager to keep their papers posted
on the news OF the day, telegraph the talk
Of the street on the chance that ii may be
confirmed by the event
Ii it should prove true that Sir Julian
PauncefOte has protested against the land
ing Of the marines Of the Boston at Homo
lulu, controversy which may become
acrimonious has begun with a step which is
entirely uncslled for. Whenever a dis
turbance which may lead to bloodshed &C.
ours al a seaport where the ordinary police
force is too weak TO cope with a mob, it is
the regular thing for the captain Of any
man-0f-war which may happen to be In port
10 land his marines with directions TO report
10 the Consul If his nation for the prOtec-
lion Of defenseless persons of his nationality.
If the captain Of the Boston had not landed
his men, he would have proved himself I'M
1T to command a ship, and il a single
American had lost his life, he would have
been courj-martaled. This rule, which is
common to the service of all maritime ma
tons, must be perfectly well known to Sir
Julian Pauncef0te aud 10 the Foreign Office
in Downing street. Therefore, it will
probably turn out that Sir Julian has hled
and will file no such protest as the dis
patches accuse him OF fling.
If the views with which the reporters
credit the British Consul at this port are
really entertained by that gentleman he is
hardly we'll informed regarding affairs in
Hawaii. The coup d'etat which overthrow
the Queen was not tie work Of Americans
only; the English residents were full part
ners IN the enterprise. Indeed, everybody
knows that at Honolulu foreigners act to-
gether. There are two parties-the Kan
akas on the one side, with whom the Japa-
nese and Chinese sometimes act; the whites
Of all natiOnalitIes on the other. In the
recent Hawaiian administrations the Eng
lish colony has been represented, as well as
the Americans. Mr. DOnohOe Will find no
difficulty in ascertaining that his country
men are to the full as responsible for the
late revolution as the American resident Is
of the islands.
When the Consul says that if the change
of government was effected with the consent
of the Hawaiian people England will not
interfere he implies that under other cir
cumstanees she would interfere. and herein
Mr. D1nohoe, who is faithful to the Eng
lish diplomatic traditions. makes mistake.

American diplomacy. even in its swad-
ding clothes. in 1913, refused to conclude
tripartite treaty with England and France,
guaranteeing the independence OF the
Hawaiian Islands. We would sign no such
treaty for the simple reason that England
and France had nothing to do with an
island group lying off the coast Of the
limited States, and we have everything TO
do with it. Ii the American Minister to
London should lodge protest in Downing
street against the provisions Of the Irish
home-rule bill he would be supposed TO be
out of his mind; yet his action would not
be more impairment than a British protest
against decision by our Government on
the request of the foreign merchants OF the
Islands.
The public may rest perfectly assured
that whatever conclusions the aGministra-
ton at Washington may reach on the
Hawaiian question they Will be reached
from a study of the subject from the Amerl-
can standpoint, ami from no other. ii Mr..
Harrison should see fit to recommend the
annexation Of the islands. and Congress
should give effect to the recommendation by
authorizing the landing Of an American
armed force the permission OfnO European
power would b. asked. Nor is there much
chance that England or any other power
would try TO throw obstacles IN the way.
In modern times nations, if they are well
advised, attempt things which they can do,
not things which they cannot do. a British
protest against Hawaiian annexation would
be the very thing TO make the American
people insist upon it. II would make the
transfer Of the islands to the American flag

granted that no serious opposition to the
course resolved upon at Washington viii be
