An Eagle Attacks a Man.

The only golden eagle ever seen at
Toledo, O., is captive at the residence
of Joseph Maynes, that city.
Monday morning Mr.. Maynes and
Peter Darquin went fishing in the
marshes along ottowa river. Maynes
got after a monster frog in the edge of
the marsh, along bluff which is dense
ly wooded. He was about to get his
frog when monstrous eagle swooped
down upon him. 1t seized him between
the shoulder blades, its talons pierre
ing through his overcoat, an undercoat,
and cutting into the flesh. The bird
beat its wings and lifted Maynes from
his feet. Maynes weighs Isl pounds,
and is % years old. He says he was
terribly frightened, and more so when
the bird lifted him from his feet sec
ond time.
While attempting the third time to
get Maynes into the air he struck the
eagle on the head with his frog spear.
He then got one arm around the birds
neck and pounded it on the head with
his club.
He got the bird to the bank and lay
across it while Barquin kicked it iuto
insensibility. A rope was then proclr-
ed and the bird was tied to q tree. Tue
eagle had been brought to the city, aad
was seen that afternoon by newspap .r
men.
1t measures seven feet six inches
across the wings, weighs thirty-five
pounds, and stands three feet two iu-
ches high. 1t is evidently young, there
being many pin feathers around the
neck and on the breast.
Old citizens who have lived in the
West say that the bird is young
mountain eagle of the golden variety.
The plumage is of dark russet color,
almost seal brown. The eagle has o
monstrous head, with beak four and
a half inches long.
It's mouth, when stretched wide open,
is FIVE inches across. 1t swallowed fif-
teen sparrows for supper, taking each
one down whole.

TEXT OF The HAWAIIAN TREATY
The Heading of the Document was Greet
ed with Unanimous Approval by
the Members.
Associated Press.

Washington, Feb 15.-The president
sent a message to the senate this after
noon recommending the annexation Of
the Hawaiian islands to the United
States. It was accompanied by treaty
OF annexation concluded between the
secretary of state and the Hawaiian COM
missioners and a mass Of correspondence
relating to the question at issue. The
treaty is brief, providing merely for the
annexation Of the Islands, under the
present provisional government and
leaving the details o q permanent form
Of government. ETC.. to the action OF con-
gress The correspondence Is very volum-
nous going back many years and gives
complete history of the Islands, 80 far
as negotiations with the United States
is concerned. Contrary to general expect
alton, the senate in executive session de-
cined to make the treaty public immedi-
ately, but the probability Is that the
seal Of secresy will be released tomorrow.
The message and treaty were received
with almost general approval.
