Mr.. Harrison McCrary met with
what might have been a fatal acci>

When Mr.. McCrary discovered that
his arm was caught, he pulled back
with all his strength and thus saved
his life. His arm was carried through
the machine, and we are informed
that his thumb was the largest piece
that could be found afterwards. Mr..

WILL WORRY NO MORE,

The President and Members of His
 Cabinet will Throw Everything in
 tho Hawaiian Affair to Congress.
 WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.-Interest in the Hawaiian news csntered in the cabinet meeting held to-day and the importance st- taching gave rise to the hope that the anx. iety of congress and the people would be relieved by the issue of sn authoritative statement as to the conclusions reached. This hope was not gratified, for members of the cabinet were as reticent as usual as to what took place within the cabinst. An intimation of the nature of the dig cussion, if not the decision reached, was given by gentleman in authority, how ever, and this would indicate a policy of non-action in Hawaiian affairs on the part of the executive, while congress has the question before 1t. The meeting began ai Il o'clock and lated for three hours and . quarter. Every member was present, and the discussion Is understood to have been by the Warrimoo.
 Secretary Gresham read to his colleagues | the dispatches from Victoria. A discus
 sion made it apparent that any positive action on the news received could not properly be taken until tho receipt of the formal report of MT. Willis. It is indi
 cated by the authority refeeSsd to that the
 president and his advisers reafiirmed wha
 they have already demonstrated is the DO
 sition of the executive-the transfer of tn,

sCRAEFFER,s RECORD TIED.

Frank Ives Played . Magnificent
 Game Of Billiards, Defeating George
 Slosson With Base-he Made One
 Hun of Four Hundred and Eighty.
 Seven Points.
 CHICAGO, Jan. 9-Frank Ives tonight defeated George Slosson in the second game of the six day tournament at Central Music hall, the young man making the splendid run of 4s7 on the anchor nurse. Both played first class billiards from start to finish. Ives won the lead, but accom- plished nothing, and Slosson went only one better. In the second inning Ives gathered the balls we'll in hand, but misjudged draw shot, giving place to Slosson. The latter played with less stiffness than last night and went out with 72 to his credit, miss.ng kiss shot. The young Napoleon then counted as far as 78 on miscellaneous billiards, falling short on an easy draw. Slosson scored only in the same inning. Ives in the fourth made %.
 An exhibition of anchor nurse was given by Ives in the sixth inning. After the play had become monotonous some spscts- tors left the house. Slosson sat down, folded his arms and smiled philosophioally as Ives rolled up the hundreds.
 "The anchor must go" he said. "The only game ia cushion oarom, and the peo- pie must get educated to the game" At 3l Ives had the balls perfectly anchored and scored 101 without moving them . fraction of an inch. At 182 the balls fross on him and he was compelled to masse, breaking the anchor. Another freeze con- fronted him after two shots and he broke the balls still more on c masee to e1tricste himself At the 144th shot he had put the red and white in the invisible pocket made by wabbling the balls against the cushion.
 When perfect anchor was assured Slos- son started 6 laugh by making play to en- case his cue. The monotony was broken at 428, after Ives had eoored 2s4 consecu- tive shots at anchor. The balls frozs, and at 430 he got on the wrong side of the balls. They broke badly, and that was the end of the anchor.
 The spectators from that time on to the end of the game were treated to some splendid billiards all over the table. A long draw with the left hand In the center of the table was the feature. In running out the game in six innings Ives tied Schseffer's record.
