SENATORS GAVE THEIR VIEWS.
"Some United States Senators be-
lieve that the quickest and best way
to accomplish annexation on terms
most favorable to Hawaii will be by
the reintroduction OF the treaty of
1893. But the conditions of that
treaty are not, however, such as |
could agree to today, because by it
we give away everything. think,
and our friends over there think,
that the terms of that treaty can be
changed after its introduction in
the Senate. You will remember that
nothing was ever done with it; it
was simply withdrawn from the
Senate in the early part OF the
Cleveland Administration, and may
be sent back and acted upon at any
time.
81 was assured in Washington that
if the treaty was presented to the
Senate it would not be made party
measure, but would pass by a two
thirds vote. The impression | gain
ed by my intercourse with the Seua-
tors was that the matter will be
brought up in the special session Of
Congress, to be called after the new
Administration goes in"
THINKS ANNEXATION NEAR
Replying to the question as to
whether he returned from Washing
ton impressed with the idea that
annexation would take place in the
near future, Minister Cooper replied
rather emphatically:
"Assuredly yesl 1t is now or
never, and everything points to that
among our friends over there. or
course, did not talk to men who
are recognized as the enemies to
Hawaii or to the annexation cause,
but there is real y not enough oppo-
sition to prevent it. From the stand
point OF the people OF the United
States, it is best that the islands
should be annexed, but many of the
citizens are OF the same opinion as
Senator Morgan--as Hawaiisns they
would prefer to be independent.
This being the case, so long as the
people here are anxious for annex
alton, it is my opinion that there
will be very little opposition to an
nexation on terms manifestly favor
able to us here"

Encounter with . wild Yak.

Adventures of all sorts enliven the pages
of S. J. Stones "In and Beyond the Hima-
layas." There is one lively encounter with
q wild yak bull that contains a spice of
humor as well as of adventure. Mr.. Stono
had wounded the animal, and he and his
native assistant, or shikari, ran to inter-
cept it as it bolted up the steep and stony
hillside.
II slackened my pace" says the author,
"but Paljour, not noticing this, went on
and got above me. He was thus between
the bull and myself. As the bull turned
the swell in the hillside he suddenly came
in sight of Paljour and, instantly chang
ing his course, charged furiously at the old
man straight down the hill
"Paljour retreated toward me, best pace,
shouting to me to fire. But at first could
not see the bull, and when he did come in
sight the shikari was directly in line with
him. / shouted to him tn get out of the
way, but he was too flustered to under
stand.
Fortunately above me al about ten
yards etf a small rock juttcd out of the
hillside, and Paljour screwed himself un-
der it into the smallest space. The in
furiated bull stood above the rock, only q
few feet from the man, evidently at loss.

at him. He lodged It, ran past 1t, turned,
doubled on it and lodged again. A half
dozen times this WITS repeated, the candle
still faring. It could not last long. The
bear was enraged. Its movements became
swifter. Its vicious teeth and lips were
covered with froth. which dripped to the
floor and sometimes spattered Ferrol' 8
clothes as he ran past.
"Ferrol suddenly remembered the bro
ken bayonet upon the ledge against the
wall. If he could reach it, there might be
a chance to strike one blow for life. As
his eye glanced toward the wall he saw
the steel flash in the light of the candle.
THE bear was between him and it. He
made q feint toward the left, then as
quickly to tho right. But, doing so, he
slipped and fell. The candle dropped to
the floor and went out. With lightning
like instinct of self preservation he swung
over upon his face just as the bear, in q
wild rush, passed over his head. He re-
membered afterward the odor of the hot,
rank body and the sprawling, hugo feet
and claws. Scrambling to his feet swiftly,
he ran to the wall. Fortune was with
him. His hand almost instantly clutched
the broken bayonet. He whipped out his
handkerchief, tore the scarf from his neck
andswound them around his hand that tho
broken bayonet should not tear the flesh
as he fought for his life. Then, seizing
it, he waited for the bear to come on, his
body bent forward, bis eyes straining into
the dark, his face dripping-dripping-
sweat, his breath coming hard end labored
from his throat.
"For minute there was absolute ST.
lence save for the breathing of the man
and the savage painting of the beast. Pres
emily he felt exactly where the bear was
and listened intently. He knew that it
was now but question of minutes. per-
haps seconds.
1.-Two things happened at that moment
the sound Of knocking on q door some
where and the roaring rush of the bear
upon him. He sprang to one side, striking
ut the beast as he did so. Tho bayonet
went in and out again. There came voices
from the outside. Evidently somebody was
trying to get in. The bear roared again
and came on. 1t was oil blind mans
game. Suddenly every particle of strength
had gone out of him. He shivered and
swayed. God! Would they never get that
window open? His heart seemed to give
leap, then slowly to roll over with q
thud, and he fell to the floor as the bear
lunged forward upon him.

FROM I'm AND AROUND THE HTMALAYAan
He could hear his enemy distinctly. for
Paljour was shouting continuously at the
top OF his voice for me to come and hide
under the rock beside him. 1t was clear
that both man and animal were uncon-
scious of each others proximity. One was
mad with rage, and the other was of his
head with funk.
"There was no time, however, to admire
the tableau, for the monster above mo was
bent on mischief. I put q 800 express
bullet into his chest, and down he came
straight for me. l backed few yards to
get out of his course and fell into q stonv
hole, cutting my legs very severely. The
hand of Providence again! In the hole I
was out of sight of the furious animal.
which thundered past about three yards of.
II had just time to twist myself into a
sitting position and deliver my second
barrel into his shoulder as he rushed by.
That finished him. He fell 90 yards below
me, srrawling on his belly, with legs
spread out, thus checking tho otherwise
inevitable roll down hill
"The scene, though it lasted oply a few
moments, has left an indelible impression
on my memory. Our respective positions
In this transaction were, should say,
unique. The blazing sun behind the bull,
as he stood over Paljour, setting of his
grand proportions, Paljour jammed under
the rock, bawling at the pitch of his voice,
and myself quivcring with excitement on
the stormy hillside! 1t seems laughing
matter now, but at the time We were all
three desperately in earnest''
