Austin boasts a cat which is a snake
hunter. The fiower-studded prairies west
of 4sth street, the old city boundary line,
are overrun by green reptiles and others
that are not SO green. Not one of them is
venomous, however. Every day Tabby
leaves her home in Yves; SD street and
boldly invades the tall grass where Turk
and wriggle the harmless. but neverthe-
less repulsive, serpent. Here she prowls
for hours at time until she finds one OF
the crawlers. Then she pounces upon 1t,
seizes 1t firmly In the middle and trots
back to the house, the snake meanwhile
enciroling her neck like green and ami
mated collar. Once upon her own territory,
the cat shakes herself loose from her
strange enemy and begins to toss and bite
the disconnected reptile until life has left
Its long body.
-Four and five times day the cat goes
on the hunt, and seldom does she return
without her prey firmly clinched in her
mouth. Strangely, too. Tabby, the snake
chaser, Is not mouser. Rats may play
hide and seek about her, but she pays no
attention to them. She Is essentially q
snake destroyer, and did she not deliver
the uncanny game upon the porch and the
kitchen stairs she would be hailed with &C.
claim by all the women and childrsu q the
neighborhood. As 1t Is. however Gke causes
innumerable spasms OF fright Whenever she
bounds out OF the Jungle OF grass and
weeds.

MIR. MALLORY SPEAKS.
Debate Continues the Hawaiian
Annexation Resolutions.

The Senate continued In session last even
ing until $50 o'clock. After The Stars re-
port on the Senate proceedings was closed
Mr.. Pettus continued his speech in favor
of the Hawaiian resolutions.
One of the objections urged against Ha-
waiian annexation, he said, was that the
acquisition of that territory you'd compel
the United States to construct and MAIN
tain at enormous expense a powerful navy
and perhaps maintain large standing
army.
1T may lead the United States to build
a great navy" said he. II hope to God it
will 1 will welcome the day when our navy
will be SO powerful that no nation of the
world will ever dare to offer us an insult"
When Mr.. Pettus had concluded Mr.. Ma
son Gid gave notice that if there was no
agreement to vote -on the pending resolu-
ton Eor a move made to change the rules
he would not stay in the Senate to keep up
the useless farce of the majority governed
by the minority.
The conference reports on the bill to in
crease the efficiency of the quartermaster's
department and to increase the efficiency
of the subsistence department were agreed
to.
In beginning legal argument against
Hawaiian annexation Mr.. Mallory (F'la.)
said the question involved a new departure
in governmental policy-an increase in our
army and navy and the establishment of a
system of government In a colony of the
United States which never heretofore had
existed. He maintained that the resolutions
presented were fundamentally wrong and
ought not to be adopted.
Mr.. Hawley presented the conference
agreement on the bill providing for the
punishment of persons who trespass upon
or destroy harbor defense works and for
tifications of the United States.
The report aroused considerable debate
upon its technical legal aspects, after the
conclusion of which the report was agreed
to.
At sos pm. Mr. Mallory concluded his
speech On motion of Mr.. Davis (Minn.),
the Senate then went into executive ses-
sion.
AT $50 pm. the Senate adjourned.
