The fight was practically ended at
9 o'clock. Another illustration Of the
insurgents policy Of evading meeting
the Americans in force was furnished
by the fact that when our lines swept

only occasionally that glimpses Of the

Thrilling Story From Hawaii b

London Mail.
A r Watson has just had one of the
most thrilling experiences that ever he
fell a mountaineer. He assembled the
Ma11na Ioa volcano, in the Hawaiian
islands, while it was In a state of furious
eruption The party numbered five, with
guides pack mules and q week supply
of provisions. By evening Of the first day
about q third Of the hazardous climb had
been achieved and the men camped in a
grove of palms and ferns.
AT noon on the succeeding day all the
members of the party, with the exception
of Mr.. Watson, concluded to examine the
north cone of the crater, while Mr. Wat
son, filled with the idea that the south
ern cone was the most interesting, sepa-
rating from his companions and guides and
moved in that direction After a weary
and dangerous climb he arrived at a pro-
mOntOry Of rock and earth. Close upon
the far side of this point a great river
of lava was founding in Il straight line
down the mountain, while about 500 feet
above on the slope of the hill, the crater.
like the mouth of some internal monster,
was pouring forth melted stone.
Mr.. Watson sat for considerable time.
probably a couple of hours, gazing upon
the vast estuary of rolling, flowing, burst
ing fire rushing down the side Of the
mountain, Some thousand or more feet
below this stream entered a thicket of
trees which, Mr.. Watson observed
through his glasses, seemed to have won
derful power of resisting the attack of
the flames.
Toward night he arose from his seat
below the rocks to go over the summit,

He thought that his eyes had been rest
ing too long on running lava and that he
could see such a stream in whichever
quarter ne might look; so he went for

But he had not been mistaken While
he had been sitting with his back to the
direction from which he had come and in
which he must go with his eyes on the
flowing stream, enchanted with its mar

find holes in the fences where some en-
terprising individual has distracted sec
tions of snow fence for his own needs.
The work of putting up the snow fences
began some weeks ago, and an instance
of human depravity, which has made the
services of the company detectives neces-
sary, has already come to light.
Less than a week ago it was reported
at division headquarters that a consider
able amount of fence had been taken
from the right of way between Medora
and Belfield, in the western part of North
Dakota, on the main line. A detective
was put at work to trace the lumber, and
finally succeeded in locating 1t on a ranch
about ten miles south of the line. A small
granary for the storage of oats was
found, which had almost entirely been
built of snow fence lumber, and the
ranchman had built an eight-board fence
around a cattle shed, portions of which
We're easily recognizable. The company
prosecuted. though the result of the case
has not been announced. Snow fences are
so constructed in sections that man
with hay rack could easily remove
considerable amount with little trouble.

Objection to the Order Is Said to

Pacific Having Trouble With
Snow Fence Thieves - Protection
Against Snow Drifts Are BeinG
Removed by Some Individuals.
The order for a hearing issued by the
railroad and warehouse commission to
consider the neglect of many of the coun-
try elevators of the state to make re-
turns on warehouse storage receipts pro-
ViGed by the grain department, according
TO law, has provoked considerable nega-
tiation. The commission was in confer
erce with a representative of the elevator
interests yesterday and reviewed the mat
ter again. The country elevators are not
disposed to submit to the ruling.
The objection to the order of the COM
mission is based mainly upon technical
hy rather than upon any claim that it
will work an injustice. Many of the
Fountry elevators are controlled by the
large firms having headquarters in the
great grain markets, and their managers
hold that it is unwise to comply with the
order regarding returns, for the reason
that it will become a precedent which the
department viii make use of in the flu
ture- They are unwilling to comply for
fear that their action may become the
commissions club wherewith to force
other demands of greater Importance.

Il. q o. RUMOR.
Presence of Mr.. Bacon in Baltimore
Gives Them Currency.

BALTIMORE, Dee. Is. - Edward R.
Bacon president of the Baltimore & Ohio
Southwestern Railway company, and a
member Of the board of directors of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railway company was
in Baltimore today. Mr.. Bacon was clos
eted with President COwen ana Chairman
of the Board Solomon the great part of
the day. It was given out in Mr.. Cow
ems Office that the conference was with
out significance, being devoted eXclu-
sIvely TO examining the annual report as
far as it has been made up.
The annual meeting Of the stockholders,
which was to have been held today, has
again been postponed, this time until JAN
II The only reason given for postponing
the meeting is that certain matters are
not T sdy for presentation to the stock
holders. 1t was said that they will Ger
tainly not be ready for presentation in
January, and in that event the meeting
Will be postponed again.
The presence of Mr.. Bacon in Baltimore
gave rise to many rUmors, one Of which
was that they considered the organiza-
ton Of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwest
ern as part of the Baltimore & Ohio sys-
tenn That was the intention when the
properties were reorganized, but for some
reason interests in control OF the BATH
more & Ohio opposed the plan,
and as the Baltimore & Ohio. which
exchanged its OWN securities for those OF
the Baltimore s. Ohio Southwestern, did
not push the matter 1t WAS not consum-
mated 1t was generally believed, how
ever. that it was only a question OF time
when the jurisdiction of the Baltimore &
Ohio officials will be extended over the
Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern, which
will then be known as the Southwestern
division of the Baltimore & Ohio.
Another report was that the conference
was for the purpose of arranging for the
representation Of the Pennsylvania rail-
road on the board of the Baltimore d.
Ohio. Neither rumor was confirmed.
In an interview tonight Mr.. Salamon
admitted that there was some basis In
the reports recently printed out of an
understanding between the trunk lines
Including the Baltimore & Ohio. Mr..
SalamOn said:
Something has been done which will
be of great benefit to the Baltimore &
O~io, but it may be two or three months
before any announcement is made
