The Hawaiian Incident.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Charles Car
ter, one of the Hawaiian annexation
commissioners was seen at his hotel
yesterday by reporter. Speaking Of
the lowering Of the United States flag
by Mr.. Blount's order, Mr.. Carter said:
81 don't think II means reversal Of
the policy of the government, as ex-
pressed by the late administration.
Secretary Fosters attitude was satis-
factory TO the annexationists and he
promptly disavowed the protectorate.
The force Of marines was merely on
duty in response to the request Of the
provisional government to protect per
sons and property against assaults and
danger from the natives"

KINDS OF LEATHER.
Many Different Kinds of Animals
Contribute.


Very few people have any idea of the
number of different animals which con-
tribute their skins for the adornment of
pocket books, purses, etc., and make up
the large number of odds and ends which
people find so useful, says the Trunk and
Leather ReoielC. Monkeys, pigs, goats,
snakes, lizards, alligators, sheep, calves.
fish, seals, and even birds all contribute.
The great majority of these skins are
imported, as labor is so cheap abroad that
the manufacturers here find that, even
with the duty OF 20 per cent. on the fin
ished leather, ii is cheaper than import
ing the hides without duty and having
them tanned here.
The one thing OF Importance in leather
for fancy leather goods is the grain. which
influences the price to a very great eX-
tent. The number and variety of grains
are large, and the different feathers are
classified when received according to the
size of the grain under these several
headings fish, morocco, grosgrain, le-
want, turkey, monkey, pig and seal.
These grains are all different sizes, the
monkey being the largest, although the
pig and seal are very pronounced.
The fish grain is the smallest of all.
Besides these feathers, there are great
many limitations made-bufnng, which is
a split cowhide, and skiver, which is
split sheepskin.
But these can be easily told, as what is
called hand grain is the natural grain of
the skin, touched up by hand, whereas
the ordinary limitations are embossed by
machine.
Several other grades made by ma
chinery on skiver or buffing are called
boarded being made by a brass tool
which gives fine straight lines close to-
gether, the others showing wavy effects
~, L.. 4l-
grain.
The most expensive leather sells from
500 to S110 per dozen skins. This is the
genuine Russian leather, which has of
late temporarily lost popularity. 1t is in
grosgrain. Levant goatskin sells for $50
a dozen skins. Seal sells for $50 to $50 a
dozen, and pigskins are sold by the skin
at S6 30 or 81 each. Monkey skins are
cheaper, selling at So per skin; but these
latter are very hard to procure at any
price. They are made up by only one or
two manufacturers that we know of in
America into the very finest grade of
leather novelties of the imported skins.
With the exception of the seaIskins,
which are tanned in England, nearly all
these skins are tanned in Germany, al
though sheepskins are tanned in France.
A very ingenius imitation of Russian
leather has been made of caltskin, per-
fumed with oil of birch.
1t is a dangerous counterfeit, for the
reason that the color is exactly the same,
and the appearance and odor very much
so, often puzzling the untutored buyer.
Time, however, destroys the false odor
reveals the imitation.
+ The most important thing now, and the
latest, is to have the leather novelties
which women carry to match their dress
in color.
Fortunately, the houses which import
feathers TO this country used to send
samples of leather to Germany and else
where to match, so as TO strike the exact
color. Now. silk, cotton stuffs, plush,
ETC., are sent instead.
Lizard skins come largely from Borneo,
as well as Germany.

strengthen the weak points of the prose-
cution, and is just as sure to puncture
all the rhetorical bubbles Of the counsel
IN defense. One thing is beyond doubt
and that is, that no guilty man will ever
escape over here simply from eloquent
pleading, or because he has an advocate
who knows how to pull the wool over
the eyes OF the men in the jury-box
The Judge always attends TO little mat
ters OF this kind. In the fine art OF man
aging juries these dignified English
Judges have no equals. The Police
Court lawyer of the United States is by
comparison and from the standpoint of
results an utter novice in this art.
LONDON POLICE COURTS.
Speaking of police courts, there are
about dozen Of these in London. With
the exception of two, the Mansion-houSe
and Guildhall, these courts are presided
over by Stipendiaries. At Bow street the
magistrate gets $1,000 a year, but the
others have to exc out subsistence on
s., 800. All magistrates are appointed by
the Government and hold their office for
life. They are popularity spoken of as
''tbe great unpaid from the fact that,
excepting in large towns, they render
service gratuitously. Hitherto those ap-
pointed have invariably been men of
wealth, but at Liverpool few months
ago a wOrkingman was called to the
bench. The English magistrate is not
without his good parts, or even his tender
parts. To hear him lecture the wife
beater, the son who has lifted his hand
against mother and stepmother who is
trumping up some charge against the
children of a former wife merely to get
them taken off her hands-to hear such
things as these, as one can in the London
courts almost every day, is decidedly re-
freshlng. Once IN while magistrate
Will fine a man and pay the fine himself,
and we have known or a case IN which
London magistrate sent man to prison
for refusing to send his children TO school,
and then learning that the mans only
iault was poverty, and that he had kept
the little ones at home because he could
not clothe them decently, he set TO work
and collected a fund by which the man,
after his term had expired, was set up in
a new home, given new situation and
afforded altogether new start in life.
The way the railroads are dealt with in
the English courts is revelation TO the
visitor from America. AS between these
big corporations and some unfortunate
representative of the British public who
may be suing for damages the court gen
orally inclines toward the latter, and the
railways, in spite Of big counsel and loud
proteStations, have usually to plank
down their hard cash. Two cases of this
kind fell under notice the same day
recently. In one the train is taken be-
yond the platform, and woman in
alighting falls. No porter to help her
down, and the station officials rather in
different afterward. Damage against COM
pany, $3.50. In another case a woman
falls over box on the platform of sta
ton and is injured. There was an ex-
cursion and some crowding. But the
Judge held that either the box should not
l. Il /,
been moved to avoid it, Damages,
81, $50.
