Major Burke Safe.

NEW ORLEANS, March 2l.-There is no
truth in a report circulated here to the
effect that the Honduran government Will
surrender Maj. f. a. Burke late defaulting
state Treasurer. II may be stated that the
Louisiana authorities have no information
on the subject, and that there is no founda-
ton for the story other than the knowledge
that Major Burke has been represented as
taking an active part In defense or the gov
eminent and as the revoutionists were
successful recently the conclusion has been
jumped at that the new existing govern
ment would be quite willing TO punish
Burke for any service he may have rem
dered the former government by surrender
ing him TO the State authorities OF Lousi-
ana. No recent effort has been made to
secure Iurle'S extraditiOn.

Fashions of the Ainns.

A description of the clothing worn
In cold weather by the hairy Anus, those
strange little inhabitants of farther ST.
IBERIA and part Of Japan, is as follows:
The only material of which they ever
have complete suit is fshskin. Such a
suit is sometimes deliberately though
ooarsely embroidered. The resemblance
between this embroidery and that of the
North American Indians is remarkable.
How the tishskin is prepared is still a
puzzle to me. Though pretty thin, it is
very tough and has more pliability than
might be thought possible. Shoes even
are made with it, but not exclusively Of
it. Il generally folm the lining Of the
uppers.
The thicker clothing is grotesqueness
itself. Formedinm garments. especially
for the covering of the back and chest,
birch bark is used, other materials being
stitched to it. For the coolest weather
the clothing is much like that of the
Eskimos and the kamchatdales. The
grotesqueness of it arises not SO much
from its shape as from the variety of the
materials.
I In one of these Josephs coat dresses
were mixed patches of sable, bear, deer
and foxskins, including the tails, in hap
hazard fragments, while behind and be-
fore there was underneath all these a
large piece of birch bark. The bark,
afterward found, was intended inciden-
tally az protection against accidental
shots from poisoned arrows which the
Anus use more in winter than in sum
mer in their hunting excursions.
