A number OF our readers have
asked us to-day if it "really was true
that Hatch had refused Mrs. Wode-
house an interview with the ex-
Queen" The question contains an
insinuation which-although utterly
unoalled for because The lNDEpEND-
ENT only states facts--is excusable.
II is hard to believe that the three
Christian members OF the Cabinet
should have endorsed the action OF
the Minister of Foreign Affairs. And
yet yesterday the offense was repeat
ed. Major Wodehouse who, for
aearly thirty years, has represented
Great Britain in Hawaii, sought per-
mission through III. B. Ms Com
missioner to say farewell to the
royal lady, with whom he has been
on the friendliest terms during his
long stay in these islands. The
Minister Of Foreign Affairs refused
the request of Commissioner Hawes.
When these facts are laid before the
English Government and published
in tho press of all countries, the
world at large will realize under
what condition the people OF Ha-
waii and the foreigners residing here
exist. If Mr.. Hatch and his three
colleagues expect to be handled
with gloves by foreign governments
they must be OF most sanguine
temperament.

ANTIDoTE FOR SNAKE BITE.
Prof. Frassr's Experiments With
Dangerous Reptiles.

Il =
given to the Royal Society there the
results of his experiments on snake
poison. After years of labor he has
discovered genuine antidote, which
he calls antivenine. He has been col
Letting snake-poison from India, AT
RIGA, America and Australia; but il
was only in the end of last year that he
accumulated enough to begin his
systematic experiments on the lower
animals, He has 1t in dried and
powdered form in carefully sealed lit
tie bottles. 1t is peculiar looking
stuff, something like brown sugar, but
not so sticky.
The first discovery from his careful
experiments was that there is great
'stoleration" for snake-poison. Hav-
ing asceriained the minimum dose
required to cause the death of an ami
NAL, by starting below that amount
and gradually increasing his dose !,
leaving all interval of ten days or a
fortnight between each successive one,
he got up AS high as fifty times the
amount of minimum lethal dose with
out causing any bad effects to the ami
NAL. In fact, its general health
seemed to improve, as he had the ami
NAL weighed once and sometimes
twice every day; aud all the time he
was administering the venom there
was steady increase in weight. In
the meantime, he has now carried il
further than fifty times the minimum
ethal dose; but still when he has
reached that point the animal was re-
ceiying single dose, without being
affected, enough to kill fifty animals
of the same size and weight,
AT present Prot. Fraser is imnuniz'
ing horse. but he has not got suf.
ticient venom for him, and he expects
to have it soon. When the horse has
been immunized he expects to secure
enough antivenine from il to allow Of
its being tested chemically, so as tc
find out the substances that antsgonizt
the venom. When he discovers these
he cen prepare the antivenine chemic'
ally and send the antidote to India il
small bottles. This discovery will b.
of very great practical importance t.
India, because fully 10000 of the pop
ulation are annually killed by snake
bite.
The Government has been trying t
reduce this mortality by offering re
ward for snakes heads; but it seem
to have no effect in the way of reduC
: ing their numbers, for the native
breed the snakes in order to secure tn
reward. There would be quite sui
fcient time to administer the antivC
nine, as death does not ensue unit
from three to twenty-four hours afte
bite. Prof. Fraser has made rc
, markable discovery, as one of tn
successful results of a quarter of
century's careful laboratory work.

LEATHER VERY SCARCE.
Curious Facts Disclosed by an At
tempt to Supply the French
Army With Shoes

Leather is scanty and high of price
lust own in France that the Minister
OF War is greatly perplexed over the
the question of how to secure the nee
essary footwear for the great number
of men which that nation keeps con-
tinually in readiness for its defense
Not only this, but sufficient supply
of leather for the saddles, harness and
other furnishings of the cavalry and
artillery is lacking
When the Government invited bids
recently for the equipment of the
troops with shoes and horse furniture,
the only contractors who dared TO
make din offer demanded so high fig
ure that their propositions were reject
ed, and those who have yet contracts
to fill for these articles are seeking
every means possible TO break them,
fearing that ruin will be the result if
they are compelled to carry out ar
engagements.
Hides have doubled in price since
the beginning of the present year.
This unusual state of affairs in the
leather trade was thought at first to
be the result of corner in the market
but il has since become evident that
the remarkable scarcity in that COM
modify is produced by variety of
simple and natural causes.
Three of the principal reasons for
the dearth of leather are: The recent
war between China and Japan; the
many revolutions and conflicts in the
South American republics, and the
scarcity of fodder aud pasturage ow.
ing to the untavorsble weather of last
year and the year before in the coun
tries of the world from which the
principal shipments of hides comes
AS can readily be conceived, the
poverty of pasturage is potent factor
in the decrease of the supply of cattle
and of hides. The number of cattle
this year which will furnish skin fol
the tanneries of the world has no
reached anywhere near that of former
years. Though the grazing lands are
recovering from the effects of the Ions
and serious droughts, which with thu
consequent fires, have killed much o
the grass, it will be another twelv
months even under the most fayora
BILE conditions before they can suppl
cattle in sufficient numbers to eve
partly meet the demand This dis
proportion between the demand an
the supply is being felt not only i
France but also in every other manu-
featuring country which depends NJ
f on the prsiries aud pampas of tn
Western hemisphere for the supply
leather.

THE BLYTHE BLOCK.
Exterior Elevation of the New Build
ing Submitted to Eastern Capt.
talists for Approval.

W. II. II. Hart, attorney for Florence
Blythe Hinckley, has forwarded to the per-
sons in the East who are to advance the
necessary funds an exterior elevation of
the new building to be known as the
Blythe block. So far there is nothing
very definite determined in regard to the
structure. General Hart stated. yesterday
that it would cover the entire property
owned by the Blythe estate in the block
bounded by Geary, Kearny, Market and
O'Farrell streets and Grant avenue. OF
this block oil but three pieces belong to
the estate. One of these, occupied by the
City of Paris block is leased by the estate.
OF the other two one is at the Junction of
Kearny and Market and the other fronts
about % feet on Geary near the small al
ley known as Brooks street.
General Hart was very reticent concern
ing the characteristics of the proposed
building, saying it would depend largely
upon the suggestions offered by the parties
who are to forward the money necessary
for the enterprise. 1t has not yet been
definitely settled how high the building
will be, as the ordinance in regard to the
heights of buildings constricts their option
in the matter. General Hart does not an
ticipate receiving a definite answer from
the Eastern financiers until about Feb
ruary l, when the plans will be determined
upon and made public.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN KELLY,
The Well.Known Whaler Had
an Adventurous and Elk.
citing Career.
His $4,000 Claim for Illegal Seizure
by the Mohican Is Now
Pending.

News reached this City yesterday of the
death of one of the best known whalers in
the United States. Captain Edmund E.
Kelly died at his home in Binghamton of
paralysis, aged 50 years. The last time he
was in San Francisco was when he brought
the whaling schooner Jane Gray in from
the Arctic after very exciting cruise.
She was chased and seized by the United
States steamer Mohican and on that occa-
sion Captain Johnson of the warship be-
haved in such an unotficerlike manner
that when a complaint was made to Wash
ington he was dismissed from the service.
On another occas ion Captain Kelly's craft
was chased by the gunboat Yorktown, but
as nothing contraband was found on board
he was released.
When Captain Kelly got back to San
Francisco he filed a claim against the
United States for $780, 900, which claim
Bruce, Bovine & Co., the successors OF
Wright, Bovine & Co., who owned the
schooner, are now pushing. The claim IS
based upon the manner in which the skip
per was treated by Captain Johnson and
the loss entailed by being ordered out OF
Boring Sea.
Captain Kelly's father served on the old
Constitution, and the son was born on
June 3, 1896. AT the age of II he went out
as boat-steerer on the old bark Reindeer,
and when she was at Honolulu he and his
brother got left behind. He chartered the
Richmond, however, and made a success
of her, returning home with full ship.
In 1865 he went out in the President, and
again had a successful season, the profits
of the three voyages being $165.000.
In 1869 he went to the Arctic in the
Seneca. His vessel was one of the thirty
nine nipped in the ice, but out of the 1900
men WHO formed the crews not one was
lost. Afterward he was in the bark Eliza
for year and the Thomas Pope for a year.
While he was in the Lucretia, his next
command, the men mutinied. Captain
Kelly drew his pistol and ordered them to
turn to. They refused, and the leader of
the men snapped a revolver at the skipper.
Kelly shot him dead and that ended the
mutiny.
In 1891 he was wrecked in the Eliza on
ST. Lawrence Island, and during the tramp
to civilization one-half the men were so
badly frostbitten that their arms and legs
had to be amputated. When his brother
died Captain Kelly took the Jane Gray,
and his famous cruise in Boring sea was
his last,
