The manufacture of charcoal Of an i'm
portant commercial value from common
leather waste or scrap is mentioned in The
Leather Reporter-that is, as charcoal pro-
duced from leather has been found to be
of such peculiar value in certain processes
of tempering, plan has been brought for
ward for utilizing the waste leather which
accumulates in shoe shops, etc., by con-
verting it into charcoal. The plant for
manufacturing this kind of charcoal con-
sists essentially of q metal retort, something
like those for the production of illuminat-
ing gas, and the cost Of such an equipment
is calculated not to much exceed 5000,
while one man unaided can easily operate
the whole. The shrinkage Of the leather
scrap in thus becoming charcoal is said to
be not more than 80 per cent.

Here the lady to whom this grandilo-
quent address had been directed, struck
dumb with amazement at the boys words
and air of oondescensiop, recovered her
speech. Her face was flushed and her
black eyes flashed dangerously as she
screamed:

 NEW YORK, March 5.-A special to The World from Havana says the state of public feeling in the United States on the Cuban question and the general indignation excited by General Wey- ler's first announcement of his new plans, no doubt explains the nonap- pearance of another proclamation which was to have been issued late in Febru- sry. General Weyler was advised from Washington that the announcement of his plans had excited much sympathy for Cuba and another proclamation would be likely to hasten action by the American congress General Weyler has apparently acted upon this advice and while he has not deviated from the policy he first announced, he has given up conducting his campaign by procla. nations

Cleveland Following the Policy Adopted b, Presfdent Grant.
 V WASHINGTON, March 5. The very clear and exclusive statement by the Associated Press of tho view Of the ad- ministration upon tho question of re- oognizing Cuban belligerents, created great interest. .ln the house yesterday. Several members who are enthusiastic for Cuba suggested that the resolutions should be reconsidered and changed from concurrent to joint resolutions so Shat President Cleveland would be com pelled to sign them or veto them. But this proposal was discouraged by the leaders in foreign affairs.
 It is pointed out that the administra- tartion practically holds the same posi- ton that President Grant maintained during the 10 years rebellion. Most of the constitutional authorities conoede that recognition is an executive act so that tho friends of the resolutions find little ground for hope that recognition would be extended until the insurgents win decisive victory or materially change their plans of campaign and government. Members of the foreign sG; s committee say congress has done gil in it's power expressing by the msdi- nm of tho resolutions it's convictions upon the policy which tho government shnuld nursue.
