BERNABE's BANQUET
Which Led to Criticism of Minister
Woodford

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Ministel
Woodford's words at the dinner to Senoi
Polo y Bernabe were in the name of the
President and people of the United
States. says the Madrid correspondent ol
the Herald.
Il wish him." said the Minister. "a
safe voyage and assure him of most
cordial welcome by the government at
Washington. drink to peace. May
peace always be and abide between the
land of Columbia and that new land be-
yond the sea which Columbus gave to
civilization and to the future"
Minister Woodford's speech, which
was purely spontaneous, begun thus:
my Friends: I ask you to join me In
drinking to the health of Her Majesty,
the Queen Regent of Spain. My gov
ernment is especially gratified that Her
Majesty has named as representative
to the United States our friend and guest
at this table, Senor Polo y Bernabe. He
will be thrice welcome at Washington.
His father, Admiral Polo de Bernabe, and
his wife's father were long and honored
representatives from Spain to the United
States and in the new Minister my peo-
pie will recognize a worthy representa-

to locate them, as has been reported in
some quarters. Officials of the Navy De-
partment say the effect of this state
ment, If it is to be accepted as conclu-
sive on that point, is almost certain to
negative the supposition that the dis
aster resulted from other than acciden-
tai causes. as the almost unanimous tes-
timony of experts here, based on the
history of torpedo work, is to the effect
that no single torpedo of any known type
could have caused the terrific wreck OF
the Maine.
In the pursuit of details, some of the
ordnance officers, acting upon the theory
that the large ten-inch magazine for
ward was not exploded. have been look
ing into the contents of the smaller and
adjoining six-inch magazine. They hnd
that, allowing for the amount OF powder
that was probably consumed in prac-
tice drills by the Maine before she ar
rived in Havana harbor, there was GER
tainly no less than 5000 pounds of pow
der in this magazine, an amount suff-
cient to have caused enormous destruc-
ton had it been exploded at one
time.
Colonel Haywood, Commandant
of Marines, acting under orders from the
Navy Department is preparing to send
all the marines at Kew West, survivors
of the Maine, who are able to travel, to
New York. where they will be placed on
the ship Vermont there to be held for
further assignment. They will go by

FEBRUARY FINANCES
Customs Receipts Will Show Small
Gain

WASHINGTON. Feb. 26.-The month
ly treasury statement, to be issued Tues
day next, will show small surplus for
the month of February. The customs
receipts for the month, up to today
amount to $14,4S6, lis. a gain over the
same period last year of over So, 250. .O0O
The receipts from internal revenue show
an increase of about S564. 900. The excess
of expenditures over receipts for the first
year of the present administration, ex-
elusive of the Pacific railroad payments,
is about $24,000,000 as compared with a
deficit of about S47 900 for the first year
of the last administration. 1t is expect
ed by treasury officials that the receipts
from the customs for March will show
material increase over any previous
month during the year, and as there will
be small interest payments due, it is ex-
pected that the surplus for March will
aggregate $5000,O00.

WHITE LEATHERS.
Cowhide, Cnlfskin and SheepskIn,
nnd the Cscs to Which They
Are Chiefly Put.

White cowhide has long been used for
various purposes, though its place has
now been taken 10 n considerable ex-
tent by other and cheaper feathers. 1t
is used. for example, in making sus-
penGer tips, and its use in making mill
tary belts is familiar. For this purpose
it is made up with the flesh side out, and
the belts arr whitened as occasion may
require with chalk or pipe clay, says the
New York Sun.
White calfskin is more extensively
used than white cowhide. White calf
is used for fine and costly work in book
binding, it may be for gift books. and
sometimes for prayer books. White
calf is also used for suspender tips.
More extensively used than either
white cowh;de or white ca!f$l;in are the
white sheeps1ins. White sheepskin is
used also for suspender tips. ard for
covering trusses and other articles OF
metal. and for the trimmings nf shoes.
1t is used for book binding, especially
for the binding Of medical books, in
which use it is first sprinkled with
coloring material which gives it a mot
tied appearance.

very wise and sensible rule as regards
the practice Of assigning counsel to de-
fsDd insolvent criminals. The Court
gave il out, tina. except in special cases,
no counsel would be assigned to defend
criminals That 10 capital cases such
would be done, and where the youth Of
the accused or in some special case when
it was apparent that the accused should
hsve counsel they would assign, but
when the latter was done the fee charged
should not be over twenty dollars. and
If az attorney so assigned should trans
gress this direction Of the Court in that
respect. be would never again be assign
ed. Judge Merrick speaking for the
Court, said that il bad been brought to
tie Courts attention that the matter Of
assigning counsel 10 defend INDECENT
prisoners had been much abused, and
the Court meant to put stop to the
practice. The position Of the Court in
the matter is undoubtedly right and will
be generally approved by the public.
