SKINNED milk is being used for making
buttons. combs, backs of hair brushes,
pool balls and similar articles. The pro-
cess was invented by an Englishman. The
milk is mixed with a substance the in
gradients of which are, of course, the sec
RET of the inventor. 1t is compressed. and
at the end of three days is as solid as
celuloid and is ready to be cut and shaped
IN any way the manufacturer wishes. At
present a factory in Holland is engaged
in fashioning the hardened milk into var
ious articles, buttons being the chief.
They differ very little in appearance from
ordinary bone buttons. They can be col
ored any color by simply mixing the coll
oring matter with the milk before the
hardening process begins. but are natur-
aily a creamy white. They are said to
he less brittle than bone or eelluloid and
less liable to break. This substance has
been found to be especially adapted to the
making of combs, as it is smooth and deli
cate to the touch, and derives from its
creamy origin a glossy surface.

Judge McComas is admirably qualified for
the pest to which he aspires, he is ardentiy
a friend OF Maryland's best interests and
his relations with the administration In this

The confirmation by the Senate yester-
day Of the nomination of Attorney General
McKenna to be an associate justice of the
Supreme Court was the right thing to do
under the circumstances. Justice McKenna
is a man of ability and discretion. He has
acceptably filled many Offices Of Importance
and his service on the bench in California
gave him the experience and showed his
qualifications for satisfactory work in the
highest court in the American judicial
system. The objections that were raised
against his confirmation were trif1ing and
unworthy. The Presidents judgment in Sc
lection was to be relied upon. The Senate
did not allow itself to be Influenced by
petty considerations and it's acquiescence
in the Presidents choice will doubtless be
amply justified by Justice McKenna's
course on the bench. Westinghouse are
pleased that he will remain a citizen of
the capital. They learned to know and to
esteem him during his term of Congress
SIGNAL service and were gratihed at his
return as member of the Mckinley cabi-
net.

Modified both her army and her navy and
is today on a war footing with sufficient
force to compel respect for her demands,
save against a combination of powers. On
the present standing Japan is the most
potent of the elements in the case, SO far
as the forces on the ground ready for i'm
mediate action are concerned. With this
in view 1t is to be seen that Japan's in
huence must be strong with England, both
as an encouragement in the dispute and as
menace. While England is managing the
diplomatic end Of the controversy at pres
ent 1t is realized in London that Japan will
Tot be likely to tolerate back-down, which
will threaten her interests materially.
Thus the British government is between
two fires, just as is the Chinese govern
ment- 1t Is to be seen that the war talk
that Is now being heard from the English
side is not idle talk. but Is significant of a
grim realization Of the needs of the hour.
England has made many displays Of force
and threatening diplomacy in the recent
past. but this time it would seem as though
the hour had come for deeds unless that
nation is to lose all prestige as factor in
the far east.

General Warmers warning.

In some observations the other day to q
representative of The Star on the subject
of the political situation, General Warner
of Ohio, president of the Bimetallic League,
said:
"An attempts to repeat the tactics of 1892
and impose on the party another Cleveland
as its leader will utterly fail. That an at
tempt will be made to depOse Bryan and
elevate some man like Cleveland has been
anticipated, and the people are on to it. 1t
will not work. The people will stay with
Bryan and he with them"
The tactics of 1892, General Warner ought
to remember. went with the conditions Of
that year. The one can no more be re-
peated than can the other. So there need
be no fear that the democratic party in
1900, or at any future time, will repeat
tactics wholly out of date. Sufficient unto
the presidential year is the fine work there
of. Mr.. Bryans peril Is that he will have
to meet In 1900 conditions that will differ
somewhat from those OF 1896 He may not
be chosen leader again, but no man like
Mr.. Cleveland will stand the remotest
chance of the nomination.

Falsta6 In Havana.

The Spar ish news from Cuba again
shapes itself to the emergency. During
General Weyler's day, whenever the de-
bates in Congress here would take on q
vigorous anti-Spanish tone, the cable from
Havana would bring particulars OF the
most substantial and assuring Spanish
triumphs in the field. With the aid Of a
writing pad and few clicks OF the teie-
graph key in his palace, General Weyier'
purely for American consumption, would
put insurgent columns to rout In every
direction Provinces were pacified while
ono waited. The thing was a marvel in its
way.
Again. the marvel. The debates in Con-
sress are now warm for Cuba, and Spanish
triumphs are coming hot and thick over
the wires. General Blanco-with sugges-
ticns probably from this end-copies the
Weylerian trick. He is performing won
ders in the island Autonomy is succeed
ing. and the insurgents are being scattered
to the four winds Presently there will
not be left a single rascal Of the whole
lawless band with a weapon in his hand.
Consider tie cause of Cuba in Congress
now? Why, 1t is too late, The Jig is UP
with Cuba.
1t was only the other day that the Ques-
president of Cuba?'' The insinuation was
that there was mo SIGH person" The
individual exploited under that sounding
title was d Cuban relative of Mrs. Hair
ris." The next day the myth materialzed.
The Spanish themselves had discovered the
president of Cuba They had made terms
of peace with his own brother. They were
established now right in the family. The
president himself would soon follow. 1t
was all a lie. No brother of the president
of Cuba had surrendered. But the lie
lived and did service for about twelve
hours.
Where is the capital of Cuba?" was
another question which, put with frown
and in severe tone of voice. was designed
TO floor any foolish person daring to utter
a word for Cuba The insinuation was that
no such place existed The bandits had no
capital unless such a title might be be-
slowed on General Gomez's saddle bags.
The ruffians carried their capital about
with them 1t was here today and there
tomorrow. Now tine Spaniards boast that
they have found the capital of Cuba and
have sacked it. There actually was such
a place and il was town. The saddle
bags Of General Gomez have been stripped
of their honor. The capture of the place
required desperate fighting, but the Span
iards, as usual, proved equal to the emer-
gency. They massed and carried formida-
BILE works The insurgents were simply
cleaned out A call in the name of king
and country, glorious charge. and the he
roic business was accomplished
And SO it goes. 1t Is a simple sum in
proportion. Given the temper of the Gu
ban debate in Congress and your Spanish
Low
mined. Those Spanish officials in Cuba
may net be much as fighters, but they are
superb as fakirs. They are really out
of tteir element with swords at their side.
They ought to start a sensational news
paper and call it "Falstaff's Daily Ga
