The price OF raw skins has adj
vanced 81 per dozen, while the sup
ply does not equal the demand.
This advance in the raw skins will
have tendency to advance the
price in finished skins. Shoes have
advanced from 5 to 10 per cent with
every prospectof further advance
before the first Of the year. Wages
which is the very last thing to adj
vance, will, in all probability ad.
vance in keeping with the demand
for skilled labor, which is more
sought after by the employer, than
for several years past.

got glimpse Of the much lionized
Dewey as he stood out on the rear

JACK AND HIS WILL.

A Special Act of the British Parlfa-
ment ArranEcs That Matter.
Jack has the proud distinction of
having had an act of parliament passed
for the express purpose of deciding the
way in which he must make his will.
so that while all other Britons are
Jumped together in this matter under
the wills act of 1888 sailors testament
airy documents are made under the
naval wills act of 1855. The most i'm.
portant proviso of this act is that all
wills made by sailors or marines must
be witnessed and attested by the chap
lain or some other officer if they are
actually made on board ship, and this
Is somewhat curious.
IT sailor likes to make his will on
shore. any one can witness it for him,
but on board ship the case is different
Needless to say they almost all to
man choose the latter course, as they
know that things will be straighter for
bearing an officers signature. If. how
ever, suprosing that the vessel was in
action and man was to be struck
down who had not previously made
will, if he had to do SO before he died.
even IT it were not attested by an Off
Ger, the admiralty has full power to
act on the merits of the case and to dis
pense with that or any other formality
that it was impossible to comply with.
Another thing--a sailor shares with
soldier the privilege Of when on active
service being the only man who can
dispense with written will and make
verbal one
In former times any one could make
his will verbally if he so desired,
but this, as may be supposed, opened
the door to no end of fraud. and it was
consequently repealed in the 1888 act,
except in the case mentioned above.
On the night before ship or a regi-
ment goes into action there is no more
pathetic sight than to see the men,
young and old, laboriously writing their
wills in case tomorrow should be their
last day in this world, and what with
witnessing wills and making them on
the forms issued by the authorities for
those who cannot write-and this class
has now almost entirely disappeared
from both the navy and the army-the
officers have very busy time.

Gals that an offensive campaign must
be Immediately assumed In the Philip
pines. This is no longer. matter OF
choice, but Of necessity, against which,
the officials say, sentimental considera-
tons cannot stand. In their opinion the
lives and health of American troops
now in the neighborhood Of Manila de-
pend upon the initiation of such cam

General Otis report of the big fire In
Manila, while agreeing closely with the
press reports, makes mention Of rath-
err formidable demonstration by the In
surgents near Caloocan, the scene of
some Of the heaviest fighting succeeding
the first engagement with the insur-
gents on the 18th.
This is taken as an indication that the
rebels have not yet been thoroughly I'M
pressed with the strength Of the Ameri-
can arms. A disquieting feature noted
in the press reports is the presence OF
small bodies of armed insurgents with
In the American outposts, possibly an
evidence that our lines are too far ex-
tended and ,too-thin around Manila.
1t is realized that 1t will be necessary
to sweep the country clear OF all nostlle
elements. The task will be difficult be-
cause Of the resemblance Of the Fill
pinos to one another, which would make
It hard to distinguish between a nom
combatant and rebel. Sometimes there
Is no such distinction, the one resolving
into the other at short notice, for 1t Is
patent now that the Filiplnos cannot be
counted upon to observe any Of the rules
Of war and must be fought on the same
basis as Indians.
A most serious problem confronts
General Otis in the protection of Manila
and the suburban towns from fire. not
only because of the treacherous charac-
ter Of the rebel Filipinos, but also be-
cause outside of the business establish
ments the houses are built Of the Aim
siest bamboo. hung with mating
screens. The walled town which the in
surgents threaten to burn is said to be
of substantial construction and prob
ably Is more easily defended against
such an attempt than any other section
of the town.

Former Tells Why He Thinks Latter
Sent Him Poison.
ALWAYS HOSTILE TO HIM.
There Was No One, Says Corh'""'
Who Showed Him an Much EN-
nifty ms MOlineux DID.
The Barnet Cnse.

New York, Feb. 24.-Harry Cornish on
the witness stand at the Adams Inquest
accused Roland B. Molineux of having
sent him the poisoned bromo settler.
Cornish also said he suspected MOL
neux of sending the poisoned Kutnow
powder to Barnet. He said Molineux
was his bitter enemy and the only man
who could have motive for wishing to
take his life.
In answer to a question asking him to
state his ideas as to motive for the
crime he said:
Il would like to begin with 'Wednes-
day night, when l was first taken SICK.
DR.. Phillips told me then, remember
that Barnet's case had been like mine.
That was the first heard that Barnet
had been poisoned l was busy at the
time of Barnet's illness coaching foot
ball team.
1.-THE next morning, l remember now,
Mr.. Yocum told me that the stun was
not cyanide of potassium, but Cyanlde or
mercury. / had a talk with Captain NC
Clusky that day, and that was the only
statement that l really made. though
have talked with him probably from
one to five hours daily since then.
have tried to help all could, and l am
anxious to find out who sent the stun to
me.
ION Friday morning saw the alleged
facsimile, and / say now that 1t looks
like the handwriting of Mr.. Moineux.
AS soon as l saw it said that he had
sent the stuff to Barnet. i Will say this,
that on Jan. l there We're so men in the
Knickerbocker Athletic club who de-
clared openly that Molneux had sent
the poison.
Always Hostile.
II think that MolineuX has always
shown enmity to me, and he Is doing so
now. He has lied about me. he got G. {.
Hughes to make those charges against
me, and Mr.. Hughes told me since then
that he was sorry that he had been
dragged into the case. / have heard all
sorts of stories about him.
IT heard from many men in the club
that Miss Cheesebrough was intimate
with Barnet. Molineux circulated stories
of degeneracy through Malcolm Ford
about men in the club.
NOW MIS-. Mol'neux mas Sdlu tnat Sne
was never in Barnet's room alone. Har-
ny Wetherspoon will swear that one
night he was passing Barnet's room and
was called in. Barnet and Miss Cheese
brough were there alone drinking wine.
They had another bottle together.
"Molineux said that Miss Cheese
brough went to the circus with Barnet
at his request. have since been told
that Molneux said to friends that he
wanted to attend the circus but that
since he had left the club he did not
know any one who would give him
tickets.
