HARRIS TELLS HIS STORY
KNOWS NOTHING OF MATTE
wYCKOFF'S DISAPPEARANCE.
Has Been Acquainted with the Fam
lily for Years-Told the Brothers All
He Knew.

The San Francisco papers of Febru-
airy IL, contain articles charging the
disappearance of Matte Wyco.~- and
Louise Garcia, aged Ia and 10 years
respectively, to Boatswain Harris of
the Australia.
The girls left their homes on the
evening of February 9Th, and had not
returned at the time of the publication
of the matter.
Harris was seen aboard the Austria
liza this morning and gives a very
straightforward account of his conneC-
ton with the matter. He says he has
long known the WyCkoff family and
has frequently called on them and ia
ken members of the family, Matte
among others. to the theater. He had
called on the family Monday evening,
as is stated in the San Francisco pa
pers. There was another caller there
at the same time. In the course of the
general conversation, Matte said she
had a date for that evening. This state
ment was heard by her mothers and
other members of the family. A little
later Harris asked Matte if she would
like to go to the theater. She said she
would, and with her mothers permits
sion they started. Half a block from
Mattie's home they met the Garcia
girl, whom Harris did not know. Then
5lattie said she was not going to the
theater but was going to keep her
date, and that she and the Gircia girl
We're going to the Steeplechase, near

The next day Mattie's brother asked

| complying with her request he told hin
to the Chutes. But when he learned
that she had not returned home he told
| her brother all the circumstances
| These he repeated to her father ant
other brother when they inquired. Tht
contradictions as to places upon which
so much stress is laid by the Sal

contradictions.

HANSEN AND KALAUKOA.
Nolle Prosequi Entered in Cases of the
Two Men.

In the police court this morning At
torney General Smith entered a nolle
prosequi in the case of A. Hansen and
John Kalaukoa, the two men arrested
in connection with the big haul of OPP
ium near Diamond Head and charged
with importing the same.
This action was unexpected by some
of the court spectators. The eXplana-
ton, however, is plain:
Hansen and Kalaukoa were arrested
on the bosom of the emerald sea, that
the poets whistle about. In the mid
die distance were some tloaters, be-
meath which was a quantity of opium.
Hansen and KalaulIoa were not hang
ing on to the floaters nor the opium,
and, in fact were not close enough TO
touch or, in legal terms, possess" it.
There are the facts in the nutshell.
One old native, d. *. Kahaloka by
name, was ready to swear that he had
been told that the opium belonged to
Hansen and Kalaukoa. Against his tes-
timony was that of the two men them
selves-or two for one. The result was
plain to the Attorney General and the
course stated was adopted.

PRIMITIVE HoRsEsHoEs.
Curious Methods for Saving the Hoofs
of the Equines.

In Japan most of the horses are shod
with straw. Even the clumsiest of the
cart horses wear straw shoes, which,
in their cases, are tied around the an
kles with straw rope, and are made of
the ordinary rice straw, braided so as
form a sole for the foot about half an
inch thick. These soles cost about one
cent a pair.
In Iceland horses are shod with the
sleeps horn. In the valleys of Upper
OXus the antlers of the mountain deer
are used for the same purpose, the
shoes being fastened with horn pins.
In the Soudan the horses are shod with
socks made of camels skin. In Aus
tralia horseshoes are often made out
of cowhide.
A German not long ago invented a
horseshoe of paper, made by saturat-
ing with OIL turpentine and other in
gradients. Thin layers of such paper
are glued on the hoof till the requisite
thickness is obtained, and the shoes
thus made are durable and impenetra-
BILE to moisture.
