this is that the thumb and first finger
can be used to grip the smallest end Of
the thread as soon as it protrudes from
the eye, a method prefera BILE to that of
letting go the thread and endeavoring
to get hold of the end with the right
hand. This prevents the weight of the

SECRETARY HAYS REPLY.

Answers the House Resolution Regarding
the Macrum Charges.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-The answ err
of. the state department to the house
resolution calling for information re-
garding certain charges made by late
Consul Macrum has been transmitted to
the house by tho president. 1t says:
Answering the first part of the reso-
luton: The department. Of state has
been in regular communication by mail
and telegraph with Charles E. Macrum,
late consul Of the United States at Pre-
torip, South African republic, since his
entrance upon the duties of the Office.
Communications made to him have been
answered and the execution of instruc-
tions sent has been reported by him.
His dispatches to the department., for
warded through the consulate at Lour-
EMO Marques, have during the time
been regularly received. The only in
stance Of complaint in respect to the
transit of the mails for Lourenzo Mar
ques and Pretoria was in November
last when temporary stoppage of the
mails occurred at Cape Town, against
which Macrum and the consul at Lour-
erZo Marques protested. Arrangements
were made for the prompt delivery Of
the consular mails to the United States
consul general at Cape Town, bv whom
the mail for Mr.. Hollis and Mr.. Macrum
WAS forwarded to Loureuzo Marques.
The delay lasted but few days and
has not REQUIRED so far as the depart
mint is advised. After that time the
dc ;'rrment's mail for Lnurenzo Mar
qles and Pretoria was sent by u neutral
route which it appears was known and
open to Mr.. Macrum and Mr.. Hollis as
early as Nov. Is last. No obstacle,
therefore, is known to have existed
since then to Mr.. Macrum's unham-
pered correspondence with the depart
ment of state.
''At no time while at his post did Mr..
Macrum report to the department any
instance of violation by opening or
otherwise Of his official mail by the Brit
ish censor at Durham or by any person
or persons whatsoever, there or else
where. Neither has he so reported
since he left Pretoria, although having
the amplesG opportunity to DO so by
mail while on the way home and in
person when he reported to the depart
ment upon his return.
answering the second part of the
aforesaid resolution, the undersigned,
secretary Of state, has the honor to say
that there is no truth in the charge that
secret alliance exists between the re-
pire Of Great Britain; that no form of
secret alliance is possible under the Con-
stitution Of the United States inasmuch
as treaties require the advice and con.
sent Of the senate; and finally that no
secret alliance, convention, arrange
ment, or understanding exists between
the United States and any other ma
tiOn."
