A Personal Explana tion.

During the discussion in the Republican
Co vention Of last evening. ! took occa.
sion, In supporting the principles Of & cd
government, to impute to a gentleman mot
Of the convention, but of the party mo.
tives, to nv m nd, calculated to bring dis.
repute az injury to the Republican party
of Hawaii. Mr.. Humphreys, had
made the public charge up n the flool Of
the convention, t at the purpose of the au-
thors OF the Commit ee's report, then un-
der dis ussion, was to prevent the Hawaii.
an and Portuguese voters from carrying
the primaries, and controlling the Repub.
lican party.
Mr.. Lorrin Andrews, the alleged author
Of the report, has this morning denied to
having made any such statement 10 Mr..
Humphreys, or having ever entertained
any such purpose as was impu ed b. Mr..
Humpnre,s to the authors of tn report.
This brings the ma ter to a question of
veracity between Mr.. humphreys and Mr..
Andrews. Whilst not recrding from the
stand took In den uncing any method
which. In my opinion, would al enate
from the party the support of the Hawaii
an vote, feel that an injustice has been
done Mr.. Andrews, and ! now publicly
withdraw anything which ! may have
said rejecting upon him.

PEERLESS CRAFTSMEN.
O1ibway Indians Great Skill as Wood
workers.

O1IDWoy lndlauS Great Skill Wood
workers.
A class of woodworkers who have
never been organized into unions, per-
haps because no business agent knows
Ojibway Indians. In the forests OF
Minnesota and of northern Michigan
these primitive woodworkers live. An
ak and a drawknife. an awl and
pocket-knife complete their fullest set
of tools. With these they produce
wooden articles OF beauty and utility.
The genius of these workers is of wide
scope. their work ranging from the
graceful sailboats of unequaled speed,
in which they fish for food or race for
pleasure. to the carved crosses which
mark the graves of their children.
From the handling OF forest giant"
in the lumber camp to the carving Of
an arrow, the Ojibway Indian shows
his peerless skill as woodworker. The
arrows of the other Indian tribes have
sharp, pointed heads, and require
feathering to make them go true. and
to carry them point on to the object
aimed at. The arrows of the Pueblo
and other southern Indians have deli
cately pointed tips of steel or flint.
which cleave the air. The Ojibway's
arrow differs from these. The head is
a heavy. broad-faced block of wood;
from this blunt head. broader than
the face Of a half dollar, the arrow ia
pers, cone-like, to narrow stem which
gradually diminishes in size to the
notched end. The arrow looks awk-
ward, with its broad head. heavy
enough to crush the skull of a deer,
but scientists say it is the ideal form
Of projectile The Mackinac boats Of
the Ojibways are built on the lines Of
their arrows-broad Of bow and ta-
pering gracefully aft. These Indian
men are not the only skilled wood
workers Of the northern forests. The
women and children make baskets Of
thin strips of the iron wood, and vari-
Gus kinds of fancy work from the
tough birch bark To ornament the
baskets and toy birch bark canoes,
quills of the porcupine stained in
bright colors are used to embroider
pictures Of stars or flowers upon the
bark. With such nicely do the Indian
women and children weave the bas-
kets of brightly colored strips of wood
and the other northern summer resorts
fail to appreciate the worth of the In
dian wares, mistaking them for the
product of machinery in city facto-
ries.
