THE GLAZED KID BUSINESS.
Local Manufacturers Say the Trade is Con
fronted by a Peculiar Condition,

Local Manufacturers Say the Trade Is Com
fronted by Peculiar Condition.
All of the local glazed kid factories
are busy, so far as is known, but,
according to some of the manu-.
facturers, most peculiar condition
confronts the trade. Nearly every
manufacturer has sufficient orders to
warrant busy summer, but the prices
OF goat skins, the raw material, have
advanced to such a point that il ia
feared it may be necessary to curtail
the production before the summer is
over to prevent further increase in
the price of raw material. AS result
OF this condition and the great demand
for glazed kid, good prices are the
rule, and it is unfortunate that the
trade should be handicapped by the
high price of the raw skins.
Why, the condition is such,n a
prominent local manufacturer remarked
Saturday, that we actually do not
know what the result will be. Some
KIND OF goat skins are not only high in
price but so scarce that it is almost an
lmpossibility to get what we need at
any price, and we must do something
to relieve matters. We have been in
other manufacturing centres and find
That the condition is the same every
where, We do not want to shut down
or ourtall the output as long as the
demand warrants full production, and
now an effort is being made to arrive
at some solution of the difficulty that
Will permit US to run full. Tho
prospects for the summer and fall, go
far as sales are concerned, are sxoel-

M'KlNLEY TO HELP ADDICKS.

Wilmington Special in New York Evening Post.
A corner has been turned In the
history OF Delaware politics. Here
tofore the. Presidents sympathies have
teen with the anti-Addicks faution,
largly because OF personal friendship
between him and Col dupont, going
back to the OWL War. Mr.. Hanna,
as has long been we'll known, Is favora-
BILE to Addicks, but the President has
continued to stand by his old friend,
though somewhat quietly, and the
patronage has found its way in DUPONT
channels. But after the recent ad.
iournment OF the Legislature, leaving
two Senatorships vacant, the President
apparently signalized change of pur.
pose by the sppoir tment to the Clayton
postmastership of Mason an Addioks
man, upon the recommendation Of the
retiring Republican Congressman, Mr..
Hotfecker, who is q pronounced Ad-
dicks ,adherent. This might have been
an oversight, and SO a committee Of
dupont men, mostly from this CITY,
FASTENED to Washington to inquire
what it meant When they asked the
President IL he intended to turn the
patronage against them, he replied
somewhat evasively to the effect that
he intended to handle the patron
age personally, and in such way
rs to elect two Republican United
Stat Senators. He acknow lodged
that the appointment in question had
been made In full knowledge of its
factional bearings. The committee
has accordingly returned convinced
that the President has yielded to Sena-
tor lianna's recommendations.
The committeeman were also in
formed while in Washington that the
testimony which had turned the scale
in the Presidents mind was that con-
corning the different methods by which
the rival claimants, DUPONT and Ad-
dicks, had spent their money. MIR.
Addicks friends seemed 10 prove
that he had spent money, aud in
gums which ran to surprisingly large
figures to carry the little State for the
Republican ticket and that in doing
this he had made no distinction as to
factions. Some of his money went to
elect Republican legislative candidates
nominated in New Castle county by
Joint cRuouses in several of which his
own men had been beaten.
Col. DUPONT on the other hand had
used money in some instances IL was
charged to defeat Republican candi-
dates and to elect Democrats where the
former were under Addicks' influence.
The President thus became convinced
that Addicks had the better claim Of
rendering strict party service was the
less of factonalist of the two and so
the power of the Federal administration
will nov be in his favor.
IL any Senators are elected by the
present Legislature Addicks must be
one Of them. The plan will be through
the aid of the patronage to get suf-
ficient number of the members OF the
Legislature to agree upon two Senators
Addicks and somebody else and when
this agreement has been reached the
governor, an Addicks man, will call
the legislature in extra session and the
election, will proceed. The President
rarely fails when he takes matter of
this kind personally in hand, and the
Addicks faction here regard the out.
look as extremely favorable.

TWO CRIMINALS AT LARGE.

And Yet They Are Wanted to Answer in
Delaware-Why They Were Not Brought
Here.
On Tuesday, March 9th, State De-
teetivo d. j. McVey went to Philadel-
phia to inspect some thieves who had
been arrested, and among the number
recognized "Bucky" CUNNINGHAM, who
was wanted here to answer charge of
stealing wire, and George Welch, who
had been indicted on like charge, but
had escaped from New Castle Jail while
awaiting trial. At Detective Mover g
request, Cunningham and WEIGH were
held to await the action Of the Della
ware authorities, and he promised to
return with q requisition for them on
the following Tuesday, March 18th.
On Friday, March Sth, Detective
Money went to Dover and obtained
from Gov. Hum requisition for the
return of the two thieves to Delaware.
This was about II o'clock. About 3
o'clock he was informed that Gov.
HUM desired to see him. He at once
went to the governors office. "Have
you that requisition With your" asked
the governor. II have" replied Mo-
Vey. Well" continued the governor,
- guess you had better let me have it.
Wards making fuss" Detective
Money returned the requisition and
left the office.
A this time the new bills with rela-
tion to the Office Of State detectives
had not become laws, and the interest
ing question is why there should have
been any opposition to Detective Money
serving the requisition for the return
of Cunningham and WEIGH.
Meanwhile, the two crooks were held
by the Philadelphia police until the
following Tuesday, when, the Delaware
authorities not appearing to claim
them, they were released and are now
at large,
