CROKER GETTING SENSITIVE.

y
Richard Croker could stand good
deal of abuse from American papers
when he lived in this country and was
boss of Tammany, but he does not
propose to take it from British papers.
The London Magazine recently had an
article purporting to show up Mr.. Cro-
ker's relations To Tammany Hall, and
now Mr.. Croker has sued the proprie
tor Of the magazine for libel. II Is a
pity that the article complained Of Is
not quoted in the news item telling of
the suit. Americans would like to know
what it was that has touched a sensi.
tive spot in the former boss.
II is difficult to imagine that it can
be anything worse than some Of the
statements printed about him in Amer
ican papers He has in this country
been accused of almost every crime in
the calendar, not excepting the killing
Of another man. His political methods
have been denounced and his domino
ton Of Tammany was admittedly re.
tanned by policy that placed might
above right.
Since leaving the United States and
taking up his domieile in Great Britain
Mr.. Croker processes to have expe-
rienced a change of heart. He is no
longer the political boss, but respect
able private gentleman, and he demands
to be treated as such. He doesn't ike
to have old stories raked up and pre-
sented to the English reading public. |
Such publicity is not conductive to-
friendly intimacy with royalty and
dukes and earls. He wants the old life |
plotted out.

FREE BUFFALO HIDES.

The Treasury Department Is seeking
in the Circuit Court of New York, the
reversal Of decision by the Board of
Appraisers in New York that East In
dian buffalo hides are entitled to free
entry. The question at issue is wheth-
er such hides are to be regarded as
"hides Of CATTLE" as the term Is used
in the tariff, or as "hides not specially
provided for.s
The Treasury Department maintains
that these buffalo hides are hides oi cat,
tie, and are therefore subject to Is
per cent duty. Several years ago the
question as to the classification Of these
so-called buffalo hides came up and
was passed upon by the Board of Ap-
praisers and the Federal courts. All of
the tribunals found against the i'm
porters. The matter then went along
for some years, whem the importers
presented another case to the Board
of Appraisers, which ruled in their fa-
yor sustaining the claims for free en-
try. The Treasury Department does
not accept this ruling, which was
against the previous decision Of the
courts, and has decided to have the
matter again submitted to the courts,
with view to having these so,called
buffalo hides designated as hides Of cat
tie. The issue is Of great interest to
the tanning and shoe-making indus
tries.

TWO MORE VICTIMS OF
THE EARTHQUAKE.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 29.-Two
more victims were added to the long
roll of dead Of the fire and earthquake
Yesterday. Officer Dictel of the
Southern station reorted at olice head
quarters that M. Munther reported to
him that he had found the remains Of
a human body in the ruins OF the sa-
loon formerly conducted by Munther
at 765 Howard street. Munther stated
that all Of his relatives and friends had
beer accounted for, and he was unable
to explain the presence of the remains
except to surmise that ome refugee
had been tempted to steal the whisky
that had been left exposed on the bar
and drunk himself helpless.
Officer Balm reported that Kenneth
M. Forbes Of 1862 Twenty-fourth
avenue, Oakland, had found the re-
mains of a human body at the corner
of Third and ryant streets on Satur-
day morning. Forbes informed Balm
that the remains were those Of Fred
Kennel, a eddler, 70 years Of age,
who had lived on the corner where the
bones were found. Through some over
sight or negligence on the part OF the
station neither case was reported.

ALCOHOL

The senate finance committee has
made a favorable report on the bill
for permitting the use of tax-free de-
naturized alcohol, so that there is a
fair prospect of it's becoming a law. 1t
is favored ty everybody in the country
except the Standard Oil company and
"independents,' who naturally object
to any measure which will 1ncrease the
competition with gasoline and kerosine,
and the manufraeturerers of the olson
Gus wood alcohol, who fear the des-
truction of their industry, says the
San francisco Chronicle. Under pres
ent eond lions the use of wood alcohol
is a necessity and those who have cap
ital invested in its manufacture can
hardly he blamed for disliking to lose
their markets. 1t is not right, however,
that all the manufacturing interests Of
the country should continue to be
loaded with unnecessary expense in
order to benefit one class of our own
producers by imposing a p~rohibitive in
ternal tax on the products of another
class. When, Therefore the m~anufactur-
ers of wood alcohol engaged in active
lobbying against a bill evidntly for The
general good they forfeited the SYM
pathy W. rh might otherwise have been
extended to them.
In Old times the cost of producing al
cohol from corn was about IL or ID
cents per gallon, corn is higher now
but production has presumably been
cheapened. There was questionable
conflicting testimony before lie com
mittee IS to the present coast CT pro-
ducing alcohol from gran. bat tie
weight it was of ethyl alcohol, suit
able for all purposes for which alcohol
isus cd, can be produced cheaper than
wood alcohol which besides being very
offensive, can be used put for a few
purposes. Germany, which is the great
alcohol user of the world, obtains the
product mostly from potatoes. There
was little evidence before the commit
tee as to the relative cost OF potato
and grain alcohol in this country, but
there is a strong probability that in
California, at least, al ohol can be pro-
duced from potatoes at a cost which
will make it one of our importan- indus
tries. With that limited demand viii b
