tBy Telegraph 10 the Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON, January 23.--Tn the
Senate to-day the Chair laid before that
body memorial Of the Women's Silk
Culture Association of the United
States. The memoriaIists recite great
success through their efforts of the work
of silk-culture in the homes Of this coun-
try, and crave the good will, influence.
and aid of Congress in the develop
ment Of an industry so important
to the women and children of the
United States. The memorialists
beg the Senate to accept with their me-
mortal truly American national flag
made of silk raised in American homes
by American women and children,
reeled, spun, dyed, woven. and mount
ed in Philadelphia. The flag, which is
a large and handsome one, was borne
TO the desk, and was the subject Of
much admiration both from the floor
and galleries.
Mr.. Beck offered resolution express
ing the thanks of the Senate for the
flag and admiration for the efforts and
success of the Women's Silk-Culture
Association in their patriotic purpose
to ameliOrate the industrial condition of
their countrywomen and to enlarge and
diversity female employment in the
United States.
Mr.. Morgan, in feeling and happy
manner, welcomed the flag, with all
that it meant, to the hall Of the Senate.
There was time, he said, when he was
acting in hostility to the flag, but that
time would never again come. The
sentiment which it embodied in the form
now presented to the Senate was one
which added strength to the bond of
union between the States, and intensi-
fled the love Of country that every Anne
rican should be prompt to feel and eX-
press.
Mr.. Dawes congratulated the country
on the great advance made in silk-cul-
ture in so short time, it being only a
few years since the work was under
taken.
Mr.. Bcek's resolution was then agreed
to.
When the House met this morning a
handsome silk American flag similar
to that presented to the Senate orna-
mcnted the wall behind the Speakers
chair: and after the reading of the
journal the Speaker laid before the
House a communication from the Phlla-
delphia Women's Silk-Culture Associa-
ton of the United States rendering the
flag to the House of Representatives.
and bespcaking for it a place in the
halls of the National Government.
Mr.. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, offered
a resolution, which was adopted, ac-
cepting the flag and declaring that the
excellence of the fabric and the perfcc-
ton of the colors it displays affords
evidence of the remarkably rapid de
yclopment of the culture and manufac-
turc of silk by the American people,
and that the House will cause the flag
to be displayed within the halls Of the
House.
