THEY HAVE 1T,

Secretary Endicott Makes a Re-
port on the Battle Flag Resolu-
tiOn.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The secretary
of war to-day returned to the house his
answer to the Boutelle resolution calling
for information as to where the flags
captured by the United States have been
removed from the place where they are
displayed and concealed, and if so, by
what, authority and for what purpose:
and, Further, as to what propositions
have been made 10y government officials
for the surrender of these flags, and
whether it is true that portion of them
were actually surrendered to persons
having no right to their possession. AS
a preliminary the secretary gives brief
history of the flags. OF the whole num-
Der captured and deposited with the de-
partment 236 were United States flags
originally captured by Confederates and
recaptured from them, and 544 were
Confederate flags taken by the United
States troops, making total of 7SO in
the custody of the department. When
received they were deposited in vacant
attic room of building on Seventeenth
street, occupied by the clerks of the ad-
jutant generals Office. In 1867 the SUI
perintendent of the building, without
instruction, so far as can be aScertained,
had them removed to his office, where a
few were placed upon the walls and the
remainder upon shelves or in pigeon
holes. AT this time an inventory of
these flags was entered i'll book, in
which was also entered description
and brief history of the capture of those
that could be identified as belonging to
particular organizations. They re-
NAMED here until the latter part of 1874.
1t is stated that while some of the Con-
federate flags have since been given to
the companies or regiments capturing
them,
NO FLAGS HAVE PASSED OUT
of the custody of the department that
were in such custody when Secretary
EndicOtt assumed charge of the depart
ment. The order to return the flags
and the order revOking it are given, and
the statement is made that no flags were
actually returned under the first order.
AS to the law requiring the public eX-
hibitiOn of captured flags and trophies,
it is assumed that the construction put
upon it by the former secretaries of the
war and navy was that the law applied
to trophies taken from foreign enemy,
and not to those taken during domestic
hOStifities. In the autumn of 1874 pOr-
tiOn of the flags were removed from the
, Office OF the superintendent of the war
department buildings, it is presumed
by the oral direction OF the then secre-
tary of war, to the ordnance museum
in Winders' building, and then placed
OH exhibition, and others were sent to
the same place in 1875. The larger part
OF the flags, however, still remained in
tle o1lce OF the superintendent Such

LANGFORD, Dak., Feb. 2O.-Con-
stable Hubbard, of Langford, had oc-
casion to go to Lynn lake, about fif-
teen miles southeast of here, in Day
county. 1t appears that an old Scandi-
navian by the name of Anderson, said
to be ninety-six years old, was living
with his son and grandson on the banks
of Lynn lake and was sick at the time
of the great blizzard and confined to his
bed. On the morning Of the blizzard
his son and two women went out to do
chores, leaving the grandson and two
children in the house with the old man
and only an armful of hay for fuel,
those at the barn expecting to bring in
more hay. The storm put in such
sudden appearance that those at the
barn did not dare to 60 to the house,
and remained in the barn until the next
day. During this time the old man
froze to death. His relatives carried
him into the granary. threw an old
quilt over him and there he was when
Mr.. Hubbard arrived, having laid
there for four weeks. Mr.. Hubbard
notified the commissioners and they Or
dered the body buried.

One Days Record of Hard
Working Public Servant.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Congressman
Macdonald introduced memorials from
the cities of Faribault, Red Wing,
Mortified and Hastings, signed by the
mayor and clerk, petitioning congress
to discontinue the practice of passing
appropriation bills for government
buildings, and instead thereof to pass a
general appropriation bill for the
erection of postoffice buildings in every
city of 5000 inhabitants or over, say not
less than $1,000 for each 1000 inhabi-
tants. 1t is unjust discrimination to
make appropriations for buildings in
large cities only, because special Iegis-
latiOn is wrong in principle, cOrrupting
and demOraliZing. The legislation
recommended would result in the erec-
ton of about 200 buildings at an ex-
penditure not exceeding $20,000,0OO.
millions annually now paid in rent. A
memorial of the Farmers alliance of
Carver county, Mimi, in favor of the
reduction of tariff and other legislation.
A bill granting pension to Lewis Tel.
yea, of Appleton, Minn., a Union vet,
eran. A bill to change the rate Of post
age Oh seeds, plants and merchandise.
This bill is the result of much consider
alton and extensive correspondence
with farmers and small dealers most in+i
tereSted. The rate now is cent ali
ounce, and the new rate is to be two
ounces for l cent or half cent an
ounce. This was the rate charged, but
under Republican regime the rate was
doubled, as is currently believed, wholly
in the interest of the express companies
whose lobbyists procured its PASSAGE.
Judge Macdonald intends to give es-
pecial attention to this matter, both be-.
fore the committee on pOStOffices and
post roads. to which it was referred. and
before the house when it is reported for
final action. Also protest from the
Minneapolis board of trade against leg
islatiOn intended to hinder or pre-
vent the, transportation of freight
Canada. Also bill to % place
upon the retired list with rank
and pay of major general any officer of
the army of the United State in the late
war for the Union of the age of sixty
live years or more, who was major
general and commanded geographic
cally defined military department and
one or more army corps in the field.
It's understood that the object of this
bill is to allow Gen. John G. Fremont
and Gen. W. S. Rosecrans to be placed
upon the retired list of the army with
rank and pay Of major general AS an
evidence of their purity of character.
IN addition to their distinguished publics
services, these soldiers are, in their old
age, in limited circumstances, and il
would be a graceful act upon the part
OF the country they served so well to
thus recognize their distinguished serY-
ices. s
