INFORMATION WANTED.
The Resolution Concerning the Late Bat
tle-Flag Scandal.

WASHINGTON, January 11th.-It is under
stood the House Committee on Military
Affairs was ready to report to-day the reso-
luton of Representative BoutelIe of Maine
calling upon the Secretary of War for in
formation with reference to the proposed
surrender of the battle flags. Owing, how
ever, TO Boutelle's temporary absence from
the House, the report was withheld.
Boutelle said in an interview tonight
that he understood the resolution would be
reported favorably tomorrow, without ma
terial change. The only amendment of
importance is one which makes the resolu-
ton include cases where the flags of Union
troops recaptured from the Confederates
had been returned to regiments in the
loyal States. This, Boutelle said, did not
seem to him to have any bearing upon the
return of flags to the defunct organizations
of the Coniederacy.
Upon being asked whether it is true that
flags were removed from the Ordnance
Museum before the present Administration
come into power, Mr.. Boutelle replied that
he understood such to be the case, but
mere change in the location of flags was a
poor excuse for attempting to send these
sacred relics to the South.

went into Committee of the Whole upon

the Presidents message. Mills offered a
resolution, referring the message TO the
Committee on Ways and Means. The res
olution was agreed to. The House then
went into Committee of the Whole on the
" little deficiency bill"
4 long debate ensued, and during its
progress the question as to where the re-
sponsibility for the defeat of the deficiency
bill at the last session rested was fully dis
cussed. The custom of holding back APP
preparation bills also received considerable
attention.
On motion of Burns, an amendment was
adopted apprOpriating 100000 for the pay

HUNTINGTON's LINES.
North Texan Towns that Want to be on
a Railroad.

BoNHAM (rex.), January 1.-The. P.
huntington great railroad, the ST. Louis
and San Francisco, is a much sought after
institution by the North Texas towns.
The local press for the past two or three
weeks has been urging upon the citizens
the necessity of immediate action in trying
to secure line of the road through this
part of the State.
Arthur City, on the Red river, sixty miles
northeast of here, is the present eastern ter
minus of the line, and the most feasible as
well as most practicable route for the road
to penetrate Texas is direct from Arthur
City to Fort Worth, distance of 175 miles
BY this means North Texas would secure
competing line not only to st. Louis and
the East but also to the Pacific coast
The towns along the proposed route will
offer liberal bonuses, and it is probable that
by the middle of June next work will have
commenced on the st. Louis and San Fran
cisco through Texas.

ports an interview with Congressman
Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts,
concerning the feeling in the Bay State
with reference to the nomination of Blaine

Republicans of Massachusetts, are strongly
in favor of Blaine, more so than of any
other State of which he knows The Mug
wumps are not getting any recruits, and
some who bolted Blaine have since voted
the Republican State ticket in Massachu-
sets.
The Mugwumps in 1884 demanded civil
service reform. but said they did not favor
free trade, but now they are fee traders.
The Mugwump free traders of Massachu-
sets are chiefly professional men, young
lawyers who h I'VE been graduated quite re-

clerks in the banks and offices and only
