THE CONFEDERATE FLAGS.
History of Their Disposition by the
War Department.
From, the Eeening Posi-.

FROM the EOeflng Post
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-If any one wishes
to know the facts connected with the boxing
up of the Confederate flags at the War De-
partment, irrespective of any political con-
Siderations, they are these: During the lat
ter part of the administration of President
Arthur. when Robert Lincoln was Secre-
tary Of War, the suggestion was made by
the officer of the War Department in
charge of the Museum" in which the flags
were placed that these relics were being
injured by sight-seers and relic-hunters,
and that, if it was deemed important to pre-
serve them, some other disposition should
be made of them 1t appears that curiosity
hunters of that vandal class which cut
away good part of the lace curtains in the
East room of the White House, even when
the guards were on duty, had selected the
little room called the Museum" at the War
Department for their field operations, and
that glass cases were sometimes found
broken, and pieces of the flags were torn OF
cut off, and some of the standards of the
flags mutilated with knives. So it was de
cided that until Congress should
make an appropriation which would pro-
vide safer location for the flags and a guard
it would be better to have them boxed.
ihe room called the ''Museum" was in no
proper sense a museum. 1t was merely
storeroom or place where the flags were
kept There was no provision made in the
appropriation bills for the care Of them. In
fact, they We're simply slowed away in a
room to which the public finally was admit
ted, because it was more convenient to dis
play them than to give special permission TO
see them. But the decision to box them
was reached in the Interest of their preser-
walton, and in the expectation that some
time Congress would provide the means by
which they could be better cared for. Some
were put III the attic, and some in the base
ment of the War Department building. 1t
is probable that the officer in charge
consulted with the Secretary of War as to
the propriety of doing this, but the subject
was not looked on as one of great import
ance. Certainly it was not the intention of
the officials to wound the susceptibilities of
any one
