REFUSES TO LOAN THE FLAG.
A Hoggish New Yorker Makes
BaltimOreans Mad.

BALTIMORE. Nd, Aug. 24.-There is
much Indignation felt in this city
among the promoters of the big display
next month, against Eben Appleton, of
No. II East Fifty-fourth street, New
York. Mr.. Appleton is the possessor
of the flag which floted over Fort Nc
Henry in September, 1914, when the
British invaders bombarded the
fort and were ignominiously driven
from the waters of the Chesapeake.
1t is the same flag that inspired in
raneis Scott Key that genuine burst Of
patriotism, "The Star Spangled Ban
ner." as he caught sight of it through
the morning mist from the deck Of
British vessel, OH which he was de-
tanned prisoner, still waving over the
fort. On Sept. II next, there will bea
grand celebration here of the repulse of
the British. There will be a mimic
bombardment and defense of the fort,
in which several United States war
ships will be engaged. The celebration,
it was thought, would not be
complete without the presence OF
the original flag, but the most
potent influences fail to induce MIR.
Appleton to allow it to come to Balti-
more. There is strong talk now of call
ing the attention of the secretary of war
to the matter. 1t is claimed that Apple
ton had no right to the flag; that it was
made by the ladies of Baltimore and
presented to Fort McHenry as the gar
rison flag, and, therefore, properly be-
lonns to the United States government.
1t came into Appleton's hands through
a line of descent from Col. George
Armistead, who commanded at Fort
McHenry during the bombardment.
After the conflict Col. Armistead took
personal possession of the flag.

actual name of the young fellow who,
under the name of Georgs Dunning, IS

for millionaire's daughter, is Elm

cago printer, died four years ago, leav-
ing a widow, seven daughters and two
sons. Upon the earnings of Ernest the
family were dependent after the death
of the father, until the boy went to the
penitentiary. Since then the family's
existence has been maintained only by
a severe struggle. The mother was

further that the millIonaire'S daughter

being in the penitentiary, and wanted
the mother to write him how much she
thought of him, and how much she
would help him when he got out. The

HOPELESS AND DISTRESSING.
Such Is the Situation of Illinois
Coal Miners

CHICAGO, Aug. 24.-Judge Gould and
DR.. Fred Fl. Wines, appointed by Gov.
Fifer as commission to Investigate and
report upon the Northern Illinois min
ers' troubles, have presented volumin-
Gus report to the governor. The gen.
tlemen find that it is impossible for the
miners to subsist upon the wages offered
by the operators, but decline to state
any conviction that the present market
and controlling conditions will justify
the operators in offering a higher
rate of wages. They state that
the facility with which coal
can be worked in Southern
Illinois places the Northern Illinois
mines under a decided disadvantage in
the matter of output and wages. In
report of $4,000 words, the commission
fails to recommend any panacea for eX-
isting troubles and concludes with the
reflection that the situation is as hope
less as it is distressing.
AN ADDED MISFORTUNE.
STREAToR, ILL.,, Aug. 24.-An added
misfortune befell the striking min
ers this evening when fire de-
stroyed the stock of provisions
sent here from abroad for their
relief. The supplies were stored
in an old building. About FIVE tons of
flour, besides other provisions, were in
the building. Many people claim that
the fire was of incendiary origin, and
assign dissatisfaction with the method
of distributing the relief as motive for
the deed.

the Company's General
Creditors.
Liabilities in Excess Of As
sets, but Exact Figures
Not Known.

1t was a matter of extreme surprise to
The few who last night heard the rumor
that the well-known and heavy carriage
firm, the j. 81. Mailer company, had
been crowded to the wall and was about
to make an assignment. As nearly as
could be traced, the rumor started with
the cashier of a leading bank
which held little of the
Mailer company's paper, who said he
learned the company was in distress
through the failure of collections, but
had no idea of the gravity of the situa-
ton. But very few persons knew
of the financial difficulty last even
ing, as it came upon the COM
pany very suddenly, and it will
be a general commercial surprise
and regret when the announcement is
made that late last night deed of as
signment was executed, in which John
l.. Macdonald, late member of con-
gress and now a practicing attorney in
this city, was named assignee.
1t was impossible to learn, last night,
of the exact situation of the cohpany's
affairs, but the belief was that the fail
ure was quite heavy one, but would
involve no one else. The company is
located at from 361 to 375 East Third
street, and did an extensive and-it was
hnlinTynA 1nnr0fiun inlNhiTlo
business. The officers of the company
are J. H. Mailer. president; L. B. Clark,
vice president, and II. NJ. Miller, secre-
taTy.
j. II. Mailer, president of the COM
pany, was seen at his residence last
night, but could give little information
as to the liabilities and probable
assets of! the embarrassed com
pany. 1.-The assignment" he said
twas precipitated by an action brought
in the district court by F. L. Elms,
Michigan carriage manufacturer, to re-
cover 81, ,450. IAN unjust Judgment"
as Mr.. Mailer expressed it, was abou
to be rendered, and to avoid
giving Mr.. Elms a preference over
the company's other creditors an
assignment was hastily made last night
to Judge Macdonald. The company's
liabilities, Mr.. Mailer said, are large,
and will exceed the available assets.
The past season has been a very
bad one for the company, and their
affairs had reached such state that an
assignment was almost inevitable,
though it could probably have been
aYerted for several months but for the
Elms suit, as many of the creditors were
not inclined to push them.
II. c. Miller, secretary of the COM
pany, was also called upon, but stated
that he could give no information con-
cerning the firms embarrassment. The
assets and liabilities, he said, have not
been fully scheduled, and it was i'm
possible for him to even estimate the
company's debts or its resources.

The Steamers City Of Para and
Hindoo Narrowly Escape De-
struction.
NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-The Pacific
Mail steamship City of Para, with twen-
ty-nine cabin passengers, arrived at
Sandy Hook this morning from Aspin-
wall. The combings of her forward
hatch burned and scorched are the out
ward marks of a big fire which came
very near destroying the vessel and
precious cargo. The Para left New
York the first part of this month with
full cargo of merchandise. Shereached
Aspinwall in due season, and the long
shoremen and railers had discharged
total of $50 tons of cargo from the hold
when fire was discovered among the
cotton and naval stores which were
slowed in the forward compartment.
This was on the evening of the
18th of August, two days after
the vessels arrival. The fire had COM
plete control of the fore hold when dis
covered, and before the alarm could be
sounded great sheets of fame and vol
umes of binding smoke filled the air
oyer the forward part OF the craft. The
flames attracted the attention of the
ancient fire department of Aspinwall,
which turned out, and, with number
of American laborerS about the dock,
set TO work to assist the people of the
steamship in extinguishing the flames.
AN through the night of the 18th the
men toiled, several falling exhausted as
morning came Oil from overwork. The
18th opened with the fire still burning
:iercely, and towards noon of that day
If looked as if the steamer was doomed.
During tine afternoon of the 18th the
flames went down as suddenly as they
began, and at o'clock Capt. Lockwood,
the skipper of the ship, reported the
fire extinguished. A very considerable e

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 24.-The

On July the Sapphire entered the
closed ocean and made the first catch
of seals five days afterward. On July
% the Annie G. Moore was spoken, with
600 skins aboard and all well. On the
30th the Sapphire came in sight of the
Maggie Mas, and Capt. Dodd Informed
him that on the 29th the Maggie Mac
had been boarded by Liet. Tuttle. of the
cutter Rush, who told of the capture of
the Black Diamond and the Minnie,
and of the latter's being towed to Ouna-
laska on the oath and laid up there.
Capt. Dodd's assurance that he had cap
tured his seals at Copper island, on the
other side, seemed to satisfy Lieut..
Tuttle and he left. The lieutenant.
pointing to two specks in the dis
tance, as he was descending
the gangway, remarked to Dodd
that they were the schooners Mollie
Adams and Mary Ellen which he was
going to "nip in the act" The Maggie
Mac got out of reach of the Rush as
soon as possible. having seen the cutter
standing down on the seemingly unsus-

while on board the Maggie, schooner

phire again escaped capture. On the

TEXANS ARE EXCITED.
They Protest Against the Exclu.
sion of Mexican Ores.


EAGLE PASS. Tex, Aug. 24-At a
meeting tonight of citizens of Eagle
Pass, participated in by Republi-
cans and Democrats alike, and pre-
sided over by the mayor of the city. the
following resolutions protesting against
the exclusion of Mexican lead-bearing
ores were unanimously adopted amid
much enthusiasm:
Whereas, The recent ruling of the secretary
Of the treasury arbitrarily increasing the
value of lead in silver lead ores imported
into Mexico has caused that industry and
the fruits thereof accruing to the citizens OF
Eagle Pass to be thing OF the past, as since
that ruling not one car of ore has been i'm
ported at this port, while some 10000 tons
were imported during the six months I'M
mediately preceding that ruling; and
Whereas, The exclusion of these silver
lead ores has extinguished the industries,
actual and prospective, Of the Mexican from
tier, namely: The handling and smelling of
Mexican ores, naturally reducing the volume
OF the frontier trade, which largely depended
upon the railway engaged in the transporta-
ton of these ores, and upon supplying the
American and native miners in Mexico;
and,
Whereas, This arbitrary ruling in exclud-
ing these silver lead ores, threatens to curtail
our import trade with Mexico, thus depriv-
ing the Mexicans of the means of paying for
our exports and exciting retaliatOry measures
on the part Of the Mexican government,
against the expectation OF cattle from Texas,
an industry in which the people of the from
tier are so deeply interested; and
Whereas, 1ncalculable injury has already
been done to American industries in Mexico,
both by the putting down of hundreds Of
mines in which our own citizens have in
good faith invested their capital-in some
cases their possessions by cutting off
from Mexican railways owned and operated
by Americans their chief article of freights:
and
Whereas, 1t is proposed to induce congress
to make this ruinous exclusion Of Mexican
lead and silver ores permanent and absolute.
Here follow resolutions of which the
premises are laid in the foregoing pre-
amble. Earnest protest is made against
the provisions Of Secretary WINDOWS
circular as to lead and silver ores, and
aid of all interested is besought. Con-
gresS and the sense of Justice in the
American people is invoked to prevent
destruction of means of livelihood to
those who protest thus. Wholesale firms
North and East are implored to exert
influence. Copies of the resolutions
are to be sent to Secretary Window and
all senators and congressman. A stand
ing committee was appointed to confer
with delegates from other cities inter-
ested with view to joint action toward
securing the withdrawal of the circular.
A resolution favOring customs union
of all American nations, and calling
upon the Texas congressman to advo-
cate such a union in congress was
adonted.

it will be prudent, and necessary per-
hapS, to keep a United States man-Of-
