General Grant none are so well known Us
james q. Blaine and William Mckinley.
They seem TO oregard Mckinley as IA man
who has been studying up economic
subjects and invented new scheme by
which to close up the factories Of
Europe. and starve the people into sub
mission to the American government.
They piled me with questions as to
Mckinley, and tried to get an ex preston
as to the nature OF the man, and what
he is going to do with all the people
abroad. | replied that my notion
OF Mr.. Mckinney was that possibly he
had an idea of inducing them 10 migrate
with all their factories and workmen to
lie great American country, and thus
hep give greater consuming power to
the agricultural products. lnasmuch as
some of the great governments abroad
had taken notion that they did not
want To be on familiar terms with the
American hog, the best they could do
was to increase the consuming capacity

HONORED COLORS,
Historical Flag OF tho Fourth In
nntry.


CGUR D'ALESE CITY, Sept. 13.-Some
time since an Eastern magazine con-
tained an article giving an account OF
the accidental discovery in the British
Museum of regimsntal color of the
Fourth United States infantry which
had fallen into the hands of the English
at the time of the surrender of Detroit
by General Hull. This article was re-
called by an interesting visit to the flag
room of the Fourth Infantry ut Fort
Sherman the other day. In looking
around your correspondent was shown q
color stave about nins feet long and one
and one-half inches in diameter, differ
ent In no respect from many Others, ex-
cept that IL was warped out of shape.
Attention, however, was called to tag
fastened to II, OH which wns inscribed .
Carried by Fourth United States in
fantry during the war of 1912. Nothing
further known" As far back as the
memory OF the oldest soldier in the regi-
ment carries him this staff has been
carefully guarded and preserved ut regi.
mental headquarters, almost as jealous
ly cared for as the regimentI colors
themselves. Tradition hath Ii that the
colors which were once carried on II
were stripped OIL, cut IN two and wrapped
serve IL from capture by the enemy.
But tradition, especially when filtered
through the channel of old soldiers
memories, is not To be relied upon. That
IL was carried during the time stated,
there is little doubt. IL Is relic the
regiment has reason 10 be proud of and
one they take especia pains to preserve.
While in the hagroom the writer was
shown the colors of an infantry regi.
ment. They consist of two flags, one u
national color of silk with heavy yellow
fringe, ON which is inscribed in gold
letters the names of all the battles in
which the regiment participated, from
the date of Its organization to the close
OF the war OF the rebellion. Space for
bids the publication OF the list, suffice 1t
that the entire surface of the flag except
the field is required to name them. The
second is the rcgimenlal flag, said to be
the handsomest flag In tho world.
II is six feet six inches long and six feet
wide, OF dark blue silk bordered with IA
fringe OF yellow two inches deep, with
the arms OF the United States en-
broidered in silk in the center. The
eagle ~ not a scarecrow looking thing
like that on the silver dollar, but u geI,-
uine representation of an America n
gray eagle. The embroidering Is very
skilltully done, the colors harmonize
and blend In the shading OF the feathers
with life like fidelity. Below the eagle
red scroll extends the length of the flag
on which is embroidered in white the
name and number Of the regiment. The
cords and tassels OF both colors are blue
and white silk intermixed. Regimental
flags cost the government Si2S each and
are paraded only on special occasions OF
ceremony, tho national colors beng gem
orally used for cerem onies at the post.
All officers and enlisted men are re-
quired To pay homage to the emblem of
cap in salute when passing the colors, "a
custom that should be followed by all
Americans, whether soldier or civilian.

FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.
The Body Of Portland Resident
Pound In the Willamette.

PORTLAND, Or, Sept. 1l.-This morn
ing boy discovered corpse floating in
the river at the foot of q street and noti-
fled tue coroner, who had the remains
tished out and conveyed to the morgue
There was nothing on the body to iden-
tify It, but later in the day it was recog-
nized as that of Ernest Mosier, % years
OF age, and at one time in the employ of
the Oregon Transfer Company. De-
ceased has wife and child living in this
city. Mosier had been missing since
Saturday last UP to the present time
nothing could be learned as how he
came to his death, whether by suicide or
accident. There are strong suspicious
of foul play. Mosier left his home last
Saturday night, telling his wife he was
going to get shaved. That was the last
seen of him alive. When he left home
he had quite a sum of money on his
person. When the body was taken from
the river nothing out q bunch of keys
was found in his pockets. Mrs. Mosier
thinks her husband has been foully
dealt with, and has asked for full in
yestigation of his mysterious death.

the Prowess of the Prus.
sians-The Socialists.


BERLIN, Sept i3.-The extension OF
the Triple Alliance to May, 1897, has
been accepted by Emperor William at
the request OF the Austrian govern ment.
The revised treaty increases the guaran-
tees of both Germany and Italy to sup
port Austria in the event of Russian
invasion OF the Balkans. The modlfi ca
tions of the treaty virtually confirm
Austria's possession OF Bosnia and Her
zegoyina. Somi-otioial communica--
tions in st. Petersburg papers declare
that Russian political circles are conf
dent that Emperor William in
his conference with Francis Joseph will
endeayor to prevail upon him To har-
monize his policy in the Balkans with
that OF Russia. Senior Crispi, before
agreeing to prolong tho treaty, tried to
obtain pledge from Kaldnoky that ho
would cede Italy n part of Treutino.
Emperor Williams refusal, however, to
permit the triple compact to be In any
way dependent on Italian claims, made
kalnoky more resolute In his refusal.
The Empress Augusta Victoria Is
enciente. Tho event Is to take place
early in February.

ard bearer for Montana. Tho state re-
publican convention came together
again at 10 o'clock this morning, conf.
dent that Congressman Carter would
have sent In 10y that time his accep-
tance of their denomination. The fact
that he had been nominated by accla-
nation, and had been notified that
none other would do upon his request to
unite upon some other good repub-
lican, was regarded as assurance that
lac must accept. The time of the morn
ing session WAS spent in the selection of
state central committee, and when
that work was completed, and no ac-
ceptance was at hand, q recess was taken
until noon. At that time they recon
vened, and waited an hour without re-
ceiving word.

and that 1t was only II question of time

About o'clock this afternoon, as Mr.
David Small was walking down the
north side OF Main street he was as
saulted by Samuel Keys. Jr., who, IL
seems, desired TO avenge a wrong which
he believed to have been done his father.
MIR. Small was taksn by surprise, and
the blow came near knocking him to the
sidewalk. Young Keys is powerful
man. Mr.. Small would have been Sc
verely wounded, but luckily he ragained
his equilibrium, and succeeded in ward
ing otf the next blow, which was aimed
at his face. The contestants were
separated by bystanders, neither one be-
ing hurt to any extent. At $3.50 o'clock
"a warrant was issued for the arrest OF
Keys on complaint of Small. He was
arrested and arraigned before Judge V.
Lambert on the charge of assault and
battery, and was fined $40 and costs,
which he paid. Small is q prominent
business man.
Deputy Sheriff George b. Young, of
Colfax, Whitman county, reports that
an organized band of horse thieves have
been operating in that county for some
time past, and so far the officers have
failed to capture them. Their depreda.
tlons extend over a large area Of country
extending into Spokane county and
Idaho, near tho boundary line. Young's
business in this city was to arrest Il

been offered, and whom he had traced

learned that his man had been here for
about one month, but had recently de
parted for Boise City. The commits
