honor, and also in honor OF General
Charles II. Freeman, the state depart

Grand Army leaders who were present,
while others smiled and whispered that
the general was excited. tt,
General Horatio c. King, secretary Of
the Society OF the Army Of the Potomac,
who was toasted, was believed to be in
strumental In provoking the fiery re-
marks OF General Palmer. After telling
a humorous story. General King re-
ferred to the address made by Comman-
er-in-Chief Palmer at reception held
in the early part of the evening at the
Fourteenth regiment armory. He con-
strued what General Palmer had said at
the armory as the expression of a desire
for the severance of fraternal relations
with Southern veterans, if the Confed-
crate flag was to be used upon occa-
sions where Union war veterans frater-
nized with them. In his reply to General
King, General Palmer said:
There is no class of men on Gods earth
that are half SO much appreciated for
their valor or gallantry, or that so reflect
ed credit CT American valor, and whom
we are 80 willing to forgive, as the soldier
OF the South. but we cannot forget the
loss of hundreds of millions of money and
OF the lives of hundreds of thousands OF
men who are now lying in their graves be-
cause OF the rebellion. In doing honor to
the people of the South they should not
confront us with that stinking old rag of
treason. believ that the men who were
in tine struggle In the civil war want no
more fighting, but when we listen to the
young scions who say that the Confeder-
acy is to them an inspiration and that
they will revenge the cause OF their sol
diers 1t is too much to bear in silence.
Loyalty to the stars and stripes will ever
nerve us In the cause of the Union"
A general feeling of regret prevails
among veterans that the Confederate
flag question was introduced at the ban

In q Street Car Accident.
CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-Thirteen horse
car passengers and red hot stove were
rolled head over heels in front Of q
switching engine and though the car
war reduced almost to kindling by the
locomotive and took fire from the stove,
the thirteen passengers escaped with
their lives. The accident occurred at
Ashland avenue and Fortieth street,
where the stock yards company's tracks
cross the car line at grade. The en-
gine, which was at standstill, sud-
denly started, but lucky not with great
speed, just as the car was squarely in
front of it. The car was overturned and
sent sliding along the rails, only to be
struck and turned over again and again.
Meantime the people scrambled out as
best they could through the doors and
windows, burned by the stove and live
coal and cut with splintered glass, but
miraculously having no bones broken.
Mrs. Kate Terry and babe were the
worst injured. The other victims were
Mrs. Reno and three children, Frank
Schall, J. Slain, John Marshall, Mrs.
Daley. Mrs. O'Neill, Anthony King and
James Kennedy. 1t is said the engineer
and fireman were under the influence of

AA armed Rebellion In the Hawaiian
Islands . Probability.
Dan FRANCISCO, Nov. 2S.-The feeling
Of uneasiness among the Hawaiians and
the consequent alarm of the white resi-.
dents are believed to be the reasons for
the summary orders sent to the Charles
ton to leave China station and proceed
forthwith to Honolulu.
Wilcox and Boyd, two professional
revolution makers Of Hawaii, are ut il
again, said Honolulu resident who
has just arrived here. They have a
well grounded feeling of discomfort to
work on, and although an election
comes of inside of three months, no one
would be surprised were an armed re-
bellion in full force at the time. The
Hawaiian government has practically no
army, and the queen looks to the pres.
ouce OF foreign men-of-war for the
preservation Of peace. American senti.
ment is growing coutinnally on the
islands. American residents are not
attempting to do missionary work, but
the natives finding trade. relations with
the United States intolerable, are rap.
idly coming to the conclusion that the
only way to gain market for their
products is to become part of the
United States.
