New YORK, Dec. 12.--In connection with

day night to call on Speaker Crisp for q
speech, It might be added that Anderson,
Charles Fairchild and Mcfarland OF the
Reform club knew I'm advance that Crisp
expected 10 be called upon and had .
speech prepared. Anderson was SO in
formed by an associated press represen-
tative. He expressed some surprise, but
said he was very glad to hear It. as Crisp's
was sure TO be nm interesting speech. Nc
Farland, who had tho distribution of
tickets in charge. was seen at the Office of
the Reform club Saturday before noon
and was told b. an associated press re-
porter that typewriter copies OF Crisp's
speech had already been sent out to the
papers. He remarked he supposed Crisp
would take tho place ON the programme OF
Morrison. who was unable 10 be present.
Shortly afterwards Fairchild was seen by
Q reporter who said Crisp's speech had
been received by the associated press.

As the morning papers to-day confirmed
the previous reports Of tho slight imposed

impression that II was intentional aud de-

The Board of Control Unable to Meet in
This City.
The California Worlds Fair Commission
yesterday received a letter from Chicago
signed by all the members of the Board of
Control aud Reference. acknowledging the
receipt Of the commissions invitation to
hold a meeting in San Francisco.
The board says that nothing would give
its members greater pleasure than visit to
California, which has from the start taken a
leading position on every question looking to
the promotion and ultimate success of the
exposition" butts afraid the time necessary
for trip from Chicago to San Francisco
could not be spared by the members, who
are all business men.
The letter bears the signatures of It. W.

Graham Denies Charge of Doing Away
With a Grand Jury Report.
Ever since those ladies who are men,
5ers of the order Known as the Daughters
Of the Good Shepherd commenced making
charges against the conduct of the found
ling asylum they have shown a wonderful
amount of patient determination in prose
cutting their object and substantating what
have been described as their exaggerated
historical statements" and this notwith-
standing the innumerable obstacles placed
in their path.
Failing TO secure the conviction of DR..
Charles Burrell in the Police Court, they
laid their charges before the Wallace Grand
Jury, and the committee appointed by that
august body, il is said, made q report in
dorsing the accusations Of the ladies.
Naturally they wanted this report either
published or laid before the new Grand
jury. Their present trouble is that il is
nowhere TO be found. Further than this
they assert that Jeremiah Lynch, a late
juryman, stated 10 them that Irvine Ora
ham had taken the document from the
Sheriifs Office and made away with il, and
that Under Sheriff Deveny could substan-
tiate this assertion. Both Graham and
Deveny deny any knowledge of the where
abouts Of tie report. Now Lynch asserts
that the ladies have exaggerated his state
ment and that he only said that he surmised
that Graham had taken the document.
Graham laughs at the idea of Lynch having
anything to say about tie matter at all, as
he was only an ordinary juryman aud not an
officer. Meanwhile the ladies feel very ag-
QrIeYed.

M EXICAN WAR FLAGS.
The Veteran Association's Genera


Action.
AT the last meeting Of the California As
sOclation of Veterans OF the Mexican War,
Colonel A. Andrews presiding, it was de-
cided by q unanimous vote to recommend
that Congress return to the Mexican Gov
eminent the battle-fags captured during
the war of 1896
The question was brought up when
Colonel Andrews some months ago wrote a
letter to the Secretary of War inauiring
whether the department had any such flags
In lis possession. A negative reply was re-
turned, but 1t turned out on subsequent
investigation that a number Of these relies
were slowed away in the War Museum at
Washington. 1t was then suggested that it
would be graceful compliment to the sister
republic and clean wiplng off OF old
scores II the flags we're returned. The vet
Grams secured the interest and attention of
General Denver, President OF the National
Association. and he promptly Temiited the
matter to Congress. which will doubtless
take favorable action.
Of the 30, GOO volunteers who took part In
the war quite number came to California.
and there are 100 members of the Veteran
Associates 10 this city alone. Then there are
many more who are not members OF the
association, but who heartily indorse its ac-
ton IN the matter. The same remark ap.
plies to veterans all over the State.
The case stands just this way" said ".
I. Burnett, himself a veteran, to a CALL
reporter yesterday. when the agitation
arose for the return Of the Confederate
battle-hags during the Cleveland admins
tratl0u. the members of the Grand Army
OF the Republic raised the natural aud valid
objection that there was no one to return
the flags 10. The Confederacy had ceased
10 exist; the survivors had become men,
6ers Of common and united country
The flags, if returned, could at best
only keep up the spirit of sec
tionalism in the rising generation.
But In the case of these Mexican war-flags
there is really nothing TO prevent their be-
ing returned. The two countries are on the
best possible terms. The issue can never
be raised again, and the survivors OF the
Mexican regiments have no reason to feel
ashamed of the tattered flags, beneath
which brave men went 10 their death Be-
to the losing regiment, for it often happens
that i've or six men are struck down around
the colors, and then the latter are easily
captured In rush. 1t is quite different
with ships-ofwar or artillery. They repre-
sent property and are generally retained
by The c0nluerOrs. When the artillery be-
comes antiquated and useless the gus still
serve as object lessons to our cadets at West
Point, Annapolis and elsewhere But the
flags, in this particular Instance, are simply
mementOs OF a war which would be best
forgotten in both of the sister republics. L
am glad to hear the banners are likely to go
back and. from all | can learn, there is not
a single member Of the Veterans Associa-
tiOn who does not think the same way"
