FLAG BILL VETOED.


Governor Flowers Remarks on the Dis
play of Foreign Emhlems.
Albany, May a6.-In vetoing the bill to
prevent the display of foreign flags and
emblcms on public buildings. Governor
Flower. indulRed in these observations:
1T is questionable sort of patriotism
which seeks the enactment Of such bill
as this. II the measure were approved it
would be unlawful hereafter to display the
flag OF emblem of any foreign country
upon any state, county, town or munich
pal building except upon the occasion of
a foreigners becoming a guest of the
United States, the state, or of any city,
and then only upon the proclamation of
governor or of a mayor. America is
big and broad and free in its political toll
Grafton as we'll as in its territory, and
such proposed legislation as this makes
it seem small and narrow and clannish.
"If American patriotism is of such weak
stamina that it can be allured by the dis
play of foreign bunting, legislation like
this cannot save it from speedy and utter
ruin. Iprefer to think that love for our
country is of a deeper and stronger char
acter, a love that is generous and tolerant,
but is of unquestioned loyalty in times of
real danger Let us not restrict the dis
play of bunting on gala days; let us hoist
the flags of all nations, but above all 9TH
ers let the stars and stripes float triumph
ant, and thus in our display of colors and
ernblems we shall best symbolic the
varied yet harmonious character of our
population"

A Startling Contrast.

Two chorus girls came out of the stage
door of Palmer's theater one evening.
One was covered with satins and laces,
and the diamonds which adorned her
little pink ears made the electric lights
ashamed Of themselves. She slammed
the old wooden door with a naughty air
and waved pretty white gloved hand
Her coachman was quick to see his sig
nal, and private victoria was soon be-
side the young woman. The driver got
his orders in q low tone, and the carriage
was whirled away. The other chorus
girl was pale, thin and actually looked
hungry. "A cheap dress, evidently de-
signed and made by its wearer, and a
winter hat formed part Of her costume.
A bundle Of sewing in her hand proved
that she wasted no time between the
acts.
While waiting for o car she counted
the few pennies in her possession. She
looked at an approaching car and at her
bit Of money, then resolved to walk.
Manager E. E. Rice and friend had
been standing near the stage door.
"What remarkable contrast in the two
pictures!" said the friend. ''Both receive
the same salary" explained the man
ager as he shrugged his shoulders, ''but
it's the old story-the first one saves her
money and the other doesn't.

woman's Fight for suffrage.

ALBANY, May 26-The meeting of a con-
stitutional convention for this state is an
opportunity to advance their cause that
the woman suffragists were sure not to
miss, and the convention is in receipt of
reams of arguments from all the heavy
guns OF the suffrage movement in favor of
leaving the word male" out OF the con-
stitutional provision describing voter.
On the other hand there are reams of ar
guments on the other side signed by UGH
men as DR.. Parkhurst. DIR. Rylance and
others equally well known. But the
antagonistic move that Mrs. Staunton and
her suffrage friends will find hardest to
combat is that of large number of soci-
ETY. women of New York city. who have
organized to tell the constitutional con-
vention that if woman attends to the bust
hess for which she is best fitted she will
have no time to attend the polls or mix
up in politics in auy way.

Found Another Hidden CITY.

MAPINI, Mex, May a6.-The American
psychologists, who went recently to the
newly discovered city in the Sierra Madre
mountains, have returned and tell of an
other hidden city five Spanish leagues
north of the first city. The leader of the
party, c. W. Pantion of Philadelphia
states tnat these cities were evidently twin
capitals Of wealthy district long before
the AZtecs. The two cities are connected
by underground passages hewn out of
solid rock and it was while exploring one
of these passages that the second city was

CRrprLE CREEK, Colo. May 26.-Eleven
men killed, with q strong probability that
the number of dead will be increased
when all is known, is the record of the
first day of trouble here, although real
fighting has not yet begun, as the depu-
ties are awaiting reinforcements before
beginning active operations. At 10 o'clock
yesterday morning eleven men started to
work in the Strong mine. on Battle noun
tain. Shortly afterward large party Of
strikers blew up the shaft house with
powder, causing loss Of SIS, coo, and then
dropped 1OO pounds of giant powder
down the shaft, which was also exploded,
killing all the inmates. Not more than
800 yards from the Strong shaft house
sixteen men who had been engaged to go
to work in the Independence mine were
surrounded in their bunk house and after
n long parley agreed to surrender.
A Desperate Battle Expected.
Each one was armed with a rifle and a
brace of revolvers: the arms are now in
the possession of the strikers. 1t is
rumored that the strikers attacked the
Anna Lee mine. overpowering the guards,
after which they blew up the shaft house,
but the rumor has not been verified.
When the deputies are finally massed and
the two forces come together a most
desperate battle will be doubtless fought.
The situation ut o'clock last evening was
one of the most painful anxiety. Not a
few believe that the town will be a
smoulding mass by another sunset if the
strikers are not restrained. At Victor.
six miles away. where fully 1000 people
reside, a reign Of terror exists. Within a
half mile of the corporation limits of the
town all day long fully 800 union miners
armed with rifles have paraded up and
down the side of the hill.

Hut the Strikers Don't Seem Much Over
awed at LaSalle.
LASALLE, Ills, May 26.-Six companies
Of the Third regiment Illinois National
Guard, under command of Colonel Fred
Bennett are now under canvas on bluff
In the eastern part of the city, and their
presence seems to be having a salutary
effect on the turbulent striking miners.
There was another serious outbreak when
o number Of miners went to the LaSalle
carbon shaft, mobbec the engineer and
made him leave the engine room. threat
ening him with assault if he returned.
This was before the arrival of the militia.
The miners held a meeting in Turner
hall and speeches were made by General
Orendorf, Mayor Matthiessen and Hon.
David Ross. who counselled the men to be
calm and orderly. There was afterwards
u ''closed" meeting at which only miners
were present. The speeches and actions
were then Of a very vicious and incendiary
character and it looked for some time as
IL there might be another riot, but finally
the cooler headed persuaded them to be
quiet. The thing that is now irritating
the strikers is the detention of two of the
rioters in the Ottawa Jail, and if the men
are not given q speedy trial there will be
serious trouble.
A fracas occurred in the northern part
of the city when number of strikers Sc
verely beat and kicked Polish miner
named Birkowski, whom they accused of
beinga spy. The man is very seriously
injured and late reports from the physi-
clans are that he il likely to die from the
effects Of his injuries. The only thing that
saved the man from being killed on the
spot was the Interference of several wom-
en-, who persuaded the Infatuated men to
stop their onslaught.
The only trouble at the military camp
so far was slight collision between the
crowd and pickets. The mob was closing
in around the soldiers and it was neces-
sary to drive them back at the point Of
the bayonet. One man, named Meisen-
bach, became very abusive and received q
prod with a bayonet, being subsequently,
taken to the guardhouse. The attitude of
many Of the more unruly strikers is very
threatening, and trouble may be looked
for any time

New Situation at Lcavenwor,h.

LEAvESwoHTH, kas., May a6.-Among
laboring classes there is now a decided re-
action from treatment of the mob Of Mis-
souri, miners who came here to force the
works here to close. The Trades and
Labor assembly held a conference with
the men in camp and promised them pro-
lection and aid in case they desired to re-
sumo what they call their peaceful mis-
sion. The miners of the Home and Kansas
and Texas shafts have caught the spirit
and there is every reason to believe they
will so out in spite of the action of citi-
zens to protect and support them.

maze ample preparations for the same,
and should the strikers come to Ottawa
the strike will end there and then. OFF,
GERS have been stationed on all the roads
leading to Ottawa armed with shotguns
and Winchester rifles, acting in the ca
pacity of pickets. The whole town is pre-
pared for a skirmish and should the min.
ers come they will be cut down in short
order.
The miners of Oglesby visited Split Rock
shaft, owned by Dick s. Gorbett, at Utica,
and destroyed several hundred dollars
worth OF property. They are expected
here at any minute.
