The Confederate Flag.


Speaking of Gen. Johnston, l am re-
minded of the explanation he once gave
me OF the origin of the Confederate bat
tie flag: AT the battle of Bull Run.
said he, "the stars and bars proved q
failure because they were so much like
the Union colors. Indeed. both armies
nIstook their enemies for friends. and
vice versa. After the battle resolved 10
discard this flag and called for each regi-
rnent 10 procure its state colors. This
they were not able 10 do. and | asked the
army for new designs. Among those pre-
scented. one by Gen. Beauregard was
chosen, and / altered this only in max
ing II square instead of oblong This
flag was afterwards adopted by the Con-
federate armies generally. 1t was a
Greek cross Of blue on a red field. With
white stars on the blue stars" This flag.
by the way, was designed by a Col. Wal
ton. of Louisiana. and by him presented
TO Gen. Beauregard.

TRIAL OF DR.. HERRING.
The Specific Charge is the Burning
of the Yacht MohiCan for
Insurance.

London, Nov. 1.-The hearing of the
suit of Dr. w. Conyers Herring of New
York to recover $4,000 insurance on
the American schooner yacht Mohican,
destroyed by fire last March at Shore
ham. Eng, was continued today. The
evidence showed that the Mohican was
seaWorthy and of more value than the
price DR.. Herring paid for her.
The witness swore that most Of his
books and papers were burned and that
he was therefore unable to furnish the
court with certain dates and facts asked
for He denied that after leaving the
Yacht on the eve of March { last, the
date of the fire which destroyed the Mo
hican. he returned to her and was alone
ON board for several minutes. The man
ner Of DR. Herring while on the stand
was painfully nervous. Letitia Ihomp-
son and Mrs. Herring were present ia
court during today's proceedings.
Dr. Herring denied that he only pos
sessed $500 when he left New York,
and claimed that he had securities pro-
ducing from $4,000 to $500 per year.
It was not true, he continued, that he
had induced Letitia Thompson to come
to England. On the contrary, the wit
ness said he tried to dissuade her from
so doing. But she had taken a liking to
Mrs. Herring, was much pleased at the
prospect of voyage and was not we'll
treated by her mother, according to the
girls statement. The doctor also said
during his cross examination that he did
not interfere with the Mohican after she
caught fire and was burned.
Letitia Thompson, bright looking,
comedy girl, was the next witness. She
was examined at length as to her con-
nection with DR. Herring and Mrs. Herr
ing, and was especially questioned re-
garding some alleged discrepancies be-
tween her statements made today and
her statements made when testimony
was taken in the preliminary suit to re-
cover the insurance money on the schoon-
er-yacht, at which time Miss Thompson
testified that she put out the fires on the
yacht. locked the doors and closed the
port holes before leaving the Mohican
the night of March Z. She explained
these discrepancies by saying she made
mistakes when first examined. She
caused much merriment by her ingenious
answers. The latter, however, caused
many legal bubbles among the lawyers,
each side trying to turn her answers to
the advantage of their clients.
The court was densely crowded
throughout the day. as much interest is
taken in the case, not only from the deli
cate question of insurance which is in
volved, but in view of the fact that
many romantic episodes have been
brought into the suit.

TURKS AT FAULT.
Provoked by Armenians-Fresh
Outbreaks Reported.

Constantinople, Nov. 6.-Independent
reports received here from Armenia do
not confirm the official statement that the
Armenians provoked the different dis
turbances which have taken place there.
At Erzeroum alone the bodies of 32O Ar
menianS have been found and only the
corpses of six Turks were among them.
Fresh disturbances are reported to
have broken out at Adana, capital of the
village of that name.
According to the most recent reports
circulated, Kiamil Pasha will be re-
placed as grand vizer by Said Pasha,
former grand vizer and now minister for
foreign affairs, and the latter will be
succeeded by Twek Pasha, the Turkish

Measures for the restoration of order be

The representatives of the powers de-
clared that otherwise the powers acting
in concert will take their own steps in
the matter and the Turkish minister for
foreign affairs, Said Pasha, was request
ed to state what steps the Porte intends
to take in order to terminate the present
state of anarchy.
No definite reply on this subject has
been received, although the ambassadors
were assured that everything possible
would be done to restore order.

Mrs. Harger knows little of her hus-
