RIGHTS OF THE FLAG.
An American Not Allowed to Unfurl 1t
In the Congo.

ia the Congo.
INDIANAPOLIS, March 29-Carl Steck-
Gilman. an American citizen, VINO has been
in the Congo region of Africa for several
years, writes to friends here that he is in
trouble with the French. His letter is
written from Maynumba. He maintains
that under the Berlin treaty he has the
right to display the American flag over his
house and over his boats. The French, he
says, will not permit him to display the
flag. He asks that Secretary Greshams
attention be called to the treatment he is
receiving. He says the French are becom-
ing unbearable in the conventional basin
of the Congo"
Gilman says, was to order all American
flags down on land. About the first OF the
year they directed that the stars and
stripes should not be displayed over boats.
In the course of his letter Mr.. Steckel-
man says: Il ask you to make necessary
inquiries from the home government as
to what rights I have in the conventional
basin of the Congo. and if l put up my
flag what shall / do if 1 am ordered to
take it down? Will the government assist
me when the French arrest me for hoist
ing a flag in a district where l nave
right to do so under the Berlin treaty 10
what consul commander of boat snail
I apply for aid? Such a state OF things
Is simply unbearable.
Il inclose few paragraphs of the Berlin
treaty. In making inquiry, be particular
ask if this treaty gives me also the right
to display the stars and stripes over my
house and land, and if I'M permitted TO
hoist my flag when travelling in canoe
bought from natives, or oyer1a boat bought
in Europe" IL
MIR. Steckelman quotes the following
paragraph from the Berlin treaty:
"All flags, without distinctian OF NATIONAL
ity, shall have free access to the whole OF
I,,n of fLo -fnrR
enumerated, to the rivers there running
into the sea. to all the waters of the Congo
and its tributaries. including the lakes, and
to all the ports situated on. the banks OF
these waters, as well as to all canals which
may in future be constructed with intent
to unite the water courses or lakes within
the entire area of the territories described
in article 1. Those trading under such flag
may engage in all sorts of transport and
carry on the coasting trade by sea and
river, as well as boat traffic on the same
footing as if they were subjects
Friends here will refer Mr.. Steckelman's
complaint to Mr.. Gresham.

sively that Ailsa will be a good boat in a
fresh wind and a sea when thoroughly fit
for racing. The contest between the two
cutters today was one of the finest races

terly style, and the result forms a reliable
test of the two racers, as the advantage
gained was about evenly balanced.
