How 1t In to He Arranged to 40.
eOmmOdate One for Utah.
Secretaries Lamont and Herbert have
reached an agreement ss to the rearrange-
ment of the stars Of the union of the
United States flag. made necessary by the
addition of another star as this representa-
tive Of the new state of Utah. The ar
Iangement having received the approval of
the President was made public today. Un-
der the existing arrangement there are six
rows of stars. the top and bottom rows
each containing eight stars and the four
Intervening rows seven stars each. The
lines are horizontal from left to right and
run obliquely from top to bottom. Two
changes have been made In this arrange
ment in order to meet the present and DOS.
slole future necessities. The end star in
the bottom row Is placed at the beginning
OF the NTH row. and the extra star re-
CURED for the last state admitted to the
Union Is placed at the left or beginning of
the third row.
The effect of these changes Is that the
first, third and fifth rows contain EIGHT
stars each, and the second. fourth
and sixth rows contain seven stara
each. making forty five in all the
horizontal lines across the union from left
to right and the oblique lines from top to
bottom are retained in the new flag. The
three additional stars that may eventually
be required for the territories of New
Mexico. Arizona and Oklahoma, can be
placed at the, end of the second, fourth and
sixth rows, respectively. without requiring
any further change in the design now
adopted

Killeen'A Chances Improving.
. The chances..of bfr. George Kilieen being
chosen as a delegate to the Chicago con-
vention are i1sproving, and within the past
twenty-four .hogrs his name appears to
have been taken out of the possible and
placed on TIA probable list. While his
strength in the.-northeast and southeast
was admitted he has developed a great
deal also IN. Georgetown. where he is
coupled now with Mr.. Edwin Forrest in the
general gossip, and is openly urged for a
place on the "straight-out" ticket Keen
observers are now figuring, therefore, that
the ticket sent to Chicago will consist of
Chairman Holmead Iehn Boyle, Edwin
Forrest, Robert Mattingly, Frank p Nor
gan and George Killeen. 1t will be seen
that in this consideration they leave Mr..
p. L. Jordan out of the race. They base
their conclusions in this respect on. the
declaration that Mr. Jordan is being an

party men. 1t remains to pc seen however.

FAY OR MERTENS?
State Department Anxious to Know
Which Was the Victim at Valencia.

State Department Anxious to Know
Which Was the Victim at Valencia.
In the absence-of direct information on
the subject; the officials of the State De-
partment afe scthewhat puzzled as to the
identity of the; United States consular rep
resentative AT Valencia. who was the VIC
tim of the, recent riotous demonstra tion
on the part Of Spanish students.
The uncertainty in the matter results
from the fact that this country has no
consular representative accredited to Va
1encia, and has bad none for several years.
The nearest representative Of the United
States to Valencia Is Consular Agent Theo-
dore Mertens, accredited 10 Grao, the port
Of Valencia, and about four miles from that
city. This Office is In the consular district
Of Denia, where Andrew F. Fay represents
the United States as consul. Some time
ago Mr.. Fay intimated that he would pre-
fer to live In Valencia, rather than at De-
MIA, but If he changed hts residence he ap-
pears to have failed to notify. the depart
ment. It is, therefore, uncertain whether
1t was Mr.. Mertens' house or that of Mr..
Fay that was attacked by riotous Valen-
clans.
It is believed. however, that 1t was more
apt to have been that of Mr.. Mertens.
Mr.. -Mertens Is an Austrian by birth and a
Spaniard by adoption. His appointment. in
preference to that Of an American: Is
mainly due to the fact that the Office does
not pay much over 800 q year, and has no
attractions for office seekers on this side Of
the ocean.

TERRIBLY BURNED,
Mrs. Jane LanEhOrn Meets With q
Serious Accident.

Mrs. Jane LanghOrn Meets With q
Serious Accident.
Mrs. Jane Langhorn, a colored woman,
whose home Is at No. 20G2 Vermont avenue,
met with a serious and probably fatal ac-
cident this morning about 10 o'clock while
attending to her household duties. A gaso-
line stove exploded, and before Mrs. Lang
horn could get away from the stove she
was enveloped in flames SO badly was she
burned that she lost consciousness, and
could not tell how the affair happened. It
Is thought. however. that she was proba-
bly, filling the tank while the burner was
lighted as so many explosions are caused
In this way.
Her agonizing screams attracted neigh
oors, and 1t was only after she had been
oadly burned about the head and body that
her clothes were taken from her. A police
man who was called to the house realized
the serious condition of the unfort unate
woman. and he sent in a call for an am
bulance.
The ambulance from Freedman's Hos
pttal lost no time in reaching the house
and In few minutes the badly burned
woman was in the hospital under treat
ment. The physicians found that she had
received severe burns about the head and
body and probably inhaled the flame.
Everything possible was done for the
patient, who did not seem to rally nuch
from the shock, and this afternoon her
condition was regarded as extremely crit
fcal.

Coffin Bolts the Ticket.

Yesterdays Examiner contains the
following interesting communication;
"a RETURN TO HONEST MONEY"
(Trenmor Coffin has for years been
identified with the dominant party in
the longtime solid Republican State
of Nevada. He is the Charm. an of
the Republican State Central Commit
tee, and his declaration Of indepen-
dence will be followed by most Of the
prominent Republicans in the State.)
Carson, July 81. w. R. Hearst,
''The Examiner" San Francisco:
Since the Democratic Convention at
Chicago has adopted a platform and
nominated a weli-known free coinage
man for President, I do not seq how
free coinage men who are honestly in
earnest in their advocacy Of the free
coinage of silver at the ratio Of 16 to l
Of gold can do otherwise in the coming
election than support the national
Democratic ticket.
Such a platform and such a candi-
date should have a fair chance OF win
ming, but ven if they be unsuccessful
the ticket will disclose such an enor-
nous gain in the silver sentiment
amongrhe masses Of the people Of the
United States that the free-coinage
question will have to be reckoned with
henceforth.
If Mckinley and the high protect
i've idea should prevail. the tariff
question will be disposed Of and the
free coinage Of silver will, without
question, be the parsmont issue in the
next general election.
I have for years held myself in
readiness to leave the Republican
party when ally other national party
should give greater promise or return
to honest money OF our fathers-silver
and gold at the ratio Of 16 to /.

Justic e Court.

The argument in the case Of Regau
In the Justice Court came up yes
day morning.
All Chartz represented Regan and
made q very able argument, showing
that Regan had acted as a matter Of
s~elf-defense, as his life had been
threatened by Clarity, and at the time
Of the shooting that the defendant had
been approached by Clarity in a
threatening manner.
Judge Hawthorne stated that there
had evidently been a law broken and
held Regan in $500 bonds to appear
before the Grand Jury. He reserved
his judgment in the Brown case.
