gather during a revision Of the tariff
Although notice OF the hearings was
only given two days ago, the committee
is already being overwhelmed by appli-
cations from representatives OF the vari-
Gus interests who are anxious to present
arguments for increasing the rates Not
all OF the testimony will be in support
Of a higher tariff, for the Democratic
members of the committee intend to mar
shall witnesses in rebuttal as they call
them to advocate the continuance of the
Wilson bill. The Democratic members
viii insist upon their share Of the time,
not that they expect to accomplish any
thing by their efforts, but they desire
to have their side OF the case included in
the printed record OF the hearings.
One reason given for the delay is that
although the committee may report a
resolution, it is not desirable to have it
passed before the holiday recess. The
result Of passing OF such resolution by
the Senate might be such as to demand
immediate action by Congress and by the
terms OF the resolution already agreed

The Press., 1896-03-12

An agreement has been reached by Secretaries Lamont and Herbert as to the encouragement of the stars in the blue field of the flag, and the encouragement has received the approval of the pres- dent. This change in the field of the na- tional standard is made necessary by the admission of Utah to the union of states, which adds the 45th star to the flag. Un- der the law the new star will not be added until July 4, after which date all flags displayed by the various departments of the government will contain 45 stars. In the field of the present flag there are A stars, arranged in six rows. The top and bottom LOWS contain eight stars each, and the four intervening rows contain seven each. The lines are horizontal from left to right, and run obliquely from top to bottom. Two changes have been made in the encouragement, in order to meet the present necessity and provide for contingencies in the near future. One star has been taken from the bottom and nuu0u lO tuo HUI TOW, duu the auuIClOQaI star required for Utah is placed in the third row. In this manner the first, third and fifth rows each contain eight stars, and the second, fourth and sixth rows seven stars each. When other states are admitted to the union, stars may be added to those rows that will contain seven stars each, and upon the admission of Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma, the six rows will be complete with eight stars each. It is expected that the present rearrange- ment will not be disturbed by the admis- sion of the three territories named.
