vidual flags under a big knife operated by
steam power, which goes through several
hundred thicknesses of cloth at once The
little sticks on which the flags are to be
mounted are made up in the country and

Sometimes the web is shipped uncut to be

The better class Of silk flags and the flags
OF bunting are not printed but sewed.
There are only two concerns in the country
which make bunting for flags. They make
it in many colors, but the red, white and
blue is the chief product.
The bunting is cut into strips under the
power knives, and the white stars are cut
out of many thicknesses of cloth at one
stroke by steel dies. The strips are then
sewed together, and the stars sewed on the
square blue field. Twenty-Five years ago
the white stars were inlaid, and some
makers made flag in that way until year

destroyed and new cuts were made. This

before the other territories were admitted.
the flag makers put in the new forty eight

printed flags displayed all over the country
on the 4th of July this year will be incor-
rect; but it is doubtful whether any one
who does not read this article will stop to
count the number OF stars on a flag.
The expense of changing the design Of
flags when new State is admitted, horv
ever, is always balanced by the increased
business which comes to the flag makers
because the owners of flags want them to
conform to the regulations and many large
flags are sent in TO be altered and rlauy

Indian Bill In the House.

Washington, Jan. 2s.-The house
Overrode another of President Cleve-
lansd's pension vetoes today by vote
of 1877 to SO. The bill pensioned Jona-
than Scott, of the Sixth Iowa cavalry,
who is now living at Oswego, Kan, at
the rate of $79 per month. Mr.. Cleve-
land vetoed it on the ground that the
disability for which the beneficiary was
to be pensioned was not contracted in
the service.
The rest of the day was devoted to q
continuation Of the debate on the Indian
appropriation bill. Only few amend
ments were adopted, and those were Of
minor Importance. About twenty five
pages of the bill were covered.
A bill to satisfy peculiar claim was
passed, on motion of Turner. 1t was
the claim of John F. McRae, deputy
United States marshal, for keeping
thirty-six African slaves, landed by the
ship Wanderer, at Savannah, Ga, in
1859, until they could be shipped back
to their homes, in accordance with the
provisions of the laws for the suppress
sion of the slave traffic. The amount
WAS $462.

IN CHETCO MOUNTAINS,
d. Hartman Shot and Killed Near the
Oregon Border.

Grants Pass, Jan. 27.-Somewhat
meagre particulars have reached this
city of murder committed in the
Chetco mountains, about twenty We
miles north Of Chetoo, Cal, on the
21st inst.
D. Hartman, an expert miner from
Groveland, N. Y, and man named
Jones had some difficulty, growing out
of a dogfght, when, without any other
provocation than the mere disagree
ment, Jones seized Winchester and
shot Hartman, killing him instantly.
Jones then left, and is supposed to be
headed this way, though so far as
known no effort is being made to cap
ture him.
The shooting occurred at a mining
camp, and was witnessed by but one
man, who had camped with Jones, and
who, in company with p. Costello, the
postmaster, at Smith River, Cal, took
the body to Chetco, where it is being
embalmed for shipment East.
Jones is described as a man 8 feet
inches in height, weighing $50 pounds,
nearly bald-headed, with sandy COM
plexion. The name Of Jones is be-
lieyed to be assumed.

SENATORS WERE BUSY.
honetary-Conference Bill Considered
for the First Time

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The senate
had a busy session today, Cuba, the pro-
posed International monetary conference
and the Nicaragua canal came in for a
snare of attention. Mr.. Turpie closed
his speech on the Cuban resolution
urging that Spain had utterly failed to
quell the outbreak. and that the United
States should intervene.
The Wolcott bill for an international
monetary conference was considered for
the first time. White, Cannon and
Daniel urged that the conference would
be futile, and was not intended as a
serious movement toward bimetalism.
1t VISA made evident, however, that the
Dill would meet little opposition beyond
the contention of senators that the bill
would accomplish nothing. Stewart
offered an amendment providing that,
IN case the conference failed, the secre-
tary OF the treasury should within thir-
ty days begin the free and unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver. No
final action on the bill was taken. The
Nlcarauga canal debate was resumed,
Daniel speaking against the measure.
Morgan submitted a letter from Presi-
dent Hitchcock, of the canal company,
replying to the recent letter of Minister
Rodriguez. Morgan also offered an
amendment designed to meet the objec-
tions presented by Mr.. Roderiguez.
