CRANKS EVERYWHERE
English Tear Down American Flag
Americans Tear Down British Flag.

Halifax, n. s., June 24.-The United
States flag was deliberately torn from
a string of other flags on Sackville
street Queen Victoria's jubilee day. The
flags We're displayed by Thomas Downs
from his residence. The United States
flag was a very large one, and only the
band of it was left on the rope.
Some time ago Mr. Downs received a
threatening letter concerning the Unit
ed States flag which was displayed by
him on another occasion. The out
rage was committed early in the morn
ing and the perpetrators fed before
they could be arrested.
Lynn, Mass, June 24.-About mid
night Sunday some -Englishmen
discovered British flag flying from
a window in the Osborne block, which
is occupied almost exclusively by Eng
nshmen. They succeeded in reaching
the flag, tore it down and dragged it
through the mud.
The noise of the breaking of the pole
awakened the owner of the flag, who
gave chase and found his flag in the
middle of the street Although torn
in several places and covered with mud
he took it back and flung it from the
window He guarded the flag all
night armed with a, revolver and
threatened to shoot any man who at
tempted to touch it.
The English residents of the city are
very indignant over the affair and are
conducting rigid investigation.

ENDORSES LABOR UNIONS.
President Mckinley Says They are
Natural and Legitimate Efforts.

New York, June PA Washington
dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser
says:
L regard the organization of labor as
the natural and legitimate effort to Sc
cure its rights" said President NIcKin-
ley today.
This strong declaration in favor of
organized labor was made in the course
of a conversation with Samuel GOmpers
president of the American Federation
of Labor, and Frank Morrison, the sec
rotary of the organization. Mr..
Gompers and Mr.. Morrison came to the
White House about 4 o'clock. They
were admitted at once and the discus
sion became so interesting that the pre-
sident neglected his drive. For an
hour labor interests and labor legisla-
ton were discussed in all their varied
phases. The anti-poOlinES bill to re-
strain the operation of pools and trusts
causes the labor people some anxiety.
President GOmpers explained that the
labor organizations were afraid that
they themselves would be claSsed as
trusts and the penalties of the act APP
piled to them rather than the large
combinations usually known as trusts.
He thought an amendment should be
made specifically exempting labor I'M
ions.
President Mckinley agreed that the
labor unions should be protected and
spoke of measures in which he had TAX
en- an interest in former years. He did
not, however, think there was much
danger of their being classed as trusts
or subjected to penalties.
''UnlesS you believe, as some people
do" said Mr.. Gompers, that labor I'M
ions are an evil I think you will agree
with me that their existence should not
be endangered by this bill"
II do not desire TO be classed with
those who consider trade unions an
evil" replied President Mckinley and
he finished the sentence with tire
words quoted at the beginning of this
dispatch.

NOTE OF COMMISSION.
The South Not Always Busy Lynch
ing Negroes-A Hero Found.

Montgomery, Ala, June 24-The First
Methodist Sunday school yesterday pre-
sented to Scott Brown, a big, awkward
pIeasant-faced negro, a valuable watch
and chain, the watch bearing the in
scription:
Court Street Sunday School to Scott
Brown for his Heroism, June II, 1877
On that afternoon a runaway team
was coming break-neck speed down
Commerce, a paved street. The two
pretty little children of J. w Braus-
comb, a bOokkeeper, We're crossing the
street at the moment. A second before
the wild team would have struck them
Scott, who was standing dozen feet
away, saw their plight.
With one bound he sprang to the chill
dren. With his strong arm he hurled
one of them 10 feet away to a point of
safety. 1t was too late to get the other
out of the way and the heroic negro
braced his strong body with his arms
and knees over that of the fraiI little
girl. In another second the team had
struck and passed over them. The child
was unhurt, but the negro was pain
fully injured.
Mr.. Brauscomb and his friends had
every medical attention given the color
ed hero and made him accept a substan
tial reward. BY their own little mites
the children of the Sunday School ac-
cumulated enough to- buy the present
referred to and gave Scott a reception.

THE BELL SELLING OUT.
The International Telephone Compa-
ny Preparing to Go Out of Business

The International Telephone Compa-
ny Preparing to Go Out of Business
New York, June 24-The Press says:
Preparations are being made by the In
ternationaI Bell Telephone company to
discontinue business. The company once
had a capital of ST. $50, 900 but it was re-
duced to ST. 900, 900. It has now been de-
cided to reduce it to $75O0oO by the pay
ment to the stockholders of a cash divf-
dend OF $3.50, 900.
This concern introduced the telephone
in several foreign countries, the principal
one being Russia, where it has a twenty
one year contract with the government.
The contract expires in 1901 and it is
thought that the Russian government
then will avail itself of the contract right
to take possession of the company's prop
erty. Meantime the company is selling its
other business in Sweden, Holland,
Switzerland and Belgium. The officers
think they will be able to pay the stock
holders in full out of the proceeds of these
sales and the earnings in the next few
years.
Among telephone men this action is in
dicative of some changes of the business
in this country. They assert that pat
ent right IN this country Iapses when the
same patent expires abroad and that it
is possible a new phase of the telephone
business will develop.

THIS SHOULD SETTLE 1T.
Congressman Knowles Denies the
Baternan Charge Against BRYAN.


Bateman Charge Against Bryan.
Washington, June 24.-Referring to
the recent dispatch from Lewiston, Me,
wherein l. z. Bateman charged Con-
gresham Freeman Knowles of South
Dakota with saying that Mr.. Bryan's
gift of 81. 500 to the national Populist
committee was made with the distinct
understanding that no action against
fusion should be taken by the Peoples
party before the next national conven-
ton, Mr.. Knowles says:
7 deny the charges in toto. I did
not state that the committee had ac-
cepted any portion of the royalty of
Mr.. Bryan'S book. The matter was
talked over at the last meeting of the
Populist congressional caucus, when it
was decided that it would not be in
good taste for the committee to accept
the money. It was rendered to Sena-
tor Butler as chairman of the Popultst
committee without any qualifications
or conditions whatever except that it
was to be used in such manner as the
committee thought best.
Mr.. Bryan had announced that one
half the royalty of the book was to be
distributed among the committees of
the three parties which supported him
IN proportion to the vote cast, for the
propagation Of literature upon the
monetary question. The refusal of the
committee to accept the money placed
Mr.. Bryan in an embarrassing position
and he then deposited it with Senator
Allen as a citizen of Nebraska, subject
to future action. The committee did
not and has not accepted a dollar of
the money!
These are the things which Mr.
Knowles says he told Mr.. Talbot, the
county chairman of the Populist COM
mittee at SkOwhegan, Me, where he
is charged with making the above
statement. Knowles says there is not
a shadow of truth in the charge. He
has written to Mr. Talbot asking him
Tor statement as to the truth or falsi-
ty of what Mr.. Bateman charges.
