A HISTORICAL FLAG.


WASHINGTON, May s5.-There was an
interesting scene In the anti.room OF
Secretary Alger's Office at the war de-
partment when a delegation OF griz'
zled veterans from 7. M. X. Lee post
OF Merchantville, N. j., presented the
secretary with q handsome flag. The
emblem has history Of considerable
interest, having been bought original
ly by the Corn exchange, Of Philadel.
phia. in 1861, when regiment Of sol.
diers was enlisted under 1t. The pre-.
sentation speech was made by Past
Department Commander Henry L.
Hartshorn, who asked that Secretary
Alger direct that the flag be the first
TO be unfurled on Moro castles flag
staff when Havana comes into the pos
session Of the United States govern
ment. Secretary Alger made feeling
response to the address. His voice
seemed choked with emotion, and II
appeared to be with difficulty that he
uttered the words which almost
brought tears to the eyes Of the as.
sembled veterans:
thoroughly believe that an over-ruling
providence Is placing this great burden on the
American people. Our country has taken up
the cause OF humanity and II will not 10y down
Its arms until Cuba Is free and q government
OF the people and by the people Is there estab-
lished thank you for the flag and will direct
that 1t be raised over Moro castle when 1t Is In

conduct the campaign in Cubs and the
West Indian waterA The natural
conclusion, II this promise is well
founded, would be that the Spaniards
sre going to concentrate their en-
tire energies in the defense OF the
Philippines. with the view Of retain.
Ing them in the event peace Is forced
upon them, by virtue Of the principle
OF international law which limits q
victorious nation, In indemnifying
herself from the vanquished, 10 the
territory she actually occupies when
peace Is declared. So the retreat OF
the Spanish squadron from the West
Indies would be Insignificant, first, in
the danger 1t would place Dewey i'm.
mediately, and, second, in the hint it
would convey that the Spanish mind,
for the time, contemplates the posi-
bilities Of peace.

NOVEL FLAG RAISING.
ssdalla Railway Employees Throw Old Glory
to the Breeze, and 1000 silk Mluia.
tufea Are Released.

SEDALIA, Mo-, May 95.-One Of the
most patriotic demonstrations ever
witnessed in Sedalia took place at the
Missouri Pacific shops, when the shop
men raised a regulation silk flag to the
top Of 1sO-foot flagstaff. The occa-
sion was made general holiday,
factories and shops closing down,
business houses were closed and the
ceremonies were witnessed by thou
sands Of people. The Grand Army Of
the Republic, confederate camps and
Sons Of Veterans accompanied by
bands paraded the principal streets.
As the large flag was raised to the
peak Of the flagstaff, it unfolded to the
breeze setting at liberty 1000 tiny silk
flags which futtered to the ground
and we're quickly captured as souvenirs
OF the flag raising.
