Tie SerRennt-at-Arms Engaged fn
Bringing I'm Members.
The House was inactive for more than an
hour yesterday afternoon. while roll call
was taken and the sergeant was
engaged In bringing in absent members to
make a quorum, the absence of which was
disclosed by the roll call. The suspension
was caused by wrangie growing out Of
Mr.. Tongues (Ore.) attempt to deliver
general pension speech, when the House
was considering a private pension measure,
Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsylvania in the chair.
Mr. Richardson CTenn.) made the point of
order that the speech OF Mr.. Tongue was
not gerpane to the pending bill Mr.. Can
non QlL) took issue with the Tennessee
member. The Speaker sustained the point
of order. and Mr.. Cannon appealed from
the decision. Upon the motion Of Mr..
Richardson to table the appeal sighty-sev-
en- voted in the affirmative and eleven in
the negative. Mr.. Cannon made the point
of no quorum. and call of the House fol-
lowed 1t was more than an hour before
the requisite quorum appeared. The appeal
was then laid upon the table-yeas, l34;
nays, 9-and consideration of private bills

flag, but supplements 1t the same as the
admirars and other pennants are flown
when the officer of the rank It symbolizes
is on board.
1t has always been customary when the
President goes aboard United States ship
of war to give him the presidential salute
as an act of formal courtesy. 1t is now
also an official form to fly III. Presidents
flag while he remains on board.
Until now there has been no Presidents
standard or coiors for the army, of which
he Is also constitutional commander-in-
chief, or to be flown over the Executive
Mansion, his official residence when at the
capital, in addition to the national coiors.
Not an Innovation.
The adoption of a standard emblematic
OF the sovereign executive Of the nation
cannot be regarded as an innovation nor
an imitation Of ceremonial display of roy
atty. 1t was customary during the war of
the rebellion for the states, particularly
Pennsylvania, to supply every regiment of
volunteers with the state standard in addi-
ton to the national colors. 1t is customary
IN the army for each staff branch of the
service to have its designating embIems, as
the castle or the engineers, the crossed
cannon of the ordnance. and so on.
These flags are no encrodchment upon the
pre- -eminence of the stars and stripes"
which represent the nation in its autono-
nous character among the nations of the
earth and in supreme authority at home.
General orders No. 13, March Is, 1898 of
Maj Gen. Miles, made the addition of a
paragraph, 2l2A, to the army regulations.
This describes in official detail the Presi-
dents flag, to be used when the President
is present on official visits to fortresses
military forts or posts, or at reviews or
in the field
Description of the Presidents Flag.
The flag is of scarlet bunting, thirteen
feet fly and eight feet hoist. In each corner
is a five-pointed white star of five-inch
radius to the tips. In the center of the
scarlet field is a large fifth star, also Of five
points, two feet nine inches radius to the
tips. Inside Of this star is a parallel star,
separated from it by band OF white, three
inches wide.
The inner star forms a blue field, upon
which is the official coat-of-armS of the
United States, of the Department of State
design.
On the scarlet field around the large star
are other white stars, one for each state
equally scattered in the re-entering angles,
and AL included within the circumference
of circle three feet three inches radius.

constellation of thirteen stars, representing
the original states of the American con-
federation.
