ton of the flag was then presented by
Frances Saunders Kempster She prefaced
her report by giving an exhaustive history
of the flags of the world from the beginning
of the use of banners to now.
Loyal Americans she said, ''have read
with anxious hearts, through the months
just gone by the accounts of the valor
of our troops following the red, white and
blue banner through incredible difficulties
and dangers, and through deadly hail of
shot and shell. They may even have grown
familiar with the story of the brave boys
song of The Star Spangled Banner as
they stood under fire and saw it appear
triumphant in the struggle beyond; or with
the tales of heroic onward rush of the flag
bearer, into the very heart of death. And
yet-these loyal Americans who cannot hear
the well-known story but with fast beating
hearts, turn to their accustomed daily
scenes and look on this emblem of all our
sacrifice and bloodshed, the banner which
men grasp as a holy thing and safeguard
unto death, which may not touch the earth
but to enwrap the lifeless bodies of its de-
fenders-they look on undisturbed while
these stars and stripes are subjected to
every possible indignity. They pass unheed-
ing and without rebuke the most dishonor-
Ing ignoble treatment of the cOlors.
THE plea in justification that the flag is
able to take care of ITSELF while patriotic
in tone, and probably so in intention is so
illogical a Sinking of the matter that few
words seem necessary in reply. 1t is an
influence upon the young which is needed
and upon those who in such large numbers
come from other lands, with minds wholly
unacquainted with the institutions in which
they to share.
She then gave half a hundred incidents
of the manner in which the flag had been
desecrated, and called upon the continental
congress to lend its every effort to the
passage of bill through Congress to pre-
vent the further dissertation of the flag.
On conclusion of the report, which was
warmly received, a resolution was offered
in consonance with the report and after a
little discussion adopted.
Regular Order Demanded,
The regular order was then demanded
which was further consideration of amend
ments to the bylaws of the national So
ciety. The first amendment was one which
would give to the chapters the right to
have constitutions, as well as bylaws
Many objected to chapter constitutions
considering the national constitution quite
sufficient. One lady said her chapter had
to the national board, and the president
general said a chapter could not have a
constitution, whereupon the lady replied:
But we have a constitution in our chap
ter and have always had"
Some one asked al regents who had con-
situations in their chapters to stand up and
to the CONSERVATION ofithe national board
at least q dozen regents stood up Then
the storm of constitution and no constitu-
ton for chapters rolled and tumbled from
stage to foyer-on1i the stage and back to
the foyer again-ff.y women talking at
order and demanding a vote on whether
they could or could not have constitution,
The controversy was not concluded when
this report closed.

No Division of Sentiment.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
l don't know who inspired the article in
last nights Star, headed Union Veterans
Union, Division of Sentiment Respecting
the Presidents Policy" but it is erroneous
In almost every respect and misleading.
In the first place, there was no division
of sentiment in the command. Captain
Street undertook to incite disapprobation of
the sentiments expressed by the command
er-in-chief OF his Baltimore speech; but
captain Street was unanimously called
down and finally declared that he would
follow the commander-in-chief anywhere.
General Stratton made, as usual, most
agreeable address, but, if it was in sus-
tainment OF any particular policy, it was
not so understood.
There was no general debate. There was
but one expression of sentiment, and that
was In favor of the position of the COM
mander-in-chief.
The position of the comma nder-incbias
that is, of the entire order of the Union
Veterans Union, has been tersely and well
expressed in report of a committee last
week, as follows:
TO the officers and comrades of Hancock
Command, No. l, Department of the Po-
tomac, Union Veterans Union:
Your committee appointed to report on
the address of the commander-in-chief re-
Gently delivered in Baltimore, in which he
made reference to and deprecated the ten
denotes of sentiment becoming prevalent.
to forgive and forget, especially to forget
the patriotic devotion and services of the
men who served the nation, when appoint
ments are made in the civil service and
to places under government generally, beg
leave to submit the following report:
Resolved, That Hancock Command here
by unanimously approves and earnestly
commends the sentiment so appropriately
expressed in said address, and adopts It as
the voice and expression of every mem
Der of our command and, as we believe.
that of our entire Order of Battle-Soldiers
of America
The above was unanimously and enthus-
iastically adopted"

Society is laughing itself sicl
lover an amusing incident which
| occurred at Il certain fashionable
i residence not many days ago, says
1.-THE Louisville Times. A we'll.
| known young lawyer was the VIC
! tim.
He was calling on local belle,
and during the course of the eve
ming took advantage of an oppor.
tunity and imprinted a kiss Oh
the fair cheek of his hostess, much
to her surprise and Indignation.
"Sir, how dare you'll" she ex-
claimed, or words to that effect.
'.If you ever presume to do sucb o
thing like that again IN tell my
father!"
But the young lawyer thought
lit was d bluff, or else liked it &c
we'll that he was willing to take
the consequences. Anyhow, he
| repeated the offense. He was not
very much surprised to see her
Jump up and leave the room with
an air of offended dignity.
That's all a bluff" thought
he. "She will go upstairs and
get a handkerchief and then come
down and scold me. +" He was
still in this frame of mind when
he heard the parlor door behind
him open. "There she is" he
thought. And then he said aloud
swell, did you tell him."
A moment later his blood froze
in horror as deep voice replied =:
Eyes, Mr.. =, my daughter told
me-
There was no need to say more.
At the sound of the unfamiliar
voice the young lawyer had looked
around. When he saw the father
with long modern rifle in his
hands he waited no longer.
With one bound he had reached
the window, ard he went through
it, sash and all, leaving his hat
behind him,
What he did not know was that
the young lady's anger had melt
ed by the time she had reached
her fathers room, but sh, decided
to play a joke on him.
Father said she, "Mr. = is
downstairs. He is great hunter
and Il perfect crank on the subject
of rifles. l have been trying to
explain your new Winchester re-
peater to him. Won't you take it
down and show it to him?"

OUR TWO WARS.

The war with Spain lasted only
ia days. The war with the Phil
lippines has now lasted 1870 days.
Our army sent to Cuba under
Gen. Shafter consisted of about
900 officers and men, little
more than half of whom reached
the fighting line. Gen. Miles took
to Porto Rico 3,415 men.
Since Dewey accomplished his
mission in destroying the Spanish
fleet twenty-three army expedi-
tions have crossed the Pacific and
four have gone by way of the Suez
Canal to conquer the islands for
which we paid Spain $20,0OO,OOO.
These expeditions have carried
l ,279 officers and 81 ,2S7 men, but
nearly 500 additional officers have
gone out to- Manila and nearly
1000 men who did not accompany
the regular expeditions. OF the
total force, up to date scarcely
l,UUU nave returned.
Gen. Otis has therefore had
nearly twice as many soldiers as
were required to conquer Spain in
Cuba and Porto Rico. His army
is twice as large as the force with
which Gen. Scott whipped Mexico.
Our losses in MI. McKinley's
war in the Philippines are not
bulletined for the public by the
War Department, but they far
exceed our loss in the war declared
by Congress against Spain. There
has been fighting nearly every day
since hostilities were begun at Ma
Mia, and our War Department is
now striving desperately to send
5000 more reinforcements to Gen.
Otis. Commander Ford, Admiral
Dewey's fleet surgeon, who has
just returned home, says: "When
| left we had not quite so much
ground as was ours during the
first part of August last year, and
our lines were restricted to the
suburbs of MANILA"
The splendid valor, dash and
endurance of our soldiers is the
only redeeming feature of this
unauthorized, unnecessary, UNI.
American and apparently end.
| less war of subiugation--N. Y
