Down tho British Emblem.

Stamford Conn, July 19.-The "Fa-
nous flag fracas,' so called, was ended
this evening in the city court, so far as
the trial of Edward Brown on the
charge of alleged breach of the peace
was concerned. Judge Carroll of Bridge
port found Brown guilty and fined him
$50 and costs. The evidence in the case
was finished early this afternoon and the
arguments were then heard. Prosecut-
ing Attorney Carter reviewed the evil
dence at length and claimed a convic-

nealy for the defense, who in a long
speech declared that Brown was a pat
riot and that the testimony of the wit
nesses for the state was false. Judge
Carroll in rendering his decision review
ed the evidence at length. He said that
the United States was at peace with all
the world, and that Fosdick or any
other citizen had the right to display
the English flag on the Fourth of July
or any other day Fosdick, he said, act
ed clearly within his rights in ordering
Brown and Selectman Holly from his
grounds and while the breach of the
peace was a trivial matter the act of
Brown in threatening to shoot Fosdick
was serious offense He therefore
found Brown guilty and fined him $50
and costs. The defense Immediately fill
ed notice of an appeal to the criminal
common pleas court and furnished bonds

RECRUITMENT OF VOLUNTEERS.
The War Department Now Offering
Extrn Ind u c en- eMts.

Washington, July 19.-The war de-
partment is Offering extra inducements
to expedite the recruitment of the ten
volunteer regiments. Nearly all the
commissions having been issued, many
of the disappointed applicants have
been advised to enter the ranks, as in
that way it may be possible for them
to secure commissions. General Corbin
says that the policy of the administra
tion will be to fill all vacancies which
may occur among commissioned officers
from the ranks. Another method of Sc
curing recruits is to offer commissions
to men otherwise qualified who will un-
dertake to furnish in each case not less
than forty men who can pass muster as
soldiers and will enlist for service in the
Philippines. There have been several
cases of this kind during the past week.
A former officer of the Texas volunteer
infantry recently told General Corbin
that he would guarantee to recruit two
hundred good men from Texas, .provid-
ed he was assured of commission.
General Corbin promised him a second
lieutenancy if he would recruit even
forty men for the volunteer army.

PLATT DEFENDS M'KINLEY
CH1nPIONS CONDUCT OF VAR IN
THE PHILIPPINES.
Paws His Respects to the eAmti-Imperial-
lists Says the President Assembled n
Larger Army in the Islands Than His
Military Advisers Had Thought Nee
essary.

New York, July 19.-United States
Senator T. G. Platt tonight gave out a
statement in which he vigorously de-
fends the administration conduct of
the war in the Philippines. He pays
his respects to the anti-imperlalists, de-
tails the progress that, according to re-
liable advices has been made in extend
ing American authority in the islands;
declares that the president had no right
in honor and good faith with Spain, to
send to the Philippines one single man
more than was there at the time the
insurgents attacked the Americans;
that he could have sent to the Philip
pines, assuming that the obstacle of
good faith with Spain had not been re-
moved, only a body of men whose en-
listment expired with the proclamation
of peace and whose dispatch out OF the
country was consequently of no avail.
The senator asserts that the president
had assembled at Manila an army much
larger than his military advisers had
thought necessary and is now prepar-
ing an army competent to bring about
the paciflcation of the islands. He de-
clares that the Administrations record
is one of sagacity and competency.

cester of Gloucester, Mass, was wreck
ed on Sable Island on Monday night

dory to-day and report that the yes
sci left the fishing grounds in the
Straits of Belle Isle on Monday Of last
week for Gloucester with fare of $4,000
pounds of halibut. Monday last a
strong breeze sp1hng up and at 1929
that night with o heavy south wind, the
weather hazy, the vessel struck on the
northeast of Sable Island and the crew
of sixteen men hurriedly put some food
and water in five dories and left the ves-
sci in the darkness Mcdonald and
Jodery decided to steer for this port.
They feel somewhat uneasy about the
others of the crew as they say they
could not land on the south side Of the
island and to row around to the north
side would mean great task in the
thick fog, which shut in after getting
clear of the wreck. The Worcester had,
only July 6, on the fishing grounds, lost
two men by drowning. The men who
landed here are being cared for by the
American consul and will be sent home.
The government steamer Newfield left
Halifax for Sable Island on Monday and
is; due on the island tomorrow morning.
She will return and may be expected
here tonight Incoming vessels may,
however, pick up some Of the missing
men.
