RETURN OF THE FLAGS.
G. A R. Men Think Congress Should
First Act.

Chicago. May 29.-The Chronicle saws:
Whatever may be the views entertained
Dy individual members of the Grand Army
OF the Republic posts of Chicago on the
question of making one of the features of
ern states of the Confederate battlehags
the local committee will be guided entire
ly by the action taken by congress. That
there- IS a great sentiment in favor of the
restitution of the flags was evidenced yes
terday when il was announced that sew
eraI prominent members of the G. A. r.
have a plan in hand to secure the author
lzatlon OF congress for the return of the
banners which are at present in the Gus
tody Of the war department
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton of the executive committee having
campment and at meeting held last
evening it was decided that it would be
unwise TO take any action at this time
either Tor or against the giving back of
the flags. It was argued that the matter
did not come within the Jurisdiction of the
e. A h FOR the reason that the flags
are the property of the federal govern
ment and can not be disposed of without
a joint resolution of congress.
It was the unanimous opinion of the
committee. however. that should congress
authorize by joint resolution the restora-
ton of the standards the local committee
of arrangements would do all in its power
to make the presentation ceremony one
ment- 1t is planned that if the consent
of congress can be obtained the flags will
be turned over to the G. A r. and Presi-
dent Mckinley then will hand the torn
banners to the representatives of the Con-
tederate military organizations who will
be invited to Chicago for the ceremony.
Colonel w H. Harper, the chairman of
the executive committee of the encamD-
ment explained that the G. A r. as an
organization could not afford to indorse or
oppose the movement at the present time
for the reason that it was a matter en-
tirely in the hands of congress.
ITO my personal knowledge" said he
many members of the organization are
not in favor of parting with the Coa5ed-
crate battlefiags and on the other hand,
many favor such move. Be that as 1t
may, ! think the action of the executive
committee will tend to show that the G..
A. R. is loyal and viii abide by the deci-
sion of congress"
LongnecNer and Major Bigelow, of the ex-
ecutive committee, entertained similar
opinions on the action taken by that body
but declined to express personal views on
the wisdom Of turning the flags over to
the Confederate army organizations. Vol

such action providing it is authorized by

SENATOR CLARK'S MINE.
United Verde Copper Company Con
cealed Much of It's Assets.


New York. May 29.-The result of the
appeal from the ruling of the tax com
missioners by the United Verde Cop
per company to the supreme court for
a review of the assessment levied upon
the corporation for the year 1899 is that
Justice Freedman,in the supreme court
today, handed down a decision dismis-
secured by the company and increased
the assessment from 81, 440, 532 to ST.
373, 800.
The increase was caused by the re-
searches of Corporation Counsel Whalen
into the affairs of the United Verde
Copper company. He discovered that
the commissioners of the taxes had
made errors of fact and law in fixing
the lower sum, which initiated to the
advantage of the company by failing to
include among the taxable assets United
Verde Pacific railroad bonds worth
$300.000 and certain copper in transit
for sale worth $500 900.
Senator Clark of Montana is a large
stockho1der in the United Verde Cop
per company, which owns the larger
copper mines in the world. The COM
pany claimed that, Notwithstanding that
it is a domestic corporation, it has its
principal offices in this city, that it has
earnings of over 100000; that it has
paid 40 per cent dividend on it's So ,000,-
900 of stock; that its total taxable as
sets in this jurisdiction are limited to
property valued at 1922. 290.38, consist
ing of office furniture in this city valued
at 81 800 and a cash balance of $780,
$50. SO in bank.
