LOUISVILLE, KY, May 31.-The
Sons Of Confederate Veterans, this az
ternoon refused lay on the table a
motion offered by w. H. McLaws, di-
vision commander of Georgia, that
only a Confederate flag be carried in
the Sons Of Veterans division of the
confederate reunion parade tomorrow
Mr.. McLaws said he understood n
United States flag was to be carried at
the head of the Sons of Veterans.
A number Of delegates made speeches
and il became apparent that an unex-
pected issue had come before the con-
vention. Several of the delegates urged
that the Sons of Veteran carry both
the United States and he confederate
fiage in the parade. The part played
by the south in the Spanish American
war and President McKinley's recent
action in wearing a confederate but
ton has suggested taht the Unite l
States government treat the confeder-
ate just as it treats the union soldier.
were urged as reasons why the Unite !
states flag be carried by the Sons Of
Veterans. After a number Of speeches
had been hard ther were rejoinders.
The discussion was growing wider anG
more interesting when it was cut off
by the motion to table Mr.. Laws mo-
tion.
All the speakers said that no veter-
ans son was today disloyal to the Uni
ted States flag but they regarded the
confederate flag as an emblem of their
organization and thought that it
should lead the parade for that reason.
AS the discussion had prolonged con-
siderabl the session of the convention,
an adjournment was taken after the
tabling Of McLaw's motion until to-
morrow, when the question is expect
ed to come up for fnal action.

"DAzzLING SILVER" WAS PLATED.
Col. BeIIinger Tells About the Fit
tings of the summer.

Tn the House of Representatives the
other day Congressman briggs OF New
York created a mild sensation by charg-
ine the war department with gross ex-
travagance in fitting up the transport
Sumner at New York. He asserted that
dazzling silver and magnificent cut glass
had been provided for the transport until
shey was second in appointment only to
the private yacht of multi-millionaire.
1t appears that Col. John B. Belinger,
who was depot commissary in this city
during the war with Spain, was engaged
directly or indirectly in fitting up the YES
sell He has given some facts in repy 10
Mr.. briggs charges. The New YORK Times
says:
.'Col. John h. Bellinger of the quarter
master generals office produced some fig
ures showing the cost of articles referred
to in Mr.. briggs speech. As to the cost
of the fitting out of the Sumner, ms re-
port agreed with those of Assistant Secre-
tarv Meikleiohn that they did not exceed
100000. Until the bills of the Norfolk
navy ward people are received the exact
figures cannot be given. The transport
was generally fitted up is have been the

Mr.. briggs said was s. 900, and should

of the ship is not of the best, but 1t is

Justice Snodgrass, eX-Congressman Fat

Cen Wright was visibly affected wheh
he arose to reply to the kindly express

his friends he took up the question OF Elk

Louisiana and the taking in OF tioriua'
california and Alaska. Gen. wright COLI
tinued: s .e tbora

construction, that the power to eXpahd Is
inherent and inexhaustible. In short Una [
whatever additional territory the people
Of tbe United States think they need ann
can rightfully acquire, they may consul

ON each instance the question is one
of exnediencv and not of power, to be de-

Gen Wright said that it has always
been his belief that the Island OF CUBA
