UNION JACK LOWERED.
Speaker Henderson Changes Decorations
In the Big Hall.

In the Big Hall.
Washington, D. c., Dec. 14.-While
the union jack of England was flying
from the flagstaff of the British en-
bassy by order of Lord Pauncefote in
honor of the capitol centennial cele-
bration, the same flag was taken down
from the decorations in the hall of the
house of representatives by order of
Speaker Henderson, though the flags
OF other powers were left in place.
What Speaker Henderson Says.
The speaker said to-day he had no
intention of doing anything discourte-
Gus to the British government. He
had acted on the report of Mr.. Ken
needy, that no other foreign flags were
used, and he had the British flag taken
down because it would not be proper
to put one nation over all others. He
said he had not noticed the flags in
the hall particularly. He noticed that
the effect was very fine, and thought
Mr.. Kennedy was right in saying that
the other flags were not national flags,
but were signal flags.

1t is declared in certain quarters
that if necessary to secure the rati-

close the canal to all the world, the

the hall and they decided to keep-it entertained

Altgeld had scarcely concluded when there
were again shouts all over the hall for Hill

the cries for Hill broke out afresh Sergeant

A CHEAP POLITICAL TRICK.

Suddenly two men We're seen bearing a bust
the platform. 1t draped in American
flags that no one could see its face. and the men
who carried it were careful not to uncover it,
The bust placed on a pedestal in the centre
Of the platform, the flags surrounding its face
were swiftly taken away. and the face of Bryan
was revealed. The disclosure obviously a
shock to the audience. It such a tactless
proceeding. 1t would have been appropriate to
have displayed bust of Washington or Jeffer-
son when the Declaration of Independence was
read, but not that of William J. Bryan. It was
such a clear attempt to make political capital
by a cheap device that there hardly any
applause. People in the galleries back Of the
platform shouted irreverentlY: Turn it around
and the men in charge graVely turned the bust
about. This caused laughter. The bust is said
10 have been made by Richard F. George. of
New Ork, son of Henry George
The Declaration of independence then read
by Charles :. Hampton, Of PetOSkey, Mich. Mr..
hampton deClaimed the Declaration in what
may he termed the campaign speech manner
Nevertheless the audience seemed TO prefer to
read the Declaration a home, and soon the hum
Of talk almost drowned the speakers voice. The
conclusion Of the reading brought forth hearty
cheer and then II was announced that Miss
Matte Fultoni, Of New-York would sing The
Star Spangled Banner" Miss FutOni has a fine
voice, but the hall is Of such enormous size
that few heard her sing the words Of the patri-
ouc air. and ii was not until she sang Amer
lca' that the audience found itself able to sing
with her.
when there were cries of "Finr' Hill" from all
parts of the hail, and there appeared 10 be a
deuge of enthusiasm for the Ex-Governor of
NeW-York.
