M'KINLEY is TO OFFICIATE

CHICAGO, May %. "A special to The
Times-Herald from Washington says:
During the G. A. R. encampment in
Chicago President Mckinley may have
the pleasure of returning to the South
ern states the Confederate battlefield
flags now in the war department..
Prominent members of the G. A. r.
have in hand plan to secure the au
thorization of congress for the return Of
these flags and it is hoped both houses
will pass the necessary joint resolution
before the adjournment. During the
coming week it is expected the military
committee will take the necessary pre-
liminary action.
If the consent of congress can be OBJ
tanned the flags will be turned over tc
the G. A. R., the representatives Of
Confederate military organizations will
be invited to Chicago and with beauti
full ceremonies, President Mckinley
assisted by the veterans of the blue and
the gray, will hand the torn and blood
stained banners back to the valiant
hands which once carried and de-
Tended them.
None of the friends of President Nc
Kinley know anything about the prof
ect to secure authority of congress fol
the return of these flags. The move
ment is wholly in the hands of the vet
Grams of the G. A. R., and their organ
ization will have full charge of the GER
emonies in case the plan is worked out
successfully. If congress gives its as
sent to the proposal, Chicago will wit
ness one of the most notable historic
ceremonies that ever took place Oh
American soil.

Possibility That the Senate VIII Not Be
Ready to Adjourn June 6.
WASHINGTON, May 28.-The time of
the senate during the present week will
be divided largely between the discus
sion of the Philippine question and the
consideration Of appropriation bills,
with decision about the middle of the
week in the Clark case.
The sundry civil appropriation bill
will probably be considered for two or
three days more, and by the time that
it is disposed of the general deficiency
bill will be ready for consideration.
Neither the deficiency nor the military
academy bills, the only appropriation
bills undisposed of except the sundry
civil bill, is expected to consume any
considerable amount of time.
The senate will make an effort to
meet the plans of the house in the mat
ter of final adjournment on June 6, but
there is general apprehension among
senators that the date may be postponed
until the 9th orShe 18th.

A Two Hundred Thousand-Dollar Fire at
Park Falls, Wis.
MILWAUKEE, May 2S.-A Sentinel
special from Phillips, Wis, says the
Flambeau Paper company's mill and
warehouse at Park Falls, in Price
county, burned at an early hour, entail
ing loss of 100000. The fire orig
mated in the engine room of the paper
mill. The property is well insured.
The principal stockholders Of the COM
pany are Henry Sherry and F. T. Rus
sell of Neenah. The town was without
adequate fire protection and at one time
it was thought it would be totally
wiped out. Assistance from Medford
and Abbottsford prevented the spread
ing Of the flames beyond the paper
company's plant, with the exception
that raaidAnna was DESTROYED. In
cluded in the loss are two paper ma
chimes valued at $40, 900 each.

Bryan. Returns from $50 out of the 333
precincts of st. Louis received up to 8
o'clock this morning, show democratic
gains, but these returns with but few
exceptions come from democratic strong
holds. The Worlds Fair constitutional
amendments have carried by an over
whelming majority, thus insuring the
success of that project. Returns from
the state and the city Of ST. Louis are
still very incomplete owing to the fact
that the vote on seven constitutional
amendments has to be counted first as
set forth by the Nesbit election law and
to the late closing OF the polls. Some Of
the counties in the state which have
formerly gone republican have changed
their political complexion, surprising the
members of the democratic state COM
mittee. Carroll, Clarke, Wright, Cole
and many others gave democratic major
tiles. One or two counties, which have
heretofore gone democratic, have turned
republican by small majorities, which
later returns possibly may not verify.

show very substantial republican gains.
The republicans claim they will give Nc
Kinley a majority and the democrats are
equally sure of the result. The changes,
however, have been SO diversified that it
is well night impossible to make an es-
innate.
With a corresponding result in unre-
ported precincts to those already re-
ceived, Mckinley will have a small plu
ralty.
The legislature is uncertain. In close
counties out in the state tie republicans
have made material gains. In Douglas
county, the largest assembly district in
the state, the count will not be COM
pleted until late today, and the demo-
Gratis say the missing recincts. which
are in South Omaha, will elect the fu-
sion legislature candidates in this dis
trict. The state democratic ticket is run
ming slightly ahead of Bryan.
Chairman Edmiston of the populist
safe central committee telephoned from
Lincoln at 1890 o'clock that Bryan
would have a plurality in the state OF
about 5000 with the state ticket running
close to these figures. Returns now COM
ing from South Omaha indicate the elec-
ton of the fusion delegation to the legis-
lature which will in all probability de-
termine the complexion Of that body.
The latest totals on the national ticket
are from 462 precincts outside of Omaha
and Douglas county, which gives NC
Kinley 4o.s53; Bryan, 40,219. The same
precincts in 1896 gave Mckinley S7,2f4;
Bryan, 4o,o46, showing a net republican
gain of 1855.

New York, Nov. 7.-Election returns
received this morning indicate that the
republicans have carried New York state
nv about 900 and that the democrats
have carried Greater New York by about
27.5OO. This forms one of the surprises OF
the campaign, for the reason that the re-

governor Odell had claimed the state In
his ante-election statements by only 1OO,-
900 and the republicans generally have
been willing to concede that Nh. Bryan
could carry Greater New York by at
least $4,000. The democrats claimed that
BRYAN would carry New York by $4,000

death-can prevent Mr.. Bryan from re-
