M'KINLEy Is TO oFFIClA1E
Event Will Take Place at the
National Encampment at
Chicago.
Consent Of Congress the Only
Thing Necessary to Make
1t Certain.

CHICAGO, May 28. "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 a 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-
iminary action.
If the consent Of congress can be OBJ
tanned the flags will be turned over to
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 for
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 on
American soil.
