QUEST OF OFFICIALS.
INDIGNANT CITIZEN FINALLY CUT
HALYARDs AMID CHEERS.

Bar Harbor, Me-. Sept. 5.-There
was a splendid naval display here
Tuesday when five British warships
steamed into the inner harbor and
fired national salute, which was re-
turned by the U. $. s. Newark. The
British shipswere were Ii. Nj. 5. Cres-
cent flying the flag of Vice-Admirai
Bedford; the Wasp. the Phsyche, and
the torpedo boat destroyer Quail and
Indefatigabie. Rear Admiral Far
quar-. with his staff. made formal
visit 10 Nice-Admiral Bedford on the
Crescent, and at its conclusion a re-
turn call was made by the British Of
ficers headed by their vice-admiral.
Just after the British ships drop
ped anchor In the harbor Tuesday
morning al incident of more than or
binary interest occurred. Near the
shore path Edward Van Ness. of New
York, swung TO the breeze, from a
staff on his lawn, a large Boer flag
and addressed his friends in denuncia-
tion OF the British. The hag raising
made the people angry and a dozen
volunteered 70 cut the pole down
without rurther ceremony. lGeif Al
miral Upshur (retired) was particular
ly veXed. Charles III. Wood, chairman
of the board of Seiectmen, called on
Mr.. Van Ness and requested him to
lower the nag. but he refused 10 grant
the request Chairman Wood, togeth-
er with DR.. J. Madison Taylor, repre-
Senting the board of trade, and two
police o GERS afterwards renewed the
request TO have the flag removed.
Again the owner OF the flag refused
and defied the o GERS 10 remove ii.
Mr.. Wood thereupon applied the
knife to the halyards and the Boer
standard floated 10 earth amid the
cheers OF those assembled
Mr.. Van Ness was one of the COM
mittee to receive,t the Boer commission
ers when they visited this country. He
has been requested 10 resign from the
Gentlemen's Club.

On GunbDat Hawk.

Washington, Sept 1.-The converted
gunbOat Hawk will leave Norfolk in a
day or two for Cleveland, O.. where
she wall take aboard the Ohio naval
militia and give them a weeks prac-
tice cruise in the lakes. The Hawk was
formerly private yacht and was pur-
chased by the government and convert
ed into a miniature war ship at the
outbreak OF the Spanish war. She has
a displacement of 315 tons and an in
dicated horsepower of 1000. She car
ries a small battery of four rapid fire
guns and her presence in the lakes Is
not likely 10 give the least offense to
the dominion authorities. The old iron
cruiser Michigan, which is the only
United States warship regularly sta
toned in the northwestern lakes. is OF
an old and obsolete type and was not
regarded as entirely suited for the pur-
pose OF drilling the lake militia in
modern naval exercises and tactics. 1t
is not known whether the Hawk will
be retained permanently on the lake
station or whether she will be with
drawn after the close OF the practice
cruise.

Never Give Up Pekin.

Berlin. September 4.-Negotlations
continue between the powers respect
ing the propositions OF Russia 1t APP
pears that the portion OF the proposal
which contemplates the removal OF the
legations 20 Tien Tsin does not meet
with opposition, but the proposal that
the troops should vacate Pekin will not
be acted upon until after thorough ex-
animation OF the case 10y other powers
with a special view to the question or
military advisability. Germany's pro-
gramme is 10 await the action Of the
other powers. Count Won Buelow, the
German foreign minister, has made n
communication 10 this effect to the
Russian ambassador Count Won Der
Osten- Sac acken.
A high official OF the German foreign
Office said Yesterday in defining Ger
manys position: Germany has not
al swered Russia formally. although
she has informed her confidentially as
90 the views OF the German govern
ment. Certainly we Go not OBJECT 10
the removal OF legations temporarily to
Tien Tsin, as this would enable the
members to recuperate from their re-
cent hardshirs. So far as the answer
of the United States TO Russia is con-
cerned. we now see IL 10 be In subStan-
trial agreement with Germany's posi-
ton"
When asked whether. If the troops
were withdrawn. the empress dpwager
and empress would return to Pekin,
the foreign Office official in question re-
piled that he could form no opinion
worth stating on that subject. Most OF
the German papers are of opinion that
II is very doubtful if Germany can
adopt Russia's suggestions. and they
deplore the evidence of a threatened
split i'm the European concert. one
leading Berlin journal asserts that En-
peror William, while conversing with a
group OF officers Last Saturday evening
said:
Under no conditions shall we give
up Pekin. not even If every army corps

Morally bound to Paw.

Elemental brief filed in the Supreme
Court III. r Hatch. Of Detroit, attor-
ney for the Michigan Sugar Company.
in its suit to collect beet sugar bounty
claimed to he dine from the state, takes
the ground that the stae Is morally
bound to pay the bounty under the
promise contained in the bounty Law
of 1897. He holds that for the state
to go hack on its implied promise to
pay bounty for seven years would be
to disgrace and besmirch Its reputa-
tion. and that nothing short OF abso-
lutte bankruptcy would relense a PR
vate individual from his obligations
under the same circumstances.

Russians Taking No Chances.

Philadelphia. Sept. 4.-Orders have
been received from St Petersburg by
the Russian naval inspectors at
Cramps ship yards, which will neces-
state a new trial by the cruiser Variag
before her formal acceptance by the
Russian government. This is due TO the
accident which happened during the
last trial when the head Of one of the
high pressure cylinders was cracked. A
sustained speed Of twenty-three knots
is required by the contract. The YES
sci exceeded this 10y l.6 knots for six
consecutive hours when the accident
occurred. 1t was not expected that a

aboard first-class ships. No date for
