A FLAG FROM sULU.
Interesting Curiosity Received from
the Philippines.
The Banner of the Sultan of the su1u
Archipelago n Unique Affair."
Covered with Various Designs
Symbolic in Character.

Adjt. Gen. Corbin has received GU
riosity from the Philippines in the
shape of the flag of the sultan of
Sulu. 1t was forwarded by Maj. o. j.
Sweet, of the Twenty-third infantry,
now stationed on the Island of Jolo.
The flag is oblong, about four by five
feet. 1t has red ground bordered
with white ruffles and ornamented
with various designs, including a
black field with five white stars and a
kries and spear Moro weapons), in
white. over which is a strip of black.
1t is described as the flag of the Mo-
hammedans of the Sulu archipelago,
and each feature of it is symbolical.
The first star represents religious
knowledge; the second star prayers;
the third star indulgence money; the
fourth star titles. and the fifth star pill
grimage to Mecca. The center star
contains Arabic letters in black, de-
noting the flag of the sultan of Sulu.
The stars further represent the five
provinces of the sultan, viz: Basilan,
Jolo, the Siassi group, the Tawi Tawi
group, and Borneo and Palawan
paraguay. The red ground of the
flag represents the subjects of the sui
tan; the Moro weapons, strength and
war. The black top border, the Moro
chiefs, and the black ground for the
stars, the goodness of the Mohamme-
dan religion. The flag was displayed
in the adjutant generals office and at
tracted considerable attention.

SETTLED AT LAST.
an Interesting Point OF
Precedence.

President and Mrs. Mckinley enter
tanned the members of the cabinet and
a large and distinguished contingent
from the senate and house of represen-
tatives at dinner recently.
The dinner was notable in the fact
that it settled the long-standing con-
troversy over official precedence. The
president. after studying the subject
diligently. decided to make a distinct
class of the representa tives of the three
branches of the government, the presi-
dent and vice president to represent
the executive, the chief justice to head
the judicial branch, and the president
pro tempore of the senate and the
speaker of the house the legislative de-
partment. When the office of vice
president is vacant the president pro
tempore of the senate. being acting
vice president is entitled to recogni-
tion as vice president.
The president escorted Mrs. Hender-
son, wife of the speaker. while the
speaker had the honor of being Mrs.
McKinley's companion at dinner. This
exemplified the presidents decision.
The chief justice not being present,
nor the president pro tempore of the
senate, the highest dignitary repre-
senting one of the supreme branches
of the government was the speaker.
After this the cabinet officers took
their regular places. Mrs. Gage with
the secretary of war, Mrs. Root with
Mr.. Gage, Mrs. Charles Emory Smith
with the attorney general and the
postmaster general with Mrs. Griggs.
This programme has placed the official
seal on all procedure for the future.

CHAPTER VIII.

Leaving the physicians Office, Holbin
made his way through the streets,
where excited crowds were discussing
the approaching conflict. He went to
his room. 1t is true he had gained NO
profitable information concerning the
unknown, yet-and the thought CON-
soled him to some extent-he had made
two important discoveries: Brodnar
was his enemy, and the shooting had
really occurred. But who was the man,
and why should Brodnar seek to shield.
himf For the first time then it dawned
upon Holbin that Brodnar was the
friend who came to the rescue Of the
wounded man and bore him away.
Everything corroborated Louise, and
il Louise spoke from q clear memory,
then Frances had been observed ten
DERBY parting from the man she loved.
This mental conclusion filled him with
rage. despite the fact that he did not
and could not believe the girl guilty of
serious error. Common sense told him
also that Brodnar would not have been
party to scandal and the protector
OF q guilty participant. It was bad
hour that Holbin gave to his dilemma
In the privacy of his own room. In
his doubt and distress he thought often
Of his mother, who had Richmond So
oisty at her finger ends, and whose
clear, incisive mind could pierce the
mystery if it could be pierced. But he
hesitated at this stage. There were
other secrets besides that which
baffied him, and he was not prepared
to admit the presence Of Louise in
Richmond.
But why not Frances? No explana-
tons were necessary there; and she
was young and, of course, easily
frightened. He went at once to her
room, and upon the plea of urgent
necessity forced his way In. He found
her with her cheeks wet with tears and
instantly full Of resentment. She re-
NAMED standing while he was in the
room.
II have matter of great Importance,
Frances, to discuss with you In private,
and much as dislike to be guilty Of in
