DTSP UTE OYER 4 FLAG.
The One Presented to the Hospital Ship
 Maine by Victoria.

London, May GA dispute has arisen as to the ownership of the flag which Queen Victoria presented to the hospital ship Maine Mrs George Cornwallis West(Lady Randolph ChurchilD asserts that it belongs to her, and Bernard Baker, owner of the vessel, declares that it is his property. The flag is now in Lady Randolph's possession.
 It seems that while the Maine was still in service as a hospital ship MT. Baker gave orders that the flag should be surrendered to no one without an order from himself. The officer in charge of the ship, a few days later, sent it to Lady Randolph upon her written request. He was dismissed for disobedience and MT Baker requested Lady Randolph to return the flag to him, which she in spite of more impor- tune requests and demands has failed to do.
 Lady Randolph claims the flag as her own but has intinlated her willingness to send it to the United States govern ment to be placed as relic in some na- tional museum.

 Berlin, May 6.--The National Zeitung publishes statement, evidently inspir- ed, regarding the withdrawal from the province of Chi Lii Tho withdrawal, it appears, will be under Count von Wal dersee's command, no nation proceed ing alone. The first step will be note sent to the Chinese commissioners naming the total indemnity. If China gives written pledge of payment the greater portion of the foreign troops will be withdrawn. but sufficient num- Der will remain until the indemnity question is settled. Not until then will all the troops be withdrawn, with the exception of the legation guards and the garrisons between Pekin and the coast.
 London, May 6-Lord Cranborne, the under foreign secretary, informed MT Dillon (nationalist) that the withdraw al of a portion of the troops in the province of Pe-Chi-Li was in contem- plation, and that so soon as China conn., piled with the more important demands of the powers larger reduction would occur.

 fl HITCH.

Bristol, R. l., May 6.-With her hull gaily decorated with flags and her deck well filled with sailors, the yacht Constitution was christened this eve ming by Mrs. W. Butler Duncan who broke the traditional bottle of wine on her gistening bow just as she started slowly down the ways into the sea. A platform had been rigged under tile low of the boat and on this Mrs. Dun can stood when the gong for the start ing was sounded. Beside her on the platform was her husband. the man. ager of the new boat, but all the rest of the party stood little distance off.
 At the sound of the gong Mrs. Dun can dashed a bottle of champagne against the yachts bow, and as the wine gushed in sparkling foam on the prov, the sleek racer acquired motion and slowly at S:S2 began her descent into the water. With the breaking of the bottle Mrs. Duncan in a clear voice said: T christen thee Conctitution.
 The scene was brilliant one, as the Constitution was slowly lowered into the water, the cheering from the boats outside being loud and vigorous, while the brilliant searchlight from the steam yach. Colonia just outside the dock illuminated the stern of the Con stitution in a brilliant manner. Rockets and other fireworks added not little to the gaiety of the occasion.
 Mrs Duncan was dressed in a dark yachting costume and gave the bottle a good hard crack. The Herreshoffs' contingent was present in large num- bers, but the crowd from New York was a small one, August Belmont and seventeen others being present. Of the New York Yacht club there were pres- ent s. Nicholson Kane, chairman of the Regatta committee: his associates, Chester Griswold, and Newbury Law ton, and J. V. S. Oddie, secretary of the club.
 As the stern of the craft emerged from the shop the private signals of the members of the syndicate were dis played on small fagstaffs upon her

ANOTHER CANAL TREATY
SECRETARY HAY REPORTED T(
 HAVE SUBMITTED ONE.
Negotiations Between Him and Lord uncefOte-D0ubt in Washington a to Whether n New Convention Has Been Drafted Although the Basis for One Has Undoubtedly Been Handed to the British Ambassador.

l London, May 6-The Associated Press has been officially notified that Lord
 Pauncefote has received from Secretary Hay the draft of new Nicaragua ca-
 nal treaty. It is underctood it advises neutrality.
 Washington, May 5.-It is learned from an authorative source that before Secretary Hay left here for the west he had several conferences with Lord Pauncefote relative to the basis of an
 other Isthmian canal treaty, and that
 an unofficial, written memorandum also
 was submitted to Lord Pauncefote on
 the subject.
 The ambassador has made known the
 general results of these conversations and of the memorandum to the author ities in London. and it is doubtless to this that illusion is made in the London dispatch.
 It is said, however, that the negotia- tion$ are so tentative and informal that they are not regarded as an official ex change or proposition. What they em body is not made known here, although it is understood they are chiefly an ex- position of the views held by United States senators as to the essential feat ures which should be included in treaty.
 While this Is not proffer of treaty it conveys to the British authorities what is considered essential by the sen- ators who control the ratification of any treaty which will be made. It also is learned indirectly from senators who have been consulted that among the chief features in the negotiations are neutralizing of the canal the United States alone undertaking to guarantee this neutrality and the admission of all on an equal basis with that of u e United States.
 Although as stated, these conferences and the written memorandum have been exchanged 1t Is not expected that there will be any further negotiations for London, which occurs on June D. or during his absence. The British em- oassy will remove to Newport as soon as the ambassador leaves MT! Gerard A. Lowther will be British charge d' af- faires during Lord Pauncefote's ab- sence

The street sprinkling, which is so
 much needed, lack of which has been so severely condemned by citizens and which has been heldyup by wordy dis
 cussion in the common council, especial ly in the board of aldermen, concerning the relative merits of carts and cars as sprinkling agents,at last bids fair to be
 started. Last night the aldermen voted to concur with the councilmen in
 awarding the control for sprinking
 streets in which there are car tracks to
 Forbes X Mortell, who were the lowest
 bidders The bids for the contract for
 sprinkling these streets were submitted
 and opened about two months ago, and although the work under the contract
 was to begin on March 15 the contract was held up an attempt was made to have the bids rejected and to instruct the director of public works to adver- tise. for new bids, specifying that the sprinkling be done by cars. This course was objected to by those who favored awarding the contract to the lowest bidder on the ground that if such spec ification was made only one firm could get the contract, the firm which con- trols the use Of car sDrinklers in New Haven, and that the firm could charge whatever it saw fit.
 The councilmen voted to award the job to the lowest bidder, while the all dermen voted to call for new bids A conference committee was appointed and this committee submitted two re- ports, majority report signed by the | councilmanic members and favoring the | award to the lowest bidder and mi | nority report signed by the aldermanic members Messrs. Moyle and Corcoran, favoring the calling for new bids. The | councilmen at their meeting few | nights ago adopted the minority re- l port, and the action of the aldermen last night makes concurrent action.
