INTERNATIONAL COMPLICATIONS.
The British Flag Was Hauled
Down by American at skayway.

Vancouver, B. c., June 28.-The
steamer Islander from SkayWay today
brings news of an exciting flag episode
at Skagway. E. S. Busby, Canadian
customs agent there, acting on IN
structin from Ottawa, hoisted the
British flag on pole above his Office:
Several incendiary remarks followed
the hosting of the ensign and OF the
following morning tall good looking
nan glanced up at the flag and stop
ping at the foot Of the staff took out
his pocket knife and cutting the hal
yards pulled down the flag, ran the
halyards through the block, rolled up
the colors and tossed them into a re-
cess of the building. The man was
George Miller, brother Of joaquin
Miller,..the California poet.
The Skagway News says: This in.
cident has been brewing for several
days. When the flag was put on the
depot Building the matter was called
to the attention Of G.. 4. Andrews,
United States deputy collector OF Gus
toms. Mr.. Andrews found nothing in
his Instructions which he thought JUS
titled the Canadian officers in raising
the British flag unless the Stars and
Stripes waved above it. He according
ly called on Mr.. Busby and had a talk
with him IN regard to the proposed
innovatio Mr.. Busby showed him a
letter from the chief customs official
of Canada which stated in substance
that as American customs officials
operating on Canadian soil in condi-
tions corresponding to his (Mr: Bus
by's Office were permitted to fly the
flag Of their country, he was entitled
to The same right and to go ahead
with the flag raising.
con the hypothesis that the Cana
dian officials would not go on record
in such statement which was not a
fact, Mr.. Andrews concluded that MI.
Busby as within his rights and accord
ingly took no action in the matter.
The question which bids fair to
assume international proportions as
soon as the news Of its can reach
Ottawa and Washington is being dis
cussed today with the mass Of senti-
ment in favor of the man who hauled
down the .fag on this strip Of land
which the United States has occupied
since the days Of the transfer in 1867.
The Canadian officials have gradually
encroched upon the American govern
ment5; now By leaps and bounds, the
Canadian customs house advances to-
ward the tide water from Tagish to
Bennett, then to Log Cabin and lastly
Summett, and when the customs flag
was hoisted at Skagway it is small
wonder that some John Brown would
not wait for action from Washington,
and cut down the flag.

a Rival Of Edison.

Mr. Stronger, Of telephone fame,
has completed storage battery that
may rival Edison's invention and
share with, the Wizard Of Monto Park
the promised reyolutionizing tot
motor power. It is stated that a
battery Of one hundred ampere capa-
city was charged ffty-three days ago,
and on being tested yesterday it was
found that there had been no loss OF
power whatever. This is feat that
has never before been accomplished,
it is said, although it:has been sought
after during the pastsffty years BY
many electric clans; including Mr: Edi-
son. himself
The new substance which Mr..
Stronger discovered to take the place
OF India rubber in the battery has also
been tested and found to be impervious
to all chemical action Of the battery.
AS one discovery leads to another,
We also learn, from the New York Sun,
that remarkable thing in connec-
ton with Mr.. Strowger,s experiments
ing to perfect this new composition
was his discovery Of new gas which
can be iquifed by pressure and re-
stored to gas by liberation. Mr.
Stronger says he has submitted this
gas to some distinguished analytical
chemists, who now assure him that
there Will be no danger.in handling
the gas under pressure. Mr.. Stronger
has Illuminated his residence with his
new gas and is also using it in por-
table lamp and an automobile burner.
In making the gas with small ap-
paratus be says there is no residue,
but when made on large scale there
is by-product Of such value that a
person can get back all the expenses
of making the gas.
Wherefore, it would appear, that
Mr.. Stronger is promising to revolu-
tionize both motion and illumination.
LET the good work 90 on.

LEST YOU REGRET.

He moveth to town and leayeth the.
old farm. There amt no money IN
farming-too much hard work and no
cash. y
He seeth the merchant handling sill
yer dollars, and forthwith concludes
that the merchant hath a good time,
an easy, soft snap, staying in his store
all the day long out of the sunshine,
and he forthwith concludes to put him
=up:a store: and live easy and grow rich
upon ease and soft snaps.
And he doth put him upa store, and
sure enough he doth handle little
more silver; but woe is him, for the
rents must be paid, and he doth also
have to live, and his sons and daugh-
tiers needs must be swell" to be in
the swim" like the bankers daugh-
ter and Miss Primm. And then also
he doth find that the goods have to be
paid for, and the margin of profit
prove small thing. And the things
he used to have to eat, such as sweet
potatoes and the many other goods
things thathe took from mother earth,
all have to be paid for in hard cash.
And so it doth soon appear to him
that the mere handling Of cash hath
no lasting pleasure in it, and he doth.
find that his vexations and expenses
doth multiply at great rate. And he
mourns in spirit and is full of trouble.
for his cash capital is fast slipping
away from him, and he wishes he was
back on the dear old farm once more.
But, alas! he hath not the money to
buy it back again, and he soon real
ICES that because of his folly he will
soon have to begin all over again, but
this time as renter.
And so we have spoken a proverb.
Be ye not deceived by the glimmer Of
the silver dollars in the drawer of the
merchant man, for, verify, the mer-
chant doth also have his troubles,
and of the doth not know how he will
pay his bills. And / say unto you
that, after all, man doth mainly put
forth his energies that he may have
food to eat, and when thou hast solv-
ed the food problm on the farm, then
thou art wise, and soon the dollars
that thou gainest from the products
of the farm will cling to- thee and
abide with thee; for verify say unto
you that the merchant. the clerk and
all the rest of those who produce moth
ing have to spend the bulk of their
earnings for the very articles OF food
which thou canst produce on the farm
if thou hast the brains and the will to
do. sit.-B. G. Sewer in Tennessee

MR.. BRYAN AND Mr.. CRISP.

Senator Bryan has not deemed SEN
tor McLaurin's charge that he lBry-
anl opposed the late Chas. y. Crisp
for the speakership because Juoge
Crisp was an ex-Contedefate, as
worthy of notice. At all events ne
has had nothing to say about 1T, not
withstanding Senator McLaurln, s
charge was made something like two
weeks ago. Meanwhile the south is
full of ex-Confederate soldiers and
their sons who would like to hear from
Mr.. BRYAN a denial that he permitted
sectional prejudice to influence INN

nah Morning News. ,,,s,1
IS IS perhaps unfortunate that MI.
BRYAN has not taken notice OF NE.
McLaurin,s charge, = though the
attement is not original with Mr. Nc
Lanrin. But we need not wait for MI.
Bryan,s denial as there is other eyi-
dence at hand and from a sonrce that
is more friendly to McLaurln than to
Bryan. The Washington Post, an IN
.dependent paper, is. quite severe on
Bryan as usual thing and.leans to.
wards McLaurin, yet The Post IS Just
enough to say -,
Senator McL.aurin. is most unjust
Wf1en he accuses Mr. Bryan Of refus-
ing to vote for Nj! Crisp for speaker
Of the house because the latter was a
southern man. In the Democratic
caucus Mr.. Bryan voted for MT;
Springer, probably because ne had
studied law under the direction OF the
Illinois candi idate and had been close
ly. associated with him In politics.
After MI. Crisp received the Demo
cratic caucus nomination Mr.. Bryan
voted for him in the. house, the only
serious protest coming from the Hon..
George Fred. Williams Of Massachu-
setts, who tearfully conducted bolt,
because Of his fear that Mr, Crisp
was not sound on the tariff question
and was liberally tinctured with the
theories Of free silver. Mr. Crisp at
tested to his regard for Mr.. Bryan by
assigning him Ito position on the
ways and means committee and giving
him many opportunities to come to
the front during his career IN the
house, all Of which the Nebraskan
took advantage Of. AS Mr.. Bryan saw
lit to engage in the South Carolina
political rumpus, he is a legitimate
subject for discussion, but Mr. Nc
Laurin was not at all happy In his
hunt for the gentleman's 's vulnerable
point.
It is evident that The Post does not
speak unadvisedly but only after an
investigation into the subject and us
statement may be accepted ssas conclu-
siye. While Bryan's attitude towards
Mr.. Crisp has nothing to do with Nc
Laurin's desertion Of the Democracy
it is we'll enough that The Posts de-
tense Of Bryan should be given publ
cation in the paper in which McLan-
rms Statement first appeared.-The
