FIRST FLAG OF
 THE CoNFEDERACY.

The first flag of the Confcderacy has been given to an enthusiastic member of the Sophie Bibb Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy.
 This very valuable relic of the war was the property of Mir. John Spann of Hayneville whose father. Captain James Spann was captain of company in the 3rd regiment, General Wade Hampton s legion. The flag was first unfurled over Fort Sumter. It Is shreds now but seems to have been made of heavy white silk. On one side is embroidered in green silk. a palm tree that is in quite a good state of preservation and on the other star in yellow silk Is still intact. while some dim lettering as far as can be made out now appears to form the sentence "Liberty and Our Home.'' The silver tip on the staff is perfect and the silver cord and tassle Is all there.

MORE STRIKES AT RUTLAND

Rutland, May 21.-There were two
more strikes in Rutland yesterday of
the machinists and helpers. The
Lincoln Iron Works and the plant
OF the F. r Patch Manufacturing
Co., stopped work in the morning at 8
O'CLOCK. The men previously had
stated NJ grievance 10 their employ
ers and the strike is believed to be
largely sympathetic with the one at
the Howe Scale Works.
The mum Ger of men now on strike
In Rutland is over 600. The men
quit work both places at the sound of
the whistle. The Lincoln Iron Works
voluntarily raised their employees pay
II per cent less than a year ago and
relations with the men have been
very pleasant since. President John
N. Woodtin said that the Lincoln
plant would probably be closed today
unless the men returned.

Is Hopeful Of Peace In

FIRST REMITTANCE
Sent To St. Vincent From
bank Of England

London, May 21.-Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain, speaking at Birming-
ham, aaid he was hopeful of peace IN
South Africa, but was not sanguine.
The British government S intentions
we're not altered. They did not seek
revenge against the Beers, but the
policy in South Africa would not be
changed. He declared that the
people of England were trustees In
the war, and never again would there
be renewal OF the conflict. 1t was
understood in London that the ques-
ton Of peace rests largely weth Gen.
Delarey.
An independent Transvaal would be
as dangerous "a an independent par
lament in Dublin. There we're on
the other hand transcendent poSsibili
ties of a federation of the British race.
The days are now for great empires,
not for little states.

St. Patterns, Limited, owner OF the

mine passed off without any special
incident.

BY their action last evening in call
ing upon First Constable w. H Bu'
chanan to file a new bond, without
saying or doing anything in regard to
their recent vote concerning that
officer the board Of aldermen retreated
very gracefully from their former
stand and virtually acknowledged they
had been wrong This leaves tne
matter Just where it wa about SIX
weeks ago when they first took up the
matter. The resignation OF John
Nicholson, who hao oeen nominated
by Mayor Melcher as first constable
and confirmed as such by the board OF
aldermen tended to pave the way for
this settlement. All that now re-
mains for Mr.. Buchanan is 20 file the
bond as called for.
Before the meeting last nignt
Mayor Melcher and the board held a
conference in the mayors private
office with Former Mayor j. W:
Gordon, who has been acting as special
counsel to Mayor Melcher.
The following letter was was sent to
Mayor Melcher yesterday by one OF

ard A. Hoar:
Barre, VT, May 20, 1902.
To the Honorable:
The City Council Of the
City Of Barre, w.
AS Attorney for w. ii
Buchanan, l respectfully request that
you will approve of the bond, now or
file in the city clerks Office Of the city
of Barre, Of W. H. Buchanan, con
stable and collector OF said city o
Barre, i: you have not already by i'm
plication done so. The suritles or
the bond as it now is can justify,
think beyond any question, for from
$40, 900 to $50, 900, and l have beel
informed that you have stated to som
OF our leading citizens that II tina
bond had been filed In the first place
it would have been entirely satisfac
tory to your honorable board.
Our courts, as W, II as other court
in the United States, have coustrue
laws similar to the section In our chal
ter which applies to the furnishing Q
bond by constable, to mean tina
the city council should do certal
things, which by reason of some misur
derstanding, have not been done b'
fore the constable is required TO tile
bond but, however, Mr.. Buchanan ha
anticipated your action in this matte
and has filed bond which we thin
is all that can be called for.
Hoping that YOU will remember tt
Golden Rule, as MIR. Buchanan has a
ready been to great expense, trouol'
and loss of time, and do what Is rlgf
in this matter, l am
