the insinuations that it had sought to
break faith with the boiler makers;
THE company will adhere strictly to
every provision in that agreement. 1t has

UNION JACK ON BUNKER HILL,
And Bost0nians Are sh0cked-Waved There
Last June ~, ISIS.

BosToN, Oct. 3.--Some OF the excess
sively patriotic Bostonians have been
very much shocked by the flying Of the
British flag from one Of the windows at
the top Of Bunker Hill monument in honor
OF the London Honourables.
The last time the flag Of Great Britain
was seen ON Bunker Hill was on June II,
ITS, when it foated over the famous battle
field at the close Of that bloody day. For
nine months the flag was kept flying, and
when Boston was evacuated II was hauled
down and taken to Halifax.
Even when the Prince Of Wales, now King
Edward VII. came here in 1850, and paid
visit to the monument, the British flag was
not displayed from the gray shaft So it
will be seen that the displaying Of the piece
OF bunting yesterday and to-day could not
fail to create comment.
John W. Lennett, superintendent Of the
monument, said he had received orders
from the secretary of the association, DR..
Francis H. Brown, to Get forth the British
flag on the arrival Of the Honorable Ar
tillery Company and keep it up until tho
departure Of the company.
DR.. Brown said the committee OF the
association met several weeks ago and de-
cided 1t would be only an act OF courtesy
on the occasion Of the visit Of the Honour
abes to hoist the British flag on the monu-
ment along with the Starr and Stripes.

LONDON. Oct. 3-Prime Minister Baliour
has no easy task in the matter Of selecting
a successor to Sir Michael Herbert a. the
British Ambassador at Washington. 1t so
happens that all the eminent men now
on foreign embassies are near the age Of
retirement, and it 10 desired to avoid, II
possible. the making Of an appointment
for comparatively brief term.
1t has been suggested that Lord Olrzon.
the Vioeroy Of India, who married Misc
Letter of Chicago, possesses some Of the
advantages which led to the selection Of
Sir Michael Herbert as the British Am
bassador at Warrington. Furthermore, it
10 thought that tho Governments would not
be unwilling toreplaos Lord Curson In India.
Ono Of tho chief oriticisms Of his ad-
ministration Of the government Of that
country. however, has been his utter lack
of democratic qualities, which would hardly
be a recommendation for the Washington
post The chances are in favor Of the
selection OF one Of the younger and more
promising men In the diplomatic service.
