WOULD KEEP FLAGS
Fourth Minnesota Veterans OPP.
posed to Returning EmbIems.

If a majority of the 400 members Of
the Fourth Minnesota regiment
give their consent. the flags cap
tured by them will be returned to their
original owners in the South other
wise they will remain on display in the
glass case at the state capitol. s5Ar41
For two hours yesterday the MEM
bers Of the Fourth Minnesota, in an
nual session at the city hall, discussed
the advisability of returning the flags,
which has been a debatable question
at every reunion for the past five years,
and finally decided to leave it to a.
vote of the regiment instead of decid-
Ing 1t at the regular reunion.
Letters will be mailed to each Of the
members and their answer, yes or no,
will decide the matter. They will be
returnable at the next convention. The
sentiment at the meeting yesterday
was in opposition to the return of the
flags.
In the election of officers, Gen. J. B.
Sanborn was again chosen president,
&. l.. Welman was named first vice
president, Capt. A. w. White, second
vice president and A. L. Brown, sec
rotary and treasurer.

l nope l will be excused for saving
that the Minnesota boys were the worst
disciplined lot with which 1 had any,
thing to do in the Philippines 1t was
the misfortune of the Minnesota boys

nghtlng commenced in the Philippines.
and l know from personal knowledge
that many Of the boys from the Min
nesota regiment left their companies
ana joined those who were being sent
TO the front. The records of my reg
iment will show that one company
which had but IS men was feeding 12O
men and many of them were from the
Minnesota regiment, boys who were. so
anxious to get into the thick of the
battle that they left their own regiment
and went with others"
Senator Moses Clapp said the Amer
lean citizen made the best soldier and
the American soldier the best citizen
He praised the work of the volunteers
in the Philippines and said our nation
was fortunate in having the best and
most willing fighters of any country
on earth.
Oar f. Reese spoke Of the high char
acter of the American soldier, and es-
pecially that of the volunteer. There
was no need, said Mr.. Reese, of a large
standing army in al country which
could ask for 10000 volunteers and
have applications from three times
that number.
Following the addresses a series of
stereoptican views of scenes in. the
Philippines was given, and as the ia
miliar views were thrown on the cam
vas the young veterans cheered in rec
ognition.
The camp fire last night closed the
reunion Of the Philippine veterans
which has been in session three days.
Parade Was a Feature.
One of the features of the reunion
was the parade yesterday morning.
The parade was made up of veterans of
the Civil war, the regular soldiers from
Fort Smelling and the young Philippine
veterans, and was one of the best pa
rades ever seen in the city Despite
the rain and threatening weather the
people who cheered the veterans of the
different wars as they marched through
the streets to the patriotic airs of the
various bands. One of the features of
the parade was the living flag" made
up by the school children of the city.
Ten mounted police, forty officers on
foot and fifty firemen, headed the pa
rade.
AT the afternoon business session of
the society officers were elected for the
ensuing year. A proposition to accept.
as members those volunteers who
started for the Philippines but never
reached the island, was defeated Gen.
King said many of the volunteers in
this class were soldiers from the East
ern states who used their every in
fuence to be sent back home, and he
did not believe they were entitled to
membership in the organization.
Many Of the delegates who have been
in attendance at the reunion will leave
for their homes this morning, but a
large number will remain in the city
and take advantage of the opportunity
to visit the state fair.

RATES FROM ST. PAUL
LOWER THAN TOIT
caulfield Explains Big Attendance at
Trans Mississippi Congress.

1t is cheaper TO travel out of st. Paul
than it is to come to it.
This is one thing Secretary John
Caulfield, Of the water board, learned
on his recent trip to Seattle as a st.
Paul delegate to the Trans Mississippi
congress which held it's annual con-
Nention in that city last week.
Il was surprised" said Mr.. Caulfeld,
who arrived home yesterday, "at the
big increase of delegates over the
number which attended the conven-
ton when it was held in st. Paul
year ago, and was informed that it was
due to better rates obtained by the
Seattle committee.
Il do not know what the exact rate
to st. Paul was, but 1 know it was on
the certificate plan and eventually re-
suited in the delegates being compelled
to pay practically the same figure as
when there were no low rates. AS a
result many went home disguised.
at cost me a trif1e more than $50, to
make the round trip to Seattle, and for
an extra So 1 had side trip thrown
in Of nearly 500 miles. There were 500
delegates at the Seattle convention
and think they got very nearly a one
fare rate.
1.-The convention was a success in
every way and was productive of much
good to the states interested. Next year
the convention will be held at st.
Louis"

McCieary Says Congress VIII
Consider the Subject.

Congressman ]. T. McCIeary has re-
turned from a trip to Hawaii. The
congressman is a member of the ap-
preparations committee. He said in re-
gard to the attitude of the next session
of congress toward financial and cur
rency questions:
Every careful student of American
affairs knows that this is the one great
civilized country in the world which
experiences financial panics. When 1
say financial panics, 1 mean different
thing from commercial depression. In
commercial depression men curtaiI
their business and do not care to use
capital.
In a financial panic, on the other
hand, men engaged in legitimate enter
prises and with their affairs in a per-
fectly solvent condition, are unable to
obtain at the banks the credit to which
they are accustomed and entitled.
Through this condition perfectly SOL
vent concerns are driven to the WALL
Thoughtful men all over the coun-
try realize that our financial system
has not yet been perfected. The diff
ficulty is that among financial experts
there is a marked disagreement as to
what should be done.
1T seems probable that certain
phases of the question will come up
in congress within the next year."
