Preservation of Colors Over Fort Sum-
ter When Surrendered in 1861.
The United States colors that waved over
Fort Sumter at the time of it's surrender to
the confederate army at Charleston, In
April 1861. and which were afterwaro
raised over that fort on its recapture by
Union forces in April, 1884, were spread
out on the floor of the reception room OF
the Secretary of War this morning for the
inspection of Secretary Taft and other Off
Gals. There are two of these flags. One
is garrison f1ag-the largest known to the
-servce-and the other is a post tiaS--some-
what smaller. In both flags the union IS
in fair state of preservation. bat the re-
manning portions are tattered and torn ana
are held together simply by mass or
threads.
These standards were kept in the posses
sion of Major (afterward GEM Anderson
who commanded the fort at the time of us
surrender up to the time of his death and
were since retained by his widow up 10 the
time of her death a few months ago In
the will of Mrs. Anderson it was provided
that the historic flags should be turned
over to the War Department for safe keep
ing and preservation. In accordance with
that provision of her will her daughters
who we're made her executors. transferred
the flags to Secretary Taft last Saturday,
as stated in Sundays Star.
Secretary Taft has directed tina. the flags
be wrapped up at their full length ana
placed in a frame case with glass 'front.'
as was done in the case of the United States
flag that was placed over the body of PreSI-
dent Lincoln when it was removed from
Washington and. like that flag, the Sumter
flags will be displayed in the reception room
of the Secretary of War. The Misses And
erson. who have presented these flags to
the government, are now residents Of this
city, as is also their cousin. Mr.. Larz

curing us to do a commercial business
is what imposes upon us the obligation
to do what we can to make just rates
and prevent discrimination. and this
we shall do. If this ameliOrates con-
ditions we shall be very glad. If it
does not it will not be in our power to
do more.
1T is possible that the time is now
ripe for the establishment of Aneri-
can competition with the Pacific Mail
between San Francisco and Panama.
Certainly the government in operating
the Panama railway will do nothing
to hinder it. Nevertheless it is pos
sible that the position of advantage
that the Pacific Mail has with respect
to Mexican and Central American
trade and its owners dock at Colon
may enable it to esta blish lines on
both sides which viii do all the
through business and fix the rates,
without enjoying any discrimination
in its favor by the Panama railroad.
If SO, the government could not pre-
vent this except by running a line
from Panama to San Francisco for
the purpose. which it cannot do"
