San Francisco.-The agreement be
tween the federal authorities and the
Schmitz party at Washington is ac,
ceptable to the Japanese of this city
according to statement issued by U
Cyama, secretary of the Japanese con.
sulate, as follows:
We have received no official infor-
nation regarding the matter, but If
the newspaper reports are correct, l
am sure that the Japanese people
as a whole will be pleased with the
terms. We have every confidence in
President Roosevelt in this matter.
We have insisted that the Japanese,
as a people, shall not be discriminate
ed against, and believe that this is
secured by the agreement reached in
Washington"

Newport, r. Naval officers and
mariners generally at this port fear
that the wrecked steamer Larchmont
will prove a danger 10 navigation un-
less she is soon broken up by the use
of gun cotton torpedoes. 1t is asserted
that the wreckage daily coming ashore
shows that she is breaking up slowly
and that this wreckage may cause
much damage to vessels, especially to
propellers and side wheels.
BY the use OF torpedoes the bodies
which are supposed to be contained in
the hull Of the vessel would be released.
The vessel lies in 10 1-2 fathoms of
water, 31-2 miles south-southeast of

AN INNOVATION.
Governor Guild viii Hold Reception In
Hall Of Flags.

Hall Of Flags.
Boston-Gov. Guild will make an in
novatlon this year in the custom OF
holding public reception in the state
house on Washington's birthday.
Instead of holding it in the execu-
tive chambers, he Will take his place
in the Hall OF Flags, with his staff ar.
rayed behind him. Behind the stan
will stand five color bearers, with
every form of flag that has been car
ried in battle by men of Massachu-
sets.
He announced this plan recently at
the dinner of the British Charitable
society, and incidentally told some
thing of the history of the design of
our flag, which was not generally
known.
"The first flag in line," he said, "is
that which was carried over New Eng
land troops on Gov. Dudley's eXpedl-
ton to Canada 1t is not now car
ried by any nation in the world, but
except that 1t has a little pine tree in
its corner, 1t is the same flag that
shone on the field of Cressy, at Agin,
court, at Poitiers, over Henry the
Eighth's armies, and on the Field
the Cloth of Gold-white, with the red
cross Of st. George.
Another flag that will be present
is the flag Of Bunker Hill. We are the
only nation, believe, which cele-
brates defeat
"An interesting flag is the miss.
ing link between the standard of Eng
land and the present stars and stripes
The stripes on the flag originated, not
in Betsy Ross's workroom, as so
many have supposed, but right here
in Boston. They were put on the
flag as a matter of policy.
"The first continental troops who
entered Boston carried the English
flag. Washington regarded himself as
a loyalist, and always referred to the
British sOldiery as the ministerial
troops But confusion resulted when
two forces were engaged against each
other and both carried the same flag,
and it was Israel Putnam who sug-
gested putting on the stripes typlfying
the 13 original colonies
"The first flag to bear them was un-
furled at Prospect Hill, now part of
Somerville, then part of Cambridge,
on Jan. 1, 1776. Even that flag had
in it's corner the blue ground and the
crosses Of st. Andrew and st. George.
The final substitution of the circle of
stars came later"

The shah and His Auto.

The following story Of the Shah is
going the rounds in Paris, where the
lightest deed of so frequent and pop
ular royal visitor is always followed
with interest.
Just before he became Ill, his Majes-

motor-car unpacked AS excited as q
child before a new toy, he insisted that
the car should be set going at once.
Now, motor spirit is not yet common

A Transported Church.

A small watering place in Austria
named Eichwald can boast on possess
ing most remarkable church. 1t was
first built by an Italian architect at
Venice, at the expense Of Prince Car
los Clary-Aldringen, who is a great
admirer Of italian architecture. When
1t was finished the church was taken
to pieces again, and packed in thou
sands of numbered cases for transpor.
tation to Eichwald. At this place in
Austria it was eventually rebuilt and
then made over to it's inhabitants as
free gift from the prince.

car that the city has ever seen. The
first locomotive that was ever posses
sed by the old st. Paul and Sioux City
Railroad, now part of the Chicago, st.

motor car, the combination Of loco
motive, baggage car and coach. This

NIT that the royal will could not be
obeyed. But the Shah clamored, and
the truth had to come out at last. No
body was led out for instant impale-
ment. Instead, says the London Stand
ard, with a reasonableness he may
have learned in Europe, his Majesty
condescended to inquire the nature of
the fluid required 1t was spirit. The
Shah frightened up at once. He had
lots of it-1S6S brandy specially pur-
veyed to the Imperial household. 1t

soon hummed along under the explo-
sive force Of alcohol.
