of the presentation of the battle-ling proposl-

letter from Adjutant-General Dium and Its
Indorsement by Secretary Kndlcott :
WASIII.NOTON , April 30. Hon. W. C. Kndl-
cott , Secretary of War : Sir 1 Imvo the
honor to state that there nro now In this
olllcu , stoied In one of the nttlc rooms of the
building , a number of union Hags captured
In notion , but recovered on the /all ot the
confederacy and forwaided to \vnrdepart
ment for sate Keeping , together with a num
ber of conledcniU ) Jlags which the fortunes
of war placed In our hands during the Into
civil war. While , In the past , favorable action
has always been taken on application , prop
erly supported , for the return of union flaits
to organizations icprcsentlng the survi
vors of military regiments ID the service of
the government , 1 beg to submit it
would bo a graceful act to anticipate future
requests of thin nature and venture to sug
gest the propriety of returning all the ( lags
( union and confederate ) to the authorities of
the respective states In which the regiments
which bore the colors as were erganlred , for
such llhftl disposition as they may determine.
While in all of the civilized nations of the
old world trophies taken In wars against for
eign enemies have been carefully preserved
and exhibited as proud mementoes of the
nation's military dories , wise and obvi
ous reasons have { always excepted from the
ride evidences of past Internecine
troubles which , by appeals to arbitra
tion ot the bword , have disturbed
the peaceful march of the people to its des
tiny. Over twenty years have elapsed since
the termination of the late civil war. Many
prominent lenders , civil and military , of the
late confederate states , nro now honored rep
resentatives of the people in the national
councils , or In other eminent positions lend
the aid of their talents to a wise administra
tion of the affairs of the whole country , and
the people of the seveial states composing
the union are now united , treading n bioader
road to a glorious future. Impressed with
these facts , 1 Imve the honor to submit the
suggestion made in this letter for the careful
consideration it will receive at your hands.
Very truly yours ,
K. C. DituM.
Adjutant-General.

Governors Give Their Opinions.
NKW YOHK , June 17. ( Special Tele
gram to the BIE. | In the dispatches to the
World from the governors of various states it
appears that all northern governors heard
from earnestly disapprove the president's
wish to return rebel flazs. Governor Gor
don , of Gporula. regarded the first order as
an additional evidence of icstored concord ,
but would not have the flags restored at the
cost ot renowol estrangement. Governor
Hughes , ot Arkansas , had not considered the
matter. Governor Sony , of Alabama , and
Governor Lee , of Vlrglnla.approvo the order ,
and Governor Scales , of North Carolina ,
thinks the return the best possible disposi
tion of the Hags. Governor McBmery , of
Louisiana , thinks the return of the flags
would still further strengthen the bonds of
the nation , and says when received , the oc
casion would be made one of rejoicing.
Local interviews and dispatches from all
parts of the country shows that , notwithstand
ing the president has recindcd his rebel Hag
order , the indignation of old soldiers has not
been mitigated , and it seems only to excite
amusement and contempt of democrats. The
feeling of union veterans of all shades of po
litical opinion Is one of pity and contempt.
The Fooling at St. Iiouls.
ST. Louis. Juno 17. [ Special Telegram to
the BEE. | There was considerable excite
ment here yesterday over the speech of Gen
eral Falrchlld , At Harlem , condemning Pres
ident Cleveland for returning confederate
flags to southern states. "The action ot the
president Is very much to bo regretted , " said
General Grler. "It will Interfere with our en
campment. 1 am afraid , particularly. If the
president comes out here , It will create much
feeling. I nm afraid that the president and
the Grand Army could not come together in
the name town. "
"Oh , lot him come here it he wants to , "
aald General Condolo. "Where we want to
talk about this thing Is at the ballot box.
This Is the best thing that ever happened for
the republican party. "
"Yes-sald General Grler. "It means the
downfall nf democracy. You could not
elect Cleveland to any office In this country
now , and they'll find they can't elect his suc
cessor on the democratic ticket , cither. "
Robert T. Lincoln's Views.
CHICAGO , June 17. [ Special Telegram to
( ho HER. | The attention of ex-Secretary
Lincoln was this morning called to a state
ment In one of the morning papers to the ef
fect that ho had , toward the close ot his ad
ministration of affairs ot the war depart
ment , approved n precisely similar sugges
tion from General Drum , in regard to these
tings. Ho said : " 1 do not remember any
action of mine respecting the rebel flags In
the war department , I certainly never seri
ously considered , nor had In my wind any
Idea of approving any action respecting
those flags which would give anyone the
right to suppose that 1 thought the lapse of
11 mo had made the rebellion less to bo repro
bated now than it was when the war was
going on. These captured rebel Hags found
their natural rusting place at the close of
the war , and , having become rotten ,
and ruined In the succeeding years , should ,
In my opinion , bo permitted to disappear In
dust where they are. Certainly , asl think ,
the government should not take such action
concerning them as would seem to approve
If ! and stimulate a sentiment ot veneration
toward these captured rebel Hags as relics of
a defeated patriotic cause. This would bo
one result of returning them to the govern
ors of the southern states. Again , It was
the patriotic theory in the war that the
southern states were not In the rebellion , but
they were only out of their political rela
tions to the union through the turbulence ot
a majority ot tholr slave holding citizens.
Returning these tlags to the governors of
those states Is a governmental repudiation ot
that theory. Such action would also have
a tendency to teach our children
in the north that the principles for which
their fathers foucht nro not so much more
deserving ot respect and veneration than
those Involved In the rebellion , as wo have
wlslu'd to teach them. Them Is no need ot
lighting the war ot the rebellion over again ,
but then ) Is equally llttlo need of IU being
proclaimed by the government that It was
not wholly In the right In lighting the rebel
lion twenty-live year * ago , and that the re
bellion was not a wicked attempt to operturn
a great fiee republic. "
An Interesting Scrap of History *
WAsmxaTONi Jiity ? R [ Special Tele
gram to the BKK.I THe Star to-nislit has
this : "The following scrap of history Is of
Interest In connection with the biUtlo flag In
cident and the attitude taken by the Grand
Army men of Iowa In relation to the visit ol
the president to St. Louis. In September ,
1SS3 , the famous Crocker's Iowa brigade , of
which General Bclknap was president , held
a reunion at Cedar Kaplds , la. At the re
union , among the stirring events was
enacted a scene that was widely commented
upon and applauded In Iowa and neighborIng -
Ing states. By special arrangement General
Govan , of Arkansas , the ex-con federate
whoso troops had captured the Hag of the
Eleventh Iowa regiment at Atlanta after
a desperate struggle , was present at the
reunion and formally returned this
hard won Hag to the Iowa regiment
from whom It was captured. Its colonel , A.
J. baunders , of Davenport , la. , delivered an
alTcctlng speech of acknowledgement and
thanks in the presence of n brigade of vete
rans. Subsequently a committee of three
was appointed to secure contributions from
thu vctcinns of this regiment for the pur
chase of a goid-hended cane for General
Govan , Tills was duly accomplished , and
the cane , handsomely engraved , wns sent to
the confederate recipient Tills llnic has been
exhibited at .subsequent reunions and creates
unbounded enthusiasm. "
Joyfully the Flag W.iven.
TOPEKA , Kan. , Juno 17. Governor Martin
to-day sent the followlnc order to Adjutant
General Campbell : "Tho fact that the battle
lings captured by the heroic soldiers of the
union are to bo retained In the national capi
tal Is cause for rejoicing and congratulations
by all loyal men. You will cause the Ha ; ; of
the republic to bo raised on the state house
as n token of the pride and pleasure with
which the great soldier state of the union re
ceived the news.

ANOTHEH STAGE PASSED.
The Coercion Hill Goes Through
Committee.
Lo.vnoy , June 17. When debate was
resumed on the crimes bill this evening
Henry Kowier ( liberal ) moved an amend
ment requiring that before enforcing clause
six ( which deals with proclaiming danger
ous associations ) the consent of both houses
of parliament be obtained. This , he said ,
the most dangerous clause of the bill , ough t
to be resisted to the utmost. Balfour op
posed the amendment , saying that It would
only lead to a waste of time in parliament.
After discussion by Holmes and Gladstone.
Dillon declared that the belief was universal
In Ireland that the bill was mainly directed
against the National league. Fowler's
amendment was rejected 333 to 171.
Several more amendments having boon
disposed of , the chairman put the
question whether the clause should
stand as apatt of the bill. Sir Charles Hus-
sell entreated the house to consider gravely
the objectionable character of the clause.
While ho was speaking the hour of 10 ar
rived. The ministerial benches rapidly
tilled , the members pacing In from the lob
bies. The Pamollites simultaneously arose
and left the house , the chairman twice call
ing upon them to icsunie their seats. Amid
great confusion a division wns ordered. The
clause was adopted 333 to IT' . The Glad-
stonlans who went out returned atter
voting but a division having been de
clared Immediately arose in a body
and withdrew among conservative cheers
and laughter. The lemalning clauses were
put and carried without comment and the
bill passed the committee stage , the conserv
atives again cheering. The report stage of
the bill is lixed for the 27th lust
After division the Gladstonlans returned
to hear the result and then left the house
altogether , the majority having paired for the
remainder of the evening. Not a single
Parnelllte voted. All left the precincts ol
the house Immediately. The unionists voted
solidly with the government. As the union
ists were the only occupants of the opoositlnn
benches after division. Chamberlain , Lord
Hartlngton and Mr. Ileneugo were sitting
isolated on the front bench. Many conservatives
vatives crossed to the opposition benches
and sat down. Major Saunderson was
loudly cheered on taking Ilealy'g seat. Qulel

that the Parnellitcs were guilty of

The crown prince began to suffer fiom

TUB FISHERIES QUESTION.
Discussion on the Matter In the Ca
nadian Commons.
OTTAWA , Ont , Juno 17. A discussion
took place in the commons to-day over the
fisheries question niislng out of the appro
priation lor the protection of thu service.
Mr. Ellis , of St. John , said It was time the
house came down to a common sense view
of this matter. It was evident that the
British government felt that Canada had
gone far onough. It was utterly absurd to
stand upon a treaty passed seventy years
ago which excluded Americans fiom
puichaslng bait or coal when they
wanted It. The government ought to
tnko the house Into Us conlidenco nnd
state the exact position of affairs. Sir John
Maedonald said the government , .stood on thn
treaty ot 1HIS , and the United States had
iccognlzed Its existence In 1S54 andlSTL by
the terms of the treaty of Washington. He
said there were only two questions on which
there could be any difference of opinion or
contention. The first was the headland
question. The government adheres to the
stand that the threo-mllo limit Is
reckoned from headland to headland
and not following the coast The
other question was that ot bait The govern
ment liold that a lishlng vessel was one
thing and a trading vessel another , and they
could not change their character by securing
trading permits trom American customs col
lectors. Ho added "Her malcstv's govern
ment has lully sustained us. There has
not boon the slightest expression of disin
clination to sustain the legal right of
Canada. Meanwhile , correspondence is going
on of which we were duly informed. I be-
llevo the government of President Cleveland
is extremely friendly to Canada , extremely
anxious to extend commercial iclatlons with
Canada , nnd the Canadian government IH
doing all it can to foster that ttellnif , " The
appropriation was then passed.

Pottle , engrossing clerk ot the assembly of
IBS ) . While the geneial railroad bill was In
his possession that year ho was approached
by Sharn. who wanted , some words inserted
In the bill. Pottlo thinks these words were
"Broadway and Fifth avenue railroad. " "Ho
Bald If I would Insert the words ho would go
down stairs and deposit 85,000 with Clerk
Baldwin. When I.refused Sharp offered to
give me 85,000 If I would bring him the orig
inal copy of tlio bill. 1 told him I could not
ontei tain the proposition. " In reply to a
question Pottle said thu roainn he had not
exposed this attempt at bribery was because
he did nut want to bo mixed up In any
