Chicago, Sept. 30.—The Irish flag was
hauled down from tho electricity build
ing by James Hunt, one of Colonel Mil-
let’ii men. Colonel Millet has charge c?
the national colors at the exposition.
Millet explained that no Rags were
m up at the expomuon whose nation
was not recognized an a nation,
said it would lie fully aa appropriate to
flaunt an anarchists’ flag as that of Ire
land.
“The Irish flag has boon used for dec
orative purposes,” said Mr. Millet, “but
it has never lieeu hoisted on any flag-
staffs. This department will not put up
the flag unless it is ordered to do so by
the exjiosition officials.”
Chief Barrett, of the department
electricity, was a very indignant man.
“I ordered my men to run up Uie flag,”
said he, “in honor of Irish day. We
have so many Irish-Americmi citizens
here I thought it was nothing more than
right and courteous that this recognith
of their colors be given them.”

AGAINST HEAVY SHIPS.
London, Sept. 30.—Lord Armstrong,
speaking at the animal meeting of the
Armstrong and Mitchell company, which
built the tmttleahip Victoria, sunk in
collision with the Camperdown,
tended that the argumenta against buihl-
ihg immense ironclads are unassailable
and hold as jyo«>d against gigantic cruisers
as agaiast gigantic battleships.
The strength and stability of the Cam-
perdown’s prow nun were insufficient to
enable her to striko an effective blow
without ncril to herself. The same de
fects probably exist in other rams. The
life of a battleship is far too valuable to
be «?NV«d on the use of her rum i»«
sides, a )>ig battleship is too unwiddly to
give full effect to her ram.
Lord Armstrong advocated building
vessels especially for ramming, not too
large, and free from the costly compli
cations of lwittleshijw. Personal dash on
the part of the commander would be the
principal quality needed in handling
such a rammer.
The occasional loss of such an inex
pensive vessel would l»e of small import
ance compared with the loss of a great
battleship like the Victoria.

It is also true that many works, which

and with some it ia a question whether
they will not close again. While money

Washington, Sept. 80.—Tho passage
of unconditional rejieal de;lends entirely
upon Senators V«x>rhees and Gorman
If these two leaden are determined thnt
there shall be no compromise, the bill
will pass without amendment. The sil
ver senators themselves recognize this to
be true. The state of mind which they
are in, means that they know that tte y
must yield to the majority, and that the
majority will have whatever it insists
on. The signs that they recognise the
weakness of their position is numerous,
and their eagerness for compromise and
their ill nature are not the only indica
tions that they see the hand writing
the wall. In their private conversation
they sometimes admit thnt their cause is
hopeless.
Senutors repeat what seem to be
strange utterances, coming as they do
from men who assert that they never
will yield so long as they havo physical
strength to sit in tho rhamlwr and make
motions ami speak. For example, Sena
tor Teller is rejtorted to have said, not
many days ago, that they recognize the
fact that the country demands a vote
and Uiat a rote must be taken eventu
ally. Senator Wolcott is re]Kirted to
have snid that he wished that
could persuade Teller that fili
bustering is not effective, and Senator
Teller Is said to hare said the name thing
concern*.ng Wolcott.
Senator Vest is alarmed at the numer
ic telegrams and letters he is receiving
from Kansas city and other important
towns and cities in his state. Senator
Bntler, of South Carolina, nroliably en
tertains rational views on this subject,
but he cannot he returned to the senate
