FLAG OVER FORT SUMTER.
Why tha O. A. R.'a Bequeat la Not
Lik ly to b? Granted.
WAsnrxoTos, D.- C At the recent
Grand Army encampment ia this city tn
enthusiastic vet eras introduced a resolu
tion calling upon tbe Secretary of War
to hoist an Americwn fltg over Fort Sum
ter in Charleston harbor. In the excit3
ment of the moment the resolution wtnt
through wbhout opposition or investiga
tion. At the War Department to-day
the chief of engineers who havch rgc of
the government fortifications was ques
tioned on the subject. He says the
Secretary of War has not yet complied
with th resolution, nor is it likely that
he will. The army regulations provide
that thi Union flag" shall be di-played at
military posts and fortifi atiousHhat are
garrisoned or occupi d. Fort Sumter is
neither gmrisoued nor oecupied, and
therefore the Secretary tf War has no
uth-rrty to float a flag over it unless he
is prepared to gar.ison it with troops.
Jn further explanation of the non
appearar.ee of a fla at Fort Sumter and
other practically abandoned f rts the
engiueer officers say that serious foreign
complications might arise if the resolu
ti n adopted by the G A. 11 encamp
ment were carried out. For instance,
if the flag was hoisted over Fort Sumter
a foreign warship might visit the harbor
of l.har edon. Iu accordance with the
navl r gulutions of the world, the fpr
eign warship wou'd salute the American
flacr and exp ct a similar salute in return
The foreigner cou'd uot bi expected to
know ; hat Fort Surnter was unoccupied
and was simply floating its country's
flag a matter of sentiment. Not hav
ing his salute acknowledged, the" for
eigner would be justified iu charging this
country with discourtesy, and would,
havjn right to demand an expjanation.
Th-3 ordnance scrgvant sta'ioned there
cou'd hardly return a foreign-" warship's
salute with an old musket or revolver
which he might hnv-witti hint in his
qua: tors for his personal protection.
When the Secretary of War refers the
resolution to the Chief of Engineers he
will probably receive an answer contain
ing the substance of
the forefr--inir staie-

names of the citize s killed ar : City
Marshall, Charles Brown and George
(.'nbine. Cashier Thomas G. Ayer, of
the First National Bnk, Lucas Baldwin,
Thomas Reynolds and Alfred Diet are
seriously wounded.
It appears that the robbrrs entered the
village at 9 o'clock in the morning and
separate two of them going to Con
d.m's bank and four going to the First
Na ioual. At Condon's bink the men
were told by the cashier that the safe
was locked by a time lock and could not
be opened until 10 o'clock. They cov
t-red him with Winchesters and told him
they would wait. In the mcat.time the
other quartet went into the First
Ndional Bank and oflcred Cashier
Ayers to hand over the money ia the
vault. At first he refused and attempted
to reach his revolver. One of the gang
tired a shot at him. He then banded
over what money was in the safe and
after placing it in a bag the gang left
and tried to rejoin their confederates.
The alarm had been given and citizens
qui ky gathered and attempted to cap
ture the robber3, who were immediately
recognized as the Dalton gang of out
laws. The robberi fired at the crowd of
citizens and the shots we e returned
with effect. The fighting became gen
eral and bullets flew thick and fast.
When the smoke of battle cleared
away four of the Dalton gang were lying
dead on -the . ground, aud three citizens
were also kilted. Two of the robbers
were wounded and four citizens had re
crived serious bullet wounds One of
the gang succeeded in escaping, but a
mounted possi is in pursuit and it is
.certain that he will be captured and in
J all probability will dangle from the end
of a rope. The greatest excitement ex
ists and it may be that the wounded
members of the gang will also be
lynched.
THE DIRECT TAX FUND.
Complaint from a Virginian and the
Secretary's Reply.
Wajhixotox, D C' Assistant Secre.
tary Nett'etoo hat received several com
plaints that commissions are being de
ducted by State officers for making pay
ment from the direct tax funds. One
of these letters it from W. N. Fsrjrb in,
Eggbornville, Va. Replying to tin's let
ter Mr. Nettleton writes:
You say that the treasurer of your
county in refunding the direct tax is de
ducting 5 per cent as his commission,
and you ask if jou are not entitled to
interest on the tax being refunded.
In reply you are informed that cnly
the direct tx collected has been re
funded to the Stat' s. In Sta cs where
the tax had been collected from individ
uals it should be returned in full by the
State . authorities to the persocs from
whom it was collected, or to their heirs
or legal leprescutatives.
However, s-nce tho tax was phi I to
the States the Attorney General has re n
dered an opinion to the rffect that all
penalty and interest collected should a'so
be retu ned to those fro n whom it was
collected in the same way. The depart
ment is therefore preparing to refund to
the Governor of State the peoslty and
interest iu the mmc manner and under
the same conditions that the tax was
refunded It must be undcrs ood, how
ever,.lhat t'c interct ment oned is that
which was collo td villi the tax. and

never tire of listening to them, but behind
closed doors these shrill little notes are apt
to become a bit too sharp and soon rasp onr
nerves. However, we are often too severe
in our judgment on children, and inclined
too close on account of their petty misdeeds.
We ought to tear in mind that the sweetest
nuts Jie inside of bitter rinds. But the tot
here presented is for the, nonce on her good
behavior. The dress worn by this little
miss is a sky-blue erepor, which has the look
of being made of a single piece. The waist
and skirt are joined, andhe seam is hidden
by & ribbon belt. The corsage is crossed
over a pleated plastron. The right side is
ornamented with a ruffle which continne
down the side of the skirt and also around
the bottom of the skirt. Tbe dress should
be lined with thin silk or satinette.
Something in the tourist's shape is the
