THE RED, RED FLAG
Of
Passion, the Blood
Flag of War.
Red
Chicago, May 1.—A highly sen-
sational act occurred in the May
day celebration here. It was the
seizure of the sanguinary emblems
carried by three paraders in the
immense procession, which was
the feature of the day's celebra-
tion.
The police issaed strict orders
that no red flags or any other
anarchistic draperies would be
>ermitted in the parade. At the
lead of two dozen men from the
Arbeiter Zeitang office a flaming
red flag was carried. Another
it tie bunch of men, known as the
debating clubs Nos. 1 and 3, ear-
ned red.
The red flag division carrying
anarchistic emblems caught the
sye of Superintendent Hubbard,
who immediately resolved to cap
ture them. As the procession
approached Madison street on
Clark, Capt, Shea and a dozen
oentral station detectives forced
their way through the immense
crowd which lined the streets,
and accompanied by a dozen offi-
cers in uniform, took positions
at the corner of Madison and
Clark streets. As the de-
bating clubs came up with the
fierce flags floating in the breeze,
officers broke into the ranks and
seized the men carrying the for-
bidden flags. The crowd fell back
to allow the officers and prisoners
a passage way and the latter were
unceremoniously hurried into
waiting patrol wagons, the crowd
which lined the streets mean
while cheering wildly. A few
minutes later the Arbieter Zeitung
employes reached the corner.
The officers quickly seized the
bearer of the red banner. He
made a little show of resistance,
but was quickly and forcibly plac-
ed into the patrol wagon.
A young man with a brieht
crimson sash made an insulting re-
mark and quickly joined his com-
rades in the wagon. When the
men and flags were taken from
the ranks it did not cause any seri-
ous commotion in the procession,
The men and fiery draperies were
taken to Chief McClaughey's of-
fice, where the latter read them a
severe lecture and said it was not
his purpose to prosecute them,but
the law must be obeyed and the
police regulations strictly lived up
to. The men stated they were in
nocent ot any wrong-doing, die
not know that they were violating
any law %or violating any police
orders.
any doubt that Mr. Palmer is lis-
tening to the sweet music of the
)ees. Grave doubt is expressed
that he would have distracted the
attention from Cleveland in the
llinois convention and made the
selection of "an eastern man" so
much dependent upon the judg-
ment of other delegations had he
contemplated an earnest and per-
sistent fight for Cleveland.
This judgment in favor of
Cleveland which seems so ready
n advance to yield to other judg-
ment gives promise of but faint
support, and it is this that makes
be opponents of Cleveland more
hopeful.
The situation in which Mr. Har
rison is liable to find himself
placed (before the Minneapolis
convention is regarded by many
of the best informed politicians
in congress as fully as dangerous
as the condition which will oon-
front Mr. Cleveland at Chicago.
The almost unanimous vote by
which Colorado defeated an
endorsement of the pres-
ident is not regarded
as of very great importance ; but
from those states which were con-
tent merely to praise the republi-
can administration in a Pickwick-
ian way what Mr. Harrison need
ed was positive instructions "for
him. It is well known to be the
plan of the opponents of the
president to secure compliment-
ary resolutions for the adminis-
tration which includes the whole
party, but to prevent instructions
for Harrison. Their plan is to
keep as many delegations as pos
sible uninstructed, and to awake
hopes in the breasts of all possi-
ble candidates and dark horses.
The failure of Ohio, Maine, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York and Colorado to instruct for
him is what the opposition have
been looking for, and it is claim-
ed today that his oandidacy is in
a much worse position than some
of his supporters appreciate.
The belief that such shrewd
men as Reed, Quay, Piatt, Clark
son, Alger, and many others from
botn the east and the west, whose
names may not be mentioned, are
working earnestly and constantly
to secure Mr. Harrison's defeat is
causing politicians to look seri-
ously upon the matter, and lo en-
tertain doubts of Mr. Harrison's
renomination.
Oen. Alger is relied on to get
the southern delegates from Har
rison as he got them from Sher-
man at the last national conven
tion. There are many men at the
capitol who venture the opinion
that the republican candidate will
be McKinley or Reed, and that
the democratic candidate will be
Whitney or Gorman.

THE PRESIDENTIAL OUTLOOK
Washington, May 1—There is a
deep interest here in the little
batch of state conventions held
lately, but the action of these con-
ventions has not thrown much
ight upon the all-important ques
tion of presidential nominations.
It may be very gratifying to both
Mr. Harrison and Mr. Cleveland
to have nice things said about
them, but the average politician
undertands that this does not
count for much in the national
convention.
The action of the Illinois con-
vention was not all that the Cleve-
land convention could desire.
The situation of Mr. Cleveland,
as understood by the politicians,
is such as to make his success de-
pend entirely upon the determina
tion with which the delgations
from the jCleveland states insist
upon his nomination. It is felt
to be probable that if those states
favoring Mr. Cleveland should
send delegations to the national
convention who would vote for
the ex-president from the jump
and show that they intended to in
sist on his nomination in spite of
New York, he would probably
get the nomination.
A merely sentimental and timid
support will hardly dbunt in this
fight. The Hill people are going
to the convention to win, with
dash if possible. If Cleveland
can get all the votes at once that
are earnestly for bim he may have
such a lead as to make the Hill
support insignificant. Bat the
action of the Illinois convention,
following that of Indiana, does
not give promise of the sort of
support that is necessary ander
the circumstances.
If Cleveland forees are divided
up between Palmer, Gray, Boies.
Patterson, Campbell and severs
other possible favorite sons on
the first ballot, or even the earn
estness of the support of the dele-
gations of Cleveland is tempered
by a willingness to abandon hi
as hopeless and to strive for the
nomination of their several fsvor
ite sons, it will place him at a dc
cided disadvantage in the conven
tion.

CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
Washington, May 1.—Notwith-
standing the time lost in adjourn-
ments from Thursday and Friday
of eaoh week until the following
donday, the senate is disposing of
business with a rapidity in marked
oontraet to the house. The two
regular appropriation bills which
have passed the latter body re-
main to be acted upon by the sen-
ate. One naval appropriation bill
will doubtless be disposed of
within ten days and the other pen-
sion bill is parposely withheld in
order to obtain a clearer insight
nto the needs of the pension ba
reau. A resolution in relation to
the Chootaw Indians is unfinished
business, and may be further de-
bated tomorrow. When it is out
of the way the bill for the protec-
tion of aliens will be taken up. A
discussion under this head prom
ises to be interesting, because it
will doubtless touch apon the kill-
ing of the Italians at New Or-
leans, and also involve a free ex-
pression of opinion apon proper
definitions of the functions of na-
tional and state governments. The
desire of friends of particular
measures to advance bills commit-
ted to their charge is becoming
more and more marked.
There are three measures preps
ing apon the attention of the
house for early consideration,
which is arged on various special
grounds. These are the Bryan
free binding twine bill, the Hatch
anti-option bill and the sundry civ
il appropriation bill.

SOME COOKE COUNTY FACTS.
It was created in 1848 out of
Fannin county, and was named in
honor of William G. Cooke.
It is almost exclusively a farm-
ing country, but is well situated
for stock raising.

equally divided black waxey, san-
dy and red sandy. About one-
half the county is timber and the
balance prairie with streams run-
ning through it, on which can be
fonnd excellent timber and water.
Red River borders the county
for sixty miles.
Elm fork of the Trinity, Clear
creek and other streams flow
through it.
The county has an area of 933
square miles, equal to 597,120
acres.
It had in 1890 a population of
24,602.
The assessed value of property
in 1890 was 17,160,659.
Improved lands sell from $10 to
$40 an acre.

Cooke coanty is well adapted

small fruits.
The people of the county are
comparatively free from debt and
are in a thriving condition com-
pared with the population of
moot agricultural counties.
Two railroads run through the
eeoter of the coanty. The M. K.
& T. rune through from east to
weet and the Santa Fe from north
to south, giving communication
