OUR SHIPS TO SHOW OFF.
ON COMING FROM EUROPE THEY
MAY GO TO SOUTH AMERICA.

Their Trip in the Latter Direction
Expected to Add Increased Weight
20 the Beneficial Effects of the Pam
American Congress The Vessels in
the Squadron.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-There has been
some agitation for day or two past Of a
proposition to send the new ships forming
the squadron under the command Of Acting
Rear Admiral Walker to South America
instead Of Europe. The argument in favor
of this scheme is that the visit of the ships
to Central and South American ports will
materially aid in securing the results hoped
for from the meeting of the international
American congress, by making good irl
preston upon the people of those countries,
while no substantial benefits will be reaped
from trip to Europe.
WHAT MAY BE DONE.
1t is not probable that any change in the
programme so far as it has been announced
will be made, but there will be an addition
that may satisfy the advocates Of the South
American voyage. The Chicago, Boston,
Atlanta and Yorktown will sail for Europe
about Nov. 10, and after trip through
all the European capitals which can be
reached by water, will return to the United
States in the spring and then make a trip
IN South American and Central American
waters This has not been officially an
| nounced, but the statement is made upon
| excellent authority.
WILL BE A LARGER FLEET.
When the squadron shall visit our Ameri-
can neighbors on the south it will be in
creased by the presence Of the Baltimore,
Petrol and Vesnvius, which will then be in
| a condition to sail. As confirmation of the
truth Of this story it may be stated that the
men on the Chicago are enlisted for SIX
months only, so that she will be compelled
| to return or re-enlist her crews abroad.
THE DELEGATES AT MILWAUKEE.
MILWAUKEE, WIS, Oct. 23.-The ALI
American travellers this morning left Chi
cago at o'clock, under the attentive care
| of Capt. Burke of the army. This was
| because Of the fact that Special Agent
| William Il. Curtis remained behind, under
| the advice OF DR.. Yarrow, U. S. A. Mr..
| Curtis is obliged to take rest, his anxiety
for the success of the trip and activity
in attaining it having caused nervous
exhaustion. He expects. however, to re-
sumo his duties tomorrow. The run &c
| this city was uneventful, save for the
boarding Of the train at the Western Union
| junction by the Milwaukee reception com-
mittee, bearing tiny bottles of Milwaukee
| lager as souvenirs, and also handsome
| pamphlets illustrating Mil waukee. The
st. Paul railroad, on which the run was
made, also distributed elegant souvenirs
| Upon the arrival at Milwaukee, carriages
carried the party through the residences
sections to the art gallery, water-works
breweries, and to the hotel st 1:S0 o'clock
| where lunch was had.
THE SPEECH OF WELCOME.
! Mayor T. H. Brown, at the conclusion Of
| the luncheon, welcomed the visitors. saying
that sall the citizens of the city were
thorough American citizens in the sense of
desiring a thorough union of all the
| Americas. A drive about the city was re.
sumed after lunch. the chief feature Of in
terest being the national soldiers home
| on the outskirts. After Il hotel
dinner the party in the evening
attended a reception at the home of John
L. Mitchell. A new diversion was there
offered. A canvas tent of good size, con-
nected by a covered way with the house,
was pitched on the lawn, and there the
visitors danced until late in the evening,
| when they were driven to their train, which
started at midnight for st. Paul.
