G1ories of Uncle Sam.
Ernest Albrecht, Of the fur dealing
fun of Albrecht & Son, 20 East Seventh
street, has returned from a five months
trip abroad. Business and pleasure
took Mr.. Albreclrt to London, Paris and
several Of the more important cities Of
Germany. He visited his former home
in Saxony and returns to ST. Paul in
excellent health. having benefited
greatly by the sea voyage.
One Of the pleasant surprises which
Mr.. Albrecht met when arriving in New
York on the homeward trip was the
news Of the peace concluded between
the United States and Spain. Speaking
of the sentiment toward the United
States in Germany, Mr.. Albrecht says
he everywhere met a spirit of almost
open hostility to this country and
naany times heard the wish expressed
the war. He had heated arguments
with some Of the Germans, always
maintaining that the United States
would be triumphant, and now that
this has come about, Mr.. Albrecht Ia
patriotically enthusiastic.
THE fur trade in England and Ger
many" said Mr.. Albrecht, sis flourish
IlS. loIuoH dIlu Leipzig are the two
largest fur markets in the world. In
both cities I purchased large supplies
for the firm and studied the designs
and fashions in fur garments for the
coming winter. 1 found nothing SUI
perior in the foreign manufactured fur
ga rn ents to those manufactured in this
country. The system of dying seal
skins in london, however, is the best
known to fur dealers, and I made ar
engagements for having a quaf1tity Of
seals treated in the English market"
While visiting Hamburg, Mr.: AL
brecht met United States Consul Louis
Stern, who was formerly connected
with the Velkszeitung, the German
daily Of this city. Mr.. Albrecht was
in Hamburg When Bismarck died and
says the statesunan's death was gen
timely mourned throughout the empire.
even by those opposed to the Iron
Chancellor" during his life. Mr.. Al
brecht sailed from Paris after visitins
Heidelberg and Hanover. The last day
out from New York one of the sfaan,,
er's propellers was broken and the mas
sengers nomentarily thrown info q
panic. After the accident the staa n,ar
made but slow progress with one nrol
peller. The boat reached New York tha
day Of the triumphant return Of tl,e
United States squadron, and Mr.. All
brecht had the pleasure of witnessino
the great naval parade, which he con.
siders was one of the most interestino
incidents Of his trip.

gates 10 the State Convention Is
to Re Held at Market Hall To-day
District Convention Meets at Still
Winter Next Saturday, when the
Nomination VIII Re Made.
The Ramsey county convention to
elect delegates to the Democratic con-
gressional convention Of the Fourth

1t is expected that the business of
the convention will be disposed Of i'll
very little time. There is nothing to
do beyond the routine business and the
naming of 120 delegates. A list of these
will be prepared and submitted and
they win no doubt be satisfactory, as
there is no opposition whatever TO
Judge Willis. 1t is probable that John
H. Ives will be the chairman of the
convention.
The nominating convention, which is
70 be held at Saltwater next Satur-
day. will no doubt nominate Judge Will
lis. The entire Ramsey county delega-
ton viii attend in a body, and the dele
gates from the other counties in the
district have already indicated an in
tention Of making the nominating con-
Vention large and representative
enough to make emphatic protest
against the present representation in
congress.
Last night a number Of the dele

A meeting Of initial lines for the pur-
pose of giving stability to -four rates was
held in Minneapolis yesterday afternoon. All
the members Of the -four committee were
present.
The new tariff of 251s cents, which has Just
gone into effect, was the subject Of discus
sion. The former tariffs have been cut and
every attempt to maintain them have failed.
The lines think that by pooling the business
they may be able to prevent that. The ques-
ton was not definitely decided.

Several New York directors of the
Great Northern railway will arrive in
this city today and will accompany
President James ]. Hill over the Foss-
ton extension, and perhaps over the
entire system. The party includes ia
cob H. Schiff, Henry w. Cannon,
George F. Baker and Samuel Thorne.
They travelled from Buffalo to Duluth
by lake. and will come in over the
eastern Minnesota railway. They will
leave with President Hill for Duluth
tonight OF tomorrow morning.
A dispatch from Duluth announces
that the last spike in the
Fosston branch will be driv-
en- Monday midway between Foss-
ton and Bemidji. Two crews will
meet at that point. The first train
over the line will be the one contain
ing President Hill and his party. It
was expected that the road would be
completed earlier, but the work has
been delayed by rains and by lack Of
men. AS soon as the road Is opened
for business, passenger and freight
service will be started and the line
will be In active operation.
The new line is expected to bring
many settlers to towns through which
1t passes, to open UP territory hither-
to inaccessible, and to make the de-
velopment Of that section Of the coun-
try matter of a few years. 1t Will
give a direct outlet to the lake ship
pers of grain and other products. and
will in every way accrue to the advan-
tage Of Western industries.

GREAT FUTURE OF THE PACIFIC
COAST.

Rear-Admiral J. N. Miller, who
hoisted the flag over the Hawaiian is
lands and proclaimed them part of
the United States, left Chicago after
days stay, for Springfield, Ohio, his
boyhood home. Admiral Miller will re-
tire from the service in the navy, No
vember %. Before leaving Chicago
Admiral Miller said:
II believe the Pacific station to be
second in Importance, If not the most
important naval station we have. l
think SO, not because have COM
manded our fleets in those waters so
many years, but because the rapid
growth of the West coast cities indi-
cate that a large population will even
tually reside there. I am therefore
greatly gratif1ed that the government
has seen fit to send two such mag
nificent battleships as the Oregon and
Iowa to the Pacific station"
Speaking Of the prospective retire.
ment, Admiral Miller said:
II greatly regret the necessity of
quitting the service at time I feel l
am well able to fulfill my duties, but
I must give way to younger men. I
have had my innings and must give
others a chance"
With regard to the lessons of the
late war, he said:
First and foremost, I think the me-
cessity for the Nicaraguan Canal Is
the thing Of prime Importance to our
navy. A country which has such a
vast coast line on two oceans needs a
route by which warships can be trans
ferred from ocean to ocean without
incurring the necessity of circumnav-
igating q continent. I think the Mic
araguan Canal will be built in eight
years. It is the only practical pas
sage.
"The chief difficulty to be sur
mounted in Nicaragua is the establish
ment Of port at Graytown. The shift
ing sands thereabouts render naviga-
tion difficult and considerable expense
would be incurred in fixing the har-
Dor up.
Another necessity shown by the
war is that of having large number
OF first-class battleships, capable Of
sailing 18 knots. We must have them
and think we will have them. We
want more ships like the recently
Launched Illinois.
With regard to Hawaii, It was es-
pectally pleasant for me to close a
long service by presenting my coun-
try with large and fertile territory.
Ever since my first visit to Hawaii, in
1855, I have been convinced that the
island should belong to us. I have
visited Honolulu many times and have
always been accorded royal welcome
there. 1t is now thoroughly Amer
lean city and we did right in taking
it in."

Porto Rico, the one portion Of SPANS
late possessions in the new world
which is to be promptly possessed by
the United States as a portion of it's
territory, is naturally attracting con-
siderable attention as a promising field
for enterprise. One of the most inter-
esting and valuable articles on Uncle
Sans new island is that contributed
to the Century by Frederick A. Ober,
late commissioner in Porto Rico Of the
Columbian Exposition. Mr.. Ober gives
a charming picture of the loveliness
Of the Porto Rican landscape and the
beauties of its tropical climate, in
which respect he simply agrees with
all other observers, from Ponce de
Leon to Gen. Miles and his army. Geo.
graphically, Porto Rico Is very simple.
A central range Of cordilleras descend
ing in foothills and valleys to the coast,
with numerous short rivers flowing
from the central mountain heights to
the coast In all directions, and With
some excellent ports and harbors, es-
pecially in the east, south and west.
There are more than 1000 Of these
short streams, of which perhaps fifty
are of sufficient size to be designated
rivers. The island Is thus well sup
piled with water, though droughts in
the southern portion are sometimes oc-
casioned by the precipitation Of the
northeast trades against the northern
side Of the central mountain range. AL
most every valuable or aromatic tree
or shrub common to tropical climes
1ourishes on the island, and these will
be source of great wealth under the
regime of industry and enterprise upon
which Porto Rico Is about to enter.
The lowlands are extremely fertile and
produce maize, yucca, sugarcane, etc.,
abundantly. Tobacco Of a fine quality
can be grown, and coffee trees yield
annually about 1900 tons. Bananas,
plantains and other tropic fruits yield
wonderfully, the entire range Of deli
cious fruit being represented. The ISL
and is also rich in minerals, though
but little attention has been given to
them by the natives or the Spanish.
The climate, after acclimatization, is
considered the most healthful Of the
West Indies
