BRYAN WARNED
Congressman Berry Says He
May Be Shot If He Goes
to Kentucky.

Cincinnati, Aug. 2.-Congressman a.
S. Berry, CT Newport, said today:
81 think it would be very unwise for
Bryan to stump Kentucky. I am a
Democrat and I am a Bryan man, but
I can not see any politics in Bryan
coming to Kentucky. In the first place,
all Kentucky is now for Bryan, and
there is no need of him here. In the
second place, should he come it can not
but result in doing him harm, for he
would necessarily make enemies of the
anti-G ebelites, who are now for him.
Bryan would be in positive danger
should he stump this state. Kentucky
people are of quick passions, and they
do not hesitate to use revOlvers if the
speaker does not please them. A plain
speaker like Bryan, who says exactly
what he means, might be shot at any
minute while speaking. Do not think
that 1 am jesting. 1t is a positive fact.
Il saw Bryan's wife while in Wash
ington. and I told her that I thought
it would be a, bad thing for her husband
to canvass Kentucky. She agreed with
me, and said that she did not approve
of it at all

M'KINLEY MAY QUIT.
Close Friends of the President
Say That He Will Not
Run Again.

ST. Louis, Aug. PA Washington
special to the Republic says:
A prominent western politician now
in the city is authority for the state
ment that many of President McKin-
ley's close friends expect him to de-
cline to be a candidate for renonnina-
ton.
This gentleman was a member of the
last house and recently has come from
a short vacation spent among former
colleagues in New England. At a small
dinner given in Newport a few days
ago, attended by two Republican mem
bers of the house who always have been
unswerving supporters of President Nc
Kinley, the conversation turned upon
politics and the probable candidates for
1900. These gentlemen stated positive
ly their understanding to be that Mr..
Mckinley had expressed his desire to
retire from politics at the end of his
term, and their belief that he would not
be urged by Mark Hanna and his
closest advisers to decide differently.
They stated that the presidents in
tention had been expressed not long ago
at a conference with certain New York
Republicans, just previous to the ap-
pOintment of Elihu Root to be secretary
Of war. While the qualifications of Mr..
ROOT were De1QS cOQSlQereQ, I06 New
Workers took occasion to discuss at
some length the general political situ-
alton, and especially the lack of sup
port which the eastern states are giving
to the administrations policy in the
Philippines. It developed that the
president was following closely the tone
of the eastern press. and, with great
regret, recognized the fact that he did
not have behind him his party in the
states of Maine, New Hampshire, Yer
mont, Rhode Island, Massachusetts,
Connecticut and Pennsylvania.
To a suggestion by one of the gentle
men at the conference that Mr.. Mckinley
was the logical nominee for 1900 the pres
ident recalled the fact that no president
had succeeded himself since 1882, although
a number of excellent men had made the
effort to do He stated, also, it is said
that his health had been impaired, and
that the White House had imposed many
burdens from which both he and Mrs.
Mckinley would not be sorry to be re-
leased.
He referred also to the thousands of
friends estranged by failure to receive de-
sired appointments; and he added with
posiuveness that if Republican success in
hitherto reliable states were to be endan-
Inevitable, he would decline the honor
gratefully, but with firmneSs.
The Republicans at the Newport dinner
predicted at the proper time President
Mckinley would make public announce
ment of this position and that the sup
port OF the administration, would go to
Governor Roosevelt of New York.

Hurricane Which Has Been
Sweeping OVe~
Porto Rico and Other West
Indian Islands
REACHES THE COAST.
IL Shipping Tied Up at Sa-
Vannab.
Good Weather Reported North
of Atlanta.

Atlanta. Ga, Aug. 1.-THE following
was received by the Associated Press
from Savannah. Ga, at 1910 this morn
ing:
Hurricane reported on south Florida
coast. All shipping is tied up in that
port. Vessels from north Atlantic
ports arriving report good weather at
sea-
Washington, Aug. 12.-The weather
bureau has received the following:
Jupiter, Fla, Aug. 12-8:2O a. M
Storm velocity began with hour. Puffy
and squally. Moderately heavy sea
now prevailing. Tide remains normal.
The weather bureau is unable from
the reports received up to $3.50 o'clock
this morning to tell whether the storm
will continue on its course westward
throughout the Gulf of Mexico or re-
curve up the Atlantic coast and out to
sea. The latter is the usual track OF
West Indian hurricanes at this season
of the year but since 1873 two have con-
tinued on their way across the gulf.
Gable communication with Nassau
has been interrupted since 1O:30 last
night and nothing has been heard from
the island since. The storm of course.
would not affect the cable, but the land
in several cases on the island Of Porto
Rico.
The hurricane has Travelled about L.
200 miles since Monday, which is at the
rate of about 400 miles per day. It is
now central over the gulf stream with
the edge just touching the Florida
coast AS a rule, while crossing the
gulf stream a hurricane increases in
intensity. 1t has about reached the crit
ical point in it's journey,the place where
it usually recurves to the north.
This is the point where its intensity is
usually most severe. The very high
barometer at Bermuda has had the eff
feet of keeping the hurricane off to the
south and west, as hurricanes always
follow the path of least resistance, and
this is one of the reasons why the
weather bureau officials are inclined to
believe that the storm may continue on
to westward through the Gulf. The
diameter of this hurricane, so far as can
be judged from reports, is unusually
narrow-not over 400 miles. The fact
that the storm is narrow in diameter
indicates that it is of greater severity
than usual.
SHIPPING NOTIFIED.
Washington, Aug. 1.-THE weather.
bureau issues the following bulletin:
11:4O a. m.-Hurricane center ap-
pGOachlnS Jupiter fld. hurricane sig
nails ordered as far north as Charleston
and special warnings of character of
storm given widest distribution in south
Atlantic states. All shipping interests
notified.
PENSACOLA IN THE TRACK.
Pensacola, Fla, Aug. 12.-1:45 p. M
A terrific storm struck this city at 1
O'Clock this afternoon. The wind has
increased in velocity until at this hour
it has almost assumed the force of q
hurricane. All shipping is tied up and
no serious damage is apprehended.

Speaker of the House Arrives
on the st. Paul.
Which Broke Her Own Record
on the Trip.
HE REFUSES TO TALK.
Answers All Questions In an
Evasive Way.
Richard Croker Another Pas
senger Speaks More Freely.

New York. Aug. 12.-The American
line steamer st. Paul. Capt. Jamison
from Southampton and Cherbourg ar
rived here early this morning after
passage of about six days, 19 hours and
13 minutes, lowering her own record be-
tween Cherbourg and this port by near
ly two hours.
Among the passengers on the St Paul
which arrived here today from South
ampton and Cherbourg We're Speaker
Thomas b Reed, Senator w. J. Sewell
OF New Jersey, Richard Croker and
Daniel Frohman
A reporter tried to interview Speaker
Reed, but he did not have much sue
cess.
There is a rumOr that you are go
ing back to Washington. Is it true?"
asked the reporter.
rs there? Well, just now I'm going
up to Maine,'' said Mr.. Reed.
The ex-speaker was asked whether
he intended to become a resident of
New York, but he declined to answer
the question. He also declined to ex-
press an opinion as to the results of the
peace conference at The Hague.
Mr.. Croker said he was sorry the Ma
zet committee had adjourned. I'D
like them to keep right On,'' he said.
"They are making 10000 Democrats a
day in New York city and state, and
the better it will be with the party
Mr.. Croker refused to say anything
as to his plans. He did not know, he
said, whether he would go to Saratoga
to confer with other Democrats who
are there or not.

THE BEARS ARE HIT.
Stocks the Past Week Have Shown
an Upward Tendency.

New York, Aug. 12.-There have been
vigorous professional efforts during the
week to turn the prices of stocks up
wards. The argument has been that
conditions in the money market were
working themselves out satisfactorily
and so as to give assurance against
stringency in the fall. The bull move
ment has met with some success, but
the strength of the market has been
very spotty. The grangers, coalers
and Pacifics are up from 1 to 2 points
on a moderate volume of dealings and
there has been a general upward move
ment in stocks and companies in the
various industrials, iron and steel
stocks leading. There have been some
very notable movements of individual
railroad stocks, due to special causes.
Money has come into the New York
market from outside sources, attracted
by the higher rate ruling here, but the
additional funds offering have been
mostly put into call loans and the rates
for time money have held very firm.
The lessened anxiety over the money
outlook has been a prime factor in the
strength of stocks.

BY THOUSANDS
The Dollars Are Rolling In For Porto
Rice

New York. Aug. 12.-Acting Mayor
Gugenheim issued today an appeal for
aid in behalf of the Porto Ricans who
have suffered from the hurricane. A
Wall street movement for the relief of
the Porto Rican sufferers has been
started by H B. Hollis & Co., who
have head a subscription list with ST.
900.
James Speyer of Speyer & Co., bank
ers, telegraphed to the acting mayor to-
day from Newport that he had mailed
to him a check for 1000 as his contri-
button to the Porto Rican relief fund
Mr.. Corwin, secretary of the Mer-
chants association also notified Mr.
GUggenheim that the association had
its disposal of 81. 100, that it is ready to
donate to the fund.

Chicago, Aug. 12-H. Hartman. pres

arrived in Chicago today after a tour
of several months in Alaska. The To-

each $1,000 face value of bonds, in
amounts equal to $3.50 of new bonds for

DUTY ON TOBACCO.
Too Heavy on That Grown and Ship
ped Out of Porto Rico.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE officials of
the war department are now consider
ing the question of the removal or ma
terial reduction of the duty on leaf to-
bacco grown in and shipped from Porto
Rico and the indications are that an or
der to this effect will be issued within
a short time. Under the presidents
proclamation of December 13, 1898, the
duty on this tobacco was fixed at $5 per
pound. This rate has been found to be
prOhibitiVe. The Porto Rican tobacco
growers represent that the tobacco in
dustry in the island will be ruined un-
less relief is soon afforded them
