Henry c. Payne Says He is Expected
October II.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, September 25.-Hen-
mental in securing President McKineys S
assent to a visit to Milwaukee when he
comes west next month, said of the plans
for his entertainment that it is expected
that the President will arrive here about
noon of October IL. He will be taken to the
Pfister for luncheon, and in the afternoon
there will be a reception. In the even
ing he will be given a banquet by the
merchants and manufacturers association,
whose guest he will be while in Milwaukee.
President Mckinley. Mr.. Payne said, has
not formally accepted Milwaukees invi-
tation, but has assured him that if he
came to Chicago he would visit Milwaukee
Mr.. Payne said that an effort would be
made to have the President remain over
night in this city, so as to go through the
state as he Journeys to St. Paul in the day
time thus allowing the people an opportun-
ity to see him. If he decides to do this
a special train will be furnished and he
will be taken either by way of Lacrosse or
Oshkosh and Fond du Lac, and the sched-
ule would be so arranged that he would be
able to stop few minutes in each of the
principal cities and towns while crossing
the state.
In case the President thinks he must be
in St. Paul during the day following his
stop at Milwaukee he will leave on the
midnight train after the close of the ban

DIRECTOR TRYON RETIRES.
Efficient Medical Service of the Navy
Largely Due to Him.

Medical Director J. r. Tryon, formerly
surgeon general Of the navy and chief of
the bureau of medicine and surgery, was
placed on the retired list of the navy today
by operation of law account of age. DR..
Tryon entered the navy in September 1863,
and did good service during the of the

subsequently had the care Of the naval
patients at Pensacola, Fla, during the yel-
low fever epidemic in 1873. He was fleet
surgeon of the white squadron under Ad-
miral Walker for two years, and during the
cruise IN Europe he received the decoration

ical congress at Madrid just before the out
break of the war between Spain and the
United States. Since then he has been on
tails. He was surgeon general of the navy
from May, 1899, to May, 1897, and is enti-
tied to much of the credit for the efficient
condition of that branch of the naval serv-
ice during the Spanish war. He is a ma
tive of New York and will make his home

Caused by the Storm.
Consul Ayme of Guadeloupe, under date
of August 10, sends the following details in
regard to the damage carsed by the hurri-
cane of August In that island and port:
"All telegraph and telephone lines are
down: the roofs of the great warehouses
have been carried off, and the contents
ruined; two small steamers anchored in the
bay went to the bottom. and two others
sank in shallow water; lighters which were
engaged in transporting cargo from steam
ers in port were sunk: boxes, barrels and
cases are strewn along the quays. mingled
with the wreckage of small boats, sloops
&c The western part of the island suffered
very little: but on the east the towns OF
Gosier. Port Louis. Anse, Bertrand St
Francois and the Moue We're nearly wiped
out of existence. Forty deaths and over
zoo seriously wounded reported. De
sivade Island is said to have but five houses
left standing. Even more serious is the
damage to the crops. The coffee and cacao
plantations lost so per cent of their pro-
ducts; breadfruit, mangoes, bananas, april
cots, coacoanuts, sapodilas and alligator
pears form an important part of the food
OF these people, especially in the country.
me season for these fruits had just begun.
Inc crop Is total loss, and the injury to
vines, shrubs and roots is also serious.
Famine threatens the island There is no
Porto Rican beef to be had, and very little
native meat. Mary fishing boats We're lost.
The price of provisions is rising. The loss
of property in the city amounts to at least
5000, 900
This is the first hurricane which has
swept this island for nearly 100 years, and
coming as it does after the earthuuake of
1897, the fires of 1898 ana 1899 and while
the island is passing through serious
financial crisis. it will. L think. force the
colony to appeal to the outside world for
assistance"

CHANCE FOR AMERICANS,
Could Do Zig Business With Ger.
many in Ffrst-ClasS Coal.

Simon w. Hanauer, vice consul general
at Frankfort, Germany, writes to the State
Department regarding possible trade with
Germany that a large Rhine steamship
transportation company says in answer to
his inquiry:
america could do a large business here
if able to deliver first-class coal, suita BILE
for boiler firing like WeStphalian blaze
coal, which today brings 10 marks go. so
per ton elf Rotterdam. To maintain this
trade when once fairly opened the coal
must continue to be of the same quality
and must not come from different mines
The boats bringing 1t could be directed 20
our Rotterdam house (William Egan &
Coz: we would help the trade with all
means in our power. We ourselves want
quantity of coal for our large fleet Of
steamers. We have contracted for our sup
plies until April next with Rhenish syndi-
Gates and English mines. We are well in
formed respecting the coal trade, and are
ready to give any information, as our in
terest is to encourage the importation of
coal"
This firm has eighteen steamers, each Of
about 5000 horsepower and 5000 register
tons for the carrying trade on the Rhine.
Other large firms are also engaged in trans
portation on this great waterway. which
has it's freight termini at Mannheim and
Frankfort, the Main river being navigable
for heavy freight craft from its confluence
with the Rhine up to Frankfort.
