MR.. WINNIE AT HIS DESK.
Return From Europe of the First As
sistant Postmaster General

Robert ]. Wynne, first assistant postmas-
ter general. who is acting Postmaster Gen
eral in the absence of Mr.. Payne from Of
flee. returned from a six weeks trip to
Europe last evening and was at his office
today.
His itinerary included France. England,
Wales and Ireland, and. being accompanied
by his wife and children, many side places
of interest were visited that would not or
dnarily be included in a short trip. Wales
is the land to which MIR. Wynne owes his
second allegiance it being the native soil
of his father who died many years ago.
I'VE had Il splendid time everywhere We
went he said today, in reference to his
trip. I'VE remained longer in Paris than
we had intended. but l must admit that
never saw so much of that city before as
l did this time. There are interesting
things there that the average visitor never
sees or even hears about The women and
men are groomed to the. limit of perfection,
but it seems. to the American. to be a little
bit overdone-too much paint on one sex
and too much wax on the mustacheS of
the other.
gently for the beautiful Irish girl. but we
6idn't lind her / have seen some beautiful
types here. but If there were any in Ireland
we missed them; they must have all come
to America. It's a beau..Iul country. and
intensely interesting. and the children en-
joyed every moment we were there Wales
is a picturesque land, and l would have
liked to stay there for a longer time. Per-
haps next year we may have another
chance to go over and take in the things
we missed this year for want of time.
Mr.. Wynne looks the picture of vigorous
health and said that his vacation had done
him a great amount of good. His first act
upon leaving the train when it arrived in
Washington last night was to call at the
Postmaster Generals hotel. and today he
said that the death of Mr.. Payne would be
a distinct loss to the Post Office Depart
ment. to the republican party and to the
country at large. and that he earnestly
hoped the doctors might overcome the dis
ease. and that his chief would be
back at his desk.

terial crisis here. which had long been
threatened. has been averted. assurances of
support having been given by his col
