PROTEST COMES QUICKLY Recommendation of General Barry as to Enlistment of Colored Troops Arouses Savannah Mayor. Tho recommendation of General Bar- I ry, commanding tho department of tho gulf, in his annual report, that no?ioe3 be enlisted in the artillery and companies then he assigned to the seacoast torts from Virginia to the gulf, instead of white companies, has aroused unfavorable comment in Savannah. If General Barry's recommendations were carried out, Fort Screven would bo included In tl^e scheme and negro soldiers stationed there. Mayor Myers is outspoken in his denunciation of the scheme, and stated that ho would write the senators and congressmen from Georgia, asking them to oppose it. Mayor Myers said: "This thing as preposterous. Gen oral Barry is certainly not posted when he says that by reason of mosquitoes, bad water, etcetera, the southern forts are undesirable. "There are no moro mosquitoes at Port Screven than there are on "the Jersey or New York coasts. The water Is of the very best. We certainly would not make a pleasure resort out of a place so undesirable. "To place negroes in the fort at Ty| bee would ruin our resort. "I think tho whole south ought to take up the fight against quartering negro soldiers at our forts. I shall i write our senators anil congressmen I concerning the matter, and have them [ watch out for the report when it comes before congress. There will bo ! ] a determined fi^ht made on the adop- ! tion of the report, if I have anything to do with it."

As Mr. Iloosovolt was leaving about 0 o'clock he spoke feelingly of Mr. Payne to the newspaper men gathered in front of the hotel as "the sweetest, most lovable and most trustful man he ever knew." Mrs. Roosevelt, accompanied by Taptain Cowles, was a caller at the family apartment or tile Paynes (luring the late afternoon. The last day harl been one during wh'ch practically nil hope had been j abandoned for some hours. The ap- j proacli of dissolution began during the noon hour, when the sick man lost j consciousness nnd no longer recognlz- j ed those whom he had attempted to ! cheer during his illness by saying to them that ho was nil right. When Mrs. Payne saw that the end was near, she summoned the Rev. Dr. Dunlap, of St. John's Episcopal church, and at her request, he road at the bedside of the dying man Psalm 150: "Out of tne depths," and then repeated the prayers the Episcopal church provides shall bo read at the bed of those about to pass away.
