BRYAN WRITES A BOOK.
He Proposes TO Preserve the Incidents
OF the Campaign OF 1896 for
Future Generations.

Lincoln, New, Dec ct was learned
yesterday that the title of w. j. Bry-
ans book is to be the "tlrst Battle"
In the preface he states his reasons
for writing the book in the following
words: THE campaign Of 1896 was a
remarkable one. whether we measure
it by the magnitude of the issues in
volved, or by the depth of interest
aroused. l have been led to UNDER
take the present work by desire felt
by myself and expressed by others
to have the more important incidents
of the campaign put into permanent
form for the convenience of those who
have taken part in the contest and for
the use of those who shall hereafter
desire to review the struggle.
THE amount of work done by the
advocates of free coinage Is beyond
computation, and the number of those
who took an active part in the contest
too great for enumeration. These
facts together with the difficulty Of
choosing between so many meritorious
speeches have compelled me to limit
the quotations to the addresses made
and papers issued by persons standing
in an official or semi -official capacity
and to the principal speeches delivered
by myself. / have added brief his
tory of the campaign, including de-
cision of the election returns and the
significance thereof. 1t has also been
thought best to narrate the part taken
by me in the silver agitation prior to
the convention, and at the request of
the publishers have included a biogra-
ply, etc, written by Mrs. Bryan"
1t is understood that the publishers
will issue the book in the early part
of January.

Canton, o., Dec. 6-After n week of
the hardest work he has experienced for
two months, Major Mckinley enjoyed
day of thorough rest. The sun was
bright. the skies clear and the tenn
perature agreeable. Major Mckinley
took drive with Colonel and Mrs. My
ron 7. Herrick in the morning and q
walk in the afternoon. There were no
callers of political character. This
evening Major Mckinley was thorough
ly rested and in the brightest of spirits.
There will be good many distin-
guished visitors at Canton this week,
though the number of congressman
will not be as large as it has been.
Michigan politicians who passed
through Canton today are authority for
the statement that General Alger will

Mayor Pingree. ex-senator Palmer and
Others may make formal protest
against his appointment to a position in
the cabinet.
1t is also stated that influences in
Michigan that are unfriendly to Gener-
al Alger will seek to have Senator Sher-
man. whose opposition to him is a mat
ter of history. oppose his confirmation
of his name, should it he sent to the
senate as a cabinet officer. There is no
doubt of the fact that while General
Alger is strongly urged for a cabinet
position there is some opposition to him
though the extent or source of |. has
not yet developed.

nections at each end of the wire when
the first telephone message was re-

voice was heard with perfect clearness

FIGHTERS IN TROUBLE.
All Sorts Of Annoyances Follow the At.
tempts to Settle the Fitzsim.
mons Sharkey Muddle.

San Francisco, Dec. 6.-Bob Fitzsim-
mons had bout yesterday in Justice
Groesinger's court with collector
holding judgment against the Aus
tralian for $3.50 in favor of Jimmy Car
roll. Sharkey's manager, Dan Lynch,
was summoned as witness, but when
he appeared he was Immediately placed
on the stand In his own defense, an old
debtor having garnisheed the $4,000
purse for a claim against Lynch of
S1,400. Nothing was done in the FitZ-
simmons case, but Mr.. Lynch was cross
examined until he had tied himself up
very neatly. He first declared he had
no interest in the purse. Then he stat
ed that In obedience to a request by
Sharkey he had placed the 100000 check
in the hands of a gentleman from Mon
tana for safe keeling. The court quick
ly adjourned to Sharkey's sick cham
Der, where the sailors deposition was
taken. Sharkey declared under oath
that Lynch still held the check and
that he (Sharkey) knew nobody from
Montana. Up to the hour Of adjourn
ment no trace of the much wanted doc
ument could be found
Sharkey is improving rapidly and will
be on the street within three days.
Fitzsmons will remain in the city
until the courts determine who is en-
tiled to the purse. Julian claims to be
accumulating evidence of crooked work
and promises to uncover a rascally job
to throw down the Australian and his
hackers.
incidentally 1t is rumorod that Fitz-
simmons wagered a considerable sum
that Sharkey would last six rounds and
judging from the fight he put up this
seems quite probable. All experts agree
that the sailor was practically a goner
in the first round and that Fitzsim-
mons had to be careful in order to
avoid knocking him out i'm the fifth.
