BERLIN, Oct. 29.-The Berliner Tage-

great increase of the navy Of America,
which is evidently destined to become
a great sea power. The report from
Washington that no solution OF the Sa-

to be due to the fact that no agreement
can be come to between England and

q letter written to Mr.. Morton by Will

Bryan was an applicant for the posi-

state board of transportation. In 1t
Mr.. Bryan makes this bold confession:
81 ASSUJ E YOU THAT 1T is THE
MONEY THAT is IN THE OFFICE
AND NOT THE HONOR THAT AT
TRACTS ME-"
The letter in full is as follows:
LINCOLN, Neb., JAM II, 1SS9.-

City, Neb.: Dear Friend - Your kind
letter to Mr. Lease was received and

regards to the ladies, I am, yours very
truly, w. }. BRYAN.
Failing to secure the appointment to
the railway commission Mr.. Bryan
continued the practice of law, but in
1890 he announced his candidacy for
congressman, and in fact, has been
candidate for Office ever since. A. j.
Sawyer and a number of other promi-
nent First district Democrats asked
Mr. Morton to come out as candidate,
but he replied: NO; not to go and ask
any one to vote for me work for
me- His refusal to run made the
nomination of Bryan possible, and
those in charge of the Democratic ma
and he was nominated.
Bryan's repeated utterances concern

]. Sterling Morton's mind the asser-
tion made l. 1889 and search was in
stituted at Arbor Lodge for the letter.
1t was found among number of other
letters written by Mr.. Bryan, all some
what similar and equally interesting.
Bryan denied having made the state
ment as claimed by Morton. Mr.. Nor
ton was interviewed in Omaha and
made the following. statement:
"As an economist Colonel Bryan is
prestidigitator. While lecturing on
free trade he denounced and bemoaned
high prices and lauded low prices
But while lecturing for free silver he
damns low prices as the bane of pros
perity and praises high prices as the
sole tonic and test of prosperity. AS
q self-adjus ng, reversible vote-catch-
ing economist Colonel Bryan is with
out a peer. He wanted free trade be-
cause it would make prices lower; he
wants free silver because it will make
them higher; but he wants Office
more than he wants anything else,
not to bestow good upon the country,
but money upon himself"
]. Sterling Morton suggests this
question: Ibid Bryan tell the truth
when he denied my declaration, or did
he tell the truth when he made the
assertion: assure you that it is the
money that is in the Office and not
the honor that attracts me-"

E.travaeapce of Fashion.

Really, in behalf of the economical
women who cannot afford to enrich
the ragman every ten weeks or SO,
when the fashions take a lurch this
way or that, legislation should step in
to establish some one pattern or
weave of black silk as the fashion.
Here it was. as we remember, only
yesterday every woman felt compelled
to buy at least a black MORE Velours
skirt to wear her fancy waists with,
or who was she, with soul so dead TO
the needs of her wardrobe, that she
couldn't afford skirt of black SILK
all covered with sprawly brocaded de-
signs? Well, now, forsooth, the MORE
velours, or the plain MORE, or the
brocaded patterns are utterly abhorreo
by the we'll dressed. and the manufac-
turers have got out new black SILK.
1t is a crisp watered silk, with great
brocaded polka dots or giant triangles.
or long wavelike lines running and
shattered all over it. The brilliancy
of it is undeniable, as is that of the
new evening silks, all of which are
shaded from deepest tones to palest
tints on every breadth. They, too, are
watered and brocaded. and are meant
for magnificent reception, dinner and
ball dresses. 1t is plain to see that
their advent has been made necessary
by the long trains, and for the beaut1-
full new tea gowns and wedding cos
tunes wonderful velvet embossed
silk is adopted. On peau de sole
