DR.. Link was thrown headlong to the

cradle force. In falling he threw out
his left arm to protect his head, and
the force of the fall snapped the bone
like pipe stem.
He was taken into the home of Mr..

by the President.
THE PORTFOLIO or The NAVY
Son Of Mr.. Cleyeland's Secretary Of Agricul-
lure and an Active Democrat Prior
TO Campaign Of 1896.

The, Washington Post of Tuesday
morning says:
President Roosevelt has formally in
vited Paul Morton to become q meln-
Der of his official family a. secretary
OF the navy. ltr. Morton has the mat
ter under consideration, and has not
vet given any intimation OF accept
ance or deelination. II 10 believed he
will decline.
The tender of the naval portfolio.
now held by William II. Moody, who
will succeed Philsnder G. Knox as at
torney general on July /, was made to
Mr.. Morton last Wednesday, when he
came to this city from Chicago in re
spouse to an invitation from the pres
ident. He was at the White House
during the afternoon, when the offer
of a cabinet position was made, and
i'm the evening dined with the presi-
dent. he left that night for Chicago.
II he accepts, Mr.. Morton will be
accredited TO Nebraska, where he
lived for many years, although now
business resident of Chicago. The
president urged him in the strongest
possible terms to accept the place.
A DEMOCRAT UNTIL RECENTLY.
If Mr.. Morton decides to become
secretary of the navv, his selection
will be regarded, no doubt, as the
most remarkable of President Roose-
velt's appointments. Mr.. Morton has
affiliated with the democratic party
almost throughout his life. He was
a straight-out democrat until 1896,
W hen he bekted the national ticket
and became q gold democrat. About
six weeks ago Mr.. Morton gave out a
detailed interview announcing his
remuneration of democratic principles
and declaring that henceforth he IS a
Republican
Paul Morton is the son of the late
r. Sterling Morton, who was secre-
tarv of agriculture in the second
ca binet Of President Cleveland. He

he has devoted all his matare life TO

1t can be stated with defniteness
that Representative Victor III. Met
