WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 10
Especial Intimate friends of Will
liam Jennings Bryan stated today
that the Nebraskan was now at work
on an announcement to the public
in which he would declare himself a
candidate for the democratic presi-
Dental nomination, and in which he
will clearly set forth his views on all
questions now affecting the public
mind.
1t is claimed that the announce
ment will be made public within the
next thirty days, and that it will prac-
tically decide the question as to who
will be the candidate of the party
next year.
Bryan's political confdants here
assert that there will be an imme-
diate crystallizing of democratic
popular sentiment around him that
will effectually preclude the possibil-
ity of any set of men organizing a
successful move against bis nomi-
nation.

BRYAN WILL SOON ANNOUNCE
Friends Declare NebraSkan Will Not Keep Public In
Long Suspense.

Bryan is said to have recently in
formed friends that he believed in
view of the tremendous disclosures
the country has had of criminality in
the great corporations of the land,
and the practical endorsement that
has been given to many of his past
views by the Republican leaders of
this time, that the prospects of his
election over a candidate like Taft
would be remarkably fine.
Bryan7s friends here, whether
speaking for him or merely for
themselves, regard Roosevelt as a
more dangerous candidate against
Bryan than Taft, or any other man
the Republicans can name, despite the
outcry of third term that would be
raised against him.
1t is the general impression here in
political circles that from now on
Bryan will be heard from frequently
and that his speeches and published
articles will more than ever reflect
the candidate for president.

The HdQue Conference Turns Down Permanent Arbi-
tratiOn Court Proposition.

AS the conference draws to a close
it is seen that it will probably ac-
complish little that will tend to pre-
vent future wars, but has merely
ameliorated the conditions under
which wars are to be conducted
A number of important PROPOSE
tions yet remain to be finally dispos-
ed of, but there appears to be no
hope of any really decisive steps
being taken to insure the mainten-
ance of peace. The American plan
of a permanent arbitration court
was probably the most practical of
all the plans that have been propos-
ed for the adjustment of international
differences, leaving recourse to arms
as a remote and last contingency.

THE HAGUE, Sept. Especially
At the session of the Peace Con-
ference today the American PROPOSE
ton for a permanent arbitration court
failed of adoption.
The plan was advocated with much
eloquence by Choate, Porter and the
other American delegates, and at
one time it was believed by them
that it would secure the approval of
the Conference.
Much disappointment is expressed
by the American delegates and those
favoring their plan at the defeat of
the measure which, it was believed,
would be one of the most forward
steps that could be taken in the in
terest of international peace.

criticisms upon a recent interview,
wherein he dwelt graphically upon
the immense cotton crop of Georgia

gorgeous picture of prosperity held
up to the public Gov. Smith then de-

make a speech that will put him fair
ly and squarely in the field.
While there is no perceptible Chan
Ter feeling in Georgia considerable
interest is manifested in his coming.
1t is always regarded as possible that
a dark horse may walk off with the
nomination and while no one here
regards it as in anywise probable
that Chanler can figure in that capa-
city he will have no occasion to com

ton or of the lack of an opportunity
to place his views before the people
of this section under favorable con-
ditions

From the first it was recognized that

that 20 per cent of the men now en-
gagged upon the work are old hands
who were there last year, went North
again to escape last summers heat
and mosquito season. and at the be-
ginning of winter returned, goes far to
prove that the construction camps
along the Florida keys are models Of
their kind, and that it is not necessary
to subdivide the work among contract
ors.
At the Long Key viaduct camp
division of 500 men are quartered who
work in day and night shifts. This

While the eyes of the nation are
turned toward Panama and the great
work in progress on the isthmus, there
is going steadily forward in Florida an
enterprise which, in the opinion of
experts. offers many valuable sugges-
tionS to the men who are solving
canal problems. The building of such
a railroad as that now under construc-
ton between Miami and Key West,
over the long line of the Florida keys,
necessitates the employment of thou
sands of men, the handling of vast
quantities of material and supplies and
the overcoming of many difficulties
due to climate and topography. Espe-
rially in the way in which thousands
OF workmen are enlisted and managed
without the Intervention of contract
prs is there said to be an object les
son as to the method by which the
big ditch might best be dug.
The points of likeness are many,
despite the apparent difference be-
tween two enterprises, one Of which
is designed to enable steamships to
undertake the feat of mountain climb

to the majority of women, as the en-
pire cut, chiefly in it's modified form,
requires the master hand of the
skilled couturier and the corsetiere,
if the grace peculiar to it is to be
preserved.
A garniture much in favor with
dressmakers just now is the "rou-
leaute," heavy, narrow roll of vel
vet, satin or cloth, yards of which
are used upon numbers of afternoon
and also evening gowns, to form
large, fanciful designs, among which
the key pattern ranks foremost.
Many of the costumes of striped
material for midseason wear present a
very becoming feature, eminently fiat
tering to women of generous proper
tions The two sides of the coat from
under the arms downward are cut
with the stripes disposed slantingly,
thus accentuating the curve of the
waist line, an illusion further en-
hanced by the disposition of the rest
of the material, with the stripes
placed contrastingly in a vertical
fashion.

mus of Panama. The climate, al
though in winter delightful, is almost
tropical in summer. Laborers, as we'll
as maintenance and construction sup
plies, must be brought from dis
tance. many of them from as far north
as Philadelphia and New York, and
are. therefore, unacclimated. Even the
water supply for both men and ma
chinery must be transported, much of
it more than 100 miles in tank cars
and steamers.
There's perhaps an argument in fa-
yor of the governments digging the
canal on its own initiative in the great
undertaking Of Henry M. Flagler's.
Not contractor has been employed
during the whole course of the work.
Both the operation of the main line Of
the road and the construction of the

cost of 100000 mile for building the
100 miles of railway is a very con-
servative estimate, to say nothing Of
the further expense Of the improve
ments at Key West, where it is pro-
posed to fill in 174 acres oil land now
under water and to build extensive
docks and terminals, as well as dry
docks and wharves, each 800 feet long
and 100 feet wide. Then there must
be- established a car ferry service
which will transport trains of thirty
cars each from Key West to the Cuban
capital in from four to four and one
half hours. Perhaps 100000 will
see the enterprise complete to the last
detail. But there will be neither
bonds nor stocks to harass the public

Iona Trains in Vogue.

Long trains on room gowns are
again in evidence. For time, like
the street frock, the negligee, no mat
ter how elegant it was, appeared with
a clipped train which robbed it of the
majestic influence over other robes
of less Importance. Graceful lines are
obtained in graduated founces that
widen toward the back and form a
fan-like train. AS much elaboration
in the way of lace frllls, ruch1ngs and
the like as one desires may be intro

of which the islands are formed. After
leaving the mainland, dredges were
forced fairly to eat their way through
the tangled mangrove swamp, a
dredge proceeding slowly down each
side of the eInbanhment, digging
channel for it's own passage, and build
ing up the embankment with the ma
fish creek, which separates Key Largo
from the mainland, were filled in this
way and the third has been spanned
by steel drawbridge, which is now
in operation.
Perhaps the most interesting part
of the work, however, is, the rein
forced concrete arch viaduct construc-
ton which connects the longer
stretches of deep water between the
keys. Altogether there are about six
miles of this kind of work, which will
consist of alternations of four fifty
foot spans and one of sixty feet. Be-
tween Knights and State Keys there
will be total length of 1900 feet of
this construction; and between Long
and Grassy Keys, where the viaduct
work first begins, is the next longest
stretch, which will consist of 1874

wardrobe that any new suggestions in
regard to making them are most ac-
ceptable<
Many of the small girls coats this
summer are made of pique or linen,
hand embroidered. Others are of
serge, either white or blue, or of tiny
pin-striped flannel. These have blue
and pink stripes on a white ground,
are ,ornamented with gilt buttons and
in colors to match the stripes.
Very smart also are the lingerie
coats of sheer handkerchief linen,
made on white silk foundation, or
pink. AS these are not very practi-
cal for the mother of ordinary means,
those for dry cleaning, are an expense
not lightly to be incurred, none has
been drawn. The little coat in the
center of the picture could, however,
be easily made in sheer linen, en-
broidered in floral design, and worn
over silk slip. These slips are only
tackled to the outside and can read
lily be removed when the lingerie part
is to be washed.
The seasons bonnets are unusually
charming and quaint. Most of them
are in poke effects, trimmed with tight
little punches of garden flowers and
ribbons. Others are in the cloche or
mushroom shape, trimmed with a sim
pie scarf and loop, while through the
knot is stuck a tiny bunch of rose
buds. These little bonnets could be
easily copied by mother with even
slight aspirations to millinery.
. Fascinating bonnets are also shown
Of soft, open straw, bent in poke
shape. The lingerie hat has by no
means lost prestige, and many dainty
embroidered or f1ounced ones are
shown for the little tots; also very
cunning sunbonnets of pique and
linen
Another model is of heavy but fine
linen, with a novel motif in embroid-
cry running down the front and across
the bottom. These coats are expen-
sive, even in Paris, where they cost
40 francs, but can easily be copied by
woman who embroiders, and at very
little cost The i 4nder collar has just

little hat is of the new cloche shape,
in pale yellow chip, trimmed with a
white bow and a bunch of pink rose

THICKER FABRICS COMING IN.
Smart Novelty Material Is Known as
Bengaiinette.

Great appreciation is being shown
this spring for novelty material
known as bengalinette, a new edition
of Bengaline-in other words, a silk
fabric with a ribbed surface. The
tnarQuisette has been a la mode two
courtiers are on the lookout for ma
terial trifle sitter than these chiffon
goods and bengalinette meets the re-
quirements.
The new fabric is in evidence in all
colors, but it is particularly seductive
in pale green and old pink. Green was
big factor in the COS of the last cen
tury and the second empire modes
now being revived are an example of
how much in vogue all styles of the
last SO years are and will be. The
empire as brought forth year and
half ago is seen no more except for
evening wear in light transparent
goods, and the drapery is particularly
adaptable to that class of goods.
There is quite change in the quail
ity of goods used this spring from that
in vogue for very long time past.
Now the makers and drapers are show
ing goods that have decided body to
them. In other words, the chiffon no.
| character stuffs are passe.
The handwriting on the wall points
to less coquettish modes, for certainly
stiff materials will not take all the
fullness in drapery and elaboration in
ha;ndiwy'ork that # frocks haye received
the past years. II: =. : =, p; =. ....- :
