COFFEE GROWING IN FAVOR.
Steady Increase Of Consumption in
United States.

The importation Of coffee in the
calendar year 1896, less the quantity
exported, aggregated S04 ,692, PTS
pounds, as compared with 843, 652 ,918
pounds in 1906 The quantity con-
sumed was greater in 1906, but the
value was less than in 1896 to the ex-
tent of $4,574,273. There was 1920
376 pounds less of tea imported In
1906 than In 1896, though the value OF
the imports was $602,966 greater in
1906. The importation of cocoa has
greatly increased and also of choco-
late. But the large increase in the
consumption of cocoa has been almost
wholly due to its use in the manufac-
ture of confectionery Its price has
remained nearly stationary during the
last ten years. For the five years
ended with 1901 the average annual
imports of coffee amounted to $780,
0S2 pounds, and for the five years end
ed with 1906 the average was 956,817,-
166 pounds, showing a steady increase
in the consumption of coffee III the
United States while the contrary is
true of tea.

The question was one of applying
the power to the coffee mill, which
was done by removing the forward

bicycle in such = way that the rear

Lincoln, Neb., June S In state
ment given out last night to the AS
sociated Press, William j. Bryan re-
plies to the article appearing a week
ago in New York newspaper charg-
ing that Mr.. Bryan was the bene-
ficiary of a campaign contribution
made by Thomas F. Ryan. Mr. Bry-
an said:
II have just read the story charg-
ing, first, that my brother-in-law,
Mr.. ALLEN, chairman OF the demo-
cratic state committee, had a con-
ference with Mr.. Sheehan in 1904,
in regard to campaign funds.
Second that Mr.. Sheehan as Mr..
Ryan's attorney, secured from Mr..
Ryan $4,000 for the Nebraska
campaign.
Third, that Mr.. Ryan made a
contribution to secure my open and
unqualified support OF Judge Park
|er;
Fourth that to disguise the
source Of the contribution Mr.. Ryan
gave a check to Mr.. Sheehan and
that Mr.. Sheehant gave his checks to
|Mr. Allen.
Chairman Alien and Mr.. Dahl
man, Nebraska member of the ma
tional democratic committee have
already denied the charges and stat
ed that the only money received
came from the national committee,
but / desire to add the following
statement:
'tMr. Allen says that he never saw
either MIR. Sheehan or Mr.. Ryan, and
I have no reason for doubling his
word. If Mr.. Ryan contributed to
the Nebraska campaign it was not
with my knowledge or consent.
While had but a remote personal
interest in the Nebraska campaign
that year, / am interested in Ne
braska politics and am also inter
|ested in the national politics and ]
am not willing to be in the slightest
degree, obligated to any favor-seek-
ing corporation.
"R therefore, the newspaper MAX
ing these charges will secure from
either Mr.. Sheehan or Mr.. Ryan a
statement or prove in any other way
that Mr.. Ryan gave to Mr.. shee-
han or to anyone else OF. to the
national committee any sum what
lever with the understanding that the
sum would be used in the Nebraska
campaign I shall see that the
amount is returned to Mr.. Ryan.
