The South American sea captain who
came to port the other day with the
description of a sea serpent which fol-
lowed the ship for days like friendly
dog says that at night the monster
curled itself into ball and. sleeping
peacefully, rolled in the wake of the
vessel. Here is Captain Fibb's faithful
sketch of the sea serpent. and he claims
that If you will cut the figure into two
pieces of the same shape and size they
will flt together to form perfect bau
and thus prove that the captain is no
nature fakir.

WRECKED SAILORS
 SUFFER GREATLY

New Orleans, July 17.-Wrecked on the coast of Nicaragua, losing their lifeboat in a fight through the surf and suffer- ing many hardships while making their way to civilization, was the experience of the crew of the Norwegian bark Fra den, according to Capt. N. H. Galmert and eight of his sailors who arrived here today.
 The Fraden had made a safe passage from Australia to Corinto a port on the Pacific coast of Nicaragua, and several weeks ago started down the coast for the purpose of taking on a cargo of ma hogany and other woods for Europe, when a gale came up and blew the bark toward shore. When the Fraden struck, the men took to ifeboats, but these were beaten to pieces in the surf. All of the crew managed to get safely ashore, now ever. They finally made their way to Managua and from there to the Atlantic coast, where the captain and a majority of the crew took passage for New Or leans.

NEGRO MATTERN
 CAMPAIGN ISSUE

Fairview, Lincoln, July 17.-Followlng his declaration of yesterday to the Bal timore Sun that he had not discussed the Brownsville affair or the question of the appointment of negroes to office, w. J. Bryan today announced that he did not wish to be misunderstood. He said he did not mean to convey the impression that he had never talked about the Brownsville case in any manner, but that he had not discussed it as an issue in the present campaign. While he had not read the evidence bearing on that subject, he recalled an editorial, written by nlm two years ago, in which he made the frank assertion that, if the facts were as stated President Roosevelt was fully jus titled in his course.
 Visitors to the Bryan home were less numerous today than on yesterday. The principal caller was John E. Lamb of Indiana but he declined to make any statement as to the subject of his conver- sation.
 Tonight MT. Bryan went into Lincoln to attend a Masonic meeting and two hours afterward received at his home a large delegation from the local Central Labor union.

 TELEGRAM CLEARED

Washington, July 17-The Fasset-Cassi- dy race track telegram case is a closed incident. It became known today that the federal grand jury has decided that the evidence offered by the district at torney is not sufficient to show that any crime was committed when Julius Tim berlake telegraph operator employed at the capitol, according to his confess sion, inserted the word mot" in a mes sage filed by Representative J. Sloat Fas- set advising State Senator Cassidy of New York as to the latter's vote on the Hughes anti-raee track bill at Albany. The altered telegram is said to have de- feated the earlier passage of Governor Hughes measure.
 The grand jury proceeding being an in- vestigaton only, that body has made no formal report, ignoring the charge Tim berlake had not been taken Into custody and no formal charge was pending against him.
