COTTON GOODS SALE.
Over $4,000 Gases Being Sold at Auc-
ton in New York City.

New York, Aug. IAN auction
sale Of cotton goods was begun in this
city today that is believed to break
all former records for sales of that
kind. More than $4,000 cases COM
prised the lot to be sold, and there is
said never before to have been so
many packages in a single sale nor
so much cotton reported The sale,
moreover, was remarkable for the
number of buyers attending it, the
count exceeding 500. They represent
ed both jobbing houses and large re-
failing firms, and it was estimated
that practically every state in the
union had at least one representative
present, Their bidding was spirited
throughout the day, resulting in fair
prices all along the line.
Representatives of large dry goods
interests attending the sale expressed
particular satisfaction over the fact
that fully so per cent. of the goods
sold tOday-the total was in excess of
1900 cases-was taken in small lots
of from one to five cases each This.
they said, meant a wide distribution
for the goods and so should be of
benefit to the trade at large
1t was first expected that the sale
could be confined to two days but at
the close today the auctioneer an
nounced it would not be possible to
dispose of all the goods before the end
of the week. They consist very large
ly of blankets, there being nearly 20
900 cases containing from so to 100
pairs each. The other goods are de-
NETS and canton fannels. BY far The
biggest consignment was made by a
Nashua n. H., mill but the product
of an Alabama mill also is included

that after all the great masses of the

take a step up higher and breathe the

William J. Bryan today received from
Henry D. Claton of Alabama formal
notification of his nomination for the
Presidency of the United States. Thrice
honored by the Democratic party as
its standard bearer, Mr.. Bryan plain
ly exhibited the pleasure it gave him
once again to proclaim the principles
for which he stood. His nomination for
a third time, he declared in his speech
of acceptance. could only be explained
by a substantial undisputed growth in
the principles and policies for which
he. with multitude of others. had
contended. Gas these principles and
policies" he said, "have given me
whatever political strength l possess.
the action Of the convention not only
renews my faith in them. but strength
ems my attachment to them"
The ovation accorded Mr. Bryan as
he rode through the streets of Lincoln

administration was represented. Gov

the parade and on the platform.
Before coming to Lincoln from Fair
view, four miles distant, Mr. Bryan re-
ceived 1900 visitors.
Never before had LincOln's streets
and buildings presented such gala
appearance. O street was riot of
color. Around the mutilated Taft
banner a crowd of curious visitors was
ALWAYS clustered. The route of the
parade carried Mr. Bryan directly I'M
der the banner, but no notice was TAX
en- of the fact by him or his party.
The state House grounds were mass
of humanity and Mr.. Rryan's appear

vociferous cheers and handclapping.
Before the notification and accept
ance speeches were delivered, Norman

London. Aug 12.-The visits paid
by King Edward to Emperor William
at Cronberg and the Emperor Francis
.Joseph at Ischl while not likely to lead
to any formal diplomatic transactions,
arc considered highly important in Of
fetal circles as affecting the relations
of Great Britain, Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary.
There have been many reports con-
corning the conversations OF the mon
archs. and the representatives OF the
foreign officers of the three countries,
hut officials in London today said that
most of these statements could be dis
missed as without particular value.
"rhere is no doubt" said British
official today, chat Turkey has been
one of the subjects under discussion.
This would assuredly be the fact In
gathering of any persons interested in
international politics but there is moth
inr TO settle between the powers on
this question as all are agreed that
there is but one thing to do, namely
not to press any reform measures until
the new regime has been given fair
trial.
It is understood that King Edward
particularly wished to see emperor
William to arrange a visit for himself
and Queen Alexandra to Berlin In re-
turn for the Emperor's visit to London,
and the King also wanted to show the
Germans by his relations with his roy
al nephew, that the ententes which
has been brought about had not been
aimed at Germany.
