BRYAN IS STILL FIGHTING
ville on Proposed Can didate in 1912.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 20-Wm. J. Bryan declines to approve a recent ed itorial suggestion by Col. Henry Wat terson of Louisville that he (Bryan) should consent to the nomination of 2 candidate in 1912 who bolted in 1896 Bryan plainly serves notice that he will fight any such plan. In the cur rent issue of his paper. Bryan says:
 Tt seems to be assumed upon tho part of those for whom MT. Watterson speaks that no man is At to be a Dem ocratio president unless he helped to elect Republican president in the critical campaign of 14 years ago.
 If 1t would promote harmony for the six and half millions to an- nounce that they will gladly follow one who laid down his arms and went over to the enemy, would 1t not also promote harmony for those who left to announce that they will gladly sup port some one who has an unbreken record of regularity?

SECTION 0F CANAL OPEN
SAND AND ROCK FLEET MAY
 NAVIGATE FIVE MltEe.
This Is a Big Saving of Tlme-Ten Miles in All Are Now
 Navigable.

Washington, Aug. 20-Fve and a half miles of the Panama canal at the Atlantic entrance was opened to nav igation for the sand and rock fleet of the Atlantic division last week, ac- cording to the issue of the Canal Rec ord, which has reached this city. This section, added to the five miles at the Pacific entrance, which is open to vessels of all kinds, brings the total of the canal now in actual use up to 101s miles.
 The division just opened is not com pleted, but it has channel 15 feet deep at it's shallowest point and a width of 100 feet at its narrowest point. The dredges are constantly working on this part, broadening and deepening it to the full width of 300 feet and the full depth of 45 feet
 The part just opened does away with the long detour via the old French canal, which it was necessary for the rock and sand laden ships to make in hauling their cargoes from Porto Bello to Nombre de Dios 10 Gatun.

WILL PAY DOCTORS BILL
NEW YORK CITY TO BEAR FIX
 PENSE FOR GAYNOR.
Attack by Gallagher Was Purely the Result of Mayors Official
 Position.

New York, Aug. 20.-Although the matter has not yet been officially dis cussed, undoubtedly when the proper time comes action will be taken by the board of aldermen to relieve May or Gaynor of the burden of paying personally for the medical attention that has been -neGessitated by Gala gher's attempt to kill him.
 The attack came directly because of the official position MT. Gaynor held. There was nothing personal in it; nothing that had to do with MT, Gaynor. It was clearly regarded as the duty of the city of New York to pay the mayors doctor bills.
 The assassination of Mckinley and Garfield cost the United States $102,- 800. President Garfield was shot July 2, 1881. He fingered until Sep tenn Der. The cost of medical atten- tion, nurses and all other outlays in- cidental to the shooting amounted to $57,5O0
