BRYAN HAS NOT
 CONSIDERED UNITING

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 31.-When asked what he thought of the proposition of Frank A. Munsey of reuniting the two branches of the Republican party W. J. Bryan said:
 'T have not considered such sug- gestion. It has been indorsed by a few in both wings of the Republican party Such move is to be expected. It is very apparent that each wing of the Republican party is helpless with out the other, and it is also evident that neither can expect to draw large ly from the Democratic party.
 With Gov. Wilson's repeated as- sertion that his administration will be distinctly progressive, the chances are that the Democratic party will make large gains from the Roosevelt wing of the Republican party, and if there are any assertions from the Democrat ic party they will be from the reaction ary element, which is already small to the Taft wing of the Republican party. This tends to eQualize the strength of the Republican party and assure a continuance of Democratic supremacy"
 Mir. Bryan said he has no plans about going North.

 APPOINT GOETHALS

TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 3l.-There is good reason to believe that Presi- dent.elect Wilson may appoint Col. George w. Goethals Governor.Gener- al of the Panama Canal Zone, and that if he does the Senate will confirm the appointment
 President Taft named Col. GOe- thals as Governor.Genera of the Canal Zone to the Senate. He later with drew the nomination after Senator Brandegee of Connecticut had in- formed his that the Senate would not confirm the appointment. The Demo crats. so Brandegee was credited with telling the President. desired to ob- tain the patronage that might come with a change of administration in the zone. Declaring that the attempt to interject politics into the canal work was outrageous, the President declared that he would put the re- sponsibility of the completion of the canal up squarely to the new National Administration by refusing to name any one.

 Stein began what is to be a com plete confession. So astonishing was this tale of fire after fire set with the object of obtaining "easy money" from lenient insurance companies that Mir Weller was unwilling to make the details public until he had checked them all up.
