MR. BRYAN WOULD NOT OFFER FOR REELECTION IF ELECTED PRESIDENT WILL RETIRE AT END OF HIS FIRST TERM Says Ills Nomination is as Purely From the People as Can Be and If Elected His Obligation Will be to Them. Fairview, July 10.?The followlowing statement was made by \V. J. Bryan, when at 4.34 a. 111., he received the announcement of his nomination: "The honor is the highest official possession in the world, and no one occupying it can afford to have his vi ws upon public questions biased by personal ambition Recognizing his responsibility to God and his obligations to his countrymen, he should enter upon the discharge of his duties with a singleness of purpose. "Believing that one can best do I his when he is not planning for a second term, I announce now, as I have on former occasions, that, if elected, I shall not be a candidate for reelection. This nomination is as purely from the people as can be and, if elected, my obligations will be as purely to the people. "I appreciate the honor more lx-cause it came, not from one person or a few persons, I>ut from the rank and Ide acting fteely and without compulsion.'' So far had the dawn aovanced that lights were scarcely needed when the bulletin Hashing the news of the convent ion's action arrived. It galvanized into life the somnolent spirits ot the party which had sal the night through in Bryan's own parlor. The nomince-lo be sal beside his daughlvr. (1 race, on a settee when for the third time in his life, Bryan j heard himself called to lead his party for control of the administration of the United States. A loving cup filled with tinfersnented grape juice was brought in, each taking a sip. In honor of the nomination of Bryan, the citizens ol Lincoln united in a demonstration. PHOSPHATES IN PACIFIC. Uiclicsi i'cils 1\\ it l\um<l Anion*..' the Mamlv N?n\ 11?>] 11 ir Worked. New York Sun. I( was thought a IVw years ago that j Jill the phosphate and guano beds of (lie I'acilie islands after yielding millions Ml dollars worth of lei I il izers were at length exhausted. This view lias been changed by new discoveries. I lie largest pho.-phate industry that the Pacific e\er saw is now in progress 011 two neighboring islands?the German island ol' Nauru, tlie most southern atoll el' the Marshall Croup, nid the llritish island ot' llauaba. Hundreds of islanders as well as Japanese Mtd I ii i n ese laborers are working in these phosphate diggings, and though the inductr\ Is still very young. it is } ielding over I'.OKO tons ot' prepared phosphates a year. The yield is increasing as last as Improvements are made in mining the rock and in facilities for shipping it. 1 he beds in the two islands seem to be similar in the quality of the rock, and though their thickness has not yet been ascertained, the quantity of phosphates is enormous. Numerous borings have been made all over Nauru, vhfeh comprises about f>,000 acres. Vliese borings were not meant to ascertain the total phosphate content, but merely to determine if there was enough of the rock to pay for the erection of expensive works. They were sunk, therefore, only to a depth of in to 15 feet. The Germans report that under the supertlelal earth the entire f.,000 acres are covered with phosphate beds to a depth of at least 10 or 1.1 feet, and they do ?iot know how ynich deeper the beds may go, for they have not explored tower levels. They add that it will take some generations to remove the phosphates already revealed. The two companies, German and ttriti&h, that secured concessions :o mine tho rock, have Joined their interests and are working togethor. The outside public has nothing to do with their enterprise except to buy the product Whon tho German flag was raised over Nauru 22 years ago tho 1,500 natives had no relations with the whites except to sell their eocoanuts for brandy and wretched firearms supplied by two or three unscrupulous j traders. Tho Germans stopped this trade, but It was long before (he real wealth of the little island was discovered. Now a great transformation has come. Largo steel-framed buildings, in which the rock is prepared for commerce, have been erected; an Iron pier has been extended out into the sea boyond the breakers, and linos of stool tracks lead down from the mines to the pier. But the rock is as yet taken out to the anchored steamships in small boats and the Germans have little hope of discarding this primitive method. They say the surf runs too high for ships to tie up at a landing wharf. full of th<> Wild. Chicago Inter Ocean. A vacation 'or pleasure is one tiling; a vacation for rest and recuperation is anothei. The man who is bent on pleasure may be left to his own devices, Inu the man to whom vacation time is an opportunity to roi upurnte from killing toil should use discretion. Rest is? what he needs, but (his rest should not be absolute inaction. Change is a great factor in relaxation and rest. There is an instinctive longing tor something which the daily life docs not furnish. In making this change it often Is not wise to choose the strenuous, yet there should lie enough o'- the unusual to take the mind far from the troubles that are left at home. What is the change that appeals most is known to each man himself, but certain it is I hat a change of some kind is within the reach of most of ux. And in d<>i iding Id us remember that the right kind of vacation is ;i godsend, and < lie wrong kind often worse than none, l.i't us also remember that on our part are certain obligations that obtain no lesii in the wild than in the midst of civilization. We must give the fisli and the game a fair chance for life. ? lsi> we sink to the level of the market hunter. We must kill no more than we need, else we be<ome butchers rather than sportsmen. We must set no forest fires, else we become guilty of the crime unspeakable. Finally, let ns remember that the spiritual man needs nature's inic often quite as much as the physical man. In the silent places there is opportunity for profitable communion with self and a casting up of accounts. Tho solitude and the open air and the sunshine teach many a lesson that the city has scant time to listen to; oft times the Call of the Wild is a call to higher and better things. About in different kinds of whales and dolphins are known, and although they live in the open sea and look like fish, they are not fish at all. but are true mammals, breathing air and leeding their young on milk, like cows and horses.
