"You are certainly looking well, Mr

they shook hands.
"Yes, but I am a little too fat. I could
spare you some of my flesh." said the Ne
brnskan, as he looked at the thin form of
the Illinois senator.
"Well, you are growln;!," remarked Sen
ator Cullom, "In fact, .'u are growing In
more ways than one,1' whereupon Mr.
Bryan smiled, and after a few more words
with Senator Cullom. walked Into the offi
ces. Before he could get to the presi
dent's doorkeeper a dozen people stopped
him and shook his hand.
Mr. Bryan was ushered Into the cabinet
room, which was filled with people. The

At the conclusion of the Interview Mr.

his talk with the president hnd been cor

discussed several matters.
"It was a pleasure to commend his atti

"Not on all things, then?" he was asked.
"No, of course pot." said Mr. Bryan. "I
believe In speaking well of any policy that
Is good, regardless of what party Is sup
porting it. I have often been accused of
being a populist merely because I have
given my support to some things advocated
by that party. I suppose I Trill now be
accused of being u republican because I
agree with President Roosevelt's views on
some things. I think the president is un
mistakably right In his demands as to
railway legislation and I told him so. I
also think Mr. Garfield of the bureau of
corporations is right In recommending that
corporations be required to take out fed

Income tax and hope to see It brought
about."
"How can It be brought about?"
"By a constitutional amendment," Mr.
Bryan suggested. Mr. Bryan said he
would leave Washington tomorrow night

WIDOW OF WORKINGMAN PEEK
Countess of SeancM Talks f i.nte
Haalinnd Who Labored Tilth
Ills Hands.
LONDON, Jan. 21.' tSpoclal Cablegram to
The Bee.) Anne, countess of SeaHeld, who
has Just Joined tho Auxiliary league of
the Salvation Army, la proud to be known
as the widow of a worklugmnn peer.
In New Zealand In the '80s she shared
to the full the many strange vicissitudes
of her husband and cousin, Francis Wil
llum Oglivic-Grant, tenth earl of Sea
field, Viscount Reldhavcn, Baron Ogllvle
and Baron Strathstey, The dowuger
counters of sea field this week told the
stdry of her husband's career ifs a work
lngmun. "My husband," said the countess, "was
a gentleman, hut, what is more than that,
he was a man. When hard times came to
us in Oamaru and fair weather friends
deserted us. the poor and exiled son of
an ancient race saw no disgrace In toiling
with his hands to keep our home together.
Taking off his old brown velvet shooting
Jacket and laying uslde lis gun, he Joined
the ranks of labor, shouldertcl his pick
and shovel and In the garb of an ordinary
worklngman, went wherever work called
him.
"With a house full of babies at home
he coulel not afford to refuse- work, how
ever rough. lie tolled as navvy on the
roads, laying down tram lines,
oiggmif
,.
nnd fencing ami rabbiting up country
often sleeping In the open air, or in a
henhouse. For three whole weeks I have
known him to be vainly seeking work
with a single sixpence In his pocket, which
he dare not spend
"Among his mates were many men of
gooel family, scions of ancient races, who
discarded their titles. My husband sought
work under hla true name. First as Vis
count Re idhiiven, then as tha earl of 8ea
tleid he was known to his mates and thero
was not a soul in the 'Little White Stone
city,' as we called Oamaru, but loved,
honored and rcapected the w orklnginan
peer. Amung his fellow workingmeii be
found his truest friends. That Is why I,
his widow, cunnot be'ar to hear the work
lngman slandered. In 1W8 he catno Into
the earldom und I look buck upon that
day as the blackest lu our lives, for my
husband, still a worklngman, died within
a few months of coming into the title."
The present curl of Sealleld is the chl
rst son of the worklngman peer. Six
years ago h. married a New Zealand girl.
A peeress playwright Is a possibility of tho
future If the dowager countess of Sea
field fulfills her intention of writing "a
play bused on some of the romantic Inci
dents of her life as a workingman peeress.

The markets have not lluctuated to any

Much confidence In future values Is dis

both Jobbers and retailers feel sufe In car

The wholesale grocers report the demand

Healthy condition, with the general ten
dency of rriccs upw.iid rather than other
wise. In the case ct sugar the market Is
exceedingly strong. Raws have advam-ed
both In .New York and London and re
fined gnnie's rcspoiuleel with an advanca
on all grades ol 10 cents per leu pounds.
Present Indications are that still higher
pliers will be experienced In the near fu
ture. Raws sold in New York last week
at B :!-P.e which is the highest price paid
In severs! years. Holders were asking at
the close ot the week S'v and still more
for inter delivery. Those whei claim to
be thoroughly well Informed believe that
the top bus not yet been reached.
The corfee market was rather Irregu
lar last wecK. particularly on options. The
ai'tunl market was llrmlv held. Holelers do
not setm to be disposed to- sell for less
than full list pi ices and many of tne
largest operators believe that plie-es will
go still higher. The actual coffee la 111
sltong haiuls and any unfavorable reports
that might lie received regarding the new
ctop Would naturally have a bullish In
lluence. Receipts at New Y'ork are steadily
falling off ami the demand does not seem
to be up to expciiat loiis. Taking every
thing Into consideration the market may
be' said to be In n good healthy condition,
although there Is u movement on the part
of some to bear the market.
The cheese murket is in a very strong
position, as sic ks urn much lighter than
I hey were a year ago. When the spring
il'-tnaiid sets In tho Ki'iie-ral opinion Is that
higher prices are sure to rule-. This, of
course-, applies to fancy October made
g.iO.la.
The canned goods situation Is not ma
terially different from what It was a week
ago. There is a greater Inquiry for etand
iird tomatoes, but so far us learned the
actual purchases have not been large.
Feeling is a little firmer and very few
cheupTots can be picked up. There Is quite
a variety In the asking prices for spot
corn, owing largely to the great difference
In quality. It seems that lust year quite
a few packers put up corn that was hard
und dry nnd now they are experiencing
conside rable difficulty In moving It at any
thing like satisfactory prices.
Gallon apples are reported to he In a
gooel strong position and mnat New York
holders have advanced their Ideas lfiiir.o

low prices which have prevailed for some
time past, but prese-nt Indications are that
the caiini'rs will come to some kind of an
agreement, and In case that dona occur
prices will undoubtedly advance.
Fancy salmon In fiats !h said' to be In
very light supply and halves are also prao

an advancing murket on both lines may ba

Dried fruits are attracting more attention

So tar us local conditions are concerned,
Jobbers seem to be well satisfied. They are
busy shipping out their advance orders
of wash goods and spring furnishing geioels
and uro getting reudy for the housa trade
which will undoubtcilly be lively tor the
next six weeks. A few buyers have al
ready arrived and placed llbe-ral order,
and from advices received there will be
good many In this week. Traveling sales
men have been meeting with gooel sueeesa

thev have hud for the lust few ths
and are looking forward to a very prosper
ous spring business. The unanimous opin
ion seems la be that conditions in the
territory tributary to Omaha are belle
than they have ever been.
Hardware Active and Steady.
The demand for hardware Is Btlll very
brisk anil In fact exceptionally heavy. Re
tailers throughout the country havo en
joyed a verv prospermia season, and as a
result thev are constantly running out of
seasonable and staple goods and their or
ders have kept locul Jobbers busy ull the
winter. Merchants are ulso buying very
freely of spring lines und are getting
anxious to have them in stea k. Jobbers sra
rushing out their spring goods as fast as
possible-, but are being detained to quite
un extent by the slow deliveries being
maele bv the- manufacturers. It seems that
they are again badly behind with their
orders, so that Jobbers fear thev will ex
perience considerable clllhVulty In getting
the goods they want und at the time they
want them. , ,
There Is nothing new to be salel of the
market. Prices are firm all along the line,
but there have been no Important changes
rime last report. It is simply a good, linn,
healthy murket.
Rubber floods I'nrhanaed.
The rubber situation Is Just about tha
same as It was a we-e k ago. There have
been no developments In ihe market una
nothing at the present times indicates that
there will be any Immediate change.
The general snowstorm is helping retail
ers to clean up their winter lines and
wholesalers are ulso selling quite a little
heavy sluff, but of course at this lata
clat merchants will not buy any great
quantity. There Is also, qulto a demand
for light weight rubbers, both In whole
sale u.id retail way.
Orders fer next fall are coming in as
freely as could be expected. There seems
to be quite an Inclination to cover ut pres
ent prlcea for fear of su advance.
Leather goods ura also selling about as
freely as could be expected. Merchants, as
a rub-, are looking for u brisk spring trudw
und arc slocking up quite freely.
T,,eie was very little change lost week
In prices ruling on fruits and vegetubb-s.
The demand waa ls-tter than It wus the
week befeire, owing to the milder weather.
Green stuff In particular sold well.
The egg marset waa rather Irregular,
