IL Interesting In many particulars.
Il would seem that rather moro OF tho 1etc-

very strong tacklng, and will only give up tho
contest With struggle. Some time ago It WAS
rumorcd that Foster YVES willing to take tho
second ptaca Oh the tfrkct, with Taft at tho
hoad. This fs found to 10 entirely incorrccr.
Foster refuses to do anything Of tho kind, aud
this puts new phaso upon the mattcr. Gen.
