WAsHINGTON, April 1T was gen.
orally accepted around the Capitol to-day
as a foregone conclusion that Candidate
TAYLOR. OF Kansas, will eventually be re-
jected by the Senate. The affirmative

Committee is not likely 10 be increased
by more than one, II that, when the full
vote OF the committee has been recorded.
il is understood thaI the friends Of Mr..
TAYLOR in the Senate have now given up
all hope of securing favorable report
from the committee. and, indeed. Of Sc
curing his confirmation. An adverse re-
port from the committee to which a
nomination Is referred is accepted gen.
orally as equivalent to d subsequent re-
lection by the Senate. and in this case
il is felt That, even with favorable re-
port from the committee, this nOmina-

Republicans. would stand very little

ionrnmont produced visible effect upon MN.
