Jus.e T,yIor on the Result.

Judge TAYLOR was found by Journal re-
norter at the Denison after the result Of
the caucus became known taking his de-
feat in very philosophical mood. He re-
marked that he was in the situation of the
farmer who said, at the end of a bad sea-
son. that his crop didn't turn out quite as
well as he expected, and he "knowed it
wouldn't when he planted it,"

result with unfeigned cheerfulness, and i

NO WHITE PAPER POOL.
Efforts to Eject a. Combination of
Manufactur Have Failed.

NEW YORK. Jan. 12.-It was learned
definitely this afternoon that the negotia-
tions which have been pending for several
weeks between manufacturers of white
paper used by newspapers to effect n pool
ing arrangement whereby the product OF
all mills should be handled by a stock
company, with head offices in this city had
fallen through and that the project had
been abandoned. n meeting was held in
Boston a few days ago at which certain
manufacturers having mills In process of
construction insisted that they should be
given representation In the pool on the
basis of future production, and that Others
contemplating such improvements should
not be allowed such privileges. This was
the debatable point which the manufac-
turers have since been considering. with
the result that negotiations were to-day de-
clared off.
