 Washington. Dec There have been 60 many minor notes in the Republican tune of harmony or late 90 many curious r,lm0rs have bean flying and the press has been carrying so many expressions. that east doubt upon the sincerity of pertain party leaders. not the least of whom is Senator Hanna, tnht President Roosevelt has grown buster than ever campaigning for nis nomana- ton
 He has succeeded in stirring up the ani- mals of his geological collection" as some of his visitors were inadvertently called by The Washington Evening Star the day some Georgia crank sent nm demon-eyed wildcat
 Foraker's soliloquy.
 One of the first of this collection to rise up and do a hind-lag dance. is Senator Foraker. who says that In his opinion there should be no question about Roose- velt's nomination Thfs afternoon. Sena- tor Platt of Connecticut interviewed him" self and gave 1t out to the press to the effect that he believed there would be no other candidate than Roosevelt, and if there was he would be defeated
 Nevertheless. the New York rimors of nti-Ropsevelt feeling. especially among the business men, are coming hither as chick as ever .,
 The glst of these stories is that the @xeat metropolitan business center. in- Nauding RapnhlIcans as well as Demo- crate, are determined to beat Rcosevelt either for the nomination or for election If nominated.
 Strenuous efforts have been made by the captains of industry to forre Hanna into the field Falling In this endsavcr.- it Is the belief of those who have been scruti- nizine the signs and studying the under current which Is vnmistakable notwith- standing it has not the stamp Of publicity. that the Republican ieaderg aaeine thAt !, they cannot get rid ef RopsevsiA. are saofa than wiiafux ko HacEilace hlln. ae !

 NFAsnWliiie. debpith tise efforts 60 sn1ooti5 she edres of things for Mir Ro1eevelt, s1e has within the last twehty-fouF hours made breaks that have presented new and Jagged surfaces. He has gwen sharp os- fense tostbe entire delegation from Ohio by sending for Lieutenant Governor Cor ion. of thet state. and asking him wheth, er he thought he was stronger than Ham ma in RuekeyeIand In the event the Sen- ator should decide to run. All this. not UithstanfiinR he had two Senator's and g score of Republican representatives from Ohio herd within telephone summons to tell him about every District in the State.
 Senator Hanna, like odell of New York has already remarked thst it was about lime to cease renewing allegiance.
 1t looks very much as though the old Affort of the RepuN'tcan bel1wethers to lead the President into peaceful and healthy pastures is about to be aban- aoned. Using another figure. it is about concluded that 1t is no good trying to lasso the White Rouse Broncho Buster, and he will. by common consent of the would-be wise of beth parties be allowed all the rope he chooses to unwind.
