: YARDS or SLEEPING PYTHON
and Al 0rang.Outang That Uses n Hair.
brush and Eats With a spoon.

There is a python seven yards long
aboard the British steamship ~lndrasamha,
in from ports of the Far East. Capt. Wilkes
measures the constructor by yards because
he was Cnce commander OF a sailing vessel
that carried them. The python has been
asleep several months. Later he will wake
up and nave a case Of insomnia that will
last until frost time comes again. He
wiggled a bit yesterday, in a sort OF jungle
nightmare perhaps. when Mike. the orang-
outang. took liberties with his tail hat a
wideawake python would have resented
by compression and deglutition. Even in
his slumber the python retained his power
to keep coiled and Mike recoiled from the
task Of unwinding him.
Besides Mike, the skipper has a panther.
He wants to sell the whole outfit. Mike lie as
tame as a Newfoundland dog. He eats rice
having learned the habit from a Chinese
master-with a spoon and is being taught
the proper use OF the knife and fork. The
mate has taught Mike how 10 use a hair
brush. and instead OF scratching in the
barbaric fashion Of the jungle he soothes
himself with the bristles. He is about
three feet tall when he chooses e stand
erect and is three years Of age. Bobbie
Wilkes. the shippers th~ree-year-old son,
has been playmate Of the orang on the long
voyage and has taught him q few tricks.
Anybody who wan a wideawske orang

to cause Secretary Taft to change the
attitude which he has taken in regard TO
his Presidential prospects. He has de-
oined to enter into or sanction any deal
OF combination in Ohio or elsewhere for
the purpose of furthering his boom. He
has taken the ground that the Presidency
10 too big and too dighiRed an Office to be
made the subject OF political jockeying
and that IL he Is TO 60 before the national
convention as a candidate for the nomina-
ton he must be unhampcred by promises
or understandings or arrangements. In
Mr.. Taft's opinion the Presidential nominal
ton aud the Senatorial nomination are
entirely separate, and he will not agree to
throw his strength as a Presidential candi-
date to Mr., Foraker in his candidacy for
the Senate in consideration OF receiving
the support OF the Foraker wing Of the
party in Ohio.
Another reason for this attitude is that
he and Mr.. Foraker represent different
political ideas. and to his mind it would
be Il surrender Of principle TO make a deal
with the Forakerites. As Representative
Burton put it in the statement which he
made yesterday: Such an arrangement
would SAVIOR OF a political bargain and
would awaken criticism, because the two
tMr. Taft and Mr.. Foraker are supposed
TO represent different ideas, especially in
regard to the policies Of the administration
of President Roosevelt
The declaration OF George B. Cox in favor
OF Taft for President and Foraker for Sena-
tor was made without consultation with Mr..
Foraker. As Mr.. Foraker says in the state
ment issued by him tonight: He made
it on his own motion and certainly not in
my interest nor with my approval 1t was
this declaration OF Mr.. Cox which started
the active efforts to produce harmony
among the Ohio Republican leaders. Since
these efforts we're begun Mr.. Cox has been in
communication with Mr.. Foraker, but has
received no comfort. MIR. Foraker declined
to indorse Mr.. Cox's course or TO excuse
II on the ground that it was necessary
to the success of the Republicans in the
Cincinnati city campaign.
The statement Of Mr.. Foraker may have
some effect on the deliberations of the
Republican leaders who are TO meet in
Columbus on Wednesday. He has many
friends among these leaders, and while
there has been evidence that they would
fellow the suggestions Of Mr.. Cox for the
