Washington. April 18.-Secretary OF
War Taft will soon be back in Wash
ipgton and there will Immediately en-
sue a series of important conferences
having a bearing on national politics.
It should be remembered that the dis
tinguished Ohioan has never announc-
ed that he would be candidate for
the presidential nomination, but he has
let it be known that he was in a recep-
tive frame of mind During his mean
aerings around the tropics there has
been a lot doing at home, and 1t will
take the secretary of war some time to
catch up with the procession of events.
Political Washington wants to know
whether it is Secretary Taft's intention
to 60 out to Ohio and mix it with the
Foraker-Dick combination. If he does,
the Buckeye state will be dark and
bloody ground for long time to come.
Some months ago Mr.. Taft was
smoked out on the presidency. A re-
port was put in circulation in the mat
ter that made it necessary for him to
that he announced that if his party
called he would respond. He made it
clear. however, that it was his belief
that to a certain extent the Office
should seek the man. and that under
no circumstances would he indulge in
a rough and tumble for the honor of
leading the republican cause in the
campaign of 1908. Taft is a man of
peace. but he can fight when he is
hit During his absence from the
United States, Brother Charles, the
Cincinnati editor. has been engaged in
q wordy war with Fire Alarm joe
Foraker. and the end is not yet.
Whether Secretary Taft intends to en-
gage in verbal fisticuffs with Senator
Foraker will not be known until the
former returns to Washington
The administration is deeply inter-
ested in the campaign that is now be-
ing conducted in behalf of the big war
secretary. While President Roosevelt
has not said SO it is known that he
fayors Taft's nomination, and that he
WAL advise his friend to visit Ohio
and measure swords with Foraker. It
is hoped by administration leaders that
Taft will abandon his plan to visit
the Philippines and devote his time to
p1aying politics in Ohio. The fear is
expressed here that if the secretary
Of war does not put up an active cam
paign in his own behalf the opposition
in Ohio will carry off the states del
egation to the next republican national
convention.

plenty. The various stages of decom- position of the birds showed that day after day the deadly creature had wis., ited the colony, killing swiftly and sl- lently in It's burrow bird after bird and pair after pair, until it was found that the entire seventeen pairs of mutton birds had fallen victims The last pair was freshly killed. probably within a few nights of the time when this trag- edy was discovered.
 When the mouth of the penguin's burrow was reached different tale was told. There, at the very entrance, lay the stoat, weltering in Its own blood, with almost every bone in it's body fractured. Confident with the easy victories over the poor mutton birds, the stoat had crept in it's sinister way into the nesting hole of the penguins, and had met more than it's match. The loose blubber, and thick, tough skin off, fered no firm hold to the animals teeth, and when once the strong, sharp beak had closed upon it's head or body it could offer little resistance. After kill- ing it the birds had thrown its body outside, and. penguin-like, had calmly gone on with the duties of incubating. It seemed a great pity that the pair of penguins had not nestled on the land- ward end of the peninsula and thus have been the first creatures visited by the stoat The mutton birds would then have been saved and the murder ous life of the weasel cut short-C. w.

might being right in the penguin code.
 The birds have regular fighting places. and one such battle-ground was found
 under an .overhanging ledge. The re-
 sults of innumerable encounters were present in the shape of great quanti- l ties of loose feathers surrounding the little fighting ring. which itself was clear of all debris. Although the beak of a penguin is so formidable a weapon when used on thin-skinned enemies, lyet thir own skin and blubber are SO resistant that they can infict no in- jury by this means. The customary mode of fighting is really kind of boxing, or "fiippering," it might be called. The two combatants proceed to the fighting place and then walk cautiously about each other, joekeying for an opening and ready to take in- Istant advantage of a false step or
 move on the part of the opponent. All
 however, Is solemn and decorous, con- sistent with the rest of the life of
 these strange little beings.
 When at last each secures a good grip on the neck or body of the op-
 ponent, the real fighting begins. As
 nine-tenths of the life of penguins Is
 spent on the open seas, where they pursue and capture fish, swimming with great swiftness by strokes of the
 hlpperlike wings. it can we'll be imag-
 ined that the strength of their wings
 Is very great and when the two fight
 CTS begin to belabor each other with rapidly vibrating fiipper strokes, each
 resounding whack must make a con- siderable impression even on the pro
 tecting coat of blubber fat. No one has ever recorded the finish of such an encounter, but it is not probable that they result fatally. The weaker of the two must soon succumb under such severe punishment and yield the field and the fair penguin mate to his stronger rival.
 The strength of the wing strokes can be tested by allowing a penguin to take hold of ones coat sleeve. or better, the back of the hand. The third or fourth stroke will draw blood and one is soon fully satisfied as to the penguin's abili- ty in this respect.
 The tough skin and the loose, rolling blubber beneath, besides breaking a fall and protecting the bird from the icy waters in which it lives, sometimes subserves another most important pur- pose.
 IA small colony of short-tailed petrels or mutton birds, as the New Zealand CTS call them, had nested for years in shallow burrows on a little promon- tory on the south shore. They were so tame and so fearless of man that they l could be lifted in the hand from the l nest and replaced without resistance. { Near the extremity of the promontory | ] single pair of penguins had their nest, l llso in burrow in the ground.
