. Washington. Dec. 16.-In the confusion
OF the political situation growing out of
President Roosevelt's repeated announce
ment that he will not again be a candi-
date and would not accept renomina :
ton, the most sensational reports are be-
ing circulated in Washington and pub
lished abroad.
II has become a conviction in the minds
Of public men In the past few days that
the presidents announcement OF last
Wednesday night was born of or at least
precipitated by the activity OF the friends
OF the secretary of the treasury. George
B. Cortelyou I'm taking advantage of the
Roosevelt sentiment throughout the coun-
try 10 nominate delegates whose second
choice would be Cortelyou, the president
having been moved TO act, II is said, by
the complaints OF the friends of Secre-
tary Taft.
1t is even reported with persistency that
either Secretary Cortelyou or Secretary
Taft, or both. will resign from the cabi-
net because OF the Ill feeling that has
been engendered by the alleged discovery
OF Mr. Cortelyous candidacy, which is
construed in some quarters TO mean luke
warmness on the part of the president
toward his candidate, Mr.. Taft.
In these circumstances an authoritative
statement of the situation from the View
point of the president and of Secretary
Cortelyou is interesting. According TO the
presidents side of the case. there is alb
solutely no foundation for the rumor that
Cortefyou or Taft, or both will leave the
cabinet There is no truth either in the
report that the presidents announcement
was made or FASTENED with reference To
Mr. Cortelyous candidacy. and the same
statement applies 10 the letter written by
the president to the cabinet officers
warning them against allowing federal Of
ficials 10 be elected delegates TO the Re-
publican national convention and instruct

city met In the various churches yester-
day afternoon and evening where memo
rial services for King Oscar of Sweden
were held.
The church on Beacon avenue was ini-
pressively draped and many OF the audi
ence that assembled wore signs OF grief.
The services included chiefly a sermon
extolling the virtues and good qualities
OF the late king. The pastor OF the church
also spoke or the life OF the king and said
in part:
king Oscar was essentially the 'peo-
ple's king and bore them a great love,
being himself greatly beloved In return.
In particular he was fond OF the school
