AWAITING BUR1ONS DECISION
TAFT SUPPORTERS ANXIOUS
ABOUT CAUCUS PROPOSITION.
Position Of Cleveland Candidate for
the Ohio Senatorship to Be Made
Known Before Long.

COLUMBUS. Ohio. December 29.-The
arrival of Charles Dick in the city this
afternoon and the conferences that are
to follow are looked forward to as offer
ing the only new features of the sena-
torial fight today. Senator Dick is ex-
tremely interested in the outcome of the
contest as to who shall succeed Senator
Joseph Benson Foraker. in SO far as it
will have bearing on his own candidacy
to succeed himself in 1911. Mr. Dick was
expected in Columbus early today, but
was delayed, lin reaching the city
The supporters Of Charles P Taft of
Cincinnati, who last night demanded that
a caucus of republican state senator's and
representatives be held Saturday after
noon or evening to determine the nominee
of the party, were anxiously awaiting to-
day a definite statement as to the
position Representative Theodore E.
Burton Of Cleveland and his adherents
Will take with regard to the caucus prop
osition. Mr.. Burton has intimated that he
will make his position clear within the
next thirty-six hours.
Either Burton or Taft.
All surface indications seem to point to
a choice either of Mr.. Burton or Mr.
Taft. Senator Foraker. however, has es-
tablished his headquarters at the Chit
tenden Hotel and has been receiving d
host of personal friends since reaching
the city. MIR. Foraker continues strongly
to deny the suggestion that he will re-
ceive democratic support in the legisa-
ture. He says democrats may vote for
one of the other candidates, but will not
cast their ballots for him.
Senator Dick has an especial interest
in the candidacy of Mr. Burton, who

open headquarters here and remain until
after the senatorial ballots have been
cast.
Talk Of Dark Horse.
The inevitable talk Of dark horse
has arrived and is being enthusiastically
inflated by the crowds of lookers-on in
the hotel Hobbies. Messrs. Taft and Bur-
ton express the utmost confidence in the
outcome of the ballottng, while Senator
Foraker's friends declare that, despite
the fact that he is popularity credited
with only twelve of the ninety-one repub-
lican votes. he is in the fight to win, and
that his influence will be keenly felt be-
fore the contest is over.

DOUGLAS, Aug 12.-(Special -
A runor was current in Ell Paso
yesterday that the Ell Tigre mine had
been purchased by the Phelps-Dodge
interests for 100000 and that the
first payment on the bonding had been
made. RumOrs of such sale have
been heard about Douglas for the past
ten days, the figures mentioned in this
city being about a. million and half
dollars less. 1t has, however, been i'm
possible to verify any such rumor and
it has geenerally been discredited. The
large consideration Is what has thrown
most doubt on the authenticity of some
of the stories. It is known that ]. S.
Douglas and Messrs. Cunningham and
Brophy are all financially interested in
the mine, but this mas not lent cred
ence to the belief that the Phelps
Dodge company have taken it over at
the figures named. The company was
placed on dividend paying basis on

It is reported from Calumet, the

1t would be surprising If the Superb
