ARMY SEEKS BETTER HORSES.
Government to Supervise Horse Breed
 ing for the Mounted Service.

Washington, March 13.-A new plan has been adopted for obtaining horses specially adapted to the mounted serv- ice of the army. In its main features this plan is similar to that in vogue in several European countries, where government agricultural departments superintend the breeding of horses, and the army makes it's purchases from among those so bred.
 In recent letter to the secretary of agriculture on the subject Secretary Dickinson said that the war depart ment seeks to obtain horses suitable for remounts which have been spe- cially bred under government super vision for military purposes The is said to be expensive and otherwise unsatisfactory.

NEW YORK SITUATION
 IS STILL IN THE CLOUDS
Strong Disposition to Demand the Re-
 tirement of Woodruff.

New York, March 13.-After a. day Of conference and compromises, the situation in the republican party of New York state is still in the clouds. Hostilities have been postponed. Both the partisans of Senator Root Gov ernor Hughes and Senator Hinman on the one hand and those of Timothy L. Woodruff, chairman of the state com mittee, on the other. preserve a glum mien- There is no desire to duplicate in the republican party the situation over the state chairmanShip which lately affected the democratic party. It is not wished in endeavoring to remove MT. Woodruff to make him a Corners, and Mir. Root in attempting it does not wish to be a Murphy.
 Yet 1t is felt on the fate of Woodruff the republican party in the elections next fall
 Senator Root. Lloyd C. Griscon, pres fdent of the county committee. and at large believe that Woodruff and his allies are directly responsible for the election of Aids as president pro tenn. of the state senate in the first instance and. when that proved mistake. of electing Senator Cobb to succeed him, which latter act they feel to be not only a. personal affront to Senator Root but a second mistake.
 Therefore there is a strong tempta- ton to demand that Woodruff retire and it is understood that it was with the express intention of demanding his resignation that Senator Root came to New York last night
 Senator Root would not say directly today that such was his purpose, but he virtually admitted it.
 What do you, as judges of politics, think I came on for?' he asked the newspaper men. And when they told him what the general understanding was, he added: %1 seldom fail to ac- comp1ish what I set out to accom- plish.''
 Tn this spirit he talked today with Mir. Griscom and James W. Wads- worth, speaker of the assembly, and tonight with MT. Woodruff himself Neither he nor Mir Griscom would dis cuss the outcome of these conferences but Mir. Woodruff was more communi- cative. He consented to interview him. self for the newspapers.
 You may say this," he said:
 When Mir. Woodruff was asked if Senator Root had demanded his res ignation, he answered: Ask Root'''
 When Mir. Woodruff was asked if there was any question of retiring him he answered with even more empha- sis: Ask Root
 When MT. Woodruff was asked if he intended to resign of his own voli- tion, he answered with an emphasis bordering almost on belligerency: TASK Senator Root."''
 In spite of the wide diversion of opinion as to what it is proper to do in the present crisis within the repub- lican party of the state and what is the proper way to do it, both sides are still sincerely anxious to avoid any open breach at the primaries. The adherents of Woodruff sum it up in one Word-hysteria
