Washington, Dec. 16.-The breach be-

on the question Of patronage was
widened to-day, when information was
conveyed 70 the leaders Of the insur-

Notice was given that he would not
only insist upon reappointing john j..
Lynn, whose nomination was unani-
mously rejected upon the initiative OF
Senator O'Gorman, but all others who
might be rejected under the same cir
cumstances.
This report only served to stifen

prospect OF a patronage row which bids

fortified himself with an opinion from

MEN BEHIND GUNS

Defence Inquiry.
[By Telegraph TO The Tribune. J

East Orange, n. j., Dec. l6.-Former
President Taft, addressing the Wom-
ems Club here this afternoon, said this
country has coast defences superior to
anything OF their type in the world.
Mr.. Taft asserted the chief need Is
men to operate them in time OF war.
He said he was amused at "the passing
show" in the recent agitation for bet
ter preparations for war. No investI-
cation is needed, as all the informa"
ton that such an inquiry could BRING
out now is in filed reports to Congress,
he asserted.
"We can't get large standing army
because of the pay we give our SOL
diers," continued Mr.. Taft. I'VE are
in need Of better militia.
Bryan says million men would
spring up between sunrise and sunset,
but there would be no arms for all.
Besides it takes some time to train a
man in military tactics and to make
ammunition. do not believe that we
are defenseless, and do not favor the
idea that we so into military camp"
He said that there is no harm in pro-
curing arms and ammunition, that they
may be ready when needed.
Mr.. Taft believed the European war
was an additional barrier against at
tack. He stated we must expect war
until nations can learn to control them
selves. and this country should strive
TO make war less likely and to fin |
some other instrumentality with which
to settle the differences between coun-
tries. An international court was his
suggestion.
The former President thought tnat
rho F.uropean war would "show the
beauty of peace" and countries here

post matter between sites, Ida.

awarded a contract to Francis j.

pounds, according to a bulletin
received at the postonice yester-

This means the government
will pay % cents more per 100

ing this mater from Spokane to

who have shipped thousands of
