Washington, Jan. 6. —As far as the Taft situation is concerned, the atmosphere hereabouts has been clarified by the president’s declaration tlyat he is in the nomination fight till the death and that he will go into the convention if he has but one Vote at his back. v The supporters of the president are firmly convinced now that in the end the convention will be compelled to accept Taft for the reason that the policies of a Republican national administration are on trial and that the head of that administration is the proper candidate to represent these policies. There are also Taft supporters who tell you that the opposition to his renomination will crumble and be utterly shattered by the time the Republicans assemble in Chicago in June next The president had a number of visitors, including Senators Crane, Ntilson, Smoot, Dillingham, Brandegee, and Brown of Nebraska, and they told the president that he could stand pat with the certain knowledge that the delegations of their respective states would be for him tfs the end. Other Influential Republicans who visited at the White House congratulated the president on his firm stand in the present situation If is ttie opinion of friends of Cob one! Roosevelt, on the other hand, that opposition to the president’s renomination Will not crumble before convention time, but the Roosevelt men already have outlined their plan of battle. 1 There are many old supporters of Roosevelt who believe they can injure President Taft through his reciprocity measure.

GENERAL NEWS.
WASHINGTON —Some radical reductions in duties are looked for in the Democratic steel tariff schedule, which the house ways and means committee probably will have ready for submis : sion about the middle of this month. It is stated that in many instances the Pbyne law rates will be cut in half and that the highest rates of duty allowed on any product of steel or iron will not be more than 35 per cent ad valorem. The greatest fight probably will be over the duty on tin plate, which, it is is to be cut from $1.20 to 75 cents a hundred pounds. Iron ore is expected to go on the free list along with all manufactures of steel and iron that wer made duty free in the farmers’ free list of the extra session.
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y.— That Col. Theodore Roosevelt will be a candidate for president again if the call comes strong enough for him to respond to it is the statement made by John Burroughs, the author-naturalist, in an interview just published here. Much Significance is attached to this prediction-on account of Mr. Burroughs’ intimacy with the former president, w’ho w’hen chief executive of the nation honored-Mr. Burroughs by making a special trip to visit him at “Slabsides,”'his .home near here, and later he had Mr. Burroughs as his guest on a hunting trip in the W’est. The two have many tastes in common.
