New York* Dec. 10.—William H.
Taft, secretary of war, returned today
from his trip around the world bring-
ing renewed assurances ot Japan’s
friendliness toward th© United States,
but declining to say anything with
resped" to the political sltuafton in
this country. Ho said he had been too
long out of intimate touch with oli-
tical affairs at home to dicuss them in
any way. One of Mr. Taft’s Intervlew-
ers huff the temerity to ask: "Mr.
Secretary, tell us who is your choice
for prevident." Amid great laughter in
which he heartily joined, the secretary
replied: “I guess I will have to leave
. that to inference.” .
Mr. Taft left for Washington on an
early afternoon train saying that ac-
, cumulated matters would keep his
noee to the official grindstone for some
time to come, and that the preparation
of hls special report on the Philippines,
which will be in book form, would also
require much of his time In. the near
future.
During his two hours' stay in New-
York, Mr. Taft was aboard the army
tug General Joseph E. Johnston which
had taken him from the liner Presi-
dent Grant at quarantine. Newspaper
men who had gone down the bay to
meet tho returning secretary learned
ho had transferred and the followed
a lively chase in an endeavor to over-
haul the army boat with the created
and four, starred ting of the secretary
of war flying at the masthead. Tho
Johnston had been placed at the dis-
posal of Henry W. Taft, the secretary's
brother. General Preerick p. Grant,
commander of the department of tho
east, also went down on the John-
ston lo pay his respects. First the
secretary was carried to Jersey City
to find out about trains nnd there it
was announced he would receive the
newspaper men at West Twenty-third
street at a given hour. The small
army of reporters at the pier found
they were again a few minutes late.
Away went the »©porters again and
the secretary finally was overhauled
just as he was about to take the train
for Washington. He was most cordial
in manner anc inughingly remarked
I Injunction Against Scalpers.
i San Antonio, Dec. 20.—A sweeping
temporary injunction against the ticket
scalpers here has been issued by Judge
wyer of the Fifty-seventh district
court, and it is believed it will be
successful in putting them out of busi-
ness. The injunction follows closely the
recent decision of the supreme court of
the United States and applies to all
hon-transferrable tickets. The scalpers
i here have made a long and hard fight
and will not quit Tow until they test

Cromwell drew a pencil through tho
