NEW YORK, Dec SO. Secretary of Wr
Taft arrived here on the steamer President
Orant. after a Journey around the world.
He was accompanied by Mrs. Taft and his
son. Charles. "
When seen on board aj quarantine, Secre
tary Taft said he was not prepared to talk
on any public questions.
"1 have been away from the United
States 120 days, and so do not feel com
petent to discuss matters of American pub
lio Interest at this Itme," said he. "Ab
senoo from home has prevented me from
keeping abreast of current events.
While the work In the War de
partment has, of course. moved
along; In the usual way during my
absence, there are many matters of large
Importance which require my personal at
tention, so I expect to have my nose cluss
to the grindstone for some time to come."
The Tafts were taken off the steamer at
quarantine by the government tug General
Joseph Johnson.
Secretary Taft left for Washington at
1:14 p. m.
Japan for Peace,
Secretary Taft was taken direct to Jersey
City, where he took an afternoon Pennsyl
vania train for Washington. Questioned
by a party of newspaper men, the secretary
said that the departure of the Pacific fleet
had not been discussed by the Japanese
emperor and himself, but that the feeling
In the Island nation was that the maneuver
was merely a test of the efficiency of the
navy and was not to be construed as any
thing remotely akin to an unfriendly
measure.
"The Japanese people are strongly In
favor of peace," he went on. "I can speak
with emphasis on this matter. Nothing
but peace Is to be expected. The trade re
lations between the two nations Is a strong
factor for pacification. Of Japan's yearly
exports of $ieo,000,0n0 over-one-third comes
to the United States. Most of their exports
here are embroidery, laces arid artistic goods
of all kinds, and this trade means a liveli
hood to. a grent number of small traders on
the island. This, If nothing else, would
make the body of the nation oppose any act
of hostility." '
Secretary Taft said the object of his trip
was the Inspection of the Philippines, and
he had no mission to or message for any
other nation. The only reason he returned
by way of Siberia, he said, was that It
saved one day In time.
One of the Interviewers asked:
"Who Is your choice for president, Mr.
Secretary?"
"Well," came the laughing reply, "I think
I will have to leave that to inference."
The secretary Is looking remarkably well.

SETTLERS COMING TO WYOMING
Success of Dry Fanning; Induces Many
to Take I i Homestead
Claims.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec. 20.-(Speclal.)-A
county official bas Just returned from a
visit to the dry farming settlements in the
vicinity of Cheyenne, and makes the as
tounding statement that during the last
few months 729 settlers from this and
other states have acquired cither by home
stead entry or by purchase, tracts of land
and are arranging to farm the same. Addi
tional tracts for grazing purposes have
also been taken up. It Is estimated that
during the year no less than 1,200 farms
have been taken up In the Immediate
vicinity of Cheyenne. Much of this was
formerly sheep and cattle range, controlled
by Illegal fences, which President Roose
velt ordered down a year ago. Thla heavy
Influx of settlers to a small section of one
county Is an evidence of the benefits to the
west through the president's fence removal
orders. Large tracts of deeded land,
owned by cattle and sheepmen, were sold
during the summer to eastern Investment
and colonization companies, which In turn
cut up tho big pastures into small tracts
and sold to the settlers.
The county official says he counted 108
new dwellings and houses under construc
tion on the farms of these settlers In the
vHclnlty of the town of Luther alone.
Work of Sheen Commissioners.
CHKYENNR, Wyo.. Dec. .-Speelal.)
The report of the State Board of Sheep
Commissioners, Just filed with Governor
Brooks, shows that during the fiscal year
Just closed the board employed twenty-
three Inspectors 1n examining and quaran
tining and treating sheep on the ranges,
for which nearly f7,0o was expended in
salary and traveling expenses. The board
expended in office expenses, etc., $3,000,
making total expenditures of over $10,000.
During the same period the board collected
In Inspection fees about $11,250.
During the twelve months 272,808 sheep
and bucks imported to the state were
dipped once and 89,045 sheep and bucks
found exposed on the ranges were dipped
once, making a total of 812,454 sheep and
bucks put through the vats once.
Diseased sheep were dipped twice, as
follows: Sheridan county, 33,373; Crook
county, 425; Big Horn county, (,M; Laramie
county, 49,204; Sweetwater county, 202; total.
$3,990, or 107,'jbO dippings of diseased sheep,
and a grand total of 4MM34 dippings during
the year. As tho dipping cost approxi
mately 3V4 cents. It will be seen that the
Importers and resident sheepmen expended
tltt.M5.lJ In treating their sheep during the
year.

EIOL'X FALLS, 8. D., Dec. 20. Special.)
The shooting and killing of several horses
belonging to Ole Kcttleson. a well known
rancher residing In the western portion of
Lyman county, has caused a renewal of
the warfare between the stockmen and
homesteaders of that region. It Is claimed
by Kettleson that he makes a practice of
kerlilng his horses inside a fence so they
canaut tresyaa upon the laud of adjoining
homesteaders, and that the shooting and
killing of his horses wss a purely malicious
act. Efforts now are being made to ascer
tain the Identity of the person or persons
who did tho shooting so they can be ar
rested and prosecuted.

OUTLOOK GENERALLY BETTER
Staples Move More Freely and Mana-
factarers Encouraged hy Numer
ous Inquiries ilulsnce of
Trad Large.
' NEW YORK, Deo. 20. R. O. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow
Will say:
Holiday trade assumed normal propor
tions this week, partially recovering
earlier looses in comparion wlin previ
ous years, and in staple lines tiirre was
a better movement in reHpon.se to more
seasonable weather. Although actual
buslnesM did not increase in tho leading
Industries, there was a more cnnnd"nl
sentiment regarding the future, numerous
inquiries encouraging manufacturers to
anticipate a steady improvement in or
tiers early In 1S08. While Moveial plants
resumed, others were added to the Kile
Hat, and the net change wan mall. The
hest news of the week was the official
report of foreign commerce In Noveinoar
that far surpassed any previous monthly
record of exports ana bimiilled a favor
able International trade buhtnee of tdi,-
bob.iai. i ins tsnouiu make it poa.slolu to
retain much of the net imports of gold.
Sentiment is more hopeful at leading
centers of the Iron and steel lndunliy.
Increased activity being generally anticl-
?ated after the holidays. No further cur
ailment of output haa occurred, reduc
tion already made proving Hutfiolent to
prevent accumulation, and few changes
were announced In quotations, except that
pig iron in Mirmlnaliam haa sold at lens
than u. fiatea Bell more freely and
new permits for building promise a good
demand for structural shapea. flanta aid
renaming that were closed and loss de
lay in securing payment is causing more
readiness to aeitept specifications. At
some points it Is difficult to find any Im
provement as yet. comu-rvatlnm deferring
all action until after the end of the year,
and advantage is taken of iho opportunity
for repair and Inventories.
Increased Inquiries are concldered en
rouraglng hIkos in the primary iirket
for cotton good. Although Utile new busi
ness has transpired bim Improvement Is
tlius fir cliletlv In sentiment. An ele
Tnent of strength IS tho reduced produc
tion, which has pi. -vented any uei umula
tion of stocks In the hands of splnurs
or converters. Imiulrlc for export have
not resulted In business and conditions
in China are not now calculated lo en
courage hopes of largo shipment. Noth
ing lias occurred to alter the course of
the market for wools. Nothing of Inter
est in exlitl!t"d in lines already opened
and there in no encouragement to submit
new llr.es to indifferent buyers.
Footwear factories In N. w Knglsnd re
port a slight increase over the volume of
business in the two preceding months,
but trade in still far below normal. Con
servatism of wholesalers during the fall
months ha left tunny concerns short of
supplies, no that there Is confidence In
the early replenishment of broken assort
ments. Prices are lower than Ust spring,
but salesmen at the south and west re
port more encouraging news. Fetter In
quiry for leather confirms the belief ex-
fressed bv tanners that shoe manufact
urers, beit makers and other large con
sumers have low-r stocks on hand than
at anv recent d.ite Hut prices ure tilll
on u higher basts than hide values, which
accounts for the reluctance of leather
consumers to provide for further neds.

In transactions in these branches from the
normal Is very marked at present and the
tendency In Industrial lines is still toward
curtailment. Instances of this being found
In the iron and steel, bituminous coal, coke,
lumber and cotton goods lines. In which
latter a canvass Is now being made by
New Knglund manufacturers as to the
future of production. Sentiment as to the
outlook for trade next year Is very mixed.
Conditions in financial circles are still
slowly, but quite surely, approaching
normal. From the country at large there
Is reported a continued easing up of the
situation as regards cash payments, and
several cities are practically on a cash
basis, with clearing house certificates being
cancelled and cashier's checks and emerg
ency currency being retired; but it Is to
be noted that the premium on currency
Is still mnlntalned at several large cities,
and until this disappears the normal cannot
be said to have been restored. The firm
ness in call and the scarcity of time money
at New York, with the maintenance of the
currency premium at or around 1 per cent,
however, is taken to Indicate the conserv
ing' of money supplies pending the heavy
first of the year disbursements. Interior
cities show more Inquiry for commercial
paper and considerable loans made on
time. Commercial collections are slow and
as yet reflect little benefit from the current
holiday purchasing. Several cities enlarged
savings bank withdrawals, presumably due
to holiday expenditures.
A very favorable feature In the present
period of repression is the tendency toward
enlargement of our export trade. This is
most notable in the grain trade, and not,
by the way. entirely on the-wrst coast of
the country, because the movement on the
north Pacllic coast Is very large and shows
signs of heavy takings of wheat, largely
for the 1'nltcd Kingdom. November ex
port trade was of r.-cord proportions, and
It seems evident that there Is a demand
of large proportions for this country's prod,
ucts "at a price."
The financial stringency has affected the
shoe trade more than leather; Wholesalers
are said to be carrying good sized stocks,
as retailers have bought conservatively.
