Chairman of Republican National Committee Ready to Quit, New Haven, Dec. 26.—That Chair- man William R, Willcox of the repub- lican national committee intends to put his resignation in the hands of the committete at its next meeting sched- uled for Washington within two months can be positively stated, it was said yesterday. Mr. Willcox, how- ever, will resign only on condition that a forward lookng member of the party is named as his successor, a man who shall combine powers of leading the east and west, such as the old stand patters showed they could not do, in the L national election.

Mr. King is understood ta have the support of a large western element of the party, and what seem to have been the chimerical dreamings of a few Connecticut politicians, *when the Bridgeport leader took Judge Hen- ney’s place on the national commit- tee, takes on the alignments of possi- bility.

So un- usual was it that it w. necessary to perform an autopsy vesterday after- noon to actually determine the true nature of the disease, THEY OLATMED THE PRIZE.

The steam- ship agents throughout the United States contract to accept freight to ber forwarded to New York or Boston, and shipped on the first available ves- sel. Freight is not accepted by the agents for any particular steamship or any set date. By order of the British ment grain, flour, cereals, and other foodstuffs have precedence, and the less important freight has to remain‘ on the piers until there is an oppor- tunity to ship it. The companies will not he able to withhold the sailing dates of their steamships from the postmaster, whos has to have it for the foreign mailing list. A steamship manager said yester- % that the mail would be marked in the postoffice list to close at a cer= tain hour and the steamship must leave her pler a few hours later. Af~ terward the captain would anchor domewhere outside Sandy Hook until | the next morning if he deemed it ex- pedient to do so. * The Italian ships are advertised to ail on certain dates from New York, and generally leave from two tossix days later. The French line agents have not received any instructions thus far to refuse information abgut the arrival and departures of their vesscls from New York, but may get the orders from the head office in Paris by the Rochambeau, which is due from Bordeaux this week.
