Hpeclnl to KvENixu ItnuAi.n
Pottsvilln. Jan. 3j The surnriso created
yesterday by tbe refusal of II. W. Cumuiiug,
r., to take, tho oath of ollice as District At
torney of the county was supplemented this
morning by-a coup sprung by Edgar Bechtel,
Esq., who has held the ollice for the past
term.
Mr. dimming Is a passed factor in the case.
but Mr. Bechtel evidently considers himself
very much in evidence. Through his counsel
and father, F. I. Bechtel. Esq., ho this
morning filed in the I'rotbonotary's office a
protest against the appointment to the ollice
by the court of Guy E. Farquhar, Esq.
Mr. Ilecetel claims that there has been no
vacancy in the ollice. He assorts that the
fact that District Attorney-elect Cutumlnz
did not take his oath of office does not create
vacancy, that his election aud oath gave
him tho office until his successor was duly
elected, and qualified, aud that such Is the
provision of tho constitution and Act of
Assembly of tbo Commonwealth.
t ho court has not yet passed unon the
question, but Interviews with several leading
lawyers lead to the conclusion that the point
raised is a strong ono in behalf of Mr.
Bechtel. However, the position is just this:
that .Mr. Bechtel will shut tho door of his
office upon Mr. Farquhar and appear in court
as tho District Attorney uutil full, unless
Judicial determination forces him to relin
quish tho position. The point is the first of
the kind raised in tbe history of tbe county
and it is by no means a trivial one. The
triends of Mr. Bechtel sy that if the
decision of tho county court Is adverse to tho
position taken the matter will bo carried to
the Superior Court. If this lino of action is
followed, it is safe to assume that Mr. Bechtel
will continue as District Attorney until next
sumnior, at the least.
It was rumored this afternoou that a con
sultation will bo held between the court and
Mr. Bechtel.
Both Coroner Blleler and Poor Director
Horgan have taken the oath of office, aud
yet up to tho present time the much talked
of prosecutions have not Jiateriali7ed. It is
said, however, that the pressure brought to
bear upon those having tbe prosecutions in
charge was so strong as to cause them to
weaken. 'It la not llWeiy that the public will
hear anything further from that source.
There was tt rumor to-day that another
newly-elected official made too many
promises, and those who were left out in the'
cold when the fruit fell from the tree ou the
first instant, will seek balm fortbeir wounded
feelings in the nature of threatened prosecu
tions, with the hopo that the oflicial In ques
tion will tako the same course as did Itenj.
Cuuimlngs. It Is doubtful tbat their hopes
will be realized.

Harrlsburr. Jan. 3. The caucus of
the Republican membens-elect of the
hous of representatives last night wm
an extremely harmonious affair. John
11. Knrr, of Lackawanna, was the
choice for speaker, hie opponents being
Ward H. BIIob, of Delaware, and George
II. Hosnck. of Allegheny. The names
of 130 members were on the caucus roll,
and there were six absentees. The vote
on the speakership stood: Farr, 88;
Hosack. 28; Bliss. 8. The candidates
did not vote, and. acting- upon tele
graphic authority, the chairman cast
the vote of Mr. Clark, of Washington.
On motion of Mr. IJIIss. seconded by
Mr. Hosnck, the nomination of Mr. Farr
was made unanimous. Mr. Farr made
a brief speech, expressing his thanks
for the honor. Chief Clerk Jere B. Rex,
of Huntingdon, and Resident Clerk A.
D. Fetterolf, of Montgomery, were
unanlmonsly re-elected, and a slate
committee of 30 was named to select
the minor ofTlclalR. The Republican
nominees were promptly elected on the
organization ot the house today.
Mr. miss offered two resolutions de
signed to expedite the work of the leg
islature. They were adopted unanl
monsly. The first resolution favors
adjournment not later than Thursday,
April 20, and the second urges that the
appropriation commlKee of the house
shall report the general appropriation
bill to that body on or before March
15, and that notice shall be given to
every Institution soliciting state aid
that the appropriation bills In their be
half must be presented to the legisla
ture not later than the date named.
A caucus of the Democratic members
of the house of representatives was
held InBt evening In the supreme court
chamber. A resolution was adopted
that the nominees for speaker, chief
clerk and resident clerk accept the
nominations with the understanding
that the same be subjected to any
changes or substitutions hereafter
made by the caucus In arranging a
fusion. William L. Creasy, of Colum
bia, was the unanimous choice of the.
caucus for speaker. Ralph K. Shaner,
of Pottstown, was nominated for chief
clerk: George M. Wambaugfi! of Har
rlsburg, for resident clerk, and Peter J.
Hughes, of Philadelphia, for reading
clerk. The a!-rnan, Mr. Dixon, of
Elk, was directed to confer with the
chairman of the senate Democratic
caucus with reference to selecting the
time and place of holding a Joint cau
cus of the senate and house for the
nomination of a candidate for United
States senator.
Mr. Hasson. of Venango, offered a
resolution, which was adopted, that a
committee be appointed to confer with
a committee representing the Inde
pendent Republicans should they ap
point Buch a committee to arrange
for fusion on the organization of the
house. Mr.-Kklnner. of Fulton, said the
Independent Republicans had not pro
duced sufficient votes to make n suc
cessful fusion nnd that he was not In
favor of the resolution.
Several other members urged the
adoption of the resolution on theground
that they owed their elections largely
to the assistance they had received from
the Independent Republicans. Mr.
Skinner finally withdrew his opposition
and the resolution was adopted. Messrs.
Skinner, Hasson, Foster, Creasy and
Dixon were appointed as the com
mittee.
The conference of the Republican
members of the senate was also held
last evening, at which William P. Sny
der, of Chester, was unlanlmously noml;
nateel ror president pro tern- Eaward
W. Smiley, of Vennngo, was nominated
for chief clerk; J. Allen Leeds, of Phil
adelphia, fur reading clerk; John II.
Rhey, rf Carlisle for reading clerk, and
Samuel H. Cochrane, of Klttannlng, for
sergeant at arms.
The Democratic senators held their
caucus In a committee room In the new
capltoI. Harvey W. Haines, of York,
was nominated for president pro tern..
and on today's organization received the
complimentary vote of the Democratic
senators.
The" fight for the United States sena-
torshlp depends largely upon the time
of holding the Joint Republican caucus.
Senator Quay's friends have fixed the
meeting for this evening, and if a ma
jority ot the Republican legislators at
tend his nomination is assured. His
manngers predict that the caucus will
be held at the appointed time, and that
thoie Is no question f his success. The
opposition are Just as confident that
there will be a postponement until af
ter the supreme court disposes of the
criminal chnrgeB against Quay growing
out of the failure of the People's bank.
of Philadelphia. If they can bring
about a postponement they believe
Quay cannot be re-elected.
Senator Quay spent a very busy day
yesterday directing his canvass from
the residence of ex-Senator J. Donald
Cameron, who came all the way from
England to help his former colleague,
Senator Boles Penrose, Congressman
Bingham and other members of the
Pennsylvania delegation In congress are
on the ground In Quay's Interests. A
street demonstration was held last
night by the Quay people.
Senators Martin. Magee and other
leaders presumably opposed to Quay's
re-election are expected to have a con
ference to determine on a Une of policy
relative to the senatorial caucus. If
they stay away from the meeting tht
Quay people are fearful they cannot
muster enough votes to make a nomi
nation. Ex-Postmaster General John
Wanamaker la leading the movement
