THE OTHER STAFF SELECTIONS
General Hastings viii, 1t Is Said. Not An
nounce Any Other Civil Appointments
Until After His InauguratiOn-An'
other Scranton Possibility.


Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. 4.-Governor-
elect Hastings will not announce any
more appointments until after his IN
auguration. He Is busy with the pre-
paration of his inaugural address ana
is giving very little attention just now
to anything else. He will go to Phila-
delphia tomorrow to attend a reception
to be given in his honor by the Union
league. The members of his cabinet
will also attend, together with Gov
ernor PaIttison and cabinet, and other
state officials.
This will be the first meeting be-
tween Governor-elect Hastings and the
members of his cabinet since the APP
pointments of his official family was
announced. They will have confer
ence after the reception to discuss the
selection of their subordlnates and ar
range for their induction into office.
Neither General Hastings nor his cabi-
net will be in a great hurry to fill the
places which they will soon have at
their disposal. The changes will be
made gradually in order not to impair
the efficiency of the departments under
their immediate control.
Major Warrcns Appointments.
Among the first appointments an
nounced by Governor-elect Hastings
after his inauguration will be his staff
There is a great demand for place on
the staff, many of the leading officers
of the National Guard preferring a po-
sition of this kind ito the rank which
they now hold 1t may be said with al
most a certainty that MajCr Everett
Warren, of Scranton, president of the
State League of Republican clubs, will
be appointed judge advocate general in
place of Colonel Dewitt Cuyler, Of
Philadelphia. Major Warren is well
qualified for this place by reason of his
long service on the staff of General
Goblin. commander of THE Third brig
ade, as judge advocate.
Colonel Morrell, of Philadelphia, COM
mander of the Third regiment, is reason
ably certain to be selected for inspector
general to succeed Colonel Chambers
McKibbin, of Pittsburg. This arrange
ment would place the adjutant gen.
eral-Colonel Thomas ]. Stewart, of
Norristown-and inspector general in
the eastern end of the state, the judge
advocate general in the northern and
would seem to indicate that the choice
for quartermasterng general would go to
Western Pennsylvania. In that event
this honor will likely be conferred upon
Major Albert ]. Logan, of Pittsburg,
quartermaster of the Second brigade.
Another Scranton Candidate.
Major Hazlet, of Washington, Is be-
ing strongly pressed for general inspec-
tor of rifle practice; Lieutenant Con-
neely, the senior inspector of rifle prac-
tice, is also being urged for this place.
He is probably better qualified from
experience and knowledge of rifle prac-
tice than any other person that may be
an applicant, and there seems to be no
doubt of his selection. Robert M.
Scranton, son of Congressman Scran-
ton, editor of the Scranton Republican,
and Walter A. Wood, of Honesdale, are
applicants for aides.
