CHAMBERS MAY
 SUCCEED BRUCE A Well Defined RumOF Reaches hOntSom-
 cry From Washington. BRUCE S0lN TO BE RETIRED M'Kinley Appreciates Chambers S:lYlC3S
 During the Samoan Crisis. REPUBLICATION OF THE REPORTS Many Lawyers Interested in the New Edition Of the Supreme Court Rul-
 ings-Sale of Public Lands
 Crenshaw's Action.
 
REPUBLICATION OF THE REPORTS

Ase-Herald Bureau, Hotel Mobson, Montgomery, September 13.-(special.-It is learned here today on very good authori- ty that Hon. William l.. Chambers, who fas just resigned as chief justice of the Samoan Island, is to receive the appoint ment as judge of the Alabama federal court succeeding Judge Bruce. Judge Bruce is in very bad health, and is at pre- sent absent from the state being treated for very serious afniction. The rumor is to the effect that at ,he expiration of Judge Bruces age limit, which is within the next few months, he is to be retired on life pension.
 It was given out from Washington just a1ter Judge Chambers saw the president last Thursday, that the Samoan judge would tender his resignation to the pres ident, and out of consideration of his splendid service 10. this country during the trying Samoan troubles, he was to re- ceive rich federal position to last a life time. Now comes tine rumor that it is the Alabama position which Judge Chambers is to receive
 This suggestion is evidently not in line with what the Alabama republicans have been looking for. They have anticipated Judge Bruce's retirement but not the ap- pointment of Judge Chambers. It Is stated here that Hon. Wm. Vaughn state chair man of the republican executive commit tee, and M. B. Wichersham. of Mobile, would clash in the fight for the judicial honor. Chairman Vaughan left Alaba ma for the east last Saturday, and it is learn- ed tht he was to be in New York today to greet Senator Mark Hanna upon the sen- ators return from his European trip.
 Chairman Vaughan probably has more than one reason to confer with the national boss. First the judicial appointment; sec ond to wrest the state machine from the hands of Colonel Youngblood, and third, to accompany Senator Hanna to Ohio, and assist in the fight to keep that state in the republican column. All three of these req sons are advanced by local republicans as the cause of the eastern trip.
 In the meantime Colonel Youngblood s not allowing earth under his feet to be covered with a green coat. The Alabama boss left Alabama for Was shington Monday morning. His departure was sudden, and probably the result of the conference of his clans in Birmingham last Saturday. Some local republicans, enVious of Colonel Youngblood's power, would have it appear that he has rushed away to the national capital to keep out of their path and thus be saved the necessity of explaining why he has not been able to secure certain ap- pointments for the Alabamians. Colonel Youngblood's friends say that this idea is absurd and that he is in no way worried by the attacks of his enemies. The republi- can situation grows more interesting in Alabama every day.
