states steel Corporation came to this
city and formally announced that the
attorney general was a candidate for
the place and that he came here in
Mr.. Knoxs interests. This caused con-
siderable agitation in the Pittsburs
delegation, which had already named
four men for the vacancy. At first II
was expected that Mr.. Knox would be
opposed, but after a series of confer
ences the Pittsburg delegation accepted
Mr.. Knox. and the public announce
ment of their action soon followed.
Whether the selection of Attorney
General Knox as Quay's successor will
cause complications to arise within the
party in this state is difficult to say. It
is known that the agreement on Knox
is not satisfactory to all interests with
in the organization
Attorney General Knox. who has a
farm at historic Valley Forge, was in
the city for a short time. and then
went to the farm of a. j. Cassatt, pres
ident of the Pennsylvania Rail
road company. where the Farm
ers' Club. a dining organization Of
wealthy men. gave a dinner. Among
others present were Senator Penrose,
Mr. Frick, Governor Pennypacker,
former United States Senator Don
Cameron and Richard r. Quay, son Of
the late senator.

Washington, June l0.-Just before
Attorney General Knox left Washing
ton few days ago he called on the
president and told him that he had
been rendered the appointment of
United States senator TO succeed Mr..
Quay, and that If the president was
willing he would accept. The president
told him that while it was true that
probably no other man in the country
could quite I'll the position Of attorney
general as he had filed it, yet he be-
lieved that his services IN the senate
would be exceptionally valuable not
only 10 the state of Pennsylvania but
10 the whole country. The president
said that during the next session or
two Of congress it was a fair assump-
tion that there would be considerable
constructive legislation on the subject
of trusts and combinations of one char
acter or another and in that matter
Mr. Knox would be Of greater service
than perhaps no other man could be.
The president Is greatly pleased that
Mr.. Knox Will accept the position.
