Washington. Nov. 22.---(spccial )~-'N looks as if more factfonal war ie on among Alabama Republicans. The ims mediate bones of contention are the marshalship and attorneyship of the Middle District of Alabama
 Charles Fl. Scott, the Montgomery referee. arrived here today accompanied by Erastus J. Parsons. candidate for the District Attorneyship. It is ex> pected that Collector of Internal Hev- enue Joseph O. Thompson of Birmin6- ham, anothes referee. win soon follow as we'll as Oscar Hundley of Hunts-3 vile. who Is always on hand in an ad- visory capacity for the northern pert of the State, whenever anything of pat- ronage consequence is in tho wind. 0fh- or Republicans here from Alabama are former Internal Revenue Collector T. H. Bingham. William YounbLood and ]. c. Miflar of Birmingham and United States Marshal D. N. Cooper of tho Northern District
 Bingham and Youngblood are pre- sumably looking after the interest of Warren s. Reese. incumbent In the Dis- trict Attorneys ofiice at Montgomery. although MT. Bingham says he Is not in politics any more.
 ylarshall Cooper on Hand.
 Marshal Cooper is here looking after his own fences. He has put in his ap- plication for reappointment notwirh- standing the announcement that Pope Long would be appointed to the place at the expiration Of cocpers term Pub- 1 lication of an Interview with Referee Thompson at Birmingham. in which he made the statement that Long hnd been i appointed and a subsequent report that he had said that Long would take charge of the office as soon as he made bond. brought Marshal Cooper to Wash- 1 ington. He has been here a week and .tT fA Mir. Mfllar Is here ostenElbiy looking after q patent recently issued to hifn for an. oven floor.
 The teferees are understood to be de- termined to work for their own choices for the Marshaiship and flas District Att tofneyship. asl they nsvef before strovs for appointments They will urge Joe Burton of Montgomery Tor the Afsf- sbalship and Parsons to be Attorney. Mir Parsons seems to be entirely con- fident of appointment. The sanguine looks of tine Parsons element has dis- turbed the Reese people, and they will very likely send for him to come on to Washington at once.
 Ii there is any intention with the authorities to place Long in office be- fore the expiration of Marshal Cooper'a term, January 18th next, they are mak- ing secret of 1t. There is no charge against the Marshal affecting his ten- ure. and if be Is removed 1t will be a new procedure. 4
