Philadelphia people are talking
much about the possibility of Jesse T..
B. Cunningham being made the next
attorney general, although DIR. Brum-
baugh has given no sign. In the Phil
adelphia Ledger to-day this report,
which has frequently been commented
upon in the Telegraph, is played up.
1t is also pointed out that there is
also a possibility of Attorney General
John c. Bell being retained in which
event Mr.. Cunningham would remain
as, first deputy and the rest of the
force be undisturbed.
DR.. Brumbaugh left last night
for Pittsburgh without making any
announcements. He said during the
evening that he came here as an edu-
Gator and he did not go to Capitol Hill
or the Executive Mansion. After the
doctor had greeted the school teachers
he went to the Comm onwealth Hotel
where he met a committee represent
ing agricultural interests and discus
sed legislation of that kind. During
the evening many people called upon
him. To-day he is in conference with
Allegheny county Republican leaders.
While much is being printed about
possible opposition to the confirma-
ton of the appointment of Walter II.
Gather as public service commission
er, his friends on Capitol Hnl believe
that he will be approved in the Senate.
The course will be to refer all of the
tration to special committee for ac-
ton. The appointments Of the whole
commission will be considered at that
time.
Twelve thousand children were
entertained by the Ware brothers in
Philadelphia last evening. it being the

lican State chairman, said in Pitts
burgh that he expected the legislature
to adjourn on the afternoon of Janu-
airy until January Is and that in
the meantime the committees would
be made up. The senator expects to
come here the latter part of the week
