SENATOR ON TIE STAND
Fir. Mitchell of Oregon in the Land
 Fraud Investigation.

Fortland, Ore, Dec. 28.-Bent with his more than three-score years and ten, and leaning upon the arm of his law partner, the white-haired senior senator from Oregon, John H. Mitchell, who for nearly a quarter of a century has represented his state in the federal congress, today went into the govern ments inqnsitorial chamber to tell what he knew concerning the frauds which the government he has served so long believes has been prepetrated upon it in the acquisition of its public lands.
 Tired and careworn, he came to the court room at the noon hour only to return in the afternoon. Later, when the senator left thel court house, ap- parently nervous and worried, it was stated that the investigation, so far as MT. Mitchell was concerned, had ended. What transpired in that chamber is unknown further than that MT. Nit chell went into it with no more favor than would have been extended to the humblest citizen of his country. Neither his request that he be con- fronted with any testimony that the government may have nor that he be furnished with the names of his all legged accusers was granted
 congressman Singer Hermann ap- peared shortly after o'clock in the afternoon and went into seclusion in the office of the district attorney. When called to the jury room he shook hands with those whom he knew and patted Mir. Heney heartily on the back. When the session had closed for the day MT. Hermann remained in the jury room for some time eonversing with Mir. Heney and the jurors. The time of the jury will be taken up by MT. Hermann for the greater part of the forenoon tomorrow.
 Some of the men indicted on Tues day afternoon have appeared and will give the S4. 1000 bonds fixed by the court. s. B. OrTnsby of Salem was given five days in which to enter his plea and was allowed one day to secure bail. In the meantime he was released on his own recognizance.
 c. E. Loomis of Eugene gave his bond as required. Mayor w. H. Davis of Albany did not reach the city today, as was expected. He will probably arrive in Portland tomorrow, when he will give his bond.
 George Sorenson is reported to have returned to Portland today but has not as yet made his appearance.

 New York, Dec. 2S.-StiH pounding on the bar off Oak Island. where she struck on Christmas morning. there is practically no change in the position of the steamer Drumelzier. Tonight word was sent to the Sandy Hook life saving station to get ready to start for the wreck at daylight. Captain T. Patterson will have charge of this crew of eight men, the headiest life savers along the coast. The longest life boat at the Hook was made ready at once and early in the morning will be taken in tow by a powerful tug to where the British ship lies stran led.
 The DrUmelzier lies about three quarters of Q mile off the end of Fire Island beach. She is almost in the channel leading from the ocean into Great South bay. All communica ton between Oak Island and the main land is cut off by ice, driven hithe, and thither by winds, and in some places piled in huge hummOcks. The position of the steamer is one of great peril
 She is lying bow on toward the shore

The Japanese Worrying Chiefly About Their Communications, Threatened by the Raids of RennenKe mpf'S Cos sacks.

.Huanshan, Dec. 2S.-Everything con tinues quiet along the front of the hostile armies. There is little expectaz ton of a decisive moment till spring, when-it will be possible for both sides to throw in strong endorsements and recommence the campaign in earnest In the meantime the chief Japanese uneasiness seems to be with regard to their communications eastward. They have an unusually full equipment of narrow gauge field railways one of which connects General Kuroki's base at Shahedzi with Feng Wang Cheng with a branch to Saimatsza.
 A supplementary line is being con structed, connecting Liao Yang with Haicheng- There is an important line of warehouses along the YaIu river and bridges have recently been constructed with care that is unusual in field op- erations. This elaborate system has been seriously threatened by General Rennenkampff's raids sOutheastward. There are many evidences that the Japanese are strengthening and fortify- ing their line of communications to- ward Korea, which necessarily will ab- sorb considerable force.

 At 9 o'clock tonight the wrecki1g steamer Merritt was anchored about a mile from the stranded steamer and the Merrltt's surf boat could be seen lying alongside the Drumelzier. Whether she had taken off any of the crew for whether she was standing by as a precaution in case the vessel went to pieces could not be determined from the shore.
 During the day the steamer hoisted no signals of distress. nor did she even use her whistle, although smoke and steam from her tunnels indicated that fires were still going.
