WELCOMES INVESTIGATION.
Senator Mitchell's Statement Concern
ing His Recent Indictment

Senator John H. Mitchell of Oregon who
was indicted by the United States grand
jury at Portland Wednesday for bribery in
connection with the land frauds investiga-
ton, has made a statement in which he
says he welcomes the most searching inves-
LEGATION of the charges against him, and
asserts that only "misconstrued innocent
acts and "unwarranted inferences' can
connect him with the land frauds.
Senator Mitchell in his statement says:

est fear, but in the meantime l assert in
the most positive manner l never in my life

Nicaraguan Volcano in Eruption.

Awakening from a sleep of fifteen years
the great volcano Momotombo, on the
northwest shore of Lake Managua, in Mica
ragua. suddenly burst forth into tremen-
dous fury on January 10. The first news of
the disaster came to San Francisco yester-
Gay by the steamer City of Sydney, which
in the port of Corinto, Nicaragua, at
the time. From the decks the volcano and
its appalling display of pent-up fire and
smoke were plainly visible. 1t Is believed
that great destruction of property and the
loss of many lives among the natives
around the base of the volcano have taken
place. Momotombo is thirty miles inland
from Corinto, and its conieal peak is 1000
feet high, somewhat resembling Fuji-Yama
of Japan, but it is not snowcapped For the
last year smoke has been issuing from the
peak. but the planters, reluctant to abandon
their rich ranches, remained near. The
poems lived in little pueblos that nestled
about the base of the mountain. Heavy
earthquakes preceded the eruption, like gi-
gantic powder explosions. Then Momo-
tombo awakened and all the country stood
amazed. The officers and passengerssof the
City of Sydney say the day was clear and
that there was no wind blowing, when a
long tongue of flame shot out of Mono
tombos apex. Within It, but mounting
straight up to the zenith, arose a cloud of
jet black smoke, which soon covered the
sky. At its center was the great pillar of
fire

AUTOS ON FERRY BOATS.
The Subject Considered by Committees
of Both Houses

The Automobile Club of America was rep
resented before the House committee on
merchant marine and fisheries yesterday by
w. W. Niles of New York. in advocacy of
an amendment to the steamboat inspection
laws so as to permit automobiles to go
aboard and leave ferry boats under their
own power. The present regulation makes
1t necessary to eXtinguish the fire in the
machine, push it aboard and get it off the
boat in the same manner.
Herbert Smith, representing the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor, said the Sec
rotary of that department, while neither
favoring nor Directing to the proposition,
wished it amended, if action was to be
taken, so as to make the driver of the ma
chine punishable for failure to comply with
the regulation.
1T is safe to consider" causticaly re-
marked Chairman Grosvenor of the commit
tee that automobile owners or drivers do
not consider that they are under any law,
human or divine" No action was taken on
the bill by the committee.
The Senate committee OH commerce yes
terday reported favorably bill authorizing
gasoline automobiles to move on and off
ferry boats.

some good work in relieving distressed yes
sells in the bay during the blizzard last

The sloop Virginia l.. Johnson of Cam
bridge was also found in the same locality

ice Her wants were supplied, and she, too,
was taken to place OF safety.
The schooner A. ii. Schulz of Baltimore
was found stranded on Chlore Point near
the Choptank. in water foot or two less
than the vessel drew.
She was surrounded by ice and was in
danger of being cut through. The Window
after several hours hard work succeeded In
floating the Schulz and breaking the ice

providing for an extension of the Old Do
mnion railroad.
: The letter sets out how much East Wash
ington will be benefited by the construc,
ton of the so-caled cross-town line and
pays a complimentary reference to the
Chesapeake Beach railroad in establishing
practically direct intercourse with the
county seat of Prince George county. East
Washington. it is stated in the letter, has
a population Of 5000, or about one-fourt3
the entire population of the city, and has
not Il single cross-town street car line,
while there are seven such lines IN the
western section.
The reading of the report and letter was
followed by a general discussion of the pro-
posed route of the Old Dominion line. Mr..
Girouard said he was opposed TO double
track road on any narrow street. He re-
ferred to the proposed change from NJ street
in the northwest section, and said the
change resulted from the influence of people
whose children attend Miss Summers
school and the representatives of foreign
countries whose homes are on that street.
Favors Capital Traction.
Mr.. Weller opposed the plan to favor the
Old Dominion Company, and said he
thought the Capital Traction Company
would give a better service. He doubted If
the Old Dominion Company would construct
tracks beyond the union station
1t pointed out by Secretary SperTy
that the association had favored the Old
Dominion proposition at time when there
was nothing else offered. He thought be
fore any change should be made the whole
question should be investigated by the
committee. Mr. Johnson, Mr.. Clark and
others also spoke upon the question. ar.
Clark said he would oppose any bill which
favored the construction of double-trach
line on 10th street.
The association adopted a resolution ia
Vorng the passage of the bill which pro-
vides for the establishment OF the juvenile.

DELAY IN MATERIAL.
Armor Furnished to Private Yard
Quicker Than to Government.

Acting Secretary Darling of the navy has
transmitted to the House reports from the
various bureaus of the department relative
to the delivery of material to the battle ship

York navy yard, In competition with the
Louisiana, being built in private yard.
The information is in response to a resolu-

The reply from the bureau of ordnance re-
fers to letter complaining of the delivery
of ar1llor for the Connecticut from the naval
constructor at New York, September !, 1904.
The complaint states: 1T is evident that
