Washington, Jan. 12--Attorney Cen
eral Bonaparte tonight issued state
ment replying to that part of the
speech of Senator Tillman delivered
yesterday in which he declared that the
resolution in regard to the Oregon
land grants, introduced by him in the
Senate on Jan. 81, 1908. had been pre-
pared by the attorney general and that
his ''interest in the matter had been
first aroused by desire to purchase
some Of the timber land
Mr.. Bonaparte also replies to Scna-
tor Tillmans remarks made in the
Senate last February that he had noe
bought any land anywhere in the West
or undertaken to buy.
The full text of the attorney gcner-
ais statement is as follows:
Jan II, 1909.
"I'here are two passages in the re-
marks Of Senator Tillman, published
in today's Congressional Record, which
demand notice from me. He says:
ait might be we'll to inquire whether
or not the attorney general has been
ordered not to obey the law OF Con-
gress passed last April. which I will
call the "Tillman- Bonaparte law or
dering salt to be instituted for the re-
ccvery of these lands. My culpability Is
of such enormity and magnitude IN
the purchase of 144o
acres of land at $3.50 an acres in the
ewes of this stickler for official recti-
tude in others that it may be found
that he is determined to block my So
called 'nefarious transactions

gress that he, Theodore Roosevelt, as
sumod the right to permit the steel
Trust to absorb its greatest rival con-
trary to law, would doubtless not hest
tate to help his dear friend Hartman

domain simply because Ben Tillman

Paris, Jan. 12.-Some embarrassment
has been manifested in official circles as
to the exact character of the approach
ing visits To French ports Of the Amer
lean battleshipS now in the Mediterran-
can The prevailing idea is that the
ships are not making officials calls, but
that they are merely coming to give the
officers and sailors opportunity for shore
leave The change in the original timer

Nevertheless Admiral De Jonquleres,
commanding the French Mediterranean
squadron. has been instructed to tender
such oIncial greetings to the Americans
as he thinks advisable.
M. Thomson, the minister of marine.
has informed The Associated Press that
the French government has been advised
officially of the arrival of the American
warships at French ports. but That IN

By Another Explosion In
Lick Branch CoNiery
Fifty Lives Were Lost There
Only Two Weeks Ago.
Mine Foreman and One Miner Are
Only Known Survivors.

Bluefield, w Va. Jan. 12-Another
terrific explosion took place today in
the mines of the Lick Branch Collicry,
and more than 100 lives were lost.
1t was in these same mines TWO weeks
ago that so miners were killed by q
similar explosion.
In the quiet of the early morning
there came like the sound of thunder

which reverberaled along the miles of
Corridors and air passages crowded
With those who work there, While from

Scarcely had the defamation died

some of their loved ones who might

moment, rushed in the jaws of the
smoking mine and tried to rescue him.
but was driven back by the deadly
fumes of the after-gases ana was ccm-
PEELED to leave him to his fate.
A train was rushed from this city to
the scene of the disaster. some % miles
away carrying bratticing ana other
material TO be used in the work or ex-
ploration and rescue.
1t is supposed there were over 100
lnen in the section OF the mine af-
fcCted. The debris from the explosion of
TIVE weeks ago had not been cleared
away and % men were engaged In this
work. Nineteen contract miners, with
their crews, We're at work Ill a nrw ON
try. and it is feared that all of these
men were Lost.
The explosion was in q different part
Of the mine from that OF two weeks

had been inspected by government Of
fcialS and by the most experienced
mine men in the region and all, it is
said, expressed the opinion that it was
safe.
None Oh tlltA bbIltS HIS UGtn recovered,
but it is expected that Il portion of the
mine in which the men We're ut work will
he reached before morning. One rescue
party came in sight of six bodies today
but was forced back. A late estimate of
the number of men entombe@s is more
than 100. That all of them are dead there
can be no doubt. The force of the ex-
plosion, the fire in the mine and the dead
ly gases preclude any chance that any Of
the men are alive. The main entrance Of
the mine is five miles long, running from
one side of the mountain to the other.
Debris also was blown from both en-
tries. which gives some idea of the force
of the explosion. The fans We're not dis
abled and are forcing fresh air into the
mines.

Nicholson are at the mine and are di-
recting the work of rescue. Crews have
