the captain Of the Grosser Kurfurst,
states that the fire on the Volturno orig
mated from a spontaneous explosion in
the forward hold OF the vessel Before
this could be controlled it had spread to
other holds and the ship was doomed.
A number of sailors and steerage pas
sengers are reported to have been killed
in the first explosion.
The dispatch says. In part
Two lifeboats which left the Volturno
are Missing, and although the Carmania
and la Touraine are searching for them,
there is small chance of their being re-
covered. 1t is impossible at this time
for one vessel to give the exact number
of those missing, but II will not exceed
1885, and may be as low as 100.
''Eighty-six passengers, two ships Of
fcers, one engineer, and sixteen sailors
are on board this vessel.
''All of the lifeboats which left the Vol
turno before daylight were either crushed
against the hull or overturned and only

PASSENGERS IN PANIC.

Two District National Guardsmen
Brighten Occupants of Car.
A panic on a street car of the Wash
ington Electric Company, bound for An
scostia. was narrowly averted yesterday
by George Anderson, conductor of the
car. when John p. Mccormick and Burns
Mccormick, said to be members of the
District National Guard, on their way to
target practice at the target range near
Anacostia, became involved in a quarrel,
the latter drawing a revolver, according
to the police.
Anderson attempted to put the man OF
the car and both of the men turned on
him, the police say. Burns Mccormick
Ii is alleged, flashed his revolver in the
face of Anderson, who stopped the car
and called a policeman. The policeman
escorted the two men to the police sta
ton. John Mccormick was charged with
disorderly conduct and Burns Mccormick
with attempted assault with dangerous
weapon.

ing Mexican shores and has announced
he will be a candidate for President.
With the support OF Huerta, who con-
trolls the government and political ma
chinery OF practically every State except
those in the north. which have seeded.
Gamboa's election is assured.
Move to Electoral Power.
The privately expressed opinion OF 4
prominent Mexican politician was that
Huerta seized upon this opportunity to
dissolve the Chamber as tine only means
of throwing the majority Of the political
power into his own hands. thus enabling
him to elect Gamboa by an overwhelming
majority.
Huerta believes such an election would
indicate that the larger portion of the re-
public had been pacified, and allowed to
freely express itself at the polls. As
there will not be SUFFICIENT time to hold
elections to elect new deputis before Oc-
tober Is, there will be no Chamber Of
Deputies to investigate the election or to
interfere with any plans the adminlstra-
ton might have. The families and friends
of the imprisoned deputies are gravely
concerned over what disposition might be
made of the prisoners. But Huerta has
assured all that no harm will come to
them. The penitentiary is surrounded by
a heavy military guard.
City Is Quiet.
The city is quiet tonight. more so than
II has been for many months. Hundreds
of police and soldiers, both infantry and
cavalry. are patrolling the streets pre-
pared to put down any uprising which
might occur. The rapid-fire guns which
were placed in the palace last February,
and lattr withdrawn. were returned to-
day. On every hand there is evidence
that the government is prepared to resist
any insurgent movement.
All of the newspapers issued in the
city today either remained strictly i'm
partial in their discussion Of the event
or were strongly sympathetic with the
Huerta policy. Minister of Foreign At
fairs Moheno. who was the leader Of
the government deputies until Huerta
offered him a place in the Cabinet. said
tonight that Huerta took his action
against these deputies when il was
learned that there was a plot afoot in
the chamber to put Huerta out Of the
way and allow the revolution in the
north to triumph.
Early today great throng surged
about the chamber. from which the
deputies had been unceremoniously taken
last night, but after looking at the
windows for a time the crowd gradually
melted away. There was no demonstra-
ton owing TO the presence Of a large
guard of troops

TO BEGIN Term
Highest Tribunal Meets To-

on President.
MANY CASES PENDING
Docket Includes Over 1000 Proceed

Adjudication.
MANY CASES PENDING

The justices of the Supreme Court of
the United States are ready to begin
again their annual consideration of the
legal troubles of the country
Refreshed by a long vacation at home
and abroad, the justices are back in
Washington and tomorrow will assemble
for the first session of the fall term
Of the court This session is generally
mere formality. the court adjourning
Immediately TO pay their formal call on
the President at the White House. The
court, out OF courtesy to the Chief
Executive. will go in body to the White
House TO greet the President and be
greeted in return. This event is an an
nual affair which always takes place
when the President is in the city. Last
the Justices deferred the call until later
in the autumn. This call. OF course. will
be the courts tirst on President Wilson
Greets New President.
The call will be rather unique because
of the fact that none of the members Of
the court owe their appointment on the
bench to the present Chief Executive.
Several of the justices are young men
and the older members are men of ro-
bust health, apparently, who will spend
possibly many more years OF ACTIVITY on
the bench. Mr.. Justice Holmes in point
of age is the senior member of the
tribunal He has reached the age Of re-
tirement- but last year when it was sug
gested that he might give up his judicial
duties, vigorously denied that he had
any such intention. He, therefore, will
continue as a member OF the highest
court in the land as long as he chooses
10 perform his judicial duties.
On Tuesday the court will begin the
hearing of arguments on cases specially
set for trial The general docket Of the
court continues to be heavy, being in the
neighborhood Of 1,O0O cases. The cases to
be- argued Immediately include the
rate case, involving the valid
ity of rates prescribed by the railway
commission of Louisiana; the Lexington
CNebr.) milling case, in which the legality
of bleaching flour by the so-called Alsop
process is at stake; the case Of the East
ern Lumber Dealers Association, an
antitrust proceeding against a number
of dealings in which a violation OF the
Sherman law is alleged by the govern
ment, it being contended that certain
lumber dealers secretly conspired by
means OF a secret channel of information
to maintain a monopoly in lumber; and
