WA6HINUTON. Nov. !0.-(8pec!al Tele gram.) A simultaneous change of base Wss mad todf y by those dtrectiy Interested In Senator Dietrich s indictment.' Senator Dietrich lert Washington this morning for Nebraska to appear In person and to seek an immediate trial of the case In which hs is alleged to hive received a valuable con sideration for naming the postmaster at Hasting. Twelve hours after Benator Diet rich left tha city W. 8. Summers, district attorney foi Nebraska, inscribed his name upon the register of the New Wlllard. When Senator Dietrich announced early in thO week, after the grand Jury had re turned a true bill, thut he would go home Immediately he had no thought of Mft Sum mers coming to Washington. Ite'presumed hs would be able tn meet Mr. Summers, through his attorney, and in conjunction with Judge Munger the case might be ad vanced on the docket for trial. Mr. Sum mers, however, wss called to Washington by the attornsy general for a conference with that official. It Is expected Attorney General Knox wants to know the grounds upon which Mr. Summers expects to con vict Senator Dietrich of the charges in cludexl In the grand Jury findings. It 1s evident Mr. Summers was not able to make himself thoroughly understood by the long distance telephone, which has been going at a rapid .rate between Omaha and Wash ington since the indictment was found by the grand Jury, and In consequence of cer tain doubts existing In the mind of the at torney general' Mr. Summers was called to Washington at a moment's notice. . Summers Will Xat Talk. When seen by a Bee correspondent Mr. Summers stated the only thing he had to aay and which he desired sent to Nebraska was that he had nothing to say. lis re fused absolutely to talk about the matter which brought him to Washington. When arked when he would have a conference with tho attorney general the district at torney said the matter was, wholly in the attorney general's hands, , that he cou'd not say whether It would bo this evenlilg or tomorrow, and refused point blank to dis cuss the recent happenings in Nebraska, which havs been the subject of universal speculation this week tn Washington, even the birth of the new republic being given but passing consideration alongside the In dictment of a tenator of the United States for the alleged sale of postofflces. Senator Millard, who for tho past week haa been confined to his bed tn the New M illard with an attack- of grippe, saw a Bee correspondent this evening. .The sen ator stated he was greatly disturbed over the fact he could mft see Senator Dietrich before the latter loft for home;, that hs wanted to tell the senator, ot his belief In his Innocence, but the doctor had per emptorily ordered him to bed. Senator Millard raid he was very much Improved and hoped to be about next week. Speaking of the presence of Mr. Summers tn the city the senator said the district at torney was undoubtedly here for the pur pose of going over with the attorney gen eral the evidence submitted to the grand Jury upon whlqh an Indictment of Senator Dietrich resulted.. He said he, had not seen Mr. Summer and was sorry he could, not present him fo the president. ' "My friends who havs looked to me to do a number of thing for them." said Nebraska's junior senator, "will understand ithe .situation when they know 'I have been confined to my bed almost since my arrival In Wash ington. No one regret the conditions more than I do, but I am In the doctor's charge and propose to follow his Instructions to the letter." . Developments Expected. Now that Mr. Bummers lsher Interest ing development are looked for' In conse quence of the much tangled condition of the Dietrich case. Whether a padlock will be placed ujKn Mr, Summer la not known, but the fact remains that Senate. Die trich's personal explanation as to how the lease on the Hasting postoffice came to be made haa influenced the president not a little, and it may have had a like effect upon Attorney General Knox. One thing Mr. Summers Nwould say tonight, however, and that, was ' he wanted to get back to Omaha as quickly as possible. It la there, fore thought Attorney -General Knox will have a conference with Mr. Summers to morrow, either at the former's house or In the room In the Department. of Justice. . HeCtmb.r Defends Grlgsby. Senator McCumber of North Dakota saw the president todsy In behalf of Mfelvln Orlgsby, United States attorney; for ths Second district Of Alaska. ' The charges have long been pending In the Department of Juutlce against Colonel GrtgHby. He Is charged with disobedience of Instructions of ths department' In leaving Nome laat winter and of being deeply Involved with certain Interests, at Nome. He Is from South Dakota and the senators of 'that atate are doing all thsy can to. have him held In office. Senator McCumber Is taking an interest In the caae because he says Colonel Orlgsby "has been doing his duty at Cape Nome, and every man who goes there and tries to do his duty Is run out If certain ' Interests can accomplish thslr purpose." Senator McCumber' says he has been to Alaska and studied the situation at Cape Nome and elaewhere, and Is satis- fled that every United States attorney who Is sent there will have charges preferred against htm.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo., Nov. 21 Charles McCormack, superintendent, and Melville Reck, a miner, were killed shortly before noon today by ah explosion in the Vindicator mine. Officers of the Vindicator Mining company assert that the explosion was rsused by an Infernal machine and 500 militiamen have been placed on guard around the company's properties. Superintendent McCormack and Miner Beck were descending Into the mine In the cage. They were the only passengers. When they reached the sixth level the explosion occurred, wrecking the cage and shaft and InRtantly killing both men. The explosion, which was terrific, was heard at the surface mid at first was believed to b an earthquake. The engineer hastily reversed the hoist, but could not pull up tha cage, and the bodies were recovered only sfter several hours' work, being brought to the surface through the second oompartment of the shaft. After a thorough examination of the shaft It Is positively asserted by officers of the mining company that the explosion was rausrd by an Infernal machine. They assert that the Infernal machine, containing many pounds of dynamite, had been placed in ths tlkth level, which Is part of the aban doned workings of the mine, within a few Inches of the shaft. Then a loaded revolver was fixed tn the shaft with Its mussle pointing directly toward the Infernal ma chine. STo the trigger, Of the revolver was attached a string which was thrown across tho shaft In such a manner that the re volver Would explode, the bullet striking the Infernal machine, rieees of this re volver have tsen recovered from the bottom of the shaft, but not a vestige of the in fernal machine can be found. Major Naylor and a detail of fifty soldiers wsre dispatched from Camp Goldfleld to the mine and took charge of the property. No one was allowed to approach ths mine and no one Is permitted to leave. Shafts on other properties known to be connected with the Vindicator workings are also be ing guarded. After receiving news of the explosion Oeovernor Peabody ordered the troops In Cripple Creek who were to, pro ceed to Tellurite tonight to , remain in Cripple Creek.

General Bates ta Investigate. WASHINGTON. Nov. 21. Major Oeneral Bates, commanding the Department of the Lakes, has been ordered by the War de- ( partment to proceed to Denver to Investi gate the labor troubles with a view to as certaining it tWe is a necessity for fed eral troops there. He does not relieve Gen- , eral Baldwin of his command of the De- j partment of the Colorado, but goes to Den ver on a special mission. General Bate, who also commanded the Department of the Missouri, with head quarter at Omaha, was-relieved of that command today by Oeneral Eumner. It IS stated at the War department that General - Bates Is not going to Denver to relieve Brigadier General Baldwin of I U command of th Department of th Colo rado. The purpose of his -visit la to look ovsr th field, ta advise Governor Peabody if h cars to have such advice, and finally to report to the department here, through It, to the president, as to the, actual need that may exist for the use of United States troops In connection with ths Colo rado strikes. . Owing to his experience In th Philippine General Bates Is considered an expert In the settlement of vexatious questions concerning civil and military controversies. Oeneral Bate, being a ma jor '-general, eoald himself direst, opera tions within the Department ot the Colorado, he having superior rank to Brig adier General Baldwin, but it is stated positively that lie nas, no instructions to this effect and the department officials are quite sure that he will not assume such powOr without first applying to the depart ment for Its sanction. It is believed that If he sees occasion to. change in any re spect the policy General Baldwin Is pursu ins a hint to that officer from Major Gen eral Bates would be sufficient to cause a change. .
