WASHINGTON, D. C, Jnn. C
Complotoiy exonerating Secretary of

In tho report Wickorshum do
clarcd that tho insinuation and
charge of improper action on tho
action of Bnllinger and otlur offi
cinls nre, in his opinion, entirely dis
proved.
Ho takes occasion to score Glaus
severely nnd declares that the
chnrges nguinst Ballinger wcro filed
ns tho result of Glavis' "exnirgorated
idea of his own imDortnncc," which
tho attorney general clinracterizml
ns "Megalomanin." Wickcrehnm also
scored Glavis for not pressing tho
investigation of tho Cunningham
claims on coal lnnd in Alaska when
nil tho ussistnuco ho asked from tho
Intorior Department "hnd been
forthcoming nnd nil tho data in tho
envo woro in his hands."
Glavis, ho stated, continunlly pro-
crastinated nnd put off tho comolo
tion of tho investigation on tho con
tinual ground thnt should tho caso
bo taken immediately to trinl ho
would bo compelled to prosccuto it
without adequato evidence.

DR. JOSE MADRIZ, WHO SUCCEEDS
TO PRESIDENCY OE; NICARAGUA.
It Is not believed at Washington that the election of Dr. Jose Madriz to
succeed Jose Santos Zelnyn as president of Nlcanigua. which was nccom
'pllsbed after n stormy session of the Nlcnragunn conjjrcsSj will relieve tho
'situation In the little republic. Although censoreil cable dispatches announced
thnt Mndrlz lnlnrtp! to tnnkp n clean swpaj t nil Zlnya' honrhmen who
nro connected with the government, It 13 not bellcTed at the state deportment
that he will do anything of the kind. He has nhvaya been an adherent of Zt
lnyn, nnd the insurgents have little confidence in blra. All ImpaVtlnl advices
from Ccutntl America indicate that the election of Mndriz is only a part of
a coup trumped up by Zclayn to bring about delay and arouso an anti-American
feeling among the people.
