All areamused at tho report that ex-Supervising Architect Potter is to be Indlcted, Mullett, on the contrary, does not conceal bis opluion, In an Informal talk ho cxpressed the following viewa: Ilo thought the reports that toany per- suns wero to bo (ndicted were erroncous; they grew out of the fact, he thougt, that tho Grand Jury had asked for o lst of all perasous who lad liad anytbing to do with the contractor or the, construction, The list, ho sald, would not be.likely “to extend beyond eight persons tbercln. Mullett waa of oplnion that thera would bo Mucller, the contractor; Mills, his ogent; Hill, Bupervising Architect; Jacobs, his chiet clerks and the following employes of bis office: Thompsun, G. Annon, Church, and onc ortwo others. Mullctt believed it would he Impossible to convict Mueller or Milis,and called attention to the fact that Mucller has ALREADY COMMENCED A BUIT sgalpst the Government Lers for over $400,000 growing out of thes tracts, 'ho chargo agalust the cimnployes of tno Architect's ofllce, nio thought, would be that the rallugs had been made fu favorof Muel- ler with tiie expectation that something would be pald; but, sald Mullett, *1 don’t betleve Muller pald one cent.” Referrinztotho reports that Multet uppeared bolore tho Urand Jury to testily in favor of Mueller, Muliett sald {npolnt ol fact his testimony, st least tudirectly; was AGAINST MUELLEIR, Mullett sald he testitied that the sccounts of Mucller, which he had rejected while Buperyis- iniz Architeet, bad been ” reopened afterwands, aod declded in Mueller's favor, notwithstanding the latter had ucquicsced ln the rejoction of the some clabas, Iu thls respect Mullett sald Lis testinony was agalust Mucller. Speak- foie of the report that & blank was jefe o tho nulctment for his own pame, and that the uiatute of linitations had alone saved him, Mullett said that was nonscosc. [n support of his assertion ha nentioned a conversation he hnd with Judge Bangs snd Assistant District- Attornoy Thumson whbile before the Uraad Jury. After having answered alijthe inquiries, Mallett, watited to o before the jury and TELL HIS OWN STORY #f lnquiry was to bo made juto matters leadin; up to hun.

WasnivatoN, D.* C, 'Nov. 18.—Secrctary Thompson {s not satisfled as to the truthfal- ness of the story of William Buder, who claims to be a survivor of thio Huron dlsaster (on the North Carvlina coast). A - searching investiga- tion was made at the Navy Department to-day, and, while'no definitg conclusion was reached,it ‘was evident that the ofiiclals who took part in the tunquiry are far from belng satisfied that the story told by Buder §s true. At the time Buder eulisted at Philadoiphia he sald that he did not sign hisname to the enlistmont papers, but made his mark, as be could not write. These papers were found (o the filas of the Department, and the name fs written obt {n. full, and s identical with the sigonture which bad previously been made to an spplicajun for enlistment.
