TO 'PUSH ISTHMIAN CANAL State Department Have Decided Not to Await Iavestlgatloa at the Title. WASHINGTON, July The State de partment has decided ' to press forward toward completion the - Colombia treaty looking to the acquisition- of right-of-way of the isthmian canal. This Is a slight change In the original plan, which contem plated the complete ' adjustment of the question- of title before concluding the treaty. Secretary Hay, who already has acoomplished the best portion of the work to be done In treaty making and has It be fore him tn the chape of a protocol sub mitted to the last session of congress, has taken steps to give this the - form of a treaty and to have It signed formally by accredited representatives of the govern ment of Colombia and of the Untted'States, to that the convention may be laid before (the senate aa soon as It convenes in De cember. By adopting this course the State department will ' remove. It Is expected, ny chance of having the agreement already Reached with Colombia disturbed by any thing that may occur as ' " result of -political Changes, for It la-shoi purpose, to hold 'that such agreements, oars , duly entered upon, ire not subject "tov'jepudlatlon, even tn the event of a change Jf government". The protocol referred to waa so definitely drawn, that not any changes are required In order to adapt the Instrument for uee aa a treaty. No dlOoulty la expected to result tn se curing, an abatement of the old provision in the ! canal franchise requiring the use of French material only a the construction Of the canal, and the " State department already1 has received an assurance from the iFrench government which It regards aa kneetlng the objection that has been made on that score.

I10T ON TRAIL OF TRACY Oregon Oenviot Being Punned Ij Overt Thousand Armsd Idea, DESPERADO DISPLAYS WONDERFUL NERVE While Posse is Taking; tp Poult Ion to Captaro Him the Coavlet Ties His to a, Tree aad Makes Hie Beeape. SEATTLE, July I. Hsrry Tracy, the fu gitive Oregon convict, who has killed six men and wounded seversl others since June 9, Is being hotly pursued by men and dogs in the country ioutheast -of Seattle and will probably bs slain or eaptured within a few hours. His pursuers; who have with them two fine bloodnhounds, are only a short distance behind him. . Tracy made another extraordinary es cape from one of the posses after him this afternoon. Word was received at the sheriff's office that Tracy had been at the house of a Mrs. Gerald near Ren ton for five hours. Fifty armed men at once hastened to the scene. When they reached the place they secreted and took positions so they could watch the house to the best advantage. The peculiar actions of Mrs. Gerald con vinced tbem that Tracy was still In the house. On the arrival of Sheriff Cudihce the posse closed in on the house, only to learn from Mrs. Gerald that Tracy had given them the slip. He had left the house by a rear door ten minutes pre vious while the posse were taking their positions to watch the place, hid for a few minutes in some of the bushes and then quietly slipped away through the woods toward Palmer. , The wonderful nerve of the convict was never more fully exemplified than la this Instance. In the back yard of the jOerald home was found Anderson, the man whom Tracy had kept a prisoner from" the time he left Port Madleon tied to a tree. 'Tracy had tied Anderson to the tree while the posse were In full view of the house, be fore making his escape. The bloodhounds were let loose on his trail, and are reported to be only a few minutes behind him. Fully a thousand armed men are now engaged in the pursuit, including a posse which has taken the train for Palmer to intercept Tracy In bis flight toward Cedar mountain. Anderson Telia Story. " Surrounded by a morbid mob of men tn the Benton saloon John Anderson related hla experiences since the night be left Port Madison in Johnson's white boat until bis rescue at the Gerald house at 6 o'clock tonight. From his atory it is evident that Tracy has accomplices who are'-lending him material aealstence in his flight thrdugh the country. Anderson said: "We left Port Madlsou Saturday night at 9 o'clock. We went to West Seattle, arriving at daylight. I pulled the boat, ho holding a gun over me all the way. We landed south of the West Seattle ele vator, under a trestle, end went directly into the woods. We spent Sunday la ths woods at West Seattle. When It got dark we came across the bay In our boat and landed at the sawmill at South Seattle. We then started on the railroad track toward Black, river; we turned oft the track to the left ahortly before we reached Black river. We crossed a large hayfletd and went Into the woods. This was Monday morning. When we got Into the timber we cooked breakfast. We then rested until afternoon. At I o'clock wo started through the ..tim ber toward Renton. Just before ; 'we reacbud ths railroad bridge' Over Black river we met four men, and. Tracy eaid. 'Hello, Fred,' and Jumped down the bank to where the men were standing. Tracy talked to the men for a few minutes. After the talk was finished Tracy left one. of the men to watch me. He and the three others, after blind folding me, went oft and stayed about an heur- - When they re turned they brought me a-bottle, of whisky. "Then we started out. Tracy toroed toe to walk In front, and. he followed behind. accompanied by the four men we met on the bridge. We arrived at Renton about 11 o'clock and walked up the railroad track through the town. . .Here . Tracy tied me up, and he,- accompanied by the four strange men, left me. They returned at daylight this (Tuesday) , morning and we went fur ther back Into the brush and cooked break fast. After breakfast- Tracy told me' he would go away for a while, bat would come back In an hour. When be returned he brought a little boy from Gerald's bouse and we walked down to the Gerald place together. We were In the house about three houra ' when Tracy took ' me out Into 'the brush. At the river bank he said: t down.' After looking up and down vthe river, Traoy tied me up and cautioned me to keep still, fl lay In this position until called to by Mrs. Gerald when" I hobbled out of the brush Into her back yard where thla gentleman (Indicating a Post-Iptelll gencor . representative) . untied the. .'leather WILL WIN s IN TIME (Continued from First Page.) yield to piecework. We stand first and lasi1 for Its total abolition." A' Prssldent O'Connell Is not : afraid. , that the' Machinists union will succumb by prolonged Idleness of Its members. He said: v " 'Wt are not feeling the strike thus far and ws can go on for a long tlms without feeling It. We are not a radical, set of workmen, but on the contrary are notably conservative. We go Into a strike reluct antly, but ' when we are forced 'Into one we stay until we have won. Records of past strikes bears out this statement. On the Southern railway the machinists were oil a strike for thirteen months and fthally won. We staid out fourteen months on the Vermont Central before . we suoceeded In getting our demands and the Chloago atrtke recently aettled wt won after a bat tle ot more than a year. So you aee we are loag-winded ' fighters. . '- .'. - Says Organisation Is Tboroach. "Our organisation to thorough. The In ternational Aeaociatloa of Machinists con trols the trade. There is no question of that. Idle men in our craft are simply these who wsnt to be Idle or are too in competent to get work. Our financial re sources are sufficient to meet all the exi gencies of the present atrtke." 'Will the- machinists try to Induce a sympathetic atrtke of their fellow workmen on ptber roads In order to win the battle with the Union Pacific T" waa asked. "No, we doa't believe tn that method. I don't think sympathetic strikes are prac tical or beneficial. We are able to fight our own battle. All we ask of our friends Is to be let alone and that no one seek to crowd us out ot our proper place, and of thla we have not the remotest fear." In this connection Mr. O'Connell emphat ically stated that the refusal Of the car builders to strike would have not the sllkhteat effect upon tba machinists, unless It aided them. The two crafts are so dls tlnctly sepsrated aa to make neither at all (ependent upon the other. He expressed pleasure that they had not struck, for It relieves the American Federation ot Labor of adlltlonal financial burdens. ' Ask Only financial art. Fourth Vice President Wilson here In terposed the statement thai neither the car builders nor trainmen had been asked or expected to strike In order to aid the ma chinists. All they were expected to do was to contribute financial support. Mr. Wilson said ths trainmen had expressed their will ingness to do this, one of them saying that $1,000 rould be raised In Omaha within three days if necessary. President O'Connell declares that the Union Pacific cannot fill the strikers' places with competent men. Those being brought In he Instate are Incompenent men who have been discharged by other firms. As to the prospects of an early settle ment, he says It depends wholly upon the company's ability or inability to preserve Its motive power. It this ran be done for a few weeks or months a settlement need not be looked for within that time, but if the company falls to keep Its motive power up to a atandard sufficient to In sure the operstlon of Its trslns an early settlement will be made He expressed the opinion that the road had not yet been seriously affected and that It might be able to run along for some weeks without seri ous handicap. Asked It he would Inaugurate any change In the management of the strike. Mr. O'Connell said he would not, that things were being managed aatlsfactorlly and that no Innovation was necessary. More New Men Brooht la. Officials of the Union Paclflo aald yester day that sixteen good machinist had been brought into the city within the last twenty-four hours and put to work in the shops, Incressing the force to about sixty six. Two new blackimlths were employed beside the new men Imported. All the car builders are at work and things, ac cording to the officials, are runlng along smoothly. The company finds no room for complaint. Master Mechsnlo Barnum said there was no great demand for any more men than were on hand and that for this reason there Is no cause for alarm over being able to get out enough work. NEW MEN IN CHEYENNE SHOPS Eleven Machinists from Denver and Other Points and Bunk In Shops. CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 8. (Special Tele gram.) The local etrike sltatlon of the ma chlnists looks better tonight for the railroad side than at any time since tbe walkout. ! Today eleven machinists from Denver and ! Indiana points arrived and were put to work. They will be boarded and lodged by the company near the scene of their la bors. Local machinists are not at all dis couraged by the Importations and say they will surely win the strike. A report from Rawlins tonight ssys that three of the four machinists that remained at work when the others went on a strike today laid down their tools and joined the etrlkcrs. The one man remaining at work is the air pump man and the strikers claim he will be out In a tew days. Plnkerton Men. In t'bsrge. DENVER, Colo., July 8. The situation at the local Union Pacific shops la more critical than at any time since tbe strike was be gun. A force of Plnkerton men has been put In charge of the shops, and the city has supplied four policemen for protection. Trouble Is not expected from the strikers themselves, but from sympathizers who work In the thirty or more contract shops of the city. Since one of the workmen was as saulted on Sunday night the crowd that gathers at night has been continually on the Increase and the steps for protection have been taken as a precautionary measure. The strikers now assert that they have all the experienced machinists out but three, and that all ft the., botlermakers, blacksmiths and coprjjf smiths have stopped work. The strikers .obtlnus to patrol the grounds outside of tbe Plnkerton lines. COUNTY EQUALIZERS FINISH (Continued from First Page.) superintendent of publlo instruction, the two to cost $42.

TEAMSTERS REFUSE TO AID Will Hot Assist Chicago Freight fiandlift in fheir Btriks. reasons given in Public statement Officials of the Trarastere' laloa gay Freight Handler. Inaaawrated Strike Wlthoat Sanction of Federation of Labor. CHICAGO, July . 8. Through the efforts of Chairman Job of the atate arbitration committee a.seriea of meetings bate been arranged for 10 o'clock tomorrow morning between the general managers of each of the roads and a committee of five men from the striking freight handlers of the same line. Chairman Job went to each railroad sep arately and. asked the general manager If he would receive a committee of the strikers. In every Instance he waa In formed that the committee would be re ceived If It was understood that It came from ths employes of the road . and not from the Freight Handlers' union. Then Mr. Job reported to the men his success with the railroad and secured their con sent to the meetings. If was arranged that each committee should - Consist of five strikers. The conference will be held at S a. m. These committees will not of themselves be empowered to settle the strike, and If any agreement Is made at the meetings It will be reported back to the union at 2 p. m, for' approval and no action will be taken "until It has the sanc tion of the officers of the union. Chairman Job laid tonight that he had Inserted the entering wedge for the settle ment of the strike. "The men. have ail 'along insisted," he aald, "that they would not meet the man agers unless they were received as mem bers of the union. ' The managers have said that they would confer with the men at any time provided they came as em ployes of the road with a grievance to be adjusted. Of course I cannot tell what will come from the meetings, but the dlffer- ences In the demands of the men and the concessions of the roads are.so slight that recognition of the union Is practically tbe only thing at Issue. The men show a dls- position to be less stiff In this respect, and I hope that we have entered upon the be ginning of the end." - i Statement by Cor ran. President Cur-ran of the Freight Handlers Issued the following Statement tonight: "We have offered to submit the Issue to arbitration. I .bad a long conference tonight with Mr. Job' of trie State Board or Arbitration ana we went over the situ atlon fully. He suggested that a commit tee of five freight handlers' in each of- tba fifty or more freight houses In Chicago be appointed to call upon the railway man agera by which they are employed and present our grievances. I readily agreed to Mr. Job's suggestion and the committees win be appointed at 6 o clock tomorrow. Those committee' will confer with the rail road officials at 10 O'clock and at 2 o'clock in the afternoon' will "report to the com mlttee of the freight handlers' union. The reports of those vkrlous committees will decide tho duration "of the strike. 1 feet assured that the difficulty will be amicably adjusted before', tomprrow nlght.' , At all the freight houses pickets en deavored to pursu'ade new comeri from tak ing Jobs and sought to lure tie men away. already at Work, f-rn'-the Varls of the I1TI riols Central.'ffie m& yough In lost tight were, at wwk.,cur5f-$aDl0-AlM-, Tbir spent tbe night.

A man familiar with the present trouble and experienced la strikes said, today: If the-teamsters come to the aid of, the freight handlers they will win; If not the chances are that they will lose. It Is too easy for the railroads to bring in new men. Thla statement la full of meaning in con nection with the statement of officials of the Teamsters' union, who have skid that the freight handlers proceeded to strike with out the sanction of the Chicago Federation of Labor and that, therefore, they would be allowed to fight out their own salvation. Jobbing; Interests . Suffer, The Jobbing Interests of the city are seriously tied up In their chipping depart ment. Heavily laden trucks which left tor the freight yards yesterday are. In many Instances, still In waiting to be unloaded The roads so far have had but little chance ot handling anything save perishable freight. This afternoon inquiries from the various railways elicited ' the Invariable statement that freight ot all kinds was being handled with scarcely any delay. It was claimed by all that they had sufficient men to do the work. Among the recruits at the Illi nois Csntral was an old man and his three stalwart, sons from "down the state." "I am a atockholder la a small way,' aald the old man, "and as I heard your men were leaving, I came - up with my three boys." Tbe quartet were put to work by tbe superintendent to whom tho an nouncement quoted was made, President Curran of the freight handlers declared that he had been assured of the support of the teamsters as- Individuals and It Is certain that no " effort will te spsrsd by tbe freight handlers to obtain ths support of the union to which tbe drlv ers belong. National Secretary Turley of (ho teamsters' organisation aald he knew of no action on the strike being contem plated by hla union and aald the drivers WCro performing their duties usual save In a few Individual cases. Clerks Keen Ont of Strike. ' After a protracted meeting the Railway Clerks' union early today decided that It would not aid the striking freight handlers In any way. When the meeting convened last mgbt a deputation ot the atrlkers pre sented a requeet for aid, which the clerks, after a long debate, refused to grant Even a vote of sympathy with the strikers was refused. Investigation by reporters of tho state meat that full crews were working and In terviews with members ot wholesale firms seemed te Indicate that the reports of the railroad officials were somewhat optimistic. At the Wabash depot but ten men were found at work and the Michigan Central and Wlaconsln Central, where hundreds of men went out, scarcely any were found at work. It waa. said, however, that a full force of men would be on tomorrow. About 60 per cent of the wholesalers re ported curtailment or a complete stoppage of buatness with outside points, while the remainder said business was going forward about as ususl. Some firms laid off a number of men pending a settlement of the strike. A big grocery firm said It had shinned no good for two days. Another house Franklin Mc Veagh ft Co. was practically closed today and a member ot the firm said that no at tempt was being made to ship goods by freight, express or water. Montgomery Ward ft Co.. Marshall Field ft Co.. John V Farwell ft Co. and other big Arms declared mat may oad been able to ship very Ilttl toaay. On the other baud Hlbbard. Spencer, Bart lett co. aald they bad exDerlenced llttl difficulty In tbelr shipping department. The National Biscuit comnanv reoorta that it was abls today to ship by all roads except ths Great Wesstra, Burllnjtoa sad Bock Ialand. Whenever possible these shipments are tnsde by using the mall and expre-s services. Prices In South Water street, where poul try, vegetables, fruit, etc., are handled, were Somewhat higher today aa a result of the strike. The local business Interests affected are said to bo exerting a powerful pres sure on the railroads to bring about a set tlement. Teamsters Itefase to Go Ont. This afternoon the teamsters decided not to aid la the strike. They Issued tbe fol lowing over the signature of E. I.

PRESIDENT MITCHELL APPROVES PLAN I'nlon Mill Accept Ro Aid, However, I'ntll After Their Present Fonda Are Completely Exhaoeted In Supplies. WILKESBARRE, Ta., July 8. A national defense fund, to which all organized labor and the public In general will be asked to coniriDiite, is the latest proposition placed ! on foot to holn the atrlkln anthrnrltn rnl . . U . i i ..run v lilt, a- cvici n i ivu, hum , , ... r. , . ; lon conference with President Mitchell, during which the plan was approved by the miners' chief .mi m- Whlto will at one. begin prepsrstlons to carry out the plan. Mr. Mitchell wants It understood, how ever, that the miners' union will accept no aid until their own resources are ex hausted. Mr. White came here authorized by several labor organizations to place tbe proposition before President Mitchell. After the conference Presldent.Mltchell had noth ing to say about the matter beyond th brief statemtmt that he approved. the plan. Mr. White gave out the following state ment: President Mitchell will Recent the co- I operation and whatever aid may be ren- i dered by labor organizations of the conn I try and others, but with the understanding that It Is to be onlv used when their own funds become exhausted, which will not be for some time. Mr. Mitchell eays that before soliciting outnide support the min ers at work must set the example them selves by contributing a considerable por tion of their earnings to sustain their fel lows who are fishting their common bat tle. This will be determined upon at the Indianapolis convention. Mr. Mitchell also welcomed the aid tendered bv men of ( means and Influence outside the ranks of Efforts will also be made to organize movement throughout the country so that the unions and others may be prepared to collect fundt when the time Is propitious. Public men will aleo undertake an In dependent movement and solicit subscrip tions from those not connected with labor organization)). This movement was organ ized Jn New York and Ihe labor organiza tions and sympathizers In all the principal cities of the rountrv will be railed on to appoint committees to carry on similar WUI IV. All friendly newspapers will be- asked to co-operate. The scheme In brief contem plated the concentration of the enernv and reaources of organized labor In behalf oi the miners' cause, a result which has never before been achieved. It Involves the ralxing of a Klven amount of money each week with which provisions and other necessaries of life -will bo purchased The plan has the approval of President Samuel Oompers and it wll be placed be fore the executive committee of the Amer ican Federation of Labor for endorsement at Its sessions, which open In Ban Fran cisco next week. Gompers Approves Plan. Mr. Gompers, In bis letter ot approval. raid I bear to sav that vour action meets with my hearty approval And you can say so to President-Mitchell. Anything which I can no toward nrinKing anout tne end desired will be cordially done. Of course. It Is understood that the en ure pian is contingent upon the Indlannp oils convention of mine workers voting uuwn-a raouon ror a general strike, as in mat event tne aja wnich the soft coal min ers will be able to render would he put off as it would be out of the Question to try to maintain , the vast number that would De mvoivea. The operators are counting upon the means or tne miners soon becoming e- hauated .and whvns it-, lo .demonstrated , to them that the funds will be forthcoming to proionn ine contest lnoenmtety, ir need be, the situation- will be changed materially. Personally Secretary White disapproves of the proposed general suspension order of mining as well as of sympathetic strikes In general. He expressed his views on the subject as follows I believe that should the Indianapolis convention order a general suspension or mining a grcav disturbance will be created without in any way oenentina- tnose wnom It alms to help. Besides, It would make necessary a violation of agreements which would be so conspicuous as to discredit the entire labor movement. Hucn a mis take would be all the greater because there would be no apparent advantage by It. If trades union can violate agreements whenever It is convenient to do so, then the employers will be justified In doing the same; consequently agreemenis would have no binding force and no effect. If labor organizations are to Improve their standings in the business world they must abide by the principles involved in an agreement. ...
