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

in the ! canal franchise requiring the use
of French material only a the construction
Of the canal, and the " State department

While Posse is Taking; tp Poult Ion

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

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.

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."

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

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

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

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

Amusements.
At the Boyd
"In the Hollow of His Hand," a melo
drama of the south, with all the adjuncts
of that type of play, was put on last night
at the Boyd by. tbe Ferris Stock company.
It Is a decidedly Interesting piece, tells
good story and Is far above the ordinary
typo of thrillers. Miss Junle Swift as
sumes the role for wnicn Miss Hayward
was csst and shows, as she has heretofore,
much talent and capability as an actrets.
Miss Swift studies closely and Intelli
gently presents each character she as
sumes. Other members of the company
render their parts with the conscientious
care that has marked them from the open
ing of the season. "In the Hollow of His
Hand . will be given at a matinee today
and tonight again.
Mr. and Mrs. Ferris have returned from
Illinois and on Thursday night will give
'Graustark," Mr. Ferris taking tbe role
of .the young American hero and Miss Hay-
ward tba part of the princess of Grau
stark.

PRESIDENT MITCHELL APPROVES PLAN

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

; 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

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. ...
