One Condition by the Former in Arbitrating Its Differences With the Latter. The United States to Guarantee Judg- ment if It is Agninst Hawaii. It is learned that one of the conditions imposed by the Japanese government in ac- cepting the proposition to arbitrate its dif- ferences with Hawaii is that the United States shall guarantee the satisfaction of the judgment in case it is adverse to Ha- wali. This condition, it is explained, is based on the belief that the United States will soon annex the Hawaiian Islands, and the republic of Hawaii will pass out of ex- istence. Unless the United States shall give some satisfactory assurance that the devision of the arbitration tribunal will be carried out in the event it is adverse to Hawali, the Japanese government, it is de- clared, will not enter into such an arrange- ment, as in the event of the annexation of Hawaii there would be no other country to look to for redress. It is sald that the State Department has already received tn- timation to this effect from the Japanese government. The position of the Japanese government is perfectly well understood, and there is a disposition in official circles to acknowledge the equity of its conten- tion that if the United States annexes Ha- wali it should assume the legal obligations entered into by Hawaii with knowledge and consent of the United States pending the consideration of the question of an- nexation. It is expected that formal nego- ations on this point will soon be opened governments of Japan and the etween the The managers of the Westmoreland Coal and it is not doubted that Company state they not enjoin the a States will make all honorable strikers, but are ready for them.

Storm Visits the Camp. Consternetion was caused in the miners’ camp last evening by a terrific wind and electrical storm, w ich passed over the Turtle Creek valley, doing a great deal of damage. At Sandy Creek a tree in the yard of the Jefferson school house, under which was a group of the striking miners, who are in camp at that place keeping a Wateh on the DeArmitt mines, was struck by a bolt ard shattered into match wood splinters. Two of the men, Vincent Coffic, from the Essen mine No. 3, and George Sedwick from the Moon Run district, were shocked into insensibility. Their condition is still critical. Stx. others were also sbocked and badly frightened, but soon re- covered. ‘The occurrence caused the wildest excite- t among the striking miners. The orm came upon them without warning, 1 there was a wild scurry for shelter, of none at all, except that forded by their one small tent and the trees. As soon as it was seen that two of the men were in a serious condition severai ef their comrades were dispatched for medical assistance, while others carried the two stricken men into a nearby farm . Where they were later attended by Wilson of Rodi. Ordered Of De Armitt’s Property. When the storm came up many of the Strikers, forgetting that they were going on to company property, and into the com- pany of deputy sherfffs, took refuge in De Armitt’s stables, where the deputies are quartered. the storm had passed, and they were im- mediately ordered away.

He Was Formally Installed in Office This Mo ns. Judge Robert J. Tracewell of Indiana, who succeeds Judge Bowler of Hlinois as controller of the treasury, appeared at the Treasury Department this morning and was formally installed in office. The oath of office was administered to him by a clerk in the appointment division having notarial powers. Deputy Controller Bow- ers enlightened the new controller as to official auties and introduced the principal officers of the bureau to him. Controller Tracewell spent the dzy in familiarizing himself with the business routine of the bureau. He is a tall, fine-looking man, with heavy black hair and mustache and a swarthy complexion. There is nothing stiff or formal about him, and he bids fair to become a popular official. a SILVERBERG RELEASED. But He Must Keep Out of Germany in the Future. The United States consular agent at Fric- berg, Baden, Germany, reports to the De- partment of State that he has finally se- cured the reiease of Harry Silverberg, alas John C. Drayten, of Little Rock, Ark., who was condemned by the German gov- €rrment last January to two and a half years’ imprisonment on account of several alleged violations of law. The German gov- ernment required zn escort for Silverberg to Bremen, and a bond of 1,000 marks that he keep out of German territory. Silver- berg was placed on board a steamer of the North German Lloyd line bound for Bal- Umore. ——____ SUBMARINE TORPEDO BoaT. it Will Be Launoned at Baltimore Next Saturday. The Navy Department has been informed that the submarine torpedo boat which has been in course of construction by the Co- lumbian Iron works at Baltimore for over a year past will be launched next Satur- day at noon. Mr. John C. Holland, inven- tor of the vessel, has invited many naval officers and other officers to be present when the strange craft takes her first dip into the water, and the occasion will be made as interesting as possible. The con- tractors are way behind in their work, and have been granted an extension on ac- count of the novel and original character of the work. In the event of the success of the vessel it is more than probable that several similar vessels of a larger size will be constructed for the government. —_—_—___-e<——— Personal Mention. Lieut. Wm. W.

JAPAN AND HAWAIIIA STRING TO rs F ge: h The Rumored Withdrawal of Senator Gorman From Politics. WANTS TO RECAPTURE MARYLAND Willing to Sacrifice Himself to Ac- camplish That Result. WILL THEN COME OUT SSS It is understood that the statement given out last night on the authority of a “close personal friend” of Mr. Gorman, that Mr. Gorman would not be a candidate for re- election to the Senate, was made with the sanction of Mr. Gorman. The statement was carefully prepared and given to sev- eral newspapers. The inference is that the reason Mr. Gorman does not make the an- rouncement over his own signature, rather than in this indirect way, is that there is a “string to it.” If the democrats fail to elect the legislature this fall it will be ex- plained that Mr. Gorman had decided, be- fore the election. not to be a candidate. If a democratic legislature is elected, there is little doubt that the democrats of the state will insist upon Mr. Gorman retaining his seat, and he will do so. However, the senior Maryland senator is in very bad health, and for some time he has, in an indefinite sort of way, talked about desiring to retire. Object of the Announcement. Yet it is not thought that the present an- neuncement, made in a semi-official way, signifies more than that Mr. Gorman does not want his personality to be the overshadowing presence in the Maryland campaign. Mr. Gorman wants to get every vote possible for the democratic ticket, and does not want any to be lost through per- scnal antagonism to him. It is calculated -that all the Gorman people will work earn- estly for the party whether or not Gorman is the issve. Therefore if some of the anti- Gorman people who would otherwise join the opposition can be induced to support the democratic ticket through it being un- derstood that the senatorship will be open to all comers, should they carry the legis- lature, this would be just so much gain. Would Sacrifice Himself to Recap- ture Maryland. It Is said by some of Mr. Gorman’s friends that even if he wanted re-election he would readily sacrifice himself if he thought it necessary in order to recapture Maryland from the republicans. All seem to main- tain the belief, however, that if a demo- cratic legislature fs elected he will succeed himself, even though he does announce in advance that he does not care to be a can- didate. It is thought that his determina- tion to retire is like the similar determina- tion Mr. Quay reaches now and then. SENATOR GORMAN’S PLANS. Will Not Talk About the Senatorial Race. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. LAUREL, August 5.—The Star corres- pondent saw Senator Gorman here this morning just before his departure for Sara- toga, N. Y., where he goes to spend three weeks. When asked as to the truth of the Statenient published this morning that he intended to withdraw from the senatorial race in Maryland, the senator said: “I have not read the statement through. I am not, however, prepared to make ny statement concerning the interview. I do not know either who is responsible for it. So many statements are made concerning me that I rarely pay much attention to them.” The senator appeared to treat the matter lightly. He did not seem at all dis- turbed about it and chatted pleasantly about his trip. He said that he proposed now to free himself from all cares, political and otherwise, and take a much-needed rest. He looked forward to a pleasant trip to the springs, and said that he expected to regain much of the vigor his recent sick- ness had deprived him of. The impression left on your correspondent, however, was that he was better acquainted with the in- terview than he would have any one be- lieve. While the senator presumably treats the interview lightly, his close friends here do not. They think there is considerable foun- dation for it. Some go so far as to say that it Is the first step toward a bid for the presidential nomination of 1900. They say that the senator probably wants to keep out of the coming fight. However, if the democrats are successful in the state, then, they claim, the victory will be credited to Gorman, who outlined the platform. He will then have the backing of his state for the presidency. His defeat for the senate, they say, would of course eliminate him en- trely from the presidential race. Others do not believe the report is true. They say he would hardly have gone to so much trouble making a platform if he had decid- ed to withdraw from the race. The senator will leave Washington about 12:45 o'clock this afternoon, on the Penn- sylvania road, for Saratoga. He will like- ly stop a day‘ en route in New York. —_.—_. A MINING EXPERT. Secretary Gage Will Send One to the Klondike Country. As a result of a consultation between Secretary Gage and Mr. Preston, director of the mint, it has been decided to send a mining expert into the Kiondike country to make an estimate of the probable amount of gold in that country. In view of the lateness of the season it ts not likely, however, that the expert, who is yet to be selected, will start on his mission before next spring. In reaching this decision, the Treasury Department is following the pre- cedent established in the case of the gold discoveries in the Rand, South Africa. When those discoveries were reported the Rothschilds sent Hamilton Smith of New York there to estimate the value of the fields, ard he reported that $8,000,000,000 was his estimate. The Rand fields are in- cluded within an area of ten by forty miles. Mining experts doubted the correct- ness of Mr. Smith’s conclusions on account of the smaliness of the space occupied by the mines, and the German government sent to the Rand Bergath Schmeiser, a noted mining engineer, to make a report. The government of the United States fol- lowed Germany's example by sending Geo. F. Becker theré. Both Schmeiser and Becker agreed with the statement of Mr. Smith, and developments have shown that all three were right. Our Trade With Tanis. Negotiations are now in progress with the French government looking to the con- clusion of a treaty of tfade and ree to govern the relations between the United tates and Tunis.

HOLMAN’S SUGCESSOR Indications Point to the Election ofa Repub- lican Representative, Three Candidates Now in the Ficld— A Strong-Lunged Populist One of Them, The republican congressional committee has received some very encouraging re- ports from the fourth Indiana congres- sional district, where a special election for representative in Congress is to be held this month. The vacancy occasioned by the death of Representative Holman is to be filled. It is claimed the indications are that a republican will be chosen from this district. Judge Holman was elected to the Na- tional House of Representatives last No- vember by a plurality of 825 out of a total vote of about 46,000. It is claimed that different conditions now prevailing will wipe out that piurality and put it on the other side of the balance sheet. In the last election the fight was between the republicans and the combined democrats and populists. This time the populists have a strong candidate in the field and are making a vigorous campaign, dividing the free silver strength of the district. The Candidates. Charles W. Lee is the republican candi- date, Marion Griffiths the democrat and the Rev. Mr. Browder the populist. The campaign is not progressing -with a great degree of intensity, the farmers having their hands full with a magnificent har- vest. They are so busy getting their good crops to market and under cover that the campaigners are having a hard time to get audiences. The Rev. Mr. Browder, the populist can- didate, is said to be a lusty-lunged ex- horter of the old school, and brings camp meeting methods into play with the coun- try folks, to the discomfiture of his oppo- nents, although he does not profess to be confident of victory. The republicans are accused of regarding his candidacy with a great deal of toleration, to say the least. One of Mr. Browder’s meetings is thus described by an eye witness: “One night last week Mr. Browder and Samuel Ralston were both billed to speak at Seymour. The democrats had secured the principal hall, situated on the sécond floor of a business block, and in the main street of the city, for thelr meeting. After a long and patient wait, Ralston’s hall was sufficiently full of sweltering. humanity to justify opening the proceedings. Mr. Ral- ston was introduced and beggn speaking. A Duel of Lugg Rewer. “Meanwhile, Mr. Browder, mindful of his voice, had procured a lagge dry goods box, to be placed just across the street from where Ralston was speaking, and, deposit- ing his carpet bag on the, pd, he mount- ed the improvised rosttum gnd began to pour forth period agter,,perigd about the beauties of the initfative and referendum and government ownership of corporations, in a voice that resembled am eruption of Vesuvius. “Almost instantly, a sgore of heads were thrust out of the raised wigdows of the hail in whtch Mr. Ralston was now vainly struggling to prevent his own thoughts frcm being confused and his voice drowned. The struggle was desperate, but brief. Ralston’s audiénce poured out of the hall and down into the eool street, where it could view the colossus on the box. Those near the stage heard Ralston, with one last painful effort, thunder something about the heat of the hall being oppressive, anyway; then all was hushed within, and twenty minutes after Browder began talk- ing Ralston leaned disconsolately against a tree, an astonished spectator of the popu- list’s audience.” Ee ARMOR PLATE FOR SHIPS. Conference Between Ansistant Secre- tary Rooseve)t and Mr. Cramp. Mr. Chas. Cramp of the shipbuilding firm of Cramp & Sons was at the Navy Depart- ment today in conference with Acting Sec- retary Roosevelt and Capt. O'Neill, chief ef the ordnance bureau, to learn the inten- tion of the department in the matter of procuring armor for the battle ships now building. The response of the Cramps to Secretary Long’s invitation to submit pro- posals for supplying such armor as they need for the ships they are building has been delayed by the absence from the United States of Mr. Charles Cramp. He has now made answer, and. as was ex- pected, declines to undertake the task. He was not averse, however, to undertaking to supply the small quantity of diagonal armor, amounting to about eighty tons for each ship, at the maximum price allowed by Congress—$300 per ton—his offer to do this being based on a desire to prevent a possible stoppage of work on the ships owing to the lack of this particular armor, which must be worked into the hull struc- ture. Meanwhile the acting secretary is pro- ceeding to carry out the direction of Con- gress.on the lines laid down by Sccretary Long, and he has completed the personnel of the special board which is to make an investigation of the cost of establishing a government armor plant, As announced to- day, the board will consist of Commodore Howell, commandant of the League Island navy yard; Capt. McCormick, captain of the Norfolk navy yard; Chief Engineer Perry, from the Monterey; Civil Engineer Menocal, from the New York navy yard; Licut. F. F. Fletcher, from the torpedo sta- tion, with Lieut. W. I. Chambers, from the Minneapolis, as recorder. This board will meet Monday next in the erdnance bureau here for organization and, to outline the plan of work. It is not-yet even to be con- jectured how long the inquiry will last, but from the magnifude of the task, and the probability that. @ifficulty will be en- countered in securing the. informatien as to the cost of plants «cost of produc- tion of armor, the end cannot be reached very much earlier than the embling of the next gession of Congress, 1 to which the results must be reported. ee THE BATTLE SHIP IBDIANA.

Fowler Cornered Him in His Stable, A Talk With the Criminal in His Cell. PHOTOGRAPHED AND MEASURED Exciting Chase by Officers During Last Night. TAKEN INTO COUR?! James, alias Patrick, Carr, charged with having committed a felonious assault on little Rosa Robinson, is no longer a fugitive from justice. He was captured this morn- ing, a few minutes before 8 o'clock, in a stable in rear oe the house of Mr. Joseph O. Fowler, No. L street northeas' The arrest was the result of possibly one of the most exciting pursuits ever engaged in by members of the police department. All night long the off trail, and he was ‘crowded to earth,”’ so to speak. The fugitive realized, when he went to the home of Mr. Fowler, that his oniy hope was to effect a thorough disguise and speedily transfer himself to another part of the city, or even get out of the District entirely; and the result was an appeal for aid, based upon his helplessness and lack of friends. For the first time since the commission of the crime the second pre- cinct officials, or many of them, believed last night that Carr was really in the city, and they strained every nerve to apprehend him. “My God, Joe,” exclaimed Mrs. Stack to her= son-in-law, Joseph Fowler, “thete’s Carr in the yard.” This was the first Mr..Fowler knew of the presence of the fugitive on his premises. His wife had been confined only a few hours before, and her mother had been up all night waiting on the sick woman. She could not be mistaken in the identity of the one she saw in the yard, for she was as famillar with his face as she was with the faces of her own children. During his boyhood days he had delivered milk at her house, and she had seen him too often to be mistaken. Carr Was There. Mr. Fowler hastened to the window, and beheld Carr with his own eyes. “Hello, Carr,” he said, and the man out- side answered the salutation. “I’m a pocr orphan boy,” the fugitive ex- claimed, “and am without friends. For God's sake, Mr. Fowler, give me a dress, so they won’t know me.” “I haven’t any dress,” the man of the bouse told him. “Then give me a shawl,” pleaded the young man, who then believed he was soon to fall in the hands of the officers. “For God’s sake give me something, or I’m gone.” Mr. Fowler says he told him to go to the stable and he would do the best he could for him. Carr, who was in his stocking feet, had entered through the open door of the stable and had not taken the precau- tion to close the door behind him. He was so thoroughly frightened that he scarcely knew what to do. While he was proceed- ing from Mr. Fowler’s back window to the stable, Mr. Fowler asked a neighbor to send for the police, as he intended holding Carr a prisoner until the arrival of the of- ficers. Carr, however, thought Mr. Fowler, who had been so well acquainted with his (Carr's) parents, would befriend him when he was most in need, and he went to the stable fully under the impression that he would soon be given a dress and perhaps a rat or bonnet. He was evidently certain ers were hot on Carr's’ seemed to very much relieve Carr, for he 22 felt that he was in the hands of the ie which could result in nothing morc than a term of years in the penitentiary. Brought Second Precin The officers wanted to land their man be- hind the bers as quickly as possible, and irstead of waiting for the patrol wagon to be called they summoned an express wagon, and a few minutes tater the wagon, foi lowed by several hundred men and boys, rolled up in front of the second polic tion. “We've got our man,” said cne officers to a brother officer. I'm glad of it,” came the response, “and I'm glad the second precinct men got him.” Trest spread rapidly about d by the time the prisoner was ation more than a thousand peo- of the in ines s ple crowded about the front door, and there were scores of women in the crowd. The ladies secmed even more anxious than others to see the prisoner, and they were much more persistent. From the curb- stone to the station the prisoner covered in two or three leaps, and when he was placed ut the rail he was asked the usual! questions, and the record entered on the books wa: “James, alias Patrick, Carr, white, nine- teen years old, born in the United States.” A charge of rape was entered, and he was then placed in the cell. When first locked up he refused to say anything, al- though Mr. Fowler, who called at the sta- tion, tald of the conversation he had with him on his premises. Guilty, but Drank. In addition to the statement already men- tioned, Carr told him that he had commit- ted the crime, but at the time was stone blind drunk. Sergeants Dunnigan and Kaucher were there with Lieutenant Teeple, and knowing it was almost useless to attempt an inter- view when the man was excited and hun- gry, they decided to wait until they had given him a good breakfast. “I'm played out,” he said, wnen he saw Policeman Murphy at the cell door, with his breakfast on a tray. “Have you seen anything of the ttle girl?” was his anx- fous inquiry. “Do you know how she is?” Again Admits Guilt. Then he added: “I wouldn't have done the it” Carr’s appearance was that of a man who had been driven almost to desperation, and the officer’s answer to his inquiry about the little girl, together with » breakfast, seemed to have a soothing e! fect. This was about all he would say when he was in the second precinct sta- tion. To a Star reporter, who questioned him cencerning his hiding place, he said he had nothing to say, and intimated that he would say nothing that would tend to give the officers an idea ef who had assisted him. His shoes had been dropped on the street lust night, when he was pursued by several officers, and the prisoner's under- shirt, for he had on no other, showed that he had not had a change of apparel for a long time. This caused the belief that he had not been so well cared for as some of the officers have expected. It was the intention of Lieut. Teeple to he would get the shawl, and it is supposed | have the prisoner interviewed in his pri- he then intended to walk boldly through | vate office about 10:30 o'clock, but before the streets and escape.

Carr being shoeless, his feet protectea only by half hose of terra cotta hue, made no sound as he left the court room. He was led to the basement and again placea behind the bars, this time under the super- vision of Marshal Wilson's chief assistant, Mr. Robiscn.

In me manner the crowd front of police headquarters got wind of the presence of Carr across the street, and a veritable Klondike rush was the re- sult, just as the prisoner reached the celis, after the proceedings in court. Spring: Perhaps a thousand persons were as- sembled about this time at the east end of the building. The eager throng, however, was cleverly thwarted by a skillfully ex- ecuted flank movement, engineered by Dep- uty Marshal Springmann. The marshal’s wagon was backed close to the east doorway, und several geputy marshals took their places, as though pre- paring for the reception of the prisoner, At the same time, while the crowd was anxiously watching the doorway and the wagon, Deputy Marshal Springmann quietly ushered Carr through the west doorway of the cell inclosure and along a dark corri- dor. Turning south into another corridor, the pair were joined by Detective Rhodes, Deputy Marshals Cock and Cusick and a policeman in uniform. The party proceed- ed along the corridor at a brisk trot, and crossed Louisiana avenue on the run. Darting into the detective office, Carr was @ moment later in the presence of Inspec- tor Hollinberger, and but few persons on the outside were aware of his presence. The big crowd at the east end of the city hall did not completely disperse for fully an hour after the departure of the pris- oner. Will Be Tried in October. District Attorney Davis stated to a Star reporter that no effort will be made to try Carr prior to October. The jury in the Criminal Court has been excused until that time, and under a rule of the court another jury could not be impaneied earlier than September.~ The case is not considered of such importance as would warrant the abolition of all rules and precedents in order to proceed at once with the trial of the accused. The presence and bearing of Carr in court impressed some of the spectators favor- ably, several stating that they would with- hold their condemnation of the young man until he had been granted a fair trial. Measured by Bertiliion Method. Carr was brought to police headquarters from thé Criminal Court on a dead run in the custody of Bailiff Springmann. He was pushed down the steps leading into de- tective headquarters, and hurried into th little back room where criminals are meas- ured by the Bertillion method. He had on ne shoes, and complained that his unpro- tected feet were sore. The crowd that had been waiting all morning, as soon as they saw him coming, rushed about the railing in front of the detective office, and for a time it looked as if the way would be through. z Once inside the office the criminal crouch- ed in @ chair, trembling like a frightened the clerks in the District building had gath- ered to get a glimpse of the ravisher.
