WASHINGTON, July 8.—The State de- partment has declded to press forward toward completion the Colombia treaty looking to the acquisition of right-of-way of the isthmlan 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 in the shape -of a protocol sub- mitted to the last session of congress, ha: taken steps to give this te form of a treaty and to have it signed formally by accredited reprefentatives of the govern- ment of Colombia and of thé United States, 80 that the convention may be laid before (the senate as soon as it convenes in De- rcember. By adopting this course the State department will' remove, It is expected, any chance of having the agreement already ‘weached with Colombia disturbed by any- thing that may occur as A" result of polit- \ical ‘ehanges, for it is-sheypurpose to hold ‘that such agreemen dulr en upon; dre not .umuMpumm. fn the event of a change:of government. The protocol referred to was so definitely drawn that not any changes are required in order to adapt the instrument for use a8 a treaty. No difficulty is expected to result in se- ouring ;an abatement of the old provision Jn the! canal franchi requiring the use of French material only jn the construction of the canal, and the State department already has received an assurance from the French government which it regards as Imeeting the objection that has been made on that score, LIEUTENANT KILLS HIMSELF vl R, Barnett of Qi lermaster’ Department Jomps from I Fire Bac INGTON, July .—The War depart- ment 1% advised that Lieutenant Charles R.

HOT ON TRAIL OF TRACY Oregon Oenviot Being Pursued by Overa Thousand Armed Me; DESPERADO DISPLAYS WONDERFUL NERVE While Posse is Taking Up Position to Capture Him the Conviet Ties Man {0 & Tree and Makes His Bee SEATTLE, July 8.—Harry Tracy, the fu- gltive Oregon convict, who has killed six men' and wounded several others since June 9, is being hotly pursued by men and dogs In the country southeast of Seattle and will probably be slaim or eaptured within a few hours. His pursuers; who have with them two fine bloodnhounds, are only a short distance behind him. Traéy made another axtraordinary es- cape from one of the posses after him this afternoon. Word was recelved at the sherif's office that Tracy had been at the house of a Mrs. Gerald near Renton 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 them that Tracy was still in the house. On the arrival of Sheriff Cudihee 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 in this instance. In the back yard of the Gerald | home was found Anderson, the man whom Tracy had kept a prisoner from the time he left Port Madison tled to & tree. Tracy had tled Anderson to the tree while the posse were in full view of the house, be- fore making his escape. The bloodhounds were let looss 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 his flight | toward Cedar mountain. Anderson Tells Story. Surrounded by a morbid mob of men in the Benton saloon John Anderson related his experfences since the night he left Port Madison in Jobnson's white boat until his | rescue at the Gerald house at 6 o'clock | tonight, From his story it is evident that Traoy hds accomplices who are - lending | him material assistance in his flight through the country. Anderson sald: “We left Port Madison Saturday night at 9 o'clock. We went to West Seattls, arriving at daylight. I pulled the boat, he holding & gun over me all the way. We landed south of the West Seattle ele- vator, under a trestle and went directly into the woods. We spent Sunday in the 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 raliroad track toward Black river; we turned oft the track to the left shortly before we reached Black rive We crossed a large hayflield and went into the wood This was Monday morning. When we got {nto the timber we cooked breakfast, We then rested until aftetnoon. At 3 o'clock we started through the tfm- ber toward Renton. Just before 'We reaghtd the railroad bridge ‘over Black river we met four men, and Tracy said, ‘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 ome. of the men to watch me.. He¢ and the three others, after blind folding me, went off and stayed about an hour. When they re- turned they brought me a: bottle, of whisky. “Then we started out. Tracy foroed me to walk in front, and he followed behind, accompanled by the four men we met on the bridge. We arrived at Renton about 11 o'clock and walked yp. the railroad track through the town. .Here Tracy tied me up, and he, accompanied hy the four stran men, left me. They feturned at daylight this (Tueaday) morning snd we went fur- ther back into the brésh and cooked break- fast. After breakfsst Tracy told me' he would go away for & w;m bat would come back in an hour. be returned he brought a little boy from Gerald's hou and we walked down to the Qerald place together. We were in the house about hours when Tracy took me out into the brush. At the river bank he sald: fLie down.' After looking up and down ithe river, Tracy tled me up and cautioned me to keep still. /1 lay in this position until called to by Mrs. Gerald when I hobbled out of the brush into her back yard where this gentleman (indlcating & Post-Iptelli- gencer representative). ustipd the leather straps which held m WILL WIN IN TIME (Continued from First Page.) yleld !n pleceworl We stand first and last for its total abolitios President O'Connell is not -fr-l( that the Machial unien will succumb by prolonged idleness of its members. He sald: » “We are not feellng the strike thus far and we can go on for & long time without feellng it. We are not a radical workmen, but on the éontrary are notably conservative. We go Into & strike reluct- antly, but when we are forced ‘Into one we stay until we have won. Records of past strikes bears out fhis statement. On the Southern rallway the machinists were off a strike for thirtees months and fhally won. We stald out fourteen months on the Vermont Central before we sudcesded in getting our demands and the Chicago strike recently settled we won after a bat- tle of more than a’ year. 8o you see we are long-winded fighters. Says Ory satio Therough. “Our organization ie thorough. The In- ternational Association of Machinists con- trols the trade. There is no question of | that. Idle men In our craft are simply those who want to be idle or are too in- competent to get work. Our financial re- sources are sufficient to meet All the exi- gencles of the present strike. “Will the- machinists try to induce a sympathetic strike of their fellow worl on other roads in order to win the battle with the Unlon Paclfic?’ was asked. “No, we doa't believe in that methed. I don’t think sympathetic strikes are prac- tieal 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 of this we have not t In this connection Mr. 0'Connell emphat- feally stated that the refusal of the car bullders to strike would ve mot the slikhtest effect upon the machinists, unless it alded them. The two erafts are so di tinctly separated as to make ne at all bullders nor trainmen had been asked or expected to strike in order to ald the ma- chinists. All they were expected to do was to contribute financlal support. Mr. Wilson said the trainmen had expressed their will- gness to do this, one of them saying that $1,000 could be ralsed in Omaba within three days if necessary President O'Connell declares that the Union Pacific cannot flll the strikers' places with competent men. Those being brought in he insists 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 can be done for a few weeks or months a settlement need not be looked for within that time, but it the company fails to keep Its motive power up to a standard sufficient to in- sure the operation of its trains an early settlement will be made: He expressed | the opinton 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. 0'Connell sald he would not, were belng managed satisfactorily and that no Innovation was necessary. More New Men Brought In. OMelals of the Union Pacific sald yester- day that sixteen good wnachinists bad been brought into the city within the last | twenty-four hours and put to work in the shops, increasing the force to about sixty- six. Two new blacksmiths were employed beside the new men Iimported. All the car bullders are at work and things, ac- cording to the officials, are runing along smoothly. The company finds no room for complaint. Master Mechanle Barnum said there 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.

CHICAGO, July 8.—Through the efforts of Chairman Job of the state arbitration committee a sories of meetings have been arranged for 10 o'¢lock tomorrow morning between the general managers of each of the roads and a committes of five men from the striking freight handlers of the same line. Chairman Job went to arately and h rafiroad sep- ked the general mapager if he would recelve a committee of the strikers. In every instance he was In- formed that the committee would be re- celved if it was understood that it came from the employes of the road . afid not from the Freight Handlers' union. Then Mr. Job reported to.the men his success | with the ralitoads and secured thelr con- sent to the meetings. If was arranged that | each ‘committeés ‘should consist of five strikers. The conferonce will be held at 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 said tonight that he had Inserted the enteting ‘wedge for the settle- ment of the strike, ““The men : have all along fnsisted,” he aid, “that they weuld not meet the man- agers unless they were received as mem- bers of the union.. The managers have sald tbat 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 differ- ences in the demands of the men and the concessions of the roads are so slight that recognition of the union s practically the only thing at lssue. The men show a dis- position to be leds stiff in this respect, and 1 hope that we have entered upon the be- by the company near the scene of thelr la- | ginning of the end.”” bors. Local machinists are not at all die- couraged by the jmportations and say they will eurely win the strike. A report from Rawlins tonight says that three of the four machinists that rematned ! at work when the others went on a strike today lald down their tools and joined the strikers. he will be out in a few days. Pinkerton Men in Charge. DENVER, Colo., July &.—The situation at | the local Union Pacific shops ls more critical than at any time since the strike was be- gun. A force of Pinkerton men has been put In charge of the shops, and the city has supplied four policemen for protection. Trouble is mot 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 ulted on Sunday night the crowd that gathers at night has been continually on the Increase and the steps for protection have n taken as a precautionary measure. The strikers now assert that they have all the experienced machinists out but three, and’ that lll#! the. bollermakers, blacksmiths and coppgtsmithd have stopped work.

Jobbing Inter: The jobbing interests of the city are seriously tled up in their shipping depart: ment. Heavily ladén trucks which left for the freight yards yesterday are, in mapy ts Suffer. instances, still in walttng to be unloaded. The roads so far haye had but little chance of handling anything save perishable freight. This afternoon inquiries from the various rallways elicited the invariable statement that freight of all kinds was being handled with ecarcely any delay. It was clalmed Dby all that they had suficient men to do the work. Among the recrufts at the Illi- nois Central was an old man and his thre stalwart, sons from “down the state. “I am a stockbolder in & small wa; said the old man, “and as I heard your men were leaving, I came - up with my three boys”" The quartet were put to work by the superintendent to whom the an- nouncement quoted was made. President Curran of the freight handlers declared that he bhad been assured of the support of the teamsters as- Individuals and it is’ certain that no effort will be spared by the freight handlers to obtain the support of the union to which the driv- ers belong. Natlonal Secretary Turley of the teamsters' organization eald he knew of no action on the strike being contem- | plated by his union and said the drivers were performing thelr duties as usual save in & few individual cases. Clerks Keep Out of Strike. After a protracted meeting the Railway Clerks' union early today decided that it would not ald the striking frelght handlers in sny way. When the meeting convened last night a deputation of the strikers pre. sented a request for aid, which the clerks, after a-long debate, refused to t. Even a vole of sympathy with the strikers was retused. Investigation by reporters of the state- ment that full créws were working and in- terviews with members of wholésale firms seemed to indicate that the reports of the rallroad officlals were somewhat optimisti At the Wabash depot but ten men were tound at work &nd the Michigan Central and Wisconsin Central, where bundreds of men went out, scarcely any weré found at work. It was.sald, however, that & full force of men would be on tomorfow. About 50 per cent of the wholesalers re- ported curtallment or a complete stoppage of business with outside polnts, while the remainder said business was golog forward about as usual. Some firms lald off a number of men pending a settlement of the strike. A big grocery firm said it had shipped no goods for two day: Another house—Franklin Mc- practically closed toda member of the firm sald that no af tempt was being made to ship goods by freight, express or wates Montgomery, Ward & Co., Marghall Field & Co., John V.
