Hammond, The men arc | e in the | the most | ahoard a posse under W. Sheriff of Jefferson County. especially selected for ser woods. The Sheriff is one of country. The Government vessels pro- ceeded to Seabeck and from there will go to Brifnon, thus preventing Tracy's es- cape to the coast by Hood canal and the | Olympic Mounta! The latter being | sparsely settled, would furnish an almost pregnable stronghold for the convict, At a late hour this afternoon a report was received from Port Ludlow to the effect that a small skiff was seen between Foul Weather Bluff and Ludlow Head, crossing rapidly. The skiff was too far off to be distinctly seen. The fact was reported to the office A special dispatch to the gencer from § Post-Intelli- s Washington (D. C.) cor- as follo No order | was issued from the Treasury Department directing the revenue cutter Grant to join | in the chase for Tracy. It explained | by Assistant Secretary Ailes to-night that if the Grant had sailed on this errand the commander of the vessel has probably acted upon his own responsibility or un- der the direction of the Collector of Cus- toms at Port Townsend. In either event, Ailes said, the action would have been justified witnout specific orders from the department.” That Tracy has relatives near Bothell at that place is the opinion of nearly | every resident of the little town. They | state that the murderer's brother-in-law lives somewhere in the woods about fif- teen miles north of the town, and that to reach him has been Tracy’s chief object since he left Thurston County in the gas- oline launch. MYSTERY OF A BUGGY. The mysterious buggy seen on the coun- ty road mear Wayne Friday night was driven, in the opinion of Bothell people, by the brother-in-law. The convict left this side of the Sound at Meadow Point for Port Madison. From Bothell the county road runs via Fremont and Bal- lard to Richmond beach. Another road, however, leaves the county road several | miles above Bothell and runs to the vicin- | ity of Meadow Point. It is used but rare- { Iy. Along this second road, if the theory | of the Bothell people is correct, Tracy was driven in the buggy. Once he had | passed through the posses’ lines’ on the north of Bothell he would meet no oppo- sition whatever. The buggy was driven south from Both- ell beyond Wayne. It passed a point guarded by Deputy Sheriff Frank P. { Erewer and Deputy Sheriff James Wool- ery, and stopped at the cabin wher | Tracy killed Raymond. It then turned | and sped toward Bothéll, passing the dep- utles again. No trace whatever has been | found of the vehicle since then. No one | In Bothell drove out along the county | | 10ad that night. The general belief is | that it passed on through the town. The night was pitch dark and a heavy rain was falling. It is believed that the mid- night travelers drove by the deputies at the Greenleaf building unnonticed. The finding of Tracy's outfit in the cabin is cited in support of the contention that Tracy escaped in the mysterious buggy. The loft of the cabin was search- ed Friday afternoon by a party in charge of Al Rogers, Constable of Bothell. It contained nothing belonging to the mur- derer. Deputy Sheriff John McClellan of | Thurston County went over it the next day and found the outfit. At first it was believed that the original searchers had been afraid to examine the cabin thoroughly. Evidence was found by Sheriff Cudihee that the loft, which is well lighted, was searched by the Bothell men. Rogers, who directed the latter, proved himself one of the most efficient men of the posse and he declares that the place was thoroughly examined. As a result of these developments it is held at Bothell that Tracy went to the cabin Friday night and there waited for the buggy. When he left he did not take his outfit. It was a meager one at best, and contained nothing that could not be replaced easily by his supposed rela- tive. Nothing definite can be learned of Tra- cy’s brother-in-law. The farmers do not know his name, but many of them state positively that he lives about fifteen miles north of Bothell in the woods. Some say they have known of the relative's exist- ence for a long time, but never paid any attention to him until the convict's es- cape. The place where he is said to live is in the heart of the forest. Dense under- brush and luxuriant ferns and shrubs combine with the virgin timber to make the locality an ideal hiding place. Once there Tracy might lie hidden for twenty years without much danger. It is in the center of a stretch of wild country con- taining swamps and deep ravines. | nies who are CADETS OF LEAGUE OF THE CROSS ASSEMBLE FOR THE MILITARY MASS 1902. Young Soldiers Encamped at Santa Cruz Attend Divine Service Before an Altar Erected Among the Trees, and Then Begin Active Field Work Near the Seashore ANTA CRUZ, July 6.—At an altar et among the redwoods and can- opied by the abundant pepper- tree foliage the League of the Cross Cadets assembled for the military mass this morning. | The day was a glorious one for calm and sunshine, and the solemn ceremony was y i s Every cadet in the camp was in attendance and hun- dreds of townsfolk and other visitors gathered about the altar, which had been beautifully decorated by the ladies of the Church of the Holy Cross. .

Y., were drowned of the great coal strike. There have been many rumors and opinions published that certain coal companies would within a | few days attempt to start one or more collieries, but officials of the big compa- willing to talk deny all knowledge of any attempt to resume op- erations. They say, however, that the number of men applying for work is growing larger each week. Many of them are given employment and the namcs of the others are placed on the waiting list. The number of miners among the appli- cants for work is very small, and so 1ong as the miners themselves refrain from go- ing to the collieries no coal can be mined. A press correspondent to-day sought the opinion of the strikers’ officials as to how long they expected the strike to last, and those of mining superintendents as to whether the price of coal would go up or down during the coming autumn. The labor leaders were unanimous in the be- liet that the strike would still be in pro- gress on September 1 if the operators made no concessions. The company of- ficials were of the opinion that the price of coal during the remainder of this year would not go below present figures, and might gy higher. 5 NEW ' YORK, July 6.—John Miichell, president of the mine workers, arrived in New York to-night: He said he was in the city only to see some friends off to Europe to-morrow. He said he would see n» one while in New York on strike af- fairs nor would he talk about the coming national meeting of mine workers at In- dianapolis. As to the anthracite strike Mitchell said: “The strike is going on all right and in our favor. We are not discouraged by our work since the _beginning of the strike. We will win. No men have gone back at all.” SR D Fighting Special Police Law. SCRANTON, Pa., July 6.—The Central Labor Union to-day inaugurated a fight against the act of the Assembly permit- ting the appointment of the coal and iron police.

Arrangements have about been concluded for the use of twe rooms in the bahk building for office purposes, and it will be there that the President wlil transact most of his business when he comes to_town. 2 Both the President and his secretary have planned to make their brief holiday as restful as possible, and to that end will transact in Oyster only the most immediate public busine: Everything else will be transmitted to Washington for attention there, either by the regular White House force or, in cases where other action is required, by the various departments. s is in accordance w the praetice that has been foilowed st cessfully during previo President will not receive delega hopes to have all questions ing importance submiitea dence. . Mr. Cortelyou will spend most of summer_at Oyster -Bay or within reach of that place.\ Some time during the season he hopes \to put aside work entirely for a short vacation, leaving A sistant Secretary Loeb in charge during his_absence. The meager hotel accommodations hers will go far toward giving the President that rest and freedom from unnecessary official cares which he has made it plain to every one he desires. What scant a commodations there are have been ready pre-empted, and persons arriv here from this time on during the Presi- dent's stay will probably find themselves without a place to sleep. The President spent s restful Sagamorc Hill. Even the howling of the family dog, which was kept up contiu- uously, did not disturb his slumbers. He arose 'early and attended services in Christ Episcopal Church. In his car- riage were Miss Carew, his son Archie and Lieutenant Ferguson of the Rough Riders, who is his guest. While waiting for Mrs. Roosevelt and the rest of the family, tlie President stood outside of the church’ and greeted his friends. To a newspaper man he laughingly remarked that Mrs. Roosevelt and the children were coming along in an express wagon. The people of Oyster Bay seem to re- sent the presence of the Secret Servics men, as they belive that the President is perfectly safe from bodily harm. The strictest surveillance is maintained de- spite these protestations. There was mourning among_the Roose- velt children to-day. While they were all at breakfast the trick dog presented to Archie by Colonel Closen of Chicago died. The dog’s mother, “Bossie,” recently ex- hibited her talents in the White House, and so pleased was Mrs. Roosevelt over the performance that she gave Colonel Closen a handsome collar for the dog. the as night at Fire Is Beyond Control.
