FUTILE SEARCH FOR FOULTZ
Exciting Time in an Alley in North
west Washington.
Police Kept Busy All Night by Re-
ports That the Colored Murderer
Had Been Seen.

An unfounded report to the effeCrt that
Dorsey Foultz, the much nted murderer
Of Charles Robinson, had been captured
gained wide circulation yesterday after
noon anc evening. The rumor originated
with a cUlored ma n named Lewis, W no lives
in Wynn's alley. between Seventh and
Eighth and X and streets northwest, and
rho claims to know the murderer.
Lewis imagined that lie saw FOultz enter
the alley, and fastened to police head
uuarte and reported his belief. Inspector
Holliuberger at once sent Detectives Helan,
Lacey aBd Rhodes to search for che man
where Lewis had seen him, as he stated, on
the roof of an adjoining house. With the
arrival of the detectives came squad of
policemen under Sergt. DUNCAN, and an
other from the Eighth precinct, under
Sergt. Jones, who Joined in the search,
and there was not a foot of ground in
that vicinity bet was Thoroughly gone over,
nor hiding place but was peered into. No
trace, how ever, could be found Of FouItz.
Every exit from the alley was closely
guarded 10y policemen, while others tried
to find the murderer.

was intense, and hundreds of people, the
ma iority or them colored. gathered about
the scene to render assistance, and eagerly
discussed every phase of the situation For
some unaccountabl reasonthe search caused
the rumor to get into circulation that
Foulz had been captured. but for this there
was absolutely no foundation, as at no
time did the officers catch sight Of their
man, and it is now definitely known that
he had not been there. Cert ain it is that
had he been he would have been taken
prisoner.
The colored people were so excite over
the search that a number OF them imag
ined that they saw FnultZ several times in
va rious places last night. These alleged
clews caused the police no end of trouble,
as In each case the Tumors were clDsel y fol-
lowed up, but as usual nothing could be
found of FoultZ. and investigation showed
that he had been nowhere In the neigh
hoods referred to by the informers. Moth

MENACING AMERICAN MINERS.
Canada Sending Maxim Guns for It's
Mounted Police at Yukon.

Montreal Quebec, Aug. 9.-American
miners who go into the Canadian section
of the Yukon gold fields are to be con-
frontet; by two British maxim guns in the
hands of the mounted police.
This is the decision by the dominion gov
eminent, and the two guns viii leave Vic
toria. b. c., on Saturday night. The excuse
is that the government is determined to
leave nothing undone to maintain Law and
order and enforce the regulations, and it
has been decided to appoint an admins
TRAITOR for the district, who viii have en-
tire charge of all officials there and be
chief executive.
Major Walsh, who was active IN sup
pressing the Rel rebeIioH4n 1885, has
been selected for the post He had o large
experience of rough frontier life, and is
accustomed at the head of few men to
face large bodies of hosties and quell all
disturbances.
One of the Maxim guns is to be stationed
at TagIsh, Just over the summit of the White
Pass and the other at Fort Cudahy. The
government claims that IL body of miners
congregate to resist the law they would
think twice before proceeding il they knew
that Major Walsh, at the head of 100
picked men back ed up by two Maxim guns,
stood In their path.
Orders have been given reducing the
size of claims from 500 to 100 feet, and
the new regulations will go into effect at
once.
