while having both invaders and de-

a common "enemy" and endeavor to
mask the movements of their forces
as much as possible from the public
as in actual warfare. 1t is not believed
that under Secretary Moody's plan
there will be anything to prevent news
organizations from chartering vessels
of their own and keeping up with the

for this is what was done in the late
Spanish-American war. In the late
war the great press organizations also
had correspondents aboard the flag

Secretary Moody points out that his
plan will be valuable in bringing to

Tracy's Threat Had No Effect on
Young Gerald.

Young Gerald.
Seattle, Wash, July S.--News was
received at the sheriffs Office to-day
that Harry Tracy was at Rancher
Gerald's house. below Renton, on the
Cedar Mountain road.
A little after O'clock the 17-year-
old son of Rancher Gerald arrived at
the sheriff's office with a gold and
silver watch. saying that Tracy had
arrived at his fathers house at 1880
o'clock this morning, and after eat
ing a hearty meal. had sent him 10
a neighbours house with the two
watches with instructions to try to
sell them. Tracy said if he were
given away" he would kill the whole
family. the boy included. The boy.
knowing that it was Tracy, concluded
to bring the watches to the sheriff's
office, hoping that the desperate would
remain there until a searching party
could arrive. The watches answer The
description of those stolen from the
Johnsons. Young Gerald described
Tracy accurately and the officers
think that he is trying to make the
Palmer cut off by the Cedar Mountain
road.
Johnsons white boat, used by Tracy
in his escape from Port Madison, has
been found on the mud flats in South
Seattle.
The first posse took trolley car for
Renton. At that place a locomotive Is

Tracy, the fugitive Oregon convict,
who has killed six men and wounded
several others since June 8, is being
holly pursued by men and dogs in the
country southeast of Seattle and will
probably be slain or captured within
few hours. His pursuers. who have
with them two fine bloodhounds, are
only a short distance behind him.
Tracy made another extraordinary
escape from one of the posses after
him this afternoon. Word was re-
ceived at the sheriff's office that
Tracy had been at the house of
Mrs. Gerald near Renton for
five hours. Fifty armed men

they reached the place they scattered
and took possession so they could
watch the house to the best advantage.
The peculiar actions of Mrs. Gerald
convinced the men that Tracy was still
in the house. On the arrival of Sher-
if 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 previously, while the posse
was taking up positions to watch the
place, hid for few minutes in some
of the bushes, and then quietly slipped
away through the woods, toward Pal
mer.
The wonderful GOODNESS and daring
of the convict was never more fully
exemplifed than in this instance. In
the back yard of the Gerald home,
Anderson. the man whom Tracy had
kept a prisoner from the time he left
Port Madison, was found tied to a
tree. Tracy had tied Anderson while
the posse was in full view of the
house. 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 engag-
ed in the pursuit. including a posse
| which has taken the train for Palmer
to intercept Tracy in his flight toward

BRITAIN FEARS SUBSIDY.
The Shipping Combine and the
Means of Restoring Prestige of

in House of Lords.

means OF restoring Prestige Oh
British Merchant Marine Discussed
in House of Lords.
London, July S.-Lord Brassey Lib
eral, initiated a discussion on naval
matters in the House of Lords to-day.
He deplored the fact that Great Brit
ain had lost the place she once held
with her merchant marine. The ques-
ton of subsidies, he thought, must
depend on the action of the other
Powers. All the naval Powers of Eu-
rope gave liberal subsidies, while
President Roosevelt and ex-Secretary
Gage had recommended this policy. 1t
was contrary to British policy to fos-
ter industries by bounties or protec-
ton, but to pay for reserve of aux
Hilary vessels would certainly be to
the public advantage.
Lord Selbourne, the first lord of the
admiralty, in reply, referred to the
Atlantic shipping combine. He said
that it seemed to him that the balance
was one of disadvantage to the COM
bination because it necessarily placed
very large powers in the hands of a
few men. The government disclaimer
any sort of jealousy of the intention
of the Americans here. They had an
American marine of their own, and
they had a perfect right to full
share of the Atlantic trade. 1t was to
British interests that they should
have it. 1t would not be a British
monopoly. On the other hand, Great
Britain could not afford to see her.
self squeezed out of the At
lantic trade. The attitude of
the government, therefore, was not
one of hostility, but one of anxiety, and
not until they had formed a final opin-
ion of the whole question could they
wisely or fairly enter into agreements
with one party or the other. The ex-
pense of large subsidy policy was
so insidious that the substituting of cor
porations must be confined to a linn
tied number and for a special and def
mite purpose.

Deal With CoIombi for Acquisition
of Right of Way to BE Pushed to
Conclusion.
Washington, July S.-The State De-
partment has decided to press forward
toward completion the Colombian
treaty looking to the acquisition of
right OF way for the isthmian canal.
Secretary Hay has taken steps to have
the protocol submitted to the last ses>
sion of Congress put in the form of a
treaty and to have it signed formally
by accredited representatives of the
government of Colombia and of the
United States, so that the convention
may be laid before the Senate as soon
as it convenes in December. Thus the
State Department will remove, it is
expected any chance of having the
agreement already reached with Co
lombia disturbed by anything that may
occur as result of political
changes, for it is the purpose
to hold that such agreements.
once duly entered upon, are
not subject to reputation. even in the
event of a change of government. The
Senate found one or two points of OBJ
lection. ana while these are not mate
rial in the opinion of the department Of
ticials. in accordance with their usual
practice, they will seek to secure such
notifications as will meet these OBJ
jections.
No difficulty is expected to result In
securing an abatement of the old pro-
vision in the canal franchise requiring
the use of French material only in the
construction of the canal and the State
Department already has received an
assurance from the French government,
which it regards as meeting the OBJ
lection that had been made on that
score,
