 They are still talking railroad down at Flagstaff. You may call Williams selfish, but we guess we'll have to have another one.
 The kodak was much in evidence among our eastern visitors the past week. Williams will certainly get good advertising by the great Grand Canyon travel.

 Prescott is in high spirits over the rehabilitation of Whipple bar racks. Possibly some of the sol diers will soon be in high spirits down on "Whisky Row"

PRESIDENT MITCHELL
BREAKS HIS SILENCE

Wilkes barre, Pa, July n.-For the
first time since the mine workers de-
cided to hold a national convention,
President Mitchell today consented TO
say something for publication about the
gathering. He said il was utterly i'm
possible to forecast the action of the
convention From his remarks it is al
most certain the convention Will do one
of only two things-either decide on i
general suspension or provide a de-
Tense fund for the anthracite miners.
In an interview with the correspond
ent of the Associated Press, President
Mitchell said that no person could,
with any degree of certainty, predict
the outcome of the national convention
which will convene at Indianapolis
next Thursday.
Il fell certain" he said, that in the
event of it being inadvisable TO in
augurate a national strike, provision
win be made to cotribute ample
funds to carry the strike on to certain
victory The sympathy of the entire
labor world is with the anthracite min
ers, and from all sections of our coun-
try we are receiving assurances of
financial and moral support
These assurances are not confined
TO Wage-earners alone Many men and
women have offered financial assist
ance to the struggling miners, and /
feel confident that the strike Will prove
a success regardless of whether a ma
IiOnal strike takes place.

OFFERED TO DROP CASE
Attorneys For Gaynor and Greene
Say Merwin Proposed a
Compromise.

Quebec, July 1.-THE proceedings in the
Gaynor-Greeu cases today were of very
little interest as regards the case itself
In referring 10 the reports sent to Attor-
ney General Knox by Mr.. Merwin. Mr.
Tasehereau strongly protested against the
remarks that were made by Mr.. Merwiri
respecting the judiciary in this province
and considered il an act of effroutery
he had something interesting 10 tell him.
but hoped that counsel for the prosecution
would do SO.
He was quite surprised. he said. that in
his report Mr. Merwin had not Informed
the United States authorities that he had
made an offer 10 the prisoners to drop
the case il the latter would paw over
10000 TO the United States government
This offer, Mr.. TaSchereau said was
made in the Windsor hotel. Montreal on
the Saturday following the arrest of
Gaynor and Greene
Messrs- McMaster and Dandurand PRO
tested against Mr. TaSchereaU'S remarks
regarding Merwins report and said the
latter had not reflected on the judges but
on the contrary expressed high apDrecia-
ton of them. They did not believe that
Mr. Merwin made such an offer 10 the
accused
Mr. McMaSter then presented a motion
to quash the habeas corpus writs issued
on June 20 and y by Judge Caron- COun-
sci for the accused asked for delay TO
Tuesday next TO reply This delay was
granted and counsel for the prosecution
was given until Friday next TO answer
the replies of counsel for the defense.
Mr. Taschereau also moved that judge
Caron fix a day for a hearing on the
merits of the case. but the judge re-
marked that the motions 10 ouaSh the
writs OF habeas eoFpus had precedence

RIVERS HAVE BECOME
RAGING TORRENTS

Topeka. Kan, July 11.-Specials from
Manhattan say the water as now
twelve feet high on the Union Pacific
tracks there. The railroad bridge over
the Blue river is covered TO a depth
of five feet. and the water is rapidly
rising. William r. Hickey, a so;6ier in
the Eighth cavalry, from Fort Riley,
was drowned there early this evening.
All the trains are blockaGed.
The Kansas river here has been
steadily rising, and has now reached
its highest point. The gauge shows
over fifteen feet higher than the low
water mark. a number of families
have been obliged TO leave their
houses. The water has overlooked sew
eral hundred acres of corn north of
the city, and will damage il consid-
erably.
The Santa Fe has been having trou-
BILE with trains between here and Kan
sas City. Some OF the track is under
water, but it is passable at low rae
OF speed. The Rock Island announces
that all trains are now running The
track has been so badly damaged,
however. that it will take two months
for the necessary repairs to be made
At Manhattan the Blue river is
twenty-five feet above the low water
mark and the bridge is in great Gan
ger. At Lawrence the water has over
flowed the dam in the Kansas rive
but will do no damage

HUNDREDS HOMELESS
Flood Sufferers of Des Monies
Sleeping in the City
Parks.

Des Moines, Ia, July 10.-This city
is in the midst OF the most disastrous
flood since 1851, when the river was
six feet deep over what is now occu-
pied by thousands of residences. bust
ness houses and factories. At 20 o'clock
the DeS Moines river ceased to rise,
and by noon had receded three inches.
The Raccoon river, however, continued
to rise and invaded the factory dis
trict. Nothing but the roofs of the
Keith furnace factory and the McCor-
mick Manufacturing company are WISH
BILE. Thousands of dollars worth of
machinery in these places were de-
stroyed.
Hundreds of homeless food sufferers
spent the. night in school house yards
and in downtown parks without so
much as a blanket to cover them.
Some had to beg for food, although
every possible effort is being taken to
provide for them.
The charitable societies and city Of
ficials are becoming better organized
today, and it is believed the wants will
piaai and the city hall and Jail have
been filed with cots. These can &C
commodate but a small portion of those
who need shelter, however, and there
by are being distributed. 1t is be-
lieVed the situation in the flooded dis
trict cannot be materially relieved for
several days, and that when the water
finally reaches its former channel an
epidemic of malaria and typhoid fever
will prevail
An estimate of the damage at this
time is practically impossible. 1t is
expected to reach 81. 000, 600.

TRACY PROBABLY WOUNDED
Posse Members Run Upon Murderer Dead NghtSteen
Shots observation-disclosures Fail to Locate Fugives
TraiI-Many Contradictory Reports

q EATTLE. Wash. July 11.-Blood-
y hounds and scores of deputy
sheriffs were unable to stir Out
law Tracy from concealment in the
brush near Covington today. Because
of the midnight battle last night, the
posse were sure of the convict's where
abouts. A Gordon of experienced
marksmen encircled this place earlier
in the evening, and there seemed no
possible avenue of escape for the fugi-
tive without a fight. Hounds were
started on the trail early this morning
and were worked in every direction to
day, but without success Darkness
fell with less encouragement for the
hunters than We're the conditions of
Wednesday evening
Every kind of a rumor was received
from the scene of the sheriffs deputies,
search today. At one time the report
was started that a battle had been
fought, resulting in the death of seven
deputies and the wounding of the con-
Wet. Diligent search for the source
of this rumor met with failure 1t is
believed to be absolutely groundless,
Yet it cannot be branded so until every
part of the pursuing crowd has been
heard from. The nature of the country
through which the chase is being led
would make IL possible for battle to
be fought in one of the ravines and lit
tie be heard of it in the neighboring
towns for many hours.
At dawn this morning sheriffs and

deputies of several counties aking

ington. started for the country inme-
diately adjoining the place where
Tracy was fired upon by four guards
last night. Every part of the district
for several miles around was careful
~ gone over by the men. who *
pected at any moment TO hear the roar
of the conVlet's Winchester. The willy
fugitive, however, was not to be found
nor was there trace of him. The
description of last nights battle, given
by the deputies today has brought out
the belief that Tracy was possibly
wounded in the ARRAY.
1t appears that the convict was
wiihin but a very few feet when he
was challenged by the guards. He
jumped into the brush at the sound
of the voices. but could have gone but
a very short distance before the six
teen shots were fired from the rifles
All the deputies who engaged in this
encounter are good marksmen and
though but an indefinite idea of the
is thought that at least one of the
rifle balls must have found se1e mark
If it does develop that the fugitive
Was wounded. this will add largely to
the chances of his early capture Dad
ing the nerVe-racking and bOdy-break7
ing chase that he is and having no
chance to properly treat his wound.
Tracy's craftineSS would be of little
use without the physical ability 50
carry out his plans.

teamster to get a los TO any depot
Without being stopped J. @. Klein, Il
driver for the Acme Flexible Clasp
company was stopped at the intersec-
ton of Sixteenth and Clark streets
this afternoon by a crowd of pickets.
They boarded his wagon, and find
ing that he had a load of freight con-
signed to the Erie road. the strikers
pulled him from the wagon and beat
him badly. A driver OF van belong
ing TO the Livingston company left
the Pennsylvania station with a load
of household furniture, and within the
distance of square was knocked
from his wagon with a paving stone
hurled by a man who had followed
him from the freight house. A driver
of the Kennedy Biscuit company was
badly pounded by a group of men just
after he had come from the yards OF
the Burlington road.
There We're numerous other assaults
which the police were unable 10 pre-
vent. The strikers had determined TO
make an extra strong effort in the
neighborhOod of South Water street.
where many commission houses are
located. but they accomplished very
little there throughout the day.
The police would not permit a
striker to stop q team or raise his
hand to stop one If the conferences
between the general managers and the
strikers shall not lead TO the settle
ment of the strike, it is a practical
certainty that all the members of the
Transfers union Will go out.
The drivers for the commission
houses on South Water street in
formed their employers today that
they would handle goods for the Lake
lines and for the express companies,
but they would not after tomorrow
deliver anything 10 the freight houses
or haul anything away from them.
This means. according TO the commits
sion men, that $780, 900 worth of prod
Uce which will arrive tomorrow morn
ing will be allowed to spoil unless the
strike shall be settled before noon
The commission men have determined
to divert as much as possible Of their
supplies to the express companies at
outlying stations. This VIII mean an
/ immediate increase of p per cent in
the price of all vegetables, as express
charges viii be added to the usual
cost of freight
Prices on the street were about the
same as yesterday, sufficient vegeta-
bles having been handled TO supply
the demand today A few men were
employed by the railroads during the
/ day. seventy-one returning TO the Hi
nois Central as a result Of the agree
ment reached between the officials and
! freight handlers of that road yester-
/ day.

action of the Chicago board of aTbi-
] tratiOn, and the three propositions

Teamsters Threaten to Walk Out if Roads Do Not
Accept Terms Offered.
Freight Handlers Would Not Allow Deliveries Be Made at
Depots-Commisson Men Lose Heavily

CHICAGO, July n.-Mutual conces-
sions of the freight handlers and
by the railroads have paved the
way for conferences between the man
ayers and their employees, which. it is
hoped. Will lead to settlement of the
freight handlers strike These con-
ferenees, which will be the result of the
Chicago board of al bitration, will be
held tomorrow morning in the offices of
the respective general managers. After
working all day, the board of arbitra-
ton made the following recommended
ton, which has been accepted by both
sides:
That a committee of five. four of
whom must be employees OF their re-
spective railroads and having full pow
er to act, meet with the proper officers
of the said railroads during the fore
noon of Saturday, July II, to settle the
existing differences between the rail-
roads and the freight handlers"
While not so expressed in the recon-
mendation, il is understood by all par
ties that the fifth member of each COM
mittee is to be member of the ex-
ecutive committee of the freight han
dlers. President CurTan of the freight
handlers has from the first vehementIy
opposed the meeting of the employees
of any of the roads with the road Of
ficials, unless an officer of the union
should be with them.
The railroads have insisted that they
were ready at all times to listen to the
demands of their employees, but would
not transact the business through the
third party The agreement reached
tonight Is, therefore, d slight concession
on both sides. After receiving the con-
sent of the freight handlers, the mem
bers of the arbitration board prepared
the following list of demands for the
men TO present the railroads tomorrow
morning. In drawing them up they
said they We're assured that they would
be acceptable to the railroads.
The general managers said that they
had not been consulted about the list
of demands to be presented in the
morning, but added that they would
meet the men and use every possible
means to reach a settlement. The de-
mands of the men will be as follows:
Abolition of the time of probation for
new men.
All freight handlers to receive full
pay from the start
Eighteen cents an hour for truckmen,
(the railroads offer II cents), time and
one-half for overtime.
1t was stated by one of the high Of
ficials of the union that the last de-
mand would not be made an insupera-
bic object OF the settlement of the
strike. If the roads shall make a strong
fight upon ii, the men viii give way on
this point On the first two PROPOSE
tions, however, the men Will not sur
/ render.
