HOT ON TRAIL
 OF EX-CONVICT Harry Tracy Pursued by
 1000 Men. FUGITIVE SHOWS NERVE Finally Compelled to Release His Prisoner. Tied Anderson to a Tree in Presence of Posse and Then Made His Escape-Bloodhounds Pursuing Him.
FUGITIVE SHOWS NERVE

Seattle, Wash. July s.-Harry Tracy. the fugitive 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 may be captured within few hours. His pursuers, who have with them two fine blood hounds, are only a short distance behind him.
 Tracy made another extraordinary escape this afternoon. Word was received at the sheriff's office that Tracy had been in the house of a Mrs. Gerald near Tren- ton for five hours. Fifty armed men at once hastened to the scene. When they reached the place they scattered and took position sc they could watch the house to the best advantage. The peculiar ac- tions of Mrs. Gerald convinced 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 previ- ous. while the posse were taking up their positions to watch the place. hid for a few minutes in some of the bushes. and then quietly slipped away through the wools towards Palmer.
 Tracy's Wonderful Nerve.
 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, tied to tree.
 Tracy had tied Anderson to the tree while the posse were in full view of the house before making his escape.
 The blood hounds were let loose on his trail. and are reported to be only 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.
 Some time between Sunday night and Monday night Tracy came to Seattle. The Johnson boat in which he left Fort Madison accompanied by the man Ander- son on Saturday night was found today with chain attached to 1t thrown over a boom of logs, in South Seattle.

AGREE TO ARBITRATE
FREIGHT HANDLERS STRIKE
 NEAR AN END.
RailroaS Managers Will Meet Com mitteeS from Their Own Elm ployes, But Will Hold No
 Conference with Union.

Chicago. July s.-Through the efforts of Chairman w. Job of the State Arbitra- tion Committee, a series of meetings has been arranged for 10 o'clock tomorrow morning between the general managers of each of the roads and a committee of five of the striking freight handlers from the same lines.
 Chairman Job went to each road sepa- rately and asked the general manager or he would receive committee of the strikers. In every instance he was in- formed that the committee would be re- ceived if 1t was understood that It came from the employees of the road and not from the freight handlers union. Then MT. Job reported to the men his success with the roads and secured their consent to the meetings.
 It was arranged that each committee should consist of five strikers. The con- 'ferences will be held at 10 a. m. These committees will not of themselves be em- powered to settle the strike and what ever the agreement may be, If any agree ment is reachd at the meetings, 1t will be reported back to the officials or the union for approval, and no action VIII he taken until 1t has the sanction of officers of the union.
 Chairman Job said tonight that ne thought he had inserted the entering wedge for the settlement of the strike.
 President Curran of the freight handlers issued the following statement tonight:
 .'We have offered to submit the issue to arbitration. 1 readily agreed to MT. Jobs suggestion and the committee will be appointed tomorrow morning. The report of these committees will decide the duration of the strike. feel assur- = ed. however, that the difficulty will be amicabley adjusted before tomorrow night"
 This evening inquiries of officials of the various railroads elicited the invariable statement that freight of all kinds was heinz handled with scarcely any delay. If was claimed by all that they had sut- 6cient men to do the work.

DEBATED BY LORDS.
Question of Subsidies for British
 Merchant Marine.

nCICA0hb 4a4NAA AAAS'
 London, July S-Lord Brassy QAberaD initiated a discussion on naval matters in the House of Lords today, during the course of which he deplored the fact that Great Britain had lost the place she once held with her mercantile marine
 The question of subsidies, he thought, must depend on the action of the other powers All the naval powers of Europe gave liberal subsidies while President Roosevelt and former Secretary Gage had recommended this policy. It was contra " to British policy to foster industries ty bounties or protection, but to pay for reserve of auxiliary vessels would cer- tainly be to the public advantage.
 Lord Selborne. the First Lord of the Admiralty. in the course of . reply. re- ferred to the Atlantic shipping combine. He said 1t seemed to him that the bal aEce was one of disadvantage to the or ganization because 1t necessarily placed very large powers in the hands of d few men. The government disclaimed any sort of jealousy of the Americans.
 They had an American marine of their own and they ha 1 a perfect right to full share of the Atlantic trade. It was to British interest that they should have it. It should not be an almost British monopoly. On the other hand, Great Bri- tain could not afford to see herself squeezed out of the Atlantic trade. The attitude of the government therefore was not one of hostility but of anxiety.
 It would never do to rely in time of war on merchant ships of other nations for the purpose of British carrying trade. Great Britain had fallen behind in ie- gard to vessels of high speed because she had not given heavy subsidies like other nations. The expense of so large a subsidy policy was so insidious that in his opinion the subsidzing of commercial interests should and must be confined to limited number and for a special and definite purpose.

KILLING WITH KINDNESS.
England's Scheme to Platter the
 Colonial Guests,

New York, July S.-The process of kill ing the colonial guests with kindness goes on without interruption, cables The Tribune's London correspondent.
 The Duke of Marlborough presided at one colonial banquet at the constitutional club and the imperial chapter of the Primerose league entertained another group of premiers and ministers.
 Mrs. Leopold de Rothschild gave large garden party for them at Gunnersbury Park. Sir Edmund Barton had an en- gagement for a speech at the meeting at the Mansion house, and Sir Gordon Sprigg and Premier Ross made addresses at the meeting of the British Empire league, over which the Duke of pevon- shire presided. While there Is an abun- dance of oratcry over the sentimental aspects of imperialism. there k lack of authoritative information respecting the business of the conference.
 Nobody has undertaken 10 explain Col oniaI Secretary Chamoerlain's views of steamship subsidies and preferential trade. vet the colonials do not dcnbt that he holds strong opinions on both 6Gih- tects. He is credited with a willingness to meet the colonials, perhaps half way, hut more generously than his colleagues, fin defending British shipping interests For preferential trade he Is a strong Sd- vocate. But he chooses phrases cautious ly. He is said to be willing to relax the colonies, if they in turn will lower their tariffs against England. The results of mutual preference he will be likely to explain as gains for free trad".
 There are optimists along the visiting statesmen who assert that Sir Michael Hicks. Beachs opposition may be over come if the line of least resistance be attacked and the duties actually in force are removed on both sides in the interest of less restricted commerce. 'Preferennal trade will in this way become freer trace between England and her colonies,

All the depart ments are in first class condition 10 un- dertake the construction of the ship. and little nreIiminarY work will be necessary.

MORGAN ADMIREs KAISER.
Money King Says German Ruler is a
 Great Man. t

New York, July s.-J. Pierpont Morgans arrival here caused a great stir, cables the Berlin correspondent of The Herald. When MT. Morgan accompanied by nis daughter, sauntered through Unter Den Linden, he was easily recognized by ms resemblance to the pictures and cartoons with which the German public nave been almost daily entertained.
 At one of the news stands MT. Morgan fingered long enough to see cartoon Of himself in Lustige Blatter, showing him lying at full length over a map of Amer ica and stretching out his hand to Eng land and Germany.
 Asked about his meeting with the Kali ser, Mir. Morgan said:
 II am very sorry. but l cannot say anything about the Kaiser. He was ex- ceedingly courteous to us. He's great man, for a fact
 Clement A. Griscom. who was with the party on board the Meteor. said:
 ''The Anglo-Saxon countries, the United States and Great Britain and Germany, are destined to rule the sea and com merce. Germany is growing nation. The Kaiser is fully acquainted with the relations between the Transatlantic Shipping Company, which Mir. Morgan has formed and the erman steamship companies. In fact, the Kaiser is &C., Quainted With all the detaiiS anu SiroWs d marvellous grasp of current affairs.
 While we were on board the Meteor. he assumed charge and directed like lifelong seaman. In fact, he would have led the Meteor in as winner of the first prize except for the large handicap given the boat.
 "The Kaiser sympathized with our ef- forts in doing away with unnecessary competition between the various trans Atlantic lines and effecting economy.
 .I have no doubt the Kaiser is becom- ing more and more popular. not only among his own people, but in other countries When Prince Henry visited the United States a member of the New York Yacht Club decided to make a re- turn by coming over to the meeting at KieL I am sure that the attendance of an increasing number of American yachts at Kiel Is now certain.
 ''The Kaiser expressed admiration for Mir. Morgan. I think he believes that the United States is good country to model after. There is no reason to fear rivalry either. between Germany and the United States from a commercial standpoint. All may work together for a common end"

 'Mr. Choate does not belong" said Mr. Dickinson. Ito my party or to my gov- ernnnent. but it Is very near the hearts of the Americans that he shall go from court of St James to the Presidential chain, and I wish he may get there"
 Mir. Dickinson eloquently voiced the sympathetic joy of the American people at the certainty of the recovery of the '1llustrious and beloved King of Eng land.''
 We rejoice.'' continued the speaker. l.. a with you in your griefs. That feeling has been expressed by no one more truly than by President Roosevelt, who is as close to the people of America as has been any President in the history of the republic"
 Mir. Dickinson compared President Roosevelt, amid the enthusiastic cheers of those present. to Sir Philip Sydney Sans Peur ct Sans Reproachc."

 He declared that America deeply syu1- pathized with Mir. Chamberlain in his recent accident and concluded by saying:

London Press Busy.

London, July S-The reference yester- day in parliament to the Morgan ship ping combine has set all the London pa . pers again to writing editorials on the shipping problem. Satisfaction is unani- mously expressed this morning that the Government is devoting itself to a con- sideration of the problem but consider able doubt is expressed whether J. Pier pont Morgan could offer guarantees sub stantial enough to justify the acceptance of his offer to place all the ships in the combine at the disposal of the admiralty for the next fifty years. Among the varied opinions as to the best methods of meeting the difficulties is the one ad- vanced by The Standard While object ing to the subsidy system. this paper ad- mits that 1t might become necessary to provide national funds in order to in- duce ship owners to build limited num- Der of valuable vessels, which otherwise would not be constructed at all.

ENGLISH COTTON CRISIS.
Short Supply and Big Discount in
 Price of Future Delivery.

London, July S.-TAe cotton crisis in Lancashire Is growing more acute and the trade regards a heavy reduction of the output as being it's only salvation. A meeting has been called for July 1lth to consider the replies to circulars advocat- ing joint action of the spinners in resort ing to short time as was done during the last two summers. The general opinion is that a courtailment of the production on even a more extensive scale than here tofore will be necessary to avoid heavy losses.
 President Charles McCars. of the Masters Federation, says the short sup ply of cotton and the big discount in the price of future delivery are the main causes for the crisis. He declares that spectators have secured possession of the raw material and that the firms run ming full time are playing into Aheir hands. The only hope for the Lam cashire cotton industry is for the trade to act unanimously.

SHIPS CREW MUTINY
RESENT MURDER OF SEAMAN
 BY FIRST MATE.
Eventfu1 Voyage of the Mary Stafford from Bluefields, Nicaragua, to Pensacola-Mate Placed
 in Irons.

Pensacola, July S.-A sensational story of mutiny and murder on the high seas is told by Captain Mcdonald of the Amer ican schooner Mary Sanford. which ar rived here after an eventful voyage from Bluefields, Nicaragua. During the voy- age one man was killed and the crew were in almost constant mutiny, clam orous for the blood of the man who murdered their ship-mate.
 The murderer First Mate Nicholson. was placed in jail soon after the arriv- al of the Sanford in this port.
 The Mary Sanford left Bluefields June 24 and when four days out A. G. Nichol- son, the first mate, killed Fred Reed. a negro West Indian seaman, because he did not perform some duty to suit the ideas of the mate. When Captain Mo Donald saw what had happened, he over powered Nicholson. took the pistol rem him and threw 1t overheard. The mate was then placed in irons and kept under strict guard until the vessel reached the Pensacola quarantine station. when the United States Marshals office was told of the murder on the high seas and Nicholson was brought here and locked up. He will be given a preliminary trial before United States Commissioner Fun ison.
 One of the officers stated that immedi- ately after the killing four West Indian seamen. countrymen of the dead man. openly resented the murder of Reed, and threatened to hang Nicholson from a yard arm. The captain, two mates and the steward were the only white men on the vessel, and the combined watchfuI- ness of the quartette prevented a marine session of Judge, Lynch's court.
 Reeds body was wrapped in sails and buried at sea, few miles from where the shooting occurred.
