FIFTY MEN ARE ON WATCH
FOR TRACY, ESCAPED MURDERER
He Has Not Been Seen Since Yester-
day Morning-Sherif Does -
Not Give Up.

Bothell, Wash, July 5.-Sheriff Cudihee
is here with thirty men lying in wait for
Tracy, the escaped murderer. He says
no one really knows where the convict Is,
but it is proba BILE he has doubled on his
tracks and come to Bothell. Cudihee is
guarding the roads and tracks leading to
kirkland ana he has cut off all chance Of
escape from the country between Wood
inville and Ravenna. His men are lying
in the forest in chilling rainstorm. -.
Since yesterday morning no one answer
ing the description Of Tracy has been re-
ported. sCudihee arrived in buggy with
Deputy Sheriff McLenna, Of Thurston
county, at $50 p. m. and Immediately In
creased the force OF guards. He sum-
med up the situation as follows: - - >
a"We really can't say positively where
Tracy is. We are not sure he is near
Bothell. The reports received, however,
made it imperative that we should patrol
this part Of the country with unceasing
vigilance. About fifty men are on watch
all the way from Woodland Park to Wood
inville. = ~ Il Pre-.

7hausted by his last flight across the coun-

him. We could not use the militia with
good effect.

and who drove ziCudihee in his pursuit
after Tracy to Fremont Thursday night,
saw man yesterday morning on the
country road who fully answered the de-
seription of Tracy.

friends and associates of Mr.. Lovejoy.
Mr.. Lovejey had been in i'll health
for many years. His life was pro-
almost by pure force of nerve and
will power. Yet through it all Mr. Love-
Joy was cheerful and indicated in nc way
until within the last three weeks that he
would have to give up. To the last he
had a smile for the members of the family
and was sunny and jdvial in his bearing.
Mr.. Lovejoy's rapid decline seemed to
date from an official trip to Washington
last April in the interests Of the en-
ployes and patrons of the postoffice. He
was i'll there and upon his return, while
at work, seemed to become easily
fatigued. Two weeks ago he found It
necessary to drive home for a few days,
on account of; the fatigue in ascending the
hill from the Kenwood car. He finally
remained at the house and then became
confined from weakness to- his room. The
nght against encroaching disease was
stubborn and Mr.. Lovejoy did not yield
until physical conditions compelled it.
After taking to his bed and UP to the. last
days he read the newspapers and took
great interest in daily events
Mr.. Lovejoy had travelled for his health.
He spent the winter, of 1898 in Arizona,
also that of 1900. He was greatly affected
by the untime1y death of his daughter
Edith in the summer of 1899. At that time

cles limiting to 800 the number Of Chinese
guards to be stationed at Tientsin within
the limit of thirty kilometers. Since the

to be willing to restore the city, but in real
ity they wish to delay; there is no reason
to fear that their action is not by: any means
for the public good. The foreign ministers
at Peking do not approve their action, and
they have repeatedly demonstrated with them
but the military officers have not been will
ing to come to an agreement. The ministers
and the military officers each hold to their
own opinions which greatly impede the prog
ress of our affairs. I request you. to ask
the government of the United States to con-
suit with the other governments so that in
structions may be sent to the different mill

to the suggestions of the foreign ministers te

east the statement was printed that the
convention had indorsed the presidents
plan. No one questioned the accuracy of
the statement. The accounts contained
what purported to be verbatim recital
of the Cuban plank.
Papers from Minneapolis yesterday and
to-day show that this published plank was
only the first sentence of the one adopted.
All qualifications, and modifying phrases
had been omitted. The plank as reported

representatives. the plank adopted was

The president has been interviewed and
has expressed his great pleasure at the
action of the Minnesota convention. When
he learns what it really did he may feel
differently. The eastern press, papers like
the New York Tribune, Philadelphia Press
and all the strongest supporters of the
administration policy, have edttorially
commented on the supposed action of the
| convention. Most of the membe rs Of the
Minnesota delegation left Washington for
home in a very resentful frame OF mind
at what they supposed had been done.
| They had been advised Of plank that
was presented to the convention and
which would be adopted and could not un-
dcrstand why it had been changed. The
eastern papers are now clamoring to know
how and why they were misled in this i'm

To Utilize the Morris Bill.
Secretary Hitchcock has started the

putting the provisions of the Morris Chip

at that time a controversy arose between
the department and the lumbermen. :
