AID FOR THE MINERS
A National Defense Fund Is Proposed
at Wilkesbarrc.

>.Wilkesbarre, Pa, July "a national
defense fund, to which all orga nized Ia
Dor and the public In general will be
asked to contribute, is the latest propo-
sition advanced to help the striking an
thracite coal miners, if they need as
sistance in their struggle for higher
wages and shorter working day
The plan, which has the approval Of
President Samuel Gompers, will -
placed before the executive board of the
American Federation Of Labor for in
dorsement> at It's sessions in San Fran
cisco next week. ~
The plan, in brief, contemplates the
concentration Of the energy and re-
sources of organized labor in behalf of
the miners cause, result which has
never before been accomplished.
Fortified by the possibility of 100000 a
week for the striking miners, President
Mitchell is far more cheerful than when
he returned from New York At that
time, If ever man was respondent and
gloomy, that man was John Mitchell.
Later In the day he had long conference
with President Henry White, secretary of
the Garment Workers union, who came
here from New York. Mr.. White said
that the American Federation of Labor
was ready, whenever the miners wanted
aid, to assess it's members 81 week.
There are about 100000 members.

HAsSTATE's CASE FAILED?
EVIDENCE AGAINST ABBY ALL IN
Judge Denied Motion to Dismiss
and the Jury Will Pass Upon
Evidence.

Special to The Journal.
Litchf1eld, Mimi, July 9.-The state has
not made much Of case against Frank
Addy, charged with the murder on
and Mrs. Milton Gorton. So much of the
evidence was In the nature OF a repetition
that short work was made Of the wit
nesses and the state rested this forenoon.
noon 1Ftlst 81 $50 @gE, * 3 III ~
The state has not shown as clearly as
hoped that the Goa I, hidden under some
wood In the back yard OF the Gorton
home, belonged to Addy. There is a
strong presumption that Addy wore the
coat and that someone was at good deal
Of trouble to hide it, But the state has
not proven this beyond a shadow Of doubt.
Much evidence has been taken bearing
on the manner and speech Of ;Addy since
the tragedy, of which he alone survives.
Some boys testified that while loafing
about the jail, where Addy was kept, they
heard him say that if he was sent to the
penitentiary. others would L have to 60
with him. ~ ..s:S KS s f%Esl<-1.z p q
When the state closed the defense
moved for dismissal. The Judge denied
the motion and the trial is proceeding
this afternoon. Addy will be sworn, it is
expected. Gzf@ z%.t

HIS FOURTH ESCAPE

House. e&5s:sESS51@-.zs

Seattle, Wash, July 9.-Harry Tracey,
the fugitive convict outlaw, has for the
fourth time since his arrival at Meadow
Point escaped from the officers. Tracey
was definitely located in the home of
Charles Gerrels, one mile north OF the
town of Renton, at z o'clock yesterday
afternoon. - 80 -. -
At 4:45 O'Clock Deputy Sheriff Cook ar
rived with a fraction of the posse and ad-
avnced up the track toward Gerrels' home.
Tracey stood on the rear OF the premises
and overheard conversation between
one of the women inmates Of the house
and two young men from Renton.< Then
the convict plunged into the brush sand
was lost to view. @i ~
When Tracey disappeared from the Ger
rels home the bloodhounds were hastily
brought up from the rear and turned on
the hot scent. Both dogs struck the trail
down the stream, following it for quar-
ter of mile and crossing the track.
Half way between, Cedar river and Bur-
roughs' boathouse both dogs ran into
cayenne pepper sprinkled2 in the outlaws
retreating footsteps. Their nostrils were
filed with the fiery substance and fully
ten minutes were lost in relieving the
dogs so that they could again exercise
their powers of smell.
Pressed to desperation, Tracey made a
circuit, going to the north and plunged
into the outskirts of the lake where he
finally evaded search. It was now dark
and Guard Carson returned to Renton.
In the back yard Of the Gerrels home,
tied to a tree, was found John Anderson,
the man that Tracey had kept prisoner
from the time he left Port Madison.
Tracey had tied Anderson to a tree while
the posse were in full view Of the house.
John Anderson last night related his
experiences since the night he left Port
Madison in Johnson's white boat until
his rescue at the Gerrels house. From
his story it is evident that Tracey has ae-
completes who are lending him material
assistance in his flight through the coun-

FREIGHT. HANDLERS
State Board of Arbitration May Set
tie Their Strike.

.
Chicago, July 9.-It is hoped, with con-
siderable assurance Of consummation, that
the freight handlers strike, which has al
most paralyzed railroad shipping since
Monday, will be called off to might.
Pursuant to the plan laid out by the
state board of arbitration yesterday, and
accept ed by the parties to the contro-
versy, meeting Of the: strikers was held
this merning for the purpose Of appoint
ing committees from the various roads to
visit the officials of their respective roads.
1t is believed. these commit tees and the
railroad managers swdll be able to COM
promise, as their views on the wage ques-
ton have been very nearly similar. These
committees, however,gare not empowered
to accept finally any compromise The
plans hit upon at-the various conferences
will be submitted to a general meeting Of
the union scheduled for two o'clock this

A BITTER PILL
England Does Not Like to Depe% IN
Morgan for Cruisers.

New York, July 9.-There was consid
cradle speculation in the house of COM
mons lobby with regard to J. Pierpont
Morgan's offer to the British admiralty,
cables the London correspondent of the
Tribune. Arnold Forester stated definite
ly that Mr. Morgan had offered to place
certain vessels at the disposal of the
admiralty for the next fifty years, but
he declined to communicate the details to
the house. Mr.. Pirrie, when ques-
toned the other day on this topic by the
steamship subsidies committee, simply
shrugged his shoulders, BUTT is clear from
the admiralty secretary's statement that
che proposal is now under consideration,
and as it has not been promptly declined
some members of the committee are con-
WINGED that its terms must be of a
convincing nature. At the same time
they consider it beneath the dignity of
the greatest sea power to the world to be
dependent upon another nation for
erllisers.

Specials to The Journal, ">,'<
Bismarck, N. D., July 9.-The North Da-
kota' section of the government weather
bureau makes the following report:
Slightly warmer weather during the past
week, with light scattered showers, has had
a very beneficial effect on vegetation of all
kinds. Small grain continues in excellent
condition, while other crops have been i'm
proved by the warm sunlight.
A few hail storms occurred at widely sep
arated places, but did no damage except in
western Cass county. Wheat still maintains
it's excellent condition in all sections and
that sown early is heading fast. It has not
met with any setback SO far this season, and
its general standing could not be improved
much. Early sown oats are also heading out,
and the crop is In perfect condition. i.
Flax, while generally in good condition, is
very uneven; some of it Is just coming up,
while some is in blossom. Owing to its being
sown later 1t is very weedy. and in some
sections the crop is being killed by noxfous
! vegetation. Milet is still being sown as
late forage crop. Barley is doing we'll, and
early rye is headed out
Corn uis still backward and will require
great deal of warm weather to bring 1t up
! with the season. While it has been bene-
flied more than anything else by the recent
warm weather, still it's condition is not at all
| promising.
The hay crop will be as large as ever put
up in the state. Haying will commence IN some
localities this week, but will not be general
| until the latter part Of the month
Grasshoppers are numerous, and are salo
| to have done some damage to late flax.
Aberdeen, S. D., July 9.-During: Sun
day night and Monday general rain pre-
vailed over South Dakota, the average
precipitation for the north half OF the
state being about one inch. IN Aoer-
deem the fall was little more than this
| amount.
Lincoln, Neb, July e.-soaking rains
fell all over the state last night and this
morning The crop damage and property
loss are heavy, and the situation in many
localities is becoming grave.
Morris, Mimi, July 9.-More rain has
fallen in Stevens county the past three
or four days than has been reeded. An
| other storm visited this vicinity yester-
day, but was followed in the afternoon
and evening by cool weather and slight
| winds, that will hinder much damage be-
/ ing done. So far the crop outlook Is the
best known Barley Is headed out ana

| also heading; oats and fax are growing
! SO fast it can almost be noticed, and corn,

wahpeton, N. B., July a.-The crop
prospect is probably fully as good as in
1895, the year commonly referred to as
! the best in the county. Notwithstanding
the unusually cold June, corn has done
we'll, and no frost at all has harmed
plants Wind has caused some lodging
over small areas. Grains are about as far
along as usuar, heading having become
common since the first OF the month.

The fastest daily mail SER
vice ever attempted between
New York and Eastern cities
and st. Louis and Western
points is provided for in ar
rangements made by thePost-
office Department effective
next Sunday. The contract
calls for a daily schedule 234
hours between New York
and st. Louis over the Penn
sylvania railroad. Beginning
Sunday, a fast mail train will
leave New York at 2::45 am.
daily and arrive at st. Louis
at 2:15 Monday morning.
This shortens the present
schedule between New York
and st. Louis by about eight
hours and practically means
a gain of a day for Eastern
mails bound to far Western
points and the Southwest.

A WarShip Built of Relics.

Captain James d. Sinclair,
of Springfield, ILL.,, a veteran
sailor, has designed a model
of the battleship Maine. 1t
is entirely constructed from
relics of the life of Lincoln.
Most Of the woodwork is TAX
en- from the bedroom floor in
the house occupied by the
martyred president during his
residence in Springfield. 9th
er parts are from a tree which
Lincoln planted. The iron
work is constructed out of the
lighting rods taken from the
homestead. The flags were
worked from the silk of one
of Mrs. Lincoln's dresses. All
Of the members of the crew
were carved out of the Lin
coin tree. The scene repre-
sents the battle ship at anchor
adjacent to MORO Castle, at
the entrance to Havana har-
Dor, where the explosion oc=

Wealth from Tomatoes.

A special to the Commercial APP.
peal from Humboldt, dated July l,
says: The tomato season is now on
in good shape in this section and
the farmers are as busy as bees.
The shipments from the territory
within a radius of six miles of this
place aggregated something more
than fifty cars yesterday, and still
the crops ripen very fast. Some
idea of the immensely of yester-
days shipments may be cleaned
from the fact that they amounted
to three train loads. About 1000
cases are packed to the car, making
a total of about 3d. crates that
left here yesterday. These cases
brought from 40 to so cents each
on the platform, turning loose
something like $4,000 to $25, 900.
The prices are not so good as they
were two or three days ago, but are
fairly satisfactory and profitable to
the growers. 1t is thought by con-
sentative estimates that about 800
cars will leave this territory "a Sec
ton less than ten miles square, this
week. These cars will net to this
platform very nearly $3.50, 900.
