ANTHRACITE CONSERVATION.
President Roosevelt Wants to know NH
q Trust

New York, July 2.-President Roose-
velt has requested Attorney General
Knox to submit an opinion, says
Washington dispatch to the World, az
to whether the combination controlling
the anthracite coal output constitutes q
trust within the meaning Of the sher-
man antitrust act and the decision Of
the United States supreme court there
on. In making this request the presi-
dent gave Attorney General Knox the
report recently prepared by Carroll d.
Wright, commissioner Of labor, after q
careful investigation Of the differences
existing between the coal operators and
the miners, the facts forwarded by
President Mitchell, Of the United Nine
workers Of America and all other data
in his possession bearing on the subject.
It will be the duty Of Attorney Gen.
eral Knox to formulate an opinion for
the president, making definite decIa
ration that the anthracite combination
does or does not constitute trust. HE
present instructions did not require
him to go further and express an
opinion as to the probability OF suecesa-
ful prosecution under the Sherman anti
trust act.
The president will, it is believed, de-
termine on his subsequent line of action
after Attorney General Knox has rem
dered his opinion.

PACIFIC CABLE PROPOSAL.
Offer to Hasten Construction oi Line Being
Considered by Cabinet.

Washington, July o. Secretary
Moody has laid before the cabinet the
proposition of the Commercial Pacific
Cable company to hasten the construc-
tion of their cable across the Pacific,
and offering important advantages to-
the government in return for the use of
the surveys made by the United States
steamer Nero for cable route connect
ing San Francisco, Honolulu, Midway,
island, Guam and Manila.
The officials oil the company state
that they are asking for these plans
solely in the name of their own COM
pany, and that no other cable company,
domestic or foreign, has Joined in the
application. The navy department is
earnestly desirous, for military reasons,
that the cable shall be laid as soon as
possible, as certain safeguards are de-
sired, and these formd the basis of the
discussion before the cabinet today.
1t is regarded as essential that the
route shall be all-American, point
which will be secured by the use Of
Midway island as q relay station, and q
provision be made to avoid touching on
foreign soil between the terminals.
Another point was that the United
States government shall have preferen-
tial rates and time of transmission for
its messages, and have the sole right,
in its discretion, to use the cable in
time of war.
The subject was regarded as too inn
portant for an immediate decision, and
it is probable that before the company's
application is finally acted upon. it will
be referred to the attorney general.

having found General Smith guilty of

fenced him to be reprimanded by the

case, is President Roosevelt. Inas-
much as the case is considered strictly
confidential until finally acted upon by
the president, it is impossible to obtain

Seattle, July 3.--Tracy and Merrill,
the escaped Oregon convicts, have sep

seriee Of thrilling incidents. He robbed
the house Of an aged scotehman named
Alexander Laird. who lives alone four
miles southwest Of Olympia, left Laird
bound hand and foot on the bed, stole
horse from another rancher and sad
die and bride from neighbor. Tracy
passed through Olympia and reached
the upper end Of South bay.
At South bay the Capital City Oyster
company has four men at work seeding
oyster beds. Two Of the men were in
small cottage and when they arose at S
Tracy was at the door with his rifle
demanding breakfast. When two
other men, who were staying in float
house, arrived for breakfast they were
also lined up. Anchored in the bay
was the large gasoline launch N. K S.,
chartered by the oyster company to tow
oyster scoWs from Big Skookum inlet.
On board we're Captain CLARK and his
son, who were also lined up when they
arrived for breakfast.
When breakfast was over two Of the
men were left tied in the cabin, and at
the point OF the rifle the other two
men, with the captain and son, were
driven on board the launch and the
party sailed away. Tracy told his
eaptiyes that be had k:aisd Merrill be-
cause he discovered the latter had
played him false and because Merrill
was careless and made too much noise
in the woods.
Tracy's story Of the killing Of Mer-
riil is that while in the vicinity OF
Castle Rock Tracy learned that Merrill
was responsible for his getting into the
Oregon penitentiary. Merrill was a
hindrance in the fight anyway, he
said. He was careless and left a trail
like log, so Tracy resolved to pick a
quarrel with him. In this be succeed
ed, and the two agreed to fight out their
differences in an open spot. Standing
back to back, il was agreed that each

lard. The last seen of him he was
headed for Seattle with the express in
tention of holding up policeman in
order to secure his revolver. A posse
was organized by the local police, and
is now in pursuit of the daring criminal.
The voyage to Seattle from Thurston
county was marked by several exciting
episodes. Tracy wanted the boat
steered near McNeill island so that he
might take shot at any of the guards
who happened to be on the beach. He
also wanted to kill the captain of the
tug Seafoam near the entrance to Ta-
coma harbor, because the tug persisted
in heading toward the launch.
Tracy had 200 rounds of ammunition
when he boarded the launch at Olym-
pia. .

New York, July 2.-Actual and pros

sumed such proportions since the term
ination of the Anglo-Boer war that two
steamship companies have inauguated
service between this city and South
African points. 1t is the intention of
the agents to maintain bi-weekly

carrying trade between this port and
South Africa has been in the hands Of
a combination consisting OF three lines.
The new service has already resulted

country every day, and also largely for
