WILL NOT RECOGNIZE UNION
Railway Officials and Freight Handlers
Fail to Agree,

CHICAGO, July 9.-At noon today indica-
tions were that the conferences arranged to
take place between the railroad and COM
mittees from their warehouses would fail
to bring about peace in the freight ham
dlers' strike.
Committees were appointed this morning
to confer with the managers or superin-
tendents of their respective roads. They
were not empowered however to make a
f1nal settlement, that being reserved for the
union as a whole. The Rock Island, the
Lake Shore, the st. Paul and the Monon
officials refused to treat with the men on
this basis. At the offices of each of these
roads propositions for a settlement were
made. but when the men said the matter
would have to be approved by the executive
committee of their union the managers de-
clared the conferences at An end The con-
ference between officials Of the Illinois Cen
trail and the strikers was still on at noon.
AS the railroads all along have insisted
that any settlement must be made with
their own men alone, it is thought that all
the other conferences now on will terminate
as have the ones mentioned.

A GRATIFYING RESPONSE.
The Powers Yield to Secretary Hays
Representations Regarding Tientsin.

Secretary Hays prompt action upon the
appeal of the Chinese government, through
Youn-Shi-kai and Minister WI, relative to
the evacuation of Tientsin has met with
success. The foreign generals who have
stood in the way of the evacuation will re-
ceive their instructions from their home
minor points remain to be adjusted, 1t is
believed that Tientsin will soon be turned
over to the Chinese authorities. Secretary
Hay, doubling whether anything could be
accomplished directly through the diplo-
mats at Pekin, though action there had
been contemplated, decided TO address him.
self directly TO the governments interested
in the Chinese question and maintaining
forces In Tientsin.
This was done through the American am
bassadors and ministers resident at the va
riouS European courts and Tokyo. Now
swers have been received from nearly all of
these. The latest to come to hand were
from France and Germany, arriving today
and quite Unexpectedly. They have all
proven to be favorabl to the United States
contention. The powers are agreed now to
instruct their generals at Tientsin to aban-
don the absurd condition sought to be i'm
posed precedent to evacuation, that,
save the small police force of 800 men, the
Chinese military forces must be kept at
distance of not less than thirty kilometers
from Tientsin. Although there Were some
other Objectionable features in the agree
ment which the generals required from the
Chinese, they were of comparatively little
Importance in the Chinese mind compared
to that condition to the position of the
Chinese troops, and that obstacle has
been removed a speedy conclusion is
pected OF the Tientsin negotiations.

Tracewel as to other departments. Today
Controller Tracewell had a conference with
j. l.; Feeney, Robert b. Barrett, w. H.
Kelly and M. w. Taylor, representing the
Bookbinders' Union, of the printing office,
who called to ask the controller what could
be done about employees of their establish
ment getting the same thing other gov
ernment employees. Controller Tracewen
stated to his visitors that he could not pass
upon the matter unless II came to him from
the public printer from a disbursing Off
Ger.
He suggested that the delegation have
the matter properly presented to him by
either Public Printer Palmer or the dis
be glad to pass upon the question which
has never been decided by him. Controller
Tracewell said today that he had no doubt
that Mr.. Palmer would have no objection
to officially presenting the question if the
employees of the office so desired. Mr..
Tracewell said that the government print
ing office works under different laws in
many instances from other government
establishments, but he did not know how
this would affect the question. and would
not be able to tell until the question was
presented TO him in such manner as to
enable him to pass upon 1t formally.
The committee that visited the controller
will probably confer with Mr.. Palmer or
with the diSbursing officer and request the
presentation of the matter to the cont roller.
Another discrimination against employees
of the printing office, or many of them at
least, is that they are not entitled to sick
leave, as in other branches of the service.
When an emplOye is sick he or she loses
the time unless it is taken out of the an
nual leave.

HOT ON TRACY'S TRAIL
POSSE STILL PURSUING THE ES-
CAPPED CONVICT.
Fugitive Threw Blcodhounds Off Their
Trail by Use of Cayenne
Pepper.

SEATTLE, Wash, July 9-The posse
with the hounds in pursuit of Tracy has
been working since O'Clock this morning
in the vicinity of Renton. The dogs have
SO far failed to take up the scent.
A Mr.. Senger, from Black River juno
ton, ten miles from here, said Tracy was
seen in hop drying house near there just
before o'clock. Hundreds of armed men
in the vicinity.
SEATTLE, Wash, July 9.-Harry Tracy,
the fugitive convict outlaw, has, for the
fourth time since his arrival at Meadow
Point, escaped from the officers. Tracy was
definitely located in the home of Charles
Gerrels, one mile north of the town of Rem
ton at o'clock yesterday afternoon. At
4:45 o'clock Deputy Sheriff Cook arrived
with a fraction of the posse and advanced
up the track toward the Gerrels' home.
Tracy stood in the rear of the premises
and overheard a conversation between one
of the woman inmates of the house aud two
young men from Renton, and then the con-
vict plunged into the brush and was lost to
view.
When Tracy disappeared from the Gerrels
home the bloodhounds were hastily brought
up from the rear and turned loose on the
not scent Both dogs struck the trail down
the stream following it for a quarter of
mile and crossing the track only to double
back and swim the river. Half way be
tween Cedar river and Burroughs boat
house, both dogs ran into cayenne pepper
sprlnkled in the outlaws S retreating foot
steps. Their nostrils We're filled with the
merry substance, and fully ten minutes were
lost in relieving the dogs, so that they
could again exercise their powers to smell.
Pressed to desperation, Tracy here made a
circuit, headed due north and plunged into
the outskirts of the lake, where he finally
succeeded in casting the scent 1t was then
dark and the guard returned to Renton with
the dogs.
News was received at the sherifr's office
yesterday that Tracy was at Rancher Ger
rels' house, below Renton on the Cedar
Mountain road
A little after 2 o'clock the seventeen-year-
old son of Rancher Gerrels arrived at the
sheriff's office with a gold and silver watch,
saying that Tracy had arrived at his IA
Tiers house at 1870 o'clock yesterday
morning, and after eating a hearty meal
had sent him to a neighbor's house with the
two watches, with instructions to try to
sell them. Tracy said if he were given
away he would kill the whole family, the
boy included The boy, knowing that it was
Tracy, concluded to bring the watches to
the sheriff's office hoping that the desper
ado would remain there until a searching
party could arrive. The watches answer
the description of those stolen from the
Johnsons. Young Gerres described Tracy
accura teIy, and the officers think that he is
trying to make the Palmer cutoff by the
Cedar Mountain road.
Johnson's white boat used by Tracy in
his escape from Port Madison, has been
found on the mud flats in South Seattle.
