Seattle, Wash, July 16.-The body of
Dave Merrill, who escaped from the
Oregon penitentiary in company with
Harry Tracy, has been found near
Poor Farm, Chahalis, where Tracy

EXPLAINED BY BRAGG.
Reported Reference to Cubans Modf-
fed by Consul GeneraI-Says State
ment Was Unwarranted.

Havana, July 16.-Consul General
Bragg says the publication of an al
legged statement by him in a letter to
his wife that 'Uncle Sam might as well
try to make a whistle out of a pigs
tail as to try to do anything with the
Cubans," was wholly unwarranted.
He has telegraphed to the state de-
partment that he was not accura tely
quoted.
What Gen. Bragg said was that when
Uncle Sam got through trying to make
a whistle of a pigs tail he would re-
port whether he could make an Anglo
Saxon out Of Cuban. What he wrote
was in a private personal letter to his
wife without expectation of it's pub
licat ton.
Washington, July 16.-Senor Quesa-
da, Cuban minister to the United
States, has called the attention of
President Palma to the reported ut
terances of Consul General Bragg and
asked for instruction. Until he re-
ceives this he will take no step in the
matter.
Havana, July 16.-It is positively
stated that the Cuban government will
take no action in the Consul Bragg in
cident. High officials are treating the
matter lightly.

Murphysboro, Ill, July 16.-One of

icated.
About two hours after the crime two
men were caught near the scene who
were thought to be the men. A mob
of Infatuated citizens had gathered,
and when the officers appeared with
the men the mob cried out for the lives
of the suspects. Coroner Krauer. act
ing sheriff, owing to the death of Sher-
if Fox, and other citizens succeeded
in taking the men to the county Jail.
but not until they had been frightfully
pounded and mutilated by the mob.

BREAK IN THE STRIKE.
Freight Handlers Make Agreements
with Railroads in Chicago
to Resume Work.

Chicago, July 16.-The great freight
tie-up has been broken, but not Off
cially called off by the unions. Mayor
threat to ask for military protection
for teamsters, has called conference
in his office for II o'clock to-day in
hope of bringing about a full settle
ment. Railroad men, business men
aud union representatives have been
invited to attend.
The chief of police admitted his in
ability to protect any large number
of teams and the merchants said they
were determined to split the deadlock
and take their goods to the roads that
are ready to handle freight.
Agreements were reached Tuesday
between four railroads and their en-
ployes, and the strike of the freight
handlers, and teamsters that has par
alyzedl the industries of the city for
a week practically came to an end. A
majority of the strikers probably will
return to work to-day, and by Thurs
day there will be few evidences of the
extensive struggle. Some of the more
radical unionists may refuse to &C
cept the terms accepted by represent
ative committees, but they will be able
to WELD little influence with their fell
lows.
While these symptoms, hopeful Of
peace in the labor troubles, of the city,
were being exhibited, President Cur
ran, of the freight handlers, was in
spired with new courage to declare
these various settlements unwarrant-
ed. He announced that none of the
committees was authorized to accept
these agreements, and that the men
would not return to work.
The four railroads that entered into
agreements with their men are: Lake
& Northwestern, Nickel Plate and IL
linois Central. The Northwestern and
the Illinois Central accepted the prop
osition made upon advice of the team
sters' board of arbitration and the
Nickel Plate and Lake Shore forced
their men to sign the scale presented
by the railroads July 1.
consequently neither the Irelgnu
handlers nor the railroads can claim
the victory. AS the employees of the
Lake Shore we're the first to sign, how
ever, the railroad managers express
the greatest satisfaction over the
break in the strike
They have forced the freight hand
lers to return to work without having
obtained recognition for their union
Or time and half for overtime or
the adjustment of the probation
period. On the other hand, the freight
handlers have obtained increases in
pay, the smallest increase being 25
cents a day given to the truckers
