A MORGAN VICTORY.
Relief That Admiralty Has Accepted
Ship Combines Oner.

London, Aug. 7.-Replying in the
house of commons to a request of Lord
Charles BeresfQrd for assurance that
no binding agreement would be con-
Guided between the government and
the shipping combination without the
reement being approved by parlia-
mt, the premier, A. J. Balfour, said:
L do not think it possible to negoti-
.. e on this or any other subject if the
proposed terms are to be publicly dis
cuSsed before the government has
agreed to them. The government, how
ever, is most anxious to take the house
into its confidence at the earliest pos
sible moment"
Mr.. Balfour's reply has particular in
terest, as Belfast dispatches announce
that the government has accepted j.
Pierpont MOrgan's offer to give the adj
miralty claim on all the combines
ships. AS evidence of the acceptance
it is stated that the government has
chartered the Corinthic, the first ship
built for the combine, which has just
been completed at the Harland-Wolf
shipyards.
Inquiries made during the day show
that belief is general that ]. Pierpont
Morgan's offer practically has been ac-
cepted. The Belfast dispatch may
slightly anticipate the technicalities re-
quired to close the agreement OF may
not allow for changes inserted since
the offer was originally made, but
there appears to be little doubt that
the spirit of the scheme is acceptable
to the cabinet. j. F. Morgan Il Co.
when asked concerning the reported
agreement adopted the same noncom-
initial attitude as the premier, Mr. Bal
four, in the house of commons.
The question of organizing an Aus
tralian-Canadian shipping combine for
a service between Canada, England,
Australia and South Africa to compete
with the American combine organized
by j. Pierpont Morgan has again been
the subject of a prolonged conference
between the Australian premiers and
Sir Wilfrid Laurier and other Cana
dian ministers. No definite conclusion,
it appears, has been reached concern
ing the project.

FRIAR QUESTION DEBATED.
Views of Delegates to Catholic Con
Vention at Chicago.

VentiOn at Chicago.
Chicago, Aug. 7-Confidence in the
administration to do the right thing in
the matter of the Spanish friars' lands
in the Philippines and as to education
in the insular possessions was the
tenor of the discussion at the session
of the convention of the American
Federation of Catholic Societies.
The resolutions on the Philippines
We're discussed by a number of promi-
nent clerical and lay delegates, in par
ticular by Father O'Reilly, the Angus
tinian friar who called upon President
Roosevelt some time ago as a repre-
sentative of the order to lay the Cath
Ollie view of the QUESTION before him.
Bishops Messmer and McFaul and Al
phonse Koeble of New York also adj
dressed the convention on the question.
Father OReilly said he thought he
voiced the sentiment of the convention
when he said that it was the place of
the federation to enlighten the govern
ment as to the true situation in the
Philippines. Men, he said, whose duty
it was to inform the administration
lmpaftally had been Dllnd TO true con-
ditions. Once inform the president and
the department of state he said, and
there could be no possible doubt that
federal officials could cooperate with
the Vatican without friction to the
amicable settlement of the controversy
After further discussion a resolution
on the Philippines question embodying
words of sympathy and support for
the friars, confidence in the United
States government and respect for its
attitude toward Catholic questions and
condemnation of the unfavorable re-
ports circulated about the friars was
passed.
The convention decided not to send
delegates to the Catholic antisaloon
convention at Washington on Dec. 8,
but passed resolutions indorsing tenn

SEQUEL TO BIG CRASH
Summons Out For Whitaker Wright,
England's Noted Promoter.
BROKERS' URGE PROSECUTION
1t Is Now Estimated That by the
London and Globe COmpany's
Failure the Public Lost
$1OO,OO0,OOO.

| London, Aug. THE official receiver
announces that he has issued sum
| monses against Whitaker Wright and
| Robert Leman to recover $750,O00 in
connection with share transactions be-
| tween the British-Americgn corpora
ton and the failed London and Globe
Financial corporation, limited. In the
same report the receiver says that for
the present it is not proposed to prose
cute the directors of the London and
Globe company for miSfeasance.
The city, however, is displaying the
deepest interest in the London and
Globe group of companies, and the de-
mand that the public prosecutor act is
increasingly insistent A special petit
ton has been circulating on the Stock
Exchange and signed by many intiu-
entail men demanding the prosecution
of Whitaker Wright, as it is consid-
cred that the credit of the city and the
Stock Exchange demands thorough
investigation of the London and Globe
methods of finance.
The Total Public Loss.
Probably the full extent of the mon
ey lost to the public by the company
will never be known, but financial eX
perts now estimate it at upward of
$1O0,000,000.
The Rotations for which Wright was
responsible aggregated forty-one, with
the enormous capital of $111,775,000,
and with few exceptions all these COM
panies are either in liquidation, have
been absorbed or are defunct.
What the shareholders will recover
from the crash may be imagined from

he was surrounded in a swamp on the
Eddy farm. 1t was late afternoon, and
guards were placed covering all points
of escape. The men were stationed on
high grounC and so intrenched that it
was impossible for the outlaw, dead
shot as he vas, to reach them.
-Four hours before sunset the posse,
being disposed to the best advantage,
began to fire into the swamp. Tracy,
suffering from wounds, half famished,
dizzy from want of sleep, returned
their fire. He shot wildly, but many
of his bullets passed uncomfortably
close to the men who were coolly en-
deavoring tt kill him.
Finally he was compelled to retreat
to the wheatfield, where in despair he
killed himself
The Outlaws Sensational Career.
Tracy escaped from the Oregon state
penitentiary at Salem on June 8 in
company with David Merrill after Kill
ing four men, Frank w. Terrell, G.
r. L. Jones and B. f. Tiffany, guards,
and Frank Ingraham, a convict who
tried to prevent his flight. On June %
Tracy killed Merrill near Napavine,
Wash, shooting him from behind and
leaving his body in the forest, where
it was found on July Is. On July 8
near Seattle, in fight with a posse,
Tracy shot and killed Charles Ray
mond, a deputy sheriff. E. e. Bresse. a
policeman, and mortally wounded Neil
Rawley, who died on the following
day, and wounded Carl Anderson and
Louie Zafrite, newspaper reporters.
Tracy committed many feats of dar-
ing during his flight, in the course of
which he eluded various posses when
apparently surrounded and held III,
numerous farmers, whom he forced to
furnish him food and clothing and, by
threats of numbering their families
compelled to cover up his tracks. Per-
haps his greatest show of daring was
displayed on July 2 at South Bay. near
Olympia, when he held up six men and |
forced four, including the captain of |
large gasoline launch, to embark with |
him on Puget sound and pilot him I'm |
stream for ten hours.
In 1897 Tracy murdered Valentine
Hoge, a Colorado cattleman, and vii.
liam Strong, boy, in the same state.
A total reward of $4,000 was offered
for his arrest, Governor Mcbride of
Washington offering $4,000 for his can
ture dead or alive. The state of Ore
gon offered $4,000 and a brother of one
of the guards killed at the peniten-
tiary offered 500.
The reward for Merrilrs capture
amounted to $780, which has been
claimed by Mrs. Waggoner, the berry
picker, and her son, who found tha
body near their home.

Weather and Crop Conditions.

Central Office, State Experiment Sta

August 9th, 1902.
Frequent thunderstorms, very
heavy in portions of the Northern
and Central Sections, cloudy and
very sultry weather, have character
lied the week. These conditions
have been very unfavorable to the
maturing crops and the harvesting
of oats and hay; much that was cut
during the previous week still re-
mains in the fields in somewhat
damaged condition, some sprouting
being reported. The ground is now
SO wet that teams cannot go on the
fields to complete the harvest. Po-
tatoes are rotting in low fields, but
on high ground the yield promises
to be the largest gathered for some
years. Corn continues to be most
promising crop; some fields in Mid
dlesex and Somerset counties have
been Frustrated by the heavy rains.
but will recover with few days of
sunshiny weather. In the Southern
Section, all crops are in a most
f1ourishing condition. The second
crop of grass and clover will be
larger than the first in some locali-
ties. In some places in the Northern
Section, apples are very promising,
while in others the prospects are poor /;
plums and peaches are rotting on the
trees, owing to excessive moisture.
The temperature was slightly above
the normal, the rainfall largely in
excess and the sunshine very deficient.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 6.-Surrounded
on all sides by posse of dead shots
and certain of ultimate death, Harry
Tracy, the outlaw, killed himself in
wheatfield near FellOWes just at dawn.
All night long he had been harried by

chance shots at him. He was chased
from a swamp, where he had entrench-

Realizing that the coming of day

The pursuit narrowed Tuesday. Ira
