Forces Ranch Owners Family
 to Prepare His Food
HE READS EVENING PAPERS
After Gagglng Entire Family Daring Criminal Makes Hired Man Car ry His Bundles to Row Boat
 and Starts Down Sound.

Seattle. Wash, July 6.-Harry Tracy, the Oregon convict, has again eluded his pursuers after a display of great daring. His last act was to impress farm hand into debarking on the sound in a row boat late yesterday, and at noon today Sheriff Cudahey chartered the tug Sea Lion, and with a posse started fin pur- suit.
 According to information received at the sheriff's office here today, Tracy slept in graveyard on the outskirts of Seattle after his battle Thursday night with the Seattle officers. On Friday morning he proceeded to the ranch of a man named Fisher, secured food slept and rested in the woods all that day and night Early Saturday morning he appeared at Meadow Point in the water front three miles north of Seattle. his original point of landing. There he com pelled a Japanese fisher boy to row him to Madison Point Twelve miles across and down the sound from Seattle. He dismissed the boy. declaring that the latter would be killed by Tracys pal If he told of the trip.
 Went to Rancher's House.
 They landed near the home of Rancher Johnson and Tracy watched the house for an hour to make sure of the num- Der of men there Finding but two, he entered and announced that he intended to kill everyone on the ranch and take charge of the place for a few days. He added But after seeing your pretty little girl, l will kill no one if you all mind me. I will be here all day"
 The family prepared breakfast for Tracy and put one plate on a table against the wall. This is not right" declared the convict. Put the table in the middle of the room and all sit down with me-" which was done.
 Tracy then read Friday evenings pa- peIs, and after learning how Mrs. Van house to the butcher boy, said he had been careless in not keeping every one in that house constantly under his eye.
 My carelessness in this respect made 1t nee essary to kill two officers" he said
 He forced the Johrsons to give him a bundle of clean clothes, a hat and six days supply of food, cooked for him. put on Jchnson's suit of Sunday clothes end had the fcod. clothing and blankets made into bundles
 Gagged the Entire Family.
 At o'clock he bound and gagged the Jonhson family, made their hired man. Anderson, carry the bundles to Johnson rowboat, put Anderson in the boat at the oars and started down the sound.
 Mrs. Johnson released herself and the others two hours later and notified Deputy Sheriff Mckay, who lives at Madison Point. Mckay secured a boat and sent word to Seattle this morning. Sheriff Cudahey was summoned from Bothell and at 10:30, with several men, started down the sound in an electric launch looking for the desperado and the farm hand. Tracy, however. had fifteen hours start The sipposition is that he will row all night. probably kill Ander- sen, sink the boat and disappear into the wild forests of northern Washington, where he may live many days on his SupDlV. of food.

PAGES OF CONGRESS-
 SEE STUART ROBSON
Sixty Little Fellows Sat in Boxes of Washington Theatre and Applauded "The Henrietta"
 Actor Makes Speech.

Stuart Robson, the comedian. was something like fifty-three years ago. a page in the House of Representauves. says The Washington Times. He has days of his hoyhoods first employment. spent among the legislators on the hill. and consequently he has a mighty warm place in his heart for the alert htfie 1he fellows who are today employed Tn the same capacity in Congress.
 He believed that 1t would be very clever thing if he would invite the whole lot of these pages to see him m ne ne night.
 the most successful-from financial point of swthsstred ylsis ys;n ,o to ssmuei Freedman, his business manager. that he would be perfectly willing to forego the delights of handling the $S0 that might eonie to ,he Robson treasuIs quired sold to regular patrons.
 What's a mere bagatelle of $50. said the actor. compared with the fun III bright % little little fellows? fH bet they're much like what was when came over to Washington fifty or more years ago, and trotted up and down the aisles at the beck and call Of she Congrsssmen, .c be my guests at The Henrietta at fhe Columbia Saturday night"
 The communication that was receaveo by Assistant Doorkeeper Bert Kennedy, forth a cheer for Robson. The news spread as rapidly as scandal in board ing house that every page in both sides of the the s, Capitol .,s wss to see show' free
 MT. Robson made but one error in his calculations.
 In the days when he was a page there were only about six of them. He for got that the demand for messengers had kept growth with the progress of the country, and that instead of six or there- abouts, there are over sixty pages draw
 sSuely sixty boys cannot be packed Into two boxes," argued Manager Freed man. When the matter was brought to MT. Robson's attention he fairly gasped. SC. krfa. was 2!! ! @s! ~!!r' the actor said.
 "?' replied Mir. Freedman.
 well: we've invited the whole lot. and I guess we'll have to live up to the strict letter of the bid," was the view Of the matter MT. Robson took.
 "Yes, governor, that's all right. but we're selling the house out for Saturday night, and we can get rid of those boxes at Si5 each without the least bit Of trouble answered MT. Freedman.
 Five Boxes Were Required.
 It was finally figured out that the sixty pages might. with careful packing. be huddled into five boxes.
 So, of all the vast audience that ap' pIauded Mir. Robson's work as Bertie the Lamb in "The Henrietta" last night nonf were more enthusiastic than those nv boxes crowded with pages. Sash & oI tne.I interest seldom manifested by box occu. pants. and when at atne end of the second act there was the customary 0utbursl If alJplause as Bertte is accused or crime of which his brother is guilty. thu little chaps determined to show MT. Rob. son that they were with him for all they were worth, no matter what the villair of Bronson Towards play might do oi say"
 The way they cheered and clapped their hands was a revelation of enthusiasm
 Their enthusiasm was infectious aiic

IN THE PUBLIC EYE.
Interesting Notes of Persons Talked
 About Now.

Justice Jerome Of New York has fad for inventing. In his country home As Iakeyille. Conn, he has fitted up cona- plete machine shop. where he puts in as much of his spare time as possible.
 Ex-Representative Jefferson M. Levys owner of Thomas Jefferson'S "Monti- cello" proposes to celebrate the third Presidents birthday there on April lA with speeches and festivities. Ex-Prest- dent Cleveland, ex-Senator Hill and oth- CT prominent Democrats will be invited.
 Luis F. Corea, the minister plenipoten- tiary from Nicaragua. who may figure prominently in the affairs of the great isthmian canal, is the youngest minister in Washington. He is a moving spirit in the confederation of greater Central America and has always taken the keen est interest in the interoceanic canal.
 Ever since his wife died. year ago, Joshua Lamoreaux. a farmer living near Ceases Mills, Pa.. has eaten his meals at her grave, half a mile from his home. One desperately cold day last week he was found unconscious there. partly frozen and almost dead from expos ure. He is 80 years old and in all their sixty years of married life he and his wife had never been apart longer than half day.
 pr. w. H. Milburn, the blind chaplain of the Senate, thinks he may fairly lay claim to the title of grandfather of the House" He entered the service of that body ten years before John sherman of Ohio and Justin $. Morrill, of Vermont, who were termed fathers of the House." Mir. Milburn was first elected chaplain of Congress in 1S45, being then resident of this State and hailing from the Congressional district represented by Lincoln.
 Hale and hearty. despite his forescore wears, Rev. Dr. Theodore l.. Cuyler, the oldest pastor in Brooklyn, preached 8 vigorous sermon in the Lafayette Ave nue Presbyterian Church last Sunday, just after celebrating his birthday. pr. Cuyler is now emeritus pastor of the church named. In the course of brief personal talk he said that during his hfty-six years service as q clergyman he had never been confined to bis home e1 Q Sunday.

faith rather than on facts. It is true that a company has been organized under q New Jersey charter to sell the unfin- isfed Panama canal to the United States, but something besides that is needed. The $Ao. .0oO, 900 offer, of which so much has been said, has not been authorized by the French Government. the Colombian Gov ernment, or the stockholders Of the French company. No concession to the United States of privileges which will be indispensable if it is to build the Panama canal has been made yet by Colombia Senator Morgan is quite justified in saying that the promoters who are be- sieging Congress now have the Panama canal on the bargain counter.
 On the other hand. the construction of the Nicaraguan canal is a more serious matter than it's enthusiastic champions seem to think 1t Is. That canal will cost far more than the estimate of $200. .000, ,00o. If begun 1t will not be finished in the life time of anybody now living. Work on il will be commenced with enthusiasm. Then, when the real engineering difficult ties of the undertaking manifest them. selves, the work will drag, as did that or the lofty Washington monument at the national capital. The cornerstone wal laid in ls4S The monument was not com. pleted until 1884.
 It is not necessary to go outside Chi cago to learn how deliberately And leis' urely public works are carried on by thu general government. It's agents have none of the fierce energy of citizens or oi corporations. Work began on a public building Tn this city over five years ago and the architect now announces that ht will "open bids for interior finishing nex' spring" Apparently there is no present intention of completing that building. Ap. parently even the wish to complete it is lacking. There Is too much money foi somebody in delay.
 If the Government building were a pri- vate structure it would have been fin- ished in two years. The private citizens putting their money into it would not have consented to the heavy loss govern ment methods of building would have en- tailed. Only the government could af- ford to lose for years the use of the enormously valuable postoffice block and pay interest charges. besides renting temporary quarters for an indefinite pe- siod. It would bankrupt almost any in- dividual to manage his affairs after this slothful and extravagant governmental fashion.
