OPPOSED BY VATICAN
DOES NOT DESIRE TO ORDER WITHDRAWAL OF FRIARS.
A Show of Force to Which It Could Gracefully Bow, Would Be Vel comed-Conference on tIe
 Matter Postponed.

Rome, July 5.--After an examination of the note submitted by Judge William H. Taft. Civil Governor of the Philippine Islands. regarding the friar lands in the archipelago. the Vatican finds one very great obstacle to the withdrawal of the friars.
 The Vatican would not object if the ex- pulsion of the friars were arranged and carried out by another power so that the Holy See would only have to recognize the accomplished fact; but it shrinks from appearing as a. direct party to their withdrawal. especially since the religious orders are powerful in Rome, and above all others in the sacred college. The efforts of the Vatican are directed towards finding d way to consent to the withdrawal of the friars of the islands without appearing to do so.
 In fact, the Vatican, it is believed, would welcome a show of force to which 1. could submit. It would much prefer, however Fl compromise prohibiting the friars from returning to the parishes they left in 1898. but allowing them to remain where they now are or where there is no lccaI opposition to their ministrations
 The cardinals appointed to discuss Judge Taft's proposition were to meet July 10, but a requiem mass for the late King Albert of Saxony to be celebrated in the Sistine Chapel, at which the Pope and cardinals will assist, has neces- sitated a postponement of the meetings.

TRACY STILL AT LARGE
NOTHING DEFINITE AS TO oUT-
 LAWS WHEREABOUTS.
Many Posses are Searching for Him, But if He is Caught 1t Win Be Result of an
 Accident.

Seattle. Wash. July 5.-Harry Tracy, the fugitive convict, Is stiii unlocatsd.
 The report was brought in that Tracy had breaisfasted with man named john son this morning at 8 o'clock, four miles north of where Tracy shot Policemen Breeze and Rawley.
 Another report was that Tracy had spent all day Friday with a man named Fisher. living just north of woodlawn Park. He made Fishers wife cook enough provisions to last for several days and threatened with death any member of the family who left the house for for ty-eight hours after he departed.
 Posses are to the north, south. east and west of where Tracy Is supposed to be, but Sheriff Cu1ihee himself says there is absolutely no reliable information as to his whereabouts. Searchers In tho cabin near where Tracy killed the officers at Eothell Thursday found some blankets and provisions hidden in the loft. A chunk of fresh veal affords the theory that the convict killed calf in order to get fresh meat and that he spent Friday night in the cabin.
 All the searchers arc working hard. but in the absence of any definite infor- nation as to Tracy's location. the search is necessarily haphazard. If he Is found 1t will be an accident

 $s ] ACTIc Y THE CONGRESS- Littlefield of Maine to Intro-
 aduce a Bill. The President Will Frequently Refer to the Trust Question in the Speeches He Will Deliver
 This Fall.
AcTIe ,Y THE CONGRESS-

Oyster Bay. l.. l.. July 5-President Roosevelt arrived here at 5:ls p. m. and was given a very cordial welcome. When the train approached the little station or Long Island every whistle in the villag,, through prearranged signal, was set go- ing, and the old friends and associates of the President gathered on the plat form to extend greetings.
 When he alighted they completely sur rounded him and for time prevented his children, Kermet, Ethel and Archie, who had been awaiting .his coming, from get ting to him.
 Mrs. Roosevelt did not come to the de- pot. but Assistant Secretary Loeb was there. After exchanging greetings with his friends and neighbors the Presl- dent entered an open surrey with his three children and started in violent rain. and thunderstorm for "Sagamore Hill" Neither he nor the children seem ed any the worse for their drenching.
 The trip across to the Long Island Railroad depot was made in carriages under the escort of four mounted officers. One of these was Patrolman Hefferman. whom MT. Roosevelt, when Police Com missioner. had breveted for signal brav- cry. in stopping a runaway horse. The President took occasion to refer to this fact.
 Saw Old Friends.
 The scenes and faces around the Long Island depot across the river were fa- miliar to the President and he frequently ta .I,a alH friend. ed.
 The question of location of the execu- tive offices at Oyster Bay remains un- settled It will probably be decided Mon day. /
 It has been ascertained that the Presi dents speech in Pfttshurg in referring to the trust question was merely the fore runner of efforts to be made by him to have Congress take up the subject and enact definite legislation al its next ses-. sion for the control and supervision of trusts.
 Recently the President and Attorney Knox held conference with Representa-. tive Littlefield of Maine whose knowl- edge of constitutional law is admitted at which MT. Iittefield was requested to prepare bill for the regulation and con trol of the trusts that will go before Con- gress with the endorsement and influence of the President back of him. The bill is to be submitted at the beginning of the next session, but before this Is done the President. Attorney General Knox and MT. Littleiield will have frequent con ferences as to the details.
 In addition to this proposed action. the President is going to talk upon the trust question d good deal on the several trips to be made by him in the fall. He an- nounced to friends that the question is d vital one and he proposed to push it vigorously until there is some action by Congress.

 Those fellow workers among your craft who refused to obey the strike order and tho se few who deserted you since will have reason to regret their action. This great strike will never be settled with my consent unless every man that left his place with us in our battle shall be returned to his former position"
