 Probably Fatally Wounded.

Rutland, Vt, July 19.--Word was re- ceived here to-day of the capture at Arlington of Rufus Young, said by the police to be the most notorious horse thief in New England, and of the fact also that Young, during the shooting in cidental to his capture, received a wound which may cause his death. For over month deputy sheriffs and con- stables have been securing the woods within a radius of one hundred miles of Rutland, seeking some trace of Young. He had been arrested and placed in, lookup, but he broke jail one night and escaped.
 Last night definite information was received that Young was in the woods at Arlington. Sheriff H. s. Wilson, with a posse. cornered the man. There was .an exchange of shots. and it is supposed that it was then that Young was wounded. To-day, officers went into the brush and overpowered Young.

 ter Seems Probable.

 London, July 13.--A white paper was issued by the foreign office tonight giv- ing the correspondence between Great Britain and Germany in connection with the Germans Canadian tariff dis cussion. The despatches cover the per- iod from May g. 1897, to July 8, 1893, but their text adds little to the statements by foreign office officials brought out in parliament from time to time. The gen. eral tone of the correspondence indi- cates a greater willingness on the part of Germany to discuss the question in a friendly. way after Colonial Secretary Chamberlain public advocacy of a re- taliatory tariff policy.
 On June 27 Germany suggested an interchange of ideas with view to a friendly settlement. This suggestion was accepted by Lord Lansdowne. a1- though the British foreign secretary in enclosing his note reiterated Great Brit aims refusal to admit Gerrnanys right to treat Canada or any other colony granting special tariff concessions to the mother country as a separate customs territory to be made to suffer by retail iation for privileges granted to the United Kingdom. ,'a.

The switchmen have been asked to re- fuse to handle the cars of the Terminal Transfer company. and cars in any freight yard where the Kellogg com

 conflict, and Curran was non-connlit- tai on the subject.

 agement of the Kellogg company has been called sor to-norrow afternoon

 Whites and B,aoka Coming.

 Whites and Blacks Coming.
 Atlanta. Ga..; July 1S.-Booker T. Washington tonight addressed an inn. mense audience at the Peoples Taber- nacle, the occasion being the thirty sixth anniversary of the First Congre- gationtil church (coiored). MT. Wash- ington spoke in part as follows:
 Every decent white man and negro iii the south is glad that the time will soon be at an end when negro will be popular with his people in proportion as he curses the white man; or when a white man can be promoted to positions of trust and honor, in proportion as he has been successful in unfairly con- demning the negro.
 "The time has come here in the south when I believe the very highest types of southern white men and women are go- ing more and more to take hand in the elevation of the blacks at their doors.
 Whites and blacks are to reside to-. gether in this country permanently and we should lose no opportunity to culti-8 vate in every manly way the greatest harmony between the races. Whoever, north or south, black or white, stirs up strife needlessly by word or deed is an enemy of both races and to his country appreciate from the bottom of my heart the tremendous and trying strain that is now upon us and how difficult 1t is for us to make progress under such circumstances. but believe the mo- mentous period through which we are now passing will draw to our support the good will, sympathy and helpful CO., operation of large numbers of white men in the south as well as in the north If we only exercise due patience, self control and courage. ],

NEW ASSISTANT SECRETARY
APPOINTED TO WAR DEPART
 MENT BY PRESIDENT.

~-~ "
 N. F., to Succeed CeIonri 'yviIIiams
 Carey sanger-Appofnsme Agreed.
 Upon Yesterday by Root ana Rooss-s
 veIt--sanger's Retirement Due to
 wife's Ill-Heaith.
 Oyster Bay, N. Y, July t, President Roosevelt has decided to appoint Gen. eral Robert Shaw Oliver of Albany. N. Y, as assistant secretary of war to succeed Colonel William Carey Sanger resigned.
 The appointment was agreed upon finally to-day at a conference between the president and Secretary Root. It has been in contemplation for some time as it has been known that Score tary Sanger desired to retire from the war departmnet, on account of the III health of Mrs. Sanger His resignation was placed in the hands of the presi- dent, to be accepted as soon as con- ven.ent.
 General Oliver has had 8 military ca reer of distinction. He served in the civil war as volunteer officer and sub sequently served as an officer of the regular arny stablishnent in both the infantry and cavalry branches. For many years he had been identified with the national guard of New York and now is a brigadier general in command of the brigade whose headquarters are at Albany. General Oliver is engaged l in the iron business and IS quite as
 prominent in commercial circles as he is in military affairs
 It has not been decided definitely when General Oliver will assume his new office, but as Colonel Sanger de- | sires to relinquish his duties as soon as possible, the probabilities are that Gen eral Oliver will undertake them as soon as he can arrange his business affairs. The appointment of General Oliver, lit can be said, is quite satisfactory to Senators Platt and Depew, who were fconsulted regarding it.. In considering l the appointments, 1t can be said the president has not thought seriously of naming Charles s. Francis of Troy, N.
 Y, as ambassador to Italy as because,
 so far as the president is aware, Am bassador Meyer has no intention of re- signing that post. The rurnor, it is stated, is on all fours with that which indicated that Ambassador McC Cormick was to retire from St. Petersburg, to be succeeded by Mayor Low of New
 York. Both stories are hot weather gossip with not the slightest founda- tian.
 Secretary Root is still the guest of President Roosevelt at Sagamore Hill.
 He will leave for Washington to-mor-
 row morning at $50 o'clock. He and the president have considered the
 Alaskan boundary question with some
 care during his visit. The secretary will leave for London on the White
 Star line steamer Celtic on August 23.
 The sessions of the joint commission will begin on September '.
