fight if the other should hold
immOvably 10 the position taken at
the last exchange of communica-
tions. This is Che actual situation
as understood officially from reports
received from the German embassy
at st. Petersburg and the German
legation at Toxic. Yet this mu-
tual attitude Of hostile preparations by
both countries is still regarded here as
not excluding an honorable arrauge-
ment. Neither government has gone
so far that it must fight or be humil-
lated, but either cabinet by a single
step can put the other in that position
This delicate balance may, of course,
be violently disturbed any day, though
no uIumatUm has yet been thrown on
either scale.
1t is believed here officially that war,
should it occur, would be between
Russia and Japan alone and thar
neither England nor France would be
involved Frederick the Greats re-

Press correspondent as illustrating the
present posture of affairs: "NegOtIa-

One Found in His Pocket Solves the Mystery to How
the ConVcts Came Into the Possession of ReVOIvers

that a date. even to the hour. had been
arranged when Penglass was to throw
the guns over the wall. Ma Ors and
Connors on their next trip over TO the
ash pit picked up the guns and secrete1
them in their clothing. This occurred.
according to the belief of the acting
warden, not more than two or three
days before the break.
Found Note in Majors Pocket.
The note written by Majors to Pen
glass was found yesterday in the pocket
Of the coat worn by the former at the
time of the escape Friday night. When
Majors was captured he was brought
inside and stripped of his gray suit and
made TO don the stripes. Yesterday
morning the clothing was carefully
searched and the above note found.
When questioned about the part Pen
glass played in the affair, Majors re-
fused to talk. He declined to discuss
the note and did not either affirm or
deny its authorship. He did not seem
surprised when told that the note had
been found but refused to tell anything
concerning the details Of the plan Of
escape.
Frank Connors. one of the six men
who got over the wall, and one of the
men who was wounded in the battle
an accOmplice Of Majors. The fact
that ConnOrs was on the lash gang
with Majors leads the prison officials
TO believe that he was a ringleader in
the plot, and was second only to Ma
jOrs. He is believed to have received
one of the guns thrown over the wall.
Record Of Penglass.
John Penglass, the man whom, the
officers say. il is almost certain fur
nished the revolvers, was sent to the
penitentiary June Il, 1901. He was con-
Victed Of a robbery near Ogden. and
was sentenced to a term of three years.
He behaved himself we'll at the insti-
tuition and was allowed full copper"
being released ON oct. 8, just eight days
ago. A complete description has been
given the local police and telegraphed
throughout the state and the officers
are now looking for him. Should he be
captured re viii be prosecuted for aid
ing prisoner to escape.
IT is not thought by the officials at
the penitenuary that Lynch. the es-
capped convict. has a gun Neither do
they believe that he or Haworth were
on the inside Of the plan to escape.
Majors and Connors are thought to be
the only ones who had revoIvers. Lynch
could not have been furnished a gun
before he was released from his cell.
and il is not believed that he was given
one in the hurry of getting over the
wall.

TURKEY DOING BETTER
Two More Claims of the Amer
lean Legation SatiSfac-
tOriIy Settled.

ConstantinOple Oct 1.-Two more
claims of the American legation have
been satisfactorily settled the more
important being the issue Of a frmau
granting to DR.. Banks permission TO
excavate the ruins Of Bismah, II
MesopOtamia The claim has been
pending for three years and its settle
ment was constantly thwarted by
German professor engaged in similar
work.
The second question settled concerns
property belonging to the wife of the
American consul at Smyrna, upon
which immigrants have established
themselves. and which the government
now agrees TO purchase. The negotla-
lions regarding other questions be-
tween Turkey and the United States
are also making progress.
Some powers are showing irritation
at the prolonged stay of the American
warships at Beirut, but United States
Minister Leishman maintains an att-
tude of patient and steady pressure.

HAWORTH'S CAPTURE
EASILY EFFECTED

about 1915 o'clock I'm the morning. He
was taken into custody by Constable
Hyrum Nelson. his brother. James

posse.
The tip that a strange man was oc-
cupying the Ashton cabin on the hill

stable Nelson by his nephew. Leonard
Nelson The latter. while sitting in
Sunday school, heard John Peter Nor
Jensen jr. say that his father, early i'm
the morning had seen a strange man I'm

be Hawurth. the lad excused himself
from his class. hurried down into the
village and told his uncle what he had
heard.

Especial to The HeraldJ

n Eureka, Oct. 1.-THE underground
II fire. which was believed to have
burned itself out, is apparently as
bad tonight as it has been at any time
since it started last Monday. Since 8
O'clock smoke has been rolling out Of
the Eureka Hill shaft. and it is evident
from the odor that it is from freshly
burned wood. Conditions at the Bull
lion Beck were much better this morn
ing. superintendent Earls and his
foreman, Richard ChOpe. were able to
spend half an hour underground with
ont discomfort. They went down TO the
] .O0O-foot level and into the south drift
of the 3OO-fOOt level for distance Of
400 feet before finding any gas Later
in the day, however, the air current
changed and the men who were sent

SHOT BY MISTAKE.
New Jersey Man Entered the Wrong
House.

a retired hOtelkeeper. and a man of
considerable means, was mistaken for
a burglar early this morning and was
shot by Peter KOtz, into whose house
Brown had forced an entrance. Brown
was shot twice in the head and his ply
sicians have no hope for his recovery.
Browns act in breaking into KOtz's
house is unexplainable except on the
ground of insanity. Brown was act
ing strangely in the early part OF the
evening and is said TO have been drink
ing quite heavily. He has been uncOn-
sciOus since he was shot. The supposi-
ton is that in his bewildered condition
he thought he was getting into his own
home. Kotz surrendered and is still
under arrest.
