TWO MEN SURROUNDED
BY H|LLSV|L[E POSSE
Detectives So Far Unable to
Learn if They Are Allen
and Edwards.

HILLSVILLE, Va, April 2.-Informa-
ton reached here about noon today that
the posse search for Sidna Allen and
Wesley Edwards had located two men
and closely surrounded them. The
posse, 1t is said, had not been able to
approach close enough to learn the identi-
ty Of the men. 1t is possible that they
may be two escaped criminals who dur
in she mountains and confusing tho
tracks Of the Aliens.
Detective A. H. Baldwin arrived here
today from Roanoke and left Immediate
ly for the mountains. The detectives adj
NIT that they have never before been so
close to the fugitives as they are today,
though heavy fog may give the latter
opportunity to escape.
Dogs on New Trail.
A second attempt to run down Allen
and Edwards with bloodhounds began
today, when the dogs were put on a new
trail in the Fancy Gap section Of the Blue
Ridge, near Floyd Aliens home. Positive
information that the men who are be-
lieved to have played the leading parts
seen in that section yesterday had been
brought to the detectives by Scipio Gray
and Alexander McGraw, residents Of the
neighborhood.
The dogs being used in the search are
the prize trailers of the state farm pack,
and it is regarded as certain they will
lead the detectives to the outlaws hid
ing place, if given half a chance. =
According to the latest theory Of the
searchers, the fugitives have been NOV
ing back and forth between two bases
of supplies, one being the home of a
relative, Hubbard Easter near where
they were seen yesterday, and the other
ten miles away.

der the treaty with Great Britain. and
having jurisdiction over all questions re-
lating to the use of boundary waters be-
tween the United States and Canada,
held it's first formal session today, to hear
applications in conformity with articles
III and w Of the treaty. The commits
sion met at its offices, in the Southern
building, Chairman James A. Tawney of
Minnesota, presiding. There were also
present Frank S. Streeter of New Hamp-
shire. and George Turner of Washington.
T. Chase Casgrain, K. c., Of Montreal.
and Charles A. Magrath Of Ottawa.
The first business brought before the
commission was the application Of the

outlet of Lake Namekan, the said dam to
cross the international boundary from
the United States to the Canadian shore.
The proposed improvement has been au-
thOrized by Congress and approved by

ment. 1t also has been authorized by
the Dominion parliament of Canada and

not navigable.

pose of conserving the high water of the
spring freshets for more economical dis
tribution through the dry season c. II.

Improvement Company, was present to
explain the scope of the improvement and
the status of legislation and executive APP

pEMccRAcYs NEW RECORD.

The New York World recently asked Oscar W. I'm
derwood chairman of the ways and means commit
tee and the majority leader in the house OF represen
taves to give the people through the world, some
reasons WHY the democrats taking their recent rec
ord in mower as a test should be given the job OF
running the government for the next four years Mt
Underwood made very strong and convincing an
swel. He said in part:
In giving specific reasons Mr. Underwood men
returned power. say to you that we are entitled
to the confidence of the American people because
have kept pledges because have demonstrated
that we can and will the tariff taxes downward
to revenue basis in the interest of the consumer
that we will economically administer the affairs OF
the national government that we will stand for and
uphold the constitution of the United States. that
the democratic party is and will be progressive so
long that progress can be made within the terms
of the constitution of the United States and not in
violation constitutional rights that guarantee
to and all protection of life, liberty and prop
erty.
In giving specific erasons, Mr.. Underwood men
toned the following
while the democratic majority in the house is only
6S, the Farmers Free List bill passed with majority
of 1877; the wool bill Of last session with 800 and
this session SO majority; the cotton bill by 112 ma
jority; the bill majority and the excise
bill by majority of 212.

"Second-That the democratic majority in the house
has during the Sixty-second congress met the re-
sponsbilities tariff revision intrusted them by

'Third-That by wise, courageous anu efficient work
the democratic majority has held it's forces in

"Fourth-That the political situation points unms
