At 8 o'clock to night James Lynch and Nick Haworth, the two men under death sentences for murder, who succeeded in effecting their escape from the state priiion here, were still at large. Posses with blood hounds have scoured the hills north and east of this city w ithout finding any definite trace of the two men, and tonight the prosiiect of their capture is not so bright. Both of the escaped convicts arc well armed, and, as they are thoroughly desperate, it is believed neither will be taken alive. Iayton, the convict killed by one of the guards, was buried today in the prinon burial 'gronud. When bis cloth ing was searched, a slungshot weighing about a pound and a half was found. A similar weapon was found in Abe Majors' cell. Guards Wile-ken and Jacobs, who were wounded during the fight, are now in the hospital. Jacobs was badly in jured about the head, having four scalp wounds and a cat on the chin. Wilck- en, who was shot while fighting Majors on the prison wall, has a bullet wound in the right leg near the hip, which may necessitate amputation of the limb. The wounded convicta am all doing well, and will recover. I The prison officinls are unable to ex plain how the revolvers were smuggled into the prison, but sav the wearmnn were undoubtedly taken in by some of the many callers at the penitentiary during the last week. Governor Wells has offered a reward of 1500 each for the recantum ol Ha. worth and Lynch, and the prison an. thorities have offered an additional $100, making a total of 00 for either man. NOT TOO LATE VET. War Between Rnsala and Janaai r.. Very Easily Prevented. Berlin, Oct. 13 Russia and Japan act as though either would fight if the other should hold immovably to th position taken at the last exchange of communications. This is the actual situation as understood officially from reports received from the German em bassy at St. Petersburg and the German legation at Tokio. Y'et this mutual at titude at hostile preparations "by both countries is still regarded here as not excluding an honorable arrangement. Neither government has gone so far that it must fight or lie humiliated, but either cabinet by a single step can put the other in that position. Thi. deli cate balance may, of course, be violent ly disturbed any day, though no ulti matum has yet been thrown on either side. Hit is believed here officially that war, siioum ii occur, wouui tie Detween Rus sia and Japan alone, and that neither England nor France would be involved. AID TO ALASKAN PROJECT.
