CLEVELAND MAY TAKE PART IN THE COMING CAM PAIGN IN THE ESTATE OF NEW 10P.K. New Route for Suicide -Put a Knife to His Breast and Cooly Drove it in With a Hammer -Other News. Albany, July 2. Ex-President Grover Cleveland, who made his re appearance in politics at the Tilden Club the other night, after ten years of inactivity, may consent to be one of the Etar speakers of the coming democratic campaign in New York State. After the Tilden Club meeting, Mr. Cleveland, in conversation with ex-Senator Hill and other demo cratic leaders, expressed his willing ness to assist in every way possible his party to reclaim the state of which he "was once governor. " He did not wish the fact generally known, but to a number of his friends he has expressed the belief that with proper management of the campaign the state can be curred by the democrats. If he remains of the same mind after the state convention he will be asked to make a number of speech es, not only in New York but in other localities. The campaign managers say there is every reason to believe that he will consent to do so. Other distinguished men, rep resenting factions which have dis turbed the unity of the party since 1896, will al30 be invited to - make speeches during the campaign. A convention of the old-time sort, unrestricted by the candidate of any boss, with a free fighting ground for as many candidates for state, office as m'ey elect to enter the list and perfect liberty of speech, are some of the features of the dem ocratic programme which ex-Senator Hill, Chairman Campbell, of the state committee and other lead ers are now considering. This programme has been sug gested to county leaders through out the stat9 and has met with uni versal approval. The World correspondent can state with every assurance of ac curacy, that Senator Hill, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Mack, , Mr. Mc Laughlin or any other of the lead ers powerful in various parts of the states have not considered the ad visability of nominating any par ticular man for governor. There has been no discussion of candi dates for any state office. There is the highest authority for tha dec laration that no boom will be sprung for any man for a nomina tion to state office from the state headquarters. It is in the mind of Senator Hill to encourage as far as possible the growth of candidates from among the people whd know them best. It would undoubtedly please him to have the names of half a dozen eligible aspirants presented to the state convention for the nomination for governor. He has not said so, but hia intimate friends say that he would like a general discussion a mong democratic voters and demo cratic newspapers of the merit3 and qualifications of a number of men of good standing, undisputed de mocracy, and the proper mental e quipm'ent to lead a great fight. The idea that be does desire such a con troversy ever the selection of the proper candidates is taking hold in several parts of the state and will, it is believed, encourage the presen tation of the names of men who have never been conspicuously al lied with any one faction of the party. " The change from the recent meth ods of arranging cut-and-dried pro grammes for state' conventions and the selection of a candidate for gov ernor weeks in advance, seems in some degree to have inspired some thing approaching the old time en thusiasm with which dsmocrats prepared to enter a campaign. The opening of the state head quarters apparently has done much to increase the faith of democrats throughout the state, in the improved chances of their party this year. Guthrie, Okla., July 2. Thomas L. Smith, of Sneed, Indian Territo ry, has been lodged in the Federal prison at Ardmore , for attempted wife murder. Smith is said to have put his wife to all manner of torture, and ended by hanging her to a limb of a tree in the back yard. Their house was too far from the neighbors for them to hear the Woman's cries foi help. She succeeded io getting her arms through thenoo3e, and slipped it down to her waist, but a sudden jerk fixed it there and 6 he remain ed so suspended until unconscious. Neighbors finally found her and cut her down. They would have hanged Smith had he notj hidden in the underbrush until rescued by the officers. Mount Sterling, Ky., July 5. J. W. FaSsett, a prominent farmer, j attempted suicide this morning and . is not expected to li.ve. He took 'three grains of morphine, and pro curing a dirk and a hammer, went to an orcnard on his place, and placing the knife against his breast drove it into his body with the hammer. Manila, July 4. President Roose velt's amnesty proclamation was read at noon today in English and Spanish from a flag-draped' stand on the Luueta, after a parade of 6ooo Americans and Filipinos Arthur Ferguson, secretary to Gov ernor Taft, read the proclamation in the presence of a small gathering, as the heat dispersed the crowd when the parade eoded. The prisoners freed by the proc lamation, estimated to number 6ooo were released without ceremony . Many military prisoners had previ ously been freed. Aguinaldo re mained in the house which has sheltered him since his captivity. He is expect9d to visit friends briefly and then depart on a trip. His destination is not announced. The exiles on the island of Guam are expected to return here on a steamer. The observance of national holi day was general. Thecity was dec orated, and the shops were flying all their flags. The celebration was typically American, even to the firecrackers. Columbia, S, C, June 29. A race riot followed by a double lynch ing, took place in Aiken county last higfit. Toe riot occurred on a Southern Railway train just before it reached Langiey a cotton mill town on the South Carolina side of the Savana river and about twenty miles from Augusta. The train, was crowded with white people and negroes who had been in Augusta spending their hall hol day. The negroes were under the influence of liquor and quite bois terous. Two wounded negroes were plac ed in the calaboose v ot Langiey. One said he had not taken part in the fight and showed his revolver, which had not been discharged, as corroboration. A mob took both from the jaiJ and riddled them with bullets. Of nine white men injured in the melee one probably will die. Don't Fail to Try This.

About 30 Are Injured Motorman Loses Contrrl of Car on a Steep Grade, and ItCollides With Another One Ascending Other News; Utica, N. Y., July 5. On the Mountain Lake electric road near Gloveasville" last night there was a collision between two cars crowded with passengers, in which 15 persons were killed and about 30 injured. Four miles north of Gloversville is a popular place of resort or picnic ground. Last night the cars -were tilled with people coming home from the grounds. At 10:30 p. m. about two and a half mile3 north of Gloversville there was a collision between two cars, one bound north 1 and one bound south. They came together head-on with terrific velocity. As a result, 15 persons were killed out right. As it was a holiday, there I were many business men among those on the car. The Mountain Lake Railway tracks follow the side of a moun tain, the grade beiDg about loo feet in four miles. Coming down the incline the motorman of one car rying about 70 people, lost control of the car, which in a shortdistaace acquired a frightful velocity. Then it met a car ascending the moun tain, and also carrying about 70 passengers. The impact was terri fic, but for a few moments neither car left the track, the ascent of the one being overcome by the rush of the other, aod for a distance of sev eral hundred feet they went down the incline. Then they left the rails, and the dead and wounded were, hurled together in an inextri cable mass. At 2:30 o'clock lo bodies, mang led beyond recognition, were brought into Gloversville, where the injured were also being taken. Among the victims there are more women than men. Joliet, I1L, July 4. The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific road's threugh express train No. 5, bound for Omaha and Denver, which left Chicago at lo o'clock last night, was held up by robbers at Dupont, III., an hour later. Express Mes senger Kane was shot through the groin by one of the robbers, and is in a critical condition. The local safe was forced open, but the a mount of the booty serured is pot known. Charles Nessler, who climb ed over the tender of the engine and told the engineer and fireman to stop the train, has been arreEted. Nessler claims to be the unwilling accomplice of the robbers, as he o beyed their commands at the point of a revolver. The detectives are hot on the trail of the robbers. A special train is waiting at Coal City for a pair of bloodhounds, which are to be rushed to the scene of the hold-up. According to Nessler'e s'ory only two robbers were concerned, though the detectives think there were more. Demand was made on the express messenger and baggageman to open the door of their car under threats to blow it open with dyna mite. The door was opened, and the robbers rushed in. A struggle ensued, and Messenger Kane was shot through the groin. The rob bers attempted to open the through safe, but were unsuccessful. Rail way officials say practically noth ing of value was taken. The rob bers disappeared. Nessler was tak ed to Chicago this afternoon. The officials found in his possession an old slouch hat with several holes in the top, which could have been used for a mask. Havana, July 1st. The econom ic situation in Cuba has really become alarming, and the most se rious consequences are expected if some measures of relief be not speedily be put into practice. At the present moment Cuba, with all the wealth of her soil, is throttled and paralyzed by the hold-up at Washington, and, as all hopeof the eenate taking any favorable ac tion has been abandoned. Presi dent Roosevelt is . looked upon as a good Samaritan who will help Cuba in her hour of affliction. ' The attitude of Washington i3 keeping a great deal of willing cap- ital out of the island for the pres ent, and the influx of .capital for the development of thelaige estates is really as necessary as reciprocity itself, but, with both denied her, Cuba is really in a perplexing di lemma. The reconstruction of the country cannot be accomplished without foreign financial assistance. Even the local business has be come palsied by a financial fright, much money has been called out of circulation and trade has begun to stagnate, all of which adds to the' great economic tension. There is some talk of overtures being made to Englaud for recipro cal measures, and it is understood if such steps be taken the represen tatives of the English, French and German governments will, all sub mit favorable reciprocity proposi tions to Cuba. The trade of these three countries has . always been heavy with the island, and it would be to their interests to maintain and promote the long-standing relations. Mount Vernon, 111., July 4. An aeronaut named Hall Brock, from St. Louis, was instantly killed here today. He made a balloon ascen sion and the parachuts failed to work. He fell 12oo feet and was dashed to death. Colorado Springs, July 2. Cling ing to a narrow rock shelf oh Cook Stoxe Mountain, hungrv, thirsty, and suffering irom cold, Samuel Lower, of Tipton, Iowa, and Miss Goldie Mutchins, of Tippecanoe City, Ohio, lived through eighteen hours of terrible experience, perch ed 12,ooo feet above the sea level and 2,ooo feet above a human habi tation. The couple undertook to climb a peak and reached a ledge loo feet above the point whence they start ed. When they wished to descend the found they could net. All the afternoon and night they were im prisoned on the' ledge until rescu ers, who had climbed to the top of the peak heard Lower's -cries for help. It was necessary to return to camp for ropes. When these ar rived the two were hauled up, only to fall fainting at the feet of their rescuers. The girl is only seven teen years of age and delicate. Seattle, Wash., July 4 Did a member of the posse, instead of Tra cy, the Oregon convict, give Neil Rawley his death wound in the fight nerr Fremont last night? The find ing of a 38-calibre bullet in his body leads Coroner Hoye to believe that he was shot to his death by some other one than the desperado Tracy. While the coroner will wate until Tracy is either captured or killed before going into an investi gation, he is certain the unfortun ate man was hit by a bullet from a gyn in the hands of one of the par ty chasing the convict. The im portant and startling discovery was made this afternoon about 4 o'clock. Up to that t me it was believed for a certainty that Tracy had sent the death bullet into.. Rawley's body, when the lead missile was finally located in the breast, just over the heart, it proved to be a bullet from a cartridge of a 38-calibre pistol. Coroner Hoye, who was present at the post-mortem, preserved . the .small piece of lead. If Tracy is captured, and it is touna mat ne had fire arras in his possesion be sides the 30 30 rifle, it will then be an established fact tbat, being closed pressed by the officers of the law, he took a desperate chance with his revolver. Then there is a possibility that Rawley might have b en hit acci dentally by J. I. Knight, who was was a member of the posse. Mr. Knight earried a 38-calibre revolver, and was near officer Breeze when he was shot and killed by Tracy. He states he distinctly saw Tracy fire and kill the patrolman. Almost at the same, time he raised hisgun and sent a shot in the direction of the man who had leveled his gun at Breese. He does not remember see ing Rawley in the party.

TRACY'S HOT TRAIL, HOLDS UP FAMILY ON BAINBRIDGt ISLAND. Gets Clothes and Provisions Bincts -and Gags Four Impresses a Boatman and Embarks on ' Sound Now Said to Be Near Whatcom. Seattle, July 6. By the largest jump he has taken so far in hia bis night, Tracy, the Oregon Mur derer, has completely demoralized , all the carefully laid plans to cap ture him. Friday he left the vi cinity of Bothell. Saturday noon he reached Port Madison. Tonight at 6 o'clock he was reported Been on the outside of Deception Pas& between Fidalgo and Whidby Isl ands. His zizzag course and nn , expected movements have once more placed him beyond immedi ate danger. Hia latest ooup is the most spectacular of all. lhe mur- . derer's objective point is now sup posed to be Whatcom, where it is stated he expects to meet a friend. Tracy's arrival at Deception rasa was reported to Sheriff Brisbane, of Whatcome county, at 8 o'clock to night. He received the message from Charles Brisbane. Scouts have been sent out to patrol the , shore line of Chuckanut Bay, below Fairhaven, where it is believed that. Tracy will attempt to land. That Tracy is trying to reach friends in Whatcom county i3 stat ed to be almost certain in a dis patch from Whatcom tonight. . "Cub" Merrill, said to be a brother of Merrill, the convict who escaped with Tracy, lives at Whatcom. Sat urday night while intoxicated, he said that the murderer waB on his way to that place. Ha also 6tated that arrangements had been made to meet him. As a resultof Tracy's spectacular- T jump the greatest hue and cry after . a criminal in the history of the state is under way. Anacortes has two launches out guarding the pas ses through which the conviet may reach the shores of Whatcom coun ty. Deputj sheriffs are flocking from all sides to join in the man hunt, and when Tracy . lands he will be hard pressed. The last ' heard of Sheriff Cudihee and an ex- . pedition he led on the tug Sea Lion to Port Madison in pursuit of Tracy was at Sidney. He went there to hold a consultation with Sheriff Sackman, of Kitsap county. Tracy's flight from the vicinity of Bjthell Friday was unexpected. According to his own story, he beat ' across the country to Meadow Point, where he held up a Japanese flcherman. At the point of his Win chester rifle he forced the man to take him acroES Puget Sound to ' Port Madison. At Manison the murderer entered the home of a . Scandinavian family named John son. There he eight a hearty meal and changed his clothing. He made no effort to conceal his iden- ' tity. When he left the bouse Tra cy left all the members of the fam ily tied to beds and gafrged. He took Johnson's hired man with him and left Madison in a large boat belonging to the . family, accompanied by the hired man. He set sail down Puget Sound. Saturday afternoon at dusk. The news of Tracy's latest exploit spread like wild fire. Sher iff Cudihee returned from BothelV on the morning train and organized a new pos se. The tua; Sea Lion was chartered and the party left this afternoon for Port Madison. It consisted of a large number of heavily armed men. Until Tracy's boat was seen of I'ecep- tion Pass no definite news of his move- ments was received. It was reported that he was heading for the straits. Sheriff Hammond, of Jefferson county, and a number of guards left Port Townsend on the revenue cotter Grant in search of the murderer. Wild rumors floated around Puget souud of a desperate encounter bei: tween Tracey and the crew of the reven ue cutter. The crew were said to be in . boats and firinginto the woods in the vicinity of Appletree Cove. The story , was credited to the officers of the tug Dol phin. They emphatically denied tbat it came from them. , From all indications it would appear that Tracy took the outside passage oa his voyage to Deception Pass. In this case he must have gone past iron lvuaiow, Port Townsend. Forts Flagler, Casey and Worden. His boat must have been in in sight of these' places, as the murderer slowly put mile after mile between him-v (CONCLUDED ON XAST PAGE) t . ; V - Y" "-
