Great Reception o General Dewct
In a Speeeli He Says the Time
lias Come to Lay Dotvji Arms
v-Scouts Rewarded.
LONDON, June 1G. Dispatches re
ceived here from South Africa show that
the surrenders of Boers arc proceeding
with the greatest good will. The total
of those who have already surrendered
numbers 1C.S0Q. and the British are ex
tending every possible kindness to the
men who come In. The appearance of
General De Wet at the camp at Wynburg
was the signal for a great display of en
thusiasm. When he arrived at camp
General De "Wet was at once surrounded
by thousands of Boer men, women and
children, who struggled and clamored to
shako the hand of their hero. He
warmly applauded the stanch support
that the women bad given the burghers
during the war, which he said had
greatly encouraged the men In the field.
Continuing, he recommended his hearers
to be loyal to the new government and
said:
"Perhaps it is hard for you to hear
this from my mouth, but God has de
cided thus. I fought until there was no
more hope of upholding our cause, and
however It may be, the time has now
come to lay down our arma As Chris
tians. God now demands that we be faith
ful to our new government. Let us sub
mit to his decision."
Neither General De Wet nor General
Steyn, ex-presldent of the Orange
Free State, was wounded during the war.
General De Wet has not seen his wife
lor two years.
The concentration camp will be convert
ed into supply depots to provide the re
turning tiurghcrs with the means to re
build and restock their farms. The -wives
end families of the Boers will. If de
sired, be maintained at the expend of
the government while the burghers are
preparing their farms for their recep
tion. Two thousand of the native scouts
Tvho fought upon the British side during
the war will immediately be disbanded,
and each scout will be provided with a
pony and enabled to return to his farm.
Boer Fnxt Surrendering.
LONDON, June 15. A dispatch from
Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, Satur
day, June H, says that 2594 Boers have
surrendered since Friday, June 13, and
that everything is proceeding most satis
factorily. FREDERICK THE GREAT.

The Old Bo' Girln.
BERLIN, June 15. Professor Uphues,
the sculptor, who is to execute the statue
of Frederick the Great, to be presented
by Emperor "William to the United
States, Informs the correspondent of the
Associated Press that he will have no
opportunity to see the Emperor and take
suggestions regarding the statue before
August.
The guards at the Sans Soucl palace,
at Potsdam, have been ordered not to
mention to visitors certain pictures inti
mately connected with Frederick the
Great. Among those is the portrait of one
of his kitchen maids and also pictures of
Ihls favorite ballet dancer, and a picture
of a beautiful girl whom Frederick the
Great saw leaning out of a window while
he was out driving. The idea of the au
thorities seems to be that the attention
of visitors should be drawn to nothing
suggesting that Frederick had the royal
foibles of his period.
Pari Swindlers Arrested.
PARIS, June 15. The police here have
been notified of the arrest at Spa, Bel
glum, of two of the men who are al

an a number of shares in a copper mine,
with offices in New York. The name of
the third American, .who has not yet been
arrested, is given as Colonel Conley. Aft
er the purchase of the shares in question,
Buchanan returned to New York and
tried to sell them in Wall street, where
lie found .them to be worthless. The shares
had not been Issued by the mining com
pany whose name they oore.

FOUR DAYS OF SPEECHES
Before Vote Will Be Tnlsen on Ith
inlnji Canal Bill.
"WASHINGTON. June 15. The Senate
will meet at 11 o'clock each day during
the present week up to and including
Thursday, in order to permit ample op
portunity for discussion of the isthmian
canal bill, prior to voting on the bill and
amendments on Thursday. The four days
preceding the vote will be crowded with
speeches on the bill, the announcements
of Intended remarks being unusually nu
merous. Senator KIttredge wfll speak
Monday in support of the Nicaragua
route, and will be followed on Tuesday by
Senators Cullom and Stewart, and on
Wednesday by Senator Hanna. During
the week Senators Foster and Pcttus will
make addresses in favor of the Nicaragua
route, and on Thursday Senator Morgan
will close the debate In the Interest of
Nicaragua. The supporters of the Pan
ama" route express great confidence in tho
success of the Spooner bill.
Other measures which may be consid
ered during the week, if opportunity per
mit, are the Loridon dock charge bill and
the deficiency bill. A strong effort will
be made to have the Cuban reciprocity
bill in readiness to be made the unfinished
business when the canal bill shall have
been disposed of. It is expected that the
Cuban committee will be prepared to re
port Wednesday or Thursday.
There Is general agreement that but for
the Cuban bill the final adjournment of
the session could be secured at an early
day. Only the general deficiency bill, of
the entire list of appropriation bills, re
mains to be acted on In the first stage.
"With the passage of the District of Co
lumbia bill by the Senate yesterday, that
body disposed of the last of the supply
bills on Its calendar, and as the House
has the deficiency bill before It. there is
comparatively little to do In the way of
getting the appropriation bills through.
The naval bill, the army bill. District of
Columbia bill and the sundry civil hill
are still in conference, but no one be
lieves an agreement on them would be
difficult If adjournment could be ' ex
pedited thereby.

SANTOS IN NEW YORK.
Colombian Rebel Tells of His Wnr
In the South.
NEW YORK, June 16. General Gabriel
Vargas Santos, head of the Liberal party
of Colombia, and leader of the Liberal
army now engaged in trying to overthrow
the Conservative party, which is In pos
session of the government, is in this city.
The exact nature of the General's busi
ness here has not been definitely learned,
but it is believed he came north to confer
with his Chief-of-Staff, Focion Soto, on
the progress of the revolution in the
Panama province and in the Casamere
territory. Speaking of events in Colombia
he paid:
"If our troops can conquer in the Isth
mus of Panama we shall be able to make
much better progress against the Conser
vative forces. We have many armed men
Jn the Casamere and San Maritln terri
tories, in the Magdalena provinces. If
we had Panama we would be able to raise
sufficient funds to end the war in our
favor. At present we need warships in the
Atlantic in order to take Cartagena and
Barranqullla. Now we can get arms and
ammunition only through Venezuela and
through the Orinoco River. We are suf
fering from some of the recent victories
of our opponents, but their successes are
only temporary, and in no way disheart
ening to ua. We are called rebels, when
we are real patriots, who are fighting to
obtain our share in the government and
the initiation of reforms which would
make our country progressive.
"We are fighting for principles. We do
not wish completely to drive the Con
servatives from power, but we insist that
our party be allowed its proper represen
tation in the Chamber of Deputies. Since
18S3 we have not been represented, except
by two men. though we are half the pop
ulation. We advocate modern monetary
standards. We have cried out for years
for a system of education which will bring
our children up to a higher appreciation
of Hfe. We have fought for Improvement
in our national life and if we can gain
adequate representation in our Parlia
ment, we shall begin at once on these
changes. The foreigners with interests in
Colombia, and all tho progressive people
of the island are with us. Of course, the
Panama Canal is a great factor in the
present war."
General Santos is 70 years old. He has
been fighting since 1S54, and has taken
part in 22 battles.
A Famous Wnr Doe: Dies.
' London Express.
After going through three campaigns.
Drummer, the famous war dog of the
Northumberland Fusiliers, was poisoned
recently at Colchester.
Drummer was all through the Egyptian
campaign, and was present at the battle
of Omdurman, where. It is said, "he
snapped at the bullets as If they were
files."
' He went to South Africa with the
first regiments sent out, and was present
at Magersfonteln, where his then mas
ter. Major Ray, of the Northumberland
Fusiliers, was killed.
When General French relieved Klmber
ley Drummer was one of the first to. enter
the town, where he "was greeted by Mr.
Cecil Rhodes, who presented him with a
biscuit.
At Wynberg he was wounded In the
shoulder, and Queen Victoria signified her
intention of presenting him with a medal
when he returned from South Africa, but
the War Office raised objections.
Drummer, however, had several minia
ture medals and clasps, representing Dia
mond Hill, Johannesburg, Paardeberg,
Drlefonteln, Belmont and Modder River.
He possessed the distinction of being the
only dog Lord Methuen allowed to accom
pany his column from Orange River, and
last year the "Dogs Annual" was dedi
cated to him, accompanying the dedica
tion being an eulogistic article on the old
canine campaigner.
Drummer assisted at the paclficatlSh of
Crete, and also saw considerable "foreign
service" at Gibraltar.
At the time of his lamented death he
was the property of Colonel Ray (father
of Major Ray), principal medical officer at
the Colchester depot.

OUR TRADE WITH RUSSIA
WE GOXTROL BIAnKET FOR CER
TAIN FARM IMPLEMENTS.
Russians Prefer American Goodi,
Which Command Better Prices
Than Articles Made Elsewhere,
WASHINGTON, Juno 15. Frederick
Emery, chief of the Bureau of Foreign
Commerce, today made public the follow
ing Interesting extract from "Commercial
Relations for 1901," concerning the trade
of the United States with Russia last
year: '
Consul Henan, of Odessa, says that the
rale of agricultural machinery and imple
ments of American origin was larger in
Russia in 1S01 than during any year on
record. The effect of the Increased tar
iff on our machinery had 'not yet been
felt, and one American firm alone did a
business which passed the 51,000,000 mark.
The City of Odessa has been a heavy
purchaser of our goods for the new hos
pital now under construction. Among the
articles bought were 1500 radiators for
heating purposes; these came under the
increased tariff on American manufac
tures and the town authorities appealed
to the Minister of Finance to permit the
radiators to enter at the duty which pre
vailed at the time of purchase, as they
were for a public Institution Intended for
the poorer classes. The request was re
fused. Agricultural machinery of cer-
tain kinds, Including steam threshers. Is
admitted free, and 6ur harvesters, bind
ers, mowers, reapers, and horse rakes
are so favorably known as to defy com
petition. On the whole, American plows, drills,
seeding machines corn planters, culti
vators, farm wagons, fodder choppers,
etc., are not to be found In Russia. The
Consul says there Is no reason -why they
shoqld not meet with a ready sale, except
plows, which cost more than the German
or Russian article. On the other hand,
Consul Halloway, at SL Petersburg, says
our plows are generally used in Siberia.
The Consul-General adds:
"As a rule Russians prefer American
goods and machinery, which command
better prices here than similar goods
made in any other portion of the world.
The fact that a man is a citizen of the
United States and has American goods
for sale insures him an audience with
high government officials, as well as
opportunity to show his goods. Germany
Is our most active trade competitor In
Russia, and her proximity and the fact
that many pf the business men of Rus
sia understand German, and the credits
that are granted by German firms, give
this country a great advantage in com
merce. NevcrtheleB3, -where American
goods are known they have the prefer
ence, because of their superior finish and
quality. The Germans have been speci
ally active since the retaliatory duty was
placed on our goods by the Russian Gov
ernment, and tlrey have been successful
in obtaining a number of orders that
otherwise woitfd have gone to America.
Basldes agricultural machinery, we send
Russia typewriters, bicycles, saws, cot
ton, rosin and hickory lumber for wheejs,
ets. .
"American exporters should remember
that everything printed in Russian must
undergo press censorship before it Is
admitted to the country. American ex
porters who desire to circulate in Russia
advertising matter printed in the Russian
language should address a petition to
Count Alexander Mouravleff, chief of the
central committee of foreign censorship,
describing the character of the publica
tion for which admission Is desired and
requesting permission to Introduce the
same in Russia. This petition will be
more likely to receive immediate atten
tion if written in Russian or French; it
should bear a 'revenue stamp of the value
of 160 roubles (84 cents). Catalogues
printed In German are employed by some
firms, but the most effective way to gain
trado In Russia is to work the field with
Intelligent men well supplied with sam
ples who can familiarize themselves with
Russian business methods and inform
themselves as to the financial standing
of the people with whom they proposvj
to deal."
KAFFIRS REFUSED A RISE.
Dnd Effect on "German Bourse
Watchlnjr American Situation.
BERLIN. Juiia ISTVio TnrA i m
under the influence of the disappointment
with which the refusal of the Kaffir mar
ket to rise was received, and this disap
pointment has caused the market to lapse
into Us previous stagnation. All depart
ments were Inactive last week, and there
were few transactions. The operations In
Kaffirs of Germans on the London market
are also perceptibly shrinking, but it is
believed that these operations have ex
ceeded the entire turn-over of the Berlin
Bourse. The present tendency of Ger
man holders of Kaffirs is to sill, although
a gradual advance in price is expected
later. German banks are supporting the
efforts of the great Kaffir houses In Lon
don to weed out the weaker element In
order to prevent wild and reckless specu
lation. Financial critlcB accept the min
ing tax in South Africa as the best thing
which "could be expected, and believe it
could be fully compensated for by the
savings in freights on dynamite ana in
wages.
Domestic loans were somewhat weaker
last wctek. German holders thereof selling
while Paris and Brussels bought, though
In lesser amounts than were offered.
Among the foreign rentes Italians were
strong upon the fall In the premium on
gold. Spanish Tentes vaccllated while
Chinese and Argentines were firm but
quiet. Canadian Pacifies suffered from
profit-taking partly on New York ac
count. The situation In the United States has
remained In the forefront of Interest; the
uncertainty In America, however, has
paralyzed the speculative movement here.
The coal strike gives German Bourses
Increasing concern, and It is feared It may
affect the treneral situation In th TTnifwi
States, and the purchases from America
of Iron in Germany. Theso have latterly
declined, but it Is now expected that they'
will Increase as a result of the rise In
price of American, pig-iron. The shares
of German coal and iron companies were
slightly higher during the past week.
Tho negotiations carried on by the Prus
sian railroads for rails and steel cross
ties for tho current year have resulted In
the making of contracts for rails at 116
marks per ton. and for crossrtles at 106
marks, each two marks below the prices
which were obtained on the other con
tract. The market has expected that the coal
situation would reduco the restriction of
the output, but, notwithstanding expecta
tions, the restriction remains at 24 per
cent. Nevertheless, the decision of tho
syndicate not to restrict has not affected
quotations.
Other industrial shares were quite neg
lected last week, and. the quotations on
shares of the Hamburg-American and
North German Lloyd lines were slightly
lower. The general business situation
shows an Improvement which has been
checked, however, by the labor market
returns for the month of May. These In
dicate an Increase In the number of un
employed persons, especially men. The
Rhenish South German cotton Industry
Is reported to be working on full sched
ule, but at unsatisfactory prices. The
sugar market has Improved moderately
upon the abolition of sugar bounties and
the reduction of the excise tax.
London Market Very pull.
LONPON, June 15. The Stock Ex
change was just about as cheerful last
week as though Lord Kitchener had sur
rendered to the Boers, instead of the
Boers having surrendered to Lord Kitch
ener. Few persons would have believed
a month ago that the announcement of
peace could have been followed by such
dlagypt end fiatnce n speculative circles.
The settlement showed the first reaction
following the celebration of peace, but It
by no means disclosed the worst side of
the situation. Flimsy bull position, which
grew up during tho week of the negotia
tions in South Africa, in progress Is now
found to be larger than any one sup
posed. In fact, the only cause which the
exchange has found for congratulations
was an exceedingly unpleasant settle
ment passed off without actual failures.
Current accounts will be curtailed by the
coronation festivities, so there is small
prospect, of actual business fpr the re
mainder of this month. Consols finished
fractionally better on continental buying.
There was little Investment "business, and
even the gilt-edgcrs and home-rails were
generally flat. Americans were very
quiet, and are responding sluggishly to
their approvement in New York.
Money, was scarce, and the market was
forced to borrow 3.000,000 from the Bank
of England. Owing to the arrival of gold
shipments, however, the position of the
bank is now strong.
UNIVERSITY INFLUENCES.
Baccnlaureate Sermon hy President
Angell, of Michigan.
ANN ARBOR, Mich., June 15. Presi
dent James. B. Angell. of the University
of Michigan, tonfght delivered the annual
baccalaureate sermon to the graduating
Class In university hall. The hall was
filled with the graduates and their friends
and the undergraduates of the university.
President Angell said:
"The new century is opening with an
unprecedented impulse to the higher edu
cation. The world has been startled by
a series of gifts of extraordinary magni
tude in the Old World and In the New
for the endowment of universities, the as
sistance of promising students and the
encouragement of investigation and re
search. Men have been very busy in de
vising various kinds of constitutional and
le.gislatlve machinery to secure wise legis
lation and Just and effective ad
ministration. But no improvements
in organization: no contrivances,
however ingenious, can Insure us a pure
democratic government unless we'have an
enlightened public opinion and a patriotic
spirit guldtng and sustaining it in all Its.
life. It is the true ideal of tho function
of a state- university that it should De
placing in every considerable community
in the commonwealth one or more of its
graduates who should, through their life
and labor, carry to those communities
and for the general welfare something
of value that they have gathered here.
It Is in this way that the university re
imburses the people of the state for the
generous outlay that they make for her
support.
"Go from here not with the selfish spirit
of tho miser, gloating over what you have I
received from the state as an acquisition
to be used merely for your own personal
profit, but go rather with the grateful
spirit of loyal children of the state, who
will gladly sieze every opportunity to
make a full return to her for what she
has done for you. Go forth Into life, giv
ing freely unto all of whatever Intellec
tual light you have, especially as you re
member that the giving of the kind en
riches rather than Impoverishes the giver
himself.
"It is to be hoped that in pushing out,
however far, tho boundaries of knowl
edge, we shall never lose sight of our
relations to the Supreme Intelligence. To
trace his footsteps, to understand the
work of his hands, to discover his meth
ods In the creation and development of all
things. Is the aim of all sincere and hon
est seekers after truth. When we find
these, we find truth."

VIRGINIA CONSTITUTION.
Negro Clause Accompanied by Cor
poration and Education Feature.
Chicago Record-Herald.
Whether the real purpose of the Vir
ginia constitutional convention, which
has Just adjourned, was to devise a
method for eliminating the negro vote or
not the Instrument that has been drafted
covers a wide range of subjects that are
of vital interest to the people of the com
monwealth. The three questions of greatest popular
Interest that are disposed of In the new
constitution, however, are the qualifica
tion for suffrage, the regulation of cor
porations and the devising of an entirely
new system of popular education. As
Virginia had a negro population of only
630,722 out of a total population of 1,853,
1S4 It was hoped and believed that In
the adjustment of the suffrage problem
tho counsel of those -who favored an hon
est and consistent policy toward the
ne'gro voter would prevail and that any
restrictions based on education would ap
ply to both whites and blacks alike. It
was argued that Virginia could afford to
adopt an honest "educational suffrage"
without menacing the supremacy of tho
whites in local government.
But this expectation was not realized.
Virginia has chosen to follow the lead of
other states in their efforts to eliminate
the negro vote without disfranchising the
illiterate whites. The franchise clause is
a compromise measure and embodies the
"understandlngV feature which requires a
voter to satisfy the election Judge that
he understands any portion of the Con
stitution that may be read to him. This
"understanding clause" applies for this
year and next. In which time It Is be
lieved all the white voters In the state
will have registered, and after that the
requirement will be the prepayment of
poll taxes for three years and a modified
educational qualification.
Next to the adjustment of the suffrage
problem the feature of the new constitu
tion that will attract most attention Is
the creation of a corporation commission
of three members, with power to grant
charters, to exert general supervision
over public corporations and to regulate
railroad rates.
One of the commendable features of the
constitution which is in llnewlth educa
tional progress la the section which places
public education under the control pf the
State Board of Education, composed of
experienced educator, and provides for
the election of a State Superintendent of
Public Instruction by the people. Instead
of by the General Assembly.

so of Vancouver excursionists who had
accompanied the party so far on bicycles
had all given up tho chase, except one
brown-faced little boy, who stuck to his
wheel with grim determination. The point
where the party -wished to leave the
wagon was Fourth Plain crossroad, and
Just as this appeared in view Charles
Stonehouse, a noted shot and blacksmith
of the vicinity, appeared at a bend In the
road, earning a Romlngton rifle, and
asked the party to wait orders from Sher

ahead.
The horses were drawn to a shady spot,
and the little party of eight alighted.
Almost immediately Sheriff Marsh ap

The detectives and their two assistants

timber, Is so dense In that section over
thero (pointing with his rifle totvard the
edge of the Columbia River) that It will
be difficult to discover them. If they avoid
coming near this road they will make
on the right for the Glenwood country,
where, there Ip heavy timber. If they push
ahead, right behind this they will strike
Bush Prairie, Battleground, Maple Grove
or Lewlsville. This Is the third time I
have held this corner, waiting for prison
ers, on orders from Sheriff Marsh."
Xo Neves From the Field.
Up to a late hour tonight no news was
received from the detectives fighting their
way through the brush, or from Sheriff
Marsh and his party at Fourth Plain cross
roads. On his way to Vancouver the re
porter found the road patrolled by about 40
members of Company G, First Regiment,
W. N. G.. under the command of Captain
Sparks.
"We were not ordered out we are pa
trolling this road of our own free will.
We are volunteers," said one militia boy.
Pickets were met with all along the
dusty road, and about two miles from
Vancouver one militiaman stated that he
had heard an unconfirmed rumor that
Merrill and Tracy had been seen and rec
ognized by one of the Lleser boys as they
were tramping past Mile Plain, about five
miles from Vancouver. Most of the people
living on ranches along the road were In a
state ot nervous tension, now that the
notorious outlaws were so near, and they
willingly fed the militia boys with the best
food at their command, and would not ac
cept payment.
"Slay near us with your guns ready,
boys, tfnd we'll feed you, as long's Tracy
and Merrill are around," said one jolly
old farmer.
At a late hour tonight Vancouver la
exeked and the streets are crowded with
.soldiers from Vancouver Barracks ex
plaining to citizens how they, the soldiers,
could capture Tracy and Merrill In the
brush. If called on to do so. It Is learned
that a close watch Is being kept of James
Robinson, Merrill's half brother, who
lives here.
Merrill went to' school with Sheriff
Marsh, the man who is now leading the
pursuit against him. The opinion here
tonight is that If Tracy and Merrill are,
as Is stated to be the fact, hiding In the
brush between the Columbia River and
Fourth Plains road, with detectives In
the brush after them, and militia lining
the road, that their chances of escape are
silm. Vancouver, at least, looks for the
capture of the outlaws before many
hours. No private citizens seem to be

OREGON CITY. June 15. W. G. Randall,
who has a farm one and one-half miles
east of New Era and about five miles
south of this city, came Into town early
this morning with the startling news that
during the night a team of horses had
been stolen from his stable, with a wagon.
He discovered the loss of his property at
an early hour this morning when he went
to feed hi? horses, and immediately fol
lowed the track Into Oregon City. He
tracked the horses and wagon to Mount
Pleasant, Just south of the city, and here
lost track of them. Indicating that they
had been driven through the city. Mr.
Randall went on, however, and south of
the city again discovered the track o the
team, which went acrois the Clackamas
bridge and turned off toward Portland
Just north of the Chautauqua grounds, at
Gladstone Park. Randall returned to
town and notified Sheriff Cooke, who with
out delay got a team and started In search
of the thieves, who are now known to
he Tracy and Merrill, the murderous con
victs who escaped from the state peni
tentiary at Salem last Monday morning.
Last night Randan fed his horses and
saw that they were safe in the stable.
Both the span of horses that were stolen
and the wagon could be easily detected.
One horse Is black, brown in the flanks,
star on forehead, scar on the Jnelde of left
hind leg and above hock, aged 5 years
and welghB about. 1300 pounds. The other
horse Is a bay, has a epot on forehead and
snip on end of nose. He Is branded with
the figures 47 Inside of a circle on the left
shoulder, and his mane parts on both
sides, weighs about 1150 pounds and Is 5
years old. The wagon Is a platform
spring, with a back spring of wood. The
-right eingietree la of home manufacture
out of oak and Is not painted. The whip
socket is fastened on with broom wire.
.Neither of the animals is shod. The
wagon Is a one-seated vehicle.
Just before starting In pursuit of the
horse thieves Sheriff Cooke said there
was a strong probability that they were
the escaped convicts. At noon Sheriff
Cooke telephoned Deputy Sheriff Jack

SALEM. June 15. Salem waa thrown
Into Intense excitement at 4 o'clock this
afternoon when a courier, mounted on a
bicycle, came dashing Into the city and
reported having seen the escaped convicts
at the edge of the timber about four miles
east of Salem. While the report was gen
erally discredited, it was considered de
serving of Investigation, since the where
abouts of Tracy and Merrill had not been
positively established since Thursday
noon. Sheriff Durbln and a posse hasten
ed to the scene where It was said the men
had been seen. The report proved to be a
myth, for the messenger got the names of
Vancouver and Salem confused.

Hnrtgreave's Wild nide
From Columbia Slough.
The news that Tracy and Merrill were
In Vancouver. was brought to Portland by
Nurton Hartgreave. who, upon the dis
covers', literally flung himself upon a
horse, crossed the ferry and dashed Into
the city, scattering people to the right and
left along the road. Hartgreave's horse
was unshod, and when he pulled up at the
County Courthouse about 3 o'clock Its
hoofs were bleeding, and It looked as If It
could not travel another mile.' Hartgreave
himself was neither wearied nor excited
by his hard ride. He Jumped off at the
Fourth-street entrance, briskly ascepded
the stairs, and Just as briskly descended
the steps leading to the county jail. When
the door was opened he quietly asked for
the Sheriff. As the Sheriff was not in,
Chief Deputy Sheriff Thlelsen was tele
phoned for. and arrived within a few min
utes. Hartgreave told him that Tracy and
Merrill had crossed the Columbia, and
were In Vancouver, and after notifying
the police. Mr. Thlelsen started for the
Washington city, and accompanied the
posse to Orchard, five miles out on the
Fourth Plain road. The murderers were
then only half a mile ahead, and Mr.
Thlelsen has no doubt that they will he
either captured or killed. Three or four
bloodhounds. Mr. Thlelsen says, will be
brought down frord Walla Walla today,
and wfll be placed on the convicts' trail.
