FIGHT TO A FiNiSH
Railroad Strikers Settle Down
to a Stubborn Contest
GUARDS FOR THE OMAHA'SHOPS
Union Pacific Machinists Heaaon
for Refusing to Accept Piece-
work Situation on Other
Roads.
OMAHA, Neb., July 2. The strike of
the machinists and bollermakers on the
Union Pacific Railroad seems to have set
tled down to a stubborn. Quiet fight for
supremacy. The strikers felt more en
couraged today from the walk-out of their
craftsmen on the Northwestern and Mon
tana Central Railroads, which they say
will greatly assist them, because of the
extra demand it will create for skilled
workmen. There are several places along
the road where the strikers have met the
insurgent spirit. This was particularly
true at Evanston, Wyo., where a few
men quit W. W. "Webster, president of
District No. 2, of Evanston. has gone
home to "line up" his men. Much Inter
est centers in the situation at that point,
and a bitter fight is expected.
General Manager Dickinson and Super
intendent McKeen are still in the West.
President Burt is giving his personal at
tention to matters at this end of the line.
It Is stated at railroad headquarters that
the company has no reason to feel appre
hensive over the results thus far, and offi
cials persist in saying no new plans have
been adopted for filling the strikers
places.
President Kennedy, of the Boilermak
ers Union, said the reports of rifle shots
at Cheyenne were misleading. According
to his advices, the reports heard were
those of. bursting torpedoes in the shop
yards, and not gun shots.
The company has taken tho precaution
of do'ubllng the guards at the shop
grounds in this city, and the strikers
have placed pickets to watch tho move
ments of the company and prevent, if
possible, new men going to work. The
"Western superintendent of a detective
agency arrived in this city today, but It
is denied that he is employed by the rail
read company.
Thomas L. "Wilson, vice-president of the
Machinists Union, today made a state
ment to the public In answer to that Is
sued by President Burt, touching the
merits of the strike on that road. Mr.
Wilson admits that the road has been
paying the highest scale of wages during
the past, but says other roads raised the
scale of wages July 1, and that the de
mand of the Union Pacific machinists
was "strictly in line with tho general
movement of all mechanics to get a fair
share of the existing prosperity in
the United States, and to which we are
justly entitled."
On the refusal of the machinists to ac
cept piecework, Mr. Wilson says the ma
chinists are not to be compared with
trainmen, who do not come Into compe
tition with each other. He says such a
system would tend to bring them into
competition with sweat-shop workmen
and prevent them from treating as a body
with the company. He sums up as fol
lows: "I do not hesitate to say most emphati
cally that this trouble was brought about
by the arbitrary actions of the Union Pa
cific Road. They wanted the strike; they
got ft, end are apparently glad of It
Since we are forced to it, we will see that
the men's demands are granted, or we
will go down to defeat like one -man."
Preparing: for a Long: 'Siege.
CHEYENNE. "Wyo., July 2. The last
doubts as to wether the Union Pacific In
tends to fight its bollermakers and ma
chinists to the last were removed this
morning, when additional bunks and sup
plies were sent to the shops. The com
pany is preparing for a long siege and is
taking every precautionary measure to
protect Its non-union men.
The strikers and locked-out men are
confident that their places cannot be
filled by competent men for some months
to come, and say that In the meantime
they will strike at the company in unex
pected quarters. The strikers claim that
a large number of locomotives are al
ready In need of repairs.
General Manager Dickinson and Super
intendent McKeen. of the Union Pacific,
are here today looking over the strike
situation. Mr. Dickinson said, in an in
terview: "The company has decided to inaugu
rate piecework over the entire system,
even if it takes years to accomplish It,
and will not recede from this position. It
will establish a scale of pay which will
enable men to earn more by conscientious
work than under the time system."
The ofllclals leave tonight for the West
to visit other shops along the system.

but It Is known that both the men and
the company have made concessions.
LOS ANGEL.ES. Cal.. July 2. General
Manager A. G. Wells, of the Santa Fe
lines in California, said tonight, in re
gard to the reported settlement of the
bollermakers strike at San Bernardino

to men charged with -participating In
riots at coal mines. Early this morning
Deputy Sheriff Eckert brought four men
from Freeland. charged with engaging in
a riot at that place. The prisoners were
taken befon Magistrate Pollock for hear
ing. A number of xleputies testified that

to Intimidate some fellow employes. One
of the men pointed a revolver at one of
the deputies. The riot act was then read,
and the mob refusing to disperse, the

liance has offered $5000 reward for the
arrest and conviction of boycotters.
There came near being a serious riot at
the William A. colliery this afternoon.
Charles A. Brown, a mining engineer, was
on hla way to the mine, when he was
threatened by a crowd of -strikers. Brown
pulled his revolver and flrejj in the air,
whereupon the guards behind the barri
cade at the colliery came out and fired
into the air, causing the foreigners to fall
back. After It was thought the trouble
had subsided. Brown was arrested by

The first break in the ranks of the strik
ing firemen occurred this afternoon, when
three former employes of the Kingston
Coal Company applied for work and wre
gjven their old places. Three of the fire
men who went out at the Pine Ridge mine,
at Miners Mills, also requested that their
old places be given to them, and the su
perintendent of the colliery said they
might have them. Since the strike of
steam men was inaugurated, June 2, a
large number of engineers and pumpmen
have gone back to work, but the firemen
had remained firm until today.
Cope Bros. & Co. have instructed all
their men who are held up by strikers
pickets and compelled to return homo to
furnish written statements concerning
their cases. This is being done to compel
the Sheriff and the local authorities to
preserve order or confess their inability to
do so. If the Sheriff cannot prevent the
rtrlken. from turning back men who ap
pear for work, the Governor will be ap
pealed to for protection.
MICHIGAN MIXERS' STRIKE.
President Mltchcll'.s Efforts to Settle
It Failed.
SAGINAW, Mich., July 2. A conference
of the coal-mine operators and mlnework
era considered the differences which have
kept the miners in this state on strike for
two montho. President John Mitchell was
present At an executive session of the
miners this afternoon. President Mitchell
advised a settlement of teh strike, if pos
sible, urging the men to concede minor
points, if only the wages were not reduced
under the new scale. He talked as if he
felt that the anthracite strikers would
need the support of the bituminous men,
and that substantial support could only
come through the men being at work.
The conference later In the day, however,,
failed to bring about an agreement The
men contended for the same scale of
wages as last year, for an eight-hour work
day and for abolition of the system where
by the men push the cars from the en
tries. The operators conceded the wage scale,
offered to Increase the pay of firemen 30
cents a day, and to adopt a uniform wage
scale for all help above ground in lieu Ot
the demand for eight hours, but refused
to abolish the pushing of cars from the
entries. The matter was then referred by
the joint conference back to the local
unions to vote upon, and If they accept
the proposition, another Joint conference
is to be called. Otherwise the strike will
continue.
President Mitchell left for Wilkesbarre

CHARLESTON, W. Va., July 2. At a
well-attended meeting of Kanawha coal
operators held today, at which suggestions
ot President Stephens, of the Chesapeake
& Ohio Railroad, were discussed, resolu
tions were adopted as follows:
"We will not recognize the organization
known as the United Mlneworkers of Am
erica, believing, as we do, that recogni
tion of the order would seriously Injure
the Interest of the operators and miners
of West Virginia, The recognition of the
United Mlneworkers of America being the
real and only Issue involved in, the present
strike, we declare that the ea'me is not a
proper subject for arbitration, and we will
not arbitrate that issue."

TRACY ON THE WATER
(Continued from Tint Pase.)
H
near McNeil Island so that he might take
a shot at any of the guards who happened
to be on the beach. He also wanted to
kill the captain of the tug Seafoam near
the entrance to Tacoma harbor, because
the tug persisted 'in heading toward the
launch. He threatened to kill Munro if
a revenue cutter hove in sight Munro
was the last man to board the launch,
and Tracy was afraid he might have
spread the alarm before boarding the
launch.
Tracy told his unwilling companions on
the voyage that he had killed his partner,
Merrljl. because of some differences with
him. Something that appeared In one of the
papers annoyed Merrill, and he threatened
to kill Tracy. The latter challenged him
to a duel. Each was to walk 10 paces
from a certain line, then turn around and
fire. According to Tracy's story, when he
had walked eight paces, he suddenly
turned around and shot Merrill twice in
the back. The 6tory, however, does not
receive much credence in police circles.

STORY OF CAPTAIN CLA11K.
Launch Hove in Sight of Seattle ia
Broad Daylight.
SEATTLE. Wash., June 2. Captain A.
J. Clark, who had charge of the launch
in the service of the Olympla Oyster Com
pany, and who was compelled to bring
Tracy to this city, tells the following
story:
"We left Henderson Inlet, near Olym
pla, about 8 o'clock this morning. Before
we left the two remaining men were
bound and tied up so they could not
scape. Later, however, Munro,' one of
my men, went back to get clothes that
Tracy demanded. He untied the captives.
Tracy remembered Munro's return,
after we were out on Puget Sound, and
asked Munro if he untied the men.
Tracy then said if the escape was inter
fered with by a revenue cutter, as a re
sult of Munro's return, he would shoot
Munro. Tracy suggested that the launch
hug in close to the shore, as we passed
McNeill's Island, where the United States
penitentiary Is located. He wanted to kill
one of the guards. We dissuaded him from
this, however. Nothing further of any
great incident happened on the trip until
we reached Meadow Point
"The launch passed the entrance to the
Seattle harbor between 5 and 6 o'clock,
while It was still broad daylight Tracy
sat in the boat and coolly commented on
the appearance of the city from the
water. We reached Meadow Point about
6:30 and dropped anchor. We remained
there for about an hour, when dusk began
to set In, and the convict said he was
ready to go ashore."
Tracy Binds Men Left on Launch.
"Before going, he made Scott tie and
bind the others. My son has a .sore wrist,
and Tracy noticed It as Scott was obeying
his order. The other men were tied with
their hands behind their backs, a thin
rope being tied around their wrists, and
thence attached to their feet The boy,
however, on account of his sore wrist,
was bound by the elbows.
" 'I'll send you a lot of money to make
up for, kidnaping you and the launch.
Captain Clark,' eald Tracy as he went
over the side, 'for I will have a lot "Of
dough pretty soon now. And I won't for
get you other fellows. You have acted
pretty decent by me. Well, so long.'
"Tracy, however. Insisted that Scott
should go ashore with him. He took a
liking to Scott on the trip down Puget
Sound. The two men landed about 2Vi
miles north of Ballard and walked slowly
Into the town. Tracy had 300 rounds-of
ammunition, and his now famous 30-30
Winchester rifle. He bemoaned the fact
that he had not a six-shooter.
" 'But I will soon fix that,' he remarked
to Scott. 'I am going to search for a
policeman first, and get his gun before 1
do any real business here.' "
TRACY AT SOUTH BAY CAMP.
Makes Men Stay at One End of Room
While He Takes Breakfast.
OLYMPlA. Wash., July 2. Tracy ap
peared at the camp of the Capital City
Oyster Company at South Bay, near
Olympla, this morning about 5 o'clock. He
entered the home of" Horatio Ailing. Be
sides" Ailing, the cook, William Adair, was
In the house at the time. He informed
them who he was, and then ordered them
to help him get breakfast As they were
doing sp, Frank Scott and John Munro,
employes of the company, entered Tracy
then became alarmed and made the men
stay at one end of the room while he
took his broakfast
The gasoline launch was lying in the
bay. Tracy asked a few questions about
It, and then ordered the cook to call tho
master. Captain A. J. Clark, and his
son, ashore for breakfast The cook
obeyed the order, and the two men came
ashore. After they had eaten breakfast
Tracy ordered Munro to gag and tie Ai
ling and the cook. He then marched Cap
tain Clark and his son. Scott and Munro
down to the beach at the point of his
gun.

SEATTLE, July 2. "While I was mor
tally afraid of Tracy," remarked Scott,
the man who accompanied the convict
from the launch to Ballard, In telling the
etory. "yet he made a fellow feel at
home."
After leaving Tracy, Scott hurried hack
to Meadow Point and went out to the
launch. He expected to find the men who
were left on board etlll lying bound in the

OLYJIPIA, Julr 2. Dr. Alden
Hatch Steele, who died In this city
June 29. was on Oregon pioneer of
ISO, having settled at Oregon City
In October, 1840, and -practiced his
profession there for 14 jears. Dr.
Steele ws born at Oswero, X. Y.,
February 10. 1823. He was gradu
ated from the medical department
of the University of New York In
1840, and first began the practice ot
medicine In his native city. After
ward at Kenosha, Wis., he prac
ticed tor one year, and In March,
1840. started across the plains for
Oregon vita a stage company, but
on the way joined company with a
rifle regiment of the United States
Army and accompanied it to Van
couver, "Wash. After spending a
few weeks there be went to Oregon
City. There he practiced medicine,
and was a member of the City
Council 11 years. A portion of this
time he acted as City Recorder, and
for three years was Mayor. In 1803
Dr. Steele became a Warrant Of
ficer In the United States Army, and
acted as surgeon at Fort Dalles
released themselves before his arrival.
The party went ashore and came to the
city, reaching here shortly before mid
night The prevailing traits of Tracy, says
Captain Clark, are perhaps his vanity and
"gall."
Whether Tracy had any previous knowl
edge of the topography of ""the country
surrounding Meadow Point is not known,
but it Is certain that be could have se
lected no locality more adapted to his
needs. It will be recalled that at this
place Detectives Lane and Adams, togeth
er with Marshal Hunt of Ballard, en
countered and captured one of a gang of
notorious water pirates during the past
Winter, namely. Jack Ferguson, the for
mer; associate of Jack Turpln, who ter
rorized small water craft In the vicinity
of Lower Whldby Island for moro than
two years before he was taken. With
Ferguson at the time was an unknown
companion, who plunged Into the dense
underbrush surrounding the point and
made his escape.
Meadow Point is situated on the edge
of Section 35, on a direct line two miles
north of the town of Ballard. It is 3
miles directly west from Green Lake, and
six miles south of Richmond Beach. High
precipitous bluffs reach almost to the
water's edge on the south side of the
point while on the north a dense growth
of underbrush runs almost to the water's
edge. The Great Northern Railway line
skirts the edge of the point, and various
small steamers ply within a stone's throw
of the shore.
AMONG FRIENDS NOW, HE SAY'S.
Tracy Holds Seattle Is the Only Plnco
He Can Make His Get-Array.
SEATTLE; July 2. On boarding the
launch near Olympla, Tracy announced
that he wished to go to Seattle. He helped
to get the engines started, but always
keeping the others covered with his rifle.
He took 3W rounds of ammunition on
board with him. He then sent Munro
back to get him some clothes and a pair
of shoes. At the time Tracy was wearing
shoes had Lad taken from a cripple. One
had a sole several Inches thick, while
the other had a thin sole. Munro took a
coat and vest belonging to Ailing, tho
cook's trouiers and shoes. With these he
returned to the launch, and the voyage
began for Seattle.
Captain Clark wanted to cover the dis
tance as soon as possible, but Tracy mild
ly expostulated, saying he was in no hurry
to reach Seattle before darkness set In.
As a result of the high speed at which
the launch, was traveling, the engine be
came overheated, and had to be stopped
twice. Tracy entertained his fellow pas
sengers with blood-curdling tales of his
life, and invited them to a frugal lunch
with him shortly after the noon hour.
In leaving the launch at Meadow Point.
Tracy hesitated for a few seconds, and
then said: "Well, d n It I don't want
to get you into trouble, so I'll wait until
you leave tie.
They walked along the railroad track
through Ballard. Tracy, however, felt
fatigued and insisted upon Scott sitting
down with him alongside the rails, a few
blocks from the center of tho town.
While they were resting, Tracy talked
rather vivaciously, and with no apparent
fear of bslng overheard. Then they
talked along the track a block or so fur
ther, when the criminal suddenly stopped
and said: "You can go back now."
"What are you going to dor asked
Scott
"First I have to get a six-shooter. I
need one badly. I must have it I will
flrst hold up a policeman and get his gun.
Then Til go out to Lake Washington and
come down to Seattle on Pike street"
"What then?" asked Scott
"Oh," said Tracy, airily, "I am going
down to .hold up Clancy's saloon and
gambling-house. I hear they have got
some dough down there. But" he con
tinued, "in 'Seattle I am among friends.
HIS WAR! RELIC
Notan Enviable One WasThat
ofcthisYoungVeteran of the
Spanish-American War.
Charles J. Draper, of South Shafts
bury, Vt, who served In Company D,
Fourth Pennsylvania Regiment, during
the Spanish-American War, brought
home with him a relic "which caused
him a great deal of misery. He tried to
rid himself of it. but was unable to do
so until a friend came to his aid with
what proved to be a valuable sugges
tion. ,Mr. Draper tells of it as follows:
"During the encampment in Georgia
I became very HI, probably from impure
water, poor food, and the climate. After
eating eyen the lightest food I would
bloat to. a great extent. My bowels were
In a very serious condition, and my
heart was so weak that a few minutes'
walk would exhaust me. I could'only
Just drajr myself around, and sometimes
I would have to stay In bed for a few
days, i -was treated in Georgia and in
Porto Rico by our company surgeon,
and later by the doctor at home. They
both told me It would be months before
I could expect to see any improvement.
""I had been la thl9 state of misery
for about four months when a friend
recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People. He had been benefited
by them, and thought they might help
me. I began taking them, and felt re
lieved in three days. I took them for
two months, and they made me well
and strong. I keep the pills by me all
the time, though I have had no need
of medicine for a long while."
Stomach trouble and nervous debility
always yield readily to the potent influ
ence of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People. These pills are a positive
specific for all diseases arising from
poor blood or weakened nerves. They
curewlocomotor ataxia, partial paraly
sis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia,
rheumatism, nervous headache, the after-effects
of the grip, palpitation of the
heart, pale and sallow complexions, and
all forms of weakness, either in male or
female. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People are sold by all dealers, or
will be sent postpaid on receipt of price,
fifty cents a box, or six boxes for two
dollars and fifty cents (they are never
sold in bulk or by the 100), by address
ing Dr. Williams' Medicine Company,
Schenectady, N. T.
This Is the only place I can (make my
get-away. They can't catch me In Se
attle. If they do take me, they will have
to shoot me from behind, for no man can
kill me from the front" He then held
out his hand to Scott and shook hands
very cordially with his unwilling assist
ant "Good-bye," he said, and, turning,
walked down the track toward Seattle
with a pack strung over his shoulders.

rial In dispensing- "the sincere milk" of
unterrlfied Democracy, Is pouring a drizzle
of Ice-cold water down the spinal column
of Cuban annexation? It will scarcely be
claimed that our Boston namesake Is con
sistent with Democracy's record when it
Insists that "Indeed we should be far bet
ter off to treat Cuba as a part of the
Union commercially than by saddling our
selves with her responsibilities as an In
tegral part of our Republic."
The rank commercialism of our contem
porary, the way In which It exploits the
almighty-dollar Idea, contrasts almost re
pulsively with old-time Democratic talk
about the Gem of the Antilles. No talk
of another star on freedom's banner, no
aspiration for the extension of the bless
ings of our free Institutions to the long
suffering people of that Island country.
Let us make all the money we can out of
Cuba, but keep her out of the family.
