Dlipoicd of Their Philippine Holdings Before
American Occupation.
Rome, Aug. 8'. According to In
ormatlon received b)tho Vatican, al
most all tho real estato belonging to
Spanish friars In tho Philippines, waa
sold beforo American occupation to
syndicates and corporations, registered
and duly recognized, headed by Amer
icans living in NonaVork. It is al
leged by the aamo authority that, al
though tho friars hold some shares in
tlioso corporations, thoy do not own
controlling Interests. Tho Vatican is
surprised at the information, in view
of Governor' proposition to buy tho
friar's lands, which aro apparently no
longer In their control. It la con
sidered romarkablo that Govornor Tatt,
fresh from tho Philippines, wan not
awaro of the situation.

panies and all of the recent negotia
tions conducted by Secretary Boot luvo
carefully taken Into account any con
tingencies which might arise through
these tranafera. Tho transfers aro not
considered to havo been entirely in
good faith and it is generally believed
that the friais do in fact hold a major
ity of stock in tho companies which

A party from Croaton, Wash., had
tho honor of running to earth tho out

wards of $3,000 offered by tho govern
ors of iVasliiugton nnd Oregon and by
private individuals. Thn party was
made up of tho following persons, citi
zens of Creston: C. A. Straub, deputy
sheriff; Dr. E. C. Ijintor, Maurice
Smith, attorney, and J. J. Morrison,

tho Goldfinch youth, who hnd been
forcibly made the roniianion of the
Oregon convict for ovor 24 hours nt the

ing In a field. Tho party went to
him, and while engaging him in conver
nation they saw a man imuo from tho
barn, whlrh could bo plainly seen from
where tho party stood on a rieu of the
ground. "Is that Tracy?" asked one of
the party. "It surely Is," laconically
replied Fddy. With this Information at
hand, and tho man so closo to the hunt
ers, there wus naturally n grcut deal of
excitement. Iho party ceparutod, and
Lantcr and Smith accompanied Eddy
in tho direction of tiio barn, whilo tho
other two men swung around to cut off
any break for liberty in another direc
tion.
Neairng that Rtructnro, tho two man
hunters stepped behind tho barn on a
slight eminence, from which thoy could
watch everything that wont on, and the
farmer continued up to thn barn door,
Wnen lie arrived tlioro J racy camo
from the barn again and began helping
tho farmer unhitch the liorres. He car
ried no rille, althouh he had his revol
vers in place.
The fugitive saw the men carrlyng
rifles, and turning shraply on Farmer
Eddy, said: "Who aro' tlioso men?"
"I don't tee any men," mid tho host
Whereupon Trucy pointed out tho two
men on the hill, waitng to be suro of
their man beforo they began Bhootiug
Kddy informed his companion who tho
men were, and nt that tlmo tho ofllcers,
stepping a little closer, commnaded
"Hold up your hands!"
At this juncture the outlaw jumped be
hind Edilyand placed both tho man and
his horso between himself and the
hunters. In this position ho command
cd the farmer to lead his hoi to to the
barn, and remaining under this cover
ho moved toward tho shelter. Whon
nearly to the stable he broke and dash'
ed inside. Ho did not linger long, but
in the twinkling of an eye reappeared,
rifle In hand, and started on a dead
run down tho valley. Turning to tho
two men looking for him, the desper
ado fired two shots, hut without his
tisual preclplon. Neither bullet took
effect, nnd without waiting for further
fighting Tracy took to his heels and
made all possible haste down tho valley
leading south from tho barn.
The man hunters wero off In pursuit,
firing as rapidly as possiblo lit their
fleeing quarry.
Coming to an immense rock, tho out
law taw a chance to got rid of his pur
suers, and accordingly dodged behind it
and began a fusllnde which he proba
bly imagined would end th- struggle.
Eight shots in all wero fired, and
those eight will take some of the efful

convict as a dead shot. Seeing ho was
not snccceding in his cudoavors, ho left
his position behind tho rock and made

ho stumbled, and failing on his faco

Indopondonco, Or., Aug. 11 A cornl I
tion that demonstrates tlio improved

the scarcity of cordwood. While tho
shortage does not assume tho character
of a wood famine, yet tho prlco Is con'
sidornbly advanced ovor that of last

all this is tho Inability to obtain men

That Me Completed Ihe Ceremony of Ihe

by the grace of God, nt llul United
Kingdom of Great Britain nnd Ireland
nnd tlio llritlsh Dominions llnyond tho
Sous, King, Defender of the Faith, Em
H'ror of India, was today crowned with
out hitch of liitrui, and tonight J.ondon
Is noisily celebrating Iho oont for
whlrh thu woild has nwulted us, per
haps, It never a wal tel any other coro
nation. In nil respects thocoroniition was Im
pressive. That prldo of oiuplru which
marked ()iiiou Victoria's Jublleo was
lacking! mid In Its stead there pre
vullod among all classes a keen rend lec
tion Hint onlx six weeks ago their king
lay In danger of death, and this today
produced tlmiikfulnrssnnd genuine sym
Hithv for the man rutlier than adula
tion for the king. This, however, did
not prevent the public from voicing
appreciation of such military display
an tlio short military procession guwt
them it vhiinco to seo.
Until tho lHximlng of the guns an
nounced that tho crowning of King
Kdnnrtl had boon nchluved, thorn lin
gered In tho minds of thoiiandn a
lumens apprehension that even nt tho
Inst I uent some untoward event
might once moro plunge the nation
into consternation. When this was
pusred thu nmestrnlnod Jubilation wus
as much ii tribute to tho king's Nr
soiiul popularity as It was nu vldcifco
of relief from tho tension of the lusl
fow weeks. So t.hllo tho sitn on the
Btrcols wero robled of many of those
elements that usually accompany n
great pageant, (buy will long ho to
momliorod, ixirhaps romuwhat tenderly
by those who stood on tho stands, at
windows and on the sldewulks to see
King Edward after ho had won nlmost
from the jaws of death his crown.
In Wcttmlniter Abbey.
In Westminster Abltey tho scene was
nothing lesi llmn nmrvclous. Nearly
7,000 mi'intivra of the nobility, tin.
tlergy and tho gentry hnd gathered
wllh foreign princes, niiibns-adnrs,
colonial rulers, liidlnu sitenlntes, nnd
leaders from tho furthest inarlers of
tho glolm to whoru tho union Jack tiles,
to do honor to tho king. Two Inci
dents of thn service In tho Abbey will
live In thu memory of many who wit
nesied them. Tl.o first of theso,
wlilih nlmost dovelojl Into a dramatic
contretemps, centered around tho aged
Archbishop of Canterbury. From the
commencement of tho service tho arch
bishop had tho greatest difficulty In
reading or remembering the prayers.
Thn book from which his nlmot blind
eyes endeavored to read shook In his
hands, ami when ho camo to plnco the
crown uhiii King Edwards head Ids huge
frame, towering abovo thu seated king,
swayed so violently that the Bishop of
Winchester had to supimrt Mm, while
tho Dean of Westminster put a guard
ing hand under thu crown. It was evi
dent that tho Archbishop of Canterbury
could not Mi his sovereign's head,
nnd, nfter plnblng around, ho wus just
about to com pit-to tho most luiiortant
part of tho ceremony when It was dis
covered that ho had the crown the back
to tho front. Slowly ho raised It, but
too Into to prevent tho choir from pre
maturely bursting out with a loud
"God Save the King." Amid a tension
that had grown lo a pitch of painful
norvousnosi, tho Urchhlshop finally
managed to plnco tho crown corrrectly
Uioii the king's bead. A fow moments
Liter camo the climax of his feebleness.
Ho was kneeling to do the first honmuu
of all tho MibJtH!ts of tho king, when
suddenly ho almost fainted, and would
havo fallen iiimn Ids sovereign' knees
hud not King Edward tenderly but
firmly grusKd both tho prelate's hands
nnd lifted him lo his foot. Tho bish
ops of Inidon, Winchester and Dur
ham clnspod their arms around tho
archbishop, tho kliigtisscd his wrink
led hand, tho archhjsliop'd f,cnd fell
back, his feet moved slowly nnd me
chanically, and thus lie was moro enr
rled than led from tho throno to King
Edward's chapel, where ho was re
vived. Ilei Majesty's appearance won ex
truvugant cnconlums, osjieciully from
tho women, many of whom declared '
that Queen Alexandra did not look it
day ovor 35. Tho rucuu'H own crown
ing was brief and simple Whon the
four duchesses went to hold a canopy
over her majesty's head, tho Duchess
of Marlborough and tho Duchess of
Portland led tho way. Thoy orformod
tholr duties excellently. At tho ap
proach of tho crucial period for which
tho peeresses had long practiced, iinino
ly, tho putting on of their coronets tho
moment tho qucon was crowned, u
flutter of norvoiiHiioes ran through
tholr ranks, coronets wero nulled nut
nnd pinched into slmpo, tholr fuceo
hurdoned Willi anxloty, and then all
thoir arms suddenly woke un. nnd
coronets, largo and small wero put In
place, noino crooked and boiiio straight.
For tho next flvo minutes tho
disregarded what passed beforo them;
first one und then another turned
around for advlco and holn. nnd then
onuod a mutual pushing of ouch
other's coronets into place.'
