SEATTLE, Wash., July (.Deputy Sheriff Nelaon of King County and Dep uty McCullen of Thurston searched , the cabin at Syuawk Slough, where the battle occurred Thursday, In .which Deputy Raymond was killed. They found pro visions sufficient to last two weeks, and among them waa a frying-pan, a small coffee pot, a portion of a cartridge belt and a heavy gray blanket, described by Clark a being In tha pac -Tracy. The blanket fead the nam f Harry Tracy scrawled in the corner with ink. The searchers at the time of the battle failed to search the cabin. The deputiea who entered saw a ladder leading to the loft, but did not go up fof fear Tracy was there. They did not know of .the movements of the posse last night. They hurried to Botbell and told Sheriff Cudihee, and at I o'clock he picked six men and drove hurriedly to the cabin. He la confident that Tracy will return there tonight. He has notified the guarda to clear out and permit Tracy to coma to the cabin if he will, fcudlhee thinks cap ture la certain. , Tracy at Breakfast. (Journal Special Service J SEATTLE, July 6. Tracy ate breakfast At o'clock this morning at Farmer John son's house, four miles north - of Mrs. Vanhorn's. He left there, going north, and appeared much fresher than yester day, confirming the belief that he had slept all night. He treated the fartner nicely, and said he had no desire to kin any one but his pursuers and the. prison giards. ; He characterises the stories of his bloodthlrstlness As lies, and poses as a; misrepresented man. He says no man who does blm a favor will go unreward ed. He thinks his chances of escape are good. , Tracy Still at Large. (Journal Special Service.) SEATTLE, Wash., July 6. A rumor this morning that Tracy had been, ktllad near Ballard caused a flurry of excite ment, but proved to be" unfounded. Tracy is still unoaptnred. He obtained Mil MM BERKELEY, Cal., July 8. The finding of a human head In ' the hilk near Berke ley last evening created, a great mystery.

He terrified her into silence. Soon after she notified Sheriff Zimmerman of Sno homish County, who reported here. The officers believe Tracy slept yester day In the woods near the park, hoping to catch a train last night. The police here hold to the theory that he Is trying friend. IMlMrH'' Wrote telling him he wouM try to reach there and asking him to plan for his secretion until the. pursuit had 'died out, ao that he could take a train for the East. The letter was lost Tracy in his flight. Many friends of Tracy here in the ten derloin district, where he used to live, are being closely watched. Friday's Hunt. SEATTLE. July 5. Reports of all sorts were 'flying thick and fast here yester day aa to the whereabouts of Tracy, the Oregon convict, and nearly the whole day was spent In fruitless search for htm. Where the murderer is now no one knows, and Sheriff Cudihee, who heads the searchers, 'freely admits that the only thing to do is to maintain a careful watch for his next appearance. The consensus of opinion is that he is still in the Im mediate vicinity, and today the whola cduntry Is covered with small detach ments of the man-hunters, so that when he Is again discovered it will be but a short time before his pursuers are on his trail. ; Rawley Dead. Nell Rawley, who was shot In the battle at the Vanhom house on Thursday night, died In the hospital here yesterday. Dep uty Sheriff Williams, who was shot be low the heart in the first fight, will prob ably,, recover, as the bullets have been ex tracted. There is reason to doubt that Rawley waa killed by Tracy, as the post mortem examination disclosed the fact that a 88-caUber pistol bullet had inflict ed the fatal wound, and the probability seems to bei thai J. I. Knight, a mem ber of the posse,' fired the Shot that took Rawley's ljfer as .he Is known to have carried a .88 -revolver. Cannon Powder Exploded. .

The Nlckum & Kelly Transportation Company met the marine engineers' de mands this morning. It is a small com pany, however, and only gives employ ment to one engineer. The firm operates the Hustler, which is engaged in towing barges of briek and sand. Withthis one exception there have been no n?w developments whatever. The oth er companies are standing firm, and say that they intend to make no concessions: If the enirlneers wish to return to work at the old scale, the owners say that their positions will be open to them If they do not remain out too long. Captain J. R Jones,, of the Willamette & Columbia River Towing Company, this morning "The owners Intend to stand, pat. W are making arrangements to get other engineers, and by Monday we expect to have at least half of the boats' running. There are many competent engineers on the Sound who have promised to come here Just as soon as they are assured of positions, and It will not be long until all the boats are In operation. One of my boats, the' Eugene, is running this'mom ing, but I have four others lying idle. One of these, however, I think, will be running before night." ' The owners held a meeting this after noon at l! o'clock, but they declare that it was not for the purpose of considering uny plan by which they can get their i former employes to return. ,They are simply getting together to size up the gen era! situation, and decide upon the best course to pursue In order to resume the river traffic with as little delay as possl hie. ' , The engineers are also meeting regular ly, but say that nothing new has come up further than the concession mentioned above. They are firm In their stand, and show no inclination of yielding. The boats which are running are as fol lows: The Dixon, of the Shaver line; the lone and Kehanl, of the Washougal; the America, of tha W. 3. line; Pohnona, of the Oregon City Company;, Mascot,' Un dine and Lurllne. of the Kamm line; Northwest and Joseph Kellogg, of the Kellogg Company; Glenola, of the Regu lator line; Bailey Gatzert, of White Collar line., T.

MANY VISITORS Fourth of July Excursionists In sect the City Hall Sights. The rooms of the 'Oregon Historical So ciety and the corridors of the City Hall are today crowded with visitors from the country, who are improving their oppor tunity to Inspect the many Interesting ex hibits. About 50 people had registered on the visitors' book maintained by the society at an early hour this afternoon, and this, of course, represents but a small proportion of the crowd. Many of those of the visitors who were advanced in years, as they tolled up the steps, expressed very pointed regrets at the disuse of the elevators, and even the regular attaches of the city are bitterly complaining along the same line. This, however, probably will be remedied in the near future, an ordinance for that purpose being now before the city father's for action. SWALLOWED THE CRACKER An incident not necessarily uncommon for the Fourth of July was reported at jbne of the hospitals yesterday. A Hi who had been hit In the mouth by a roc et was reported somewhat Injured, and It was said positively that he had swal lowed the firecracker, so sudden and complete was its disappearance. The boy was refused admittance to the hospital very likely for the reason of fear of se rious damage te the Institution, there be-, Ing an element of fear entertained that the rocket had not finished going off. .and there might be mill another explosion. Al most anything may be expected of the small boy on the Fourth. in (in. i The health office holds an opportunity for some one to get a city position. This morning Health Officer Btersdorf, after consultation with Mayor Williams, de cided to appoint an office deputy, so that himself and his assistants would have more time for outslda work.. It has not as, ret been decided whether a woman or a man will be given the position. STEAMBOATMEN FIGHT.

WASHINGTON, July 6-It Is believed here that a number of the ex-leaders of the Filipino insurgents held prisoners at Guam will decline to accept the amnesty offered In the Fourth of July proclama tion. It is pointed out that a similar proc tarnation was issued by the Philippine Commission a year ago, and the prin cipal Irreconcilables' at that time refused to take ths oath of allegiance upon, which their freedom was made contingent. GOOD HEALTH REPORT. Inquiry at the City Health Office as to the general health of Portland develops the fact that very little disease of a con tagious nature exists here. There are at present 26 cases of smallpox in the city, but none of them are of a virulent type, and, according to Dr. Zan, the City Phy sician, thelr'nnnjher is decreasing every day. The habit of the people of getting out In the fresh air, he says, Is the great est aid to the stamping out of the dis ease, and he hopes In the course of the next few Weeks to have the pest entirely eradicated.! Fevers, scarletlna and other kindred dis orders have but a very slight hold. In deed, there are fewer cases of this kind han in any past season at the same time of the year for a long time. THE WEATHER. The rains in the North Pacific States have practically ceased, but a few show ers occurred last night in the Wllamette valley and In Eastern Oregon, Eaatsrn Washington --sad Western Idaho. The temperatures west of the Rocky Mountains are generally from 5 degrees to 10 degrees below the normal. The indications are for fair weather, with rising temperatures in this district Sunday. EDWARD A. BEAL8. Forecast Official. Injured by a Rocket. During the display- of fireworks lam evening at the south end of Seventh street, O. King, of Raleigh, was struck on the arm and badly bruised by a failing rocket .stick. Fortunately he wore a heavy coat, or a laceration of the left forearm, about half way between tke el bow and wrist, would have occurred in stead of the wound received. , Each rocket has a stick about eight feet In- length attached to it which acts as a guide n Us course through the air. and It was this falling stick by' which Mr. King was injured. The) rocket sped through Its (j flight directly over the heads of thoueands of spectators and some "one in the crowd shouted, "Look out for the stick.". In another moment the whistling sound of ths falling stick and then Tt; dull"' thud were heard, telling that some one had bsen struck. .. The force of th blow was sufficient to das Mr. King for an instant "and he would" have 'fallen has not ; ready arm supported him. , ' , , lit would seem that mors oars should be exercised In directing ths rockets, as one of these, sticks,, weighing several pounds, and striking a person upon ths head, would mean almost oertaia death. -.',- -; M riiBiL If! lOUNTAIN'S'SIDE Fearful Scenes of Death Enacted at Gloversville, N, Y.
