Tracy was definitely located in the home of Char.es Gorrel, one mile north of Renon, at 2 o’clock Tuesday af’-er i noon. At 4:45 o’clock Deputy Sheriff Cook arrived with a part of the posse and advanc'd up the track towards Gor rei’s home. Tracy stood in the rear of the prem .ses and overheard a Conversation be tween one of the women inmates of he house and two young men from I Renon and then the convict plunged i into the brush and was lost to view.

Pressed to desperation, Tracy head ed due north and plunged into the out skirts of the lake where he finally suc ceeded in easting the scent.

HORDES CHEEK VOCIFEROUSLY From Paddington Station to Portals of St. James Paiacj Was Contin. uous Ovation to Vanquisher of Brave Baers. Lord Kitchener reached London at 12:11 p. in. Saturday and his passage through the metropolis was one of the most memorable of the many remark ble events of the past three years. The small procession of carriages and his staff in smple serviceable veldt dress, lacked the spectacular features, but evidently the crowd was there to see the man of the hour and not the pageant. From the moment he set feot in Lon dou to the time of ills disappearance beneath the portal of St. James palace Kitchener received such an outburst of popular'enthusiasm as quite overshad owed the demonstrations on previous and similar occasions. The Pacific Swam Navigation Com pany's steamer Orotava, which left Cape Town June 23, with Lord Kitch ener and staff on board, arrived at Southampton at half past 8 o’clock Saturday morning. Owing to the fact that Majer Gordon, who also was a passenger on the steamer, had been stricken wth xmaljpox. Lord Kitchener and staff qnly we ft- allowed to land. Received: as a Hero. The platform at'Paddington railroad stfation when Kitchener arrived looked more like a recepton room cf the war office or dsdla office than a railroad station. It was covered with red car pets and d'ci orated with a profusion of flowers and palms, while rows of decorated stands, crowded with spec-, tators, had bee n erected at all points from which a view of tb returning : general could be obtained- The platform itself was crowded with distinguished personages, includ ing Indian prince's in resplendant cos tumes, generals aad other officials in full uniform and many ladies in beau tiful summer dresses. The Prince of Wales,'’Duke of Connaught, the Duke of Cambridge, Lord Roberts, the com mander-in-chief, Lord Lansdowne, the foreign secretary; Mr. Broderick, the war secretary; the Duchess of Somer set, Lady Roberts. Lady French, Ma jor General Sir Francis R. Wygat.e., who succeeded Kitchener as srdar of Egyptian army, and Governor General of Soudan and General Slatin Pacha, British inspector general of the Soudan, were among those who assem bled to greet the general. Great Cheer Given, When Kitchener's train arrived, punctual tp the minute, a tremendous I cheer greeted the latest hero as he j emerged from his car and shook l ands j with the Prinse of Wales. He stood | head and shoulder above nearly every one on the platform and his workman like kliafli nifol m , with the large sun helmet, made fomillar by life pictures, was in striking Contrast to the glitter ing uniforms ana rows of medals and orders worn by ntost of those in wait ing. i The reception pasted ten or fifteen minutes, Y;bcn tie Prince of Wales and other me\iU > 'tfrnTTho royal family drove off.

For ten days it has maintained a price so high it sets all board of trade ideas topsy tur vy. In thirty years such a relation has only twice occurred, eind neither time did it last longer than a fsw minutes. The situation is one of the wonders of the modern commercial world. Twenty [million bushels of corn have been bough: by the ring for delivery to it during the present month, and in the first -ten days of the month only 4,(100,000 bushels cf that amount has been turned over, although the shorts are straining every effort to get corn, corn, corn, and save themselves from ruin. Sixteen more fcisiness days re main in the month, and during that time 16,000,000 bushels cf corn, of con tract grade must be brought to Chicago and delivered, or else the penalty must be paid. And in the last forty days the men of the pool have bee-n relentlessly, per sistently forcing up the price ef corn. They have sent it up 30 cents in forty days. They have made prices jump so that even hardened operators call it "a wicked deal.” Thess men are to gether worth probably $139,000,00(0. Their own cash on hand will enable them to pay for every bushel of grain they have bought. They are financial ly impregnable. CAMPAIGNERS PUGILISTIC. Evans and Latimer Almost Mix at a Meeting in South Carolina. Members of the Carolina sena- Liria campaign party who arrived in Charleston Saturday night from the meetings at Georges, Colleton county, were still excited over an encounter between John Gary Evans and Con gressman Latimer. in the course of his speech Latimer brought up t-he bond deal and insin uated certain things regcS'ding the ad ministration of Evans as governor. Wheeling in his chair, Evans de nounced the insinuation. “The man who makes such a state ment,” he said, “is an infamous liar.’’ Latimer turned livid. “That’s more than I can stand,” lie shouted, and. with that the two men squared for battle. *. According to several men on th stand, Evans made a move as if t draw a pistol, when the sheriff of the county rushed in and separated them; There is a feeling that Evans and- Lat£ mer will come to blows before the cam paign grows a week older.

FOURTEEN RESCUED Searching Parly Braves Death in Fated Cambria Mine. NINETY CORPSES TAKEN OUT Scenes cf Horror Witnessed at Johns. town as Aftermath of Frightful, Death-Dsai ng Mine Explosion. A special from Johnston. Pa., says: Just as day broke through the pall of fog Friday morning the grim details of the awful disaster at the rolling mill mine of the Cambria Steel company Thursday afterooc, dawned with re newed force on the thousands waiting for authentic news as to the extent of the explosion. The day was one of heroic rescues. Thrilling experiences attended the ef forts of the forty brave and daring fel lows who went down into the earth with a very faint hope to spur them that still they might be in time to re store to life some of those who were entombed. Death lurked everywhere around them, but undaunted they surg ed forward, swayed with the noblest of human purposes. The reward cf their efforts was the saving of the lives of fourteen of their fallow-men and bring ing them back again into the sunlight and back to living families. Last estimates of the number of dead reduce the fatal scope of the ca lamity. But these, while fixing it at around one hundred, are not conclu sive. General Superintendent G. J. Rob inson would not say at this time whether he thought there were 100 or 300 dead. He says there is no way of telling until a full investigation of the mine is made. It wa3 5:55 o’clock Friday morning when the first train load of victims were brought to the mouth of the main entry. Forty nine cars wer e used in ing out 48 dead bodies, and four Ing injured. The discovery of the dead bodies was made by a searching party about 10 o’clock Thursday night. They wer e lying in the main heading, two mile s in from the main pit entry. No atempt was made to remov a them until certainty was establishe 1 that no more living remained in th ; mine. The first statament of the disaste i p was given the Associated Press bj General Mine Superintedent George T. Robinson. He said: 4 "As to the direct cause of the exp!#" sion I cannot exactly say. We kne v there was an explosion of fire-damp i ll ihe sixth right heading of a sec-ticA commonly known as the ‘Klondike.’ “So far as I can find out now, ther' e were not more than three or fo-ii" deaths from the explosion itself. Tluj balance were caused by the after! damp. I Rescue Was Heroic. f “As to the rescue work, I directed it to commence just as soon after the I explosion as possible. We started! working our way down by putting upfl brattices in order to carry the air-mi with us. I suppose it was 10 o’clock! at night before we came across the bod ies of the living. Doctors John Law man and John Hannan went down width us. They carried tanks of oxygen with them and were emptied with goiid effect on the living. “Twenty more we found later on. They were scattered through that a-ee- i tion of the mine. Most of them werej on their way out when caught by the : fatal after-damp. Bodies Were Mangled. When the bodies of the victims came from the mine a long line of undertak er’s wagons and picnic wagons were in waiting to take them on the round about route to the morgue in the city. There they were hacked up to a door and a large force of police were ready to check the great throngs from press ing in too close. ' Body after body was dragged from tile wagons and borne inside. All of them were blackened and unrecogniz able. until the undertakers got to work PRESIDENT’S BUSY SUNDAY. Holds Long Conference With Root J Anent Negotiations With Vatican.
