Tracy Long Canoe Trip 14th
Week of Coal Strike Death of Sen
ator McMllllan Large German
Steamer Building Activity.
King Edward VII of England and
Queen Alexandra were crowned on
Saturday. In all respects the cere
mony was impressive and It was car
ried out with a perfection of detail and
ack of accident that has rarely
characterized similar displays.
The stately Westminster abbey,
which during the 1.U0U yean of it!
existence has witnessed the growth ol
England from one of the smallest
kingdoms to the greatest empire of the
world, was crowded with 7,000 people,
Including members of the nobility,
clergy and geiitry, foreign princes,
ambassadors, colonial rulers, Indian
potentates and leaders from the tout
quarters of t.io globe.
Tbo greatest interest was felt in
the appearance of the king after his
severe illness. The king looked pale
and rather fine drawn and was by no
mcaii3 us brown and robust as pre
vious reports had represented.
While punctiliously bowing from
flilo to side during the ride to and
from the abbey, ho did so with a
gravity very unusual to him. lie sat
far back in the carriage and moved
his body very little.
The queen beside him was radiant.
She never looked better. The cheers
which greeted the royal pair were
loud and undoubtedly genuine and
very different from the perfunctory ap
plause which usually gr.ets the ap
pearance of membeis of the royal fam
ily. After the king had tnken the oath
as administered by the archbishop of
Canterbury and had signed the same,
tho venerable archbishop took the
golden crown from the altar, tho king
being seated in St. Edward's chair,
and after prayer placed It upon King
Edward's head. At the same instant a
IliKid of light was thrown upon the
eentral scene, amid the acclamations
of the audience, and the clanging of
the Joy bells, the noise of guns and
tho shouting of the people outside pen
etrated the abbey.
Immediately after the crown was
put on the king's head the peers who
were present put on their coronets.
The net of hemnge was then performed
by the archbishop and the Duke of
York and the Duke of Norfolk, the
former for the clergy and the two lat
ter for the nobility.
The queen was crowned in a similar
manner by the archbishop of York.
At tho moment the queen was
crowned the peeresses put on their
coronets. The queen was then led to
a throne beside that of the king after
which tho communion was admlnls
terrd, both king and queen making
costly offerings.
During the long wait Edwin A.
Abbey, the American artist, who was
commissioned by the king to paint the
coronation scene In the abbey, took
careful note of the surroundings.
The coronation fo-tlvitles In Lon
don were continued Sunday. There
were considerable crowds almost ail
day long In the vicinity of Bucking
ham palace and along tho route of Sat
urday's procession, viewing the decor
ations and watching the flow of notable
personages to and from the various
thanksgiving services.
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
and the royal guests at Buckingham
palace attended divine service In the
chnpel royal of St. James palace Sun
day morning. At the close of the ser
vice the national anthem was sung.
Their mnlestles were loudly cheered by
the crowds cn the streets as they drove
back to nnplrtngham palace.
Record-Breaking Corn Crop.
Bradstreet's says of the state of
trade:
MtdMiiumcr quiet has gone from dis
tributive trade, and stimulated by real
ly brilliant crop prospects and good
prices for faim products, fall business
has be?un to expand. Buyers are ar
riving in largo numbers at all markets
and next week promises to see de
mand furthtr increased.
Manufacturing Industry, which has
been more than usually active this
tummor continues well employed. Iron
and steel mills and furnaces, for In
staiue, have not hnd tho usual sum
mer fhul downs, except in particular
cases. Failures are few and liabili
ties unall.
Prices are steady. The drift of
farm products promises to bo down
ward .though so far not so marked as
earlier expected. Bank clearings
continue to show gains over last year.
The problim of financing the coming
large crop movement is attracting at
tention. It is to be noted that while
leading interior money centers report
good supplies and confidence in ability
to give necessary aid, a larger quanti
ty of money is needed this year than
ever before.
Pre-eminently conspicuous among
the crops is corn, which with favorable
conditions In the great surplus-producing
slates, promises a record-breaking
yield. Among the other crops a strik
ing contrast Is afforded by produce,
vegetables and fruits as compared with
a year ago, when shortages in yields
were tho rules.
Advices from the boot and shoe
trade are Irregular. Leather and
hides are very active, however, and
skin? cf all kinds are taken as fast as
received. Tanners are reported more
active than for some time past. Belt
ing butts have advanced, and higher
prices for leather products seem prob
able.
The weight of Imported Iron is press
lug on domestic sentiment, though nc
perceptible effect Is yet Been on prlcoj
for pig Iron which Is still in active
request for next year's delivery.
Hardware, as predicted, has had nc
dull season this year and business li
as active as ever.
Business failures week ending Aug
7 number 169 aaginst 168 last week

156 In 1899 and 157 in 1898.
Striking Miners Still Firm.
The Hth week of the anthracltt
miners' strike began Monday. Mr
Mitchell Is authority for the statement
that the strikers are In good shape
Contributions to the relief fund are
coming In from mang quarters now am!
the dissatisfaction which was at first
evinced over the distribution has now
disappeared and the strikers have sot
tied down to what they believe Is going
to be a much longer siege than was
first anticipated.
A $20,000 contribution from the
Brotherhod of Railway Trainmen is ox
pected by the strikers within the next
10 days. It Is said 400 lodges will
contribute $50 each. Other railway
brotherhoods are expected to follow
suit.
A general review of the whole
strike region shows that unless the
operators can break the ranks of the
strikers by starting up a colliery here
and there the men will be Inclined tc
remain out for some time yet. The
amount of relief to be distributed will
not satisfy all, but the miners seem
to be willing to make some sacrifices
In that direction in the hope that
eventually they will win.
Tracy's Wild Life Ended.
After baffling the officers of two
Btates and after a wonderful flight of
400 miles across Oregon and Wash
ington, Tracy was hunted down by four
citizens of the little farming town of
Creston and a single deputy sheriff.
The posse surrounded a barn on the
Eddy ranch on Lake creek, Wash., In
which they had been Informed tho
noted outlaw was hiding. Upon their
approach Tracy left the barn, and
dashed for the brush, the pursuers
firing an they ran. At the edge of a
field he stumbled and fell, crawling
Into the grain on his hands and knees.
Night was approaching and the pur
suers, now reinforced by Sheriff Gard
ner and "0 deputies, decided to sur
round the field and wait for daylight.
The wheatflold was entered at dawn
and Tracy's corpse found with his
face turned to the sky, his left baud
grasping his revolver with which he
had taken his own life. Two bullet
wounds in the left leg showed the
cause of the desperado's despair. The
reward of $5,600 will be divided among
five men.

appointed Hon. Oliver Wendell Holmes,
chief justice of the supreme court of
Massachusetts, to be an associate jus
tice of the United States supreme

due to ill heath. Several months ago
he suffered a stroke of apoplexy, which
some time later was followed by
another. He has not appeared on the
bench blnce he was stricken the first
time. His advanced age, 74 years,
told against his recovery with serious
force.
Realizing that he probably never
would be able to assume the place
which he had so long filled with dis
tinguished ability and honor, ha de
cided a short time ago to tender h!s
resignation to the president.
With the exception of Mr. Justice
Harlan, he served on the bench of tho
United States supreme court longer
than any of his pre.-ent colleagues.
He was appointed an associate jus
tice by President Arthur on December
19, 1SSI, his service extending, there
fore, through a period of nearly 21
years.
Judge Holmes, whom the president
has selected as Mr. Justice Gray's
successor, is ono of the most distin
guished lawyers and Jurists of Massa
chusetts. His career on the bench,
particularly as chief Justice of the
Massachusetts supremo court, has at
tracted wide attention. Like Justice
Gray he Is a native of Ma-sachnsetts.
He Is the Bon and namesake of the
late Dr. Holm,es. poet and essayist.
GALAPAGOS ISLANDS' WONDERS.
Forty Thoufand Tons of Pure Sulphur
In One Extinct Crater.
San Francisco, Aug. 12. Captain
Richard Nye, who was on the steamer
W. S. Phelps, told of the wonders of
the Galapagos islands, which the lit
tle vessel recently visited. He said:
"The islands are as full of minerals
as a shad is of bones. On Albemarle
there Is an extinct crater, miles In di
ameter, In which there are In sight
40,000 tons of pure sulphur. The crat
er Is about 10 miles inland and a
tramway will be necessary for trans
portation to the coast, but it should
be a small matter considering the
possible profit.
"One of the queer things about Albe
marle island Is that It Is overrun with
wild dogs. The animals are a mongrel
bre?d and were left on the Island by
whalers. The dogs have become wild
and are extremely vicious. They are
wolflike in their habits and run In
drove3."
Captain Nye also tells of a remark
able lake on the Island of Chatham,
at an elevation of 3.000 feet above the
sea level. This lake, according to the
captain, rises and falls with the tide
and no sounding line has ever reach-d
the bottom. The water Is beauti
fully clear and abounds with fish.
Many relics of an ancient race are
found In the Islands.

For a Long Time.
Wllkes-Barre, Pa., Aug. 11. The
fourth and last man to be arrested
for the murder of the Bliss mine
watchman, Daniel J. Sweeney, was put
in jail Saturday. He is Paul Tom

the blows after bis threo accomplices
had lured the victim to the spot se

Detective Richard Jones the informa
tion which led to the arrest of Tom
Blieck and after Tomsheck had been
jailed, made a confession to District
Attorney Benjamin Jones.
Sweeney had been a marked man
ever since the end of -June, when, after
a Severe beating which laid him up
for many days, he had a number of his
assailants arrested and punished.
After that he was on the alert, for ho
heard the threats agatn.-t him, and
knew his llfo was in danger. The
plot, it is understood, was for the
three men who were first arrested to
mal:e friends with him, which they did,
and when he left Melarnlck's hotel to
go to the mine at 11 o'clock on Tues
day night they accompanied him and
within two minutes led him to the
spot selected, where he was beaten to
death. According to the prisoners, the
blows were all struck by Tomsheclt.
The latter was held without ball for
trial. District Attorney Jones consid
ers the case now complete.
A large, force was collected at the
Temple Coal and Iron company's mine
at AVyomlng and It Is reported thnt
work will be resumed today.
