Police C.rt.r William Linnen had an experience yesterday afternoon that placed him at his wits' ends to capture a man for whom he had been sent. The officer named is on day shift this week and a telephone message called him to Carroll street, where a young man, who had become intoxicated, was engaged in the occupation of breaking furniture in his home. When Linnen aproached the scene he saw his prospective prisoner dart into the house and, on following.

found that he had ascended to the second story. The officer's first impulse was to follow, but he decided to look around and see if the man had any other means of escape. Just as he reached the walk he saw Mr. Prisoner stepping from the porch into a convenient cherry tree. "I've got you now," said "Bill," as he began to climb the tree.

Apparently he had but as soon as he began to make any progress up the trunk Mr. Prisoner stepped to the porch and, after giving a quiet chuckle, disappeared in the house. It was up to the officer to slide down in a hurry and this he did. He stepped on the porch, intending to go upstairs and capture his man, but as soon as he did so the latter again step ped to the convenient branch. This game was kept up for several minutes and finally the policeman had to admit that he could vnot capture him alone.

In the meantime his prospec tive prisoner was quietly chuckling in the cool recesses of the tree. Officer Linnen decided to act with out any delay, so he called a child who was playing nearby and ordered him to run quickly for Officer Price." The latter soon arrived on the scene and stood at the foot of the tree. Linnen then walked into the house and upon the porch roof, plucking his man from the leaves and escorting him away. A person who was standing nearby heard "Bill" chuckle as he walked away with his prisoner, "He who laughs last laughs best." Stevens Appointed Chief Engineer. Washington, July 1.

Without filing a gun or limiting tlie slightest show of resistance the mutineers on the Kniaz Poteinkine hauled down the red flag and surrendered the battleship to Vice Admiral Kruger's squadron.

It was an anxious niomont'for Odessa as the squadron, of live battleships and seven torpedo boats, with their crews at quarters and their decks cleared for action, steamed withiu range of the Kniaz Poteinkine, the flagship flying signals which road. "Yield or lie sunk." The display of force was too overwhelming for the mutineers, ami all thought of resistance was abandoned. Admiral Kruger ordered the Kkateriua II. to place a crew on board the Kniaz Poteinkine, and the other vessels of the squadron immediately sailed away. The terms of surrender cannot be learned, as boats from the shore were not allowed to approach, but it thought that the mutineers received promises that the punishment prescribed by the naval rules would be mitigated to some extent.

The Eka terina II. remains in the harbor. The city is still in a state of feverish anxiety. All the hotels are guarded by troops, and further re enforcements have arrived. All reservations on outgoing trains have been taken four days ahead.

NEWS AT ST. PETERSBURG. Hear of the Surrender Through Dispatch From Washington. St. Petersburg, July 1.

The first news from Odessa of the surrender of the Kuiaz Poteinkine to Vice Admiral Kruger's squadron reached here through a dispatch from Washington conveying the text of a cablegram sent by the American consul at Odessa, Mr. Heenan, as with the declaration of martial law General Kabanoff had shut down on all dispatches. Even the foreign embassies here were without advices during the day. The Washington viisjpiitx li announcing; the surrender of the battleship was held up until 2 o'clock this morning. At the miuistry of the interior it had been stated yesterday afternoon that the Kniaz Poteinkine, with a mutinous crew, probably Intoxicated, and without a man on board capable of navigating the ship, had weighed anchor and started seaward.

The presumption is that the battleship met the squadron before the latter reached the oiling and under the frowning guns of Kruger's warships concluded that it was better to surrender than to light. Reports received by the ministry of the interior give an entirely different version of the origin of the mutiny, which is attributed to a deliberate plot organized by twenty sailors belonging to the revolutionary organization. These reports placed the number of killed during the rioting on shore at 800 and the wounded at twice that number. The declaration of martial law in Erivan was inevitable in consequence of the Situation in southern Caucasus, dispatches indicating that Moslems and Armenians were waging what almost might be termed war. With the surrender of the Kniaz To temkine, however, the immediate danger of the situation seemed to collapse, the 5.00O bluejackets at Libnu who followed the example of their comrades on the rebel battleship having earlier in the day yielded to the military, by whom they Were surrounded in a wood near the port, after a promise that better food would bo given them.

HAS NOT SURRENDERED? London Dispatch Asserts Mutineers Have Been Re enforced. London, July 1. A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Odessa dated early this morning asserts that the Kniaz Poteinkine has not surrendered. The dispatch says: "It was reported by the authorities that the Kniaz Poteinkine had surrendered unconditionally," hut it is now confirmed that she was joined by the battleship Georgi Fobiedonosetz, whose officers were made prisoners. Both vessels are anchored in the roads and are using searchlights vigorously.

"The commander of the troops has received a telegram from the government ordering him to sink the rebel ships without regard to a possible bombardment. "I have information regarding this second mutiny on absolutely reliable authority." The dispatch to the Daily Mail is timed 12:35 o'clock this morning, but nothing was received up to o'clock this morning confirming it. None of the other special dispatches from Odessa published here this morning is timed later than 0 o'clock last evening. Kishineff Held by Cossacks. Vienna, July 1.

Stevens is the New Chief Engineer. New York, July 1. John F. Wallace, who resigned as member and chief engineer of the l'anama canal commission, and whom Secretary Taft charged with leaving the canal work at a critical moment, gave out a statement last night replying to Secretary Taft. After making the statement public Mr.

Wallace left the city to take a much needed rest and vacation, and he does not expect to return during the summer. Mr. Wallace would not make public any of his future plans and said that the work he is to take up will be announced by the ollicials of the organization with which he is to become connected when they deem it proper. Mr. Wallace says: "The primary causes which led me to tender my resignation as chief engineer of the istlunian canal commission were underlying and fundamental, and I must emphatically resent the charge that my motive iu leaving fhe work was a financial one.

Pledged Family to Resign. "My final decision was arrived at as the result of tho six days' uninterrupted thought which I was able to give the subject in all its bearings during my voyage from New York to Colon In May. Furthermore, I had pledged myself to my family to give the matter of my resignation as chief engineer or of any position which would require my continuous residence on the isthmus serious consideration. "It was at this psychological moment that I received a cablegram from New York offering me a business opportunity which I was bound to consider. I therefore Immediately cabled the secretary of war requesting a conference and arrived in New York for that purpose on Thursday, June 22.

"On arriving at the Manhattan hotel on Sunday 1 as met by Mr. Cromwell, who ushered me into the secretary's private apartment, accompanied by my son. Assuming that arrangements had been made for a strictly private interview my sou withdrew, expecting Mr. Cromwell to do the same. However, the secretary in a rather peremptory manner directed Mr.

Cromwell to remain. Would Remain Indefinite Time. "If the secretary understood me to say that I had accepted a position in New York he labored under a misapprehension. I did state to him that I desired to accept one, but under such circumstances and conditions and at such time as would cause the least embarrassment to the administration and the least injury to the work and that I was even willing to go to the extent of remaining for an indefinite time on the commission should he desire my counsel and advice in arranging for the change, assisting in preparing plans for submission to the advisory board of engineers in September or in the further consideration of the question by the administration or congress during its next session. "While it was my own expectation that I should continue my connection with the work, it did not occur to me that I was not free to withdraw if justice to myself and my family and to my reputation as an engineer required me to do so.

"I have made no criticism of individuals, but I do believe that the obstacles due to the government methods required by existing law are so serious that they will have to lie eliminated if the American ieople are to see the Panama canal constructed in a reasonable time and at a moderate cost." DURYEA MURDER CASE. Strong Evidence is 'Being Found Against Palli. lie is Probably One of the Men Concerned in the Crime Implicated by Hogskic, Who Was Beaten by the Oiang Teeth Marks May Figure In face. The arrest of Andrew Palli, yesterday afternoon, in connection with Duryea's murder mystery appears to be of deep consequence.

Strong suspicions, based on a statement made by Bogskie to Chief of Police Cos grove, are felt that Palli was directly connected with the brutal crime, and a strong effort is being made to secure direct evidence against him. During his conversation with Bogskie, yesterday, Chief Cosgrove learned from the patient that he quite sure he recognized one of his assailants before he was beaten into Insensibility. The man, he claimed, looked like Palli and when he spoke the voice was Palli's. Itogskie had not intended to imparl this information, but he feared he might not get well and desired to inform the chief. As soon as the of ficer received information from Kogs kie he went to Avoca and arrested Palli, taking him immediately to the lockup.

Rogskie's story, together with the fact that Palli was known as a bad character in Duryea, a man with a police record, makes it appear that the police are getting light on the mystery. Another new development today, if it can be brought out, will strengthen the case. It is said that Itogskie told Chief Cosgrove when he made a state ment yesterday, that when he was at tacked he had bitten Palli on the arm and felt sure his teeth left a scar. Palli's arm, when examined today showed a large red spot, but the officials are of the opinion that the mark is caused by a boil. In order to be certain, a physician will make a close examination of the mark this afternoon to discover, if possible, its cause.

Pedro, the foreigner who was arrested Thursday, is still being held in the jail. He occupies the cell next to Palli. A constant watch is being maintained In the jail to keep the men from escaping and also to keep tabs on whatever conversation they may hold with each other. Chief Cosgrove is scouring numerous foreign settlements in the vicinity of Duryea and Avoca, in quest of further evidence in the case. County Detective Richard Jones visited Duryea today and looked over the situation.

Mrs. Zublkie, wife of the murdered man, was taken into custody this morning, charged with being drunk and disorderly. She is confined in the lockup and will be given a hearing later. arrest this morning had no connection with the murder case. Rogskie, whose fear of death led him to a statement, seems to be getting along well and there is no danger of his dying.

His wounds, which are mainly confined to the head, are healing and it will be a matter of only a comparatively short time until he will be able to leave the hospital.

The local trouble was clearing up sat isfactorily, according to Dr. Scudder.
