be needed in the' pursuit of Tracy. -
MILITIA IS DISMISSED.
Believing that Tracy had eluded them
by sonic divergent path leading toward'
Lake Washington; on the east, Sheriff
Cudihee recalled the greater part of hjs
deputies and their volunteer helpers and
proceeded _ back toward Seattle, estab
lishing a .cordon of pickets, along the
entire road. He proposes to 'Populate
the surrounding country with armed
guardsin parties of from three to' seven
members each. ' ; - .- '.
The . Post-Intelligencer's staff cor

Bothell, this afternoon, said that the
convict was reported to have been seen
about three miles south of Bothell. driv

The Prince and Princess of Wales ar
rived at 11 o'clock and were received by
a guard of honor from the Indian con
tingent. The procession formed at the
Foreign Office. It was headed by mem
bers of the Indian Council and marched
through the corridors, which were lined
with Indian troops, to the India Office.
While the Princess of Wales remained
on the balcony the Prince traversed the
length of the hall to the dais where all
the Indian potentates were assembled.
There, under a crimson canopy bearing
the royal arms and supported by four
dusky Indians clothed in white, the
Prince of Wales received the presentation
of awards of the King's representatives
by the Indian officers. This ceremony w««
followed by a eupper, music and social
Intercourse among those present. The
reception lasted until a late hour.
Such a picturesque spectacle had never
betii .witnessed in London since the visit
of the Sultan of Turkey, thirty years ago.
So many people who applied for invita
tions.; were disappointed that the India
Office has decided to illuminate the rooms
for their . beneJit to-morrow night.
Three thousand guests were invited to
attend the reception. All the gentlemen
present wore uniforms or court dress and
the {ladies were clad in most elaborate
and bejeweled costumes, but they were
sliloutdazzled by the gorgeous attire and
'the; profusion of jewels worn by the In
dian Princes.

The flowers alone cost £3000. The great
reception hall was transformed by palms,
ferns and orchids Into a semblance of an
Indian garden. A feature of the decora
tions was an immense ceiling cover,
painted to represent the Indian firma
ment, in which the stars and constella
tions were accurately depicted. Electric
lights behind the cover were utilized to
make- each star scintillate in a realistic
manner. Three thousand incandescent
electric lights were employed in the il

of the evening included all the royal
representatives to the coronation of the

The decorations of the buildings were
magnificent and cost, including the furni
