The rioting was confined to three places in the southern section of the city and l>y nightfall the police records s.liowed that a dozen persons had either received Imllct wounds or been hurt by flying missiles. '1 hree of those hiv by bullets received what are presumably mortal wounds, and that on one was killed outright seems miraculous considering tne great number of shots exchanged by the employes of the company and the =>t rikc sympathizers. The first disturbance occurred at the intersection of Hroadway and Miller street. The second riot occurred at Broad way and Pestalozzi street. ihe worst of the riotous disturb ances occurrcu near the intersection of California avenue and Keokuk street. In this affray a non-union motorman and another employe on a far of the Transit Co. were probably fatally shot.

C„ within the last two days with 900 Japanese immigrants des tined for the United States, presum ably to avoid possible deportation. The inspection of the arrivals by the steamship Glenogle had been com pleted, with the result that jo Japan ■sc immigrants wer ordered deported. In a letter to Mr. Powderly Mr. Watehorn says that public sentiment in Tacoma is strongly againsl the so called "invasion of Japanese and by public meetings, newspaper criticisms 1 iid discussions in the meetings of the workingmeu an anti-Japanese feeling is being aroused." In discussing this matter in a sub sequent letter. Mr. Watehorn says: "Despite the general outcry against this so-called invasion of Japanese I am <|iiitc unable to identify myself with the publicly expressed opinion that it is an unmixed evil. The clean liness of the average Japanese iinmi -1 grant, the abundance and good con dition of his wearing apparel, the nmouiLt of < ash he possesses, the di versified industries they represent, their numerous and widely separated destinations. their health and youth frrliiess. all lend, in my opinion, to de prive the so-called influx of much that is considered dangerous to the pence anil welfare of society. Nevertheless, it is quite apparent that there is some unlawful immigration being conduct ed as a purely commercial enter prise."

"The 'st op-t he-war* party have used my name." said the premier, "in sup port of their ideas, by stating 1 that I promised there should lie no annexa tion of territory, or annexation of {■old fields. 1 never pave a pledpe. 1 never meant to give a pledpe. "1 state a simple historical fact. We were accused of poinp to war for hist of gold and territory. We went to war to abate oppression of the queen's subjects in the Transvaal and because our remonstrances were met by an insulting ultimatum, to which, if the queen's government had sub mitted, her power, not only in South Africa, bilt over her colonies and de pendencies would nave been at an end. We were forced into war by the ac tion of bur opponents. "We have made a tremendous sacri fice of blood and treasure in this con flict. and the only certainty of pre venting' a recurrence of this fearful war is to insure that never again shall such vast accumulations of ar maments occur, and that not a shred of the former independence of the repnfflic shall remain. "We are not yet at tiie end of the war. but I shall venture to lay it down as a primary condition of any future settlement that precautions will be taken <>f such a cuaraeter that such a war will never occur apain." Cape Town, May 30.- Lord Roberts litis announced to his troops the an nexation of the Free State, which hereafter will be called the Orange River State. A dispatch from Lorenzo Marque/, dated Wednesday, says: "Command ant Kraus has surrendered Johannes burg to Lord Roberts." It is reported that a special train from Pretoria, with fugitives, was de railed on the Transvaal side of Koma ti Poort, a number of passengers be ing killed or injured.

June 1. —Delated messages from Pretoria confirm tne reports of the departure of President Kruger with his cabinet and staff officials 1 uesday night and the selection at a meeting of citizens of a committee to administer the city provisionally. The present seat of the P.oer gov ernment is Miihlleburp. P.ennet Burleigh, wiring to the Paily Telegraph from Klandsfontein Tuesday, says; "Much rolling stock and seven engines have been captured by Lord Roberts. The principal losses in t he lighting- have been sus tained by the mounted infantry, but flic casualties are small. (Jen. French and (Jen. Hamilton were engaged to the west of Johannesburg." Cape Town, June I. -(Jen. Rutidle has defeated a P.oer commando at Senel.nl. His casualties were 45 kill •d and many wounded. London, .I tin. Lord Roberts con tinues silent regarding Pretoria, jprobably because he cannot wire of •vents from own knowledge. Lor enzo Marque/, where all the news from the lioer side i> re-handled, ca bles that communication with Pre toria is now suspended. The peace party appeared to be in the ascendant: and. as soon as Presi dent Kruger and his cabinet left Pre toria to organize a new capital, the citizens' committee persuaded the commandants of the forts to with draw some of the troops front tho defenses, perhaps with the view of keeping order in the town. If mes sengers were sent to the P.ritish, or if the British, bsing two hours' march from Pretoria on Wednesday, entered it then or at any time prior to Friday noon. Lord Roberts wou*d certainly have telegraphed this fact Hence it looks as though there wis a I'oer force between Pretoria and Jo hn nnesburg. The Times has the following from Lorenzo Marque/, dated June 1: "Re ports of the most conflicting charac ter are current here, due to the ac tivity of the P.oer agents. While one section declares that President Kru ger has returned to Pretoria for the purpose of arranging terms of sur render, another asJkerts that the British have been repulsed outside of Pretoria. Nothing authentic is known here regarding Mr. Kruger's where abouts or the situation in the Trans vaa I." Cape Town, June 2. —Gen. Warren, with 700 men, occupied a strong de fensive position at Fabersput on May 29. At dawn he found that he was surrounded, and he was attacked by 1,000 rebels. The horses we re stam peded, but the force concentrated and the Boers were repulsed. A small party in a garden contin ued to tight tenaciously, but evacu ated tis the charge began, leaving a number of wounded.
