St. Louis, . iy 30. —111 a rioting
sense Tuesday's developments were
the worst experienced since the strike
on 1 lie lines ot* the St. I.ouis Transit
Co. was inaugurated,over three weeks
ago. 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. The battle while it,
raged was fierce and in view of the
large number of shots fired, estima
ted at 200, it is reman.able that there
| were not more injured.
St. Louis. May ill. All the fury of
the striking employes of the St. Louis
Transit Co. and their sympathizers
seems to lime been expended, for
Tuesday's violent demonstrations ami
Scenes of bloodshed were followed
\esterday by a pronounced lull. I'p
to 10 o'clock last night only one name
had been added to the long casualty
list, that of Anton ( halupsky. who
was shot in tiie legs oy a policeman.
Public interest 111 the strike has
veered to the meeting of the police
board, called to devise measures to
bring order out of the strained con
dition of affairs. The board met Wed

mined to call upon Sheriff Pohlmann
to summon a posse commit at us 1o as
sist in quelling the disturbances in
cident to the strike, having failed in
its efforts to secure 2,500 extra police
to preserve order.
Sheriff Pohlmann was present find
held a conference with the commis
sioners. lie stated he anticipated
such a call and had prepared a list of
600 men on whom he will call to
serve as deputy sheriffs. After the
meeting President Hawes. of the
board, said the dignity of the city and
law both required that all local agen
cies for the preservation of law and
| order should be invoked before a de
mand was made upon the state to as
sist in preserving peace and quiet,
I'he commissioners had, he said, asked
the sheriff to summon a posse of 1.000
men for this purpose and Ihe sheriff
had promised to secure them.

claring that he was a union man and

Washington, June 2. Robert
Watehorn, supervising special immi
grant inspector at Taconia, Wash., in
a telegram to Commissioner, General
Powder ly received Friday, states that
two steamers have arrived at \ ic
toria, 11. 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."

Washington, June 2. —The house
yesterday, after a lively debate ex
tending over two days, defeated the
joint resolution proposing a constitu
tional amendment empowering con
gress to regulate trusts. It requires
1 two-thirds vote under the constitu
tion to adopt an amendment to the
aonstit ution.
The vote stood ayes 154, nays 1 -» 1.
The affirmative vote, therefore, was
short of the requisite two-tliirds,

Xewlands, of Nevada, voted with the
republicans for the resolutions, and
two republicans Mr. Loud, of Cali

These were the only breaks from
party lines. The populists voted sol
idly against the resolution. The de
bate preceding the vote had a strong
political flavor throughout and was
it times very personal. The features
were Ihe closing speeches of Mr. De
Vrniond, of Missouri, and Mr. IJttle

sides and the short speeches of Mr,
McCall, of Massachusetts, ar.ainsi the
resolution. Mr. McCall distinguished
himself fie I ore during this session 111

London, May :»(). —Lord Salisbury,
who Has entertained at dinner last
evening by the City of London Con
servative association, made an im
portant announcement regarding the
British go* ernincn's South African
pol icy.
"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.
I!y the release of the British pris
oners at Waterval a full brigade will
be added to the army of Lord Uob

-1,152 privates among them.
London. 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. The British lost
15 killed and 30 wounded.
