' The matter of the nominee for vice t president Is still in doubt. When Col onel Quay was here this week liv said the Pennsylvania delegation would un doubtedly favor tho candidate v/ho would bo regarded as President Mc- Kinley's choice, lie declared that the 1 desire of Republicans generally was i to support the choice of the adrjinls- | < tration for second place with th< view I of strengthening tho ticket. The Re- ! publican party, he predicted, will enter the campaign with a determination to i make an aggressive canvass and # with | absolute confidence inn successful . contest at the polls. All talk about tho j Pennsylvania delegations being in a combination in favor of any candidate ' for vice president, he insisted, was 1 absurd, as there has been no con- 1 1 ference on the subject.

St. Louis, June 4.—Anarchy is ram pant in St. Louis. Innocent parties are uot safe. Eveu weak womanhood Is no protection against the malice of the lawless mob. Yesterday there were two outrages up'on c young women. Chi-istine Thiree, eighteen years olil, was set upon by a crowd, estimated to be" two thousand men, simply because she! had ridden on a car of the St. Li){lis Transit Company. She was on .way to spend tlie Sunday with iier mother. She worked far in the West b£d as a servant. 9Jje could not afford to hire a car riage to get to her home in South St. The distance was too far to tfrnik and get back to her employer's llTjtiliie for the pveninjr. She took t]ie qSly method at iter disposal—a Street cijr. eiWhen she alighted at Ninth and avenue at 5 P. M.from a Oliero ujfe* car she was approached by a y&ujjg man who called her a "scab."

About dawn a heavy charge <>f dy namite was exploded in the conduit of the Olive street cable railway at and Boyle avenues, an aris tocratic section of the West End, with destructive results. The cable was broken, the heavy trap JJPkgs were twisted together like a huge bole was torn in tho the "street. The force of the eMfcrnoa> shftok buildings for blocks one in the neigli- BftfaSod.

Kruger's special train was last heard of at Waternlboven, two-thirds of the way to Lorenzo Maniucz. where he may arrive to-night. Everything is calm here. Lorenzo Miirquez, May 30.—Kruger is expected here hourly. The town is crowded with refugees front Pretoria and Johannesburg. Outgoing steamers are crowded. Heavy shipments of gold have passed through. All the refugees say the wai ls over. The Boers are trekking for the United States. It is said here that Messrs. Fischer, Wolmarans and Wessels, the Boer delegates, now in America, had a sec ondary motive, contingent, of course, 011 their success or failure iu inducing Interference, a plan to bring about emigration to America. They are known to have been well supplied with funds, and the dispatch from London ten days ago, telling of a British spy learning from them 011 their passage to America that they had no intention of returning to •Africa occasioned 110 surprise here. The United States will see a tre mendous influx ol' them In the next few months, and German West Africa will receive many of them. They are arriving by the tralnload, some with their valuables, others without. Commandant Krause lias surrender ed Johannesburg to Lord Koberts. By to-night's first train from Pre toria there arrived a few Greeks who were, so they say, the last to leave Johannesburg yesterday. They affirm that shortly after their departure from the town tho train in which they were travelling was shelled by the British and half of it cut off. the re mainder steaming to Pretoria. This incident probably happened at Elandsfoutein Junction. Passengers to-niglit say that Pretoria is utterly demoralized, and that the rush for the coast has but just begun. Five more train loads of fugitives are expected to arrive here in th > night. Boston, Mass., June 4.—Mr. Fischer, the chairman of the Boer delegates to this country, was seen at the "Pop" concert to-night and was shown the dispatch from Pretoria, saying that Kruger had fled, that the army had been dismissed anil that Roberts would be in Pretoria to-niglit. "I have seen this dispatch before," said he,"and while we, of course, can not say anything at all about this, still I am not yet prepared to believe the truth of the message. "As to our staying in this country, it depends altogether on our instruc tions from the Executives." A FEW DON'TS. Don't attempt to gain time by steal ing it from sleep. Don't think that pestilence kills more fools than cigarettes. Don't think your sins won't call again if they find you out. Don't try to get the last word when talking with a woman. Don't think because a man is a poet he can't appreciate lobster salad. Don't try to make a man eat his words. Some men would rather light than eat. Don't you believe it's hard to be poor. It's the easiest thing in the world. Don't think because a man is a mill ionaire that he suffers less with the toothache than the poor man. Some girls in an English school the other day were discussing the mean ing of the letters "G. C. B." after Lord Roberts' name. One young woman quickly settled the difficulty by say ing that the initials stood for "Gen erally Called 'Hobs.' " According to reports from Canada about seven hundred Icelanders aro coming this spring to take up farm ing in British America in the neigh borhood of the Doukhobor settle ments. NEW YORK MARKETS.
