LoNDoN, April 80 "A dispatch to The
Times from Cape Town says: 1T l. the
general belief that tho prisoners will be
leniently treated. Tho imperial govern
ment Is taking STEPS for the relief of the
natives Of tho Bechuanaland proteotorato
on q large scale owing to the distress
caused among them by tho rinderpest
The Times also has dispatch from Pa
lapyo dated Tuesday, April 2s which
snys Earl Grey and party arrived at
Mangwo, en- route for Bulawayo The
roads arc reported TO bo safe. Command
ant Van Rooyen states that the natives for
90 miles round Mangwe are friendly. a
large portion Of the Mangwe garrison arc
proceeding TO Bulawayo. On the arrival
OF the hussars it Is estimated that there
will be 5000 men under arms in Rhode
sia. IL is probable that King khama will
co operate for tho moro rapid building of
the railway TO Bulawayo."
The Daily Telegrei eih Pretoria dispatch
says: "There is breathless astonishment
here ovor the severe sentences that Judge
Grogorowski has pronounced. Tho wild
est rumors are circulating anent tho state
attorneys reason for insisting upon the
heaviest penalty. Some of the accused
understood that after the general plea
of guilty the attorney would not press for
heavy punishment After his sentence
Mr. Hammond collapsed and was taken
directly to the jail in charge of his doctor
and the chief jailer. The principal prison.
ers were driven TO the prison with a strong
police escort. The remainder walked the
distance of half a mile surrounded by a
strong detachment OF artillery. The pris-
oners are very bitter and consider that
they were III advised in pleading guilty.
Fully 10 of them avow that they could
have proved their entire innocence Of con-
nivance or participation except in joining
the movement late In the day and In sign
ing tho manifesto. Nothing, they say.
could have been proved except this and
their giving a large check to the relief
fund for people temporarily ruined by the
January crisis. 1t is generally felt that
the gravity OF tho situation is increasing
hourly The jury Is signing a strong pe-
Ation TO tho executive to commute the
sentences and the most powerful inhu-
ences, sinking all personal differences, are
at work with the single object TO influence
tho decision OF the government for the

dciphia street Car Lfues.
pEILAuErPHIA, April 80. "A general
strike Oh all the street railway lines Of the
Union Traction company has been ordered
| to GO into effect at 4 o'clock this morn
| ing. With the exception Of two compara-
lively short crosstown lines not controll-
ed by this company every railway line in
the city Is affected by the order. The com
pnny employs nearly 6, 900 men.
The order 10 strike cmanatod from tho
centrnl board Of the AmalPnmated Asso-
citation Of Street Railway Employees after
an all day session. IT was the direct To-
suit OF correspondence between a commit
tee of employees and j. Lowber Welsh,
president OF tho Union Traction company.
when a proposition offered by the mon to
submit their grievances 20 arbitration was
summarily rejected by President Welsh.
The railway men have proceeded with
the utmost caution and secrecy, and al
though It has been clear for the past "a
hours that a crisis was impending the
strike order came rather unexpectedly to
the general public To insure support by
tho national board OF the association such
an order must receive the sanction OF that
body. and, so far as could be learned, no
Communication had been received from
tho board up TO this afternoon. Itappoars,
howoyor. that such sanction was given as
early as last Friday night, 10 bo used only
In tho ovont Of failure Of tho oyertures for
settlement.
Tho movements Of william d. Mahon,
president OF tho association, have been
guarded with great secrecy, but 1t Is au-
thorltatively asserted that no Is In this
city guiding the movements Of the men,
but that he is In hiding TO avoid possible
arrest
The principal question at Issue Is the
demand Of tho men for 81 for a ten hour
day. The company has positively declared
that such demnad cannot for a momont
be considered Othor grievances are al
legged discrimination In favor Of men en-
ployed since the strike OF December last
and tho dismissal Of old employees for
trivial reasons.
The temper Of the railway men has boen
demonstrated during tho past few days by
a number OF vicious assaults on nonunion
men, but the police authorities are deter
mined to prevent recurrence of the riot

cost

There was a noticeable stir In the gal

quickly checked.
Senator Teller turned his back on the
Republican party as he uttered the words
