The IlauGder and His Party Closely
Guarded On fhe Tictorid.
LONDON, Eng, Feb. pa majority OF
the Jameson troopers arrived at the Pad
dington station this evening from Ply
mouth. a moderate-sized crowd was in
the street, but none of its members, even
though they were relatives of the men,
was allowed TO enter the station. Most OF
the crowd believed that DR.. Jameson and
his party had arrived and they refused to
be disabused.
When the cabs and carriages conveying
the men issued from the station the crowd
cheered Justify. The troopers enjoyed
their reception and waved their hats in
response to the cheers. AS they proceeded
eastward, their uniforms attracted atten-
tion and large crowds followed the ve-
hicles, cheering and roaring for DR.. jane
son.
There was big demonstration in Pic
cadilly Circus, where the crowd was so
dense that the carriages proceeded with
difficulty There was a great contrast be-
tween the reception accorded the men in
London and in Plymouth. The enthusiasm
displayed here showed that DR.. Jameson
is popular hero in London.
The transport Victoria anchored in the
sound at midnight. As soon as it was
learned that it had arrived a boat that had
been chartered by the press representatives
put out to it. When the press boat at
tempted to run alon gside the transport it
was warned off, the warning being accom-
panied by the information that no COM
munication would be allowed with the
prisoners.
Several officers of the Victoria were on
deck and they were questioned at long
distance regarding DR.. Jameson and his
officers. They declined to give any infor-
nation beyond the statement that all the
prisoners were well and that Dr. Jameson
was asleep.
The statement was made some days ago
that after Mr.. Cham mberlain's interview
with Cecil Rhodes the Government had de-
cided that it was important to prevent DR..
Jameson from communicating with any,
body before he was delivered to Justice,
and had, therefore, dispatched Inspector
Forest. Instead of going to arrest DR..
Jameson the inspector went to Madeira.
where he Joined the Harloch Castle and
accompanied it to England. It is learned
that he attempted to pump the troopers
on the subject of the raid, but he met with
little success. He did not arrest anybody.
Some of the troopers here deny the story
that they were without food and water on
their march to Krugersdorp, and thus con-
tradictlon is given TO the statement that
they were exhausted through lack of these
essentials, and that this was one OF the
reasons that led to their surrender.
The morning papers will publish to-
morrow colu mn after column of stories
teld by the men who came 20 England on
the Harloch Castle. These stories contain
little but what has already been cabled by
the United Press. Some men declare that
DR.. jameson did not receive the order
from the Colonial Office instructing him to
return TO British territory until after the
lighting with the Beers had commenced.
AS soon as the order was received the
white flag was raised by the British as
token of surrender

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 23.-At the
weekly meeting of the United Labor
League to-day there was long discussion
relative to the application of delegates
from the American Railway Union for ad-
mission to the league. A protest against
their admission was ordered by the repre-
sentatives of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, on the ground that the Ameri-
can Railway Union was interfering with
the older trade organizations connected
with railroad service.
Delegates of the American Railway
Union who were present said the union
had no wish to interfere with the other
societies, but that its object was to benefit
the condition of every class of railway en-
ployes. 1t was decided finally by large
majority to admit the delegates, and as
result three local lodges withdrew from
the organization.

ELECTRIC OMNIBUSES.
They Will Soon Be Running on the
Streets of Berlin.


Streets of Berlin.
Now that horse cars have been almost
entirely superseded by electric motor cars,
bus companies in the European capitals
are becoming uneasy, and are expert
menting with various systems of
electricity to replace horse power.
Thus, the Omnibus Company of Berlin
has recently made a contract with the
Accumulator (storage battery Company
of Hagen, Westphalia, who have guaran-
teed type of bus, fitted with storage
batteries beneath the passenger seats,
which will meet at the requirements for
bus traffic in large city. These buses
will not run in tracks, but anywhere on
the streets, and are guaranteed to
climb any hill of grade less than one
foot in ten. The accumulator storage
battery will provide power for four consec-
utive hours, and the reloading, which is
done by exchanging the exhausted accu-
mulators in the car for others, will take
but from two to three minutes. The only
difficulty at the present moment for the
acceptance of the project in Berlin is the
necessity of creating large electric power
plant for the purpose of loading and hand
ing the Hagan accnmulators. 1t is very
probable, however, that by next summer
buses propelled by electricity will be a
common sight in the Berlin streets.
