USING DYNAMITE.
Large Section of the st. Louis Transit
COmpany,s Track Torn I'm.

Large Section Of the ST. Louis Transit
Company's Track Torn Up.
ST. Lows, May 31.-At midnight a
terrific dynamite explosion at Fifteenth
and Chambers street awoke residents
living within q mile, smashed windows
in every direction and tore up big
section Of street car tracks \ No one
was injured. It is supposed that strik-
ers or their sympathizers were respon-
sible for the explosion.
In q rioting sense the days develop.
ments were the worst experienced since
the strike on the lines of the st. Louis
Transit company was inaugurated, over
three weeks ago. The rioting was con-
fined entirely to four places, in the
southern section of the city, and by
nightfall the police records showed that
nearly a dozen persons had either re-
ceived bullet wounds or been hurt by
flying missiles. Three Of those hit by
bullets received what are presumably
mortal wounds, and that no one was
killed outright seems miraculous, con-
sidering the great number of shots ex-
changed in indiscriminate fashion on
the part Of employees of the company,
the strike sympathizers and the strikers
themselves ..-. =

Ali Foreign Legations at Pekin
Placed Under Protection of
Their Own Troops.
Hundred and Eight Americans,
With Field and Machine
Guns, Go Ashore.
Fresh Atrocities by the Boxers
in Vicinity Of Pekin Con-
stantly Reported.

TEN Ts1N, May 31.--American, Brit
ish, Japanese, German, Italian, Rus
sian and French troops to the number
Of 100 each have been ordered to guard
their respective legations at Pekin, but
the viceroy here will not allow them to
proceed hence to Pekin on the railroad
without the authority of the Tsung Ii
Yamen. One hundred and eight Amer
leans, with a machine gun and field
gun, landed here Tuesday night amidst
great enthusiasm on the part Of the
residents. Five Russian and one Brit
ish warship have arrived at Taku, and
the British are now landing. Other
warships are hourly expected. Ia
There is a disposition here to believe
that the "Boxers" will disperse before
the foreign troops are ready to act. f,
Tien Tsin is in no danger. 4.:.

British Public Confident, How
ever, That Roberts Is at
Johannesburg.
Capture Of Pretoria the Next
Move and an Easy Victory ~
Is Anticipated.
Pretoria Reports Tell of Sew.
eral Engagements With
British Troops.

LONDON, May 31.-As Lord Roberts
has heretofore always fulfilled his pre-.
dictions it is taken for granted here that
the British marched into Johannesburg
at noon. Indeed, reports are current
that kilograms already have been re-
ceived announcing the fact and the Sc
rious part of the campaign from the
military point of view is regarded as
over. Any prolonged defense Of Pre-
toria is considered highly improbable
md many military men anticipate that
General French will capture the Trans
vaal capital within day or two by
sudden and unexpected move.
Public interest largely centers in Pres
ident Kruger, his capture or escape.
The occupation Of Pretoria would be
largely robbed Of it's value in the es-
innate of the British if Dom Paul were
still at large and able to keep alive the
dying embers Of war.
The Pretoria report that the British
were driven back evidently refers to the
prolonged fighting Of General French
westward Of Johannesburg.

DEADLOCK IN LUMBER TRADE.

Three Cornered Fight on at the Head of
u. the Lakes. =
DULUTH, May 31.-The present lum-
Der situation at the head of the lakes is
without parallel in the history Of this
market. A more determined three-cor-
nered fight was never witnessed, with
the lumber buyers on the one hand
combating the present price of lumber
and the rates for vessel transportation,
and the manufacturers. The buyers
want the lumber to be had in this mar
ket. They are holding back, however,
under the impression that they can
break the prices. The greatest dead
lock in the history Of the business is on.
The owner of lumber tonnage mean
while is lending strength to the situa-
ton by sending their boats for ore
rather than accept a paltry $3.50 a
thousand feet for moving lumber al
ready sold. This is ST. thousand more
than many boats were getting two sea-
sons ago, but then it costs more to op-
crate boats now than then.

Roberta Proclamation Read at Bloem-

RLoEMFoNTEIN, Monday, May 28.-
Amid salutes and cheers and the sing
Ing of "God Save the Queen" the mil
itary governor, Major General George
Prettyman, formally proclaimed the an
nexation Of. the Free State, under the
designation of the Orange River COL
ony. The ceremony was somewhat
imposing and the scene in the Market
square inspiring. An immense con-
course had gathered and the town was
gay with bunting. The balconies and
windows surrounding the square were
crowded with ladies, among them Lady
Roberts and the Misses Roberts, the
Countess of Airlie and Ladies Henry
Bentick and Settrington. ....-.a
The troops were drawn up under
command of General Knox and enter
tanned the spectators. The governor,
accompanied by General Kelly-Kenny
and their stats, escorted by the Welsh
Yeomanry, was greeted with general
salute, after which, amid an impressive
silence and in clear voice, heard in
every part of the square, General
Prettyman read Lord Roberts procla-
nation annexing the Orange Free State
as conquered by her majesty's forces,
to the queens dominions and proclaim
ing that the state shall henceforth be
known as the Orange River Colony.
Lusty cheers greeted the concluding
words of the proclamation and these
were renewed with ever increasing vol
ume as Lord Acheson unfurled the
rOyal standard

AT WITWATERS RAND,

Beers Report Successful Engagement
There.
PRETORIA, Tuesday, May 29-An Of
fetal war bulletin just issued is as fol-
lows:
son Sunday fight occurred close to
Van Wycks Rust, in Gabrand. The
federals fought well and the British
troops seemed tired out. At dark the
federals were forced to retire in the di-
rection of Van Wycks Rust on account
of the overwhelming force of the Brit
ish.
The British attacked Witwaters
Rand yesterday and were in contact
with the federals at Gabrand, but they
were beaten back with good results by
the federals under Commandment Louis
Botha. The federals were heavily
bombarded all day long, but kept their
positions. The British loss is reported
to be considerable.

CALUMET, Mich, May 31.-There is
every reason to believe that the fire in
the Calumet and .Hecla mine is under
control and that it cannot last much
longer. All shafts except five on the
Hecla branch have been sealed with
clay at the mouth to prevent air circu.
lating and tanning the fire. The shaft

UNFIT FOR RESIDENCE.

Half of Chicago's Chinese Population Must
Leave Its Present Quarters.
CHICAGO, May 31.--Nearly half the
Chinese population of Chicago must
leave it's present quarters and secure
habitation in buildings whose sanitary
condition will satisfy the scrutiny of
the health officials. Health Inspector
Young's bubonic plague detail reported
that, with few exceptions, every base
ment occupied by the Orientals was un-
fit for residence. The underground
abodes were described as inviting germ
pest should it escape the attention of
the authorities and journey to Chicago.

other link in the chain which binds to.
gether the once warning factions of the
North and South was forged by the
dedication Of monument erected to
the memory Of men who wore the gray
as well as those who wore the blue, and
who died in mortal combat OH the
bloody field of Antietam. The event,
which is probably without parallel in
the history of the world, was graced by
the presence Of the president Of the
United States, accompanied by many
members Of his cabinet, score or more
of United States senator's, twice as
many members of congress, the gov
ernor of Maryland and prominent men
from all parts Of the country. There
were also present hundreds of veterans
who fought for ''the lost cause'' and
thousands who fought for the side that
proved victorious. Side by side, shout
der to shoulder, they stood with uncov-
cred heads throughout the ceremony
which marked the conveyance Of the
monument from the state Of Maryland
to the national government. All ami
mosities forgotten, they listened to the
simple stories of those who told Of the
heroism Of the dead and of the desper-
ate struggles Of those who survived the
battle and still live to tell the many in
tidents of that day Of carnage and
strife.
Speeches by Prominent Veterans.
The dedicatory ceremonies were
opened by Colonel Benjamin E. Taylor,
who introduced General Henry Kyd
Douglass, director of ceremonies.
Prayer was offered by the Rev. B. F.
Clarkson, who was followed by Gov
ernor John Walter Smith in an address
of welcome. Colonel Taylor, as presi-
dent of the Antietam Battlefield COM
mission of Maryland, then presented
the monument to the National govern
ment, and the Hon. Elihu Root, secre-
tary of war, in a brief address, accepted
it on behalf Of tho United States. Then
followed short addresses mainly of a
reminiscent character, by Generals John
B. Brooke, James Longstreet, Orlando
B. Wilcox, J. E. Duryee, Senators For
aker, Burrows, Daniel and others who
were prominent on the opposing sides
in the great struggle. These were fol.
lowed in turn by Hon. George B. Nc
Clellan of New York and other mem.
bers of the United States senate and
house of representatives. This con.
cluded the band played ''Hail to the
Chief' and General Douglass intro.
duced President Mckinley, who deliv.
cred the address of the day.
The exercises closed with benedic.
ton by the Rev. William Dame.
